    Anyone ever manage to register an Eritrean (.er) domain?

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 07:35 AM PDT

    It just wasn't possible for many years but I notice a few registrars come up for it now. They all look vaguely dodgy though, I can't see any of the big boys offering them. Have any of you managed to get one?

    How do you ideate a new website design/create a mockup?

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 10:54 AM PDT

    New webdev here. I've been jumping right into VS code to create sites and designing as I go, but I think creating the design in full first then just coding it out would be much more productive. My question is: What tools and/or methods do you use when you're working on coming up with a new design or creating a mockup?

    Udemy - Don't just buy at first price...

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 01:00 PM PDT

    So I was interested in learning Angular, so while out waiting in a drive through, I got looking at courses, and came across this one:

    https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-guide-to-angular-2/

    I have also done his course on React, and like his teaching, so decided to purchase it when I come home. On mobile, it was showing the price of $15 "for 5 hours only", An hour later at home, go to bring it up, in Firefox, $109.... I thinking, ok, maybe it has a cookie to say I've used this browser with an account, so the $15 was if it never detected you logging into udemy... Go to Chrome, same link... 94.99... I log in on both browsers, prices stay the same. However Chrome was "Welcome back Greg" (and then just asking for password), so I guess it was that one that had the cookie knowing i had logged in before, so a $15 discount...

    Now note, I'm not following links that have tracking codes associated with them, just using the link above... So go back to my phone, add to card, checkout, get it for $15...

    Always comparison shop :)

    EDIT, after posting, I got realizing... I did buy at first price... as in this case it was cheapest... but hope you get the point to double check... They seem to be like SitePoint, usually most things have a discount somewhere :)

    What stack to pick for a web browser game like Ogame?

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 04:13 PM PDT

    I want to create some generic web browser game and I am unsure about the stack.

    I am skilled in Angular 2+ and pretty much that's it. Should I go for .Net Core 3 or node.js with mongo? Or maybe I should drop Angular and try React? On the other hand I really wanted to use PrimeNG for the first time since it got updated recently. I really don't know, any help appreciated.

    Anyone dealt with HIPAA before?

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 03:03 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I know this is kinda a medical question but I suppose there could be people here that have dealt with this issue that could potentially help.

    I have a client that wants to accept patient forms / documents through their website.

    If their G Suite account already has a BAA and we're using SSL on the website, is having a form send a pdf to the email account (without storing it server side) compliant?

    I've done my fair share of Googling and I haven't really come up with a concrete answer on whether or not they would be compliant in this scenario.

    Thanks in advance

    Learn CSS Centering

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 09:49 AM PDT

    What should I learn to get some freelance jobs? I am familiar with programming concepts and designed a few static web sites before and a pretty simple game.

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 07:14 AM PDT

    Not the first time I code but I have never done it for money so I need a little guide on what specifically to learn so I can get some online jobs. Side income would be very helpful to me right now.

    I would prefer building web applications than designing but I am okay with learning anything. Feel free to suggest whatever you think is suitable.

    If you can offer some tips to get accepted for the jobs online, I would be grateful!

    Does anyone have some tips/resources for distributing fonts via a CDN?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 07:09 PM PDT

    I would love it if anyone had some info on setting up a stable, scaleable public CDN geared towards font distribution. Curious about potential pitfalls.

    We're trying to cut out third party font hosts. We'll be using our open-source typeface, so licensing isn't a concern.

    I started working on a template , it' a static portfolio site, the site when published on github pages loads well as it's intended to be but after uploading it to my hostsilo cpanel some CSS and js is lost , what i am missing here.

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 12:39 PM PDT

    Solved. I deleted all the cpanel files and uploaded my website in public_html . Turns out there were some residual of wp template that i used earlier was affecting it.

    Where can a Firefox extension store secure data?

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 08:46 AM PDT

    I want to store a login token for an extension I am working on so I looked up the extension storage API in Firefox. However this warns "The storage area is not encrypted and shouldn't be used for storing confidential user information.". It then completely fails to mention what CAN be used for secure storage.

    A quick google brought up a SO post from 6 years back saying there is NO secure storage for Firefox extensions. Has anything changed since then?

    Also I can't find a definitive answer for whether extensions can read other extension's storage - I would presume not, but then again I presumed there must be some secure storage available for extensions!

    I'm planning to build a library of stock footage similar to FilmSupply. Is this the best stack?

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 12:16 PM PDT

    For one of my first big projects, I want to build an easily searchable library of stock video footage that one could sell/license a la carte to users. In terms of system design, I'm currently thinking of building it out using AWS to store the media, and GraphQL to build out the API to retrieve video files, but curious if I should take anything into consideration regarding the front end, as I'm most comfortable with the React/Javascript arena but not sure if I will run into issues with delivering video content and making it available to download. Is there anything I can consider now to save myself a headache in the future?

    Which AWS Service Is Best For A Single Page (PHP)

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 12:05 PM PDT

    So, this is my first time hosting something outside of an s3 bucket, and wow do I feel overwhelmed. So, I'll explain what I'm trying to do, and hopefully someone here can help me make sense of AWS's vast service library.

    I have a client that is running an eccomerce wix site. He knows nothing about coding, and hasn't needed to until this point. He wants to implement a custom design builder for his product (think t-shirt maker). That's way above my skill level, but he said that he found a jQuery app that he could license for $30, and would pay me to make it work for his solution.

    The plan:

    1. Have him list a "custom" design option in his wix site so that we don't have to worry about making another pay gate (done)
    2. Recreate the front end of one of his Wix pages (removing their chat bot, log in, and cart buttons) (done)
    3. Embed the 3rd party jQuery/PHP App, and configure it for their needs (done)
    4. Host (???)
    5. Profit $$$

    So, I have built webpages before that I host in s3 buckets for other clients, and I even set up a lambda function to work for a contact form. I've never worked with PHP though, and that is how this app runs. So, I set up an apache server on my localhost using XAMPP. Everything works great, and I'm ready to deploy to the web.

    All I need to do is have a server that is running apache, and can store files needed to serve a single html page.

    I tried making an ec2 instance, and I'm running into issues. I went to youtube for help, and now I'm not so sure I'm even using the correct service. This is a niche market (custom skins for a name brand cannabis vaporizer), and I know that this will not need a lot of resources.

    Is ec2 my best option, and should I just keep plugging away until I figure out what I'm doing, or should I look into something like Light Sail? The plan is to look for the lowest cost option.

    Buttons That Spark Joy

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 07:08 AM PDT

    Bit of a tangent question but curious if the pro webdevs here think there is a technical reason Netflix can't do "watch offline" movies through their browser interface as they offer through the phone apps?

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 06:04 PM PDT

    I tend to suspect their reasons are more biz oriented and strategic -- but curious if webdevs think there is a technical reason they can't offer this?

    Perhaps they don't their video file decryption code in JS that others could view?

    Looks like React - Is this because React is client side rendered? Would Server Side rendering (e.g. Next.js) solve this issue?

    React vs Vue for a social media application with Golang on the backend.

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 10:21 AM PDT

    Hi Everyone!👋

    So me and one of my friend are working on making a social media application as our minor project for college degree.

    We have decided to use GraphQL with Golang on the server-side with Neo4j as our database. But one thing that we cannot decide is which JavaScript framework to use for the front-end.

    React or Vue?

    Both of us have experience with both the technologies, but I am with the idea of using React while he thinks that Vue would be a better option.

    So I wanted to know from the community about which should we use considering scalability and performance. Which would be better if our app grows in size? And, we have also seen that the tech stack that we have decided is not used often, so, which would be better suited framework for us?

    Thanks!

    How does Markdown get rendered into CSS without manual intervention?

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 09:52 AM PDT

    I want to version all my blog posts into standard Markdown. Every single blog has custom styling I see, but feel these posts are probably also written in Markdown (maybe I'm wrong).

    I was thinking about adding a middleware layer to translate the markdown into the corresponding css/html before persisting into the db via Pandoc, but wasn't sure if there is some standardized thing people are doing. Maybe Gatsbys code-base is worth looking at.

    Thanks.

    "Accept" cookies button shows up in Safari, but not in Opera

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 06:05 AM PDT

    Hi,

    there's a site which only works once cookies are accepted.

    The "Accept" button shows up in Safari, but it doesn't in Opera.

    It uses the following codepart:

    <div class="js-cookie-consent cookie-consent"> <span class="cookie-consent__message"> Durch das Klicken auf "Akzeptieren" stimmen Sie der <a href="https://sport.uni-ulm.de/forms/downloads/Datenschutz.pdf" target="_blank">Datenschutzerklärung</a>, der <a href="https://sport.uni-ulm.de/forms/downloads/Einwilligungserklärung.pdf" target="_blank">Einwilligungserklärung</a> und der Speicherung der für die Seite notwendigen Cookies zu. </span> <button class="js-cookie-consent-agree cookie-consent__agree"> Akzeptieren </button> </div> <script> window.laravelCookieConsent = (function () { const COOKIE_VALUE = 1; function consentWithCookies() { setCookie('laravel_cookie_consent', COOKIE_VALUE, 7300); hideCookieDialog(); } function cookieExists(name) { return (document.cookie.split('; ').indexOf(name + '=' + COOKIE_VALUE) !== -1); } function hideCookieDialog() { const dialogs = document.getElementsByClassName('js-cookie-consent'); for (let i = 0; i < dialogs.length; ++i) { dialogs[i].style.display = 'none'; } } function setCookie(name, value, expirationInDays) { const date = new Date(); date.setTime(date.getTime() + (expirationInDays * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)); document.cookie = name + '=' + value + '; ' + 'expires=' + date.toUTCString() +';path=/'; } if(cookieExists('laravel_cookie_consent')) { hideCookieDialog(); } const buttons = document.getElementsByClassName('js-cookie-consent-agree'); for (let i = 0; i < buttons.length; ++i) { buttons[i].addEventListener('click', consentWithCookies); } return { consentWithCookies: consentWithCookies, hideCookieDialog: hideCookieDialog }; })(); </script> <style> .cookie-consent { position: fixed; left: 0; bottom: 0; width: 100%; background-color: lightgray; text-align: center; margin: auto; padding: 5px; z-index: 11; } .block-view { opacity: 0.8; background: black; width: 100%; height: 100%; z-index: 10; top: 0; left: 0; position: fixed; display: none; } </style> 

    The cookies that are being used are "laravel_session" and "XSRF-TOKEN".

    Does anyone know what the problem is and how it can be fixed?
