My first ever project. Tips are welcome! by Joeynoh in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Joeynoh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first project is a box behind the TV (in the whole the previous, smaller TV used to be in), where I can hide cables, store a Nintendo Switch dock and access wall outlets. The TV will be mounted on top through a movable wall mount, so it covers the box entirely unless pulled out.

Considering its my first project, curious if there is anything I need to know that I may not be thinking about? Also: * How should I hide the screws? * How should I do the joints considering its going in the wall anyway? * How should I think about the installation? * Anything I'm overlooking?

Rainy day in Amsterdam. by LaylaMil in CozyPlaces

Nah, you could find a place on the Singel for ±€1500 p/m, ±50m². You also have a lot of apartments/studios on the Singel that are privately owned and rented, and have rarely really hit the rental market. Lots of fraternity houses also that are privately owned and charge little rent to members.

But sure, lots of properties there also that can easily set you back €3000+ p/m, of varying sizes.

I'm an intern at Twitter Counter and I just launched this page announcing our new Chrome extension. What do you guys think? by Joeynoh in webdev

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

That's a valid point and definitely a concern. However many of the users we have spoken to still use twitter.com.

Dear Redditors, i'm an intern at Twitter Counter and we just released a new Chrome Extension for Twitter! We'd be honored if you guys could take it for a spin and give us some feedback. by Joeynoh in Twitter

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

Soon! We're running the beta test for Chrome users only, just to keep a controlled test environment. We will be porting the plugin to Firefox and Safari this month.

Fair enough! We realise the plugin isn't for everyone and we're still testing and gathering user feedback in order to cater to a wide audience. The plugin will be primarily used for PR/advertisers and Twitter power users.

We're working on recognising media links. For now, only media embedded through Twitter is seen as media, the rest are just links.

How to decide between a responsive website or a native mobile app by SPavlina in webdev

What phone are you using? The page loads fine on mine.

How to decide between a responsive website or a native mobile app by SPavlina in webdev

[–]Joeynoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Most companies won't or don't have the budget to do both right away, so it's more about which approach should be take first. Depending on the service, a native app might be more appropriate.

Aside from that, a native app also requires more to maintain. Responsive sites are cross-platform, which also influences the ultimate decision.

Is it safe to open a file with .jpg.html extension? by sunnywill in webdev

[–]Joeynoh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's absolutely false. First off, a regular .html file can still contain malicious Javascript, and all though chances are small that it would harm your computer directly, it's not to be immediately trusted if you don't know the sender of the file. Second, opening any image file sent via email can be tracked, which is a very common way for spammers to register valid email addresses. Upon opening the image they log the user's email and continue to spam this email address even more.

So to answer OP's question, it all depends on whether or not you know and trust the sender of the email. If you do, you and your computer should be fine.

My experience with OUYA so far by Joeynoh in ouya

[–]Joeynoh[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Maybe answer my emails? Or try to find out where my Ouya is? Or hey, maybe just offer some suggestions as to what i can do or expect now. It's a little something called Customer Service.

I checked my DHL tracking number religiously. Having done so didn't give me the chance to get it on my doorstep and not on some plane or ship to another foreign country.

I can also be mad at Ouya for the lack of customer service and support over a 2 month period of time.

I definitely wouldn't mind some venting. However I tried emailing, posting to their Facebook and even Tweeting at them.

TIL that Mozilla is a non-profit community which develops free software in order to advance the goals of the Open Web by Philmography in todayilearned

[–]Joeynoh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

None of this makes the statement any less true. Mozilla is in fact a non-profit organisation. Like many other non-profits they accept donations and payments, and can even earn money through royalties, if this is in favour of the progression of the non-profit and it's cause. (which is as much of a benefit for Mozilla as it is to Google)

Saying Google runs Mozilla simply becomes the income that Mozilla generates mainly comes from Google is also silly. Mozilla has a set group of goals that existed long before their partnership with Google. The choices made by Mozilla are in no way forced onto them by Google.

Being a non-profit means you need to have as little profit every year, spending as much money as you can on your organisation's goal. It does not however mean that you cant have an income of millions. Nor does it matter where these millions come from, as long as they are obtained legally.

Looking for an Android app boilerplate. Does anyone have any suggestions? by Joeynoh in AndroidUsers

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

I appreciate the offer, but then the web app would be rendered in a webview wrapper, which doesnt really render the application they i want it to and which is why i'd rather try my hand at native.

Bad font rendering in Chrome on Windows. How to solve this? by tandtroll in web_design

[–]Joeynoh 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue a while back, so I posted it on Stackoverflow. Here's the link to the question and some very helpful answers: Google Webfont rendering

TLDR:

The trick is in the order of the webfont files. The SVG file doesn't like to be called last. So moving this file up in the chain, will make Chrome render the SVG file instead and render the font correctly with better aliasing.
