    Alternative to Google Maps Static API? $2 per 1000 requests is crazy expensive for me

    Posted: 04 Aug 2021 10:44 AM PDT

    Hi! the maps static API is magnificent for enterprise applications where you also earn a lot of money, but for a free mobile app it's quite expensive, I can't pay $2 per 1000 requests.

    Are there any good alternatives? what are booking.com & airbnb using? What is Uber using?

    Update to "burned out trying to find my first job..."

    Posted: 04 Aug 2021 08:57 AM PDT

    I got a job! Is it perfect? No, and I do not care.

    I got a job as a QA engineer for a company that has really good benefits and a really awesome culture. I've had a lot of people from there reach out to congratulate me and welcome me to the team.

    I was not looking for QA specifically, but was told it might be a spot to get my foot in the door. And they liked me enough to teach me and I will be eternally grateful for that.

    Being able to look at development from the testing side will be a unique and useful view that will help me with a lot of my end goals.

    Also, I am pretty sure that complaining on the internet to a bunch of strangers is magic somehow. Not a week after my previous post did I apply and get accepted to this company.

    Thank you for your encouragement when I was feeling down and thank you for being so helpful and solution oriented to my problem. 💛 this baby dev now has a chance.

    Job without bachelor degree

    Posted: 04 Aug 2021 10:04 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    I am 21 years old and live in Australia. I have been messing with code making various projects since I was 14 and will finish my 2-year associate degree in IT at the end of this year.

    I am just wondering how hard it will be to find a job with just this. I have a friend who managed to get a good job with no degree but he said it was because he had a friend who already worked there (I can't get a job through him because he lives in another state).

    Should I do a bachelor's degree or find a way to get a job with what I have? I am hesitant with doing a bachelor's because at University I see I have to teach myself everything and they give projects that often don't reflect real-world scenarios and all my classmates say that it is just for the piece of paper.

    I do plan on making a proper portfolio website when I finish this year and doing more portfolio projects.

    I am not really fussy about which role I get, I just want to get hands-on, real-world experience.

    What do you suggest

    TLDR: What do you suggest someone without a bachelor's degree get a job in this field?

    Python has Django, PHP has Wordpress, Javascript has ________?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2021 12:40 AM PDT

    I have spend the last 2 years learning web development with Javascript frameworks and libraries. One thing that I have found missing is a proper web development framework that Python and PHP have. Both Django and Wordpress bring a lot of native features including:

    • SEO Optimization
    • Admin dashboard
    • High security
    • Cross site scripting protection
    • ORM
    • Authentication and Authorization

    However, I cannot find a single javascript framework that offers all of these features natively. It also seems to be a great opportunity for someone to build upon it.

    What do you guys think? Am I missing something?

    Why exactly do I need this line if I am using media queries to make it responsive?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2021 02:32 PM PDT

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

    ---

    I added this line to my already responsive design and opened it with live server, and it didn't seem to change anything.

    Lazy Loading in Webpack

    How to create a frontend that allows users to filter through a large dataset (MongoDB) with asynchronous data fetching (Flask)?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2021 02:50 AM PDT

    I have a large dataset (100,000+ documents) saved in a MongoDB database that I want to make available to users of my Flask app. Users should be able to search and filter the dataset analogous to how things work in Google sheets or Airtable. However, there is no need for more advanced operations. Viewing the data, searching, and filtering are absolutely sufficient. Since the dataset is so large, data should be fetched asynchronously from the database.

    Here's an example that's very similar to what I'm trying to achieve (although of course my dataset is very different).

    I'm certainly not the first person working on this kind of project and don't want to reinvent the wheel. So... what's the most convenient way to accomplish this? Is there possibly any boilerplate or library I can use?

    In other words, what the most convenient way to create a frontend that allows users to search and filter through a large dataset with asynchronous data fetching?

    I already spent hours googling and reading through forums but didn't find any suitable solution. So really any suggestion is appreciated.

    What is the cleanest and the most correct way to make this with CSS Grid?

    I'm having a bit of trouble with re-creating this design with the CSS Grid, even though I thought it would be easy. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Is this design easily doable in CSS Grid at all? Thank you!

    Help with react front end & express backend err_ssl_protocol_error

    Posted: 04 Aug 2021 02:24 PM PDT

    Intro

    Hi, I am a computer engineer that will be getting married in October and I had the arrogant idea that I would build us a wedding website with no previous experience in webdev. My site is not anything too fancy by most webdev standards but for me it has been a difficult task. I have finally gotten everything working as expected in my dev environment.

    The General Project

    I have a react front end that makes requests to an express backend. For example, a person trying to RSVP will submit a password. React will forward that to Express and Express will respond if the password is valid. Then the user can fill out their contact info and express will push it to a database.

    Similarly, I have a gift registry that gets pulled from the database and a checkout system integrated with Stripe. I even have webhooks for checking that the checkout was completed before modifying the gift registry table.

    My issue

    I tried to deploy everything to my live server last night and I was expected problems but I've been stuck on this for about 10 hours now.

    I'm using nginx to host the site and axios to make requests to the backend. My react site has an ssl https cert that I generated with certbot. My express backend does not have an https cert. When my react front end tries to make requests to the backend they are blocked due to

    GET https://mywebsite.com:3001/api/gifts net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

    My server seems to be working correctly. For example, I have a simple landing page for when a checkout is completed or canceled and I can access these pages through http

    http://mywebsite.com:3001/checkoutGood

    Debugging Steps

    I've been trying various methods of proxying my server requests but I am not sure that I understand exactly how things need to be configured or if proxying is even the correct solution in this case. I've tried proxy in the package.json. I've tried proxy through axios.default configs. I've tried https-proxy-agent on the client side and I've tried http-proxy on the server side. I'm very much flailing here.

    I also tried proxying through nginx with no luck and tried signing the server with certbot, but no luck with either.

    Some Code After removing my debugging attemps my code looks like this

    On the client side I setup axios like

    const instance = axios.create({ baseURL: "https://mywebsite.com", });

    And then make calls to it like

    useEffect(() => { instance.get('/api/gifts').then((response) => { setGiftList(response.data); }, (error) => { alert(error.response.data); }); }, []);

    On the backend I setup my server like

    app.use(cors()); app.use(express.json()); app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true})); app.listen(3001, () => { console.log('running on port 3001'); });

    And then handle requests like

    app.get('/api/gifts', (req, res) => { const sqlSelect = "SELECT * FROM registry" db.query(sqlSelect, (err, result) => { res.send(result); }); }); app.post('/api/checkout', (req, res) => { const cartNameList = req.body.cartNames; const cartPriceList = req.body.cartPrices; const cartID = req.body.cartID; console.log('Checkout Started: ' + cartID) const arrays = collapser(cartNameList, cartPriceList); for (var i = 0; i < arrays[0].length; i++) { const sqlInsert = "INSERT INTO registry_temp (item_name_temp, item_price_temp, cart_id) VALUES (?, ?, ?)" db.query(sqlInsert, [arrays[0][i], arrays[1][i], cartID], (err, result) => { }); } console.log('Cart pushed to registry_temp'); });

    Any help is appreciated on this I feel like I understand the problem thoroughly at this point just not what the correct solution is.

    Any advice for creating website demo videos for early stage companies?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2021 10:38 AM PDT

    This may be the wrong place to ask, but do you have any advice for making a website demo? Do you recommend just making your own no-frills demo with a screen recording and voiceover or is it worth paying someone? Does anyone have experience paying for something like this on freelance websites?

    Really appreciate any insights!

    How Can I Determine if I'm inside or outside my work Windows network?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2021 10:02 AM PDT

    As stated. I'm using Cold Fusion (but of course could translate to ASP, PHP, whatever), and have a site residing on our external server. I need to be able to code an IF/THEN determining if the user is accessing it in our office (on network) or outside the office, and then send them to a login page where I'm doing some LDAP validation stuff.

    I can't think of what I would do to find that out...I've went through the available CGI environment variables I could access, that will only tell me IP/server stuff.

    How can I determine if I'm on a certain network, programatically?

    ​

    Thanks in advance guys.

    Does anyone feels angular and react is a over kill for smaller applications?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2021 07:07 PM PDT

    I'm the solo full stack developer in a big organization, previously i had 3 years experience working on backend [ .net] at a big bank.

    I was asked to create a quiz application , and i finished it with bootstrap and C#, Asp.net core which I'm familiar. I been noticing lot of websites pushing towards angular or react and even vue . So i gave a shot but i feel super complicated and overkill for a single developer handle both front and back. Is it just my opinion or anyone else feeling similar?

    May be i need to start working on some framework projects. It would be great if someone's suggests a easy framework to quick start.

    Help us document!

    Posted: 04 Aug 2021 06:27 AM PDT

    Hello guys, i'm a backend developer and i'm currently working on an e-commerce project with my team.
    we use both confluence and jira and everything has been going great so far except for our documentation. the problem is we don't have a clear, cut structure to document our development process.
    our confluence is riddled with obscure explanations, miss-leading tittles, random code snippets and poorly drawn diagrams; so anyone who's going to join our team in the future will have an extremely hard time figuring things out.
    i was wondering if anyone could help me with this issue and tell me how they themselves deal with documenting in their own working environment... especially with documenting coding conventions, features and etc...
