    Recruiters: please stop putting me through tests for skills I don't have.

    Posted: 15 Mar 2019 05:31 PM PDT

    It's been 3 times now in the last month where a recruiter has lined up interviews for roles where I don't have the skills the employer is looking for. 2 of these interviews required me to do tests, both of which I failed (one was with React, the other with Symphony both of which I made clear in my CV and to the recruiter that I don't have the skills).

    I don't get why recruiters do this - surely it's a lose/lose for everyone. The employers have wasted their time at the interview, it makes the recruiter look ineffective at their job of filtering candidates and it makes me look bad to the employer which possibly limits my chances of getting work with them in the future if I were to eventually learn the skills they need.

    If I say I have not worked with React but am keen to learn it means exactly that. I cannot build a react component in a 30 minute on-the-spot test.

    MySigMail - Open source UI email signature generator

    ​

    https://i.redd.it/ye7rq040fim21.png

    ​

    Propos

    Creating an email signature is not a trivial task, even for people who have knowledge of HTML and CSS. And what about ordinary users.

    There are many solutions on the Internet, and most of them are paid. There are free, but all of them are closed source. I wanted to make a free application with a user-friendly interface and open source code.

    So let's make creating email signatures easier!

    Stack:

    • Vue
    • Vuex
    • Vue-router
    • IndexedDB

    Would you think this is a scam?

    Posted: 16 Mar 2019 09:11 AM PDT

    So hello everyone,

    I wanted to buy a domainname. I found this local place near where you can 'register' domainnames for just 1 euro for the first year. I thought 'hey that's a good deal, let's do it.'

    ​

    That was until.. I 'registered' it and paid the 1 euro. What I actually paid for was literally only the domainname. There is no option to link it to my site. In order to do that, you need to pay for an extra plan 'DNS/redirect-service'. I felt misleaded when I saw that, since what I just bought is useless.

    ​

    What do you think about this? Would you say it's a scam or am I just dumb and is the normal way how this works?

    How to find your niche?

    Posted: 16 Mar 2019 03:57 PM PDT

    To start off a little bit about me. I graduated from technical school in 2016. I went for building and tuning high performance vehicles because fast cars have always been my passion. Not surprisingly though the job market isn't huge in that field. Because of this I've been teaching myself on and off about web development. I enrolled back in school last semester to keep myself focused on it and the degree wouldn't hurt either when looking for a job down the line. I completed my first semester with SQL and I'm now doing HTML/CSS (which is what I've been self teaching ).

    Now for the problem I'm having. I want to combine my passion with what I've been learning and turn that into a career. I'm trying to figure out how I can work on car computers and how to begin learning what I would need to know for that. I've reached out to programmers at companies like GM, HPTuners and SCT Tuning on LinkedIn and haven't gotten any replies from anyone. So how do I figure out the things I need to learn? I'd like to work on having that knowledge now so I'm more wanted when the day comes.

    I'm just trying to get ahead of the game and work my way into my ideal niche.

    Is there a good light open source db (engine or library) , that can do offline and cloud syncing? Think SQLite with sync capabilities.

    Posted: 16 Mar 2019 03:36 PM PDT

    So im thinking of doing a web app or maybe native mobile data collection app. The app, will collect data via sensors and then capture sensor data (temp, humidity, pressure etc) via a Mqtt hub store it locally and then sync it to a larger dataset in the cloud. I'm looking for a database with a small enough footprint that it can run in something like a Rpi , then later sync To a central server , preferably the same database engine.

    I know there's some commercial products but most are cloud only, and I want to be able to run my own central server for more flexibility, since not all remote locations have internet access.

    Codeanywhere for sale for $1.5M? Or is this a scam listing?

    Posted: 15 Mar 2019 05:30 PM PDT

    It's a private listing on Flippa, but the listing image shown quite clearly shows "Codeanywhere.com" in the text...its the image from the Codeanywhere home page. And the poster is "I B" the initials of Ivan Burazin (CEO).

    Listing: https://business.flippa.com/businesses/198/private-listing-saas-internet

    For...

    Note: This is a highly confidential listing. If you'd like to learn more about the business please select "contact seller" then "sign the NDA".

    ..they sure didn't try very hard to keep it hidden. Seems almost like it has to be a fake/scam? Listing does have a P&L listed and such though.

    Best workflow for locally customizing someone else's website?

    Posted: 16 Mar 2019 02:55 PM PDT

    Maybe this is something only I care deeply about, but it just drives me crazy the level of difficulty website creators make their UX to be.

    It's almost necessary to be proficient in web and programming knowledge to get any use out of their site

    Obvious information or links or bulk actions anyone would need to perform are impossible.

    Does anyone know of a good workflow for modding sites?

    Something I can quickly hack up, verify, and permanently use?

    Polyfilling a web app the right way

    Posted: 16 Mar 2019 02:12 PM PDT

    Why doesn't GitHub have messagging?

    Posted: 16 Mar 2019 01:30 PM PDT

    Just for collaborators though. Maybe it's just me, but whenever I feel the need to ask someone what they were thinking when they wrote their code, it's a actually a drag opening up a messaging app to ask them on another platform. Is there a particular reason why they don't have the feature?

    Yokaidex project

    Posted: 16 Mar 2019 12:59 PM PDT

    Yokaidex is a PWA built with react and hosted on netlify.

    It is a wiki with informations about yo-kai watch games for the 3ds, and contains at this time, information about the 758 yo-kais.

    I have been working in this project for 3 months I think, and I would like to show you guys what I achieved and would like opinions about it.

    You can find the source code here 👉 https://github.com/joaopedrodcf/yokaidex

    Would invite everyone that wants to participate in the project to look at the issues section, or fix something that is wrong but not reported.

    Thank you

    Showoff Saturday: Affordable Screenshot API with Email Actions, Webhooks and Zapier Integration

    Posted: 16 Mar 2019 12:17 PM PDT

    GetScreenshot: https://getscreenshot.rasterwise.com/

    ​

    Hey there! I'm building an alternative to other existing services that allow you to screenshot pages. Some of the differentiated goodies:

    1) Cheaper than other services/

    2) Ability to hook an email action after the capture is completed.

    3) Ability to past a webhook endpoint. When the capture is completed it sends a POST request to that endpoint.

    4) Highlighting of words and phrases.

    5) Optimized rendering (still dealing with edge cases but wide support of rendering scenarios, and solving new ones as they come).

    ​

    What do you guys think? All feedback is welcomed!

    ​

    P.S: If you want to try it for free, please use this coupon: FREEMONTH5 / you would need to enter a credit card, but you can cancel at any time before the end of the first month.

    Wix Bug: .id is using _owner field key instead of _id field key.

    Posted: 16 Mar 2019 03:07 PM PDT

    Wix Bug: .id is using _owner field key instead of _id field key.

    I am attempting to make a custom login page because the Wix members pages cannot be customized.

    Members are currently able to sign up for my site and their information is stored in a data set called dmList. I then created a custom log in page that allows the user to sign in. Once logged in, they user should be able to click on a button to go to their profile page so they can view their information. However, this is where a critical issue arrived that I, nor my webdev friend have been able to solve (he is a professional programmer). There is a line of code attached to the button that should fire when the button is clicked.

    wixLocation.to(`/dmList/${wixUsers.currentUser.id}`);

    Now, my users can access their page by using www.thedragonguild.com/dmList/id (originally it was username but currentuser.username didn't work). Each user has a unique id key, stored under _id in my dataset, that is created by wix. I cannot touch it or alter it in any way. There is another Wix field in my dataset called the owner field (_owner). Like ID, I cannot access the owner field, however unlike id, the owner field is not a valid extension for web pages on wix.

    For some strange reason, when someone is logged in, this code is using the _owner field key as the extension (www.thedragonguild/dmList/owner), which is an invalid page. I have been stuck on this bug for over a month, and even had a friend, who is a web developer take a look at it. After over an hour of digging he came to the conclusion that it is likely a Wix bug.

    Bellow is the code I used. I got it from a wix code page and made the necessary modifications (i.e. changing the name of the dataset from Members to dmList). Here is the link to the page I used:

    https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-code-tutorial-building-your-own-members-area

    Thank you for your help!!!!

    ​

    // For full API documentation, including code examples, visit http://wix.to/94BuAAs
    import wixUsers from 'wix-users';
    import wixData from 'wix-data';
    import wixLocation from 'wix-location';
    $w.onReady(function () {
    //TODO: write your page related code here...
    //if the user is logged in, change button 1 to log out and display the members page
    if(wixUsers.currentUser.loggedIn) {
    $w('#button1').label = 'Exit The Guild Hall';
    $w('#button3').show();
    }
    // if the user is logged out, display log in button and hide members page
    else {
    $w('#button1').label = 'Enter The Guild Hall';
    $w('#button3').show();
    }

    });

    export function button1_click(event) {
    //Add your code for this event here:

    console.log(user);
    userId = user.id;
    return user.getEmail();
    })
    .then ((email) => {
    // check if there is an item for the user in the collection
    userEmail = email;
    return wixData.query('dmList')
    .eq('_id', userId)
    .find();
    })
    .then( (results) =>{
    //if an item for the user is not found
    if(results.items.length === 0){
    // create an item
    const toInsert = {
    '_id': userId,
    'email': userEmail
    };
    // add the item to the collection
    wixData.inser('dmList', toInsert)
    .catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
    } );
    }
    // update buttons accordingly
    $w('#button1').label = 'Exit The Guild Hall';

    } )
    .catch((err) =>{
    console.log(err);
    }
    );
    }
    }

    export function button3_click(event) {
    //Add your code for this event here:
    //takes the curent user to their profile when clicking button
    /*let userId = wixUsers.user.id;
    wixData.query('dmList')
    .eq('_id', userId)
    .find();*/
    // window.alert(wixUsers.currentUser);
    wixLocation.to(`/dmList/${wixUsers.currentUser.id}`);
    //wixLocation.to(`/dmList/${wixUsers.user.id}`);

    Question about using Gandi for email

    Posted: 16 Mar 2019 10:52 AM PDT

    I've been trying to find an answer for this but I can't seem to find it. Is Gandi's webmail SOGo able to connect to any email app like the standard iOS mail app? Also I'm assuming since Gandi uses SOGo they do not use Microsoft Azure what so ever? (I do not want my email service associated with Microsoft in any way)
