    Microsoft launches Visual Studio Online, an online code editor

    Elderly clients make me glad I dont do freelance anymore...

    Posted: 06 May 2019 01:49 PM PDT

    Just received this (redacted) email at work, very happily forwarded it away from me to the account manager :)))

    We told them that we need to transfer ownership of their domain to them and to set up an account on **insert registrar here**.

    I've never heard of this company. Why should anyone but me own my own name? Why should I have to pay anything for my own domain name? Who is this company and how do they get to own my domain name? And they want to charge me $10.00 a year? Why so much? Is this a scam?

    I tried to create an account and failed. I need an explanation of what this company is, how they work, and how paying these fees insures the security of my domain name. I could understand maybe $10 for ten or twenty years, but I've never heard of them before, have no idea who they are, and how they own my domain name. I remember another company I registered with 20 years ago, but I can't remember their name or why they got to handle everyone's domain names.

    Please explain what I have to do to secure these names: **domainName** , and **domainName**. I supposedly own both, and I don't want to have to pay a yearly fee to own what I believe is rightfully mine. How does this company protect me?

    To all the account managers out there, you do the lords work, thank you for dealing with people like this.

    Is making personal websites about yourself in 2019 still a thing?

    Posted: 06 May 2019 09:14 AM PDT

    What i mean is all this aspiring web devs fresh after their first HTML course making some "sick" websites about themselves with a ton of CSS animations and 50 paragraphs each worded differently about the same shit of what they cna do which is usual "Moden web desing" repeated until they are out of ideas. Or can i just put my projects all separated in my CV? There isn't a ton of them, 2 full stack projects and 2 front-end ones but i think they would be fine for an intership or a junior position so they wouldnt take too much space i guess.

    ⭐️React Dashboard made with Material UI - feedback appreciated

    Posted: 06 May 2019 12:40 AM PDT

    I'm in the middle of a personal project and interested in unit testing it- no testing experience. What are some good guides/practices to unit testing?

    Posted: 06 May 2019 03:38 PM PDT

    I come from the world of companies where they have no time to write tests because management cares more about deadlines than understanding what is clean, robust code (they never had a technical career), so I have never worked with developers that write tests, and have been conditioned to build projects without writing tests. What is the typical strategy to filter for the most testable parts of your application? I have an app with dozens of functions, how do I choose which functions to write tests for, and are there preferred style guides for these tests?

    Angular / Vue / React - love / hate relationship, help?

    Posted: 06 May 2019 04:27 AM PDT

    Hey folks!

    I'll preface this with - I'm a full stack dev here that's done a couple of React, React Native, Vue and Angular projects over the past few years, and now working on a React/TS/GraphQL app.

    First half of my career is mostly Rails, Laravel, Django.

    I just wanted to get opinions on those of you using any of the current hotness front-end frameworks, and what you love / hate about them, as I'm not currently enjoying the current way of working.

    These state/component view libraries - for me at least - only make sense when you have a really busy screen with lots of changing params, but for 75% of all work we ever do it just seems a slight overkill.

    It takes me at least 2-3x longer to do the same work I did in the first half of my career; amidst the pains of Babel or CRA or Next or Typescript or Apollo or Redux. And I've been at it for a couple of years now so I'd like to think I know what I'm doing.

    There's so many folks that are absolutely smitten with this way of working and I'd love to know what you folks see that I don't.

    Please don't take the above to mean I want to dark (yet awesome) era of Yahoo, Geocities and MySpace back; we're so much better today than back then!

    P.s. Absolutely love Typescript

    P.p.s. GraphQL gives me XML / SOAP flashbacks

    Jekyll users: is there any UI CMS' that allow you to insert sections from the dashboard?

    Posted: 06 May 2019 04:39 PM PDT

    Building a new site and want to use Jekyll instead of something clunky like WordPress + Visual Composer, because I need content editors to be able to insert sections of the site like includes. I feel like this would be semi trivial but I cant find anything that does that. Forestry/Netlify CMS/etc allow editing, but I dont see how you can actually insert a new section with a predefined template.

    What is the most up-to-date method of crafting a site with modular responsive typography?

    Posted: 06 May 2019 12:10 PM PDT

    I remember back in the day there were things like type scales that gave you ratios for how to relate your header text to your paragraphs, making your typography modular. Is that still a thing? If so, what are the latest standards? I never quite understood it, but I think I might give it another go.

    Examples of what I mean:

    Duplicate page elements one time for each media query breakpoint

    Posted: 06 May 2019 03:48 PM PDT

    Wondering if this is a good strategy, because it seems simpler to execute but requires more time writting.

    Basic strategy is to duplicate each element on the page for each media query so there are several copies of each element and they show/hide depending on media query. Example:

    <div class="some-classes mobile">Only shows on mobile, hidden on others</div>

    <div class="other-classes tablet">Only shows on tablet, hidden on others</div>

    <div class="other-other-class desktop">Only shows on desktop, hidden on others</div>

    then media query would just change the mobile, tablet or desktop classes display to none or flex/block

    That absolute positioned element causing the body to shrink

    Posted: 06 May 2019 03:12 PM PDT

    That absolute positioned element causing the body to shrink

    Did someone experience this problem before?
    That absolute positioned element causing the body to shrink and leave some empty space in viewport. Even though I set body as full width/height.
    And it is happening randomly. Not all time, not in all browsers. Any possible reason or solution?

    https://i.redd.it/x1z4oar70ow21.png

    I'm adding the hierarchy, just in case.

    body (relative)
    - - main (static)
    - - - - container (relative)
    - - - - - - wrapper (relative)
    - - - - - - - - container-in (static)
    - - - - - - - - - - img (absolute : the culprit)
    - - - - - - - - - - div with extra elements (static)

    Create a modern Javascript Router

    Posted: 06 May 2019 08:45 AM PDT

    HTML - CSS Paragraph overflow

    Posted: 06 May 2019 02:43 PM PDT

    Hello, I am having some issues with probably something simple where I am most likely just blind.

    I have spent 12 hours trying to pass this little annoying format bellow... played with margins, padding, etc, nothing seems to work...

    I got a VPS rented out for having an RTMP module for nginx running used for private low latency livestreams, as well as a vpn server on it. I am trying to get a simple pure HTML system uptime info displayed on the index page. I got it working with cronjob etc.

    It works like this: Cron reads an sh and generates this every few minutes into "uptime.html" (.html because .txt can't be formatted in pure html):

    <link href=txtstyle.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css> <span class=text> up 5 days, 3 hours, 12 minutes </span> 

    Then I've got the index.html:

    <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Welcome</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css"> </head> <body> <div class="heading"> <span class="title1">Uptime</span> <span class="title2"><object data="uptime.html" type="text/plain"></object></span> </div> </body> </html> 

    as well as these 2 css's:

    1 "style.css"

    *{ margin:0; padding:0; } html, body{ height:100%; width:100%; } body{ /*background-color:#0c0129;*/ background-image:url(image.jpg); background-position:center; background-size:cover; /*background-blend-mode:soft-light;*/ } .heading{ width:1280px; height:300px; margin:auto; position:absolute; top:0px; bottom:0px; right:0px; left:0px; } .title1{ display:block; text-align: center; color:white; font-size:60pt; font-family:big john; } .title2{ display:block; margin-top:15px; text-align: center; } 

    2 "txtstyle.css"

    .text{ margin: auto; position:absolute; text-align: center; color:white; font-size:20pt; font-family:serif; /*white-space:nowrap;*/ } 

    The issue is: The "objected" html after being formatted is split into rows as shown here: https://imgur.com/a/BvlXuNx

    Once I add white-space:nowrap; to the objected html style, it is forced in one row but some invisible margin or something is preventing it from being fully shown, as shown here: https://imgur.com/a/Nhiarwd

    I thought maybe something is conflicting or is there without a need, so I tried starting few times from 0, as soon as I put a simple format on the objected html (font size, align center), the issue appears.

    Any help would be very appreciated!

    (and yes, I am a beginner)

    Client is ghosting me ... any suggestions for how to handle...

    Posted: 06 May 2019 02:28 PM PDT

    Client requested [my help getting] a site built, with lots of custom functionality (webapp -> direct to print kind of thing). I gave him an hourly rate and he agreed. Total bill is around 5.5k at the moment.

    As the project progressed, my part of it has been completed, and he was finishing up that final 10% of the easy parts with his in-house team of sorta-developers.

    I've been pinging him every few days with a "just checking in, let me know if you need me" kind of message every few days.

    I messaged him last tuesday, no response, friday, no response, and then this morning, a more formal request ending in "Can we set up a time to chat this week" and ... no response.

    Its skype, so I can tell he's read the messages, he's just not responding.

    The site is up and live on his production server. I know he has at least one customer using it at this point.

    The github repo is under my account, but he has backups of the site made every day, so he has all the code at this point. "

    What do, webdev?

    "Most Useful" Language for WebDev

    Posted: 06 May 2019 01:57 PM PDT

    Howdy, r/webdev!

    I am relatively new to "full stack" web development, most of my skills circle around Python for data science. Of web skills, I know cursory HTML/CSS and some Javascript, plus garden variety sysadmin stuff for a household, but consider myself a total newbie otherwise.

    My question is this: If I am looking to use web developer skills professionally, i.e. helping my employer build a website or doing contract work, what language should I focus on learning?

    My use case also includes a terrible personal website (academic rants)--but that's more how I would be learning than why I would be learning.

    The two I am leaning towards are Python with Django or PHP with Laravel. Given that I "know" Python already, I'm wondering if it's worth "branching out" to something like PHP so I get some more varied experience.

    Anyone's thoughts or recommendations (as well as why you believe in your position) would be hugely appreciated! I'll then go get the obligatory O'Reilly book, terrorize github, and generally carry out the proper rituals.

    Thank you all for your time!

    TL;DR Python/Django or PHP/Laravel for web development? Or another? Why? Thank you.

    How to go from basic HTML to good-looking front-end? [Question]

    Posted: 06 May 2019 01:34 PM PDT

    I've done quite a few web development projects, but I've always struggled with making a good-looking front-end. The problem isn't a matter of learning CSS or Javascript; I haven't had any struggles with either. The problem is that I often make web pages with just basic HTML for front-end, and I can't seem to find a way to improve front-end starting off from basic HTML. I've tried learning Javascript frameworks like React because good-looking front-ends I've seen often use those, but I found that they rather streamline web development than influence how front-end looks. I've also tried using Bootstrap, which has helped slightly. But at the moment, I'm working on a browser extension. Because of security policies, I can't link scripts outside of my extension's local files, so I can't just link to Bootstrap this time, making that a bit more complicated. Because of this, I've run into the same issue of wanting to make my front-end look better, but not knowing where to start. How do I make it look better?

    How do you get out of the feeling that you are never gonna be a web developer let alone good ?

    Posted: 06 May 2019 09:45 AM PDT

    I just taught myself html, css, js and little bit of sql and php. But still I don't think i am good enough. And whenever i search internet for some help its like i still don't know anything. There is so much to learn api and all. I always got depressed but still i wanna be a good back-end developer if not full stack. Any advice is appreciated PS: I don't have cs degree.
