    Am I the only one that takes too long just to start a project?

    Posted: 10 Aug 2019 09:44 AM PDT

    Although I know programming very well(I learned it since I was 11, I'm a teenager now) I find it hard to start or complete anything at all. I'm just so lazy even though I really enjoy it.

    I can build a project but once it goes like 50% complete, I find myself so powerless to complete it. Because of this, I only completed relatively few projects. I know how generally I do everything but once there's too many bugs in code, I just feel uninterested to complete it.

    How did you get over this?

    Making image appear when hovering on <li> text (no javascript)

    Posted: 10 Aug 2019 01:26 PM PDT

    Hi,

    Ignoring the formatting and sizing of the text itself, I have the core elements of a nav bar here taken from my site. I'm basically wanting an animated gif to appear adjacent to the dropdown links under work when it's expanded, but unsure of the css/html I'd have to use to do this. I'm using a drag/drop style site builder but for the most part using the custom CSS option, and anything javascript related tends to mess with the site builder itself.

    Any help on this would be massively appreciated.

    Installing Xdebug on MacOS 10.14.6

    Posted: 10 Aug 2019 02:48 PM PDT

    Installing Xdebug on MacOS 10.14.6

    Hello,

    i am trying to get Xdebug working with XAMPP (installed, not the vm).
    I tried various things the last days from different tutorials around the internet, nothing worked for me so far ...

    I found out to use PECL to install Xdebug, nothing very special

    $ pecl install xdebug

    with SIP disabled.

    PECL says: installation successful, I only have to add the path to the .so file to my php.ini
    so far so good, the problem is there is not Xdebug.so file in the directory PECL gives me (see screenshot below)

    am I just stupid right now and not getting an "really important PECL thing" or so?

    ​

    Thanks,

    ​

    Johannes

    Self teaching web development

    Posted: 10 Aug 2019 10:54 AM PDT

    Hi there, I'm slowly but surely on my way to a self taught web dev career change. Ive studied HTML and I am getting into advanced CSS(flexbox & grid). I just figured out how to host my HTML website using a web hosting service. I was just wondering if I could get some suggestions for the next logical step I should take in learning. Should I start learning vanilla JavaScript, I keep hearing buzzwords like React and Angular but not sure what I should be googling at this point. Any help would be great! sorry if this question isn't specific or too general. Thanks for your help!

    I'm building my site w/ the Hugo framework, and I'm running into some trouble with implementing my own CSS & overriding the base CSS from Github. Help would be appreciated!

    Posted: 10 Aug 2019 02:24 PM PDT

    Hey everyone,

    So I'm building a simple site using Hugo, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to create my own CSS page for things like fonts, colors, etc & implement it and override the CSS page from the theme's Github page. I'm new to this side of web dev, and I don't know what it is but I've been stuck on it for a couple days now.

    Here is the Hugo theme's Github page

    Here is my Github page w/ the repo

    If there are any questions about the code, framework, etc, just let me know. I really appreciate it!

    PushRadar: Realtime Notifications API Service

    What hardware do you use for your web dev setup?

    Posted: 10 Aug 2019 06:27 AM PDT

    I'm hopefully getting an offer on a web dev position next week, and will need a new machine for the job.

    I've always built machines for gaming or music production, but this time around, I'm looking to put together something purely for web development.

    I've got 2 monitors already picked out (a couple of Dell monitors that rotate with good color accuracy, as this is mostly front-end work), but I'm trying to figure out just how much beef I should invest in.

    Biggest debate for me is 16gb or 32gb RAM. I've got 16 on my machine I use currently. I do plan on doing SOME video work on the machine, so 32gb isn't necessarily out of the question.

    CPU wise, should I go with an i7, or an i9? Trying to eek out as much speed as I can with NPM, Webpack & Babel, especially when working on larger projects. I don't want to go overboard, though, as I'm budgeting about $2000 for the setup, and am planning on going with a laptop for portability purposes. Monitors will cost about $550 total themselves, leaving me the rest for the machine, keyboard & mouse.

    I'm currently running an i5 (Skylake), 16gb RAM, 500gb SSD regarding the relevant parts.

    How to handle secrets when storing source on GitHub and accessing content via serverless functions?

    Posted: 10 Aug 2019 02:49 PM PDT

    I have a site that I'm using GitHub to store my source code on. This source includes serverless functions that will reach out to AWS and perform a DynamoDB query, for instance. I would like to host these serverless functions on Netlify or other providers besides AWS, because it would be cheaper than paying for API gateway fees on AWS.

    The main problem that comes with running my serverless functions outside AWS is that I now need to provide explicit permissions to connect to services like DynamoDB.

    I am unsure where I can store these secrets? I assume it would be my admin IAM permissions that the serverless functions need to access.

    Study Ratio

    Posted: 10 Aug 2019 06:00 AM PDT

    Preface: I'm looking to get into web development come this October after a year of studying.

    The list below is made of topics that I am currently reading a book (or taking a video course) on, or already covered, but am just practicing. The visual design stuff, I've given that the least time, while the Data Structures and Algorithms, front-end, and back-end stuff the most.

    From what I've listed below, which elements would you guys and gals suggest I put the bulk of my time to for prepping for interviews. Also, if there's anything that I am not thinking about, please let me know. Also, I'm already comfortable with the command line and SQL:

    • Data Structures and Algorithm
    • JavaScript basics (especially DOM manipulation)
    • Object-Oriented programming with JavaScript
    • Functional programming with JavaScript
    • Software design patterns
    • Recreating user interfaces from .psd and .xd files via HTML, CSS (Flexbox and Grid), vanilla JS, and React
    • UXD, typography, and form design
    • REST and CRUD abilities via Node.js and Express, Mongo, and MySQL
    • TDD
    • Software documentation
    • RegEx
    • Puzzle solving skills via 'Cracking The Coding Interview'

    My studies are broken up into blocks of 1 and a half hour sessions for new topics. 1 hour for things I've already covered.

    Mondays through Wednesdays from 3:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. Thursdays through Fridays from 3:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. Weekends I focus on one different topic every week starting from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. At 11:00 a.m. I learn to build a UI element (modal, image slider, sliding side navigation, etc.)

    P. S. I'll be taking a video course on Webpack soon, but I don't think I'll be studying my notes day in and day out for it, like I do with the other topics.

    [Showoff Saturday] Freelancers: Automatic code generation to save development time (feedback for idea)

    Posted: 10 Aug 2019 07:36 AM PDT

    Would like to get some feedback from those of you who do development work for clients.

    I've done quite a few freelance projects over time, and I've noticed a lot of work was repeated between the various projects. The process of setting up the project, creating database schema, defining models and associations, setting up routes and controllers, creating forms for various pages, etc.

    I believe that I can save devs at least 5-10 hours of work per project through a GUI setup process, similar to SquareSpace or WebFlow. However, as opposed to those tools, which cater to non-dev end users and require hosting on their platform, I would generate the code, and give you a full download of all the code so that you can further customize it or do as you wish with it. Think of it as a more extensive "rails generate the_whole_app" that generates code customized for your models and gives you some custom UI layout, but it only aims to do the first 10-20% of the project, and leaves the final customizing and more complex behaviors to you to finish, since you will have the best understanding of your client, and some things are just hard to auto-generate. The goal is to make this a paid service and business, but I'm happy to either offer large discounts or "free-forever" usage to those in this subreddit who are interested in it or offer helpful feedback.

    I've done some code testing already and have at least proved to myself that this is possible to do (I did a Rails project as a test since I have some experience there). You could specify models and their fields by GUI, then create some very basic pages by GUI, and the app would generate your database migration files, model files, model association tables, routes, controllers, etc. Some value would be added beyond the regular scaffolding of course, such as automatically handling nested resources, relation tables, ajax data tables to list your database records, auto-generated navbar that highlights current page, etc.

    Hoping to get feedback on - if you can answer any one of these questions I'll be satisfied, no need to do all if you don't have time =D :

    1. I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether this is something that's a problem for you (doing a lot of repeated work between clients) and whether you already created your own library of code to solve this? Is this compelling at all to you?
    2. What languages/frameworks do you do your work in? Server-side or client side? I've tested a mini-prototype for this for Ruby on Rails for server-side oriented projects, but it would be possible to generate code for client side frameworks as well, and for other languages.
    3. Is there a particular vertical that you seem to get a lot of clients requesting? E.g. making directories, social networks, two-sided marketplaces, e-commerce, CRM/ERPs?
    4. Do you sometimes get requests for a full ecosystem? E.g. web app + iOS app + Android app + API backend. Would you be interested in generating starter projects for mobile apps as well? Desktop apps?
    5. Do you only use your own code, and tend not to trust depending on code that you did not write yourself? If the generated code was very well documented, does that alleviate some of that fear?
    6. Any other thoughts or particular feature requests?

    Thanks a ton! I can't do everything, that would take years of development time, so it'd be helpful to narrow down what people need the most, and really focus in on that.

    [Facebook API] How do I get the account's currency?

    Posted: 10 Aug 2019 01:14 PM PDT

    I'm building a community connector for Google Data Studio to offer me insights about ad campaigns in different social medias, and currently I'm working on one for Facebook. I intend to let the user chose the currency the data relative to financial values will be displayed on. The problem is, the "currency" field on Facebook's graph API was deprecated, meaning in theory I can't, through requests to the Facebook API, get anymore: 1) In which currency the data is being returned (I saw on forums people saying it's in the accounts preferred currency, but I'm not sure about that, and even then I'd need to know which currency it is), 2) Exchange rates between currencies, something that would be super useful for me.

    Official info about the field being deprecated can only be find on a changelog on the developers.facebook.com documentation and reasoned on basis of data privacy, but these fields are still in the documentation itself. Someone on Stack Overflow suggested this workaround that did not work for me, with the API saying the field suggested is not part of the endpoint in question (<ad account id>/insights, although I'll need it to work on profile and page accounts as well). I don't know if the workaround failed for being also deprecated given their concerns or if I just did something wrong.

    TL;DR: How can I get currency info for a Facebook account through their API?

    Efficient way to create large blobs

    Posted: 10 Aug 2019 01:00 PM PDT

    I have a server sending packets to the client, which uses javascript to concatenate the packet data and create a blob before creating a URI component that is then downloaded as a file via an automatic click of a hidden anchor tag.

    What would be the most efficient way to create a large blob from these strings (the blob can be up to several hundred MBs to 1 GB)? Currently I am just appending the packet data to a string and then creating one blob at the very end. Performance drops after the first couple of hundred MBs. Is it more efficient to use different data structures?

    The context is that a user will filter log files and the server will return chunks of the filtered log over time so the client can display a loading bar to the user. The filtered log files cannot be made into a new file on the server in the interest of storage space, so the file will be created on the client side.

    Reliable (free) DNS hosting with API suggestions?

    Posted: 10 Aug 2019 09:14 AM PDT

    My current DNS provider (that does not have an API for DNS) has recently changed their login pages and the script I wrote to login and update DNS via curl no longer works. They are now using recaptcha, so I think I will need to move my nameservers to somewhere else that has an API to allow me to update DNS via a script, specifically so that I can automate letsencrypt wildcard certificate renewals.

    Any suggestions for a reliable (and preferably free) DNS hosting service that offers an API for adding and remove A records?

    Thanks
