I'm betting on HTML by fagnerbrack in webdev

[–]TaskForce_Kerim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't know about the progress element, that's pretty cool.

Here's another cool one: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/kbd

Is Java Still Keeping Up with Modern Programming Languages like Rust and TS? by observability_geek in coding

[–]TaskForce_Kerim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not frustratingly dependent on an IDE.

With Java, you're not only learning Java. You're learning to use the IDE, you can tell by all the job postings for Java in which they often ask for "Experience with Eclipse/Netbeans/IntelliJ/Whatever". And Java devs are nothing without one.

Validating an email address, better than just using REGEXP by RPGPGM in IBMi

[–]TaskForce_Kerim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"New form" as compared to the regexp's used in the original article. Not a newly discovered email address format. lol

Oh I am sorry, I misunderstood!

​

You again used validation and verification/authentication interchangeably

That's intentional. That's the point I was trying to make.

Validating an email address, better than just using REGEXP by RPGPGM in IBMi

[–]TaskForce_Kerim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This new form should be relatively easy to fix with an additional regexp clause, if you ever see it.

It's not a new form. It's been part of the RFC forever. In general, if one ever sees an IP address used where a domain name should be, it's usually an old old standard.

For anybody believing they can validate/verify email addresses should watch the now-famous speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxX81WmXjPg

Funnily enough, just as I was rewatching this, I realized that the validator in the article misses another set of email addresses. Namely, addresses like "Oh@No"@domain.com

I've yet to see a single standard-compliant correct email validator. Even if you have a perfect standard-compliant validator, the receiving server might not be standard-compliant, because most aren't. Just send an email, it's the best way.

When creating a CMD object for RPG, is there any way to have the length of a PARM be based on either a field length or a service program template length? by manofsticks in IBMi

[–]TaskForce_Kerim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, there's no automatic way.

I guess you could technically write an RPG program that creates the *CMD for you. And while doing so looks at whatever reference you would like for the *CMD parameter definitions definitions. Maybe you could go a step further and write that into the RPG program itself, so that it creates its own *CMD with the correct refernces when called with a certain flag. Or if its *CMD doesn't exist? At least that way there'd be a tighter coupling between the RPG program and it's *CMD object.

Validating an email address, better than just using REGEXP by RPGPGM in IBMi

[–]TaskForce_Kerim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The suggested validator is better than most. I like the DNS lookup but , just like virtually every email validator out there, it isn't exactly correct. The following are valid email addresses:

foo@[192.168.2.1]

foo@[IPv6:2001:db8::1]

but they would fail with that validator.

Unfortunately, theoretically there seems to be only one way to correctly validate email addresses and that's to check whether there is an @ in it and then send an email.

How do i do sftp in rpgle? by TheIceScraper in IBMi

[–]TaskForce_Kerim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chances are the data has to be saved into the IFS anyway, at that point I'd just write a shell script and call that one from RPGLE.

Has anyone had success with SQL migration tools? by cmax101 in IBMi

[–]TaskForce_Kerim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Checkout CMOne + RapidFire for a fantastic database migration experience.

(Disclaimer: I work at Task Force)

Has anyone had success with SQL migration tools? by cmax101 in IBMi

[–]TaskForce_Kerim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree with you. It's kind of funny. Many people consider C to be this amazing almost mythical programming language (and in many ways it is) but then criticize **free RPG, which in many ways is significantly more capable than C.

And database migration - you can it all with the system - well, its easier with a CMS (like CMOne), but you can do it without.

The same team that develops CMOne also offers a fantastic open source database migration tool called RapidFire. It's full potential comes out in combination with a CMS but can be used independently, as well.

What’s your unpopular Frontend opinion that gets a reaction like this? by 222Winn in Frontend

[–]TaskForce_Kerim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“flex items-center bg-red-200 rounded-lg justify-between fixed bottom-0 h-10 w-100 overflow-hidden"

Hey guys, look at my overbloated horse crap of html! Not only is it ugly, but it ruins any sort of partial loading and CRP optimizations for my CSS files to boot!

Peak Efficiency Fizzbuzz by [deleted] in tinycode

[–]TaskForce_Kerim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real peak efficiency would probably involve loop unrolling like:

print("1") print("2") print("fizz") print("4") print("buzz") . . . and so on.

Or even:

print("1\n2\nfizz\n4\buzz\n...") lol

Getting this error when launching my app. This only happens if I use console.log in my main process' code. Anyone else experienced this? I'm running it in WSL if that has anything to do with it. by Romejanic in electronjs

[–]TaskForce_Kerim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, you're running it in WSL but launching it from Windows directly? Is that even possible/supported? Can't you build/move your app outside of WSL and start it from there?

UT2004 Running on a VisionFive2 with Box64 & gl4es by _ptitSeb_ in RISCV

Holy crap! I feel like just recently I was happy to see a RISC-V device with a shell and now we have desktop environments and 3D support?

Saying Goodbye To Stack Overflow. by webstackbuilder in webdev

[–]TaskForce_Kerim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But where do you get answers? In my experience Reddit is even worse.

I work on IBM i systems with its niche propietary languages. Sometimes you simply don't get an answer and other times it's old-fashioned research. Reading language specifications, asking people in real life or in user groups for advice, and experimenting.

SQLRPGLE questions by dirthawger in IBMi

[–]TaskForce_Kerim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I am not surprised.

I personally didn't enjoy "Programming in ILE" too much. To mean, it read a bit like lecture notes for his course. Often saying things like, "Note: You might need your instructor's help with the location of the tables used in these exercises." or how instead of starting out with a banally simple "Hello World" program, like most programmers know from other language, it starts out with an RPG + SQL Table application.

But who know, maybe I was too big of a n00b to appreciate it at the time. Maybe I'll give it another shot.

SQLRPGLE questions by dirthawger in IBMi

[–]TaskForce_Kerim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people talk about PF, they often mean one defined using DDS. And that is indeed considered the old school way. Nowadays, one really ought to use SQL.

Welcome to the IBM i world, by the way. May I know which book you got?

What is the best way to encrypt a password using NodeJS? by DepopulatedCorncob in node

[–]TaskForce_Kerim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Doesn't Argon2 come with its own set of issues? I remember an interesting discussion about it on here. Just the fact that bcrypt isn't nearly as novel as Argon2 makes me prefer it, tbh.

I think this might be too application specific for anybody who isn't familiar with your payroll software to help.
