In ruby, I'm trying to prevent users from adding someone as a friend if either one of them has the other on their ignore list.

In the friendships controller, I'm trying to define

class FriendshipsController < ApplicationController
before_action :ignored_user,    only: :create

And

  def ignored_user
    if current_user.foes.include?(@user)
      flash[:notice] = "Unable to send friend request."
      redirect_to :back 
    end
  end

All of that seems to work except the "if current_user blah blah" line. If I replace it with "if current_user.admin?" then it works exactly as you'd expect. If that user is an admin, they can't send anyone friend requests. If I replace it with "if current_user.id == 2", it also works as you'd expect. I've tried replacing the faulty line with many variations of the above code, including things like

if Disagreement.where(foe_id: [@user, params[:id]], user_id: [current_user, params[:id]]).first

(which works elsewhere, just not here).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a webpage that includes multiple JSP files. In one of those files, I have a JS function that I want to run after the entire page one of the JSP files is contained within loads. If I use $(document).ready, the code runs when the individual JSP loads and not the whole page. Any ideas on how to work around it?

I feel like I should get an Angular and a React project in my portfolio, but the problem is that I'm still not sure when to use them.

I think React is for the sort of "web-app" thing, where you want a web page that's highly interactive, but Angular(2) still has me confused.

>>55201775
Funny, I'm slogging my way through the Angular 2 tutorial right now. Never touched Typescript before. Not sure how I feel about it.

I hear React is simpler, but I really want to get through this and build an AngularFire app.

      },

No, because callbacks exist.

setTimeout(function() { console.log("third"); }, 500);

console.log("second");

You'll find that a lot of JS libraries are based around handling events.

Say you have two controllers in ruby, one for users and one for friendships. @user is defined and most often referenced under the show action in the users controller. Ignore lists also exist, which should prevent users from adding someone as a friend if either user is ignoring the other. Under the friendships controller, how can you reference @user to specify "don't create this friendship if @user is ignored by current_user (the user who's logged in and trying to add someone as a friend) or vice versa"? No matter what I try, this always fails because the friendship controller can't figure out what @user is. It always returns nil, even if I redefine @user under every single action in the friendship controller. What should I do? And sorry for the dumb question, you can probably tell I'm new.

Is there a better way to override bootstrap's styling besides using "!important" on everything?

>>55211732
How are you defining @user?

If this is a nested route, you should be able to do:

possible_friend = User.find(params[:user_id])
if current_user.is_ignoring? possible_friend
# do some shit
else
current_user.make_friends_with possible_friend
end

Or something similar.

>>55212033
It's funny you mentioned that. I was just about to leave for awhile, but I wrote a note in a text file telling me to try to define something like "current_user.ignored_or_ignoring" after I got back. (@user.foes is defined elsewhere and works, but won't work in this controller since it doesn't recognize @user.) Since you say that should work, I have high hopes that it will. Thank you!

>>55212103
No it wont.

If @user is nil you're still fucked. Please copy and paste the code defining @user

>>55212145
But if I define current_user.is_being_ignored_or_is_ignoring in the helper method that allows current_user to be used in the friendships controller in the first place, won't it be fine? I've confirmed that things like "if current_user.admin?" and "if current_user.id == 1" make the friend requests fail when they should. But anyway,

@user = User.find(params[:id])

Say I wanted to automate a task I hate doing.. It needs to do the following:
1. Check a youtube/vimeo channel for a new video
2. Rip audio
3. FTP the file to a server
4. Go to a site and fill out some forms

I'm well aquainted with JavaScript, but what language or program can I use to create this task automation?

>>55212145
I just tried it your way in a few different ways, and none of them worked. (In hindsight, I realize I've already tried them before, but I've tried so many things [30+] that it's easy to forget.) The same error message comes up whenever I try defining @user anywhere (or even EVERYwhere) in the controller:
Couldn't find User with 'id'=
So I guess defining current_user.either_ignoring as a helper method, which should hopefully make it available in the friendships controller, is the only thing left I haven't tried.

That error means that your params[:id] is empty, or not a valid user id.

>>55214466
Yeah, that could be it. Any idea on how to fix it? This is the only instance I've run into where this breaks. I've even tried redefining this method in the application controller itself, which the friendship controller inherits from, and it's still not recognizing @user, @user.id, etc. despite that.

When I change ".find" to ".find_by" it gets one step closer to working, except, no matter what, according to the console, @user.id is always 1, regardless of whose profile I was on when I clicked the Add Friend button.

What do your routes look like?

>>55214817
Depends on the traffic really. If its earlier in the day, say around 10-3 I can drive pretty much anywhere without hitting too much traffic. Anywhere between 7-10 AM and anytime after 3PM is a nightmare, sheesh. The roads aren't great either, which causes things to move slowly.

>>55215127
Thanks! I need it to refer to a user somehow. Do you have any tips on how nested routes work? Like, is there something I can change about the routes to make the friendship controller recognize that params[:id] refers to a user, not a friendship?

So I posted about this as this horror was unfolding before my eyes yesterday. I was having trouble with my startpage that was previously working just fine, after tinkering around with it a bit I found the problem...the html and css had blanked themselves.

I was able to recover the html, but I had to start the stylesheet from scratch, luckily it wasn't anything too complicated.

Is there anyway I can ensure this never happens again?

>>55215247
Read http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html all the way through.

You want params[:id] to refer to a friendship, since you will eventually be doing other operations (deleting, etc) on a friendship. So you want something else in your params hash to refer to a user upon creation.

You don't even really need to use nested routes. You could instead put a form on the show action of your users controller that looks like:

<%= form_for Friendship.new do |f| %>
<%= f.hidden_field :friend_a_id, value: @user.id %>
<% end %>

Which would go to the create action of your friendships controller.

>>55215108
Why is everyone utterly obsessed with idiotic game engines? You'd have programmed the game already if you had forgotten about them and simply wrote the goddamn game.

>>55215127
Yeah async/await looks much, much better than the idiotic promises thing, but the thing reeks of a deeper problem: the entire notion of an event loop.

The goddamned event loop plagues every single line of code we write in Javascript because who knows what pieces of code will be slow enough to block the loop. Suddenly, idiotic hacks like endless callbacks and promises somehow start making sense because you need to fragment the hell out of your code so that they can all be processed over many event loop ticks.

The best solution is to use worker threads because long computations are just like I/O anyway. But hell will freeze over before stuff like Node actually supports something like that. That bunch seems to have visceral reactions to the word "thread"

Oh, I've already created friend requests, friendships, the ability for users to delete friend requests from other people, the ability for users to change their minds and delete their own friend requests to other people, the ability for either user in a friendship to delete the friendship, and the ability to accept friend requests, among other things! But somehow, I need to be able to refer to a user's ID within the friendship controller so that this will work:

>before_action :non_ignored_user, only: :create

I want to restrict user1 from creating a friendship with user2 in the event that either one of them is ignoring the other one. Since no friendship will exist under these circumstances (users can't send friend requests if a friendship already exists between them) and I don't want one to exist (since one or both users are ignoring each other) I don't need to refer to the friendship in a more advanced way than I already understand. But I definitely do need to figure out a way to refer to @user or params[:id] in regards to a user in the friendships controller.

All that being said: what's the f.hidden_field thing you showed me, and what does friend_a_id refer to? I've succeeded in hiding the "Add Friend" button if either user is ignoring the other, but to me, that's not good enough since people could still manually get around the ignore by adding /friendships?friend_id=[their ID here] after that user's URL, and I don't want users to be able to harass others by spamming them with friend requests even after they've been ignored.

Also, is it possible to fix this problem by editing the routes somehow? And thank you! I appreciate all this advice.

>But somehow, I need to be able to refer to a user's ID within the friendship controller so that this will work:

Use some sort of alternate param. You can get params into your controller via form data or URL parameters.

>before_action :non_ignored_user, only: :create

I would make this a validation on your model.

>All that being said: what's the f.hidden_field thing you showed me,

form tag.

>and what does friend_a_id refer to? I

A hypothetical parameter on the friendship model.

>

/friendships?friend_id=[their ID here]

If you're already generating that url, you can get the

friend_id

from

params[:friend_id]

, as you're passing it in as a query parameter.

What tutorial are you using for this? Your questions indicate to me that you're probably using a shitty one. Not that you're stupid, but the way you're asking questions is suggesting that you're learning things in (what I think is) the wrong order.

my job is making me run Javascript on JVM for their company AI. it's an abysmally shitty combination that makes the whole job a lot harder without any benefit.

Is there any way for me to get around this so I can use the basic goddamn JS methods? I can't install anything else on their server

>I would make this a validation on your model.
I tried, but I never figured out how to make it work. The extent of my validation knowledge is validates :friend_id, presence: true

>If you're already generating that url, etc.
Oh my god, you're absolutely right. That sounds like it should work since friend_id is exactly the same as @user's ID in every single case, and I can't think of a reason why the friendship controller wouldn't be able to understand friend_id. Thank you so much for this and everything else!

The initial tutorial I used was this: http://www.tobyh.com/thoughts/4 I first found it and did everything it said about three weeks(?) ago. At the same time, since it wasn't working out for me (after following it, users could send friend requests, aaand... That was it, haha. Accepting them didn't work and deleting them didn't work), I also used as many other relevant tutorials/Q&As on other sites as I could, along with editing all of that stuff to the best of my own abilities. And it's okay, I am pretty stupid when it comes to programming, and I'm almost certainly learning things in the wrong order.

I'd be happy to chat with you some more about all this, but I'm going out for groceries before the stores close, so I'll be gone for awhile. I'll try implementing your solution as soon as I get back home.

>>55215340
One problem I have with it is rubygems isn't really part of the language.

I realize it's implemented this way because it's too expensive to change now that everyone adopted it, but still, it's unpleasant. There's no real concept of a gem or a module or anything of the sort. It's really just a bunch of files. A gem is literally a tarball with YAML metadata.

You require a gem. You're really just loading that gem's lib/<gem-name>.rb file in the most direct way possible. That file will then load all ruby files within the source tree, often without regard to whether they actually depend on the file or not. It's not very DRY. There is no isolation; the whole gem thing gets imported into global Ruby VM state and everything but local variables seep outside the file scope. You can't pick and choose. You don't get a nice API-in-an-object like in Javascript. It's an uncomfortably thin abstraction on top of the load method, which should sound as sane as reading all the files in a gem's manifest and straight up evaluating them. Rubygems is nearly nothing but a glorified PATH management system with a package manager on top

This is fundamentally different from Python's import. You can say from x import y, z and you will have imported exactly y and z from x. There's special syntax for this. Python understands the module you're importing, and allows you to import just x and y and leave the rest out. You can even use as to import things with different names. Modules are part of the language

I think Ruby is a better language than Python as far as design is concerned, but in this particular area they failed hard. At least we know where this stupid design came from: Scheme. Ruby got a lot of good qualities from Scheme, but this isn't one of them. This is the exact type of epic fail that standard Scheme displayed; its module system was non-existent and the herculean efforts to implement one didn't matter because implementations solved the problem themselves.

#includes are actually better than Ruby's castrated require, which are almost as sad as Python's lambdas. In C, you have compile time errors. The compiler doesn't allow other people's code to trample all over yours with impunity. Conflicts are forced out of existence.

>>55216632
Ridiculously easy. Install a templating engine like Jade and write HTML5 templates. You can easily compose them into full web pages while avoiding repetition. Wire it up with a process that generates HTML5 and commits the files to git and you get free GitHub pages hosting.

This is good because you can provide rich structural markup and even RDFa metadata. Trendy markdown blogs will never, ever be able to do that. Why setup a motherfucking database when you can have the document itself serve as the dataset? Actual web servers are orders of magnitude more stable than some shitty trendy technology like Node.js.

If you ever need any dynamic shit, setup HTTP endpoints so you can communicate with your server using JSON. Call them from the client-side.

He said he wanted to roll his own CMS. Truth be told, he really doesn't have to. And I don't mean using Wordpress or some other ridiculous PHP shit. I mean using an actual CMS, and that is git.

He wants to serve HTML5 content. He should do exactly that. What he shouldn't do is fuck around with PHP and databases and their endless bullshit. It's simply not necessary. He needs exactly two orphan branches in his repository: master and author. He authors templated HTML5 content in author branch, invokes a process that generates static HTML5 files, commits them to master, pushes to GitHub pages and away he goes.

Markdown bloggers make me sick. They worship that stupid technology as if it came out of God's asshole itself.

It is a mistake to use some stripped down blogging language that compiles down to HTML5. Because what you want to write is really HTML5. If W3 consortium wanted authors to design shitty, non-structured, non-accessible web sites that break in automated or text-only user agents, they would have designed HTML differently. But they didn't.

You really do want to use all the features the blogging language is hiding away. They're the difference between an average or even good website and a great one. Google notices it.

There is no reason to have some idiotic PHP hackup pull static data from some random database just to generate some static pages that won't ever really change unless the user himself updates them. It's just an endless source of headache; the thing goes down, you have to update it constantly, it's an attack vector, etc.

It's a much better approach to keep HTML5 as static as possible, and compose the pages out of reusable templates. Simple, almost timeless.

It's in the same state Rails used to be, some kind of semi-finished state where features that should've been there from the start are only now being added to some developer's TODO list for some distant version of Node.

>> suggesting git as the data structure

I suggested git as the actual content management system, which is what git actually is: a content-addressable CMS. The point is to, well, manage the content.

Serving it is simply checking out master in the webserver's directory. Github pages does it for free.

>why not use an already established static site generator

Sure. Any templating engine suffices. This is the heart of any "CMS" out there anyway.

The point of the tool is to avoid repetition by taking advantage of the hierarchical nature of the document. He can literally pick any templating language. I chose Jade, but it really doesn't matter too much, it just needs to support composition of documents using various pieces

>Markdown is text, there is nothing more accessible than that

Nil metadata support and literally no structural markup support outside the most basic of elements. Somehow the idea that you can write verbose HTML markup inline isn't very reassuring.

The output of Markdown is simple, structurally poor HTML. It's got no metadata, no real structure besides the aforementioned basic elements. It's nothing but a bunch of lists and headers and paragraphs. Can't get more bread-and-butter than this. Beginner HTML5 authors will want to break out of this cage as soon as they read up on how Google's bots make use of page structure. Screen readers need this. Textual browsers need this. Also, the richer the document is, the more useful. Properly done, the document becomes a dataset that can be easily queried for information, unlike PDFs which are some kind of assembly language of documents.

I'm not saying you can't compile it to HTML. You can. I'm saying it's always a better idea to write HTML5 straight up.

For large or complex sites it is far easier to manage the amount of code and if you apply a pattern supported by the framework (MVC, MVVM).

PDO has a completely different syntax, to fetch all you literally just execute your statement then do

$results = $query->fetchAll()

. that returns all of the results in an array. to fetch a single result I'm sure you can guess the command. Then you just so something like

foreach $results as $row {
echo $row['ur column here']
} 

not using PDO and prepared statements is just asking to be memed.

No reason to use prepared statements unless concurrent connections rarely need access to the database at all (in which case you should absolutely use them, but that's a rather rare use case).

nah I just do it for fun. htmlentities, html sanitiser and base64 before entering shit into my db, all using prepared statements because technically it protects against sql injection :~)

>>55225263
percentages operate based on parent div, vh does not
therefore the easiest way for anon to handle the situation is to slap a vh on it
% also work just fine in this scenario though

Wait, what's happening in four days? Hasn't ASP.NET Core been out for a while now?

>>55226734
RC2 is out

1.0 on 27 June 2016

Roadmap here
https://github.com/aspnet/Home/wiki/Roadmap

>>55226683
Depends, doesn't it? If it's an existing project then chances are you won't migrate. But we do a lot of work on client projects so if it's something new I can push for us to use Core once it's RTM.

>>55226734
In the same vein, because we live in a world of ENTERPRISE where everyone's head is stuck up their own ass, there's no way you could actually use it professionally until it was officially released.

Is hotlinking acceptable in some cases? For example, I'd like to catalog comics hosted on another site, so I'd like to hotlink a pic of the cover which will serve as a link to the site in question. It seems better than normal hotlinking because it's drawing traffic to the other site. It would also save me some trouble because I wouldn't be hosting potentially copyrighted art.

Can't wait to use this with the implementation I have of my abstract factory that returns the repository for saving my saga event results into the Raven NoSQL DB and later sync the aggregate with the cached SQL DB for showing it into the view with ASP.NET Core.
It's as correct papa Fowler and friends wanted :^)

If your factory doesn't return the service client that requests the repository data access layer from the service host, you might as well be banging tin cans together you savage

In what kind of shitty BIG CORPORATION are you? Agile is for hipster and startups.
The waterfall model is the only, true way of doing anything on ENTERPRISE level.

>>55227283
Literally nobody uses the waterfall model.

Sometimes I find hard to bear hearing some of my former colleagues talking about innovation and abstract shit when I know they are full of BS and wouldn't fit in any role that required real skill.

Anyone else forget a bunch?


I don't think I could write a signup page from scratch even though I've done it a dozen times before.

I would have to Google.

Anyone else?

What about an md array?

That's where my problems came from. I couldn't even print_r or vardump because it would just be empty.

Let me bust out my devtop and show you what I mean.

>>55227756
>Anyone else forget a bunch?
Same here...
One of the blessings of IDEs and scaffolding. You get a lot of the shit automagically built and set up and can start hammering down your logic on top of the available resources.

Makes little sense to write CRUDs by hand nowadays unless it's for learning/research purposes.

I need your opinion on this.

I have two tables (actually I have more, but let say two for the example), they have some columns in common and some exclusive.

My friend says I should merge the two tables into one and simply not use the 'exclusive' columns.

Currently:
Table 1: Column A, Column B, Column C
Table 2: Column A, Column B, Column D

My friend wants me to do that:
Table: Column A, Column B, Column C, Column D

Where items previously from Table 1 would not use Column D ever (null, no select, no update),
and where items previously from Table 2 would not use Column C at all either.

It would allow me to have only one table instead of many, but that doesn't sound clean at all to have unsused IRRELEVANT columns for some items and not for others.

Is that good practice or pajeet coding?

Two weeks into my internship at a firm which produces commercial management applications & ecommerce websites and I'm given a job.

I need to devote some of my time to learning shit on the off-side. I'm getting the job formally in a few months, once my internship is over. I can learn shit pretty quickly, but I feel like I need to invest more into my learning, even at home. Do you guys know any decent resources, or do you have any advice in general to someone in my position?

I work mainly with C# (MVC).

I'm really looking for any advice you're willing to throw at me, if you're so generous as to share some of your knowledge - empirical or not. Whether it's organizational tips or whatever else, I'm all ears.

>>55227817
>pajeet coding
kek
Depends on how much formality you are applying.
At this point I cannot remember the right answer but I usually go from what makes more sense in the context of the problem. For example: if it's going to be better to have all available data in the same entity or should I keep it separate.

It seems to me that having Column A and B duplicated between table 1 and 2 is a worse model than to add column D in table 1.

You are avoiding data duplication in that regard and the extra column will only be a bother when you are writing your select statements.

>>55201512
Useragent blocked? Try spoofing with a popular browser's useragent.

>>55227892
Keep yourself current on the dankest technologies.
Even if your current level of knowledge suffices for your job, try to always read something new. There are some great books available for MVC/C#. What I usually do is to look at the best rated/most popular in Amazon and then research if they are good in reality or not.

I recently applied for a job as SW Dev and had to study a lot just to keep up because my current job didn't demand much regarding good practices.

Read about what the company uses as methodology and practices too. TDD, DDD, SOLID, etc. That's some useful knowledge if you are looking for a job.

Sorry if I'm not clear enough, writing this in a hurry...

How did you guys come up with your Github username?

I've had a standard handle as my username for a long time, but with my portfolio on there now I feel like it should be something more professional. I can't help but think "github.com/wackyjackal" or "github.com/turdgobbler69" doesn't look very good on a resume.

I'd use my full name but my last name is pretty long and difficult to spell. I'd use my first initial+first five letters of last name but that's taken,

>>55228773
JESUS FUCK MAN It's not that hard.

Mine if first initial + last name.

Just try adding letters until it fits :)

>>55227965
I get you, man. Sound advice. I really need to pick up a book on MVC and all. I've been learning everything in a hurry since the start of the internship (at which point I knew jack about MVC, as I had only gotten like halfway into the Music Store thing). I'm going to pick one up, definitely, and browsing them in the way you suggested sounds like a good idea, so I'll be sure to do it.

Thanks for bothering. Best of luck to your application!

>>55228995
yeah, but adding letters beyond the first 5 of my last name makes it awkward to pronounce, and the spelling isn't obvious when you hear it.

>>55229123
ok, then add a '7'

I'm trying to support code-blocks formatting, using <pre><code> blocks. However, I also sanitize the html beforehand, and because of the <pre>, the escape codes are being output raw instead of being interpreted. How2fix?

>>55200936
Inspect that @user variable coming with a debugger. I suspect it's not what you think it is

>>55225547
Good resource.

Is anything in there deprecated? It looks like it was posted 2015ish.

>>55231373
Yes, PHP.

What's the correct response to generate a correct redirect that the server will handle? When I use PermanentlyMoved or TemporarilyMoved, the redirect is too fast and the user only sees a text/plain empty page.
I don't want to use ajax, because then I can't support users that use noscript. It's just for a form post anyway.

anyone up to help?

'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
but you're sending in json-encoded data instead.

If I want to start learning nodejs should I just start with installing the MEAN stack and learning nodejs along with Mongo, expres, and angularjs?

that seems to be the default when I leave it unspecified (and its what the various browsers sent besides)

I changed it to application/json and that didn't work either

and using an ordered dict on the form data doesn't work, as well

>>55232832

I can't log into github either, gives the same 404 error when I try to send the data to the login page.

frustrating

MIghts as well just transplant yourself some cancer. Only the N and E is good in MEAN. M is black hole for data and A is an entire operating system written in JS.

Rate my generic bland looking web design.

I overwrote it by getting rid of prepared statements.

My PDO prepared statements weren't working with an form of fetch. I was making an API and needed prepared statements so no one could hack my shit up, senpai.

I use nginx btw, probably apache. Don't even remember.

>>55233526
How do you get people to contribute?

I write interesting stuff and not even a star.

>>55233571
ah, PDO's prepared statements are odd sometimes, look up bindParam. I had that sort of issue when I was starting out with PDO.

>>55233582
Not sure what you mean? No one has helped me write it so far, just been a small project by myself. It's on Github, but in a private repo until I clean up and comment the code for it.

The only project I've ever had star'd (twice) was a small Lua project I wrote a few months ago, and I think that is because the only alternative was GPL. Never posted anywhere, so it was only found through the Github search.

>>55233688
I just searched the project and it pulled up a github that had some projects that people contributed to.

Anime downloader?

>>55233737
Nope, that is someone elses. Thought of the name first, then saw that same project. 2 years old and doesn't do anything so I just kept the name.

The site got added to two other popular Usenet downloaders (pymedusa/SickRage and SickGear/SickGear), but I had nothing to do with that. The godawful API that I wrote isn't even documented, so it was surprising that it even happened.

I can't fucking understand the MVC pattern at all.

>>55233796
It's tricky for a while, but once you grasp it it becomes surprisingly simple. What part is confusing you?

>>55233850
the view sees the user? what kind of stupid fucking diagram is this?

>>55233992
So imagine it's a blog post the user is editing.

They're looking at a blank view, probably an html template for a standard post.

The same page has logic on it, that takes their input and saves it to the database under the entry for that blog post. That logic is the controller.

They make some changes with the controller, and those changes get saved to the database entry. That entry is the model of the blog post.

Now that the model has changed, calling up the same html template, the view, displays the new changes and it comes full circle.

>>55234035
okay but the arrow between view and user is still backwards, it should be pointing so that the user sees the view.

>>55234072
It's trying to demonstrate the circular nature of the design pattern, but I agree that "sees" is unclear, it should be something like "displays".

>>55233850
Pretty much everything, how do I begin to separate concerns, based on what?

>>55234163
That depends a lot on what you're building it with. But if you're working from a relational database, for every table that the user can see and manipulate, you're going to want it to have a controller with logic that can perform CRUD actions on it, and a front-end view that can display it to the user.

>>55233850
Not him, but what pages control what?

Like let's say I have a login script. Which pages are which in the MVC?

>>55234487
A login script itself wouldn't necessarily be part of the MVC relationship, with the exception of logic in the controllers that check for authentication when performing restricted actions.
