    What do you think of CSS Houdini

    Posted: 03 May 2019 09:22 AM PDT

    https://css-tricks.com/interactive-introduction-to-css-houdini/

    ​

    This looks so cool. I was reading the aim is to remove browser incompatibilities. If true that would be insane.

    The bummer is that people have already snaked domains csshoudini.com and csshoudini.io are both taken already.

    How much compsci on your day to day job?

    Posted: 03 May 2019 09:07 AM PDT

    I am just on the cusp of getting my first job and am still trying to better myself every day (why I like this field so much). I know learning CompSci will make you a much better engineer, but how much of you in webdev use that knowledge on your day to day schedule? If anyone knows of reputable sources for learning more than just basic recursion, big O, stacks/queues/etc, could you point me in the right direction? Thanks for the time, everyone!

    What database did you choose for your app because you did not want to be 'locked' into the technology?

    Posted: 03 May 2019 03:40 PM PDT

    Today, building apps with certain 'proprietary' technologies can be very easy (for example: firebase), however there is always that fear of being locked in. When it comes to databases, what db did you ultimately choose because you do not want to be locked in? Is it wise to go with open-sourced options like Postgres, mongodb, MySQL?

    How To Seamlessly Move Site(s) Between Hosting Services?

    Posted: 03 May 2019 06:38 AM PDT

    So my Hostgator subscription is running out. I've been really satisfied with it, but my site(s) are still small, and it's going to cost me WAY more money than it's currently worth to renew.

    Is it tough to migrate to a new host without messing with things like SEO, stuff like that?

    Most of my sites are Wordpress-based, with one being a MyBB forum that's gone to shit with spam, so I really don't even care about that one at this point. I'd need to start fresh.

    How do I go about switching? Are my wordpress files, and my database, the only important things I need to back up, then simply upload them on the new host and I'm up and running, 100% good to go? I know I have to change the DNS servers on my registrar and whatnot, but mostly I'm just concerned with the process of moving the files as to have everything working seamlessly.

    I was going to do that with Filezilla, but I noticed when backing up each site in its respective folder, that sometimes there would be random duplicates, and I didn't know if I should be keeping both, replacing the older one, little weird hiccups that I'm sure would haunt me later..

    To save several hundred bucks, I'm totally find with putting in a bit of work to do it.

    Thanks so much for your guidance!!

    How to handle time when a user messes with this date & time settings on their phone?

    Posted: 03 May 2019 03:23 PM PDT

    I am developing a dating app (you know, erotic, just to avoid confusion with date & time) in React Native. An example use case:

    It's 5pm and a user arranges a date with another user at 9pm. He will be presented with a timer that says '4 hours remaining', decreasing with each hour passing. At 9-11pm, he will be presented with a 'you should be with the other user now' (or something). And after 11pm, he will be presented with a feedback to rate his date.

    I cannot find a workaround to prevent the user messing up with time settings. He could select a date(day) 3 days earlier or 3 days later. I checked how Facebook handles this and... there is pretty much no handling. For a post I created 1 hour ago, I can play with the phone time settings and make it look like I created 5 hours ago or 5 hours from now...

    More important is the last part. I am thinking of querying at time intervals in order to ask the server if it's the right time to ask for a feedback.

    Any ideas for the right approach?

    Understanding and contributing to open source framework and library code

    Posted: 03 May 2019 02:53 PM PDT

    I'm curious and hoping to get insight from those who have been in this position and made it to the other side.

    I'm quite familiar with frameworks like Flask, Django, Angular, React, Express, and recently started developing in a professional capacity. I decided that I wanted to better understand the tools I was using so I dig into some of the open source framework code.

    Needless to say, I was completely out of my depth. Specifically with Angular's source code..not only was I unable to read it in a way that would allow me to understand the flow, but it's written in a way that seems completely foreign to me. Pretty much same with the others mentioned above.

    So I guess my question is, as someone who has been programming for a few years and is competent to a certain extent, what type of resources should I seek out to get to a level where I can read and contribute to complex framework and library code? And why are they written in such a way so that they aren't easily readable; out of necessity? And if so, what are some examples of the necessities?

    I understand that the answer to these questions are complex in and of themselves, hoping to get some high level insight and/or resources that maybe go into greater depth. Thanks.

    Backend sources

    Posted: 03 May 2019 10:45 AM PDT

    So I downloaded XAMPP because I began learning sql and php but noticed that I really don't know anything about Servers themselves and how to set things up. But I want to understand that stuff I do and not simply follow configuration tutorials. Anyone has any sources for websites which help me understand that stuff. Like I started XAMPP and really didn't know what to do.

    ​

    EDIT: I wanna learn full backend so I can be full-stack because I learned HTML and CSS and learning JS and feel confident enough to go ahead and learn sql/servers/php.

    How common are part time jobs?

    Posted: 03 May 2019 02:28 PM PDT

    I think it'd be nice to cut down to a 20 hour/week schedule in a decade or two. Between investments, pared down living expenses and still a decent amount of money coming in I think it'd be a chill life.

    Do you see part time positions like that in this industry or is it heavily full time focused? If part time requires "something extra" what might that be, besides general skill / experience?

    How much should I charge him ?

    Posted: 03 May 2019 01:08 PM PDT

    Hi !

    ​

    So there is a customer I have which I worked several times with. I was a little bit stupid and I gave him very low prices for hours of work (it ended up 5$/hour).

    He recently contacted me about something he would like me to do, but I would love to augment how much I get paid without scaring him.

    I will give you a summary of the tasks I need to do. If you want, PM me and I will send you the full message he sent me.

    1. Get rid of some sentences that appear on a lot of pages (forum, change the source code of his forum).
    2. Add a section of text (he already wrote the text)
    3. He want me to update the forum to a new version (FUDforum)
    4. He wants me to update this forum to other websites and change the logo.

    I really don't know how much time it would take. I can't give him an hourly wage because I don't know how much hours it would take. It would be like giving me a blank check.

    How much should I charge him for this ?

    PM for the full message from my customer

    Economical SSL for couple of sites on GoDaddy Deluxe Share Hosting

    Posted: 03 May 2019 12:59 PM PDT

    Late to the SSL game I know, but I manage a few sites for family all on the same godaddy deluxe hosting plan. I want to set them up with a SSL certificate but I don't want to pay a ton of $$ - these are simple sites that don't generate income. I was looking into Let's Encrypt, but see that my hosting may not be compatible? Help!

    What's the best way to integrate chat into your application?

    Posted: 03 May 2019 11:28 AM PDT

    We have a small application, a portal for doctors and other medical providers. Because of some unusual requirements imposed by the client, we decided to use React on the front end, an Web.Api/C#/.Net/SQLServer on the back end. I'm the back end developer.

    We need to add chat functionality to the application. The front end guys have zero interest in the back end. So they keep recommending things that work great for them while ignoring any nightmare they leave me with. I keep telling everyone that it's a bad idea for me to re-implement slack or skype.

    Is there a third party tool out there that includes both a back end server, and some kind of React-compatible component for the front end? The server could be hosted on the same server as the REST back end. But it would have to run on windows and be able to use SQL Server as the database.

    React and Cordova

    Posted: 03 May 2019 11:15 AM PDT

    Hello everyone!

    ​

    I've created a Web App with ReactJS (create-react-app), and now I want to create an Android/iOS app from it now. I know that I can achieve something like that with Cordova, but I can't make it work - I get a white screen every time.

    ​

    After creating a project with Cordova, I have a structure like this:

    ​

    testApp

    -- config.xml

    -- hooks

    -- package.json

    -- platforms

    -- plugins

    -- www

    ​

    Where exactly should I put my React code now? Should I build the app for production at first?

    ​

    Any information is helpful!
