sounds super neat, will do friend. I was trying to push myself to do this back in August 2015 but never got around to it. Really need to buckle down. I work a 9-5 but I have no real life so I can easily redirect the 5-6 hours I spent up after work doing a few hours of coding.
Julian Allen
best of luck, but be warned, it won't be easy. Learning is the easy part, the hard part is dealing with all the frustration that comes when you're fucking up and can't find the reason. When you spend the whole day trying to fix your code and it turns out you were using [""] when the correct thing was {''}, or you import the header files but you import them in the wrong order so nothing works, you just get so pissed you wanna smash your computer and go jerk off to 2D anime trannies.
Really, for me the hardest is not the learning itself, but dealing with all the bullshit surrounding it. Getting your IDE properly set up, getting git to run (with the shell, not the lazy drag-and-drop), compatibilizing your software version with the one from the book you're studying from. Just don't let it wear you out. Remember, we're all gonna make it.
I'm doing a flask app, and would like a lightweight document noSQL document DB to live on the server with the app until I build out some hardware for it.
What would you recommend?

Are dynos from Heroku the same as Doker's containers? Can I run mutliservices on dynos and they'll work as well as in Doker?

How do you offer users the light version of your site? I looked it up and SO recommended using a JS timeout to trigger a user notification.
The problem being that if you have a server problem - the load event may never be fired. Any ideas Sup Forums?

Has anyone here ever made anything with Phaser.js? I'm thinking of making a cute little mobile game, maybe wrapping it in react native and putting it on google play for $0.99 or w/e. It seems like a meme but so far im impressed with how quickly I could slap together a prototype, and it seems like the strongest contender for JS vidya frameworks.
Wyatt Wood
How do you guys deploy web apps? I've developed a weak little app and I've been struggling to figure out how to get this thing uploaded. Websites are much easier, but the buzzwords and choices on AWS and IBM Bluemix are killing me.
It's just a shitty little MEAN application. Need to figure this out soon. Help? Any advice? Would be forever grateful, I gotta get this up soon.
Elijah Morris
Containers and dynos are not the same type of thing. In fact, you can run docker containers in dynos.
Containerisation is an alternative to virtualization (like virtualbox), the difference being containers share a kernel with the host OS, and virtual machines do not. This makes virrtual machines much more slow to start up and more taxing on your computer, which is the cost of supposedly more security. There is much debate about the pros and cons.
Heroku is just a layer on top of aws EC2 instances to make it more developer friendly. Any server + db combo that runs on linux can be run on Heroku just like AWS' EC2 + RDS. Dynos are merely how Heroku measures how much stuff of theirs you are using so that they can charge you. Dynos are not used anywhere else and you do not really need to worry about dynos or how they work unless you are specifically looking at your app to optimize for cost when deploying on Heroku. However, it doesn't make sense to put int he effort to do that unless you are a business that is reachinc considerable scale. For learning and side projects, just deploying to heroku should never be to costly, unless you are intentionally writing an app to use as many resources as possible as it's primary function (why you would do this, I don't know).
Juan Phillips
Yeah, phaser is pretty cool. i made a small paltformer with it, and a flappy bird clone with my roomate's face. The platformer is designed for a keyboard, but the I wrapped the flappy bird clone in Cordova and put it on the Play Store (apple denied me because flappy bird clone, this is to be expected).
So yeah, I would recommend it.

Is anyone here into server-side rendering?
Some things I've noticed.
>Only vroomjs and only v8 is actually cross platform, anything by taritsyn seems to be exclusively Windows and can even break vroom >it's plausible react.net, or packages associated to it, are deliberately broken and breaks too often to be normal, vroom won't work with it even if it works on its own as of writing >Babel does run on v8 3.1, don't bother using requirejs just refer to it as "Babel", aka Babel.TransformFile. Only libraries that use the document variable don't run. What's interesting here is the possibility people are deliberately breaking their own packages or making it only work with obscure settings. I strongly suspect its a webdev pro thing to write your own JavaScript Babel interoperability code because it's deceptively simple and so extremely powerful. I suspect everyone has a project that pools vroomjs and then runs Babel with it.
After my experience in this, I now completely believe the powers that be think web dev would be too easy and too powerful with server-side rendering. The "contributors" posting literally broken code who happen to have Microsoft connections says it all. Microsoft don't like how no one would use mvc and razor if reactjs can be used instead.
If this gets out, web dev becomes too easy.

Not sure if I should post here or in /sqt/ but here it goes. Long story short I want to make a chrome extension that posts a random op or reply from Sup Forums to a discord server me and a few buddies are part of. I don't need any help with the discord api or creation of the chrome extension because they're very nicely documented. My problem comes from my complete lack of web dev knowledge and being bitch slapped so hard by Allow-Control-Allow-Origin that my head is still spinning. I just now saw that Sup Forums has an API but as stated earlier my complete lack of web dev skills prevents me from knowing how to use it. If anyone could point me in the right direction for starting to understand the API and how to pull individual posts from Sup Forums at random from a chrome extension that would be super appreciated. TL;DR user is too fucking stupid to understand how to use the Sup Forums api and is groveling for help.
Nathan Miller
You really think the company that created the whole "only Indians may be paid to code" wouldn't stifle web development? They're literally the kind of idiots that would have people excavate with teaspoons instead of trucks because more jobs.
No, it's actually a possibility that Microsoft, or more likely Facebook who have always had lefty leanings, is actually making this difficult on purpose so more people can be employed.

Hudson Wood
An API has different meanings depending on the context, but in this case it refers to a web server that can return data in JSON format. Once you have that JSON you can manipulate it and feed it to the discord api. You need to use http methods to talk to a web API, e.g GET, PUT, POST or DELETE. In this case, since the Sup Forums api is read only, the only ones you'll be allowed to make are GET requests. I recommend you download the Postman chrome extension, its a gui for making http requests, and its pretty essential for debugging web apis. I hope this helps.
btw I saw your post on stackoverflow too and it made me smile

I want to have some weird repositories for Git and I don't know if it's possible.
I am making a framework, and I want two different groups of people to get the latest version of it, but from their branches they each can do some upgrades and changes, that I want to accept and change back to my main branch. The problem is, I don't want each other to know that the other branch exists, and I want them to be at different locations/servers
Is this possible? How would you do it?
Jonathan Morris
depends on what your coding setup is. I was using VisualStudio2015 (for C#, obviously), with 4gb RAM, and it was utter shit. Granted, my laptop was shit overall, it was the cheapest Acer I could find, which I bought before I started coding.
So I bought a Lenovo T430, 8gb Ram, i5 processor, everything runs smooth and fast. I also use PyCharm, and it works great, never had any problems.
Michael Harris

i used to have 4gb and ran into limits sometimes i upgraded to 8gb and it hasn't ran out yet

If we're talking about github you can just create N branches and assign the people (groups if you have premium) as collaborators.
Then you just merge your branches manually. git checkout master git pull origin master git merge he_was_right git push origin master

>The problem is, I don't want each other to know that the other branch exists why? That seems retarded.
>and I want them to be at different locations/servers That's entirely possible.

The more shit you use the more configuration you'll have need and the more shit you'll have to set up.
Find a simpler way to get whatever you need to get done.

I'm just confused about where to include an outside JS library like Konva, and whether or not to add it to vendor and use the asset pipeline, or to add it through Yarn and work with the new webpack structure.

anyone have experience using cookies for user setting permanence? Like they would never have to log in but whenever they go to the site from that device their profile color would be the same as what they set last time, etc. Anyone got a good article or something?
Jonathan Ward
I bought a used T420 for very cheap, I thought 4GB would be a problem (I has 8GB on my previous box), but it really isn't. Memory is very rarely the bottleneck due to it being so cheap. Nowadays everything comes with 4GB minimum so people don't always realize just how much memory is that. Just run "hfree" yourself and check just how many times you go over 2GB... Probably very rarely, and above 3GB, I'm gonna say never. If all you do is have a ton of tabs open one of them being an HD video, your computer would be fine on 2GB even.
Is there an easy way to view unique visitors? My setup is django + nginx.

I do that and I have no problem honestly. I'll even have a podcast app running, sometimes I'll pop open a game, I'll have a text editor and an IDE open. Zero problem honestly. Especially because I'm not using some sort of vast multi monitor setup where every opened program needs to be going full blast 24/7. If I were to get into video editing and more into graphic design/content creation I can see wanting to go 8/16gb.

Carter Walker
I have a web application that I developed using PHP and MySQL. One of my clients need it to also be available offline because a few of his offices have shitty internet connection.
Setting up a local server that syncs from time to time with my current online server seems to be the easiest option as those places hardly ever need data from other offices, but I dont know who is going to be responsible for those servers and can't trust them not to steal my code/product. What should I do?

GNU/Linux with LUKS on all partitions is what i think would be the best, they wont be able to start the machine without the volume key though, so be sure to add an big UPS to the server.
Evan Howard
What CMS is best if I want full control over the look and feel of my website (I don't give a shit about themes), but I want someone else to be able to edit the content of the site without having to actually go into html files? I guess preferably a wysiwyg editor, but just the ability to edit text files or something simple like that would be ok.
Basically I'm going to handle the actual design of the site myself, but I need it to be easy enough for a non-programmer to edit content and possibly deploy the updated stuff to a host.
From what I've read, Wordpress, Joomla, and Drupal are the most popular options. I've also looked into Jekyll.
Does anyone have experience with any of these?
Nathan Scott
I'm working on a wordpress site and I'm trying to create a very specific effect. I'd like the active section of the main navigation to have a box shadow surrounding it with absolutely no shadow on the bottom. I've been able to achieve this effect through giving the main content div a solid background and a higher z-index than the nav div but this clearly isn't the right solution because then the dropdown menus are hidden behind the main content. Is there some clever positioning I can do to make this sandwiching of divs work? Is there something obvious I'm missing here? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Brandon Stewart
I'm not entirely sure I'm understanding exactly how your setup is laid out. Which div has the box shadow? And is the other div covering it on the bottom?
In any case, I think you have two options: 1. Use a separate div solely for the purpose of covering the box shadow. (Assuming that won't cover up some content in turn.)
or
2. Force the dropdown menus to be on top of the other divs. Put an invisible div at the level where you want the dropdown menus to appear. Give it a transform:translate(0,0) property. This makes it the new frame of reference for any descendants with a position:fixed property. I think if you make the dropdowns fixed, they should be in the same stacking position as the invisible div. (You can also just add that transform to a div at the desired stacking position.
Blake Myers
fuck that just have them remote in
Charles Robinson
there are plenty, ghost and wordpress come to mind
Jekyll is amazing for dev bloggers, there are some products you can stitch together to give yourself the wysiwyg editor, but for clients I don't recommend at all.
Wordpress is popular for a very good reason, it gets a lot of bad rep due to being bloated and insecure but that can be avoided by not loading everything under the sun as a plugin for a simple site.
Jordan Jackson
Thanks for the info, I'll look into Ghost. But I'll probably end up going with Wordpress, since everyone seems to say it's the easiest for non-technical people, and it looks like a lot of hosts integrate with it pretty seamlessly, which are both plusses.

Benjamin Evans
Okay guys another quick question, you may know me from and after a day of messing around I finally got what I wanted. (please don't laugh too hard) function testing(){ var httpGet = new XMLHttpRequest();
If Im not looking to build a full web app, but instead want to build a mostly static website for a business (about 10-15 pages), what are my options in ways of a framework? I'd like to have a general template (a lot of the pages will look the same and share most css) but full control of how everything is displayed on a page by page basis through code
Last time I had to do this was years ago and I used Drupal. But I'd rather not touch php. Django seems like it could possibly be a good but also kind of heavy weight.
I know I could just write everything in straight HTML, CSS, and JS but that seems like a recipe for disaster.
Henry Gonzalez
>I know I could just write everything in straight HTML, CSS, and JS but that seems like a recipe for disaster.
How?
Jayden Bennett
If I want the same header and footer on every page, I'd have to change 15 files if I make any changes to one.
The 'return' statement in your function doesn't go anywhere. You need to call your print function (console.log()) from within your onreadystatechange function.
Alternately, you could pass a function into testing() and have that function called as part of the onreadystatechange function. Then your call would be testing(console.log). Or something similar; I don't usually work in JS.
Julian Adams
Thanks for the reply, I'll give these a try when I'm back at my PC.
Joseph Lee
Here you go: function testing() { return new Promise(resolve => { var httpGet = new XMLHttpRequest();
