    Well it finally happened...

    Posted: 26 Feb 2019 05:55 AM PST

    Throwaway for obvious reasons.

    After months of warnings and badgering my old employers dedicated server has been finally been hacked to shit. It's an anicent box running PHP5.3, Centos 6 and some very ancient versions of WordPress so it was bound to happen at some point.

    There are some backups but running them through a malware scan it looks like they have also been ripped apart long ago and all sorts of dodgy shit injected into random places.

    I made Git backups of stuff when it went live but this didn't usually include the database so if they've gotten to those then it's full rebuild time.

    He doesn't even have a proper full time employee who he can ask to act on this stuff, just a selection of freelancers who want nothing to do with it all because they didn't build it.

    Remember kids, update your stack and keep your devs happy or it'll kick you where it hurts.

    Experimenting with first-party ads

    Posted: 26 Feb 2019 01:33 PM PST

    I just launched "Ethical Ads" on my site (https://routinehub.co/advertising), and I'm interested to see how it goes.

    I'm really not comfortable with letting 3rd-party advertisers on my site tracking my users. I think it's creepy and unfair to the users. Unfortunately there aren't any ethical 3rd-party advertising networks out there yet. So I decided to build my own.

    Here are my guidelines: * No tracking users * No selling user data. * No profile building to target ads. * Only keep track of views and clicks. * Host everything ourselves. No third-party images or scripts. * Donate 10% of all ad revenue to open-source projects I use for the site.

    Has anybody out there chosen this path? Any advice or recommendations?

    What languages to use for backend?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2019 12:29 PM PST

    Total noob question here (sorry if against rules), but what language itś better to use nowadays? For the frontend the awnser HTML/CSS/JS, but for the back-end no one gives a straight awnser.

    For context, I'm making a Mail/Chat Platform using PHP and MySQL on the backend using other software to do Mail Transfer but everyone says PHP inst worth it anymore.

    Should I upgrade to Python, Node.JS and other newer languages or is PHP still a good option for now?

    Is this enough for a junior web dev role?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2019 10:23 AM PST

    Hey all I have a question, if I learn node.js basics, npm and express, is that solid knowledge for backend with JS? Of course I'll learn more overtime, talking for a junior web dev role, I am learning JavaScript, HTML, CSS, react, mongo and Ajax for front end. Does that sound like a solid education set up for a junior web dev role? Thanks!

    My JavaScript is always too wordy. How can I dry it up?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2019 08:34 AM PST

    Until recently I've done a lot of my JavaScript work with jQuery, but I'm trying to use more vanilla JS.

    Here's an example of something I was trying to do recently: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/OqPpbz?editors=0010

    It works but it seems way too verbose. What am I missing? What could I be doing better to clean up my code?

    How to fix CORS issue with React/Rails 5

    Posted: 26 Feb 2019 03:58 PM PST

    headers: {

    'Accept': 'application/json; charset=utf-8;',

    'Content-Type': 'application/json',

    'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',

    'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': '*',

    'Access-Control-Allow-Headers': '*'

    }

    I'm trying to access the Behance API, I have the API keys and the above headers, and am still running into a CORS issue.

    I can go to the url and see the JSON, so I know it's not Behance. Please tell me how do I fix this?

    All of the online answers just tell me to include in the headers what I already have, and it's not working (not a surprise....)

    ​

    Please SOS

    Some career advises

    Posted: 26 Feb 2019 03:53 PM PST

    "I was asking around the local business and they do not seem to be interested in investing for a website. At first I thought i was doing something wrong but i met up with some other developers with a CS degree here, and they explained that (its a long story related to some business practices, policies, and laws) in my city (and possibly outside my city) websites are not "that much" profitable for business owners to feel interested "yet" but the developers also assured me that things will change in the future for sure just not confirmed when. (Those developers are working in industries outside web development in case you are wondering because they felt that is better for themselves). This was pretty discouraging for me…So in case I have learnt web development pretty well and other things like internet marketing to help my clients, but by then my cities business situation do not improve will I be able to work for people outside of my city or country?" I am still new to this so need some advise on how the career here works and what I can work on to improve my chances to find a job stationed outside my country in case I have to.

    WSL + yarn slate = browsersync no bueno?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2019 03:38 PM PST

    Does browsersync/watch work for anyone? Seems like it isn't triggering the -watch to compile on the fly and update the browser window.

    tldr: WSL < $ | slate theme && ./results === no bueno

    ​

    ​

    Thanks again to everyone who replied about my switch to a Win10 env. Now that I have WSL and Ubuntu running in whatever shell it is. It took awhile to get used to where the environment is keeping the files to view in File Explorer, but it seems to work pretty well. Strange how the files for Ubuntu are wildly buried in hidden folders though.

    CMS to native mobile apps

    Posted: 26 Feb 2019 03:00 PM PST

    Hello, guys! I am search for opinions about using CMS vs code by myself. Do you guys think that worth use CMS to create simple things or should I go to web/hybrid apps if that is the case? Those CMS have some performance problem or bugs?

    How does Amazon Chime launch a process from the browser?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2019 02:51 PM PST

    Chime is Amazon's conferencing tool. I have their desktop client installed, but not running. Somehow browsing to the chime site with my meeting ID spawns the full-featured desktop client and opens my meeting. This is in Chrome on Windows 10. I don't have a chrome extension installed, nor any Amazon service or application running beforehand that I can see. My best guess is an NPAPI plugin that Google has whitelisted.

    Is my task related to using a fuzzer to test the flow of a web app practical?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2019 01:57 PM PST

    The client I'm working for has a web project that allows creating multi-step interactive flows to capture and compile input collected from users.

    My task is to write a "fuzzer" that automatically tests the frontend UI generated by the flow created by an "administrator" of this web app, using randomized input data to check for the presence of errors or places where a user wouldn't be able to advance. The administrator is assumed to not be technically-savvy, therefore they won't be writing their own tests for their UI. This is why something that can randomly test the frontend for unforeseen errors would be useful.

    I have some problems with this task:

    • I've never written or used such a tool before, so I have absolutely no experience. I don't feel like I'm the right person for this task, but I'm the only person for this task at the moment.
    • There aren't any existing general-purpose examples of such a tool that I can find. The closest I've been able to find are fuzzers that are designed to reveal vulnerabilities and crashes in software, but as far as I can tell they aren't build to be testing a specific web application for errors. If they can do this, then I'm completely in over my head since I can't seem to find any reference towards how they can accomplish this task.
    • Part of the requirements for this "fuzzer" is that it should run at every step when a person is building a flow. The existing web app isn't very fast(no, I didn't write it), so I feel like this would be very slow and could choke a shared instance of the application if enough people are working on flows at once. Either the fuzzer would have to run in an iframe in an administrator's browser, or it would have to run in headless Chrome, but either way it would still seem inefficient to be constantly running it. I've suggested that such a tool might have to run when an administrator manually clicks "Save", but this doesn't seem satisfactory. The goal is to reveal potential problems to the administrator in advance. These "flows" can be very complicated, so I'm imaginging a really inefficient situation of always running tests through each possibility of a flow. I don't foresee this as something that will complete in a few seconds.
    • The software I'd be writing this fuzzer for is a monolith written by someone else in a language I'm not sharp in(Python). I'm almost certain that I'm going to have to spend time digging deep into this codebase to patch potential issues caused by testing the autogenerated frontend UI over and over again. Even if I were to attempt to build a "headless" form of fuzzy testing, I foresee a lot of effort being expended into rearchitecting how this software works just for that feature.
    • Whether I end up building a fuzzer from scratch or shoehorning in a fuzzer designed for security issues, this feels like a monumental task to me. In the former, I would basically be one man writing an automated testing framework; it's a fascinating task to me, but it's not going to take me just a few weeks to get it working and stable. In the latter case, I have next to no confidence that I could get it to work without it being a real piece of junk.

    My questions:

    Is there an existing solution to this problem that I'm simply not finding when I'm performing a Google search?

    Let's say I end up having to write something from scratch: Am I right in thinking that this is going to be a very long-term task? In my experience, I've seen other people spends months or years on less complex projects.

    As someone who isn't afraid of challenges, I haven't felt this stupid in a while. I'm looking for either a sanity check or suggestions on how to move forward with the task.

    [Serious] What are the pros/cons for working at a digital agency?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2019 10:02 AM PST

    I've never worked full time at a digital agency before. It was all short term/freelance work while working on a single project. From what I've mostly read online, working at a digital agency full time as a developer is a complete circus act. Basically a shit show. But again this is all anecdotal.

    For those have worked full time at a digital agency for more than a year as a developer, can you list 5 PROS & CONS about your experience.

    Serious answers only please. Thanks

    Is anyone aware of a repository/website that lists integrated examples of common programming patterns?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2019 03:47 AM PST

    As in, if I were interested in the service pattern, I could view examples of other projects that have integrated it.
