    Has there been any literature written on redesigning web languages from the ground up?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 10:41 PM PDT

    A lot of the web specification was written for the 1990s, and a lot has changed. Even though the field is always changing, some would say the foundation is unideal.

    I've been thinking about web standards such as HTML and CSS recently, and reading various criticisms about their core design. What would programming languages for the internet be like, if they were designed today?

    Has anyone read any blog posts/etc that theorize a complete redesign of web document delivery and styling, and propose alternative solutions?

    Edit: I feel like I should include a comment of mine here, as I think people are missing the point.

    Ah, you're arguing against my first sentence without acknowledging the second sentence that was intended to address arguments like yours:

    A lot of the web specification was written for the 1990s, and a lot has changed. Even though the field is always changing, some would say the foundation is unideal.

    Yes we've got HTML5 and CSS3, but it's still built upon this 1990s standard.

    Anyway, I agree with you. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    But I'm not proposing to fix it. I'm not barging into W3C's doors, putting a gun to the head of their chairman, and telling everyone we need change, now. No.

    Instead I'm proposing a theoretical discussion. Yeah we don't need to fix it now, and might never need to either. But if we did decide to redesign the web standards from the ground up today, what would they look like? I'm not looking for change, but a thought experiment. :p

    As to reasons why one might want change - some would argue a constraint-based system would be better suited for CSS, or that just interpreted raw text in general isn't a great format for the web, or that current HTML is more forgiving. I'm not any of those, I just want to give you possible reasons some may want change.

    If it ain't broke don't fix it, yes, but if it ain't perfect, don't get complacent. And it's never perfect.

    Yeah, if we forget all current standards and resign something from the ground up it might never be put into effect, but it's interesting to think about, on a theoretical level, what that would look like.

    Complete GitHub Actions Tutorial - Tool to automate your developer workflows

    Posted: 09 Oct 2020 05:58 AM PDT

    Hi there!

    I created a GitHub Actions Tutorial. It's a tool to automate various developer workflows including CI/CD pipeline as an example.

    ​

    Compared to other CI/CD tool, it's meant for developers and the setup is easy.

    Also if you're already hosting your code on GitHub, now you can use the same tool instead of setup integration with another third-party CI/CD tool.

    ​

    In the tutorial you'll get a good overview of:

    • what GitHub Actions actually is,
    • understand specific developer workflow use cases that you can automate with GitHub Actions
    • how GitHub Actions works - basic concepts including GitHub Events, Actions and workflow
    • the most common workflow, which is CI/CD pipeline
    • understand why it's not just another ci/cd tool or what are the benefits of GitHub Actions CI CD pipeline
    • hands-on demo, where I explain the syntax of github actions workflow file and then I show you a complete ci pipeline setup with my example Java Gradle project, which we will build into a Docker Image 🐳 and push to a private Docker repository on DockerHub.

    ​

    Hope it is useful for some of you 🙂

    Do you ever feel overwhelmed with the amount of information and knowledge required to be a good, modern web developer?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2020 12:24 PM PDT

    From CSS (responsive + animations), to HTML, JS, OOP (or functional); frameworks, security, CLI's, GiT, Bootstrap/Materialize, performance, accessibility, SEO, etc, etc... it feels like a full time job just learning and keeping updated with every component of modern web development.

    I know that we don't need to know "everything", but sometimes it gets hard to know what's enough, and when to stop learning. I know that in this industry we will always need to keep up to date on new trends and technologies, but I just feel like it's sometimes a bit wonky with how much there is to learn.

    How to build a schedule bar graph like this one

    How to build a schedule bar graph like this one

    I would like to build something similar to this to be included on a web page of a personal project:

    ​

    https://preview.redd.it/bqjfnvtef3s51.png?width=805&format=png&auto=webp&s=d81eba98988e6d2641e01f95275832fbc760ac34

    This is like a calendar with all my activities for a specific day thus being dynamic.

    I also want to add some remarks, like the arrows inside the graph to indicate some notes that are important.

    I want to know if the best approach is to do this in pure Html and CSS or if there is any best approach.

    Thank you all in advance.

    PS: I'm open about the possibility of using frameworks but that are not closed to use as I don't want to buy an expensive license to build this.

    What side or toy project have you launched this year that you're hopeful will gain traction?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2020 03:20 AM PDT

    Or what project have you launched this year that already is gaining traction? Already producing revenue? or best of all, what have you launched that is just simply useful (to you or others)?

    It has been a few months since one of these roundups, and I'm curious what new projects the community has produced or launched despite, or maybe due to, the uniqueness of 2020. A friend from a developer group just finished up his first season of a really well done podcast, and I'm sure he isn't alone is producing cool stuff this year.

    Best way to build searchable PDF database?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2020 03:18 PM PDT

    Hey, have a client who wants to share a few hundred PDF of historical news clippings other documents that were scanned with OCR. Google Drive can filter results beautifully as we type, but nothing with that level of functionality seems to exist in any CMS I have seen. Preferably something open-source with an embedded viewer and space for footnotes and additional info about the document. Any ideas?

    What was the name of the website/script that let you add a laptop or phone to your website that would swivel on scroll events?

    I remember coming across a website/script that let you add devices which would open, close, and swivel on scroll event. I can't seem to find it now, so if someone could help me out that would be great!

    Want to point a domain to a host and already changed nameservers, what’s next?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2020 11:47 AM PDT

    To be totally honest this is driving me mad because I know it's probably something simple.

    So I have my domain (elogee.com) registered at 1and1.com and my host is GoDaddy. Every article I've read says I should write the GoDaddy nameservers (ns23.domaincontrol.com and ns24.domaincontrol.com) on the domain website and that should do the trick, but it doesn't seem to work. The problem is that every article stops there and implies that the work is done. Some people said I need to add elogee.com to my addon domain on cPanel but that doesn't work because I have a limit of zero addons (probably because of my plan). Also, the domains section on cPanel says elogee.com is my primary domain, which is strange because when I look up the website I don't get anything. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Best way to paywall an HTML book?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2020 10:36 AM PDT

    Hi,

    I'm writing a book that will be rendered as a website, with chapters being different pages, like this one https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown-cookbook/

    What is the best set of tools to lock this behind a paywall and get users to buy lifetime access through a service like Stripe or PayPal?

    Ideally, I would like them to log-in with their Google account, and once they pay, the access to be granted for that Google account immediately.

    Any ideas, please?

    Anything I can do server-side to maximize download speeds?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2020 12:25 PM PDT

    I'm a colorist for film/tv stuff, and as a hobby I would like to make a "portal" where clients can upload footage to me, or I can send them footage I've color graded. I'm thinking along the lines of frame.io or Wiredrive, if you're familiar with those. I'm looking at doing this with Flask on the server side just because I'm pretty good with Python. But as you can probably tell, I haven't really dealt with web technologies since LAMP was cool.

    These tend to be larger files (think ~20 GB for a typical file). I have gigabit fiber at home so I could theoretically provide good speeds from my home server. Is there anything I can do to maximize the file transfer speeds for client uploads and downloads in the browser, so I don't trouble my clients too much with having to download/setup a client the way Aspera does?

    I thinking in terms of, like, UDP (which I don't think I can do in the browser; would need to write a standalone client, right?) or WebSockets (which I don't think are applicable here? but I don't know enough), or... anything else? HTML5? Computers? VRML? AOL Keywords?

    I'd appreciate if anyone can give me some good search terms to Google and learn about. Thanks!

    Suggestions/advice for creating website involving JSON data returned from API

    Posted: 09 Oct 2020 08:05 AM PDT

    Hi, Apologies for simplicity of the question - this is new to me.

    I want to create a responsive website which displays data visualizations using data returned from an API. The code to return the responses from the API can be written in Python or JavaScript (up to me). The API requires a private key to use, so the script needs to be kept secret from the users. The API returns data in a JSON format.

    There are so many technologies/frameworks etc. that I don't really know the best ones to use for this kind of problem.

    I was thinking of coding the front-end with HTML/CSS/JS and using something like ECharts. However, I have no idea where to start on the script part. I.e. How do I input the JSON data from the API call into the front-end visualization? Do I need to use some kind of python framework for this?

    Sorry for not being too specific in the question. I am just seeking some advice on a good way to go about creating this website/web app.

    Thanks!!

    Trying to figure out a good deployment workflow

    Posted: 09 Oct 2020 07:17 AM PDT

    I host a bunch of websites via NameCheap hosting (uses cPanel). It's a wide range - wordpress, php, react, next, gatsby, etc. All code is on GitHub (only custom code for WP sites). And I'm developing on a Windows machine. I'm not sure if any of this is relevant.

    Anyway - to deploy the sites, I generally manually upload deployed sites via FTP. It's not a great process and I'd like to figure out a better deployment workflow - for my node-based sites, anyway.

    Generally, I do something like npm run build, which copies the website to an out or similar folder. I take those files and manually upload to the appropriate directory via FTP.

    It's a sloppy and pretty inefficient workflow. I don't have any great ideas for fixing it. Maybe finding a npm script that will upload to FTP, but that doesn't sound like the right answer (does it?). Any ideas, insight, etc is much appreciated. Thanks!

    Note: all websites are low-traffic and don't generate any money. They're mostly sites for friend's businesses, etc. Therefore, I'm going for minimal cost across the board and not very willing to pay more money for better AWS/Netifly/etc hosting.

    Note 2: updates and deploys are fairly infrequent, which is why I haven't been very concerned about it. But I guess modernizing the process is a good idea.

    Just saw this a comment on here about fullstack being a waste of time if you're new to web dev, and that one should choose a specialty instead. Is this true?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2020 10:33 AM PDT

    Is it true that it's only small, underbudgeted companies and startups that want fullstack engineers?

    I thought that fullstack was really useful, because you link together both front end and back end engineers in a big company and also can do both if that's what the job entails.

    What character encoding is used in http headers?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2020 08:16 AM PDT

    I've started hosting my personal site on a .dev domain. I'm using the site to experiment and write about web performance ideas. I chose the .dev domain because it's automatically added to the HSTS preload list, which means you can avoid using the strict-transport-security header. Saving some bytes on every response and saves the user from parsing the header.

    But how many bytes does it save? Is it safe to say it saves 1 bytes per character, so 71 bytes?

    Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload

    In utf-8 it's one byte per character, and in Ascii it's 7 bits per character. And http headers are usually just ascii characters (i think). I'm struggling to find any info on this. Any help would be appreciated.
