Anyone know the CS:GO crate thing where it ticks through the skins then settles on one?
How would you do that with JS?
I can think like, you have all the images with set dimensions, then when it scroll % width = 0 play the tick sound, but how do you know what image is under the ticker?
Jason Butler
Use data-id attributes on the img tag to store the unique ID of the item.
Carter Campbell
Yeah, but how do I actually know that the ticker is over an image to grab that data-att?
Brandon Young
data-selected="true"? Store the current ID in a variable somewhere? There's a hundred ways to do it.
John Powell
nvm, figured it out.
Generate the winning item before, put it in a random position after a minimum amount. Populate positions around it with other random items. Scroll to it to make it look like it's real.
Brandon Miller
fuck python

I've made a shitty website.
On the main index i have a .gif. If i leave the main index for another page and then hit the browsers "previous page" button, the gif is no longer playing.
How do i fix this?
Joseph Reed
How can i get "lat" : 37.4223664, "lng" : -122.084406
Idk m8. I'm not a web dev. I just come here to shitpost.
Landon Collins
does the gif loop infinitely when you first view it? (gifs can be made to play once)
sounds like a browser bug
Ethan Morales
new as fuck to webdev
im going through some of the material in OP, but have some questions
I have a web host that offers PHP and MySQL. what does that mean? Can I just upload my entire db onto their servers? Can I access the db remotely through MySQL Workbench or MySQL Command Line Client? (I don't want to manage my db through cpanel and phpmyadmin) Or do I need a local machine that holds the db and act as a server?
If you have answers or know resources you can direct me to, would be much appreciated
Aaron Cox
I've been away for a while, what's the current memeJS framework?
>I have a web host that offers PHP and MySQL. what does that mean? Means the server has php and mysql installed and available for you to use if you want.
>Can I just upload my entire db onto their servers? Yes.
>Can I access the db remotely through MySQL Workbench or MySQL Command Line Client? (I don't want to manage my db through cpanel and phpmyadmin) For shared hosting, the easiest thing is probably to just develop on your local machine however you like and then do a sqldump and send it to your server (ftp or cpanel's annoying file upload thing) and import it with phpmyadmin.
Generally you only want localhost to be able to directly access to the db for security reasons. If your hosting provider allows you ssh access (They usually don't for shared hosting) you can just ssh into the machine and do whatever you want with it.
>Or do I need a local machine that holds the db and act as a server? No, that's the whole point of using hosting. You're essentially renting a (virtual) machine in a datacenter somewhere that stays running all the time for your users to access. You could run a website from a local machine, but that's generally a pain in the ass to do for various reasons.
Justin Jenkins
You're right.
It happens in firefox, but not in chromium.
Christopher Bennett
Are you opposed to using jQuery?
Gavin James
You should check out Google App Engine, it has a free trail. It has very strict control of db access. If your IP address is static, you simply open it up to that IP and you can access the db with whatever program you want.
At first GAE seemed a little daunting, but once you go through the short tutorial, you'll be up and running in no time and find that it's much simpler than traditional hosts.
thanks for the reply. >develop [MySQL] on your local machine however you like and then do a sqldump and send it to your server My db is >10GB, may change often, from interacting with clients as well as from my input, frequently exchanging the whole db sounds unrealistic. Surely there must be a better way? this seems great, if maybe a bit overboard. why do you suggest GAE instead of any of these other cloud data packages?
Robert Perez
I have very little experience in web development but a shitton in desktop and mobile (iOS) shit. I am also skilled in visual design. I want to pivot from my current job as a technical-heavy mobile developer to a more design-heavy developer. My current job is killing me and it seems like pursuing front-end is my best option for that. I'm on no deadline so investing time in learning the necessary skills is an accepted necessity. Will I be committing suicide by doing this? Literally any comment/feedback/criticism/ridicule/insults are welcome.
Caleb Bailey
Also you may ridicule me if I have erroneously assumed that front end will sate my desire for a design job.
App Engine is pay for what you need/use model. So if you have a very low traffic website, it will cost you almost nothing. If you have a lot of traffic, it scales up indefinitely.
You don't actually use all those services from your pic, they are just available in case you want to use them. I just use App Engine, Cloud SQL and Cloud Storage, but you may only need the first two. I don't know how much your current host is charging, but GAE almost never, and I mean never, goes down and is always incredibly fast. If you only use it for small websites, you might end up paying $5-10/month at most. Very secure and easy to secure as well.
Christopher James
Why are so many laptop configurators so fucking shit? I'm buying a Dell XPS 15 but the options are incredibly stupid and you have to start from a handful of shitty presets with seemingly little relation between the specs.
Looks like I'm just going to try to get everything else I want and then just buy 3rd party RAM to get 16 GB. Ridiculous.
Ryder Johnson
How should i do that in jquery? I dont rly use it that much
Michael Anderson
Does it make sense to buy a 1080p laptop in 2016? The XPS is my pick, too, but it's been pissing me off because what I really want is QHD with the larger screen size but the 15 only lets you pick 1080p or 4K. 4K lowers the battery life drastically whereas the QHD on the 13 is still great.
So yeah, bad configurations.
Colton Davis
High DPI is a meme. None of the Desktop Environments scale properly. You just end up using a smaller screen resolution to fit the screen size.
Juan Hughes
Which should I learn first: JavaScript, Python or PHP?
Luis Moore
What does /wdg/ think of wordpress? Thinking of doing freelance wordpress sites.
Levi Nelson
Really? I fiddled around with a XPS 15 4k in Best Buy yesterday and it seemed pretty impressive. I use Windows 10 for my work (.NET). My desktop is only 1080p, so I don't have any real experience with higher resolutions on a personal, long-term basis.
Levi Reyes
PHP, then JavaScript. Python in notoriously easy so you'll pick it up with no problem.
Benjamin Edwards
all 3
Gavin Roberts
wordpress is pretty much mandatory for freelance web dev
Caleb Rogers
Maybe it's better in Windows 10, I don't know, but in Windows 8 my high DPI laptop had tons of problems with various programs. Lots of scaling issues.
When it comes to Linux, GNOME3 can only scale by integers. I think KDE's scaling is probably better, but I haven't tested it.
Parker Rodriguez
How can i call one function from another in same php file? function 1 public function fun1(){ echo "fun1"; } public function fun2(){ fun1(); }
is it something like this?
Colton Bennett
have you tried to [CODE]json_decode($json, true)[/CODE] ?
Jonathan Bennett
>My db is >10GB, may change often, from interacting with clients as well as from my input, frequently exchanging the whole db sounds unrealistic. Surely there must be a better way?
I'm a bit confused on the use case here. You already have a 10GB database, but nowhere to put it? Are you trying to port some kind of local MS Access thing to a web app or something?
Jose Hall
>Are you trying to port some kind of local MS Access thing to a web app or something? basically. I had been using the db on a local machine but now I need to physically move around where the only thing I can count on is internet access. So all I really need for now is a remote-access-enabled SQL db (which, as it turns out, isn't as simple as it sounds, at least in MSSQL).
But I was planning on getting into web dev anyways, so I thought a nice first step would be to set up a back-end on which my database can sit. Eventually, I'm going to build web apps that uses the db, so it's all gravy.
My background is in db management/data mining though, so maybe my whole thought process of sitting a db on a web host is wonky.
Juan Cruz
Personally, I learned Python first for things unrelated to web development, but any of them would be a good choice. You can use JS on the frontend and backend. Python is particularly easy to read and write. PHP used to be incredibly popular (and still is, although it's declining) so depending on your location, jobs are particularly plentiful.
Samuel Jenkins
>basically. I had been using the db on a local machine but now I need to physically move around where the only thing I can count on is internet access. So all I really need for now is a remote-access-enabled SQL db (which, as it turns out, isn't as simple as it sounds, at least in MSSQL).
Okay, that makes a lot more sense.
>But I was planning on getting into web dev anyways, so I thought a nice first step would be to set up a back-end on which my database can sit. Eventually, I'm going to build web apps that uses the db, so it's all gravy.
Weeeelll...What you're trying to do is actually somewhat involved and complicated. You should probably start off by learning some PHP (Or pretty much any other programming language if you prefer). If you just put a naked database on the internet somewhere, you're just asking people to fuck with it, so you really need a web app with some form of authentication sitting in front of it. You should also know how to implement basic security precautions to prevent things like SQL injections.
>My background is in db management/data mining though, so maybe my whole thought process of sitting a db on a web host is wonky.
The database lives on the server where it can only be accessed by the web application software. A user sends an *http request* to the app, and the app *responds* to that request according to programmed logic by reading or writing data to the db and sending the result to the user.
Dominic Cox

Josiah Bell
Can someone recommend a Windows web host? I've used Linode for all of my hosting, but they're Linux only.
Juan Cruz
>Windows web host lad
Adam Lee
I need Windows because I'm deploying applications written in .NET and running on MS SQL Server. I looked at Azure, but it would be $60/month.
Angel Moore
im sure you guys will be pleased to know that I am making progress on my paint clone made w/ paper.js
got color and width options working. now just gotta add some different shapes/tools.
any other ideas for stuff I could add?
Cameron Lewis
that's what you get when you work with Windows.
Adam Cook
Fuck, I'm so retarded. I thought you wanted to read the results from the browser so I spent the last few hours figuring out how to pull in the data in using jQuery and making it POST the lat and lng so you could pick them up in PHP. I'm way better at PHP, but now I'm to tired to start over. Good luck. The fuckery with the data is that it's first stored in an array at position zero and the rest can be accessed in the typical multidimensional array fashion. So in PHP, something like [geometry][location][lat] and so on.
Which is better specifically for HTML5 and CSS: freecodecamp or w3schools? Specifically, I want more projects to develop so I can not only learn the basics but apply them as well.
Charles Walker
w3schools is outdated garbage. Go with FCC.
Oliver Lee
I'm afraid to go to sleep /wdg/, because I know that when I wake up I'm going to find an email from the one job prospect I have left telling me they've decided to go with someone else.
I don't know what i'm going to do
Isaac Baker
Which text editor is best: atom.io, brackets.io, or sublime text?
Mason Lee
I've heard it's far better in Windows 10, but I don't feel a need to go higher than 1080p on a laptop. I wouldn't say it's meme tier, but I think that it's not that useful unless you're either a content creator of some sort (mostly photography at this point) or you have a lot of >1080p content (unlikely, and most services won't have it for years to come). The battery life is more valuable, for sure.
That said, the other "amusing" thing with the XPS 15 is that you have to pay out the ass to get a 1080p version with their bigger battery (I think it's like $1,600 base). It's laughable how much better the XPS 13 configuration options are.
Connor Hernandez
then just get some side jobs. don't pressure yourself doing 9 to 5.
I've used brackets and its better than sublime IMO. its just a matter of preference. you should try to use those three to see what you want.
Jason Ross
I mostly use atom, but when I need to format huge files i have to do it in sublime.
sublime really performs well, but atom can be customized to the however you want it.
Lincoln Morris
I can't get any job
atom is really good and sexy as hell but it's fucking slow. it needs at least 8 gigs of ram to run but i've managed to fuck it up on 16 with a bad regular expression search
sublime is faster and can be themed to look good, but it's not as customizable
Jason Barnes
Atom. If you don't have a decent amount of RAM, Sublime. If you only do front-end and like it, Brackets is pretty good, but it just doesn't measure up as well.
Christopher Cox
8GB?
I have a HP Z800 with dual 6-core Xeons and 128GB RAM, and Atom is still ridiculously fucking slow.
Mason Clark
atom runs just fine on my 16-gig MBP
Brayden Jackson
Don't give up lad. You're not a quitter. Don't be a fucking quitter.

i've got plenty of projects on github that are unfinished useless pieces of shit and few that are at least mediocre.
Is it better to have many github projects that includes those unfinished and unworthy creations or should I focus on having only few projects that are clean code and expentantly functional?
Daniel Hill
finish those shits. at least they know you can DELIVER. then you can refactor and clean up later. because efficiency takes time. you'll be experienced enough to do clean code even before you clean up your code.
Luis Hall
create large projects, then you're forced to keep the code good enough because you won't be able to remember everything that's going on at some point and when you need to read the bits you forgot you can immediately understand it.
for larger projects you need to know various design and architectural patterns which are usually used by most larger development companies. but if your aim is just some wordpress faggotry then you wont need it
Eli Sanders
why the hatin' on wordpress? You can do clean code especially in plugin, widget and theme development.
Austin Nguyen
I am a bit of a beginner here and only really comfortable with HTML and CSS.
I want to have a gallery page on the site I am making that takes pictures from Instagram, is there a good way of doing this that is also good for seo (so I can add an alt tag to pics)
Also things like auto pagination would be nice.

PHP is still the main player in web dev, 80% of the world website is created by PHP and I wouldn't be worry about much about python. It's just a fade and would probably end in a few months
Brody Phillips
Its from OUR instagram. We keep the instagram updated, and it automatically updates the websites gallery with whats current.
Chase Clark
why not just uh you know actually use instagram for this?
>guys how do I make a website to show me my recent youtube videas
Nathan Green
Because we work in the vintage car/motorbike industry and a lot of our customers are not on instagram, at best they find us on google or go on our website by referral.
I was thinking that this way we only need to update one account, but both get updated.
Isaac Morgan
if the Instagram pictures are from your account, yeah you can do that. IDK just google instagram developers API, I guess.
Xavier Fisher
Good for you. At least it can signal search engines that you always have content. why not leverage also Facebook and Twitter for your website's content. Both the website and the social media accounts will be always active. Win-win.
Kayden Flores
This is what I am hoping to do, my main issue is that we don't have the budget to get someone to make a site so I am just learning and doing it myself, its not too hard to do the basic stuff, and I suppose if I make it I can maintain it rather than relying on someone else.
Dominic Phillips

The page does appear responsive and all and there's no errors in console. Any idea what I should be looking out for?
Jonathan Wilson
what is it about? Is 56 users really enough to make money?
