    Demonstrating GitHub API with React

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 02:13 PM PST

    📷I wanted create a project using React and the GitHub API. The main changes are using drop-down buttons to search by language and filter by label. Initially, I found it difficult to search for "good first issue" or "help wanted". On the main site I would have to go to the advanced settings to apply those filters.

    Are there any other features that would be nice to have in this app? Would something like this be helpful to encourage more people to contribute to open source?

    https://github.com/fulin426/Issues-Hunt

    Thanks!

    *note that the API only allows me to return 1000 results total*

    Just started learning html/css, how do i overcome fatigue, and move forward/improve?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 04:15 PM PST

    I work as a flight instructor and wanted to switch careers to programming, my goal is to become a front-end developer and eventually work my way to full stack. I've never had any experience and am self taught with resources on mdn, devdocs, stack overflow, etc. I would say I'm 5-6 weeks into learning from scratch (knew nothing about html css). I've talked to some friends who said they "mastered" CSS in 12 days. I understand you can never master CSS because it is always evolving. I'm currently coding with Sass with a BEM module to try and organize my code better.

    When I try to re-create web pages, most of the time I can figure out what goes where but it still takes me a while. Does that ability come with time? I feel completely overwhelmed at times, and at a point just lost. The other day I decided to step out of my comfort zone and create something way above my knowledge. I wanted to create a card, where the front would show a bullet list item and on the back a simple picture when you hover it. For example

    card { perspective: 250rem; -moz-perspective: 150rem; position: relative; height: 52rem; &__side { height: 52rem; transition: all .8s ease; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; backface-visibility: hidden; border-radius: 3px; overflow: hidden; box-shadow: 0 1.5rem 4rem rgba($color-black, .15); &--front { background-color: $color-white; } &--back { transform: rotateY(180deg); &-1 { background-image: linear-gradient(to right bottom, $color-secondary-light, $color-secondary-dark), url(../img/***.jpg); } &:hover &__side--front { transform: rotateY(-180deg); } &:hover &__side--back { transform: rotateY(0); }

    I figured someone more advance can look at it and recreate it in a couple minutes. It took me roughly 7-8 days or researching trial-and-error. Until I finally figured it out. I honestly feel like I'm over my head, and at the point of mental exhaustion and fatigue. I still struggle occasionally on layouts of a section and proper BEM tags. I want to fully understand CSS instead of relying on frameworks such as bootstrap. I just need advice on progression and overcoming obstacles and mental fatigue.

    My mind is fried at the moment so sorry if this doesn't make sense or wall of text.

    Looking for a mentor, or an oppertunity

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 08:50 AM PST

    This is part of an entire life overhaul for me. I'm one of the few still sticking to those new years resolutions. I was barely able to walk to the end of my block at the beginning of this year. sitting at 445lbs I rarely left the house in years and just couldn't get out of my own head. Turns out I have sever adult ADHD and anxiety just after taking my meds for a few months, its like night and day. I workout everyday and spend time learning web development on the side. I found a great job working with disabled adults to pay the bills. But what it all boils down to for me is that my family has been with me through hell and I just want to give them the lives they deserve. I will do anything for them and I do mean anything.

    Sufficed to say, I am not here playing games or trying to waste anyone's time. I have been following a 2019 boot camp course and from what I can tell its a very practical approach to landing work. So far I have HTML, CSS and Java feeling comfortable. But, if you are in a position to help guide me or give me an opportunity, It wont be for nothing. I am 100% committed to this goal. I will 100% pay it forward. I am literally fighting to save my life and my family. I don't know if anyone will hear me out there, but I could really use a hand here..

    Help: Account Activation Emails (Mailgun via Heroku) went to spam on customer accounts? How to fix?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 02:47 PM PST

    Hey all, launched a site for a client today and while mailgun showed all the 10 activation emails were accepted and received by the users (this is a corporate company using messagelabs for email), none of them went through (probably all went to spam). I called the users and none of them received it. What should I do? I am on the free Mailgun starter plan. Set up a separate mail domain, so my domain is example.com and the emails were sent from the mail.example.com email and FROM field in the email is contact@examlpe.com

    Anyone else have this experience with Mailgun? Should I switch to another provider? Ask each person to whitelist my email. Ask the customer to have their IT dept whitelist my domain for the whole org? Appreciate your help (boss is panicking!)

    Name.com reversed purchase of premium domain name and transferred it off the account without our authorization.

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 04:18 AM PST

    We are in rather strange situation and frankly appalling situation. We purchased a premium domain name off name.com on the 2/9/2019, in the process of setting up our company only to find today (2/21/19) that name.com has reversed the sale and transferred the domain off our account without our consent. They effectively stolen away our company and brand name after spending large amount of time and money developing it.

    ​

    Here is the email:

    Thank you for your support of Name.com. We have been contacted about your order for the aftermarket domain, maviks.com, by the brokerage service whom the seller utilized to broker the domain. We have been informed that the domain was not available for sale at the time of your purchase as the seller no longer owns the domain. We apologize for the inconvenience in this matter and we have refunded you the full amount for the order at this time. You should see the refund to your credit card within 3-5 business days if not sooner as this will depend on how soon your credit card provider returns the funds to you.

    This comes after another incident several years ago in stark contrast, but equally infuriating in which my girlfriend had an account which had approximately 15 domain names registered on it. Several were premium purchased names. One domain name had a high ranking. She purchased and renewed the domains for several years. Her previous partner accessed the account and transferred all domain names to his own account, without her consent. When contacting Name.com support, she was told that there was nothing she could do as he had access to the domain tokens.

    ​

    Is what they are doing legitimate? do we have any kind of recourse to get the domain name back?

    ​

    Thank you in advance for any advice.

    ​

    [Advanced] SVG editing on the fly; Illustrator font settings ... any experts?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 04:35 PM PST

    Client needs to edit some text in an SVG on the fly with some JS. That's all working fine.

    The problem is ..

    in Inkscape when we export the SVG it retains the styling for the text fields (ie it keeps text-anchor: middle as part of the text field)

    Whereas when we're exporting an SVG from illustrator it does not save the styling for text fields (it just draws the text at the given X,Y location and calls it a day).

    Since illustrator doesn't preserve the text-anchor:middle styling, when the user changes the text via my JS ... it does not get centered and it FUBAR's everything....

    There *has to be* a way for illustrator to export the styling for the fonts, but I cannot for the life of me figure it out.

    Anyone out there know what I need to do?

    If you know the answer to this and things like it, my client is happy to pay for the expertise, please PM me. We're just lighting money on fire stabbing in the dark.

    Passing array using JSON returns string and not array

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 03:02 PM PST

    When I pass the array to the server, I pass it as an array. When I get the array from the server I have to pass it as a json string; however, when i use json.parse(), it returns a string and not an array. Any idea how to get the array object rather than a string? Code:

    function getUserBasket(){ //Create event handler that specifies what should happen when server responds request.onload = function(){ if(request.responseText === 'Session not started'){ //No user in current session - shouldn't happen document.getElementById("ErrorMessages").innerHTML = request.responseText + "(User basket)"; } else{ //There is a current user basketArray = JSON.parse(request.responseText); document.getElementById("basketHistory").innerHTML = request.responseText; console.log(basketArray); console.log(Array.isArray(basketArray)); /*for (int i = 0; i<basketArray.length; i ++){ console.log(basketArray[i]); }*/ } }; //Set up and send request request.open("GET", "check_session_basket.php"); request.send(); } Server/php: <?php //Start session management session_start(); //Find out if session exists if( array_key_exists('loggedInBaskets', $_SESSION) ){ echo json_encode($_SESSION['loggedInBaskets']); } else{ echo 'Session not started'; }

    You are a quasi subordinate to someone brilliant-- how do you deal?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 07:18 AM PST

    Okay, I am an effective, mediocre developer under most circumstances. I get my time in the sun when I come up with the occasional objectively optimal outcome.

    However, the last few days I have been working sometimes side by side or in parallel to a guy that is no question a better developer than I am. The code is better, I can tell even without being able to understand it fully.

    I can't effectively model against what he is doing and I am failing to meet deadlines because everything is so abstracted.

    What do you do? I am trying to wrap my head around the things he is doing, but it is slow going and it doesn't always behave the way I think it should.

    I've had junior developers under me, where I had the luxury of being the more adept worker. In that respect, I feel like I have always left things where I could be followed without trouble.

    I draw the line at noticably poor response. But, if it loads and runs in an acceptable time frame-- simpler code is better... for my own style. I generally don't use ternary if statements in files that will be tinkered with often as a quick and dirty example.

    It is easy enough to understand:

    price = isMember ? "$2.00" : "$10.00"

    But, easier and insignificantly slower: 

    price = $10.00 if (isMember) { price = "$2.00" }

    I will opt for the second example almost every time. Especially if it is getting run through a minimizer.

    If you ever found yourself following someone writing prohibitively excellent code-- what did you do to still deliver good work of your own?

    Looking for a guide for failover redundancy at different datacenters

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 11:04 AM PST

    Ok, so the VPS in question is at Linode, and now for the second time in a year, having issues with "connectivity issues" (ie, can still get to Linode control panel, it still shows up, just accessing it is down or random, so my clients' clients are complaining...)

    I went looking for failover solutions, so that if one datacenter looses connectivity, the domains will failover to a duplicate VPS in another datacenter. (no worries about replication, got that taken care of) However, all the guides/solutions I am finding (even for other providers, like Digital Ocean) are based upon the failover server being in the same datacenter....

    Kinda pointless when it is the datacenter itself that is offline...

    If anyone can point to a guide, or a service to run the domains through, or even just what the correct terminology to search for to come up with a solution to this, it would be much appreciated...

    Thanks.

    Full Stack Developer Jobs Question

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 02:25 PM PST

    Hello,

    ​

    With most jobs, do you need to communicate with clients?

    ​

    Are there full stack development jobs where you are alone, in front of the PC doing your tasks without much communication with outside clients?

    ​

    Thanks.

    Trying to clone a WP site, was asked for a bunch of GitHub info from other devices?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 01:59 PM PST

    Titles says the bulk of it. Basically I tried cloning the site via a plug-in but didn't have the right access. So I asked him to send me the FTP info and they sent me a wall of text back about how they need my public key, GitHub username, etc. Like, wtf? Is this not overkill? Should I just ask them to install the plug-in for me? It all just seems super weird and over developed to do such a basic thing

    I'm looking for a free daily horoscope API. Anyone know of any? (Also CORS issue.)

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 01:18 PM PST

    I have found these two:

    http://sandipbgt.com/theastrologer/api/

    http://horoscope-api.herokuapp.com/

    ​

    HOWEVER, they both result in a CORS issue.

    This is for a Rails API with React frontend. I've included ''Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*'' in my header request, as well as enabled '*' in my API through the rack-cors gem, however I am still getting the same error. (In addition, the first link also returns a 405 error.)

    ​

    Anyone have experience with this?

    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Is there any tool which supports categorization/analysis of bugs?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2019 08:58 AM PST

    I want to categories the bugs that are being reported outside of normal testing (production bugs etc.). The purpose is to find the list root cause (say, in pi chart or other visualization) and have discussion with my team mates at the end of the sprint as to what can be done to avoid these.

    Is there any tool that can help with categorization and visualization of bugs? Currently we are using Jira, can that help?
