    Why has Google moved from maps.google.com to google.com/maps ?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 03:07 AM PST

    Title says it all. Seems maps.google.com is redirecting to google.com/maps. What possible reason could there be? I thought of a few but it seems an odd move, do you think other services will move, google.com/gmail for example?

    The Problem with Percentiles – Aggregation brings Aggravation

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 07:15 AM PST

    Hey folks, I wrote up a piece on an ongoing issue I see with percentiles being used systems monitoring. Basically, don't ever average or aggregate percentiles, they are outputs for analysis, not inputs. Every so often I'll see comments on Hacker News (or here on Reddit) saying that there are certain conditions where you can average percentiles and get statistically correct results, so I presented a couple of scenarios that I hope clears up still why you shouldn't do that.

    CSS Styling question, custom arrows! Weird background.

    Hey guys, I have another question for you. Thanks in advance for your time!

    I am trying to create custom styled arrow buttons, and I want to remove a weird white background I am getting. I have attached screenshots of what they currently look like, my html behind it, and the CSS I am using.

    I would like help to remove the weird white background if I can!

    News homepage design overview

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 09:15 AM PST

    I own the domain of an old web design firm and I really want to contact the owner but not having much luck finding any information. Shot in the dark.

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 03:47 PM PST

    This is a huge shot in the dark but one of the earliest websites I remember visiting in the late 90's was a web design company called ADesignAbove.com (Archive.org link, very beautiful 90's aesthetic.)

    I'm not really sure why I visited this sight so much, I was pretty into web design as a child and I also believe there was a fairly active chat room somewhere on this site. But anyway, I did actually grow up to be an app/web developer and also I now own the domain adesignabove.com (currently blank website so hopefully not a rule violation.)

    So I want to basically turn this into a portfolio website and I want to leave the silly 90's design on the homepage. I want to get in contact with the original owner and get permission to use the graphics that are there currently.

    I'm not having any luck figuring out who might be behind this company. Anyone have any ideas or know anything and would be willing to help me out?

    Thanks, and at the very least I hope you enjoy the old timey webpage.

    Basic Website as Learning Experience

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 06:36 AM PST

    Hi All,

    My father has a new business idea (high quality car ports/sheds) and wants me to build a website for it. He's not at all computer literate so all design/building/upkeep will be in my hands.

    While I know that a site like this would be fairly simple to copy from a template and re-design, I would like to use this as a chance to dedicate some time to front end development, so would like some advice around what the best methods for a website such as this are, particularly regarding responsiveness and design practices (I have some very basic experience with CSS/Bootstrap)

    I know this is a bit bare but I can of course answer any questions based on it.

    Many thanks!

    Best object storage provider for actively accessed, small-ish photos?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 02:19 PM PST

    I am building a real estate app and I need to choose an object storage to host about 250GB of photos which will be actively accessed. The photos are typically 50KB in size.

    Clarifying further - I am not actually storing a lot of data (no more than 500GB), but the stored data will be actively accessed and requires fast download times (preferably no more than 300ms).

    I am currently using DigitalOcean for my VPN. They have an object storage service called Spaces but it seems that there are performance issues; retrieving small objects can be randomly slow (3-4 seconds).

    I need a service provider who can provide consistently fast load times for these photos. I know that Amazon S3 is sort of the gold standard, but it seems like their prices are a bit high.

    What are some other providers I should know about? I'm leaning towards using BackBlaze B2 since they are more affordable and performance seems good.

    Presentation website for enhancing my CV

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 02:12 PM PST

    Hi there, for improving my chances for the next job interview I'd like to build a tiny homepage to present some of my projects (soft- and hardware ones, but also contest and talks I gave on conferences). Can anyone suggest any tool / library / services which does kind of all that for me?

    My background is backend development mostly with python. I was thinking to build something myself with django / flask and a bootstrap because I also like being the admin of a vm, having everything 100% under control, you know? But this seems to be a huge overhead and I need to be honest to my self: I sadly do no longer have the time to build this on my own.

    Can you recommend anything?

    Charging a client a retainer?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 01:52 PM PST

    Has any developer out there charged their clients a retainer? Just curious if that is a common practice or not.

    If you have, could you go into a bit of detail on what that involved.

    Sporadic PHP Index Error

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 12:05 PM PST

    Ok so I am not really sure where to start with this issue. We are working with an app developer and the most recent build are tossing an error in the logs and so far the developers have been unable to pin this done as it's not happening all the time for them.

    I can get it to happen each time I go to run the submission process in the app (prior to last week it worked).

    This is the snippet of the log file that has been happening each and every time I get a failure in the app.

    [2018-11-05 13:22:37] local.ERROR: Undefined index: requestprovidesignature {"exception":"[object] (ErrorException(code: 0): Undefined index: requestprovidesignature at C:\\wamp\\www\\brew\\app\\Http\\Controllers\\ProductController.php:457)

    and this is the line in the config file that it makes reference to.

    file_put_contents('rsign.txt', $credentials['requestprovidesignature'].PHP_EOL , FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);

    Now I am not a developer but I am able to make small modifications to code just fine. I am willing to give some suggestions a shot and get past this issue with this once and for all.

    Any help or suggestions.

    Dynamically Rendering SVG Text - Alternative Solutions?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 11:26 AM PST

    So I got a feature of my project app completed only to find that it doesn't work as expected in Chrome. The page in question features average ratings of a restaurant - it's a simple React component that dynamically changes based on what rating the restaurant has. I'm using two different SVG Clip Paths - one for the surrounding "mickey" and one for the rating. It works perfectly in Firefox, but in Chrome, only the background images update, while the SVG Text, despite taking its value from state, stays the same. See the Gifs below for the behaviors.

    Not Working (Chrome) - https://imgur.com/z8Yej13

    Working (Firefox) - https://imgur.com/qRLov7d

    Since my approach doesn't seem to be working for me on Chrome, I'm wondering if there's another way that I can achieve this effect.

    Could you help me understand canonical URLs?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2018 11:20 PM PST

    I guess it is a basic SEO question but I am unable to get my head around it. As per my understanding, if two or more links are pointing to the same content, we should use the canonical tag. However, the thing I am unable to understand is whether we should use the canonical tag with the main URL as well.

    Example: I have two links A and B pointing to the same content. A is the main link (blog article you can say), B is the secondary link (blog article under certain category). Now where should I use the canonical tags? Option: 1) A and B both Option: 2) Only in B. B being the secondary URL.

    Blog is just an example. The concept is applicable in many other use cases. I guess you get the idea. Any help is appreciated. Thank you for your time.

    Beginner Git Confusion

    Posted: 05 Nov 2018 11:00 AM PST

    Hi All,

    I am working on a project and using git for the first time. I cloned the master to my local and did a bunch of stuff, as did another developer.

    This developer has since told me that he has commit his changes to the master. I am ready to commit my changes, do i stage and commit my changes, then pull remote changes and "merge" if needed? Im assuming merge happens if there are conflicts that need to be resolved?

    Sorry i went through documentation here: https://gist.github.com/blackfalcon/8428401 but i just want to be certain that i dont mess anything up
