    My favourite instructor released a (fantastic) youtube bootcamp playlist

    Posted: 22 Feb 2021 03:44 AM PST

    I'm a big fan of Brad Schiff's teaching style. For example, he does something that I really like, that few other instructors do - he says "don't worry, I will get to this in a moment" whenever he introduces a new scary concept, and then he goes back and actually explains it. Learning from his video is chill, and fun and I can't recommend him enough.

    Recently he released a comprehensive bootcamp playlist covering: design, programming, databases, authentication (and some mentor/career advice). Hope it's OC to you guys. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpcSpRrAaOargYaCNYxZCiFIp9YTqEl-l

    Wrote a circle calendar generator in JS

    Posted: 22 Feb 2021 06:17 AM PST

    Wrote a circle calendar generator in JS

    I always imagined the year to be a circle - that's why I wrote a script that generates a circular calendar, based on some input parameters like: year, language, timezone*, direction, month to start, day on top and a freetext.

    * Outside of the circle, astronomical events like full and new moon as well as the solstices are represented. The events are positioned on the outer circle according to your individual time zone, accurate to the hour.

    Feel free to test it out: https://o-calendar.com/#create

    PS: You can also find more details about the calendar on the website

    Do I need a CMS for a small website?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2021 02:08 PM PST

    Hello all, I'm wanting to buy a domain for a joke, it will literally have no more than a heading and maybe a picture. I don't know anything about the inner workings of website security or if that would even matter in this small of a project (for lack of a better word). Can i just use HTML and CSS to make it? Would it be safe? Thank you in advance!

    P.S: I'm not hosting the site.

    where's a good place for help with firefox web extensions?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2021 02:54 PM PST

    Is it here? I'm trying to do something I thought was relatively simple with this: listen to a response, examine the data, maybe make a request, depending on the data. In a background script. I've looked at the MDN docs, did the 'your first extension' script, looked on STO, looked at examples, but can't get anywhere on this background one.
    Here's the STO post if anyone's interested and feeling helpful:

    Got a job as Front End Dev at a large company, looking for advice - both tech and generally

    Posted: 22 Feb 2021 02:54 PM PST

    Hi all, so I guess this a sort of update to this post :)

    I've managed to get a full-time job as Front End dev at a large tech company (7,000+ people), and I am really excited, also somewhat nervous. Having worked in very small firms before, I'm feeling excited about working within a large team on larger projects, but also I've read a lot of horror stories of large teams, bad management and crazy deadlines.

    A little bit about me: I am 19 and will be graduating from law school this summer, and have taught myself web development, with a focus on the front end. I've worked a couple of web dev roles, as well as doing freelance work.

    This role will mainly involve React.Js, Next.Js and GraphQL. The latter two which I will be using for pretty much the first time, and therefore I have dived into their docs and will try to do a small project to better understand them.

    While this firm seems great, and all the people I've interacted with have seemed really nice, friendly and welcoming, I would love advice from fellow developers, whatever it may be.

    10 Laws of Software Engineering That People Ignore

    Is there anyway to integrate purchasing on Amazon on an external website?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2021 02:04 PM PST

    I have an idea for a web application however it hinges on users being able to purchase items through my website that exist on Amazon. Is this possible? I can't find anything API related with Amazon that comes close to this and maybe they do this on purpose. The closest thing I can find is this but I'm not sure if it is fully reliable and scalable: https://zincapi.com/ However I haven't spoken to them yet so I may be misjudging.

    Is there any other way to make this possible? How extensive do you think it would be to build out something for this?

    Total Beginner need advice where to go

    Posted: 22 Feb 2021 01:32 PM PST

    I'm not a webdev. I have no knowledge on how to create websites.
    I know how to code in java/python. And did some basic CSS/HTML.

    I'm looking to build a simple website for the ''business'' of my friend but don't want to spend months to learn.

    I was thinking about Wix or squarespace or Wordpress. But by reading Reddit people seem to hate website like wix. Also the downside Wix seems expensive for what I actually need .

    What I want to do :
    Website is for my friend who teaches languages online
    Don't want to spend 3 months to make a website
    Website features I need :
    - just showing what he offers (Courses one on one, group courses etc.)
    - Some blog posts on the website about languages
    - the User can buy courses on the website

    Confused With The flex CSS Property

    Posted: 22 Feb 2021 01:32 PM PST

    I have worked with Flexbox before, but nothing past the basics such as align-items and justify-content.

    I want to have a deeper understanding of its details. I read about the main and cross axis and everything was going perfectly fine until I stumbled upon the flex property.

    I know that it is a shorthand property for flex-grow, flex-shrink and flex-basis, but what are those? What relationships do they have with width? Where would I use them?!

    I searched online but still couldn't figure it out. Would be happy if you help me out here.

    Get YouTube data without API?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2021 12:49 PM PST

    I hope this fits here, but if it doesn't, please let me know where a better place would be for it.

    I'm working on a c++ program that needs to check if a certain youtube channel is going live. I've been using the API up until now, but I just found out I'm limited to 10000 'points' per day (which works out to about 100 requests for my purposes). I eventually plan to make it publicly available, so it doesn't make sense to keep that limit and I don't have enough resources to buy more (I'm also not an official business so I doubt Google would accept my request either way).

    I was thinking of ways to get around this, and when I checked the channel page's source and did a ctrl+f for the title, it showed up in a huge single-lined json!

    I'm not super familiar with web stuff so I didn't look too deep into it, but would it be possible to just use this to get a. whether or not the user is live, and b. if they are live, get the URL (or video id) of that stream?

    I'm not expecting a full program or anything, but before spending too much time on it, I figured I'd see if it was possible first. If it is, could you link me to somewhere I could learn how to do it? Thanks for any help!

    Do I take the blue pill (Wordpress front-end dev) or Red Pill (React front-end dev)? 3 month goal

    Posted: 22 Feb 2021 04:06 PM PST

    Long story short I worked at a WordPress agency for 2 years from an intern who only know basic HTML and CSS to eventually becoming a 'full-stack dev' there knowing HTML, CSS, jQuery, some PHP, some WordPress, and getting competent with version control. I also took away some knowledge of performance, SEO, accessibility, and hosting. I learned very slowly over 2 years as I was literally learning so much at one time. Anyways I've moved on and want to take my career to the next level and become a somewhat modern dev.

    I'm rather clueless when it comes to vanilla JS but I'm looking to dedicate the next 4 weeks of FULL-TIME (8 hours a day, minimum) to get caught up, build a bunch of small projects, and then dedicate the next 2 months to learning React. Ideally, I want to be able to not be dependent on create-react-app and set up a React app by myself as I believe most agencies using React are not using create-react-app lol as their boilerplate lol.

    What pill should I take?

    Blue Pill:

    Focus on WordPress development. That means learning more PHP, how to create plug-ins, more emphasis on Vanilla JS and possibly picking up Vue.JS as it has an easier learning curve and works well with PHP And WordPress out of the box. 3 months may not be enough time to really do this. The goal would be to get hired at a Wordpress agency (there's lots of them) and leverage my past experience + sell myself on being able to either be a front-end dev or an okayish full-stack dev who can take a design and turn it into a functional Wordpress site by myself.

    Red Pill:

    Focus on Vanilla JS for a month (around 120 hours), jump into React by building small apps with create-react-app and gradually work my way up in complexity by building out static sites with React without using create-react-app. This would likely require me to learn a bit of Webpack as well. The goal is to get hired as a front-end React dev.

    Black Pill:

    I like the idea of Static Generated Sites and Headless CMS I would like to do a Headless Wordpress site using Frontity or Gatsby but I feel like this is beyond what I'm capable of accomplishing in 3 months with my current skill set and I am not sure if the job market even appreciates headless CMS devs yet so maybe those skills should be something I focus on later down the road once I'm hired somewhere.

    Jest & react-testing-library - add test for conditionally rendered children

    Posted: 22 Feb 2021 03:48 PM PST

    I have a component for which I have this test

    test('Some Test', () => { const { getByTestId } = render(<SomeComponent>Some String</SomeComponent>); const componentNode = getByTestId('primary'); expect(componentNode).toEqual('Some String'); }); 

    This component accepts an optional prop loading (boolean) which is by default false. When loading is true, a spinner is rendered instead of any children passed to this component.

    I want to create a test (and probably change the existing one) for when I pass the loading prop (to test that the component changes state). How can I do it the best way?

    Help understanding paypal's many seperate and incompatible API's

    Posted: 22 Feb 2021 03:43 PM PST

    I've been reading through Paypa's API documentation for a week now and have still made barely any progress. This documentation does an awful job explaining which solutions you should be using for what kind of tasks and which api's are used with which other api's.

    I was starting to go through learning the REST api and webhooks only to find out that webhooks require HTTPS which is out of the question for me right now. So I'm back to square one trying to figure out how to create orders and receive IPN messages.

    My goal / understanding of the general flow of things is as follows:

    Standard PayPal button on the page, makes a call to the server which handles the Orders API and generates the order, including: product id's, quantities, prices, etc. as well as including the intent field for separate authorization/capture and the notify_url field to set the IPN listener address. It receives back the orderId from Paypal.

    OrderId is sent back to the client, which opens the paypal window to do the transaction. If and only if they complete the transaction, we receive the IPN notification giving us all the various data we need to store. Eventually when various conditions are met, we can send a final POST to paypal telling them to capture the funds.

    I was originally trying to use Smart Buttons since they just seemed to be the generically best option for general use, but some reading around seems to indicate that they require the use of the REST API and webhooks. I'd love to be wrong about this one but I'm not sure how to implement the older API's with the smart buttons. Seems I more likely need to use a standard Buy Now button with the older style form options.

    Any help understanding the various steps in this process or any good tutorials/guides to read/watch would be greatly appreciated. The documentation is just abysmal for someone doing paypal dev for the first time.

    I'm attempting to build something like this 3d miniature creator, but I have no idea where to start. How would you do it?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2021 03:38 PM PST

    https://www.heroforge.com/

    I'd like to build something like this. I'm a developer but iv never done anything like this (which is why I want to do it)

    How would you approach building this?

    I'm guessing it would primarily use something like webgl or another graphics library but I'm not sure.

    https annoys me, pls help

    Posted: 22 Feb 2021 03:32 PM PST

    i'm a programer in my free times. since january i'm making my own among us for web browsers in plain html css and javascript, with a nodejs server, and i am running nodejs on ubuntu 20.04. my among us is not the source of my problem however.

    even tho my game is not finished, we've made some tests/play me and my friends. when we wanna play it, it goes like this : 1) i go inside the home router's settings and setup ip forwarding. 2) we play. i go to localhost and i give them my ip address and they connect to my ip address in their web browser. 3) i go inside the router's settings and stop ip forwarding when we stop playing.

    one of my objectives is that one morning i start my computer and launch my server and setup ip forwarding and all, then leave it running all day while i go to school. and at school we play my among us in diner time.

    however i do not want strangers to join our game and play with us. my plan is to setup «basic» authentification, so only us will know the valid username and password, and my server will reject everybody else with a 403 or something like that. but this alone is not enough bc they are transmited in plain text, so i also want to go https instead of http.

    bc https needs a certificate, i followed the instructions indicated here to generate a self-signed certificate : https://nodejs.org/en/knowledge/HTTP/servers/how-to-create-a-HTTPS-server/

    everything works fine. my problem is that web browsers in general will alert the user that the site is *apparently* not secure at all and will insist to not let us connect. we have to click on advenced shit and *continue to the dansgerous site* to connect. and i must do this *every time* i close chromium and launch it again to test it again.

    i do not want to prove that i'm a real trustable organization or enterprise, i just want my shits encrypted. my question is that. is there a way to just encrypt everything, without also having to prove i'm a real thrustable organization or shit?

    edit: let's encrypt don't provide certificate for public ip addresses.
