    LPT: do a Google images search on any logos or similar work you outsource

    Posted: 17 Oct 2018 10:24 PM PDT

    A few weeks ago I received a very angry email from a company claiming we had stolen their logo. I checked their site and sure enough it was using exactly the same logo and had been for at least 3 years longer than we had from my 5 minutes of sleuthing.

    In 2016 we outsourced a bunch of work to a graphic designer including logo design, which was clearly stolen. I explained this to the other company along with a promise that we'd replace the logo within a week or so and they were very understanding.

    On the plus side our now in house graphic designer did an amazing job with the new logo and everyone loves it, but this could have all been avoided if we'd run an image search on the logo when we received it which immediately takes you to the other company's website

    Do you have passion?

    Posted: 18 Oct 2018 11:56 AM PDT

    An interviewer once told me that I wasn't good enough for the job because I didn't show him "enough passion".

    He expected to see active personal projects on my GitHub page.

    I explained that I don't work for free, and all the projects I've been working on was for paying customers - thus not available for showing up.

    What's your opinion about having "personal projects" for free, just for showing your "passion" in cases like that?

    Is it difficult to move into a management role? Would I need PM training to do it?

    Posted: 18 Oct 2018 12:02 PM PDT

    I'm just starting as a front-end dev. But a few years down the line when I'm more experienced I can see myself wanting to move into management, especially project management of a web/software team. Can this be done without PM degrees/training? Or are there certificates that I should work to get? I live in Canada.

    Some people love the coding aspect. But I know I would feel more happy in a role where I'm doing a lot different things, so project management becomes appealing.

    How to build a browser game?

    Posted: 18 Oct 2018 01:15 PM PDT

    Hey folks,

    I want to create a browsergame I have a clear vision of it so far (also written down) but I want to care about the tech first and get it done right.

    So far i know HTML, CSS and the basics of JS and mySQL.

    It should contain some graphics, not much - but I think more of a simulation/text adventure/statistics game.

    No 3D graphics and it should run on mobile browsers also.

    Maybe you guys can point me in the right direction somehow?

    Signed Javascript using DNS record - would that work?

    Posted: 18 Oct 2018 11:36 AM PDT

    So, I've been thinking about a web application where a lot of client side encryption is involved and realized that we still can't do this without trusting the server.

    We've got CSP, which makes XSS hard, we also got subresource integrity, so we can ensure that client code of different origin wasn't tampered. All of this is fine, but assumes trusting the server.

    Once the server (or our hosted application) is compromised, all bets are off and client code might be modified without anyone noticing.

    So I've been thinking if this is something browsers could solve. Here's an idea:

    1. Programmer generates key pair and stores public key in a TXT record of application domain; this record also says to browsers that signed Javascript policy is active (and no unsigned, cross origin or inline Javascript is allowed),
    2. a signature (using generated private key) will be appended to every Javascript source file,
    3. those files (already signed) will be deployed to the server.

    This makes impossible for an attacker to tamper client code and execute anything not signed using developer's private key (which, obviously, must not be stored on server) without modifying DNS records. Browser would check the source file signature and if validation fails, nothing would be executed (and incident would be reported using CSP report-uri).

    This, by itself, is clearly not suitable for large scale use (since many applications use CDN, for instance), but for client side encryption apps (like password manager web interface), this would do it.

    So, question is, am I fundamentally wrong? Is there something I've completely forgot about?

    I also wonder how, for instance, 1Password web interface is secure once their servers get compromised.

    Thank you for feedback.

    Beginner learning front-end looking for a bit of direction

    Posted: 18 Oct 2018 09:58 AM PDT

    Hey guys. So I am mostly interested in front end web development, at least as far as I can tell up to this point. I am interested in making reactive and stylish web applications but doing so by actually learning the fundamentals behind what I'm doing and not just trying to jump into the field by learning some design tools (I commend those of you who just did this and learned from there I don't mean to talk down on anyone, I basically mean that I care a lot about design but I'm beginning from a html, css, and general computer science background)

    I've been learning html + css through code academy. I have finished the tutorials but as many have found I am not ready to make a website. Before I continue with more learning I'm going to make some really basic things just so I can get my hands on the material better.

    TL;DR my main question: https://www.theodinproject.com/ would this course be a good idea. There is also a udemy web-dev bootcamp. Odin says it is full stack which doesn't bother me, I assume it isn't so heavy on the back end/I will need to learn a decent amount about back end development to be a good front end developer?

    I noticed that it teaches ruby. I was wondering if js frameworks are used in place of ruby on rails or if the things are related because I know I have read in many places I should work towards a js framework as my first

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    How to make a PNG or JPEG image move across the screen?

    Posted: 18 Oct 2018 03:24 PM PDT

    Hello, I am not sure if I am in the right place to be posting this question, but here it goes.

    I am designing a website for my sisters work, and I am 99% finished with it besides one last thing they want to add. This is going to be specifically for a Halloween even they are having. They want an image of a ghost sort of "wandering aimlessly" around the screen. It doesn't have to be super random, but if I could just have it float back and forth across the screen, that would be perfect.

    I tried using a marquee function to have it scroll side to side, but I do not know how to marquee an image? So far, I have this:

    ​

    <div id="animate"> <img src="https://services-media.propertylogic.net/blog/1491923501/ghost-03_jpg.png" width="100" height="200"> </div> #animate{ animate-direction: normal; }

    I honestly do not know if putting the image in a <div> is correct. I just want the image to also do this infinitely and upon web page load.

    Bootstrap 4 modal size

    Posted: 18 Oct 2018 03:02 PM PDT

    Hey guys, I'm using a the Bootstrap 4 modal for a payment successful message, the one that is vertically centered. Currently, I have it as a square, setting the width and height to 200x200.

    If there is an error processing the payment, the error messages can be a lot longer than "Payment Successful", so I need a way to increase the modal width / height based on the size of the error message (which can vary). Currently, it just stays 200x200 and wraps the text (this is expected). If I remove the width: 200px and height: 200px it defaults to being much more wide the tall. I'm not familiar with Bootstrap 4, so if anyone could help me out with this, I'd greatly appreciate it!

    Removing a Youtube title from an embedded video on website.

    Posted: 18 Oct 2018 08:29 AM PDT

    Hey everyone!

    I'm a novice at web development, and I'm having some issues with a video that I have playing in the background of a website. I am using Wordpress and Elementor to edit.

    ​

    I have some stock footage from Youtube overlaid on the homepage of a website. When you hover over the video, the title of the Youtube video shows in the top left corner, and allows you to click it to go to the video on Youtube (which also stops the video from playing).

    ​

    Is there any way to remove this title? I never noticed it before today, and I've spent a fair amount of time working on the website. Is there something that occurred that would cause this title to show? I've done a bit of Googling, but have only found out how to remove the title from an embedded Youtube link, like one in a blog post, not one that is embedded with Elementor. I can provide links if necessary.

    ​

    Thanks!

    wildcard redirect struggle

    Posted: 18 Oct 2018 01:58 PM PDT

    Trying to redirect this URL with a query string from old site:

    http://www.brycs.org/clearinghouse/clearinghouse-resource.cfm?docnum=4148

    to this URL without a query string on new site:

    https://brycs.org/clearinghouse/4148

    ...where "4148" is a variable (there are 7000+ of those clearinghouse posts, each with a 4-digit ID). After trying many different things and referencing a ton of online resources, I came up with this:

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/clearinghouse/clearinghouse-resource\.cfm$ RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^docnum=([0-9]*)$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://brycs.org/clearinghouse/%1 [L,R=301]

    ...which works almost perfectly except it tacks the query string on the end again, resulting in a URL like this:

    https://brycs.org/clearinghouse/4148/?docnum=4148

    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance; I am super flustered at this point.

    [CODE HELP] Trying to create a code markup displaying line numbers

    Posted: 18 Oct 2018 01:54 PM PDT

    I'm trying to create a code markup that allows me to post code to my website, but I'm finding it difficult to add a line number before every line without using a lot of markup. I currently use <p id="code"> where my #code tag is styled with the following: 

    #code { padding:calc(-10px) calc(2px) calc(20px) calc(15px) !important; border-radius:calc(0.16%); border-top: 1px dotted grey; border-left: 2px double #778899; border-right: 1px outset #FAE0D7; border-bottom: 1px dotted grey; border-style:calc(1px) inset; color: black; background: #f0f0f5; font-family: "Courier New", Terminal, sans-serif; font-size: calc(94%); font-weight: bold; white-space: pre-line; counter-increment: line; }

    I keep the white-space on my text so it shows up on my page as looking like the syntax from any IDE, but I have no idea on how to generate a line number to this. 

    counter-increment: line;

    This only displays a 1, then the renaiming code is just display one line after each other. Anybody have any good suggestions on how this could be fixed.

    DNS propagation issue

    Posted: 18 Oct 2018 01:40 PM PDT

    Hi all,

    A beginner with a problem here. I'm kind of at my wits end. I recently started a freelance business and for it I need to have a website up. My background is life science, so developing a website from scratch was not a possibility. Neither was paying someone for this since I'm on a very limited budget. I ended up using wix.com and put together something nice. I bought a domain through godaddy, bought an upgrade on wix that would allow me to connect my site with the domain, and I decided to go with 'pointing' as a connection type. However, it's been around 36 hours and my website is still not up (ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT if I access it through Chrome; ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED if my wife accesses the same address on her phone), or 'still verifying your domain connection' on wix. I've been using https://www.whatsmydns.net/ to check the DNS propagation for both A (TTL at 1 hour) and CNAME (TTL at 1 day), and there's been no progress. I don't know if it's relevant, but for most of the 36 hours, the A TTL was set at 600 seconds and the CNAME TTL at 1 hour.

    I'm hoping someone has time to help me. Is there anything I can do to speed up the connection of my wix site to my goddady-provided domain? Thank you for reading this!

    NodeJS game update

    Posted: 18 Oct 2018 12:13 PM PDT

    Hey everyone so I'm fixed some more bugs at my first NodeJS game and I again hosted it on Heroku: https://mystery-of-dungeons.herokuapp.com/

    ​

    What I'm planing to do is change template to modern style like to jump out of classic and make every part of the website including characters more modern. What do you think ? Or should I leave it like more classic version ? Also if right now the game will be not so bugged I'm planing to extend game with guilds, trades etc.

    ​

    BTW Every feedback is appreciated. Every bug typed in here is really appreciated!
