Useful repositories with Eloquent?

Posted on

Last week, I wrote an article about the futility of the Repository pattern for Eloquent entities; however, I promised to explain how it can be partially utilized effectively. To do this, I'll analyze how this pattern is typically used in projects. The minimal necessary set of methods for a repository is: <?php interface PostRepository { public function getById($id): Post; public function save(Post $post); public function delete($id); […]

I must admit, the results of the Call for Papers exceeded all expectations. Yes, we knew the topic was relevant; we saw this at other conferences and meetups, but that it would uncover so many new facets and angles — […]

BlessRNG or testing the RNG for fairness

Posted on

In game development, you often need to tie something to randomness: Unity has its own Random for this, and there is also System.Random. Long ago, on one of the projects, it seemed that both might behave differently (although they should have a uniform distribution).
