    Am I Principal Skinner? Complexity of front-end is just baffling to me now

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 10:06 AM PDT

    I'm old. I started out as a teen with tables on Geocities, Notepad my IDE. Firebug was the newest thing on the block when I finished school (Imagine! Changing code on the fly client-side!). We talked DHTML, not jQuery, to manipulate the DOM.

    I did front-end work for a few years, but for a multitude of reasons pivoted away and my current job is just some occasional tinkering. But our dev went on vacation right when a major project came in and as the backup, it came my way. The job was to take some outsourced HTML/CSS/JS and use it as a template for a site on our CMS, pretty standard. There was no custom Javascript required, no back-end code. But the sheer complexity melted my brain. They built it using a popular framework that requires you to compile your files. I received both those source files and the compiled files that were 1.5mb of minified craziness.

    I'm not saying to throw out all the frameworks, of course there are complex, feature-rich web apps that require stuff like React for smoother development. But way too many sites that are really just glorified Wordpress brochure sites are being built with unnecessarily complex tools.

    I'm out, call me back if you need someone who can troubleshoot the CSS a compiler spits out.

    Domain hoarders are a pain in the ass

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 11:27 AM PDT

    I've been trying for two days, possibly over a thousand searches and practically all viable domain names are taken by people clearly not using them. So there are companies who do this full time? Stifling people who might have otherwise potentially life changing innovations and ideas, but can't get a fitting name for their message because they are all shelved. What a pathetic way to make money.

    Does anybody know of a crafty way to get quality sld names with tld extensions that actually mean something?

    What are JS frameworks?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 01:31 AM PDT

    I'm not yet clear on what frameworks actually do. I've just finished JavaScript fundamentals and I'm learning DOM manipulation and all and I have noticed that the knowledge of frameworks is a required skill for many fields and I was just wondering if someone could explain what frameworks are used for and everything about them. I'd also appreciate it if you could suggest which frameworks to learn and when to learn them. Thank you! ❤

    What are your go to songs when programming?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 03:01 PM PDT

    I listen to this song at the start of every single coding session:

    ​

    ​

    It just gets my brain going! What are some other tunes you guys listen to while coding?

    Day to day?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 05:27 AM PDT

    I am currently working in IT as SySAdmin. I have two routes I wish to explore and speak to people who work in these fields.

    Web Dev & Cyber Security - yes I know completely different paths, but from the three years in IT these are the two that I am drawn too.

    Without ever having an opportunity to work in both fields to test them I thought I'd ask.

    So if you work in webdev can you tell me what your day to day job is like. Is it exciting? Rewarding? Creative? Is there stuff you wish you knew when you started?

    Any advice would really help,

    Please do not remove my post 😃

    Getting odd issues with Cloudflare origin cert

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 11:53 AM PDT

    I am having an odd issue with the following setup. I am using Cloudflare's origin certificate on a dedicated server that is running NGiNX server. The way this works is the following:

    [INTERNET] >>> [SSL TERMINATION] >>> [SERVER]

    I have the SSL certificate installed on the SSL TERMINATION server which is also running NGiNX and it runs fine when I have it set directly. But the moment I set it to be PROXIED in Cloudflare's settings, it errors out as being an invalid SSL certificate.

    What am I doing wrong? I copied the private key and certificate and pasted them into the NGiNX config files.

    Another Backend Option?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 04:01 PM PDT

    I've worked at a few startups and I'm looking at technologies for the backend for my own startup to work with a Flutter frontend.

    - Python/DJango: I've used this at a couple startups. It's a nice, easy to use language that I think has it's purpose, but I really don't think it's well suited for large codebases shared between many people. It's hard to track code because of how Python tries to simplify things. The lack of types makes more problems than it solves, and IDEs don't have the same insight as in other languages.

    - Ruby on Rails: I used this at the first startup I worked at and absolutely hated it. It has every problem Python has but FAR worse. It's completely impossible to track code; only the CTO could actually understand anything in the codebase.

    - Node/Express: I've not used it, but Javascript has its readability and usability issues on the frontend, it shares many of the issues I had with Python, and it also has dynamic types.

    I'm looking for a language and framework that's readable, maintainable, and that people know. I've looked at languages like C#, Java, and especially Go, but they don't seem to be used anywhere near as much. Are there any issues I'm going to run into with these languages? (what's THE framework for Go, is this language and framework even going to be used in a couple years, will I be able to hire anyone for it in a few years?, etc.).

    Maybe being a primarily OOP programmer is tinting my view and I should just go with Node or Python, what do you think?

    NextJS or NodeJS for Backend?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 02:57 PM PDT

    I finished developing my endpoints in NodeJS thinking that NextJS was only for frontend.

    I plan on using NextJS to design my frontend, but I was wondering if I should move my backend into NextJS. I've never done that before, and my MongoDB is already synced with my NodeJS backend.

    Where is the best to find webmasters or blog owners? We need data for research.

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 05:21 AM PDT

    We are looking for webmaster/blog owners to help with big data collection.

    Our startup is doing research within the cybersecurity space and we are looking for some established blog, website, portal that we could work with. We are looking to collect big data such as screen width, screen height, user agents, and other attributes. Our goal is to understand which combination of attributes can webmasters use on their sites to lower bits of entropy in terms of fingerprinting.

    For data to be sufficient we are looking for 25 000 - 75 000 samples.
    We are willing to spend from on the data.

    Does anyone have any idea where to find them and get direct contact?

    How long does spam traffic usually last for?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 07:43 AM PDT

    I've seen a huge influx in traffic to my website over the last three days. Now at first I was ecstatic, but looking into it, there doesn't seem to be any legitimate reason for why, and the source is mainly from places in Eastern Europe which is not a massive target demographic, with very short session times.

    Reading around, it sounds like spam traffic generally comes in shorter spikes and bursts, or low level constant volumes, but this has been continuing during all waking hours for the past 3 days, staying at about 100 "users" per hour from about 1000 to 1900.

    Does anyone else have experience with longer spam waves? Will this burn out in a day or two, or do I need to be more active in tackling it? Im worrying that it could result in a poorer experience for actual visitors if it doesn't let up soon.

    Can I make a web crawler for Embed links?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 10:57 AM PDT

    Hello! I've created a search engine and web crawler, that works well enough, but now I want to copy some things I see more professional search engines do. I see that Google has a section for indexed videos, but I don't really know how to make a bot to do that like my Webcrawler does.

    I notice that, if I just plop embed links for videos into my database, I can just search and watch them just fine, so really my issue is finding those embed links with a webcrawler like bot program. Can I do it, if so how?

    If not, how does Google get all of those videos there?

    Here's a link to my crawler. Its kinda buggy, but it does its job enough for testing. https://pastebin.com/0teKmbn5

    CSS code from Adobe XD

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 12:50 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I'm new to this so I thought I'd ask the friendlies on this sub a question regarding CSS code from Adobe XD. I have created a website template in Photoshop, which I have then successfully converted in to an Adobe XD file. However when my developer takes the code, the images found in the .XD file have empty CSS codes and he wants me to send him PNG files of various buttons etc instead.

    So - how do I optimize my layers in .XD for a web developer who wants to grab the code (including images found in the .XD file)? Once again I'm new to this, so I apologize if something is unclear.

    basic, free, private message board

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 01:49 PM PDT

    I'd like to create a private online forum for discussions with friends and coworkers, but we don't want to use facebook or google. Any recommendations? Just something basic is OK, but without limitation. Ad free would be nice, too. Also, not interested in companies that support censorship.

    Clarification For Namecheap

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 09:27 AM PDT

    I purchased a domain through Namecheap and I'm currently using Squarespace for my site. My domain is mapped to Squarespace and I have it all configured in the DNS settings in my Namcheap account and it's been live for a while now.

    I purchased a Shared Hosting package through Namecheap as I'm creating a new website to replace the Squarespace one, but I'm doing it through WordPress this time. Since my Squarespace is still live and I will be using the same domain fore the new website, I have to edit my PC's Host file to add the WordPress's domain's IP address in order to access it.

    Now I have the new website completed and so I contacted Namecheap to find out what I will need to do in order to proceed with the new site and stop using the Squarespace one. I spoke to a rep that seemed very confused as to what I needed, and pretty much was saying that WordPress is my host and that I would need to get their nameservers and use CustomDNS settings in Namecheap. I agree that I do think I need to use WordPress's nameservers so that the domain is mapped to that WordPress website, but the part that I'm confused about is my host. Wouldn't Namecheap be my host?

    This is the article that the rep directed me to. He said to use the CustomDNS setting and input WordPress's nameservers which are:

    NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

    And he said that all the settings will be managed through the third-party nameservers.

    I am not sure if this is correct because I have the Shared Hosting package through Namecheap, and accessing my WordPress account is through Softaculous.

    How to absolutely stop the video from playing?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 07:38 AM PDT

    I have a page that loads a random fetched video via an id, after a delay, lets say, 5 seconds, it redirects me to another page. This "other page" also does the same thing and loads the video but from a different playlist and then redirects the user back to the first page and so on and so forth. The problem is that on the second, and all the other redirects, the page loads a new video but doesnt stop the previoes one from playing. It feels like Ive tried everything at this point: I tried using the .pause() method on the video, I tried replacing the video with and empty div before redirecting, loading the videos by using the parameters from the url and implementing the context api(react) to reshuffle an array of preloaded videos and only display them one by one, i would really appreciate the help.

    The index page: 

    function Index(props) {

    const items = usePlaylist('RDMM', 'AIzaSyCkhQc1Gu6kmb6pYcfArYo75WXgSs_5PFw'); const { setItems, setCount, count } = useContext(PlaylistContext); const [itemID, setItemID] = useState([]);

    useEffect(() => { if (items) { items.forEach((obj) => { const id = obj.snippet.resourceId.videoId; setItemID((prev) => { return [...prev, id]; }); }); } }, [items]);

    const shuffledArray = itemID.sort((a, b) => 0.5 - Math.random()); setItems(shuffledArray); setCount(0);

    const playLink = shuffledArray ? ( <Link to={`/play/${shuffledArray[count]}`}>caramel</Link> ) : ( <div></div> ); return <div>{playLink}</div>; }

    The first page that the user inittially gets redirected to: 

    function Player(props) {

    const player = new YouTubeToHtml5({ autoplay: false, withAudio: true, });

    setTimeout(() => { player.load(); }, 0);

    const { currentVid, setCurrentVid } = useContext(PlaylistContext); const history = useHistory(); const videoRef = useRef(null);

    const { src } = useParams(); console.log(videoRef); useEffect(() => { if (videoRef) { console.log(videoRef.current); console.log(videoRef.current.pause); setCurrentVid(videoRef.current); videoRef.current.pause(); console.log('paused'); } }, [videoRef]); setTimeout(() => { videoRef.current?.pause(); history.push('/intermission'); }, 5 * 1000);

    return ( <> <Video ref={videoRef} id={src} /> </> ); }

    The second player page:

    function Player(props) {

    var player = new YouTubeToHtml5({ autoload: true, withAudio: true, }); setTimeout(() => { player.load(); }, 0);

    const history = useHistory(); const { currentVid } = useContext(PlaylistContext);

    useEffect(() => { if (currentVid) { setTimeout(() => { console.log('ran stop'); console.log(currentVid); currentVid.pause(); }, 100); } }, [currentVid]); const intermission = setTimeout(() => { // history.push('/player'); console.log('pushed'); }, 15 * 1000); return ( <> <Video id='BV7RkEL6oRc' /> </> ); }
