    Googling 'marquee html' - the result count is a marquee!

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 02:39 AM PDT

    It's probably an old easter egg, but I'd never seen it before. Made me smile :)

    Changes in the upcoming PostCSS 8.0

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 12:41 PM PDT

    Went to an interview and they didn't ask any technical questions. Was offered the job, but I don't think I have the skills they're after. What do I do?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2020 04:47 PM PDT

    I was offered a contract role at a start-up. During the interview we only lightly touched on the technical side of things. I was expecting to be quizzed more on actual code but it never came up.

    I was offered the job but the requirements seem to be more than what I can do - they want a senior react developer when I only have about 6 months experience (I did make this clear during the interview).

    This is a short-term contract, so I doubt they would want to spend the time training me up.

    What should I do?

    Was there a point in history when you said "Ok, we have entered Web 2.0"?

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 08:52 AM PDT

    Hello! I was recently looking into Web 3.0, and I saw lots of potential routes where it could go and what it would look like. I wasn't around for the official Web 2.0 transition but looking into all the 3.0 possibilities made me wounder how do we would know when we have entered the 3.0 era or are in a transition period.

    So I ask, was there a flag for you senior devs that made you accept that we had transitioned to Web 2.0 back in the day?

    If a website is never linked to, can it EVER be found by crawlers?

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 12:29 PM PDT

    This is just a random thought experiment, and I lack some knowledge here.

    Ignoring brute force of trying every possible ascii character for a website name, let's say I have www.mywebsite.com.

    If no links are manually added to point to this page, can anyone find it? Could a crawler possibly find this on domain name hosting sites, or something similar? Maybe some tool other than a crawler eventually will index it somehow?

    What is the benefit to using API testing tools like Postman vs. making an http request and asserting response?

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 01:36 PM PDT

    Trying to understand how they benefit vs. using Chai/Mocha + Node + fetch/axios? I am trying to write a test suite that will assert responses from multiple microservices. One disadvantage to tools like postman is that you have very little control and not debuggable as well.

    Choosing a stack for small static websites

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 12:08 PM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I'm currently helping a couple friends with their rather small personal websites. I'm not a professional webdev but I know my way around HTML and CSS, know some JS and have worked with WordPress sites in the past. For these sites, however, WordPress would be overkill and I'm looking for other solutions as I want to take this as a learning opportunity.

    Naturally I've taken a look at static site generators that seem to be all the rage at the moment. The sites I'm working on will be landing pages, maybe some more extensive texts, but no blogposts and nothing that needs to be updated regularly, if ever.

    In particular I've taken a look at Gatsby and Hugo. Even these two might be overkill for what I'm doing, as I've seen a post with an example project for Svelte/Sapper, and many comments suggested just writing such a website in HTML/CSS/JS from scratch.

    I'm still drawn to these more complete solutions for two reasons: first, future-proofing my skills. And second, they seem to offer things that are helpful even for sites this small which would take me longer to do myself, like automatically generating images in different sizes, lazy-loading etc.

    Gatsby sure seems very hyped up and the project seems very welcoming. At the same time, I'm not sure how much I really want to learn React and use it for websites this small, let alone manage its npm dependencies, just to take advantage of things like the image processing. On the other hand, learning Hugo seems like a rather isolated and not easily transferable skill should the opportunity present itself to build more complex websites in the future.

    I've read a few comparisons online but most of them tend to be a bit generic and just go over the fact sheets. "If you want to use something written in Go, choose Hugo. If you want to write React, choose Gatsby." I'd be interested in more real-world-y experiences. Doing this as a side-project I know there'll be things I haven't even considered and I'd love to hear your advice.

    Perfect example of a nightmare client in the making (job post)

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 03:53 PM PDT

    https://www.wphired.com/wordpress-job/christmas-lights-creations-llc-freelance-website-redesign-for-2-existing-wordpress-woocommerce-sites/

    Red flags:

    They're offering $50/hour for someone with 8 years of experience

    They want to use two totally disparate themes

    The way they state "You will NOT have access to the C-Panel"

    The way they state "DO NOT ask to be paid in advance" and "We will NOT offset the Pay Pal transaction fee."

    Just a warning to folks out there who might consider applying that this has all the signs of a nightmare client so you may want to reconsider!

    My website rejects HTTP requests after they've been requested multiple times? How do fix this?

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 03:37 PM PDT

    I currently run .php files in loops by having the urllib library in Python execute URLs. I've noticed that they stop working or only work some of the time after I've run them several times.

    The only feedback I get in cmd from python is "http.client.HTTPResponse object at <some hex value>"

    Seems like my IP or the header or something is getting added to a list to prevent spamming/ddosing. Is there any way I can give it permission or take it off the block list?

    How does facebook notify others of seeing their message + how to block it?

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 02:50 PM PDT

    I have the new version of facebook (Canary release:not everyone is able to use it yet, you get randomly selected) using google chrome on dekstop.

    I used to have a chrome extension that would block the outgoing php packages so it would not notify the person that I am talking to that I had seen their message, but this new version of facebook does not send outgoing PHP packages, in fact it sends no outgoing packages at all when reading a message.

    Yet, as soon as I press on the messenger window my friend sees me 'reading' the message. How is this possible and how can I block it?

    In the included picture I listened for all the packages being sent and received. Whenever I get a message a graphql package shows up, but when I click on the message nothing goes out. I tried blocking all of these with request blocking but nothing changed.

    I wanted to include a picture to show the network traffic I saw on the google chrome network dialog but can't include one. It shows a graphql package whenever I GET a message, but nothing gets send back when I 'read' the message. -> name: graphql/ Status: 200 Type: xhr Initiator: 9Xe.... Size: 278b Time: 444ms

    Looking for people that want to engage in an open source project [NodeJS]

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 02:45 PM PDT

    Hi!

    I've decided that i want to engage more into open source programming.

    Combining this with a project idea i came up with a couple of days ago, i've come to the conclusion that it would be a lot of fun to find some people that want to join me on this project. I am looking for both experienced and inexperienced programmers, as the main goal of this project is to learn and develop our skills while having fun and experimenting with new things.

    Here's a link to the project https://github.com/MathiasWP/Easy-Posting, where i've written a more explanatory letter.

    Stay home, wash your hands and be safe!

    If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me in PMs or down below in the comments. ☺️

    Server Side Email Link-Only Authentication for NodeJS?

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 02:39 PM PDT

    Here's what I'm trying to do:

    • Limit user registration to one particular e-mail domain (e.g. "@company.com")
    • Let users from this domain sign in to my site using only their e-mail address
      • User goes to login page, enters e-mail address and clicks Verify
      • User receives login link in e-mail and clicks it
      • User is redirected back to the site and is now logged in
    • Verify a user is signed in before accessing certain pages
      • My first thought is to setup some middleware for my routes (server-side check)

    Can somebody recommend a strategy or service that could achieve this?

    Thus far I have been pulling my hair out trying to setup Firebase, which I believe is a client side auth method. I have also not been able to find a Passport strategy that supports this setup, at least not yet.

    Setting up firebase in general is just confusing the heck out of me and I don't think I even need it? I have all of my routes written in node, I'm hosting with heroku and using MongoDB Atlas for my db.

    I was finding it cumbersome to authenticate in the browser and then pass auth data from the client to the server and back, so I would love if I could find some way to keep the actual authenticating process limited to either the client or server entirely, if possible.

    I also got a bunch of cross-site resource errors trying to load the firebase cdn in the browser so that wasn't very encouraging either.

    This is only my second time setting up an auth strategy and I'm new to involving e-mail, so I would really appreciate some thoughts or resources that y'all might have. The business decision is to stick with e-mail link-only authentication due to ease of use and the domain restriction, but if there are other similar easy-to-use methods I'm all ears.

    Thanks everybody hope everyone is staying healthy out there!

    Fill in complete form by dropdown selection

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 02:24 PM PDT

    On some sites you can see that by selecting a value from a dropdown a lot of fields of a form is automatically filled in for you. What is the terminology for this as it is hard to find howto's without the proper name.

    What I want is that by selecting a customer from a list of customers from a dropdown list, I want to automatically fill in the address and specific information of that customer so repetitive typing of fields is reduced.

    I'm trying to create a dynamic website that can save user's data, connect to a database to retrieve said data. What is the fastest way to deploy something like this?

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 01:35 PM PDT

    Are there services that already do this? I'm pretty sure I can do this myself using firebase. I do have web dev knowledge in building websites, using APIs. But I've never put everything together.

    I'm just trying to do this quickly for a service that I have in mind, that I want to give out.

    How do I get my .htaccess file to redirect to https://

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 01:29 PM PDT

    Hi all. My project pages are showing the 'connection not secure' lock in firefox and chrome. I purchased a certificate through the hosting provider, uploaded it to my htdocs folder and ran a validity check on ssllabs. All seems fine.

    The last piece of the puzzle is to modify my .htacess file for the https: part. I tried to add the following code from this post to my .htaccess file:

    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)$ [NC] RewriteRule (.*) https://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]

    I was getting the www.www.example.com error, so I changed it to 

    RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    The problem now is that my sub-pages aren't loading at all, or are erroring. I had added some other lines to the .htaccess file to change the URLs. I copied this from stack, so im not sure if one of the other rewrites is causing a problem. Hope someone can help. Code below. Thanks.

    Options -Indexes # Apache Rewrite Rules <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)$ [NC] RewriteRule (.*) https://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]] # Add trailing slash to url RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/|#(.*))$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [R=301,L] # Remove .php-extension from url RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ $1.php # Remove .php-extension from url RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ $1.html # End of Apache Rewrite Rules </IfModule>

    Simple, lightweight CMS for a existing HTML5 site.

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 01:19 PM PDT

    Hi people...

    ​

    I create an small site (1-3 page max) with bootstrap. Like landing page, pages for events, etc etc... nothing really complicated. Them I need to change text like 100 of time until is finally approved.

    I'm looking for a way for other person to edit this page. Just text, maybe change the pictures. As you see, nothing really complicated.

    As can I imagine this in my head is just a back-end and them after login, they can:

    A. Go to the frontend and change text directly, maybe images

    or

    B. In the back end, have modules where you change the text.

    ​

    Is a really simple, basic, CMS.

    As you see for this situation, Wordpress / Drupal / Joolma is overkill. Too complicated for what I need. I dont need plugins, comments, users, themes.

    Also, I dont have access to SSH on the server, I just have access to FTP. I said this because I checked some solutions and the required to install the CMS over the terminal.

    Need to be a free.

    Newb question: does an iframe destroy the website when many people use it simultaneously?

    Posted: 06 Apr 2020 01:07 PM PDT

    Thanks for reading, sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm pretty much a beginner when it comes to webdev having thaught myself the basics I need for my profession (as an educational designer).

    So a client of mine wants an educational virtual tour. All industry standard software allows for iframe embedding because (i think) A: its a good way to not overload clients websites with interactive content and B: it allows these software companies to sell their optimized server space on a subscription base generating long term income.

    A client of mine is worried that an iframe will tax their own website too much if say 500 users are using it at the same time.

    My newb instincts tell me that is not with for the clients website to handle but for the server the iframe content is linked to.

    Am I right? Is the truth somewhere in the middle? Please help me so I can reassure my client. Thank you so much for helping!
