Charities and the advertising industry: data ecosystems and privacy risks. 92% of UK charity websites load cookies before consent web developers

I wanted to know which framework to consider more seriously for a new backend, but seemed a lot of benchmarks were outdated, so I wrote one today, and I'll be honest: I haven't used either of these frameworks/technologies much at all in any recent years (Go minimally, and I used to be a .NET programmer around 2005).

Anyway, I'm not entirely sure if this test is completely fair or accurate, but I tried to match the code approach for each as closely as possible. For instance, there has been a lot of rave about .NET Core and its performance, but it seems to be waaaay slower than Go. Can anyone with some proficiency in .NET Core (Web APIs) take a quick look at the source code and see if I'm doing something completely wrong here? Is this possibly because .NET Core 5.0 is in RC (I tested both development and production builds), or because I'm running it on a Mac (it's "cross-platform", isn't it? ;p)?

I will probably add some other results to this benchmark soon, for instance .NET Core 3.0 (Stable), and also would like to test Java (with Spring Boot) against them, maybe Rust. I will also add some other concurrencies/max requests once I've confirmed the source code is on par with each other.

If anyone has any suggestions to modify the benchmark, or has questions on setting it up on their own platform, feel free to reply.

Update: Added JSON-only test to avoid hitting the DB/using any DB driver.

Where do I start with building a web app? I'm a complete beginner and lost

Posted: 22 Sep 2020 06:27 AM PDT

There seems to be a lot of info out there and it's a bit overwhelming. I have experience in C, C++, Python but to when it comes to building a web app I am really lost - there seems to be an abundance of programming languages. Not only that but I just don't understand the organization of the web app :how does database, backend, front-end all fit together? How do I host or put up my web app? Where do I start with code? What other things am I missing? Can someone guide me? I would really like to gain some experience and do my own project but as you can tell I'm pretty lost. Thank you in advance.

I’m a new freelancer and I’m unsure of how much I should charge. Any advice?

Posted: 22 Sep 2020 09:08 AM PDT

I'm going to code both front-end and back-end from scratch and it uses socketio for real time synchronisation. How much should I charge? All it does is display information about the company and allows clients to make appointments from the website.

How likely is it that if you fix and reupload a broken (but active) extension that Chrome will remove it from the Chrome store for "copying"?

Posted: 22 Sep 2020 07:55 AM PDT

This chrome extension has a few hundred thousand users and hasn't been updated for the past two years. Thus, it has ceased to work for the past year or so, dropping it's rating from 5 stars to 3 stars.

The source code is available for this extension. I could fix the problem and relaunch it as "[Old name] Relaunched" or "[Old name] Revived". My only concern is it getting removed from the chrome store due to "copying another extension", even though that extension is broken.

Anyway to use "Inspect" to download an e-textbook?

Posted: 22 Sep 2020 03:37 PM PDT

I'm sorry if this is the wrong sub for this. If anyone knows what sub this would be better for, if you could please direct me that'd be awesome.

Okay, so quick backstory, in one of my online courses a while back, I paid for the physical copy of the book, and got a 4 month (the length of 1 semester) e-textbook. What I ended up doing was using "Inspect", scrolled through the coding, found a link, opened the link in a new tab, where it was the entire e-textbook, where I was able to then hit "Print", then "Save as PDF". So now, I have the e-textbook for good (idk why this isn't already an option for those who already bought the textbook, but that's another conversation).

Anyways, my friend is going through schooling again to switch careers, and he's a little rattled at the textbooks. Basically, he bought ones from his college's online bookstore, he was surprised they were only about $10 cheaper than he it had showed at the beginning of the year, but then came his mail, where he got 5 online codes for e-textbooks. As many probably know, these e-textbooks are 4 month rentals for $10 less, rather than downright owning the copy. That's where he remembered my story above.

He asked if there was any way he would be able to now download the e-textbook as he's already paid for it, and would rather own it instead of having it as simply an expensive 4 month rental.

That being said, he asked me to log in to his account online, access the e-textbook, and see if there was any way I could download it. However, it seems it's near impossible to do this now (the last one I did was 3 years ago, so maybe things have changed?).

Anyways, does anyone know of a way for me to be able to download the e-textbook for him?

Again, he's paid for the e-textbook (4 month rental), he just wanted to actually own the thing after the 4 months were up (especially since his program would use the same theories, formulas, etc in the next semester). Of course, if this is considered piracy, I entirely understand and wouldn't argue if this got removed (as I do believe there is a way to pay for an extension or something after the 4 months is up, but I'm not too sure to be honest).

Thanks in advance!

I spent the whole day learning how to code a goddamn header

Posted: 22 Sep 2020 02:00 PM PDT

I spent 11 hours researching on google and trying to find a way to make my header work. Sometimes my title would stay stuck at the top left corner of my screen, othertimes my navigation bar links wouldn't want to become inline:block for some random reason and many other weird stuff.

I'm still new to coding but goddamn, headers are tough as hell to code. It was the most frustrating thing I've ever done in my entire life.

Is this normal or am I just the slowest dude alive?..

UPDATE: My web dev roadmap

Posted: 21 Sep 2020 04:59 PM PDT

Yesterday I posted a roadmap on this sub yesterday on web dev asking about my roadmap. Thanks to some helpful comments and some further research on my own, I have a full complete roadmap.

Some background of me and programming: I already know C#, mainly use it with Unity, I also know Java for Android Studio, and lastly Python for general coding.

So anyways here's my roadmap:

Side Technologies: Git / Github, Basic Command Lines (macos terminal)

Basic HTML, CSS
Responsive Web Design with HTML and CSS
Basic Deployment:
1. Get a domain name
2. Manage hosting with cPanel
3. FTP/SFTP File Uploader - Filezilla
4. Static Hoster - Github
Vanilla Javascript
JS: Dom Events (links with HTML)
JS: JSON
JS: Fetch API (Request/Response/Ajax)
JS: ES6
Sass
~~CSS Framework: Bootstrap~~
Front-End Framework: React JS
Back-End Framework: Node JS
Relational Database: MySQL
NoSQL Database: MongoDB
GraphQL: Apollo (Query language)

Unresolved questions: What do I need to know to connect front-end to back-end?

For my IDE I'm planning to use Webstorm, I'd be doing a lot of Javascript at the start so it would be the best idea.

Thanks!

Looking for some ideas for my Web Design Lab Project to be done with only HTML, CSS And JS.

Posted: 22 Sep 2020 06:41 AM PDT

I need help coming up with ideas since the only things I found was generic stuff like an e-commerce site and multiple times of timers/clocks and most of those topics were already taken by my classmates.

My fallback plan is to just make a snake game and on game over it tells you "Oh by the way, while you were playing this game X people died of COVID19 and X were diagnosed with it. Do you want to see a graph?"

Any good local community websites out there?

Posted: 22 Sep 2020 11:59 AM PDT

I have secured a .biz for my local region (population of 500,000 with 4 cities within it). I was thinking of offering out free blog posts to local businesses who have news, and offering a newsletter with special offers from local businesses. At first I won't charge. I'd also have a directory of businesses, but that's a bit redundant with Google Maps/local, but good for SEO linking. Also thinking of businesses for sale listings, equipment for sale, perhaps a forum for business owner discussion. Anyone else seen a successful site doing this? Or is this a 90's idea that will be yet another ghosttown site.

What are some good Angular libraries similar to Jquery?

Posted: 22 Sep 2020 09:42 AM PDT

Hello everyone!

I've been reading a lot of articles talking about how Jquery is a bit old fashioned, so I wanted to learn a new library that provides all of the same functionality but is a bit more modern. I was wondering what the most popular choices for web animation libraries are in 2020?

I specifically want to be able to move things on the screen as the user scrolls! :)

Thank you!

I have a menu button on a responsive site that shows on pc, but not on smartphone, any ideas?

Posted: 22 Sep 2020 09:30 AM PDT

Here's the website joself.ch

If you resize the browser on pc it works fine, the three lines show up, but on my smartphone not at all, well, visually not at all, I can still click it.

Looking online all I'm getting is to put this in the header:

but that's been in my headers for years, so that's not the problem.

here's the code on github, I can be more precise if needed (css file and menu.php).

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Client ask if he needs a database

Posted: 22 Sep 2020 02:44 AM PDT

Hi,

I'm having a client who wants me to build a simple app for showing data. Nothing crazy.

Thing is, I feel like the client is not very at ease with technology, so I'm explaining in the most comprehensive way how it works.

They have a CSV file containing all the data he wants to show in the app. I asked if they have any server and they don't.

I'm currently explaining the difference between a server database and a local one, and what are the pros and cons of each solution, and which one they want to use for their app.

For me, it's clear that they need a server database containing their CSV file,(or converted SQL tables), which they can update easily like they use.

Can a CSV be used as a database directly ? Or I should convert everything to SQL tables / collections ?

It also need to be easy for them to modify the data, so I'm wondering if there is a framework/CMS that make this easy for them.

I'm asking because I'm more of a frontend dev, I've done some backend stuffs but I'm far from having the experience some of you have !

I cannot make the header and it's content in a row by applying flex in CSS.
