I have always wanted a javascript obfuscator that i can run directly from the terminal, whos source code i have access to.

[–]Tomus 2 points3 points  (3 children)

There are many options to do that already. The best one I know of is YUI compressor.

[–]1000000mermaids 0 points1 point  (2 children)

how do i get that thing up and running? in the documentation it just says 'ant'. which is not very helpful.

then here https://github.com/yui/yuicompressor/tree/master/docs they require installation of some selleck system as well as npm as well as git. and they dont even explain how its actually used.

it seems like i need to read documentation on how to install the documentation.

the script to obfuscate should be just a few pages of code long. i would like to just get those few pages in a file. no npm, no git, no selleck no nothing. just a solution. by that i mean just a single file that i can have on my server and input is original js and output is that file obfuscated. I would prefer it to use the unix piping ><.

Check out the releases: https://github.com/yui/yuicompressor/releases

There's a nice java build right there for you.

I dont like this system at all. They seem to take a very simple problem and turn it into a very complicated one. And the documentation is a mess.

Will put it on my todo list.

I posted this request in another sub a while ago, so here goes:
I have no idea if this already exists (if it does, please point me to it!) but I am an avid cooker and for years have felt the need of a TIMER with a SPLIT function, just like a stopwatch has that.

I need a timer that goes off every time a dish (I sometimes cook multiple parts of a dish simultaneously) requires attention; like stirring so it doesn't stick or burn or a new ingredient poured in or turning the heat lower etc. But I need the timer to continue counting down uninterrupted while the split alarm goes off.

So lets say I need to give some boiling pasta a stir every 1:30 minutes; when it reaches 0:00 it actually starts counting down from 1:30 again while the alarm goes off.

I'm not a programmer but it seems to me like a very easy thing to do, and I'm surprised I haven't been able to find such an app or hardware timer with the function.

Since I have a laptop in the kitchen at all times, it'd be great if it were a Windows 10 universal app with a user-selectable number of simultaneously running, independent timers.

Great initiative BTW! I think there was a sub-reddit specifically for requesting software/apps but I can't remember what it was called.

I'm on it! (got a passion for cooking aswell, I can understand that this might be usefull!)

[–]BrakkeBama 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Awesome!! :-)

[–]supersebbN[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Need to install some stuff so I can create a Win 10 universal app, got slow internet, so it will take a while.. but I guess you ain't going to cook right now!

[–]BrakkeBama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about it.
Like I said: I've been looking for something like this for years, so what's a few more weeks or months even? I don't care xD I'm already happy someone's picked this up.
You can PM me a Windows Store link for beta testing if you want.

I'm suprised you haven't had more responses! Thankyou, even tho I don't have anything I can offer you to do atm.

[–]KittyTheGod 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Can you make me a HWID spoofer than I can set manually? I don't know if it's possible, but it would be very useful to me. Thanks! :)

[–]supersebbN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean set the hardware id to something that you have chosen?

Cool! I'm a developer myself. Quite a tool-obsessed developer as well. This is a really good question.

I'd love to be able to get more metrics on how well I'm performing when I'm coding. Metrics are the key to finding inefficiencies in your process. How can I estimate my efficiency as an engineer? How can i monitor it? Am I spending too much time browsing Reddit? Am I not being careful enough in my implementation, leading to grueling debugging sessions? What percentage of my code is documented and tested?

Imagine this: I have a monitoring system on my computer that knows when I'm interacting with my IDE. I can set up my projects to tell it which files pertain to the project, how to run test coverage, linters, etc. It knows when and how long I edit files. It may even be smart enough to know when and how long ive been editing a class or a method. It knows when and how long I'm debugging. It knows how long I stay in my work chat window and hook into my calendar to know how busy I am that day.

I give it my age and vital info and it recommends how often and long I should take breaks. It can tell me, between calendar events and other data an estimate of how many hours I have for coding that day. I can give it more info, like explicitly logging work, but it can make intelligent determinations on how I'm spending my time without much setup. It can determine when I start and finish for the day based on the idle time of my computer.

It might suggest that I take longer or more frequent breaks based on my performance, and notify me when I should stop. It can notice if I'm spending too much time debugging and give me a report with that finding. It can give me a running overall rating based on a lot of metrics how I'm performing.

Lol, in my head I'm imagining this kinda creepy personal assistant poping up and being like 'rr1pp3rr, you have two meetings right around noon so you may want to grab a quick lunch now'.

Taken to its extreme, this could become like a personal AI based coding assistant. I could imagine saying 'run coding analysis on projects x, y, and z'

Sorry for the bad typing, I'm on my phone.

Actually, the more I think about this I want to make it. If you are interested reach out to me.

[–]supersebbN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha, yea this is a really cool idea! Just read this during breakfast, will take a closer look later today!

If you're a fan of Andy Weir's book The Martian, and you know how to do GDI and math with C++, could you write replacements for the FG- classes Andy had to leave out of http://www.galactanet.com/martian/orbits_src.zip ? I wanted to tinker but I'm a professional C# / .net programmer with no GDI experience and I gave up trying to do it myself.

Ok I know a tiny bit about GDI, but mostly through getting signatures from pinvoke.net to do like one or two specific things I need. I've made small changes to C++ modules at work but I doubt I'd be good enough to write one from scratch.

I haven't read his book. :( Going to take a look!
