    Just came across this greedy shameless tactic by NetRegistry. Is this normal with other domain providers? because I've used a few and have never come across DNS edit limits.

    How up front should I be in interviews?

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 06:43 AM PST

    Pre-coronavirus times, I doubled as a touring musician. It never posed an issue with getting my work done--I used my phone as a hot spot and wrote code on the road. My employer knew I was on tour. Sometimes, I'd even do standup in the van (someone else was driving, obviously).

    I'm applying to other jobs now, and in maybe 6 months (best case scenario), I'll be able to tour again. Should I be upfront about this with prospective employeers, even though it's not going to come up for a while, or should I just wait to cross that bridge when I get to it?

    How about College?

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 02:01 PM PST

    Hi, I (17M) started learning web development about 6 months ago. HTML, CSS, SCSS, JS, Vue and now I'm learning Angular cause there are 0 jobs on Vue in my city. My main 3 "hobbies" are self development, motivation and progress ( i don't think they can be called hobbies but anyways ).

    For my future, I am looking forward to work as a web developer, earn some money, maybe remote, maybe move to some other country, I don't know. All I know is that I don't want to live the rest of my life working to struggle to survive and be stressed each and every second cause I don't have money.

    I am confident that I can do stuff, I can teach myself and work my ass off. In 6 months I learned all the way up to Vue and Angular ( maybe much, maybe others do this in 2 months, idk ). Some of my friends told me that I need a Degree , otherwise, at some point I will not be able to get a higher position at any job and that made me think about it a lot.

    I am living in Romania ( education is really bad, overall.. the whole country, when it comes to development and learning subject is really really bad ). Should I spend the next 4 years of my life in a college, struggling to remain sane between 8 hours of biology, math, chemistry, physics and other subjects that won't help me at all.. Or should I just focus on learning Front-End, Back-End, maybe going to another country and overall living my life without college.

    Long story short : Next 4 years in college learning 60% useless subjects in a shitty educational system or should i continue self learning and developing all the way up to a job maybe here maybe abroad?

    domain question

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 04:35 PM PST

    Hello, I own a domain (say its x.com) and I also have a django site hosted on a digitalocean droplet (at say xx:xx:xx:xx:1337). So one is the name of the site and the other is a bunch of numbers.

    I want for users to be able to visit x.com and then be redirected to the digitalocean site. My question is, when they do that, is it possible for the URL still be able to say (x.com) or does it have to be the raw IP address? I'd rather have the word instead of the ugly IP address in the URL bar.

    I guess what I'm asking is, is there some way to resolve the domain to a certain ip

    Sorry if this question is dumb, I'm fairly new to this

    Are programming books so good and important as they sell it?

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 02:42 AM PST

    I never read a book about programming and I see them like something with a lot of pages just to learn something I could learn in a 10min YouTube video.

    Or like school ones where you learn a lot of unnecessary things in a long and boring way.

    I'm thinking on buying one, but I don't know if they are worthy

    Responsive Font Sizes?

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 08:19 AM PST

    I'm working on a project where the `h1, h2, h3`, heading tags font sizes are `30px, 24px, 20px`. Looks good on desktop but when going to small screen sizes thats pretty big (specially the `h1`).

    My first and unique approach was to override those font sizes with media queries, but I found myself randomly calculating what would be the right size in pixels for all of them in a small tablet, a big phone and a small phone and also writing a lot of code for just heading tags and font sizes in every SCSS file.

    ...There should be a better way...

    What would be you approach to this? Tutorials, blog post, snippets... everything's welcome.

    How would I go about developing a platform similar to Cameo?

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 04:53 PM PST

    I have a website idea that I really believe in. I know ideas are a dime a dozen but I really believe this could be a billion dollar site if done properly.

    I've built many websites but just ecommerce, blogs, informational. This website would involve programming that is way above my head.

    The platform would be similar to Cameo in the way that talent would list their profile with their service and charge an amount, and the website would take a 20% cut.

    It would need to be very user friendly for both the talent and the customer.

    How would I go about having this developed? I don't have any venture capital or a huge budget. So I would kind of want to bootstrap it a bit. But I have a significant budget where I believe I should be able to get it done. Is there a website where I can find skilled developers who could develop something like this? I know there is upwork which I frequently use, but I feel that is for more smaller programming tasks or data entry, logo design etc. I would need a skilled developer that has proven history of developing more technical sites.

    Where should I start?

    "Easy" and safe (and scalable maybe) back-end framework + DB combo for a REST API with lots of many to many relationships?

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 07:50 AM PST

    A friend and I are planning to build a web/mobile app to freshen and learn new skills while we hunt for jobs (company downsized just a couple of weeks ago), and maybe monetize a bit on mobile (if at all possible), but we're not so sure as to which framework and database would be best for working with many relationships.

    The app is a very niche thing, kind of a catalogue/tag system, there won't be any real need for graphing, but most requests will be done to query many-to-many relationships and there also will be self-referential relationships. We're hoping it "takes off" and get dozens of thousands of users, but that is just "the dream", so we want our codebase to be flexible to a maybe-possible growth.

    I have experience with Laravel and I find that it is easy and great to work with all kinds of relationships, but was also thinking about maybe using NodeJS (Express) to learn (since many full stack openings ask for it), but I have no real experience with it.

    On the database side I was thinking of perhaps using PostgreSQL since it is capable and easy to work with/install, but not sure if NoSQL would also be a good idea (for example, Express guides usually involve MongoDB).

    Just one last thing, we will most surely release an Android app version (play store) and maybe an installable desktop application (using a packaging system for web apps), and that would also require saving local changes when there is no internet connection that syncs when connection is reestablished. But we have no experience on this.

    This is a basic, badly scribbled structure of the main tables and relationships:

    TAG - can relate to each other - can relate to Categories, has many Categories - belongs to many Categories - belongs to Groups

    CATEGORY - belongs to Tags - has many Tags - has Details with particular info in 2 cases: 1) the Category on its own, 2) a specific Category-Tag relationship instance - belongs to Groups

    GROUPS - has many Tags - has many Categories

    Thank you very much in advance for any advice, sorry if anything is badly written or if there's something wrong with this post.

    Beginner front end developer wanting to build a small E-commerce site for a family member. I want to deal with the front end of the website but would a service like shopify handle how the shop would function? Is this project difficult for beginners?

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 04:19 PM PST

    Hello all,

    I was presented with a request to make a website that would allow my cousin to sell items online. They know I have been studying web development for a bit but I know for a fact that a whole E-commerce website is a beast in itself that requires more knowledge than knowing just HTML, CSS, and JS. Things like security, inventory management, calculating costs, and figuring out how users can pay is beyond me.

    From searching, I ran across Shopify and was wondering if this is a solution to what I would want. Would I be able to fully customize a websites front end while implementing the shopping feature that Shopify can handle? Are there any other services that would be better for me that you can recommend?

    I told my cousin that if they just want a simple store up and running they can definitely get a site going with services like Shopify and Wix and select templates, but if they would like a unique design and a website that they can kind of call their own, then they can possibly ask me. Would that be true?

    Running Wordpress through XAMPP on MacOS

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 03:47 PM PST

    I created a small website where restaurants can make their menu Digital and live in seconds.

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 03:40 PM PST

    Hello Devs!

    I know many sites offer to host a restaurants pdf online and give them a QR menu but this is different!

    The aim of Tabled is to:
    1- Provide restaurants with a digital menu even if they don't have a pdf menu or any asset at all (unlike the rest where they upload a pdf menu)
    2- Provide a QR code with an pre-built table topper to print and put on the table. (customizable QR code and table topper)
    3- Provide a sharable short-link to access the menu anywhere and pin it in their social media (example: tbld.link/ilikefood )
    4- Digital menu that is created in minutes, and extremely dynamic as adding/updating items takes seconds and is instant!

    I'm posting here since I need devs feedback and advice so your thoughts and your feedback is extremely appreciated!

    You're more than welcomed to try it as well as it is completely free.

    PS: I'm glad to say that so far 7 restaurants are live!

    React: Styling options

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 03:34 PM PST

    Hi all,

    I'm relatively new to React & Typescript and I've seen css styling done a lot of different ways: inline, directly importing through css files, css modules, etc. With all of these different methods, how do they compare performance wise, scalability, etc.? Are there any resources out there where I can learn more about the pros and cons of this? If you recently built a website, what made you choose a particular method?

    Are most web jobs developing websites, or web applications?

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 03:24 PM PST

    A lot of front end jobs by and large looking for React experience. So on the outside, I'm assuming it's web application work.

    However I've worked numerous jobs since 2010, and it's basically building websites for clients or maintaining a company website that's on a CMS. I just started maintaining a React application just this year - and even so, most of my work is maintaining a few CMS company sites.

    Even though there's a lot of demand for React, are people still just overwhelmingly building websites? Or does that job market truly reflect that much web application work is needed?

    YouTube downloader using Flask

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 03:20 PM PST

    Hello everyone! Recently I started to learn about web development using html, css, JavaScript and Python. I already have a good knowledge of Python as I've made several projects using it. I started learning the Flask micro framework and creating a small web applications deployed on heroku.

    My project consist in making a YouTube downloader. I've already made this project (not on web) using python GUI libraries and pytube. My question is: how can I make the same, but on web? I tried making a form with input fields to get the URL of the video. When my page gets a POST request, it calls a function with the URL given in the input field to get information about the video such as title, thumbnail image and successfully displaying it by passing them as variables using flask's double curly brackets syntax in the html file, but how do I proceed now? How can I make the user actually download the video? How can I create a 'download' button to let the viewer download the video with the specified format? And most importantly, is this a good approach or there's a better way to do this? Also, in my program I used FFmpeg to merge the video and the audio files since for some reason you can't download both in the same file with Pytube. How can I do this in a web application? How can I install FFmpeg and make it work on heroku since that's not just a python library?

    Thank you for reading all of this, I know some questions might be obvious but I'm new to all of this and I want to improve, feel free to give me your honest advice and tell me the best way to approach this problem.

    Using your own client-side validation vs built-in html 5 validation. What to use when?

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 02:14 PM PST

    To what extent is it recommended to use html 5 validation? I suspect html 5 is more accessible even if it is not as good looking as a custom might be. Is there a way to have custom messages or styles with built-in html 5 validation?

    Gamification resources

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 02:13 PM PST

    Hi all, I've started some work on a gamification app and I'm researching for some gamification "resources". My front-end technology stack is Vue and Boostrap, and I was wondering whether there are some sorts of themes or frameworks that could ease out my development (rather than having to start from scratch). Any tips? Where I have been looking so far

    • On Boostrap, but their theme offer seems rather limited
    • On Awesome JS, where I found nothing interesting
    • On NPM, which I'm still scrolling through and where there might be something interesting

    Does Google Maps API cost anything beyond the $200 free credit?

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 01:57 PM PST

    I see that google maps api gives you $200 in credit each month, and google cloud is on a free trial for the first three months, (or providing you don't spend more than $300 using it). But I can't find the cost of using it once those 3 months are up if you are only using the Maps API?

    Anyone knows any (Chrome) APIs to access a local device? 192.168.x.x

    Posted: 23 Dec 2020 01:41 PM PST

    As per title, I have a PWA in the cloud. I need this to get/post a device within a LAN.

    Usually, I'd solve this with public IP + port forwarding. But in this instance, I may not be able to do so.

    Literal shower thought: since the computer browsing the PWA will be in the same LAN of said device, does e.g. Chrome provide some API that meets my need? I didn't find any.

    I'm ok with pop ups and warning to the user when the request is needed.

    Something like the presentiation APIs for interacting with local screens.
