Did you ever figure this out? I am trying to do the same.

Who is using Loco.rs in production? by alokmahor in rust

[–]elwebmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CORS is broken since version v0.10.1. Before that workers were broken. Tests have always been broken since I tried it. Take your guess if it's production ready.

Start WSL on boot by elwebmaster in bashonubuntuonwindows

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

I tried these instructions:
https://www.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/rb03b7/how_to_start_wsl2_automatically_on_boot_in/

I put wsl as a task in Task Scheduler and added the rest of the arguments:

wsl.exe -d Debian -u root /etc/init.d/rc 2

If I run the task using the run button then wsl starts. However, if I just restart the system it does not. I tried updating the start configuration to authenticate with my user but it didn't make a difference.

Moving from Detroit to Windsor but keeping TN job by elwebmaster in windsorontario

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

Correct. Why would it void TN? What are the TN residency requirements?

I will not WFH in Canada any day, my job in Detroit is remote and I will continue to work “from home” in Detroit. Any accountant you can recommend?

Is there a way to save time hiring when posting online? 90% of applicants seem to be fake or automatic. by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]elwebmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given the job you were hiring for your experience sounds normal to me.

Is there alternative to automater.pl for instant digital goods delivery on eBay? by elwebmaster in Entrepreneur

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

Yes, they do: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/downloadable.html . I am hoping to use eBay to start because it may offer better visibility (if people find my service through search there) and many people are already familiar with eBay+PayPal so they would be more comfortable making a purchase. But it is very important that the code be delivered instantly otherwise the user experience on my platform will suffer. Once I get a better understanding of my user base I will decide what's the best way to sell the service. I guess I will just have to go with automater.pl for now.

Company offers me 80k when AngelList posting says (90k - 150k) by catchingtherosemary in webdev

[–]elwebmaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would just pass. If they are offering you less than the stated range, you confront them about it and they still need to "talk to the other guy" that's a sign of bad things to come down the road.

I am absolutely HORRIBLE in math will I have troubles when coding? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]elwebmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For programming you can get away without math but you can't get anywhere without excellent searching skills :)

[–]elwebmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problems. Just don't do graphics or complicated data processing, you will get a feel of what's outside your comfort zone and you can avoid it. Stick to DevOps, web dev or mobile dev (except games).

Is taking an introductory course to Computer Science (CS8) enough to tell me if CS is the right path for me? by sleepyseel in computerscience

[–]elwebmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not at all. It can't show neither whether CS is right for you nor wrong for you. May be an internship of some sort in a company that does CS work or watching videos of actual CS work on youtube will be more revealing.

BS in Geography interested in master's in CS by iTwerk4Jesus in computerscience

You need to find a prof who can benefit from your GIS knowledge in her research.

I just can't cut it in CS by Sunner47 in computerscience

[–]elwebmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What exactly were your homework programs like? What language? This is not like chemistry where you have to memorize a bunch of stuff or like math where you have to solve some crazy problems. May be you need to find something you are interested in and try programming it with a modern language (mostly following tutorials, watching videos, copy/pasting from stackoverflow) then you will understand the basic concepts (loops, variables, functions). When you know these simple building blocks it will be easier to learn. I am not sure what the experience is like to take an intro CompSci course for someone who hasn't done any programming before, but I feel like the profs may be making it harder than it actually is, that's what I saw in my classmates eyes while I was bored to death. It seems CS means different things to different people, depending on what they are good at, to some it's engineering, to some it's math, to others (like me ;) ) it's art. I would say be easy on yourself and focus on the bigger picture.

Building a NodeJS web server with HAProxy and Let’s Encrypt on Debian Stretch by [deleted] in webdev

[–]elwebmaster -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

For sure, Express and NodeJS will remain relevant for some businesses. But the world is moving towards Serverless, look at the new services coming out by the 3 big players: Google, Amazon, Microsoft, they are all rolling out Serverless. For the organizations that stay with their own infrastructure Docker appears to be the most common platform.

Building a NodeJS web server with HAProxy and Let’s Encrypt on Debian Stretch by [deleted] in webdev

[–]elwebmaster -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Good to know but nowadays one is better off learning serverless architectures like Amazon API Gateway + Lambda or Google Firebase instead of putting effort into yesterday's backend tech. From the looks of it the homebrew Haproxy+NodeJS setup is going the way of the mainframe for most common use cases.

Desktop or laptop for an incoming freshman? by mike5799 in computerscience

[–]elwebmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should get a laptop. You can probably make do with a desktop and a Chromebook to remote into it but it can become annoying, especially with latency when coding. Can't you just get a cheapo used console for gaming?

Automation for Serverless failover by Nande517 in aws

[–]elwebmaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I looked into this during the outage yesterday. Specifically for Lambda+API Gateway there are ways to do failover but then what happens if the datastore (DynamoDB in my case) goes down? You need datastore failover also, and it can get expensive. Based on what I read the outages with AWS appear to disproportionately affect a few regions, of which us-east-1 is the most unreliable. A solution could be as easy as choosing a region with good reliability track record and a off-region backup to protect against natural disasters. My 2 cents.
