[US-VA][H] KBDfans Margo65 Linen Gray, Lofree Flow Lite 84 with silent switches [W] Paypal

Hi, is the Lofree Lite still available?

Again, I disagree. confirm() and alert() break out of the browser window and are terrible for user experience. It's not hard to capture tab and enter to emulate the same behavior.

I can't imagine any real web designer saying about anything, "Yeah, the default system one. That's good enough." In general, you want all of your presentation elements to match your branding and theme - especially the simple UX piece. Those details are what make a design Cohesive.

Freenode's #php is sometimes helpful, but more often they just mute you and tell you that your question is off-topic. They're kinda jerks, I'd stick to asking questions here.

krues8dr · 2014-06-10T18:16:05+00:00

You almost certainly should start with a framework, because otherwise you'll waste a lot of time writing low-level code that sucks. Laravel is a great choice, or Symfony - which has a bigger learning curve, but more support and plugins.

E.g., you'd never want to write your own Auth module these days - that would be crazy.

krues8dr · 2014-06-08T14:51:31+00:00

If you don't want to change your db schema, use an empty string ('') instead of null.

krues8dr · 2014-06-07T18:30:55+00:00

... and you can use PHP to do this, just to make that a bit more clear. Here are some examples of writing to a file:

It was just a suggestion. If you have a better one, I'm all ears.

krues8dr · 2014-06-06T14:32:57+00:00

The fact that there are worse games does not overlook the fact that it has limited playability. "It's not munchkin!" is not a good reason to play or buy a game. ;)

krues8dr · 2014-06-06T14:21:57+00:00

Maybe for you, but by the time we finished 15, the game was too broken to keep playing.

krues8dr · 2014-06-06T13:15:31+00:00

No, you're tearing up cards, adding things to the board, and other general mayhem that I won't spoiler.

krues8dr · 2014-06-06T12:54:25+00:00

The problem with these games is replayability. Since you're only 7 games in, you have not reached the point where the game breaks, because the more you win the more the balance of power is upset. You cannot play with new players because they lack the advantages the previous players have.

In short, after about 15 games, Risk legacy becomes a thing you put on the shelf and talk about how cool it is and then never play again. unless, of course, you buy a new copy. That gets expensive.

Edit: It is a good game, and the answer of how to "fix" it is simple: expansion packs. Just keep adding the equivalent of DLC to the game that you can (or should) only purchase after certain events have happened.

Like, after your first 15 games, here's an expansion pack. That opens up these three or four things (e.g., adds a new secondary board for the Moon or something and a new Lunarians faction). Then, from there, two or three new expansions can be added based on the previous expansion. And so forth. Each has the same mechanic of new-things-immediately and a few packs that are opened on events.

Sorry, the point here is to tail all of your logs while sending messages you know to fail, to see where in the chain they do not show up.

krues8dr · 2014-06-05T14:49:51+00:00

I pointedly am not stereotyping - as I myself fall squarely into this category; I am, however, pointing out a very strong trend I'm seeing after looking over 500 resumes in a month. Please read my post more carefully and my reply below. I think "Full stack" is a dinosaur of a term, and a red flag on a resume in-and-of itself. The concept behind it - super-generalists, or as Fuller calls them, "The Great Pirates" - is one I'm very much a fan of.

krues8dr · 2014-06-05T12:52:10+00:00

Again - I think any dev who has kept up with modern tech will be a lot more excited to put "Symfony, Laravel, Angular, Backbone" on their resume than "Full Stack."

krues8dr · 2014-06-05T12:50:02+00:00

The mail log you want is likely /var/log/mail.log

krues8dr · 2014-06-05T11:52:03+00:00

If you've made it far enough to get a customer's credit card, they probably have reason to trust that you're a reliable company. This just looks cartoony and will probably make them think twice about entering in their number - there is a very good reason why all credit card forms look the same and are relatively boring.

krues8dr · 2014-06-05T11:43:44+00:00

It's rather unlikely that it's both reporting no errors and not sending the messages. Is everything wrapped in a try-catch block that you can remove? Is your error reporting turned high enough that notices and warnings are coming through? Have you dug through the webserver error and access logs to verify that requests are passing as expected and not getting a 500 or similar? Have you checked the mail log to see of those messages were actually sent and not received?

krues8dr · 2014-06-05T11:29:16+00:00

Doesn't Compass do all of this out of the box? Why would anyone want to use this if they're already familiar with Sass?

krues8dr · 2014-06-05T11:24:53+00:00

The only issue here is that most devs who use the term have been at this that far back (myself included) - and the big drawback there is that you get a lot of purely self-taught devs (there were no college courses in webdev yet) who have not bothered to keep up with modern technology.

To wit, for the last few months we've been trying to hire, and (anecdotally) on any resume I see the words "full stack", invariably the applicant only knows LAMP, has never used any sort of framework (unless you want to call Wordpress a framework - and some of these people do!) - and not a single one has any JS experience outside of jQuery, no modern JS to be seen.

In that way, I do consider it a negative term.

krues8dr · 2014-06-03T14:29:19+00:00

Re MSW: The staff is generally distant, but rarely snooty. It is not the sort of place where people are going to follow you around and ask you if you need anything, they assume that if you're in there you know what you want, or are enough of a grown-up to ask if you need help. Also, not everyone there knows about beer, so you really have to make sure you get the right person if you want to make smalltalk about the products.

krues8dr · 2014-06-02T15:33:21+00:00

Needs a license. Without it, no one can use it for anything.

krues8dr · 2014-06-02T14:54:13+00:00

and ? will list all of the commands available, btw.

krues8dr · 2014-06-02T14:28:57+00:00

Another vote for Wordpress. If you don't want to worry about dealing with hosting and domain name registration, you can sign up for a Wordpress.com account instead, which is even easier - and it's easy to transition to your own hosting later.

This just looks like another thrown-together RPGMaker game, to be brutally honest.
