    How can I show off my web design skills in my resumé?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 02:42 PM PST

    I'm a frontend developer who's out of work. My CV (resumé) could use a lick of paint and I'm thinking, hey, why not take this chance to totally revamp it?

    I want this document to showcase my web design skills, though without actually being a website (already got several of those) — I want this to compile to PDF. My first thought turns to LaTeX, which I've heard good things about (including a throwaway line from my old supervisor: "Every CV should be written in LaTeX"). It would be pretty easy to write my CV as a LaTeX document — right? Then I could style it like I'd style a website, create a bunch of EJS templates, make fragment files for different parts of my CV, and implement a task runner like Gulp.js to churn out slightly-different job-posting-optimised versions of my CV as and when I want them — in short, a cute little build process. And the whole thing could be tracked in version control, maybe even open sourced.

    But as I start trying to do this, I realise a truth of the universe: LaTeX is masochism. I'm reminded of the time I took a year-long break from doing anything with JavaScript or AngularJS, focusing instead on backend and Python, and when I came back Node.js was all the rage, those 'build tools' I'd heard whispers about were suddenly in full force, and AngularJS was dead. In short: totally alienating.

    I've since adapted and learned skills and processes to boot, but with LaTeX, I'm not sure that it's worth the effort to sink so much time into learning its ins and outs. Is this something I'll ever use again in the web design field? Probably not, right?

    Instead, why not build my CV using processes that I'm already familiar with, and/or processes that show off the things that my CV is talking about? Surely that would be far more effective, and a far better use of my time.

    What would you suggest?

    And how does your CV or resumé show off the skills that are relevant to you? Do you have a webby build process like the one I'm trying to achieve - or what do you do that's even better than that?

    How would I make a configurator like this?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 01:58 PM PST

    I'm about to work on a configurator like this and I have a hard time estimating how long it would take to build.

    https://windows24.com

    I was thinking of using woocommerce with composite product addon (maybe also variable product). Otherwise it would be a custom development and I'm thinking it will take longer.

    I'm also wondering if I can make it simpler and cheaper without woocommerce using some creative methods like conditional forms or customize a price calculator plugin as the main goal isnt a web shop.

    How would you personally go about it?

    I'm thinking 2-3 months of work but I'm afraid that I'm underestimating the amount of work with different products and if I have to do it the custom way.

    More details:

    • Some products increase price by percentage
    • There are several different products that have their own parameters (windows, doors, patios)

    Question about Reddit Embed Code?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 04:25 PM PST

    I'm trying to embed the top Reddit post from a given subreddit onto a webpage, and I'm using the HTML code you're give when you hit Share->Embed on a post to represent the post. This is my code:

    <blockquote class="reddit-card" data-card-created="1609973288">
    <a href="{{submission.permalink}}">{{submission.post_title}}</a>
    from
    <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/{{subreddit_name}}">r/{{subreddit_name}}</a>
    </blockquote>
    <script async src="//embed.redditmedia.com/widgets/platform.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>

    What I would like to know is:

    1. Is there a way for me to adjust the size of this? Sometimes it gets too tall for the page.
    2. Is there a way to blur or replace the image on the post? I thought it was supposed to do it automatically for certain images but that doesn't seem to be the case. Basically I want to block or hide images that are nsfw but still leave the card there.

    I've tried to do some Googling for this problem but most of my search results are unrelated. I've tried to paste the link for the script into my browser and take a look but it isn't very readable to me seeing as it's unformatted and I don't even know javascript. Really I just need to know how to adjust the contents of the Reddit card like the image or the title text or the dimensions, that sort of thing.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    I'm working on a website and I want it to have subdomains. Should each subdomain be its own app/server?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 03:58 PM PST

    Backend - Flask
    Frontend - Vue

    Say I want the website to have 3 subdomains, would I have 3 separate vue apps with their own servers? Or would I have one app that handles the subdomain routing?

    Making multiple API calls vs saving the data in a database

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 03:23 PM PST

    Say you need data provided by an external API but you need to treat the data before it's usable. Would you treat it and save it in a database you control, or would you fetch it and treat it on the fly whenever you need it? How do professionals in the real world do it?

    How can I keep this div upon refresh?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 02:35 PM PST

    How can I keep this div upon refresh?
    var bubble = ` <div class = "bubble" id="bubble${driver_id}" style = "top:${counter * 100}px"> ${driver_name}<br> ${time} <a class ="${driver_id}" id = "homeDriver"> <span class = "icon home"></span> </a> <a class="${driver_id}" id="notifyDriver"> <span class="icon comments"></span> </a> <a class="${driver_id}" id="pauseDriver"> <span class ="icon pause"></span> </a> <a class="${driver_id}" id="show"> <span class="icon list"></span> </a> <span class ="icon closeBubble" id = "closeBubble"></span> </div>` $("#driverBubble").append(bubble); counter++; 

    Bubble that is being created

    I am trying to find a way to keep this Bubble on the page even after a refresh. I have tried using LocalStorage by using to store the data

    $(function(){ localStorage["myKey"] = $('.bubble')[0].outerHTML; }); 

    Then I use a button that is temporary to call it back from Local Storage. That works great. However, I am unable to bring the bubble back unless I send another request. I am out of ideas. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    $("#callLocal").click(function(){ if(localStorage["myKey"] != null){ var contentsOfOldDiv = (localStorage["myKey"]); $("bubble").html(contentsOfOldDiv); console.log("test"); } else{ console.log("Testing"); } });

    The state of Ruby on Rails and .NET stack

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 08:35 AM PST

    I've applied for more than 50 jobs. Heard back from about 15-20 companies. Got job offers from 4 of them. All of those in either Ruby on Rails or ASP.NET

    I'm new to Web development and am out of touch with with the job market and the state of the field. I rely on blog posts and surveys by sites like Stack overflow and GitHub to determine the lucrativeness and popularity of a certain language or framework. From what I've gathered so far, both of these are past their peaks, but are mature frameworks with a dedicated community behind them. The general consensus is that the type of jobs for both of these have changed from fast & furious tech start-ups to established firms with retirement benefits.

    Can anyone here shed some light on how beneficial or pernicious getting into either of these frameworks would be to someone who's just getting into the field?

    I understand the Ruby on Rails is a kind of trailblazer in terms of MVC and other related design patterns for later Web frameworks and getting into either RoR and .NET would teach me new things regardless of popularity of the framework, but I can't make up my mind about whether getting into either right now would be beneficial or should I wait for jobs with better stacks?

    What would be the pros and cons of getting into Rails in 2020?

    Also, how easy would it be to pick up, say NodeJs after working on Rails?

    Is it possible to use React as a template engine?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 12:36 PM PST

    I might be using the wrong terminology so let me explain what I'm asking. I'm making an app with Express and Pug as my template engine. I want to start using React as the front end, but I wanted to know if it was possible to use like how I'm currently using Pug.

    Basically I want to be able to use React components to create a page template, set the initial state values with Express. But aside from just sending back whatever rendered HTML is the result of those React templates I also want the functionality of those React components to be sent along as well. Is this possible?

    How to Create a Screenshot/Image Generation Function

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 12:32 PM PST

    Hi guys.

    I'm currently building a little React app that would need to have the capability of taking a screenshot or generating an image from the webpage. I'm actually not too sure where to look or what to search for in researching this. Any help to put me on the right path would be appreciated.

    For reference, this website provides functionality very similar to what I'd need, to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

    Problem making info boxes for my wiki page from markdown files in GatsbyJS

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 12:03 PM PST

    I'm building a wiki style website using the Gatsby framework. It works as a blog type site, where I add markdown files to add new articles to my "wiki". However, I'm struggling with a specific problem, which is adding info boxes like you would see on Wikipedia. The tables you can make in markdown are quite limited though, as you cannot use colspan among other things.

    What would be the best way to solve this problem? I thought about adding the info box content in the front matter of the markdown, but this would make a lot of clutter. Are there any smooth ways to do this, without having to make specific cases for each of the pages using info boxes?

    What's the right approach to learn PHP properly from the ground up?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 02:27 AM PST

    Alright, little intro about myself... I have basic knowledge of HTML/CSS from 10-15 years ago, and although I didn't know the right word until recently, I knew that while I could make barely passable websites that I could sell for profit back then, it wasn't of much use because the info wasn't "dynamic".

    Enter the world of PHP which I have discovered this summer. I'm a local entrepreneur that has started a logistics/commerce business in the past year, and I bought a website/ERP system from a friend of a friend for mid-five figures. I used him to help maintain it, fix bugs, and add new features specific to my business. Some time later, due to a conflict of interest, he had to step down from this role, and he passed me the entire source code. Until I was able to find a semi-suitable hire, most of the day-to-day work of maintaining the site and fixing bugs was done by myself.

    Now, this site is not build on Laravel or any other mainstream framework. I was able to change small things quite easily at first, drawing from my HTML background, and just reading through the code and sorting through the logic. A few months later (I didn't have too much time to dedicate towards this) after I read through a good portion of the entire source code, I was half-decent at figuring out what each function did, and how each part of the logic could affect different stuff, and felt semi-confident modifying larger parts of the code, or even somewhat adding new features.

    Now, I'm almost fully confident I can realize whatever I want with it - when I think of new functionality, I can very quickly point to what changes I need to make to the database, how the logic should work to realize my vision, which parts of the existing code I need to modify so it will complement with these new additions... however a significant hinderance I come across is with syntax, and also just basic "low-level nitty-gritty stuff" (I should point out that this is OOP-based).

    Enter the two PHP developers I hired; maybe I didn't hire the right people for technical reasons, but it's not the easiest to hire someone to do something where you're not quite totally familiar with. One is a fresh graduate from university who has a degree in computer science, and the other an experienced developer that has been working on a variety of PHP projects for 10-15 years. They're great in the sense that they fill in my gaps perfectly - with syntax and "low-level nitty-gritty stuff" - but it seems like they're it's an understatement to say neither is very good at looking at the big picture, or having a plan to execute my vision.

    As an example, for almost any new functionality I think of, once I share my vision with them, I almost always get told that this is way too hard and complex for me (yes, even for the guy with 10-15 years experience). However, after I break it down for them step-by-step, and even sometimes have to sit down and walk them through it (telling them which exact modifications to the database will be needed, which sections of code in which controller they should be changing stuff, etc.), and after they eventually get the task done and realize my vision, most of the time both are somewhat dumbfounded that they actually managed to complete it. And then it's a rinse-and-repeat with the next vision/functionality. Therefore, I often find myself acting as somewhat of a project manager or senior developer towards my two employees, which oddly is very weird.

    Some specific examples... let's talk about database design. Up until half a year ago, until I saw the database for this system I bought, I always thought a database was pretty similar to an Excel spreadsheet (just with VLOOKUP across multiple sheets, on drugs). I've learned stuff like SQL syntax from my two employees (stuff like the various joins, and stuff like distinct), but they seem to have no clue on stuff I've self-taught, like this concept I thought of to keep a history of deleted data, by instead of deleting that row from the database, to add a new column to the entire database called "is_deleted" with default 0, and change it to 1 when "deleting" stuff, then when querying this table in normal circumstances, to just add a condition where is_deleted=0.

    Or when a situation came up where there were data discrepancies because multiple users had opened a page to edit data, and when they both saved, the person saving last would maybe "undo" the changes that the person who saved first made, because the opening time of said page extracted data that wasn't consistent with the data when they made the save. While my two employees understood the problem at hand, neither could think of a solution to fix this. I ended up brainstorming two ideas, one of which was trash, the other ended up being what I learned afterwards as optimistic/pessimistic locking. (The trash idea was locking the entry upon opening of the page, and unlocking the entry when the form was saved. However, I then realized this wouldn't work, because pages could forever be locked if the user didn't save the form to close, but rather closed the tab, closed the browser, shut his computer off, power outage, etc...)

    I guess what I'm trying to say here is that while I'm quite confident in how to do a lot of things now, there's still a lot of nitty-gritty stuff I consistently struggle with. What's the right approach to learn PHP properly from the ground up?

    How should I set an element's style to the browser's default

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 06:55 AM PST

    using all: unset ; or initial or revert game me unexpected results h1 was 19px not 32px and the browser's style sheet was ignored I had to use !important to make sure all my hand set properties wouldn't change the element's style Is there any way all I find is 7 year old questions on stackoverflow.

    edit:when using revert and in inspect mode(in firefox) I can see that all style attriubutes are crossed but this has no effect on the actual properties of the element ex:

    <p class="test">color1</p>

    <p >color2</p>

    css:

    p{ color: red;}

    .test{all: revert !important;}

    output:

    color1 (red)

    color2 (red)

    firfox inspect on color1:

    color: red;

    Good architecture for API, Frontend, and a Worker Bot based System

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 10:38 AM PST

    Hi,

    Currently, I'm developing an application where there 3 major components:

    1. Frontend

    2. API

    3. Worker Bot

    The frontend is calling the API with some tasks. API delegates those tasks to worker bot(s) after creating records in DB. Those bots then work with those tasks and need to update the status of previously created DB records.

    My question is:

    1. Should the worker bot directly update the DB from their side?

    2. Or should they call an API that will update the DB?

    That means, should the DB will be only accessible by the API and not the bot, is this correct? Or I can connect both of these components to the DB?

    Thanks.

    glider.js problem

    I'm using glider.js for carousel. I've changed the z-index of the control arrows that have a class of .glide__arrow because with my fixed navbar they always show up on top when scrolling down. However even setting the z-index to 1 and my fixed nav to a z-index of 100, the control arrows are always on top.

    Does anyone have any idea why?

    Simple JSON visualization lib?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 10:33 AM PST

    Hello

    What's a good java-script visualization library that would just render whatever json data series I give it?

    I find a ton of libraries, you need a ton of code for all of them to get the data in, or you need to organize the data in weird ways (google visualization for example)

    Example: let data = { "label1": [123,412,123], "label2": [123,412,123], } let html = ??.render(data, 'line'); let html = ??.render(data, 'piechart'); let html = ??.render(data, 'imagesparkline');
