    Is it just me or does Firebase seem super unintuitive to use?

    Posted: 24 Jun 2018 09:28 PM PDT

    I'm taking a tutorial on it for work and it just doesn't seem practical for a large application at all. Maybe for a real-time simple chat app just to store the messages or something similar, but for any kind of even slightly complex or relational data, it seems super restrictive and the querying logic gets really annoying to write when trying to grab data across multiple nodes. One solution seems to be duplicating data wherever you need to so the data doesn't get too nested, but then you have to update that data in multiple places which would become a pain to manage. SQL (and some NoSQL dbs) has none of these problems and you can cache query results somewhere if you need fast data, so I only see Firebase as a decent solution for a really small amount of use cases. But I've heard a lot of praise about it so maybe I'm missing something.

    How do you manage the new job interview process while still at your current employer?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2018 07:46 AM PDT

    The interview process has always felt a little awkward for me. I guess it's due to the fact that I'm almost forced to be dishonest with my current employer (or at the very least withhold information from them)

    Is it just me?

    I'm specifically referring to the following:

    • taking time off work to attend 1-2 hour whiteboard seesions, follow-up discussions, etc. especially if the company in question won't commit to after-hour interviews.

    • committing to deadlines/projects at work that you know you won't be able to deliver on. (because you probably won't be there for much longer)

    • spending weekends working on take-home assignments, then responding with "not much..." when colleagues ask what you got up to.

    I realise there is a lot of subjectivity involved here as it really depends on the nature of your relationship with your employer, size of the company, surrounding cultural norms, etc. I just generally have a very hard time being dishonest with people. (especially if I've established strong working relationships with them)

    Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences :)

    Should I work for free?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2018 01:08 PM PDT

    I've been a game developer for a while and trying to get into web dev. I wanted to practice and get to know some technologies related to web development and thinking about doing some work for free.

    Is it a good practice to build portfolio like that? Who should I contact and who's the best client? I was also considering working for some non-profits, is that a good idea? Who should I connect with?

    Would love your input on my Cover Letter

    Posted: 25 Jun 2018 12:30 PM PDT

    I recently updated my Cover Letter and am going to apply for a new position at a company. I'd really appreciate your opinion on these.

    Please note:

    1. English isn't my main language so there might be some grammatical issues which I would appreciate if you point out.

    2. I tried to anonymize the Cover Letter in case my current employer / colleagues might see this post, please be considerate if some personal data isn't sanitized.

    Understanding 301 redirects using htaccess and root to subfolder

    Posted: 25 Jun 2018 02:48 AM PDT

    I have a question that I've been unable to find a clear answer to online.

    Example scenario. Company has had a new website built, which exists under a subfolder. Their old website still exists in the root.

    For any pages that have an equivalent I would set up the htaccess file as follows:

    Redirect 301 /about https://companywebsite.xyz/subfolder/about-company/ Redirect 301 /business https://companywebsite.xyz/subfolder/business/ Redirect 301 /privacy https://companywebsite.xyz/subfolder/privacy-policy/

    The problem is that I can't figure out how to redirect the main index file to the subfolder using the same htaccess file. I've tried following scripts online, but it either crashes the page, or redirects every page to the subfolder which I don't want to happen. I understand the issue could lie with how I've written it, hence my question.

    To get around the issue, alongside the .htaccess file I have an index.php file with the following:

    <?php Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" ); Header( "Location: https://companywebsite.xyz/subfolder" ); ?>

    This feels like a cheat and that I'm breaking some kind of rule doing it. Is there a cleaner way just using htaccess for everything? Also is a there a recommended guide to understand how the structure of the htaccess file works?

    Thanks in advance

    What is this effect called?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2018 01:51 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I'm trying to figure out how to do something like this, I've tried to Google as best I can but I'm not coming up with anything. I'm hoping that maybe knowing what the animation is actually called, or what JS does it would make Googling a little easier.

    http://www.boalogistics.com/
    The white section with Mission, Vision and Values. When you hover on each column it does like a flipbox effect and moves the title up.

    I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me out with this.

    Where can I find a tutorial on this simple Carousel effect on McDonalds?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2018 03:41 PM PDT

    I am currently learning JS and I found this carousel effect on McDonalds which is used on many, many websites. I would like to learn how to code this from scratch with a tutorial without JQuery, or if there is a simple plugin available for it. Can anybody help me?

    What are people looking for in side projects?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2018 07:30 AM PDT

    When you list your personal projects on your resume or portfolio, what are recruiters and hiring managers specifically looking for in those projects? Firstly, I suppose most don't bother looking at your projects. But in the event that they do, here are some things that I think should be a bare minimum below. Anything else should be added to the list?

    1. Full stack and ideally related to employers stack
    2. Needs to be hosted for people to actually visit and see
    3. Needs to be responsively designed.

    How do you detect devices connected to the same Wifi, or discovered from Bluetooth using Node.js?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2018 02:50 PM PDT

    I want to create an app that checks for student attendance in a lecture/seminar/class by checking whether they are connected to the same wifi or discovereable via Bluetooth. The other easy method I can think of is come up with a passcode such that students can enter it in to prove they attended, but then they can just share it to their friends who skip class.

    Thanks a bunch!!!

    Having trouble using RECAPTCHA to validate a form that posts to an external page

    Posted: 25 Jun 2018 01:32 PM PDT

    So I'm trying to get RECAPTCHA set up on a form I have that posts to a page not on my website (ex. it looks like <form action="notme.com/form.php" method="post">)

    The problem is obviously that RECAPTCHA has to validate the form on the receiving end, and I don't have access to the receiving end.

    I don't really even know where to start to get around to solving this. I saw some people suggesting a 307 redirect, but then I read that is a bad practice.

    Wife took a bootcamp thought it was meh at best. Your thoughts?

    Posted: 25 Jun 2018 12:59 PM PDT

    Hello all,

    My fiance is in the last week of a Front End bootcamp, and I have to say I was VERY disappointed. I'm not a "developer" by trade, but have had to code for every job I've been at, and I've taken many programming classes in college. I was wondering what people's impressions of boot camps are in general.

    We paid a good amount of money, and the content was ok at best. Their course was something like this:

    Week 1: HTML

    Week 2: CSS

    Week 3: Flexbox & Bootstrap

    Week 4: JavaScript & Git

    Week 5 & 6: Angularjs & soft skills

    Week 7 & 8: Express, SQL, Heroku, Testing, More Git, softskills, prep for final projects

    Week 9 & 10: working on their final projects

    The pace of the class seemed absolutely insane. I was shocked when they dove into Node and SQL, as those are back end technologies. I was wondering what other people's experiences were if they took boot camps. The materials were pretty lack luster, they didn't spend much time on vanilla JS, and they didn't talk about algorithms, or how to properly architect an application.

    This is not my main area of work, so I wanted to see what the community thought.

    Kind regards

    Recommended Proxy with Dedicated IP

    Posted: 25 Jun 2018 12:35 PM PDT

    I have a need for a static Egress IP for whitelisting to a third party service. Unfortunately due to limitations within our cloud hosting service, this is problematic, and I'd also like to keep the code's mobility if the architecture of the service changes.

    My plan is to get a Proxy/VPN service with a dedicated IP and using Python's request module, I can specify a proxy for outgoing requests.

    1) Is there any easier or better way to do this? 2) What affordable Dedicated IP proxy services would you recommend?

    I know I can buy a dedicated IP and set up a server to handle this, but I have others in my team that aren't as capable of managing an option like that, and I'd prefer to make things simple for both myself and the rest of the team. Also, additional security is not a major factor here, so a VPN isn't a requirement, just the proxy itself. (I've looked at NordVPN, ezProxies and some AWS marketplace products)
