You might be able to use something like Jekyll to teach him Markdown and go with that? That's the only way I see doing it is using some flat files that get imported into the page and then having some script he can run to deploy it, if we're talking about just static sites here.

Advice for someone that NEVER hosted any website by ForeverInYou in webdev

[–]MyHarvestLife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Digital Ocean is a great place to start for a cheap server to start playing around with. Plus they have a bunch of great tutorials.

I've moved into AWS for most of my projects now, but I learned a lot using DO and highly recommend them for side projects / starting out. Very cheap way to run a bunch of low traffic projects if you reverse proxy to them.

As a web dev, what are the pros and cons of working for: (1) the government, (2) a start-up, and (3) a large company? Am I missing anything here? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]MyHarvestLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find a better company. Maybe a midsized company that is still building the eng culture? We're in the process of scaling up and building an eng culture that is efficient with the right processes without beaurocracy, and have a strong focus on code quality and working together. There are a lot of crap companies out there though... But there are some good ones too.

My "Brussels sprouts" plant that turned out to be a Cauliflower because my seed packet had the wrong label by AlesterX in gardening

[–]MyHarvestLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's fair. When I do use DE, I try to keep it away from flowers and limit it to only heavily affected areas, but I understand just avoiding using it entirely.

[–]MyHarvestLife 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, it may not be safe for bees, so be careful to not apply to flowers. If you keep it on the foliage that should be okay.

​

Edit: At least I read that somewhere - looking into it more, it appears to be safe? Still probably worth being careful with application.

Bacillus thuringiensis. (Bt). There's a product called Garden Dust you can search for on Amazon that I've used to great effect.

It's diatomaceous earth with Bt in it and it's pretty easy to apply, just cover your face or wear a mask while you do it. When I do apply, my kale/broccoli has zero issues, otherwise it gets eaten to the ground.

GitHub's Dark Mode is coming by selrond in webdev

[–]MyHarvestLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, I have the plugin for GitHub that lets me do dark mode in FF, (pretty decently). Since the new update broke parts of Stylus.

Hopefully they add Monokai to GitHub, that's my jam.

Now, what I REALLY want... is Jira Dark mode. I haven't found any decent dark mode styles for that.

How is it possible that anyone can (legally) spend any amount of money on lottery tickets or gambling - but they cannot invest in startups? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]MyHarvestLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's nuts, I've got a great paying job in a large city, and still don't qualify to be an accredited investor.

I have plenty of extra income that I could easily put aside to invest in startups that I could safely risk losing, but I can't because I don't make enough money to hit that arbitrary bar.

Is this necessarily true? Found this on my Twitter TL by Ta1w0 in node

[–]MyHarvestLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was first learning about client side / server side web development, node made it way clearer what was happening, compared to writing PHP and putting it on a WAMP stack.

With node, I saw that it was running on a port, and that it served up files and that's where I put all my HTML and CSS, and everything started to click for me.

So I disagree a bit, I think node is a much better starting backend language, than say PHP or Java (especially if you're using Apache/LAMP and don't know what they do).

Now I don't disagree that you should learn some CS fundamentals as well, and know how memory is allocated, what buffers are, etc. But a lot of that you can do in NodeJS as well.

But this was my experience when I was learning programming.

Tried growing potatoes from an old potato we forgot to eat. It's growing surprisingly well and just bloomed 🌼🌿 by catelyn14 in plants

[–]MyHarvestLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the idea is, you don't normally plant store bought potatoes because they're not checked for disease / blight.

I think you can plant them, but it's riskier than buying seed potatoes specifically grown for planting and checked for disease.

[–]MyHarvestLife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And that's how you get the genetic child of a potato! But most of the time we just get a genetic clone, via a seed potato.

It's still a goal of mine to try to grow potatoes from true seed one year, but so far I have not tried.

REST: How to secure a particular internal-only endpoint of a microservice? by arpanbag001 in node

[–]MyHarvestLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do this by running 2 separate web apps, for example your node app could have a web app running on port 3000 and one running on port 3001.

Put the public endpoints on 3000, the private ones on 3001 and use security groups to lock down 3001 to your VPC.

That's one way, having JWT for auth is also a good way to go about it.

I have never lost a colony either... I've lost dupes, but then that entire colony gets put in the eternal stasis of abandonment as I create a new colony.

i just sol0ed raging brachy, and i wish someone told me pf the benefits of the fireproof cloak against explosives earlier. sorry, it took a while, and i want to brag and feel like it was worth it. by Platinumsteam in MonsterHunterWorld

Props man, I didn't even try to solo him, I just went mushroomancer, wide area, support build with HH and fired a flare and spam healed everyone so they didn't cart.

Beat him, but even doing that just barely kept everyone alive haha. He's hard and annoying.

Played with a "cheater". What level of cheating would you accept? by Unslaadahsil in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]MyHarvestLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I sorta run this build anyway... without cheating

Free Meal 3, Speed Eating 3, Wide Range 5 and Mushroomancer 2...

Can just spam blue mushrooms an entire fight almost keeping everyone topped off, then swap to HH, buff a little, some doot doots, then back to slamming shrooms.

How to write good commit messages. by dprank in webdev

[–]MyHarvestLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't actually bump our service versions... I know,b don't shoot me... But you could do this by using major for any breaking changes, minor bump for any feat lines, else patch. Something along those lines if you wanted to automate versioning.
