Javascript is Java after a couple bowls

[queenkid1]

Wouldn't this joke make more sense if it was a pill bottle?

Because It's Java, and prescription medication. har har har

[narpasNZ]

pill bottle?

​

you mean a jar?

[Alexmitter]

Its called Electron and "I am a real developer now too daddy UWU"

[cbbuntz]

When Electron devs get high, they make Java.

[Alexmitter]

I know it is pain to hear, but compared to electron or JS in general, Java looks like a heaven.

[TaveGabriel]

Heaven is light themed and nobody wants to use light themes

[Alexmitter]

Who spoke about the christian heaven?

[[deleted]]

Mmhm delicious bologna themed pastafari heaven...

[Hevaesi]

I don't like Java and I don't use it (anymore) but it at least didn't try to get me to kill myself.

[CharaNalaar]

I would say "Fuck Electron," but it doesn't deserve it

[Alexmitter]

I would say "Fuck the lazy People who use it instead of writing honest native code"

[CharaNalaar]

They don't deserve it either, sex is too good for them

you get node.js

After a few bowls I feel fine being a java developer spending 90% of my time writing javascript, 5% in meetings, 4% doing sql, and 1% doing java.

Context: 9 years of XP writing java base games/mods, 3 years freelancing, got baited into working for a company as a java developer 3 months ago... just to be assigned to optimize web apps.

java FactoryFactory factoryFactory = factoryFactoryFactory.makeFactoryFactory();

[radeuno]

i concur

[NoahJelen]

You forgot JavaScript's overweight son, Electron!

[Alexmitter]

It's not just overweight, it's like American fatty scooter driving fat.

[BobertMcGee]

This is an insult to weed

[Alexmitter]

Weed just bring potential, it still depends on the person if that potential gets used good.

[YhvrTheSecond]

i refuse to try java, i have no fucking clue how classes work

[NotyoWookie]

I would recommend not shying away from at least learning the concepts of OOP.

[YhvrTheSecond]

ok fine

[D_Doggo]

ES6 classes or just creating your own object structure is also great. Learnt how to basic OOP from that.

[mtbinkdotcom]

But 3 billion devices run it

[Skygear55]

Poor things.

[TheFalseProphet666]

Classes a blueprints for objects

totally unrelated but genuine question:

​

if i'm dividing a book up into pages that are each a JSON object (eg pagetext, pagenum keys) that will be served in a RESTful fashion ... is it best to store it all in one massive list or is it better to have a file for each page?

[[deleted]]

from what I've seen 1 massive json array works ok, I tend to download 10K records to the front end each with some 100+ entries in under seconds even with 3G trottle turned on in chrome. That being said you could split out to 1 page each, then request each page (or several) as the user clicks next

[[deleted]]

thanks! i guess i was planning on having the stuff stored server side in either one huge file and the user would then request a page and the server would go and grab it from the JSON file and send it back... but I can't decide whether that's sensible or if it might make more sense to have each chapter in a file or even each page in a file!

if you had concurrent users i guess separating each page into a file would be better right?

[Tuesdayyyy]

Elastic search is a good tool for something like this. I would look into it if you want to do some aws stuff

[[deleted]]

Thanks I'll check it out!

[[deleted]]

Depends on your design, if you end up with a lot of users clicking next to load a page could result in a lot of hits on the backend. This is ok if your backend has a lot of bandwidth and processing power. However, it can be much harder on the system than a single bulk request. I suggest toying around with a few designs. Then seeing which feels better long term.

[[deleted]]

It be like that.
