    I was bored, so I tried to recreate the New York Times using Bulma, the CSS framework. web developers


    I was bored, so I tried to recreate the New York Times using Bulma, the CSS framework.

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 01:32 PM PST

    So I was scrolling through Reddit and I got inspired by this post on CSS-Tricks post and I said, that with Bulma you could do that ridiculously quick... long life to flexbox.

    You can see it here https://michael-andreuzza.github.io/Free-Bulma-Templates/templates/nyt.html

    and here are some more Bulma templates if you want or need:

    Is there a way to anonymously register a website?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2019 06:40 PM PST

    I understand you can hide your details from the public register when you register a domain name, however say you wanted to go one step further and completely hide your identity. Say you wanted to create a website which my irk a certain authoritarian state. Would this be possible?

    Work making me use a Web page builder

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 04:39 AM PST

    So my previous post on here about work trying to turn me into a designer got a lot of traction and helped me come up with an idea how to solve that issue.

    I now have a ridiculous new issue of being asked to stop coding the sites I build and start using a fucking page builder called unbounce. I've already stressed to my boss previously how shit these are and how much I hate them but he just sorta ignored all that. Why hire a fucking developer if you want him to use a page builder. I want to get up and quit right now but I need this money for debts I've got. Nothing more humiliating than using these stupid Web page builders. Someone save me please I can't deal with this anymore.

    Should i use a front end framework for my website

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 11:24 AM PST

    As the question states... I'm having troubles fully understand what front end frameworks are for and when to use them. I feel like they're for websites that show you info you input and updates without reloading the page. So if I'm correct it doesn't make sense to use angular or react on my personal website.. does it it?? Like it's just my information and I'm not having anything having to update real time.. in a noob!! Any help would be greatly appreciated..

    Any devs using a TV as a monitor? I need a new monitor, but I don't need all the crazy gaming specs.

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 08:20 AM PST

    I'm seriously considering buying something like a 4K Fire TV instead of a monitor. The prices are ridiculously cheap for Black Friday.

    Anybody else doing this?

    Do you recommend a monitor over a TV?

    UPDATE: Thanks for steering me in the right direction. I once went from a garbage laptop screen to a retina display and my headaches magically disappeared.

    Gonna get this monitor:

    Acer ED323QUR Abidpx 31.5 Inches WQHD (2560 x 1440) Curved 1800R VA Gaming Monitor with AMD Radeon FREESYNC Technology - 4ms; 144Hz Refresh Rate; Display Port, HDMI Port & DVI Port https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DR5PG8S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_kvA4Db524BKFE

    I don't need all the bells and whistles, but for the price, it includes what I need for a killer deal.

    I need ideas for a new side project

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 03:06 PM PST

    Basically, as the title reads, I need ideas for a new project to help build my portfolio. I am definitely more front end savy, so maybe something to build my back end skills. I have built a basic CRUD app in laravel, but that can only go so far. Any ideas? I thought about maybe a sports website that gets data from an API and displays the data in a cool way but I don't know. Any suggestions would be a HUGE help :)

    How to make a small Node app with MySQL

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 12:02 PM PST

    I feel likes there's hundreds of MERN stack articles, tutorials, guides, etc. but I've been wanting to learn MySQL by making a small application with it and can't find any good resources. All the resources out there are about making a MySQL database in isolation on your machine, but what if I wanted to deploy a small CRUD application using Node, MySQL, and Heroku or something- how would I do that?

    When will AR/VR merge with WebDev?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 10:38 AM PST

    They're both UIs. VR is quite intrusive now. AR may become ubiquitous one day... or not.

    What do you guys predict. Will web developers be programming on z-indexed surfaces in 2020s or is this a way's out?

    Bootstrap Buttons on Mobile

    So I am a total newbie to coding and have been learning on the go. I'm starting to get Bootstrap columns a little bit more as I go, but I'm still having a little trouble. How do I make buttons not look bad on mobile?

    On the desktop they look great:

    On mobile...not so much...

    The code:

    <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="col-md-12 col-sm-12 text-center ftco-animate"> <h1 class="mb-4 mt-5"></h1> <p> <a href="resources\Tutoring Information.pdf" target=_blank class="btn btn-primary p-3 px-xl-4 py-xl-3">Tutoring Information</a> &nbsp; <a href="resources\parentnight.pdf" target=_blank class="btn btn-primary p-3 px-xl-4 py-xl-3">Parent Night Info</a> &nbsp; <a href="resources\ACT_SAT.pdf" target=_blank class="btn btn-primary p-3 px-xl-4 py-xl-3">ACT/SAT Info</a> &nbsp; <a href="resources\Course Description Guide 2019-2020.pdf" target=_blank class="btn btn-primary p-3 px-xl-4 py-xl-3">Course Description Guide</a> </p> </div> </div>

    Back-end developer freelancing

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 11:11 AM PST

    Hi all, as the title says I'm a back-end developer.

    I want to start freelancing and I've tooled around with tailwindcss and know bootstrap like the back of my hand. The problem is that my design skills fall extremely short. Leading to lacklustre looking, but still well put-together front-ends.

    I was wondering if there is much scope as a freelance developer who can't build pretty web-pages?

    Is there potential of outsourcing the design aspect? (ie. a designer creates mockups in Photoshop or something and I build the front-end to meet the design).

    How would I go about finding said designer?

    Hoping there are more people out there in a similar situation to me.

    Thanks in advance, people.

    Any good tutorials on scaling applications?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 02:26 PM PST

    Got a phone interview and I was asked if I ever encountered some scaling issues at work, and I couldn't really give a decent answer to that, because I never worked on an application used by millions of people, so I only said I used redis to cache some computationally intensive SQL requests. I am looking for anything about designing distributed systems and techniques for handling a large amount of traffic.

    how to build components in native JS/non SPA?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 12:53 PM PST

    I like having components and structured files and folders, but for my smaller sideprojects it's an overkill, is there anything that offers components and bundles everything into an optimized build but isn't a SPA?

    Writer looking for someone who has done web dev for adult entertainment site

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 03:49 PM PST

    I am writing a (non-judgmental) article on how porn sites use their algorithms or people to title videos and to recommend additional content to their users.

    I would love to speak to someone who has worked at PornHub or a similar site (off-the-record is fine) to make sure I understand how the algorithms work, generally speaking.

    If you have worked as a coder, developer or something similar for one of these sites and would be willing to talk, please send me a private message.

    Below are a couple of links to a couple of articles I have written so that you have some idea who I am.

    Thank you in advance for your assistance!

    i seriously need a Mentor...

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 02:01 PM PST

    ive reached the point as a jr dev, that its clear i need a mentor, i make tons of progress then i get stuck on simple tasks and no one has the patience / time to properly explain things. so i have to move on to a new project where the process repeats it self,as a self taught dev , i know how to google , discord, and reddit. but still no one has the patience to help walk me through certain concepts so i can learn enough to build on my own i have some great ideas and they come half way to life. just to end up in purgatory.My budget is thin (after being scammed by a Hollywood celerity ) , i can pay in garlicoin ( a meme cryptocurrency) . i just need help and want to grow as a developer, please dm or email me @ [cryptorootz@pm.me](mailto:cryptorootz@pm.me) if you know of anyone who is looking for a jr dev mentee. mahalo

    WebStorm vs. VS Code

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 09:32 AM PST

    I use VS Code for Python, Java, and currently, my JavaScript projects. These were simple games in JavaScript, and one "web app" using jQuery with Flask to host it.

    I just want to know if anyone prefers WebStorm over VS Code and if so, why?

    What is considered as "SEO Service" that I see on some websites?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 12:48 PM PST

    I know that adjusting the htmls tags correctly, adding OG tags, as well as different titles and description for og tags (for example, you might want an informal description for users, but something formal to be better searched by search engines) can help. enough.

    And in the case of SPA, use something like a static website generator or SSR to get the data without having to render the page by the browser.

    Also, what else can I consider as "SEO Service"?

    Persistence in the cloud explained for a C# application programmer

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 12:32 PM PST

    I started to believe in fast Web Apps, because for me google Stadia is like a Web App and it is fast. Now I tried ASP.NET core MVC 3.0, which is said to be faster that older ASP.NET, ran it locally on a notebook and experienced latency which makes we want to open a second app on the other screen and constantly switch because I hate to wait. I just tried the release build and not in edge and now it runs blazing fast, okay. Still I am planning to add client side blazor to it. I have tried some SPA and like their performance and was very satisfying. Some seem to slip down into an invalid internal state after some time, and of course AJAX calls still have the same latency. I once asked reddit about workflows. They said that workflows do persist data. I read a lot about cloud lately. Still, I do not understand persistence.

    To keep latency at a minimum I store data in process in memory not on the client (SPA) and also on the server (like Stadia). Visual Studio tells me that my server process uses 244 MB right now. I typically write CRUD applications where people type in new data. They need to type the whole day to make a notable difference to the memory consumption.

    I start a Kestrel web server on the command line. There is only one process. I guess, later I will have to place it behind an IIS where the TLS certificates are stored. I already get the feeling that the IIS will start and stop my process at will. In the past with IIS a single application pool item did appear as different "attach to" processes in VisualStudio (or where it workflows run by the even more obscure workflow engine?) Usually F5 was good enough for me.

    When I am in a desktop application, there is often some auto-save feature which writes user input to a magnetic storage or to flash every minute or so. Now technically, writing to disk or flash is quite costly for a small amount of data (data typed in by the user). In flash a whole sector needs to be set to zeros first, and in a magnetic drive a whole sector needs to be written at once because – in contrast to optical data – magnetic data cannot be added seamlessly. Also on a server we would have to pay for the time the disk head needs to move to our cylinder. So I think the data is copied from DRAM on the main-board over a wire to the DRAM in the storage unit. The storage unit runs a well debugged software (so called firmware) and has a power backup (kinetic energy of disk, or supercap). So when external power fails or the connection over the wire goes down, the (cached) data is physically persisted (SAP Hana).

    I did learn that it is best that only the service user which runs my WebApp has permission to write to the data files and thus only my WebApp can lock them. But then already in the (non-cloud) Web Development I was told to use 2 processes on two computers: One for the App and another for the RDBMS. The RDBMs has access to the aforementioned files. The WebApp transforms the CRUDQ data from the RDBMs and vice versa. I read that SQL views do all that. In reality some dev tool scaffolds the WebApp and from then I need to keep the WebApp and the RDBMs in sync. I understand that this is some form of parallel computing, which is nice for high throughput applications, but costly at the start. Also multiple WebApps (microservices) can share data. But in my experience the most costly part was always data filtering and retrieval and the Web App is idle. So I guess it is all about access rights management? But that is typically handled declaratively. Maybe the code of the RDBMS is quite large and thus I should not load it as a DLL into my memory? SQLite or HyperSql suffice for me.

    With NAS and RAID writing to disk gets more expensive. Every small amount of data needs to be packaged into an ethernet package, which has to be encrypted, and is routed and replicated across multiple drives. So basically, I would be inclined to write to a local hard drive and only once every hour to NAS. I mean: The server with its DRAM and SSD is located in a physically secured data center. It is immobile. So only when I spread this data across that center, I need to encrypt it. And while I am at it I could also duplicate the data in different data center.

    I have seen that some apps mark my data (as a user) with a persistence marker. I mean they show if AJAX returned 200. Now with this long chain of ever increasing durability of the data, should I not draw some dots for each 9 in the durability?

    I think I can save money when my cloud service provider stops my app when there is no traffic. I think I should get a signal before that so that I can flush all my buffers. In case my web traffic increases ever more, I would like to clone my instance onto a different computer in a different data center. Both clones know each other by their IP address. The user base and, following from that, the data is split over both instances. When users send messages to each other and these users happen to live on different instances, I need to send a message over the network. I would probably bundle some messages from a time frame and send them not only to the other instance but also to the different NAS (log file). Since nothing lasts in the cloud, there is no master. I basically have peer-to-peer architecture. When I start with a fresh project I can take a peek at some Napster clone and use that. If I get my cloud service provider not to kill all my instances at once I could even live without a storage unit.

    I would like to understand why the cloud service offerings are so complicated. I either have to buy whole virtual machines (or even dedicated servers) or am only allowed to write functions without any memory. I mean, analog TV before VHS(memory) was already great, and I like pipelines. They are part of my tool set in C#. But the tool box is much larger, and only very few nails fit to that hammer. I have dictionaries in C#, but they are also just one tool. I cannot understand why everyone tries to squeeze every data structure into a key-value dictionary. It was one of the great advancement in the computer history not to have to deal with a singe data structure (byte array), but to have abstract structures on top of that delivered by frameworks.

    The cloud is like the iPhone: In the beginning it was nice to have an App for this and an App for that. Now there are just too many Apps, and I do not know how to integrate them. The cloud service providers now have just so many Services with many of these doing similar things.

    I really hope that my next project is large enough to justify 3 EC2 machines and then I just store everything in S3...

    How much of Free Code Camp should I complete if my primary goal is to make GIS/mapping applications?

    Posted: 29 Nov 2019 12:26 PM PST

    In my case, I would probably use leaflet and/or geodjango to mainly create (for now) simple GIS/mapping web applications.

    For reference, Free Code Camp is split up by certifications, which are Responsive Web Design, JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures, Front End Libraries, Data Visualization, APIs and Microservices, and Information Security and Quality Assurance.

    This isn't the only thing I have scheduled to learn. I also plan to use python for spatial analysis, statistics, and groundwater modeling.

    thanks,
