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?
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?
>>55096561
Like pictures? Like profile pictures? That's good for security I guess
>>55096605
No, like random amount of markdown.
>>55096626
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
Well, that is exactly what I do not want to do. It's an ugly hack to involve the body/window/whatever with functionality that has nothing to do with it.
You only have to set the A records of a domain if you just run a Wordpress website, right?

>>55097524
would be helpful to know what it is you're trying to capture
>>55097625
well I just meant looping over the same set of characters in regex
the thing is just asking for \x(any char * 2)\x(any * 5)
>>55096192

>>55098079
Oh, that could work. Thanks.
>>55097692

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
>>55096888
I agree, but I've never found a better way.
>>55098440
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.

https://css-tricks.com/tales-of-a-non-unicorn-a-story-about-the-trouble-with-job-titles-and-descriptions/
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.

How can people like this exist? Does she seriously expect to make pretty template with html and then hand them off to a back-end developer so he can waste his time adding embedded code?

Thank you, this is very helpful. I don't quite understand this part though:

Yeah, each message has a unique 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.
currently using vscode
>try to build something in angular
>all the tutorials are in typescript
>>55100519
I know that feel. Then they started using it at my work.. took me 1 day to get the hang of it though. It actually does help with intellisense though. It's not that big of a deal actually, the minor cost is worth the minor benefit imo
>>55100514
You don't.. If it's a larger template, link it in with a templateUrl so you can get syntax highlighting in an html file
>>55100519
arent post people still using Angular 1?
>>55100563
I will probably sit down with it eventually, but having to learn it so that I can learn something else drives me crazy

Anybody have any experience with Hadoop?
One of my last classes for my Masters was taking Hadoop. I thought it was an interesting program and would like to learn more, but I'm not entirely sure where to start.

>>55101330
This article is stupid. Hadoop isn't meant for data less than petabytes in size. No fucking shit you can use other tools for data that's smaller.
>>55101407
It's not stupid because people actually do that
>>55101410
I guess that's a fair point. He does say that Hadoop has it's advantages when used correctly. But, it sounds more like he's criticizing Hadoop rather than criticizing the idiots who use it incorrectly.
How did you find this article? I'd like to find similar blogs/websites.
>>55101430
I found it on /r/programming like a year ago or something.
If you want to immediately tune me out because you heard the word "reddit" I won't stop you but it's a great way to find good and interesting articles and places to find them.
Other than that I like CodingHorrors
>>55101493
I personally don't have anything against reddit. I just grew up with 4chan and have always used 4chan with no need for reddit, but I'll check it out!
I just graduated with my masters, and I'm not entirely sure what direction I want to go to, so I'm looking for different sources to hopefully give me an idea for my next move.
>>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

I need to make a simple html interface for handling a small database. I am familiar with wordpress.
I want:
-Login
-Display data
-Enter data
-Update data
-Delete data
-Being able to filter and get results out of that filtered data (like totals)
It's pretty much bringing a basic Excel spreadsheet interface to a website.
Any plugins you guys know that can help me?

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.
i wanna expand my knowledge on rest apis.
i usually only work client side with them but ive made small apis with flask and express.

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.
>>55103378
So this guy thinks that solving fizzbuzz is a matter of having free time to work everything out beforehand, rather than, y'know, having any basic programming/problem solving abilities
At this point you might as well get applicants to dance for you during interviews.

Nah, they are equally hard, it's just that you have engineering skills so backend makes more sense to you. If you were more artistic, the backend would seem more difficult.
>the environment in which my code executes is 100% in my control.

>Nah, they are equally hard, it's just that you have engineering skills so backend makes more sense to you. If you were more artistic, the backend would seem more difficult.
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.

>>55109718
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
>>55110230
Also I bet you can get something worth while from pastebin if you know what to look for
>>55110414
Like what? Do you collect shit copypastas and ERP chatlogs?
>>55110414

At the rate at which they allow you to request new pastes, probably find a few credentials and some secret proprietary code

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

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

I'm trying to make a really simple animation, the idea is to have different images fly past the screen and loop.

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.
But you're a PHP dev. You of all people should know by now that you don't get to try to think you're better than anyone else. You're at the very back of the human centipede of programming languages.

I'm only a beginner in web design but I'm working on a project right now and need some advice.

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?

I was more worried about Android not supporting wrapping.
How many devices are still on 4.3?
In a way I care more about mobile since this is something I expect people to pull up more on their phones.
Google doesn't give me anything on this specific error, similar errors are usually resolved by adding parenthesis to the methodTypeError: delete() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)
Here is my route for delete in the controller:@app.route('/delete', methods=['POST'])
@login_required
def delete(job_id):
if request.method == 'POST':
job = JobPost.query.get(job_id)
db.session.delete(job)
db.session.commit()
return redirect(url_for('home'))
Here is my view:<form id=delform action="{{ url_for('delete', job_id=job.id) }}" method="post">
{#<input class="btn btn-xs btn-danger" type="submit" name="delete_job" value="Delete">#}

I've learned a fuckload more working with node in production than I ever did on my own.
>>55112847
Anyone?
>>55112895
Obviously you are not a developer because if you were you would know that you can use a cms and write lots and lots of your own code to customize every aspect of it, especially with drupal.
Any pointers or resources on developing responsive sites?
>>55112895
>I don't use CMS because I'm a developer
Oh my.
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.
>>55112972
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.

Serif fonts are usually discouraged.
>>55113002
>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)?
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. Take your bullshit buzz word languages and your completely undeserved sense of entitlement and go suck a dick.

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).

>>55113968
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.
want proof? try opening up a backbone app someone wrote 3 years ago. you'll rage.
I've been doing programming for about 6 months and was told by some people a while ago that I was ready for a junior front end position. I thought I would look up some questions I might get asked during an interview and found this: https://github.com/h5bp/Front-end-Developer-Interview-Questions

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

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.

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.
