| Am I crossing a line here? or just being paranoid? Posted: 27 Mar 2020 06:53 AM PDT My city has a public bus system and on their website, they allow a user to click on a button for a bus, and see the bus location on a map. This is somewhat difficult to use, so I made my own solution. I dug into their website and found an API they were calling which returns some HTML for those buttons. The button elements contained data attributes which had the gps coordinates for each bus. So I wrote my own script to call their api, do a little web scraping, and then use each set of coordinates for each bus to place markers on a google map. This way I can track every bus all in one place. I now have the map publicly available to others in my city because I thought it was useful. Is this something that could land me in trouble with the organization that runs the busses? All I did was take the information they have publicly available on their own website (if you dig for it) and represent it in my own way. Feels wrong for some reason. Edit: added disclaimer to the web page: This application is not affiliated, associated, endorsed by, or in anyway officially connected with COMPANY. The official COMPANY website can be found at https://company.com Edit 2: Emailed the company to ask if I could use their API for my own purposes. Honesty is the best policy. Edit 3: Company responded to me and said they had no issues with this. Edit 4: They warned me that the API was not permanent and could change without warning which I figured already. They then said they would keep me in the loop for when they release a more stable version. Super cooperative [link] [comments]  | ||

| What to do and know before and when creating a big website?What technologies are used? Posted: 27 Mar 2020 07:06 AM PDT First of all thank you all for contributing to this subreddit and to anything on internet. I appreciate all the help to whether it's open source or a simple advice. A little bit background: I have been developing websites for a year and am procifient in front-end and somewhat comfortable with back-end. Technologies I am used to:
To this day I have always been building simple websites with a few pages. All of them are static websites without any CMS. Web Development is not my job or major. I do this as a hobby and wish to get a job in Web Development. I am not proficient and I don't know many things a web developer should know. I feel very ignorant. But I am learning everyday. And now especially this month I have a lot of time because of COVID-19. Now I want to build a big website with:
My QUESTION is : where should I start? What technologies do I use? What do developers use to create huge websites? What to use to change the content on a website everyday as in a blog or courses. What is the best way to include a profile system so that users can see their courses individually. The website I am trying to build is very much like UDEMY. For example I recently learned how to integrate header and footer for every page so I don't have to put them on all the pages one by one. Sorry it is a long question. I appreciate even a little bit of advice. Thank you in advance. Have a nice day! Take care. Edit: grammar and spelling. [link] [comments]  | ||

| The Expert Blind Spot In Software Development Posted: 27 Mar 2020 02:55 AM PDT Hello everybody! Throughout my career, I saw many experienced developers trying to pass their knowledge to others, sometimes without much success. After doing some research to understand why, I stumbled upon the expert blind spot. Since teaching is the best way to learn, I think it's very beneficial for every developer out there to improve their teaching skills. This article will help you doing so, showing you how to go against this expert bling spot. This article will answers these questions:
Let's dive in! https://thevaluable.dev/expert-blind-spot-software-development/ tl;dr:

| Are you guys worried about the imminent recession? Posted: 27 Mar 2020 08:03 AM PDT The title is pretty self-explanatory, is anyone else worried that they might lose their jobs soon, it looks as if there will be a severe recession if things do not improve. Perhaps a few old salty seadogs can offer up some advice for those of us who haven't weathered a recession yet. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Design pattern for “locking” with a server REST API with multiple clients Posted: 27 Mar 2020 04:40 PM PDT Say I have a simple REST api that multiple clients make calls to. Client 1: Gets record for Person A Client 2: Gets record for Person A Client 1: Updates record Person A Client 2: Attempts to update That last step is my question. What's an appropriate design pattern or algorithm to ensure "locking" of a record, so that changes aren't overwriting each other? My thought process is that you would have a date associated with the record. If that date matches, you can update. If the date doesn't match the most recent record, you get a response indicating the record has been updated and that you must get the most recent record to update. I'm guessing this is a common problem, so I wanted to ask. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 27 Mar 2020 04:22 PM PDT Im a developer by hobby and always been working alone. My projects are not big or complicated so I never really got into Git and I just run my web projects on RaspberryPi in LAN. After development I put them on a webhost or to a VPS. I might get into a project with my brother and I have been checking out my chances with my tools. I just got into Visual Studio Code and I use some SSH extension to connect to the raspberry and edit the files. Its great comparing to the FTP extension solutions. So what if my brother gets Visual Studio Code and SSH to the same files, I assume we would be pretty blind about editing the same files at the same time. What I`m asking here is a solution when the project in development is running on a dedicated server (raspberry here), should we use VSC or some other IDE, or get into GIT perhaps? If its VSC, any extensions in recommendation? The project includes a database so its necessary to run on a server while working on it. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Hypothesis: It’s 100% okay to store your auth token in localstorage. Discuss. Posted: 26 Mar 2020 08:47 PM PDT I hear all the time that you shouldn't store auth tokens in localstorage, because if you get hit by an XSS attack, the attacker can pull the token right out of localstorage. Instead you should store it in a secure, HttpOnly cookie which can't be accessed by JavaScript. I get that. But if an attacker gets malicious scripts executing on your site, they could still send authenticated requests and take the HttpOnly cookie along for the ride, right? So either way, if you get hit with XSS it's game over. Therefore, I think it doesn't matter where you store your auth token. Please tell me why I'm wrong. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Are these the proper ways to position/place elements anywhere with CSS? Posted: 27 Mar 2020 04:04 PM PDT Hi! So I use top,left,bottom,right and translate x and y to place elements anywhere on the page. I also use margin to make text go slightly to the right but not centered. I hardly center text and there's less tutorials on how to place it elsewhere. Are these proper practices? Someone schooled me and taught me a lot about things I was doing wrong like I shouldn't use h2 without having h1, etc etc. So I wondered if I was doing this "wrong" as well. Flexbox and grid are seemingly difficult right now and I can't imagine being able to plop elements anywhere I want with them. side note:if anyone wants to practice their tutoring skills with me, i'm down.

| Should I use a CMS or hand-code? Posted: 27 Mar 2020 03:25 AM PDT If I wanted to make a professional looking website (a blog for a university magazine), should I use a CMS, or hand code? If I should use a CMS, which one should I use/do professional web developers use? For background: I've learnt HTML/CSS/JavaScript and React, and did a bit of back-end (node) through the FullStack Helsinki Open course as a hobby in my freetime. I offered to do this for a friend for free so they wouldn't have to pay someone - but I think they really want it to look professional and not janky, and I'm not really sure what professionals use. Do they hand-code stuff? Anyway thanks for reading/replying [link] [comments]  | ||

| Need help with getting advanced YouTube analytics data Posted: 27 Mar 2020 02:12 PM PDT I can get info on average views, view duration, but I need to look at data on individual viewer basis. I want to at least figure out for each person who watched the video how long did they watch it for. For example, if 200 people watched a video, I want a list of 200 watch times, one for each viewer. I would love even more info about each viewer but if someone can help me out with this that would be great. these are the URLs I've been looking at if someone has experience with this and knows how to do it or can point me in the right direction please let me know.

| Need help, table with timers on each row? Posted: 27 Mar 2020 02:04 PM PDT Hi all, I am working on a quick turn around project for our company. We have a table with an entry on each row. One of the columns contains a timestamp. Is there a quick and easy way to use javascript to show a count-up timer on each row updated each second to show how long a row has been in the table? Basically, we want the column to be "waiting for" and show a read out of hh:mm:ss that is live and counting as you look at the page. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 27 Mar 2020 01:52 PM PDT I'm looking to build a simple 4-5 page website for a family members tree service business. I'm looking in advice as far as which service/services I should use. I'm currently using godaddy and their website builder which work great, but I'm not crazy about having to pay a monthly fee for eternity just to keep the website live. Hosting I understand, but not a monthly fee after the website has already been developed. I'm relatively familiar with HTML, PHP, and CSS but have been out of the loop for 7-8 years. I don't have the time to refresh, research, and build from scratch. I've been told Wordpress is a good platform but know nothing about it. Any advice on where to start and what services to use would be greatly appreciated. TIA [link] [comments]  | ||
| How do you store and use OAuth 1.0 tokens with serverless backends? Posted: 27 Mar 2020 01:43 PM PDT I'm using GCP as my serverless backend, and my application involves allowing users to login w/ Twitter and using the given OAuth1.0 access tokens/secret to check their profile, tweet for them, etc. Where is it safe to store these access tokens and secrets? I've done some googling but haven't found a straight answer especially re: serverless setups. I assume storing them unencrypted in my DB isn't okay, so should I be using GCP Secret Manager perhaps? Encrypting them at rest with a Cloud Functions env variable as the secret and then decrypting at runtime? Something else? [link] [comments]  |
