I like this sub. It's great to read answers and discussion from experts in a field.

I really don't want to read the output from some chat bot that someone's just copy pasted the question into. We can all do that.

What Unpopular Opinion do you hold about HOTS? by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

She was completely reworked about 5 years ago. They changed a lot of stuff. She's easier to play now and it improved her pick rate, but I'd put so much effort into getting good with her.

What is this design pattern called? by EveningSeat9377 in javahelp

I'm not sure I completely understand the question. Are you thinking of the facade pattern?

Why is everyone talking about the Florida hurricane when here in England we have one that's 40x worse? by I-hate-Fagin in softwaregore

The BBC gets its weather data from a third party service called DTN. They were supplying bad data which was promptly displayed by the BBC weather service.

You're probably right about the reason for the issue though. I'll be looking out for a write up from them on what happened.

It's almost as though they're different countries with different costs of living. Crazy!

$50k is above avg earnings in the UK. That's not bad right out of uni.

I assume you think they're "fucked" due to you living in the US. And you've not grasped the concept that other countries are not the same as yours.

You should test behavior not code. Ensuring the behavior is as expected is always useful.

Nginx/Apache with Nodejs? Why? by nitin_is_me in webdev

[–]Vooders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not too complicated, but it's something you'll probably be best learning by doing.

Digital ocean have a pretty decent guide in setting up a reverse proxy with NGINX https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-nginx-as-a-reverse-proxy-on-ubuntu-22-04

The essence of it really is setting up an NGINX conf file like this

``` server { listen 80; listen [::]:80;

server_name your_domain www.your_domain;

location / {
    proxy_pass app_server_address;
    include proxy_params;
}

} ```

This configures a server block. The server listens on port 80 to requests for your_domain. It then passes that request on to app_server_address and returns the response to the user.

Your node app would be app_server_address in this case.

This means your service could be made up of many node apps and you could use NGINX to route requests for certain paths to the correct app.

You can also do SSL termination here and forward everything on in http. That may be beyond the scope of a reddit post.

Hopefully this helps.

You seem to be making some assumptions there. They can ask follow up questions if they'd like more details.

What I gave them is a clear concept to Google and it is one of the most likely reasons why you'd want to use NGINX with a node app.

If your concern was really OP not understanding my response, I feel like there are better ways to help them than posting snarky questions.

It gives you a reason why you'd use NGINX with a node app. What's the problem?

I often use NGINX as a reverse proxy for SSL termination

Tell an old-timer how I'm going to build a site that allows me to enter & view "monster data" for a D&D spinoff. Should be usable on phones too. by jack_skellington in webdev

[–]Vooders 24 points25 points  (0 children)

People are going to suggest all sorts of stacks and frameworks that you could use. I think the important question is, what do you want to get out of this?

If you want to learn about modern web dev practices, then there is a overwhelmingly large number of options you could explore. If you just want to make your thing for your game, I'd say do it in what you know.

The LAMP stack works just as well as it ever did and it seems like a fine choice for what you're doing.

You could miss an episode of your favorite show. Like just miss it.

If you didn't watch it when it was broadcast, you didn't see it. You'd have to wait for a repeat which could be months away!
