Holy fuck asynchronous programming is annoying. I understand its reason (so the browser painting doesn't hang) but all the callbacks and crap you have to do is like jumping through hoops.

I know there are Promises but that seems like an advanced topic for someone who's new-ish, and I guess the next version has async-await that's supposed to help

tl;dr
asynchronous and callback hell is super annoying.

Have any of you guys used a raspberry pi to run your web apps 24/7? While testing them I mean

Think its pretty obvious. Twitter means twitter.com db dump

>>57621267
>Why would i do that?
Because you have to work with Drupal.

>>57621939
>It looks shit but well done

why does it look like shit?

>>57622061
Why is that a problem?
I like company, it is young and people are ok.

>>57621692

asyncFunction(function (error, result) {
  if (error) {
    // do error stuff
    return;
  }
  // do stuff here
  anotherAsyncFunction(result2, function(error, result) {
    // do stuff here
    //etc etc this is pretty gay
  });
});

Promises are quite simple

asyncFunctionWhichReturnsAPromise().then(function(result) {
  // do stuff here
  return anotherAsyncFunctionWhichReturnsAPromise(result);
}).then(function(result) {
  // do stuff here
  // this is pretty managable and you can chain as much shit as you want
}).catch(function(error) {
  // if anything goes wrong at any point in any async operation, it will be handled here
})

You can make any callback-based API into a promise-based API very simply, with stuff like https://www.npmjs.com/package/es6-promisify.

Also a good idea to polyfill promises themselves to account for older browsers.

Whats the best backend language in 2016?

>>57623513
php7 ofc

>>57623345
Its a "full stack" framework, which nobody makes anything with because Node offers far more flexibility and choice, and Meteor doesn't have enough advantages to make it worth putting up with the limitations.

The entire thing is architected around the idea of maintaining a websocket connection to the client, so that the server can push changes to clients instead of using the request/response model that all webapps use. So in order to accomplish this they have their own built-in version of MongoDB, and in order to see if any changes have happened which a client needs to know about, they do something called oplog tailing, where thye just read a list of all the changes that have happened in the database and then update the clients if appropriate.

If you want the server to be able to update clients, you can use one of the 5 websocket libraries that are availabel to Node, and you're not stuck with MongoDB as your database.

So basically Meteor is a gimmick, its okay as a learning tool if you want to learn full-stack Javascript, but move on to Node as soon as you get some idea about what you're doing.

When you first started learning programming (with no prior experience) about how many hours did it take before you hit that magical plateau of learning?
Like how long did it take for you to achieve that "Ah, I understand now" stage? I've tried getting into web development about 4 different time and end up getting bored within a few days. Oddly enough i'm obsessed with learning but I don't know shit except for the basic understanding of html.
Any thoughts on this, anons?

What's the best way to do css?

Bashing my head against this particular kata for a few hours now.
Tried /sci/ but no response yet so maybe someone here might have an answer.

I need to write 2 functions. One, dist($v=speed, $mu=traction between the tires and the road surface), and speed($d = distance in meters and $mu = the same traction).
dist() is supposed to calculate the total stopping distance in meters given $v and $mu and a reaction time of $t = 1. For that I used

function dist($v, $mu){
  $v = $v/18*5 //to convert from km/h to m/s
  return $v+$v**2/(2*$mu*9.81); //normally it'd start with $v*$t but $t==1
}

Issue is with my speed function. I cannot figure out how to get speed given that to calculate it, I used $v*$t.
Normally I'd just use the code below but adding $v*$t makes this invalid.

function speed($d, $mu){
  $v = $sqrt($d * (2*$mu*9.81));
  return $v*18/5; //back to km/h
}

I'm grabbing data from a form and inserting it into a table. But I also need to grab data from another table and insert it in the same table. The part i'm stuck on is when I grab the php variables that store the form data and insert them into the table, how would i (based on a common customer number) insert data from the other table at the same time? How many queries should i run?

>>57637521
something like

INSERT INTO first_table (name, number, something)
SELECT @name, @number, st.something,
FROM second_table st
WHERE st.number = @number

?

>>57634646
$t is not defined inside any of those functions. If you have a variable $t available outside the function scope, then reference it like this:

function dist($v, $mu) use ($t){

>>57636080
You need to enable CORS, or redirect all requests to the full domain.

>>57637590

im still confused on where i put the php variables. Cant go in the SELECT part because im not really selecting them from a table...

>>57638096
the example only selects one value from a table, the rest is from your parameters.

>>57637981
It wasn't an issue as the $t was always 1 and I simply used $v+(the rest of the equation) instead of $v*$t+(the rest of the equation). Wanted to mention the $t as it is main part of why the speed equation didn't work. Cheers anyway.

>>57640693
It's the order in which they are "read" and thus loaded, rarely does it matter.

>>57640693
ideally, you want to do meta charset, then the title tag, then the viewport meta THEN the other metas (like OG, twitter, etc..). Lastly is the stylesheets. You might want to put the script tags at the bottom just before the closing body tag. Just my two cents. m8.

lil bit more padding on a lot of your elements would be nice. I also went into the chatroom and it has the same issue. I won't list them all, but some places I wanna see more negative space:

Header/Footer

Also the strict center alignment on the create page is killing me. A centered section with justified alignment and more "prettified" widgets would be much nicer imo. Think you could make a custom color picker?

this may be better suited for /gd/ but I figured I'd shoot here first. When I'm exporting image assets should I fit the extents of the image to the content and rely on markup and style to achieve the desired padding, spacing, etc. or should I leave the envisioned whitespace in the export? Cases for or against either are appreciated. As I typed this up the former case ended up sounding like the more flexible option but I value the experience of others.

Creator posted on reddit saying this was formerly something they offered as a paid offering and rerecorded the whole thing. Anyone want to take a look at it?

Noob question:

If I build a basic website for myself, I can make it so that there are only three regular maintenance jobs: Paying for domain registration, paying for hosting, and running an occasional system update on the server. As long as I do that, shit will continue to work. Say that you are hired to build a website for a small business that does not have any employees with the technical skill to run an occasional system update on a server. It's a bad idea to update with a cron job (and for the same reason to train someone to run an update without really understanding what they are doing), and it's a bad idea to not update. What do you do?

What I need is a hosting company that pays some poor bastard to sit around running

apt-get upgrade

a lot. Does that exist? What is the most cost effective way to do that? Is this part of what you get when you use "cloud" servers like digitalocean, rackspace, etc?

AWS

LAMP on an EC2 instance

if you can't be bothered to ssh in and run apt-get upgrade once in a while you can use EC2 run command feature

>>57645424
>EC2 run command feature
You are talking about just setting the update and upgrade commands to run at some interval, right? If you do that, how do you prevent problems regarding changes to configuration files and stuff like that?

I just discovered the existence of a program called "unattended-upgrades" for Debian and Ubuntu that can optionally apply security updates only. An LTS version with automatic security updates could pretty much run by itself for years at a time, right? Is that not a better way to do it than just hoping that nginx doesn't change the name of an important variable in its configuration file?

I haven't used APT on my personal computers since I was a beginner with Linux. I've used it on my VPS, but not enough to know whether or not it has some way of resolving problems with configuration files automatically. I have always thought of automatic system updates as a bad idea.

>>57645424
...Or are you just suggesting an alternative to doing it with SSH? I don't know what the EC2 run command feature does. I personally find SSH easier than web interfaces. What I am after is a way to be totally and permanently uninvolved with the site after I get it set up and working.

How would long term support typically work when a freelancer is hired by a small local business to build a simple website? Does the developer typically do that? Does the owner typically hire someone? Do hosting companies provide services for this type of customer?

>>57645682
>>57645582
If you're talking about long term uninvolved I'd highly recommend against upgrading anyways?

Like if you auto upgrade eventually something is going to break. You're better off just not upgrading anything and leaving it surely?

Always remind yourself Bootstrap is only a framework. It's amazing for setting something up fast, but CSS is still 100% applicable at all times during the Bootstrapping process.

>>57646817
I'm not sure how mongoDB works, but it should work like most other DBs, and by that, you're going to link up your MongoDB file with a query file, and hook that query file with your routes file, and from there, the query results you return will be able to be placed into that route, which in turn means you will be able to handlebar data by passing that query into your route(which needs to be passed as an object).

hey guys,

my ex-boss's homepage was somehow partially erased/overwritten with other stuff, ofc he doesn't have any backup. I downloaded an 'image' from wayback and now trying to repopulate the /web folder. The problem is, every file is index.html, and the links on the main one are like index.html?id=2. The CMS was Typo3, some old version, but that I can't restore.

Should I quickly rewrite all the file to contact.html and so on, or is there any way to restore the old order of things ? It's a static website, so it just has to be there with contact info and impressum and shit.
thanks

>>57649304

so what im talking about is SQL injection? Thanks i'll look into it more

>>57649444
no, but if you execute your query by just going on the site then you are doing a GET request.
You want to only do something when POSTing.

So before you do your SQL stuff check if it's a POST request and only then do your thing.

An SQL Injection would be when you take a users input and just concat your query string together.
But I'm sure you're using SQL parameters already, right.

What's the easiest way for a small company (around 30 employees, where 10 are developers) to convert all their shitty perl code from 1996 that utilizes zero plugins, no framework and horrible structure? Since all our income comes from customer-projects, we have a hard time allocating time for improving our existing code since the customers mainly want new features. We don't even use templates, just straight up HTML in the perl code with prints. It's disgusting really. I feel the code will collapse on itself if we don't do something.

Is there a mainstream process we could follow to ease our transition? Is it better to try and transform all our code for a framework like Catalyst, piece by piece? Should we just start over? I'm in not even in a position to decide these things but I'd like to lay out some solutions for the management.

>>57649533

all my forms are POST. I knew the difference between GET and POST. I made sure all my forms are POST. The "action" of the form is a .php file (url), it's when i go straight to that is when it runs the query in that .php file.

>>57649632
but do you check if it's POST or GET in your php file?
can you post the code here?

>>57649641

this is the .php file the form action goes to

<?php

$dir = 'sqlite:/XXX/XXX.db';
$dbh = new PDO($dir) or die("cannot open the database");

$refNum = $_POST["refNum"];
$nameText = $_POST["nameText"];
$itemNum = $_POST["itemNum"];
$lbsText = $_POST["lbsText"];
$heightText = $_POST["heightText"];
$widthText = $_POST["widthText"];
$depthText = $_POST["depthText"];


//RUNS QUERY TO INSERT INTO ShipmentDataDefIn TABLE
try {
    $dbh->exec("INSERT INTO ShipmentDataDefIn (pkgPackageReference4, stCompanyName, pkgPackageReference3, pkgWeight, pkgHeight, pkgWidth, pkgDepth)
    VALUES ('$refNum', '$nameText', '$itemNum', '$lbsText', '$heightText', '$widthText', '$depthText');");
    echo "Record successfully added.";
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
    echo "An error occured.";
}


?>

>>57649714
this is how you get sql injections, anon.
don't just put your variables into your query.

you are not checking if it's a POST or GET request, you don't even check if the $_POST variables have a value.

add this at the top

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] !== 'POST') {
    exit();
}

to stop the script from running when it is not POST.

and then look up sql parameters.

Why the fuck is bandwidth so expensive on all the larger cloud services. How come I can rent a box with matching specs as my google compute box for $10 on smaller providers and get unlimited bandwidth whereas with google compute I have to pay $50 for 400GB and another $25 for the box?

Anyone know any alternatives? Looking at using 10TB this month and double that in January.

Can I download fonts in like otf or something from Google Fonts?
My web server can't access the internet, so any fonts need to be served locally.

>>57652751
A couple things:
Unlimited doesn't exist. Unmetered does.
And I noticed American VPS providers are a lot more expensive than many Dutch ones (where I live). Unfortuntatly many of them don't provider their services in English, but TransIP (high quality) and Leaseweb (worse quality, but unmetered is available) do.

20TB of transfer is going to cost you a ton no matter where you go, but Linode would be far less than that.
Their lowest plan has 2TB of transfer for $10/month all inclusive.

I use Linode for my hosting and they are by far the best hosting company I've dealt with.

https://www.linode.com/pricing

>>57652815
leaseweb and transip seems cool, but their cloud/vps packages seem to be limited to 10TB, although I guess it might be better in the long term to buy a unmetered dedicated box instead. 100mb/s is a little low for me though considering the large amount of throughput I get at peak hours. Could you link the dutch ones as well?

>>57652984
I mean, last month I got close to 5TB on my blazingfast.io box for a pretty reasonable price before I decided to try out google cloud (needed considerably more storage). Heard lots of good about linode before, but $320/month is a little high for a site that doesn't make me any money

>>57652751
>>57653137
Since the site makes me zero dollarinos I'd prefer to spend under $50/m. Don't really care how shitty the box is as long as it has more than 100GB++ and I can use a large amount of bandwidth (15+ preferably unlimited/unmetered). Currently I can get this from Blazingfast, although for various reasons I'd like to switch to a bigger provider.

Might look into getting a few hundred dollar dedi at some point, although transferring and setting up all of my sites on one machine will probably take weeks to do and adds a single point of failure.

just a heads up, it may be obvious to you, because you stitched the site together and it centralizes your ideas. But to others coming to your site, it is very vanilla looking as well as confusing by comparison to modern sites.

>>57654707
I mean, I agree, and in the next iteration of the site I'm likely going to make it a lot more "comfortable" as I'd like to attempt to make the site at least semi presentable and at some point monetizable so that I don't just loose money every month, but most of the people coming to the site should have at least a basic understanding of what its about simply based on reading things like "000webhosting usertable.sql" or the url itself. Don't think db dumps are a very normie-friendly niche.

anyone know how to use cordova's InAppBrowser's executeScript's to execute multiple lines using the code option?

                ref.executeScript({
                                        code: "document.addEventListener('backbutton', function() { console.log('hello'); })"

                });

this doesn't work, however:

                ref.executeScript({
                                        code: "console.log('hello');"

newb here w simple question.

for a site like http://howlongismyschlong.com/ how would I make some input into one field automatically update/create another field? I've only worked w php a little, so I only know how to do something like this with a submit button.

other similar examples would be nutritional calculators that some sites have, where you check boxes and calories are automatically summed (again, without having to submit).

so yeah how do I keep an eye on one field for any changes and then dynamically (not sure if right word) update another field? is it just some jquery method?

>>57647021
>>57642222
>>57642234
My main focus at the moment is to make sure there are no security holes in my software so far. Once I add the ability for users to upload images and implement socketio I'm definately going to upgrade the design and then post it for round 3 of roasting. Maybe after that I'll give it a real domain name and try to get something from it, or get a cozy dev job

>>57653876
interesting, can you elaborate?

>>57657051
You will need to use JavaScript. Use the onchange event (or .change() if you want to use jQuery).
Whenever the values in the field changes, grabe the data, process it, then update the HTML and other fields accordingly. It should follow that basic syntax everytime the user changes the value.

>>57657229

I'm entering into some training for web dev and have the choice to either do .Net or MEAN (Node) stacks.

>>57627324
You know, it's weird. Really is.

I gave up a lot of times. I found myself getting bored too, but not because of programming, but because of myself. I wasn't getting it so it became a chore.

I did Lua, C#, Python, C++, Java, and JavaScript. None of them clicked. None of it worked. What worked was finding out SPECIFICALLY what I wanted to create and learning the tools to do so. That motivated me enough and kept me excited to learn because I knew where it would all lead.

And after that, plus those previous attempts, it just clicked. I went from not understanding to oh wow this is so easy I can't believe this was difficult for me. It's a really amazing experience to go through.

In terms of time... Mmmmm... Maybe a few months for making something usable and about four years until I was confident enough in what I was doing and didn't have fears that everything would collapse and die. Everyone learns at different rates, but don't get discouraged because it's going to be quite some time before you're content.

I wrote my first few programms with about 12 or 13.

Then I didn't touch programming for about 10 years. Finally got to use it at university. Had to learn Java. First 2 years I constantly used Java but I was awfully bad. I had no fun at all. Leaned C but it I hated it. Then I learned databases, we were playing arround with PHP. it was more fun than Java but it still didn't "click". Then I was doing an internship for some month, SQL and VBA. This was probably the first time that I thought "hey, this could be something!", but the company was rather bad so I still hadn't any will to really get into programming.

Then I got some work where I had to do databases on the side and it became more fun. And one day I came to use Ruby and suddenly thought "wow". It just felt great to be so productive, to use a langauge without quirks. After a while I became more interested in Programming and played arround with Scheme (SICP). It really was a good time.

Then I came to use Java and C again and suddenly realized all the good parts. I started to see "through the matrix", realized how beautifull the conciseness of C can be. I realized that Java (behind this stupid verbose syntax) is actually pretty well designed when you grasp the reasoning behind interfaces. Java is nice from an "aerial view", but it's really ugly from the coding itself.

Anyway, currenty I'm using Python, Ruby and JS and even though I still got a long way to go until I can call myself a "good programmer", programming is fun again. And that's what matters most.

You need fun to devellop passion, without passion you wont get anywhere. You need to stay hungry, don't say "oh shit, I just want some money, now I have so many technologies and frameworks!". Rather say: "Wow, there is so much to see, so much to learn. There's more than I'll ever known and that's fine, because that way it will never get boring."

It's not about winning, it's about putting up a good fight.

>>57657173
well of course you can, but there can be namespace collisions using the $ sign. Angular ships with something called jqlite, which isn't as robust but covers most jquery uses. As for page refreshes, use socketio so that you can utilize websockets and avoid page refresh on different events ( message emitted etc)

Is Vue.js the best frontend framework? I started using it a while ago and everything just makes sense, it's fast, lightweight and has great documentation.

>>57669653
I keep seeing Vue around, what's so great about it that other front-end frameworks don't provide? I ask because I'm about to pick up React.

>>57664930
No, always keep your JS and CSS seperate on the off chance either you or someone else has to sift through your code. It's only to enforce the standard and good file management practices at all times. And also, it really doesn't make a difference at all, with the exception of you taking 2 a link tag and script tag out, which saves like 2 bytes if even.

>>57669653
I did a short tut on React and now I'm learning Vue cos Laravel, and the fact that I actually want to make my portfolio in it. Loving every bit of it so far.

>>57669653
Yes, but basically because the competition is a fucking historical disaster, and an extremely limited and cancerous reaction.

friend, dont use a reserved keyword as a variable name. we dont do that in harlem

>>57669835

>>57669720

false. there are 2 more calls to the server when script and stying are not inline. we dont do that in harlem

>>57657426
You're gonna be safe in both, but .NET is gonna grow since Microsoft isn't being such cunts about it anymore, you'll see a lot more opportunity in .NET and I could definitely foresee more money in there. I would develop for what you love more. I prefer to Node/JS because of NPM also.

>>57669835
Can you run a bash script instead?

>>57669851
If he's running a back-end, sure. Serving up static pages and the call time is so relatively lackluster though, and should not be a problem as a practice to separate those files.

depends. if you are a arch linux ricer you probably use zsh and have changed your wm 3 times this week so far

>>57669880
I guess that might be easier. Any recommendations or should I just ask my friend jeeves?

If that's true (which I have not much reason to doubt) pretty nice for its simplicity. Currently learning HTML and CSS then going for HTML5 and CSS3

How do I go about making a authentication page like /j/?

What should I focus on learning if my goal is to make my own login and registration? I've never built a website, and design isn't my focus now. I just want to build something where you can register and then login and the content on the website changes from hello --> howdy or something super simple.
After some searching it seems like flask + mysql might be a good solution for a beginner?

Hello this may seem like a strange question, but I try to follow advice of people in this thread I read a week ago or so about finding something specific you want to do and accomplishing that instead of learning in general and getting bored.

Node w/ Passport Auth framework and setting up a local strategy is popular. That's what I use. Probably the easiest to set up too.

>>57670029
thanks, i will read up on it

>>57670056
You'll also want to have DB too, PostgreSQL is what I recommend.

You guys have any suggestions on optimizing the site for somewhat decent SEO ranking?

>>57670085
don't do anything at all and let it naturally grow to the top based on natural keywords on the page

as soon as you start fucking around you'll do more harm than if you just dont

>>57670013
making register+login is a rite of passage

you can use literally any language and any db

don't roll your own crypto

18 year old American here.

Will I be able to land a decent webdev job with:

>freecodecamp frontend and/or fullstack cert
>general or compsci specialized ass. degree from a community college
>one or two full stack webapps on my github
>a few webpages i made or something

how important even is a degree

Is most websites now done with frameworks than hand writing everything?

>>57670637
kys

>>57670637
There's almost no reason to not use frameworks unless you're trying to show your skills off. Would much rather waste the time taking someone minified code that helps me grab DOM elements 50x faster, than write all the shit with my own hands.

>>57670737
>I want to make my users wait for multiple seconds longer than it would normally take because I don't know what I'm doing and can't write code myself and also want everything to look bad

>>57670763
>he would rather complicate workflow efficiency by wasting time grabbing the DOM and making shit code because he'll lose half a second on his load time.

You don't make money doing this, do you?

started an MS Paint type of thing with Paper.js today. so far just have four colors you can pick from on the left. can only create circles right now.

besides adding other shapes, paintbrush, etc. can you guys think of any other functionality that would be cool? maybe creating a gallery people can save stuff to? any other ideas?

Just started using codecademy cuz it was the first thing I found before I came here. It's pretty and I like the idea, but it doesn't give any/enough practice exercises. Like, it gives me one exercise for each thing, and not enough quizzes. Which learning material in the sticky provides lots of practice for each topic?

>>57671124
Freecodecamp, and if you have $29.00 to spend a month, also checkout Codeschool.com

Looks like Dart is making a comeback, at least internally at Google and on mobile. Have you used it?

>tfw my miniature, half a year old blog with movie reviews where I haven't posted anything in months has been getting dozens, if not hundreds of views in the last few months (which is better then ever) and I don't know how. I only realized this a few days ago.

A lot of them are from Russia and Austria though, but there a lot from my country too. Is it possible those are bots and how and why would anyone send them?

I can't understand when I look at stats of a unique visitors why some IDs come to my site almost every day and spend a few 5+ min sessions on it. I can't believe someone is actually reading all of that, there is not even that much content, like 10 articles lol. This question may sound a bit dumb, but I actually never had anything of my own online, so it's kinda strange.

>>57671653
I hope your post is satirical in nature.

>>57671770
HOLY SHIT I just found out about this:

by following a link from my analytics. Well that is a bummer, nobody actually cares about me heh.

>not having 128gb ram to have the fastest taiwanese sailor discussion board database

can anybody explain to me why the fuck are "cards" in design so special? Am I dumb or are they literally the normal thumbnail with a title and excerpt, just with a white background so it separates the content from the rest of the website?

Any image compression software or online tool you guys recommend?
I have ~25 images I need to add to my site but they're all close to 2mb each and I don't want to add them like that because it will severely hurt load time. So far I've tried a few, TinyJPG.com only manages to get them down to 1.1mb each after compression.

frontend web development is so fucking hard how the fuck do you guys do it?

I've learned html and css, and used for for over a year to make shitty static websites and practice design. Then I went on to backend with flask and python in general. I'm not coming back to frontend and it's impossible.

What the fuck is webpack or grunt or gulp? What the fuck is react or angular or node.js? What the fuck is es2015 or jsx or whatever the fuck?

How the fuck am I suppose to learn ths shit? Where the fuck do I even start?

Seriously, where do I start?

>>57672099
I hate frontend too. Gulp/Grunt are taskrunners, they let you automate builds/testing. Webpack is a bundler for your JS/CSS. Node is a backend language. Angular and React are both frontend frameworks with JSX being for React.

If you want to begin to learn Node. Google "Nodebeginner PDF"

There are literally a shitton of sources and you can find out what all of those technologies do in 5 minute. It's not really a rocket science. Webdevs are dumdums.

what are practices to avoid?

>>57671643
No. Fuck google and their constant creating and dropping of frameworks/languages.

I used to get anxious like that too. Just realize that this is your first time learning these concepts, and in the future everything is just a different iteration of what you already know.

I also agree.

>>57673106
People like to hate on it because it has quirks. Honestly, I found it much better and easier to use than Django or Flask. And I come from a python background.

>>57673075
You have direct, immediate control over one of those three...
