    twitter.com and stackoverflow.com IE redirect to Edge behavior

    Posted: 02 Sep 2020 10:21 AM PDT

    When you visit twitter.com or stackoverflow.com in Internet Explorer 11, Windows opens Edge for you and redirects you to the site in Edge, while redirecting IE to a Microsoft site informing you that IE isn't supported by the site. The behavior is different from putting `microsoft-edge:` in front of your redirect URL, because it doesn't request your permission to open in Edge, it just does it. I suspect there is some kind of special IE -> Windows -> Edge behavior happening here distinct from typical redirects.

    Does anyone know how this is accomplished?

    When is it appropriate to no longer support a certain browser or version?

    Posted: 02 Sep 2020 01:02 PM PDT

    Is it based on age, feature set, security, updates? In my mind it's a combination of all the above and then some. My company is developing a web application for business use and I've flat out told the developers to not worry about supporting any version of IE or legacy versions of Edge, Chrome, Safari. It's not difficult to download the latest version of chrome or edge or whatever and it's not worth the developers time to support aging browsers.

    [motivational post] what a month has August been.

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 09:47 PM PDT

    August was almost my record month, and today, Sep. 1st I'm half way already...

    Closed a record deal today!!! $27.5k for the design stage of an app and website.

    Today marked the first step towards the growth I've been searching for.

    But I'm not saying growth because of the number, I'm saying it because I legit felt that I figured out how to only work with people I like working with.

    This client clearly respects my opinion and suggestions. He is responsive even though he is super busy and makes an effort to let me know if he missed my call or email.

    How did I get here? 7 years of mistakes. Taking on projects that I know damn well I shouldn't then regretting later on.

    Each project I learned what areas needed improvement so that the next project goes better.

    Some of you may say "he is bragging", well yea it's in my name to do that. But really I'm just trying to show you that it is possible. I remember charging $750-1600 for a full website and thinking that was good.

    Then I heard $20-30k and was like how is that even possible. Now I know it is and think that those numbers are small even.

    Hope this inspires you to push through whatever stops you currently.

    Why exactly is Angular preferred for enterprise apps over say, React?

    Posted: 02 Sep 2020 08:31 AM PDT

    I'm a little unclear on the exact pros and cons, but for some reason I see Angular get a bad rep yet a lot of enterprise apps, including my own job, use it

    Help with development workflow

    Posted: 02 Sep 2020 11:46 AM PDT

    So I have been learning web dev for a while here, and now feel quite comfortable with most of the tools I regularly use (Python + Django + Vanilla Javascript/HTML/CSS). Unfortunately, I find that maybe 60% of my time is wasted trying to get my local dev environment off the ground. Without complaining too much, here are some of the issues I've encountered.

    Pipenv and pip both seem to break randomly. For instance, today after coming back from a quick detour and trying to run my local server the same way I had just 10 minutes ago: "Python - manage.py - no such file or directory". I ran the 'dir' command, and manage.py is right there in my directory. Now I guess I'll spend 2-4 hours on stack overflow troubleshooting this.

    Meanwhile, I often can't get docker applications working at all (maybe because I'm using Windows 10 WSL). And the one big benefit that was promised - to prevent configuration errors when deploying - never payed off for me. The single docker-based project I managed to deploy only worked when I changed some of my settings, but is now broken in my local dev environment.

    If anyone else has been through this hell, could you please provide some guidance or tips for how to streamline things? I'm completely open to alternatives, but I don't think this is sustainable.

    Question about character movement simulation libraries

    Posted: 02 Sep 2020 03:11 PM PDT

    I'm looking for a simple library that will let me manipulate movement of a character in a physics-enabled environment. Is there anything out there that exists for React or Python?

    Basically, I just want to be able to manipulate a character's limbs & joints programmatically in a 3D world. Kind of like that game QWOP but 3d. I'm specifically looking for a library built in python/javascript.

    Thanks for your help!

    Help with my registration flow/account verification?

    Posted: 02 Sep 2020 01:22 PM PDT

    I'm working on the registration flow for my web app but I think i'm making it too complicated (code/logic wise) and would love insight on how to simplify it if possible.

    In my Node web app with Postgres database there are Organizations and there are Users (one Organization can have many Users). Organizations must have unique names globally. Users have a unique (email + organization_id) composite key, allowing users to use the same email for multiple Organizations while still being separate accounts.

    In my registration process, when a user signs up with an organization name and email, first the Organization is created and then the User is created with their email + new organization's id, making them the owner of that organization.

    The User account starts with "verified: false" and they are sent a verification email, when they click the link it directs them to my app which sets "verified: true" and it's done. If they do not verify their account, I will have a separate helper server setup running a CRON job every 30 minutes (or so), that checks for accounts created in the last 24 hours that are unverified and deletes the account. It will also have to check if the account was the owner of the organization, if so it will need to delete the organization as well to prevent "orphaning" organizations without any members (or specifically without an owner).

    Does this seem like a normal flow?

    Want to design a portion of a website that allows a user to create folders and submit files that are on display to other users

    Posted: 02 Sep 2020 12:33 PM PDT

    Hey web development community.

    I am undertaking a project to develop a website for my partner's father which is a bit over my head.

    Her father essentially wants the ability to login, and submit files in a folder structure that is similar to an ordinary filesystem in an operating system - but on display to other users.

    I would like to develop this website from scratch but am open to the idea of using a content management system. I would like someone to help point me in the right direction.

    My current idea or breakdown of how such a site would work is as follows:

    -Have a navigation style bar with links such as "upload file" and "create folder".

    the upload file: relatively straightforward, upload and display in a list format or as an image indicating its filetype (will mostly be pdf's).

    create folder: I figure each folder is essentially a new html webpage. I was thinking of attempting to script a js function that creates a new webpage that has the 'filesystem' structure, and uploads it onto the server, with each site created having the ability for further create either links for new 'folders' or new files.

    also within the structure he will have the ability to delete files or folders.

    Is this something achievable as someone who is only just starting out learning JS? Is my methodology the correct way of approaching it? Is this something i could do with JS? Is there another way of approaching this using a cms instead?

    Why isn't iPhone 11 available in Chrome DevTools as an Emulated Device?

    Posted: 02 Sep 2020 11:44 AM PDT

    https://imgur.com/a/Rq39bDd

    I need to figure out the value of window.innerWidth for an iPhone 11, but it's not one of the available devices in Chrome. I spent some time googling, and I don't see anyone talking about it.

    I can figure out the innerWidth from other places online, but this is a feature I would've expected to already be there in Chrome. Anyone know why it's not available?

    How do I make an interactive webapp that has 'drag and drop features' like Canva?

    Posted: 02 Sep 2020 11:39 AM PDT

    I have made a few simple websites powered with Flask on the backend that involves a bit of Ajax and basic javascript, but I feel lost in the ocean of web dev frameworks. I have little to no idea about React, Angular, etc.

    But with this particular goal in mind of creating a drag and drop based web-app, can someone please guide me in the right direction of what framework should I learn?

    And also, is it possible to utilise the same web-app's code and turn it into an app for Android/iOS? I recently installed Visual Studio Code, but it has seperate templates for everything, and I feel it can't do the job of accomplishing this.

    Anybody knows where to find good background code stock videos?

    Posted: 02 Sep 2020 11:27 AM PDT

    I've been searching for videos like this one, which do not come with an insane price tag (not over $10 per video) nor with a restrictive licence (basically, nothing that limits things such as when/where you can use the video after buying it).

    So far, everything I've found either has an extremely high price (like the one above), or a horrible licence (like this site).

    Any of you guys saw of such a unicorn before? And if so, where?

    Question about React component patterns...

    Posted: 02 Sep 2020 11:10 AM PDT

    I'm getting used to using hooks for component state management in React. I have a question about patterns. I'm making functional components and I'm not sure where is best to store the state.

    Let's say I have a ParentComponent that has two ChildComponents inside it.

    Scenario 1: The ChildComponents are totally dumb. Their state is stored on the ParentComponent and passed in as props. Changes are sent back up to the ParentComponent.
    Advantages: State is stored in only one place, so things are more responsive.
    Disadvantages: ChildComponents cannot be easily reused because they can't function on their own.

    Scenario 2: ChildComponents store their own state, only passing changes up to the ParentComponent, which must also store this state in order to act on it, or pass it from one Child to the other, etc. Advantages: ChildComponents are independent of the Parent. Disadvantages: State is being stored in two places.

    I keep coming back to this question, and find myself rewriting my components over and over. Is one of these scenarios generally preferred over the other?

    Never ending projects - Scaling a software development agency

    Posted: 02 Sep 2020 10:44 AM PDT

    These last few months have been insane. We are a 1 year old web development agency and we have already doubled our fees, in like 3 multiple occasions throughout the past 4 months. Mostly due to the unbelievable amount of demand there is for software development in general (due to the global context we are undergoing) which allows you to be picky and charge more, logically...

    We used to only work with short-term, 1-2 month projects but started getting into bigger projects (4 - 6 months). And I have come to realize how easy it is, in this industry, to dig one's own grave by saying yes to more than what you can handle! lol.

    Of course we assess our potential time through the period of time concerning the project, our current workforce, and make a decision based on that. Its not like we blindly say yes to everything. But even with this considerations put in place, we still have a hard time predicting a projects evolution overtime.

    There are so many things that can vary. So much that can go wrong. Even if you do everything right, it is rarely the case that you have a cliente who is putting the time and attention required for the project to advance without reaching a stalemate. You can deliver 100% but if you have an inactive client that constantly disappears inadvertently or takes a ridiculous amount of time to provide the feedback needed, then the project will continue to stretch overtime.

    This makes it so hard for us to try to scale. We have already gone from a team of two to six. And I still have a hard time understanding if I should be doubling my workforce or building better processes (probably a little bit of both) or accepting that this is the just the game we are on. I am constantly trying to be bold with my decisions but also not too greedy to end up buying myself a future problem.

    I would like to hear someoneelse's experience on scaling an agency, and managing projects in general. Or anything you can share relatable to what I just described. I am currently in much need of this advice. Thank you! :)
