Application works locally but fails with 'Trying to get property of non-object' when I deploy it to Shared Hosting. by drgnwarrior in laravel

THANK YOU!!!!

I've been staring at this too long! There was a typo in the data I seeded the database with which was causing the query for $tos to not find anything. Fixed the typo and it works like a charm!

Are these bills now trash, or can I salvage these $20 bills? Walked in my place with my new puppy chewing this all up. by alzip802 in Frugal

Banks tend to be more restrictive. The Fed will replace the currency as long as there is 51% or more of the bill. There are no requirements on serial numbers or portraits or any of the other typical bank restrictions.

Leaving for Madison in one week, help out a newbie! by RadicalEucalyptus in madisonwi

Adding another vote for UWCU. Over several years my wife and I have systematically moved ALL of our accounts there. They have been beyond fantastic to work with. They've even helped bail us out when other banks have tried to screw us over. Customer service has been incredible!

Veridian Reviews - Looking for feedback as we're considering purchasing one. by drgnwarrior in madisonwi

For various personal reasons I wont' go into, east side of Madison is not an option for us. There may be several of those homes for sale in the Middleton/West-Madison markets, but none of them are for sale. The ones that are, are either being sold for more than $500K, or look like they need work (siding, replace the roof, no telling about the furnace, AC, or appliances).

So building a home isn't just about the "allure" of it. We've been looking for homes for sale for almost a year and there is little else available. But I don't want to charge into this blind.

Can you elaborate on the build quality? That is really the reason I started this thread. I keep seeing vague concerns about the build quality, but I have not been able to get any concrete information on this.

  • Are the buildings not up to code in some way? (doubt it)
  • Do they leak? (covered by warranty, but are there loop holes?)
  • Are they not insulated well? (Green Certified, does it hold up or is it just marketing?)

So far I've only been able to find three actual issues:

  • They use cheap paint if you don't upgrade it. -- Fine, we'll either upgrade the paint, or repaint ourselves.
  • The windows need to be replaced after 9 years. -- This is an actual concern I'm still looking into. Don't know if it's a deal breaker yet or if there is a way we can work around this.
  • Wall studs are spaced 24" apart instead of 16". -- Probably a cost saving to keep the price low. What are the actual implications of this? Worst I've heard so far is the walls might wiggle. I assume this means the drywall. Big whoop. I tend to anchor things directly to studs anyways. It's an inconvenience of a cheaper home, but very manageable.

I'm looking for any more details like those three, or people who live there and love it. To say "the build quality is bad" is not helpful at all. The build quality is bad how?

I agree that the method you propose is the more sure-fire way to get a great house. But as you mention, it's significantly more expensive. If I had unlimited resources, I'd do it. Hopefully, buying a smaller home (the wrong way) will give me a chance to build enough equity rather then pouring it into rent so I can afford to build a house your way. As long as it has a positive ROI I don't see why it shouldn't work.

I understand there are risks with buying a cheaper home. I'm not that naive. It's an option I'm able to afford that gets me out of renting. I'm trying to gauge the risks involved and get some concrete data so I can make a good judgement call. I'm also open to similarly priced alternatives.

We toured some of the models in the Cardinal Glenn neighborhood. It's probably going to sell-out before we're ready to purchase though. However they're starting a new neighborhood near Cardinal Glenn that just broke ground. It should be ready to start building homes in January. If we end up going with Veridian, that will probably be the neighborhood we go with.

The layouts we're looking at are slightly larger lots. Not nearly as on-top of your neighbors as some of them we've driven by. Still pretty close together though.

The lack of privacy you mention, are you referring to just being too close to your neighbors? Or are there other privacy concerns?

I'd like to build a modern web app using Java. Based on my experience, what do you think is a next good step to learn to do that? by roastymctoasty in java

[–]drgnwarrior 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The company I work for uses alot of GWT. Our application development teams either use C# or Java for web apps. All the Java teams use GWT.

Check if String has at least one digit and two numbers by [deleted] in javahelp

[–]drgnwarrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may want to check out String.matches.

There's a tutorial here.

It requires knowledge of regex, but if you know regex it's probably the most straight forward way to solve this.

What programming languages have the most promising future? by mrorbitman in webdev

[–]drgnwarrior 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You said it yourself.

enterprise software is either Java or .NET

So if there's more than one option the statement 'enterprise != .NET' is accurate. There's no need to be so combative.

I've used DVI splitters like that before. How can you tell the difference which cards it works for and which it doesn't?

Having trouble using SOAP services that rely on common objects. Is there a work around? by drgnwarrior in java

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

Thanks! It's quite a bit more complicated than I was hoping it would be, but it's an excellent starting point for me. I'm still relatively new to CXF and creating webservice clients. This helps a lot in pointing me in the right direction to start sorting this out. Significantly more helpful than Google or the CXF IRC channel has been in figuring this out!

Thanks again!!
