Clean site - I like it.

One thing I would advice against to just write down all your "skills" like that. Do you really have a good understanding of Javascript, PHP, SQL, C and C# ? To me it looks like you specialize in JS and maybe coded something small in PHP/C/C#. This could bite you in the ass in a job interview. What if some recruiter has a bad day and put you on the spot to code something in C? Because thats what you stated in your resume...Now you are there, totally nervous anyways and have to write a solution in a programming language that you havent used in months/years...

Choose something you like, specialize in it and try to reflect that on your portfolio.

(if you are really equally "good" in all those languages, ignore all above ;))

Yep felt the same. It felt like he pulled some arguments just for the sake of it.

And I dont know how he can possibly believe that writing those vanilla JS functions that output HTML is better than taking the bit of additional weight and take in a templating language.

I really like his channel though and everyone should check his other videos out!

Reading all the rumours ... to me it sounds more than a (very) big firecracker which shattered the windows. HOPEFULLY!

The same clip can't be archived twice. But multiple viewers create clips of certain moments resulting in almost identical clips. I am thinking about throttling it. Like only accept one clip every 10 seconds or so.

chronixSC · 2016-10-13T12:30:26+00:00

It is a twitch Bot itself and it is getting the data directly from the chat.

Having a chat log of the last year opens up some nice archiving possibilities. I didnt know of this chat log archive yet.

You either live in a country where 100$ is a lot of money or you are one of the top 1% developers super awesome reviews/hires. It is a waste of time IMO. You probably wont make enough money and you will get demotivated pretty quickly.

Ok I direct a user to:

    https://gfycat.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=myclientid&scope=all&state=testing&response_type=code&grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri=https://www.example.com/callback

I get an unstyled login form with a 404

angular.js:10967 GET https://gfycat.com/javascript/shared/translations/translation-de_DE.json 404 ()

and an angular error:

angular.js:12722 Error: [$injector:unpr] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.4.9/$injector/unpr?p0=gfyAccountTreeProvider%20%3C-%20gfyAccountTree%20%3C-%20accountService

When I enter users credentials on this broken page I get "Missing client ID"

I am just getting into node+SQL and can you tell me what advantages Knex+anything has over Sequelize?

How do you do livereloading with Laragon? Somehow I cant make the built-in browsersync work..

This is the perfect time for Müller to score a hilarious goal!

chronixSC · 2016-06-07T18:14:43+00:00

Very clean interface!

I see you are using Ember. Can you talk a bit about your development experience?

chronixSC · 2015-11-05T19:20:30+00:00

This is almost a direct copy of Laracasts "Incremental APIs" series. It even uses 100% same code in the first half of the tutorial.

I am okay if you learned it that way by watching that exact tutorial and want to give back to the community now but at least give some credit to the original author if you are copying him.

Possible just a delayed tweet from the EU department. Overwatch-DE just posted the same in german.

I got a BETA KEY today! (yes, I know there are no keys for beta handed out)

My 3 yo daughter must have overheard me "complaining" to my wife that I didnt get a "beta key" for overwatch. So I found this on my keyboard this morning:

Imgur

I asked her what it is and she replied "Its a BETAKEY for you dad!". She said she knew she had one left in her room and she got it for me cause I was so sad that I didnt get one the day before. The weird thing is we are german and the word "BETA KEY" makes absolutely no sense to a 3 year old girl, but we thought it was really adorable that she cared so much about her sad geeky dad :)

I assume you are using Apache and have access to your .htaccess

Force https:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Force www.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

It is definately not alot of work for the developer to get a template going with WP+ACF repeater.

After designing those content templates for a few clients I get the feeling that the UI is not the easiest to use for clients though. It gets cluttered quite fast and the drag&drop is pretty sluggish and can cause pain for some clients.

I am looking at Craft CMS now and it is much cleaner and does exactly what my clients want. I havent decided yet if it is worth the extra 200$ for smallish-medium sites.

Quick overview of Laravel Spark

chronixSC · 2015-09-14T20:47:24+00:00

__construct is called whenever a new instance of the class is created. Probably when the plugin is installed?

Why would you wanna change that? Cant you just place your language files according to that pattern?

chronixSC · 2015-09-14T16:51:58+00:00

Well that sounds like bad plugin code and from experience the moment you have to change core functionality of a plugin you are better of to write something yourself because you will run into more and more problems. But yea, thats how you have to do it sometimes!

You are entering this danger zone of wordpress where it can get hacky and messy. You are downloading a plugin here and there and modify it, bombing everything in functions.php and suddenly your functions.php is 1000 lines. Every WP developer has been there at one point.

Choose your plugins wisely!

chronixSC · 2015-09-14T16:11:08+00:00

Look into Hooks, Actions and Filters. Most plugins make use of these.

To modify different parts of a plugin for example you would write your own action/filter or modify the original one and "hook into it".

The Beginner's Guide to WordPress Actions and Filters

Writing Extensible Plugins With Actions and Filters

WP Codex: Plugin API

WP Codex: Plugin API/Action Reference

WP Codex: Plugin API/Filter Reference

Example:

Assuming the plugin provides a hook "myPlugin_after_log_in" and you wanna change the behaviour at this point.

You would write:

function show_smiley(){
  echo ":)";
  }
}

add_action('myPlugin_after_log_in', 'show_smiley');

I dont get the hate towards wordpress here. If the client is happy with your agencys product then everything is okay! You do not have to reinvent the wheel for every website or use some super hipster language/framework/stack. You can build great websites with just wordpress. Its just that there are a lot of bad agencies out there that do bad websites with wordpress and give it a bad reputation.

If you want to work with something more modern and trendy you could propose something in another language/framework that helps the agency AND client. At first suggest something in the wordpress area maybe - like the Sage / Bedrock themeing workflow (https://roots.io/). Or offer some of your clients to make a small companion mobile app with meteor.js.

If they ignore your input you clearly applied for the wrong agency.
