    Got hired for a good-paying developer job.. anxiety through the roof

    Posted: 18 Apr 2018 12:56 PM PDT

    So it happened. I applied and landed a good developer job, primarily back-end javascript. My anxiety has been through the roof. This is a lone-dev posiiton. I am the only one with the company that knows programming. The pay is good. The hours are good. The boss is cool as hell. I don't even need to show up, the boss allows me to work from home when I want to.

    I'm terrified of messing this up. I've been scouring through the codebase and actually found the cause of the main issue we are having. I have some ideas for potential solutions, but these solutions are well beyond my experience level (don't want to get into specifics).

    On the second day I told the boss I may not be quite at the level I need to be for the job. I explained to him the cause of the issue with the system and possible solutions, but that I wasn't experienced enough to implement these solutions. Then I told him I could link him up with another developer/team that would be able to provide the solution.

    To my surprise, he said he still wants to keep me as a dev. He wants me to handle all interactions with software companies/other devs until we get a proper solution created. He is not tech-savvy and said he doesn't want to deal with it as he's too busy with other sides of the business.

    I am so scared of messing this job up. Please any advice. This job just seems too good for me, it pays double the highest paying job I've ever had before.

    Could I get some input about dockerizing two separate applications?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2018 12:33 PM PDT

    Hi everyone,
    I tried this question over on r/docker, but got no responses, so thought I would try here.

    I have two separate applications, a frontend application, and a backend node API application.

    I'd like to dockerize these into two separate containers, and deploy them to either AWS or DO. I've already created dockerfiles for them, but not sure if they adhere to best practices, or are even correctly built (kind of new to docker).

    Here are the repos:
    https://github.com/micahchiang/blog-frontend
    https://github.com/micahchiang/node-blog-api

    I appreciate any input / help / advice!

    Thanks!

    Common practice to let a user edit their website(cms-like)

    Posted: 18 Apr 2018 02:17 AM PDT

    Hi guys, I'm preparing to rework a website for a friend. This friend has made a wix site that looks ok but I want to make something more appealing to his customers.

    However I feel like wix limits the possibilities I have to do that ALOT. And as I don't have enough experience with any cms to make a reasonable product I thought about making the complete site on my own.

    My question would be how I can make him edit the sites entries(f.e. blogposts) etc.

    Do I give him a special access over an URL with a login? How would I be able to change the html file using the browser technically?

    If I decide to use f.e. wordpress anyway, could I just create a basic html website and replace static fields with editable ones in the cms?

    Also: Time efficiency doesn't matter that much as this is supposed to be a project I will show when applying to a future job.

    Do you guys have opinions on coding bootcamps? Are they legit?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2018 03:19 PM PDT

    I'm from the states and was thinking of doing le wagon's Montreal bootcamp. If anyone's ever been, I have some questions.

    1. Did the instructors have thick french accents or was they're english easy to understand?

    2. Are you from there? If not, where did you stay during the bootcamp?

    3. What percent of your batch was from Canada? If your classmates were not from the area, where did they stay?

    4. What did the entire experience cost including lodging and food and tax?

    5. How many hours per day were you there? How many hours a week did you put into the bootcamp?

    6. What do you wish you knew before going?

    7. Would you recommend it? Thanks in advance btw!

    FreeCodeCamp or The Odin Project?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2018 09:45 AM PDT

    I know this gets asked a lot, but I haven't found any recent posts on it and since The Odin Project has cleaned up there sight a lot (since the last I saw it, a year ago), I feel it may be good since it doesn't hold your hand kind of like FreeCodeCamp. However, FreeCodeCamp does force you to make your own big projects at the end of the lessons and find your own mistakes and solutions. Maybe I'll do both eventually, but I want one that gives me a very good base understanding and will allow me to create completely on my own afterwards.

    Is there anything you can do when your cheap shared web host doesn't support your preferred language, and you don't want to re-write it or migrate?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2018 01:13 PM PDT

    I think a lot of web hosts like this fit the description, for example Namecheap will not support Python 3, Java, NodeJS, etc. But for some reason it seems like you can always count on support for PHP in a cheap web host.
    I was just wondering if there was some low pain option I just didn't know about. I looked up Python to PHP converters, and it looks like there's nothing to take too seriously right now. I like Wordpress but I don't want to spend a lot of time learning PHP.
    edit If you own multiple domains, could migration to a cheap VPS make it more obvious that the same person owns all of them, I wonder. Privacy is important.

    Laravel Help: How can I set the value of the Email input from the URL on the registration page?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2018 01:03 PM PDT

    I'm a little new with Laravel, and I'm having a hard time understanding it's Auth.. I don't understand how it requests the views, or any of that...

    Anyways, I'm wanting to set the value of the email address input (text field) from the URL. For Example:

    If the URL is...

    http://example.com/register/email@address.com 

    I would like the Email input field to automatically fill in with email@address.com.

    How can I go about doing this?

    How to authenticate users for a browser extension?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2018 12:14 PM PDT

    I'm building an extension, for now just Chrome, and like the title says I want to authenticate users to communicate with a Rails API backend to allow things like voting.

    But there's not a lot out there on this since extensions don't have sessions. launchWebAuthFlow seems to be designed to work mostly with authenticating with Google apps. I've coded out to the point where I extract the token, but I'm not sure what to do with it after.

    The first issue I have is my extension knows it got this token from Google, but how does my back end verify that? And why is it sending me the whole url if I'm just supposed to be extracting the token? It would make more sense if I sent the token to my back end which then added it to the url and then asked Google if this is what they sent to my extension.

    My other idea is to on activating the extension redirect my user to my webpage (or maybe just in the popup window) where I have the user sign up/ in and pass the extension and authorization token and then save that in extension storage. Then I use that to use with JWT.

    I'm not really familiar with JWT but launchWebAuthFlow seems to be an Oauth2 solution which is pretty complicated to set up. But maybe I can skip all that with the JWT solution.

    SSL Question

    Posted: 18 Apr 2018 12:14 PM PDT

    My company has this silly need to secure an internal site (Site A) so we built a website and purchased the appropriate site certs to secure it. We then wanted to inbed another internal site (Site B) within Site A. However, we had to apply a different wildcard certificate for site B. Management is complaining because the site shows as unsecure in browsers. I'm assuming it's never going to be secure as long as these sites use different certs? Am I correct on this?

    How to create/store and serve feed like Facebook/Instagram/Reddit/Twitter ?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2018 11:41 AM PDT

    Hi

    We are creating a Twitter like webapp and need help in creating a feed for users

    Users post stories and our system gives it attributes/ratings using emotional analysis eg { happy: 10, sad: 0, angry:7.5 }

    Other users who see these stories have the option to rate it on the same attributes eg { happy: 5, sad: 5, angry:5 } and also choose whether they liked it or not

    We are building an user's emotional profile based on the rating they give to stories they read, and likes. And on basis of stories that they post.

    - We want to recommend to users, stories based on what rating they have given to these stories.

    Eg If a user has rated a story with high 'happy' value (say happy = 10/10) then we would like to recommend them stories with high 'happy' value if the user has liked it or low 'happy' if the user has disliked.

    I think an example would help in making things much clearer:

    UserA creates a story and our system gives it a rating of { happy:10, sad:1, angry:7 }.

    We want to recommend more stories like these to UserA because this tells the current mood of the user.

    UserB who reads it gives it a like and { happy:8, sad:1, angry:6 }. We want to show more stories like these to UserB

    UserC who reads it gives it a dislike and { happy:8, sad:1, angry:6 }. Less stories like this

    UserD who reads it gives it a like and { happy:1, sad:9, angry:2 }. More stories like this

    UserE who reads it gives it a dislike and { happy:1, sad:9, angry:2 }. Less stories like this

    If both UserX and UserY have given similar ratings to the stories and either both like or both dislike them, then we want to show them stories that the other has liked.

    We are using a hybrid of content and collaborative filtering for the recommendations

    How do I generate the feed for each user dynamically ?

    How do I store this ?

    Should we run the recommendation generating function periodically and store the result OR

    whenever a user wants to see their feed ?
