What's the best way to close a menu/dropbox thing when the user clicks outside? binding to the window or document event seems so hackish.

I need a place to host an mp3 file where it can be accessed at domain.com/MyAudio.mp3

Godaddy's delegate access is down right now but I need to put this audio somewhere until they're done repairing. Where can I do this.. or would any of you be willing to host the file on a domain of yours temporarily?

>>55096192
Bind a click listener to the body to intercept the next click and see, if it was inside your menu.

>>55096228
Buy a $3 VPS and don't use godaddy.

>>55096399
It needs to be publically available, does this work for that? I can hit a domain.com/file.mp3 publically?

>>55096484
Do you not know what a VPS is?

>>55096512
No

Is storing a varied amount of page content in database and then rendering it on request a really shitty idea when compared to rendering it on submission and then presenting that via templating?

I've never heard of storing html in a database, templating is the standard way to go. You can either template server side or client

>>55096369

>>55097524

>>55097625

>>55098079

>>55097692

>>55096192
I like to give modals an invisible full-viewport overlay that sits behind the modal itself and handles click events.

>>55096561
Maybe there's some weird edge case where this makes sense (eg GitHub gists), but this is pretty universally a bad idea. Its best practice to separate your content from your display logic, because you want to be able to change your display logic without manually editing all your content. This is exactly why markdown blogging has gained popularity over HTML WYSIWYG. Also saving user submitted content that's executable in any way is dangerous.

Hello guys, I have a question so if anyone could shed some light, that'd be super.

I'm a high-school dropout but recently decided it was time to go back and get my degree.
I have a choice between web design or web dev

Im not sure which to pick, web dev is the harder course but I enjoy graphical design a lot more and am kinda stupid.

What would you guys advice ?

using node and redis as my session store (all in memory, not using the mode in which it writes every change to disk, only snapshots every 60s) should I manipulate session variables synchronously?
every tutorial seems to do it normally

>>55096548

>>55096888
I agree, but I've never found a better way.

Bottom tier of web design is extremely competitive because of retards like pic related. But finding a GOOD front end dev is nearly fucking impossible. It requires two very diverse skill sets of design/arts and programming. So very few people who are smart enough to be good devs bother doing pure front-end, because it generally pays less and requires you to actually have some artistic talent as well.

Also don't confuse the course difficulty for actual job difficulty. Front end programming is just as complicated as back end. The course probably seems easy because they don't teach anything worthwhile beyond basic js.

>>55097524
yes, use {} to repeat something a given number of times, eg.

\\x[a-z0-9]{2}\\x[a-z0-9]{5}

also, it's a good idea to use raw strings so that backslashes work the way you expect - use r"expression" instead of just "expression" (see the python doc pages on re)

>>55098152
using {0,2} will match 0-2 times, not 2 times - make sure that's intended behavior

>>55099095

Link to article?

I need help with logic.
Lets say I have a set of messages being chucked out of a DB with PHP. Each message will have basically the following format: The message content and a delete button to remove it.

<div class="message">
    <p class="date"><?= $date ?> | <?= $sender ?></p>
    <p class="message"><?= $message ?></p>

    <button id="detele_btn">Delete</button>
</div>

How do I go about making each of those buttons correspond to deleting that specific message? (i.e When I click on the nth delete button, message n gets deleted)
I realize I might need to include some JS/jQuery somewhere to help.

Any guides out there for responsive wireframing in photoshop?

>>55099222
There's many possible ways. One fairly good option would be something like this:

<div class="message" id="message_<?=$message_id ?>">

Then when a delete button is pressed, get the button's parent element and pull the id from its id attribute. This will all be done in JS and should not require jQuery unless you're a wimp. Use the id to delete the message in whatever way you've set up.

Also, I'm assuming you have a proper primary key in your database that you can use as the ID.

anyone know how i an get html highlighting working in ts files if the html tags are in strings?
particularly im talking about the template property in angular 2 components.
kinda irks me since it works out of the box in jsx when i tried out react.
heres what i mean

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: '<h1>Angular 2 Template</h1>'
})

basially i want the html parts highlighted inside the string. even if i use multi line strings with backticks.

>>55101523
oic

Yeah the "I know how to program but not what to program thing"

I'd actually recommend doing some front-end development, it teaches you a lot about who you are and what you like in indirect ways.

You can still bring your technical backend knowledge to the table by being a logical bridge between the two. Strictly front end people are best suited for something like Photoshop but you can bring that to fruition in ways that make sense and are relevant to the backend.

Best of luck man :) reddit may be the best of communities but it's still quite a remarkable tool

There are some online tools which will do OCR and try and find the closest font, but they are only as good as their DB so YMMV. Usually they will at least find a font that is close, although often they aren't free fonts.

It's not a font. It's unicode full width characters

>>55099460
>Umm, PHP and Ruby are not front-end languages..
Correct, I don't know why that triggered you

On the whole though FizzBuzz represents a fundamental understanding of how computers work, why they exist and they kind of code you want to be writing. If you can't figure that out atleast in premise that's a huge red flag.

Front-end is more difficult than backend I think, but not because you need to be "artistic". I do mostly backend using Node, the environment in which my code executes is 100% in my control. On the frontend you have to write code that will work on a myriad of different browsers, and ideally write a page which functions without JavaScript enabled at all, all while keeping the resulting page as small as possible.

Front-end is very easy to do badly because UX is about more than how pretty it is. Plenty of front-end nerds focus on making it look nice and fancy, and end up with a 6mb page full of janky gimmicky crap that is awful to actually use.

At work our sites have to work on shitty old non-touchscreen phones running opera mini which could be running on a shitty gprs connection, because we have clients in the Caribbean and India and people there can't use most of the crap that most front-end devs shit out these days.

No, I'm plenty "artistic", but databases aren't that hard. Frontend is almost entirely engineering though because it's more important that something works and performs well, than whether it looks pretty.

>KEK. Only if you wrote the OS, libraries, JS runtime, etc

You don't have to have written it yourself to be in control of it you pedantic autist. I know what runtime os, webserver etc I'm using and what features they have. I don't have to do feature testing or write polyfills for a variety of different shitty browsers with missing features.

Oh god, PLEASE guys, give me some feedback fast. I have to finish this in about 24 hours. It's just an architecture of a main content in the front page.

I've been on Dribbble for far too long, my standards are messed up now.

Should I add some more links on the right in the header, or just put an image as a background?

3 columns or 2 for the content? I've tried this 3-column look but I don't feel it. I have NO clue how to organize it. Basically, I want to have

He is right and wrong. Bootstrap brings in a shitton of unnecessary crap that you will almost definitely not use and if you just want a simple responsive grid you may as well use a smaller framework.

On the other hand, even with all that unnecessary shit it's not going to slow down your site in any noticeable way so he's being a bit precious about >muh bloat

Say I want to scrape pastebin.com but I'm too cheep to pay to whitelist my IP

how do I jew them?

>>55109855
is scrape a term outside of SEO?

youre not talking about targeting pastebin search keywords are you?

>>55109964

yes

I'm talking about extracting data from their website with a headless browser

The problem is they sell the ability to do this for 25 bucks so they try to detect IPs that are trying to scrape them

>>55110055
Just use a bot that pretends to have a real browser, by using headers, and a proper-looking user-agent?

node.js question

I'm wondering if I can call a function within the callback associated with a mongodb connection, and successfully have that function interact with the database connection.

E.g.

mongoClient.connect(mongoURL, function(err, db) {
  // err handling
  var myCollection = db.collection('myCollection');
  nestedFunction();

  // nestedFunction is declared within the scope of the .connect callback
  function nestedFunction() {
    // code
    // then, a database query
    myCollection.find();
  }

}

I think it should be alright, provided nestedFunction is declared within the callback scope, right? I've only just moved nestedFunction into the callback, so I'm not entirely sure. I think it solves the issue I expect might happen.

>>55110055
there would be no value to the data unless you are in direct competition with pastebin which I know you arent

>>55110230

which is why I'm not paying for it

Will I ever encounter any issues with connections hanging because they're waiting for the database connection to close (i.e. db.close())?

Thanks for the help

>>55110841
no.

this is called using pooled connections and it is recommended by the framework designers.

call db.close() in cleanup function at the end of your application's life

Okay look. When a Java baby comes to Javascript and thinks he already knows everything because he fizzbuzzed his way through university, that's understandable, he doesn't know any better.

I'm trying to use the redhen crm module with drupal 7. One page in the module lists all the contacts in a table, and there is a pager that cycles through all of the contacts if there are lots of results. The problem is the pager always shows only 2 pages no matter if there is only 1 total result, or if there are hundreds of results. The client needs this fixed, but I don't have a clue what is going on or how to troubleshoot this pager mess. Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot this problem? I'm desperate because I'm starting to look bad, but I have no clue where to begin to fix this problem. I'm pretty proficient with webdev and php, but this one is really stumping me because it is all in the core functionality and a module I didn't write. Does anyone have any clues about how I can figure this out?

Google doesn't give me anything on this specific error, similar errors are usually resolved by adding parenthesis to the method

Here is my route for delete in the controller:

I pray somebody will help me this time, a lot of people here right now...

Anyway, can you tell me which type looks the best to you (inside the red box there are 4 different types: Arial, Arial Condensed, Helvetica and Chronicle Display)?

Also, I'm not sure how to use effectively the middle part ("Traileri" section). I might have to switch the layout yet again, but I kinda like the left and right parts now.

>>55113002
Either the first one or the last one, imo. I'm leaning more towards the first.

Which ORM module would you guys recommend for Node?

>>55113046
Yeah, me too. The only thing is that I use the serif one for my article titles and wouldn't like to change that, but I can't tell anymore if it is fine if I use both the serif and sans serif.

See

>>55109233
>>55109197

E.g. I like the serif one for titles on the articles and for smaller thumbnails, like those on top of the black header, but I feel that the sans serif (Arial) is better for everything that is bigger and what I want people to focus on. But I don't know if I should mix them like that or go all in with one of them.

>>55110913
I will try it out.

I use Atom right now.

Mostly because it has a cool name but it's just really slow opening up.

I really like the folder open option.

But I can just write a bespoke web application to create an objectively better solution to the problem. I can choose everything about the stack that I'm using, what language, what database(s), caching solutions, whether its a RESTful api or whether the backend also handles the presentation, etc. Plus there are plenty of frameworks available in many different languages that enable rapid prototyping of web applications.

At work we use Node.js with Express, CouchDB and Redis as data stores. There are some elements on other servers that are still written in PHP but they're gradually being migrated over to Node. A new project we're starting might use PostgreSQL or RethinkDB, we haven't decided yet but it's nice to have all these options and be in control of what we're building.

So why would I take an existing web application and hack at it to try to fit it into a certain role unless I was actively looking for a cheap, quick and dirty solution? We do have one project using Wordpress, and that is literally just there as a cheap, quick dirty placeholder while some legal stuff gets sorted out, and its just there until we have to actually pay attention to it.

You know the font will change depending on what device the page is viewed on, right? Nitpicking over this shit is a waste of time. Focus on usability, nobody gives a shit about fonts except you.

>>55113242
You sound like a fucking retard. I'm pretty skilled with my craft, but sometimes you get brought into projects and they already have something set up that they want you to work with, and sometimes it makes absolutely no sense to start something from scratch when perfectly viable solutions exists.

i.e. you don't have a choice, because when a job lands in your sweatshop in India, you just have to do what your boss says or you don't get your bowl of rice at the end of the day.

>>55113249
Hm, well, it depends, but sans serif often ARE better for web. But due to high resolutions that rule is no longer really the case. A lot of sites use serifs.

Actually, I just tried Lora on my paragraphs and it looks very very good, but now it would probably be too much serifs. Ahh, I don't know, I just like very much Chronicle for big titles, Lora for paragraphs and Arial for everything else.

>>55113278
Will it change if I set it on my server and make users download it?

I don't think that nobody cares about fonts, I also enjoy this, but of course, I won't argue that I should focus on other things (which I do).

How'd you get that job?

>>55113242
yes, and then you can spend all your time updating and changing out all the carefully chosen bits of your custom stack when they get deprecated or something new comes along.

or you can move on to the next thing and leave it for some poor fuck who picks it up later, probably 2 years from now, and everything will feel horribly out of date.

but if you used a standard cms that lots of other people support, and everyone keeps updating it regularly, it stays pretty coherent, and doesn't degrade into a shitshow.

Amazon S3 would probably be quicker, cheaper.

Lets say I have this:

<div class="msgbox" id="1">
  This is the message content for this particular message.
  <button onclick="myFunction(1)">delete me</button>
</div>

Instead of manually passing the value of the div ID (1) to the function, is there a way to use jQuery or vanillaJS to get the value of the ID in which that particular function was triggered? Keep in mind that there will be several divs like this on the same page, but with different ID's.
It doesn't have to be like this either, if there's a better way to approach this please let me know.

>>55116400
http://jsbin.com/felewalopa/edit?html,js,output

The ID is necessary, because each message is being pulled from a database then displayed on the page. When I click the button I'll send the value to the backend to have that message deleted. Thanks anyway, I learned something new from this.

>>55116788

For semantic reasons, the ID attribute should be used for CSS only. If you need to use the ID for anything else then put it in a data-* attribute. You can use data-* attributes for storing anything from JSON to ID's like you need to.

There's any number of things a group project could be.
A chan in not-PHP
Forum software in not-PHP
An OS simulator in the browser
A complete CMS.
A search engine
A JavaScript game engine
A browser-based image editor
A fully-functional HTML5 Video Player (include support for things like MKV and subtitles, for example)

Just pick something you think isn't done enough, and think about whether you want to do that. Just going "anyone wanna start something?" and saying "i dunno what" won't get you anywhere.

>>55117601
You are missing my point. Why would someone look for co-founders on 4chan, which are likely to quit early on, instead of just starting to actually write code?

>>55117632
Meant to quote the other guy, but yeah, I get what you mean.

>>55117632
I have alot of my own projects but I've never done a group project before (self taught).

>>55117601
>A chan in not-PHP
Working on one in Go. Need a login system for board creation and administration. Looking into OpenID at the moment.

>>55117748
What have you got so far?

>>55117748
Just make your own? Security isn't that hard you know.

>>55117839
I'm more concerned about password recovery. Wouldn't I have to run my own mail server and make sure my mails are not filtered as spam somehow?

>>55117832
Basic stuff like demonisation and configuration loading/reloading, JSON API, Websocket client management with change feed subscription, almost finished image upload handler in pure Go and HTML template rendering.
On the client-side there's some post rendering I ported from the previous version, a working options framework and panel, feature detection for loading polyfills, websocket connectivity and reconnection via a FSM and a custom background setting script.

>>55117839
>Security isn't that hard you know.
Don't make anything.

>>55118036
do you really think salting and using bcrypt is that hard?

>>55118000
yeah password recovery would be an issue, but if it's just for a chan-like board do you really need it?

>>55118000
>password recovery
For such an event, you could probably code something to reset your password from the command-line, seeing as your only accounts will be those that are administrators of some sort.

>websocket
Oh? I'm guessing this is for instant updates to threads and shit, instead of polling the API for new updates every x seconds?

>>55118074
>>55118104
With board creation I probably do. What if somebody loses a password and can't access his board controls? On the other hand, would people want to associate any email with an imageboard? I'm still not sure about this.

Websockets will be used for updating posts as they are typed in character by character. If that proves too much overhead, then just word by word. You can see the latter implemented in a similar way on the previous version. Mind the cancerous community. https://meguca.org/a/

Can you use .fon fonts in websites?

>>55118074
Of course it isn't, you retard. But security doesn't only involve hashing passwords; there are tons of ways to fuck up a website. Security isn't easy, when you think you've covered everything, there's always something someone else will exploit.

>>55118204
No, you have to convert them.

>>55118253
As long as you're doing simple shit like base64 before entering stuff into your database and proper html purifying you're pretty much fine.

>>55118263
Can you display fonts like ttf without aliasing?

>>55118266
What about SQL injection?
What about XSS?
What about CRSF attacks?

idk what that is desu

>>55118306
I'm aware these techniques exist, but the higher the profile is of your website, the more difficult your security will become

>>55118170
>What if somebody loses a password and can't access his board controls?
In such an event, they would contact you about a lost password, and you can provide them a new one. It shouldn't be a problem unless you intend to have hundreds of mods, all of whom lose their passwords regularly.


>https://meguca.org/a/
I see. That's pretty neat.

>>55118325
Yes, but how do they prove a board is theirs?

>>55118324
That's why you use things that have been proven to work, I just use the php HTML Purifier because there have been almost 0 weaknesses found. Implementing security yourself isn't always the best option, but for a chan board why would you even need email control and stuff?

>>55118338
You give them a code and tell them it's their only option if they lose their password. Make them print it off or some shit.

I am thinking of starting a torrent site which will be highly specific to a niche.

It won't be a private tracker, just a public site like piratebay/kat which only has links to torrent and has no upload functionality.

How hard is it to find a webhost to let you host this type of content and let you do things like running a torrent client to extract details from a torrent?

How easy it is to get fucked by copyright and DMCA related shits?

>>55118393
>How hard is it to find a webhost to let you host this type of content
Very hard

>running a torrent client to extract details from a torrent
This changes per company.

>How easy it is to get fucked by copyright and DMCA related shits?
Depends if you're willing to hire legal help.

>>55117307
Oh, well your ID is stored in the DB right?

When you go through your while loop to print all the shit just add it in there on the button the same way you ID'd the div.

>>55118416

> Very hard
> This changes per company.

I've read about a host called online.net which is quite popular and lets you run seedbox on their servers. But I'm not sure if they'll ignore DMCA complaints :(

> Depends if you're willing to hire legal help.

Is this US related or you are talking about any corner of the world? I don't live in US.

Using zf2/php and need to set up an authentication system with user profiles as well. Was checking out ZfcUser - seems ok... docs are not great though.

Any thoughts on the best ways to set up authentication? either 3rd party libs or from scratch.

>Any thoughts on the best ways to set up authentication? either 3rd party libs or from scratch.

Use oAuth. You shouldn't store passwords yourself, it's very easy to fuck it up

>>55118939
99/100 times people get hacked because they don't update, it's a shitty theme or it's a shitty plugin. It's usually the plugin.

Stuff doesn't get depreciated very often. Plus if you built something using old tech it'll continue working just fine for as long as the server has power. The maintainability of an application has more to do with the code you write rather than what libraries and frameworks you used. Ideally you do want to actively maintain things, but if you don't there aren't really any huge downsides. At some point you might have to rewrite something or migrate functionality over to something new piece by piece, but that's not exactly a thing that needs to be done all the time.

But you can't just leave a CMA running, if a CMS does get updated you'd better be johnny on the spot with the updates because you could have a publicly known security hole in your site. Your CMS might as well be a remote access shell for every script kiddie on the internet.

The Panama Papers were leaked because an out of date WordPress slider gave the attackers access to the server. But it's fine lmao who cares just slap a CMA on there and walk away.

You can just forfeit all control over your development process, but you can't do so while pretending it's a good idea or expecting anyone to respect what you do. That's why you'll always be a Pajeet if you rely on CMS

>>55096127
I want to enable my users to send pictures through websockets. Basically I take the base64 representation of the picture, send it over my websocket and the other users just do

var img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = "data:image/png;base64" + message.picture;
document.getElementById("pictures").appendChild(img);

What's the worse a malicious user could do?

>>55121817
>img.src = "data:image/png;base64" + message.picture;
You're missing a comma at the end there, I think?
Besides that, the only thing that comes to mind is possibly malicious content inside of the image that takes advantage of known exploits in the format. Maybe use a sanitizer of some kind before sending the image, or at least verify that it's actually the correct format?

React is a huge load off after trying to build UIs in jQuery for years

Much better paradigm

Wordpress randomly doesn't show some thumbnails RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE

>>55121817
1) If you are sending anything big, don't use websockets. HTTP is a lot more optimized for this.
2) Don't encode as base64. Websockets support binary frames. Use ArrayBuffer.

I spent SO MUCH FUCKING TIME just writing a Wordpress template from scratch and adding some additional functions (if I can do it without a plugin, I code it myself). Now I don't feel "better" than others, I just feel I wasted my time. I didn't even use any libraries or CSS frameworks.

Meanwhile, """Pajeets""" get shit done in a day just hacking together plugins and bootstraps, customizing some premade theme and roll in cash - and their website is not even much worse than mine.

my python program is slowing down over time, even though I'm not doing anything else resource-intensive

I have an array of some 15 elements which is constantly being overwritten, and two pointers consistently increasing (which sets the filenames and position)

everything else is redone on each pass

what could be causing this? It went from 1.25 passes/second>1.1 passes/second>1pass/second and is dipping below now

surely it can't be the fault of the two variables, right? What else could it be?

>>55122822
That's because Wordpress is the only thing Pajeet knows. Do you have any idea how many Wordpress-only chopshops India has? They have oodles and oodles of prewritten plugins on hand because all they ever do is churn out the same websites with horrid underlying code

>>55122955
one possibility, if it is the fault of the variables, is making a tuple of the 5000 positions needed I suppose
would that speed things up?

>>55122955
Would be incredibly helpful if you could post code instead of task manager scrots

Mongo/node question:

I want to do an if check on whether or not a certain document exists within a collection in my database.

// code
}

god bless you fampai

>>55123001
First of all if you are going to use regex within a loop you should use re.compile() to compile each regexp first. Some of your regexes can probably be combined, too.

Generally your code is a bit hard to read, since everything is deeply nested within a loop. There's a lot of duplicated code (e.g. switch at lines 144 and 164 are completely identical) so the first thing you should try to do is break down these duplicate blocks into functions.

Consider trying to make your code a little more Pythonic:

if number_on==0:
    include_header=True
else:
    include_header=False

Can be changed to:

include_header = (number_on == 0)

And

categories=[]
for element in soup.findAll(('li'),{'class':'category normal'}):
    categories.append(clean(element.text))

Can become:

categories = map(lambda e: clean(e.text), soup.findAll(('li'),{'class':'category normal'}))

Cutting down on lengthy code that can easily be shortened while still being simple to understand is the first step. This code is just very difficult to make sense of so I'm not sure where to start debugging how fast it goes.

Bonus: bug in the file path on line 224.

>>55122822
>Spend time

You fucked up. Learn a php framework like Leave or Symphony or some other language/framework. If you're building bespoke stuff and actually give a shit about what you make, it makes no sense to use a CMS

>>55123179
yeah I know the structure is very convoluted, but unfortunately with yattag you have to keep your outputs nested and a second bonus of having a non-linear structure is you can do conditionals that don't require variables

an example of the first one:
you have to say (if you want a bracket 5 deep)

with tag('html'):
    with tag('body'):
        with tag('thread'):
            with tag('div'):
                with tag('p'):
                    text('Hello World')

and if I need to check 5 things (element.parent.name, element.name, boolean state, element.text, element.parent.text) I don't have to delegate out those to functions through some function through like a tuple. I can just do the conditional and if I need to branch off at each stage I can do so easily
so it's mostly convenience, Its probably not the best it could be but its fastest this way and easiest to debug (if you already understand whats going on)

thanks for the other advice though

There is no company policy regarding this. Why would I use the shitty outdated player on the website, that's garbage, and has almost no controls or anything, and waste time, over simply embeding a youtube link, that would also bring traffic to the youtube page?

>>55123504
it's that's the company does it IS their company policy, even if it is unofficial.
Also presumably the company youtube is for stuff like their ads or whatnot, not hosting whatever it is you're hosting
