    GitHub - ecthros/uncaptcha2: defeating the latest version of ReCaptcha with 91% accuracy

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 01:43 PM PST

    Got a difficult client, need advice.

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 11:15 AM PST

    I just picked up a client who wanted a website from scratch. I designed it, set it up on staging. I asked multiple times how they felt about the design and I got mostly affirmative responses with some minor changes. Did the minor changes and now they're coming back to me saying that one of the guys has a sketch of a redesign he wants to do.

    I got a deposit from them and they're dropping this on me just now. How do I charge them for a new design and all that? This is just really frustrating.

    [Showoff Saturday] Developer job board

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 08:55 AM PST

    Website: https://devsnap.io

    I created this cause I couldn't find a nice job board just for developers, that also had a sufficient amount of jobs. The problem I have with general job boards is, that I have to use a lot of different searches "Software Developer", "Software Engineer", "Programmer" to really get a somewhat full picture of all the jobs there are on that site. So I created this, which aggregates them from a lot of different sources. Some of higher quality and some of lower.

    Other than that I wanted to learn some new hot stuff. So I created the service with GraphQL and Go, used GCloud AppEngines, Functions, Cloud SQL and CDN.

    Another goal was to make that site as fast as possible. Job boards, or rather most sites these days suck, cause they're so damn slow. Especially for someone like me, living in the country site with a puny internet connection.

    Building A Simple Minimal Blogging Platform

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 01:24 PM PST

    Seeking a little marketing advice...

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 03:35 PM PST

    Been a freelance web developer for a couple years now and think it's time to expand my client base. I have a body of work which caters to non-profits and individuals, but I'd like to begin advertising to small businesses.

    Until this point, I've found clients/contracts by word-of-mouth, but I'd like to get a DBA, print some business cards, and build a site advertising my services.

    I'm having trouble coming up with a business name, and I have zero logo design / branding experience.

    What's a reasonable price to pay for a decent marketing package for a small business? (USA-based, if it matters)

    How Not to Use CAPTCHAs on Your Forms

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 06:17 AM PST

    What kind of projects should I do so I can be most prepared for a career?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 03:09 PM PST

    I have skills in HTML/CSS, Java, JavaScript, Objective-C, Python, Swift, Bootstrap, Express.js, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Command Line, DOM, Git, Mongoose, Node.js, Pandas, React.js, Socket.io.

    Some projects I've done include some Java stuff, a website I built with Node/Express/Bootstrap/Passport, a database model, an iOS game, and some more small Javascript sites I built.

    I'm just looking to create something that caters towards my progression. Should I try something in Python? MEAN? Build a large scale React/Redux app? Idk, I want to do something but I'm not sure what technologies I should use. (If I were to get a job, I'd want to do something in the entertainment industry, preferably in music)

    Coding interview questions for front-end dev will be on “problem solving?” What can I expect?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 09:58 AM PST

    I've got an on-site interview for a front-end dev role coming up (never had one before) at a startup.

    I asked what technical topics will be covered and named a few libraries and tools and mentioned algorithms and systems design too.

    I was told the interview will focus on "problem solving, with some front-end specific topics around JS and CSS. They also mentioned there will be some white boarding and coding on a computer.

    The front-end questions part I understand, but what do "problem-solving" questions entail? That's super non-specific! What kind of problems?

    What can I expect?

    Question on how to populate my backend with data.

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 02:36 PM PST

    Hi, I've made a couple nodejs apps but it always feels so boring to see that no change is occuring in my front end application because my backend has barely any data. Is there anywhere I can get good data to populate my database without spending time making new entries continuously? Or how do you guys deal with creating backends when you have no data?

    Wordpress: How to Disable Gutenberg without Plugin

    Are there laws or rules on citing sources from other websites?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 12:44 PM PST

    I'm currently creating a travel guide website for my portfolio. Some of the descriptions on it are from Wikipedia and travel articles. Is it ok to use them and just cite them at the end of the page? Is there a correct way to do it?

    Which blogging platform should I use for technical write-ups with media embedded in them?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 04:17 PM PST

    I occasionally post programming related technical write-ups and vulnerability disclosures to my professional blog (has my real name on it).

    I am looking for a blogging platform (self-hosted or cloud-based are both fine) that allows me to embed a small HTML/JS audio player into the page for a post I'm in the process of writing. The post is about manipulating audio data, so I want to have short example clips that the reader can play embedded in the page.

    For an example of what I'm looking for, see this page: http://opus-codec.org/examples/ this isn't a blog, but this is the sort of look I'm going for.

    I'm sure Wordpress would work for this, but I'd rather not have to maintain a Wordpress installation. I am currently using Tumblr for my blog, but that does not support what I am trying to do here. I also checked Medium, and that will not work for this either.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Difficulty of career change into web dev

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 12:18 PM PST

    I read here on reddit that for junior dev positions, you're frequently going to get ignored. I think the poster said like 1/100 resume submission leads to a phone screen or something crazy like thatIs that true? How hard is the move in general?

    [Showoff Saturday] Pixel Creatures - Something I did do show some of my skills and hopefully turned out as a fun little thing

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 10:01 AM PST

    Hello all! I've been working on a small personal project which was mainly a kind of way to show some of my programming/design skills, but it ended evolving into a fun little collaborative web app.

    It's basically a page where you can draw pixelated characters, and then it retrieves all of these stored characters and combines their parts to create funny results. If anyone feels like, I'd be super grateful to anyone that visits it and gives any feedback, finds any error/bugs, has any suggestions... Also feel free to register and draw some creatures, if you want!

    This is the link: https://thebob.com.br/pixels/

    Or to go directly to the combine page, which doesn't require login: https://thebob.com.br/pixels/view.php

    [Showoff Saturday] My first project

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 01:59 AM PST

    I started learning web dev some two weeks back. Today I made my first project using HTML, CSS and JS. It is basically a pixel art maker as I thought it was good for a beginner like me.

    Feedback is most welcome.

    Question about new site

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 02:18 PM PST

    I am in no way an experienced web designer or developer. I recently bought a domain off godaddy and began to design my site using their basic website builder. My goal is to create a crowdsourced website with forums, and lots of other content revolving around live music, concerts, and venues in my home town... a one stop shop for concerts. How do you suggest I start with this? The website builder doesn't seem to be a program I can do this on. Should I hire someone to get my site running? My partner and I have the money to hire someone to do this, but I don't know where to find someone experienced enough to fulfill our vision. Looking for overall suggestions and help.

    the divs insdie css grid do not not grow with their content

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 09:12 AM PST

    the divs insdie css grid do not not grow with their content

    so I set up css grid like this

    #parentDiv { display: grid; grid-template-row: 25% 25% 25% 25%; grid-template-column: 25% 25% 25% 25% }

    (red background is parent div and blue background is child div)

    and I have multiple child divs with spans inside that have text, but the problem is that the spans in the child divs overflow past the boundaries of the child div, how do i get the child div to expand with the content inside it

    [Showoff Saturday] Static Site Boilerplate - A better workflow for building modern static websites

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 12:19 PM PST

    Website: http://staticsiteboilerplate.com

    There are countless great tools to build static websites these days. I'm personally a huge fan of tools like Gatsby and Hugo. However, I've found that (and for many developers I know) when coding static websites I mainly want to have a clean development environment where I can jump right into writing unimpeded HTML/CSS/JavaScript. With tools such as Gatsby, I often find myself wading through their documentation and trying to work with their plugins, workflows and other proprietary features to get fairly straightforward tasks accomplished.

    I designed Static Site Boilerplate to take care of the necessary tasks and generate all of the features a production-ready static website needs (which would take around a dozen Gatsby plugins to do for example) while allowing a workflow of writing pure frontend code.
