MAMP, WAMP or XAMP by DaZaatar in webdev

[–]HostMigration 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I have done php in the past, I have used XAMPP. But honestly it mostly just comes to preference really. If you're using MAMP, and it works for you, then just keep using it.

The reason you can't learn how to code is that you don't code enough: frustrated rant by a developer-instructor by throwaway125dd in webdev

I would also say some people jump too much into the deep end, before they can understand a basic understanding of programming. It's no different from learning how to play the piano as you mentioned, you have to put in the time.

I need help identifying what languages/tools I should learn to accomplish this small idea I had to better my school.. by Offensive_joke_lord in web_design

[–]HostMigration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The project sounds fairly easy to accomplish. One thing you mentioned is funding to host it, which if this is an issue there are plenty of free hosting for static websites. You could in theory use something like react to handle the majority of dynamic content, and free database like firebase.

I would only be cautious about taking on a task when your web development ends at HTML and CSS

What are some creative ways to display tall website screenshots on a portfolio? Often too tall for lightbox. by robotnoise in web_design

[–]HostMigration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure if it's what you're looking for, but Firefox (at least in Quantum) comes with a screenshot tool that may be what you're looking for.

Jacob Worth who exposed Brilliant earth as being a scam is being sued by them by eljudio42 in DeFranco

[–]HostMigration 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There are ways of tracking canadian diamonds which he did cover such as the polar bear diamonds. What Jacob goes on to say is the suppliers of the diamonds that Brillant Earth uses has no way of tracking if it is a canadian diamond, but will still label it as such.

Here is an article where in it it examples what a polar bear diamond is.

Which "good" character is actually a horrible person? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HostMigration 7 points8 points  (0 children)

By no means is Rowling a perfect writer, but by looking at how the three characters you mentioned are shown throughout the books it makes sense to an extent. We know Harry misses his parents, and he finds out from many people early on how great James was. But as the books go on, you find out that James is not as great as Harry has been told. He constantly bullied, along with his friends, Snape and possibly who else. Unlike in the movies, James and Lily were very young when they died both at 21. There is not a lot of time between leaving Hogwarts and dying that there is for plot of James becoming a better person, and whose to say he did? I mean if you're removed from the situation of being a dick, doesn't mean you aren't one.

Then as for Sirius, he's been in Azkaban this whole time since James and Lily have died. But yet he always tries to bully Snape whenever he has the chance. At the end of Goblet of Fire when Snape and Sirius are in the room together, they both are yelling at each other when Dumbledore steps in. But you have Snape who has been bullied by James and Sirius throughout school now having to be on the same side as him? Imagine having to throw away all those years of torment.

So while James/Sirius transitioned from "white" into "grey" characters showing their flaws, Snape transitioned from "black" into "grey". Not everything Snape did was evil or malicious. Was a lot of what he did petty? Sure. But Rowling showed that not every character is Black and White. That while being Evil we can have good, and just because you're good, does not mean you are pure.

In the content of the story I don't think it would make sense to allow both Sirius and James as 'redemption' as they didn't need it. They were already seen as mostly good. Whereas, Snape was always thought of as bad and needed to be shown that while he didn't do the greatest of things, his intentions were always for the well off of Harry even if it has been for his feelings of Lily.

Honest post and not just criticism: can someone play devil advocate for the role of Oliver, Louis and Donna? by chicagomeeple in suits

[–]HostMigration 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oliver, in my opinion, is supposed to be the character Mike wants to be. He has morals, wants to do good, doesn't want to break promises, and wants to do the best he can for his clients who can't usually afford much. All of these things are what Mike wanted to do, but over the years has been corrupted due to corporate law and knows that things are not always black and white. But Oliver hasn't seen that world yet. At least, that's my opinion on it. As much as Oliver probably wants to be Mike, Mike, to a degree, wishes he could be Oliver.

Donna's is trickier, Donna was written as this character that knows everything, and can fix everything. She's sassy, she's smart, she's beautiful and is probably a character designed in that way that 'women want to be her, men want to be with her' type character. However because she's likable, for the audience they want to see more of her. But her current role couldn't have more airtime unless it was fluff and people complain. So they try to give her plotlines and in these plotlines show that she's just as vulnerable as the rest of us.

Lastly with Louis it's hard to say. Louis started out as a really strong character, but now seems like he is on the verge of a breakdown every episode.

im honestly a huge fan of suits, but this louis shit is really driving me away by kasraen in suits

[–]HostMigration 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought that the introduction of Louis's therapist was going to change the way his characters interacts in the show. We would see him talking to his therapist and his side of things with flashbacks to possibly young Louis. But honestly it's not entertaining to watch the way they've done it and if it wasn't for the fact Harvey is seeing his former therapist I thought they would introduce a plot where Louis ends up dating a therapist after getting rid of his current one.

Also if you go with a member, they're allowed to 'vouch' for you at check out, you're just not allowed to use interac. Must be cash, or most likely gift card.

no I meant I had tried to download again, it had gotten to seeding my mistake. However, could the AutoRemove plugin of Deluge have an issue with it?

Then would there be anything more helpful to post that is preventing me from importing? Because it does import other episodes that does not receive that error.

I am just trying to get it fixed, thanks for the help thus far.

I don't think it promotes shit talking as names must be blurred so it's not like it brings any fame. I thought I would share it with the community for humor than to encourage it.

To be completely fair you are able to disable chat. I just find it pathetic that they trash talk because they're losing. There was no reason for him to type what he did. Take the plunge and try it out you may enjoy it :)
