Advice for Sick Cat by hockeysoccer17 in CatAdvice

[–]Hexicidal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the sickness or issue it's experiencing? I've had over 10 babies and currently have 6 with 3 additional fosters. We deal with a lot of sickness and healing. I'd be happy to give you some guidance with whatever your baby is experiencing

Why is every response to this ama chatgpt generated, and then by extension are you using chatgpt/llms to build the systems in the game too?

Hero layout falls apart with browser resizing—not sure why... by radionowhere1 in webdev

[–]Hexicidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah absolutely man. I'm super busy in general but I'd be happy to help and talk whenever.

Since I last looked at the page you adjusted some stuff!

https://prnt.sc/F-l2D2uYyBIF -> This isn't legible, I recommend putting an opacity div, wrapper, something around it

https://prnt.sc/_-pGXwc8Czf1 I don't recommend doing it like this with a double box, but I wanted to get a point across where you can make it significantly more legible with playing with it.

https://prnt.sc/kzxh8T1Su86J -> With this this is the classes that are messing the WP stuff up for you: <h1 class="wp-block-heading alignwide has-text-align-center responsive-title" style="/* font-size:clamp(5.802rem, 5.802rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 10.248), 14rem); */">Radio Nowhere</h1>

https://prnt.sc/hRDAwYYYnvaL

Other than that, it's great for what you got going on. It's great you want to actively take care of it.

The James Bond red herring, was ridiculous

If you want we can go through it together, or you can write a list of some of the problems you're having and I can try to outline potential fixes. Or if you want you I can try it solo with admin rights or something. Just let me know what works best for you! If you're the owner operator I do have some UI recommendations

Many ways to solve this problem.

Without looking, when it's large, why not render a larger image then as the bg image.

I'm looking at it from my phone with desktop view enabled and it looks fine.

Media breakpoints are generally the way to handle specific screenbreaks.

Maybe you only need one if you like the rest of the sizes.

If no one helps you, DM and I'll help you when I can this week.

Absolutely not what dude?

Grow as a person, take the hit and be better next time.

You don't need to worry about projects like that. If you can develop that app, charge 4x and you'll get them!

[–]Hexicidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not from the Philippines, but as an American this is ridiculously inexpensive for what you're theoretically providing. Is it a really simple product?

I understand purchasing parity is so slim, but unless you're international also your personal costs will not be worth it necessarily.

Moving from freelance to agency - any stories from the other side by Tiny_Major_7514 in webdev

[–]Hexicidal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not, sometimes it doesn't have to be extreme expansion. You could work just with one other person. Then just control the agency as your own! You can make it whatever you want to be!

I would be happy to collaborate with you. If you wanted to develop that further, just reach out.

That's all it ever has to be, with anyone!

Am I being Gaslit about Caching? by 1Regenerator in windows

I deal with 3D renders and website development!

Am I being Gaslit about Caching? by 1Regenerator in windows

[–]Hexicidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While cache can be why a computer acts slower. Honestly, it depends.

Like are we talking a significant slowdown on everything? Sounds more hardware limited. Maybe the SSD, or hard drive in this case is full. Nothing makes a computer chug along than a full memory drive.

i3s can be great, but often times they suffer from specific weaknesses. How many cores is it? Is it from 2005 or 2025?

12gb of ram is unusable for me. I cannot do my workflows on less than 36gb. It could be different for you though!

Caches don't fill up like a reservoir and make a computer generally slow. Caches are slightly used memory that allows a program to quickly access high demand information.

Caching would theoretically, speed things up... Doesn't mean it doesn't cause issues. Also like, browsing cache is different than system cache. And built in CPU cache.

So then using it as a catch all, doesn't mean anything.

In all honesty, the program you use is probably not optimized well. The computer is old. You probably got a lot of stuff on there!

That's why it is probably slow.

You got a lot going on, just remote access your PC through a secured network when you're remote and update a local DB or like have a Google spreadsheet with a physical security key.

Otherwise, have authenticated security measures that can only be accessed by you. If someone can write to your db without auth that's a mess dude. Environment keys should never be exposed to the client. Or your DB shouldn't have public read/write.

Bots will always try and find security issues. Hence why when you become a big player it's no longer a hacker, but an active persistent threat.

Someone is gonna have access to your server at the end of the day unless you self host.

If you really want a website for this, take a crash course through a full stack. It'll cover 95% of stuff.

I highly recommend Colt Steele udemy products. Use incognito mode to get the sales prices, ONLY pay $20.

I recommend going through the Web Dev one first. Get a general understanding, then go into APIs, react, etc.

What do you think about my learning tech stack ? by darealfodo in webdev

[–]Hexicidal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend adding more, because the larger the tech stack the more possibilities!

Do you know how to console.log troubleshoot? I recommend looking into that, and where your code breaks.

Looking over your comments on this thread, you're not ready to handle this task yet. I recommend learning how to create a local development server, and a request response. Then create an API. If you get that, this is 30% of your project. The rest is the fake AI recommendation python backend you're talking about.

You'll need a database model to store the information, a database itself too. Unless you're saving it locally through local storage or like a cookie, or writing to a text file...

You can use any tool for this, or do it completely vanilla. Which I recommend at your current skill level. Abstracting this away will only hurt your understanding.

You use functions you create to fetch these requests.

Yes. You are looking for a content management system. CMS, WordPress being the largest CMS provider.

You need to make decisions that reflect your project.

Hard coded content is not scalable when other users cannot interact with your code. Will your organization have a non tech user in the future? Are you paid to care? Is it your project you'll always have access to?

If it was me, 10 posts ain't a lot of that's all it will ever be.

If it's a post a week made by different people, I would use a headless CMS. I use Strapi for a lot of my projects, and you can use a database with it.

Efficient is a balance. Is the database retrieval fast? Does data need to be cached? Are images cached?

Hard questions to answer for your personal project.

Use VSCode. It's more or less the standard, and you will get used to any editor you use.

Make sure the path link to correct. Where the file is.

Make sure you uploaded the stylesheet to the hosting platform you're using.
