I'm trying to build a layout in pic related, basically 3 rows of equal height, with each row holding x number of elements on it.
So I'm trying to do this with one vertical flexbox that holds 3 other horizontal flexboxes inside it, and those contain the actual elements to display.
Am I going about this the right way?

Thinking of quitting and just letting the company burn, but afraid of burning through savings while in-between jobs.
How easy would it be?
Josiah Roberts
Search for a new job before you quit.
Do your job in the meantime.

Will Express confuse these routes?
app.get('/:paramOne?', function (req, res) { // code }
app.get('/new/:paramTwo(*)?', function (req, res) { // code }
The first get is for the root index with an optional parameter of paramOne. The second is for the route /new/ with an optional parameter of paramTwo (the asterisk is there to allow the user to pass a parameter containing multiple forward slashes e.g. a url address).
Will Express/Node confuse new as being paramOne, rather than its own route?
Austin Richardson
Yes
Jeremiah Powell
You could use bootstrap instead senpai

/wdg/ is officially /pajeet/ now.
Carter Reyes
Why does the idea of video interviews scare me? Is it cause I know some Stacy HR will make fun of me?
Eli Cook
Yes, I know. It's absolute pajeet tier. Look at that fucking nesting.
Leo Stewart
>Will Express/Node confuse new as being paramOne, rather than its own route?
I think it'll be confused. Even if it isn't it's not a good api design.
Use a query string for paramOne like: >www.whatever.com/thing?paramone=urgaypwnd
Jordan Martin
>functions within functions
You're the Pajeet. Passing lambda functions as parameters is great.
Ayden Rivera
How did everyone get started in their programming careers?
I'm interested in learning hadoop more in depth. However, I was told by someone that I need to become really good with Python and Java. I have SOME basic experience, but not even close enough to call myself competent.
Then, after speaking to a few different people some suggest I should learn things like C, because "If I can learn C, I can learn anything".
Are these people full of shit? Is it beneficial to learn C?
Austin Wilson
Depends what you want to make I guess. But since you are asking in /wdg/, python/ruby should be good.
Jose Thomas
I guess what I'm trying to ask, is it true that learning C is impressive? Everyone makes it seem like the REAL programmers are the old school ones that grew up in the 70s/80s and learned how to program using C and bash or whatever, and that "new" programmers will never be "true" programmers because Python is the equivalent of learning how to drive an automatic, and C is driving a stick?
Logan Kelly
Impressive? No. Useful? Yes.
Jeremiah Reyes
Why is it more useful in learning C than dedicating time to learning other languages like python or Java?
I just finished my masters. Trying to figure out where I want to go, and what languages I want to become better at.
Levi Diaz
I grew up learning C for about 15 years, for game dev, light graphics programming, and emulator programming.
No, it's not impressive, it doesn't make you think deeper than Python programmers. It's a completely different skillset. While the things you learn are a little more technical in C, Python is a much more expressive language, so the challenges of using your tools impressively actually increases.
In regards to whether it'd be useful to learn C now, I'd say grasping the basics of how it works, and attempting to at least interface with 1 of your OS' built-in apis, would be all you need to know to apply it to languages more worth your time (python)
Can't say I'm fond of Java
Isaac Rogers
Because most other languages are based on C. But starting with Python or Java is fine either.
Andrew Lopez
Thanks for that useful response. I stated earlier that I wanted to learn hadoop more which requires Java. Why are you not fond of Java?
Good to know.
Charles Lopez
>Why are you not fond of Java? Well, with Spring, Java can be a very expressive language, but being so statically typed and largely forced into 1 paradigm makes it suffer a lot. I reckon if I had to use Java, I would lean more to something that abstracts needless constructs, something like Groovy.
But that's my opinion. If you like Java, then it's all the more useful since it's still big in the job market. Why are you interested in hadoop?
Jeremiah Myers
...
Juan Brooks
One thing is to pass a function and the other is to declare a function inside a function. That's what leads to endless jquery callback youtube tutorial tier code soup. Write better code fucking retard.
Aiden Wilson
Well, I'm interested in hadoop because I took a class in it and I just thought it was a neat program. Then, I went online to see the job descriptions and requirements, and they all list Java as part of that requirement.
Overall, I think it's an interesting program. I enjoyed using it and I thought it was straightforward. However, I realize that a classroom environment is much different than a business environment.
I'm not going to lie. The salary doesn't hurt either. I live in a very expensive part of California and I need a high salary to survive out here.
Of course, I still need to do more research. What if Hadoop becomes outdated in a few years? I don't think so, but I need to see long term and not just short term.
Any advice coming from a veteran in the industry is welcomed!
Tyler Rivera
Scored myself an interview next tuesday for full stack dev creating some kind of instagram clone website. They claim the work is mainly in HTML5 and the related stuff. I've only done the bare minimum of web development before, like wordpress, focusing on writing backends for enterprise projects in java. What should I expect in the live programming test during the interview if they claim it's HTML5/PHP/mysql?
Lincoln Wright
thats called a closure pajeet, just stick with your PHP
Angel Gutierrez
Declaring functions in place is fine, its called a lambda function, which is an extremely useful tool to have.
The example in the OP only appears to be bad because they're callback functions, because Javascript is asynchronous, and once you perform an asynchronous operation, you need to be inside of the callback function in order to have access to the results of that asynchronous operation.
Now we have all kinds of tools to make this easy, such as ES6 promises.
So instead of:
asyncFunction1(function (asyncResult1) { // do something with asyncResult1 asyncFunction2(function (asyncResult2) { // do something with asyncResult2 asyncFunction3(function (asyncResult3) { // okay this is getting a bit gay now asyncFunction4(function (asyncResult4) { // please make it stop console.log(asyncResult4, "is gay"); }); }); }); });
you can use a promise chain: asyncFunction1(function (asyncResult1) { // do something with asyncResult1 return asyncFunction2(); }) .then(function (asyncResult2) { // do something with asyncResult2 return asyncFunction3(); }) .then(function (asyncResult3) { // actually this is quite easy to work with return asyncFunction4(); }) .then(function (asyncResult4) { // I can do this for as long as I want }) .catch(function (error) { console.error(error); });
You can do all kinds of shit with promises, and its easy to turn a callback-based function into one that will return promises so that its easy to work with.
You can't do Javascript and escape asynchronous programming patterns, and if you have something against lambda functions then you're bad and you should feel bad.

I am staring at my screen for 10 minutes and can't find a link to the repo of my openshift application. I created it without naming the branch and now I don't know if it even created it or not. Where can I find that goddamn link???

Grayson Barnes
Help me Sup Forums, idk what to do anymore. I'm a really good web designer and can also code. I fucking hate MVC patterns, I just don't get it. I tried to fuck arround with Rails and I don't understand anything. Holy fucking shit there's so much fucking folders everywhere... Why are simple things so complicated now? Should I just go with Python or Node.JS??? Like wtf. I just want to be able to code cool shit with a db. Why do I have to use the console so much??? Can please anyone point me in the right direction I'm going insane.
Hudson Ramirez
what do you want to build user? the fact you're saying you're a good web designer makes me think you're not a good designer.
Parker Reed
I've been working on an imageboard software. Just rewrote the thumbnailing bit. I want to do a full rewrite now that I sort of know what I'm doing, (this was my project to learn php) but I'd like to do it with the aid of another person. If anyone's interested, let me know.
>mysqli at the very least use PDO for DB interactions.
Noah Kelly
I meant graphic designer lol. Just a simple scraping site, I could do it in PHP but I want to step my game up. I tried Python too but installing the frameworks on Windows is a nightmare.
Andrew Gutierrez
If you can give me a suggestion for a better alternative that isn't ruby on rails, be my guest. But honestly, language doesn't even matter for making an imageboard. Basically any of them will work. I chose php because it's by far the most used, so I have plenty of things to use as reference, and it's similar enough to other languages I've used that the learning curve wasn't hard.
Jonathan Myers
Why? Maybe I will in the rewrite. Not gonna do that in this version though.
Grayson Perez
cool, me too. try rails then. the problem isn't windows though. installing frameworks in mac osx is just as clumsy. i've even quit using gulp for small projects because i hated the node_modules bloat in every folder.
rails isn't bad—but yeah, pajeet memes aside PHP is not going anywhere.
Brody Moore
Install Linux, you gay cunt.

I need my Adobe pack and other shit, sorry. (Btw I'm actually currently installing this on Ubuntu, but it's not my main driver).
Does anybody have exp with Wordpress on Openshift? I set this shit up but I can't figure out how to upload my theme now, I mean, I have my app folder on my PC now, but shit is empty. This is so fucking confusing it's pretty amazing, and there are not much good sources on google.
Alexander Johnson

use Sinatra, very light weight, gives you total control
Noah Taylor
What happens when a javascript dev thinks too highly of themselves: github.com/sahilm/reddit.js/blob/master/reddit.js > fancy function chaining api to make a single fucking get request > lambda soup to accomplish said fancy function chaining > no comments > no docs
I dug through it just long enough to figure out why it worked and my little hack didn't. (The problem with my implementation was that reddit's redirects break CORS - I excluded the "www." and it broke their shitty api. And naturally none of this is in their docs)
Joshua Jackson
Use Go or Node.
Eli Adams
what do you need openshift for?
David Morales
To host my wordpress news portal for free for some time, my current hosting just shat itself.
Luis Brooks
any decent hosting service has PHP and database management for the price of a beer. no need to go through the trouble to save a penny
Aaron Johnson
Don't have a credit card. I actually never hosted anything before, so I'm not even sure if I can pay the hosting without it. Eh whatever, it's for a college project, there is no reason for me to pay anything. Btw I think I figured it out, found a good tutorial. It's actually pretty easy.
Austin Anderson
That's not so bad though user. It's a simple script people can drop in their documents to easily retreive reddit content. It's for retards, sure, but it does what it's supposed to do.
Austin Russell
The only dev camps in my area cost thousands of dollars and to even be considered for a "scholarship" or financial aid, you have to be from an "underrepresented group in tech". You can't get help if you're white. This isn't even a single instance, it's all of them. Why the fuck do I even bother
I'm guessing id have a hell of a time trying to get hired anywhere too.
Cooper Morales
Tell me this is not real. I thought it's a meme more or less.
Cameron Hernandez
isn't Sup Forums technically a dev camp?
Dylan Bell
Say you are gay or a tranny (female to male).
Josiah Baker
Have any of you faggots used Polymer in your projects? It seems pretty cool and I want to try it out but it seems so heavy.
Leo Phillips
It is absolutely real. Sure but I feel like I'd be better suited to learning in person.
David Jackson
stab a pajeet. win-win
Lincoln White
I've considered it, but that was my conclusion as well. I tried some of the demo apps and it took a whole 2 seconds to render a fucking todo app on my cheap android. Yeah, no.
Owen Hill
> couldn't understand the spaghetti code either
Aiden Hernandez
Fuck yes. scored a phone interview for a rails position. my first dev interview, what should i expect
Justin Jackson
That's what i'm saying. Do you think half the people who use jQuery know how most of its methods work?
Samuel King
How do you guys stay motivated? I have a project due in a week and a half (I'm getting paid for it, albeit not much) but I can't seem to stick to coding for hours like I used to. I feel like the depression from the other aspects of my life is starting to creep into my work.
Christian Wilson
this isn't logging in for some reason want to take a gander? thought I did everything textbook
import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import time
def login(): with requests.Session() as c:

commit='Sign in' utf8=''
authenticity_token=soup.findAll('input')[1].get('value') print(authenticity_token) #this is indeed the correct token
what do you even do in that role? like i get that front end is how websites look and back end is how they operate. but what does somebody do who is specifically hired to do work in rails?
Jace Morgan
I'm about to be a senior in college and have done all of my internships and personal projects in web. I've decided to take my next year to get very good at something non-web (along with keeping up with webdev) and I think I've decided on Rust. I wanted to learn something not so common just because it's fun, and Rust seems like the best bet of the new ones to be somewhat relevant. And who knows, maybe it'll become a decent backend web language. Does anyone have any opinion on it or what other language they'd suggest?
Angel Hall
minimal. cheers
Cameron Ortiz
Just become a tranny user. Or just tell them you identify as a non-binary androgyne.
Leo Taylor
Wow, yet another Sup Forums clone. Haven't seen enough of those already.
Ethan Price
Ruby works, try Rails, it's a fucking nightmare. I've been using Windows since 3.0 and I didn't manage to get that horseshit to run without it spewing sqlite or other errors. On Arch I got everything working within 10 minutes with some Jewtube guides, including the github SSH crap, even though I've only been actively using a Linux based OS for a month now. It simply fucking works.
Joshua Long
>Ruby works, try Rails, it's a fucking nightmare
Ah, Rails. I spent more time on StackOverflow than actually writing code. Good times.
Bentley Smith
im kinda new on this, i have no intentions of doing web dev as work just for fun, what do you guys think about framework like bootstrap?
Angel Johnson
Try django or laravel
William Ramirez
what music do guys listen do when you are working? here is what i am listening to
is it possible to scrape w/ static html? if so, how? Unfortunately I need to sent post and get messages on other servers and you don't get server side stuff on github
Jonathan Cox
need a hero to fix that embed
James Harris
How can people listen to anything but classical music without getting distracted?
Joshua Richardson
Well pajeet, you see most people use toilets and don't have autism.
>>"wtf you mean you can't fix our Pajeet-tier code, they wrote a bunch of documents"
fucking hell man, I really do want to see the numbers some time for how much outsourced devs are supposed to save companies. Because EVERY time we've had to work with them its taken weeks longer to get shit done and thats not including the extra staff brought on to fix their shit.
Easton Howard
or you could just use bootstrap and save yourself time and effort. No need to reinvent the fucking wheel when its already done and works just fine.
And tbf, if you're making a full-featured website, you can't center it on bootstrap anyway, but you would still like to use it so you can focus on non-front-end shit
Christopher Peterson
Is there any advantage of owning a mac over having linux for web development? Regarding maybe de IDEs available, the hardware support? I have a linux computer but sometimes I wonder if owning a Mac mini would be worth it, considering it also has bash and a lot of tools for web developers.
Owen Gomez
mostly because it justwerks, and because it can interface with linux, eg your servers, just as easily. There are some useful tools that are mac-only as well. Sequelpro is the best MySQL gui out there
