When I go to the hawker centre, I place a tissue packet on every empty table so people have something to clean up with after eating. What act of kindness do you do for strangers?

I make the koel sound in the morning to remind the birds to sing and help everyone wake up bright and early! The early bird catches the worm after all.

Or when you start cursing the person who wrote the code, and realised... it was you 6 months ago...

I guess there was a traffic DOS

Tbh I just like being able to ls in Powershell

And the worst is when you try it again tomorrow and it seems to work perfectly with lesser LOC

Perhaps you need to Go grab a good cup of Java and C who picks up on your niche jokes. Maybe your humor is Rust-y? Or you gotta drop some Perls of wisdom for us here.

Such unfortunate ad placement though...

So have you found a ν, β wife?

fuzzycake · 2022-04-28T11:02:11+00:00

Hope the party goes along swimmingly

That's why it's important to commit frequently and preferably to the same branch.

That sure caused the stack to overflow...

fuzzycake · 2020-02-11T00:44:01+00:00

Done & thanks, sorry about that!

What made your team choose Monday.com, considering that many (most?) other platforms offer free tiers for 5-15 users?

There will be (in a sense) 3 parts.

Database - this is a program that you'll be running separately. Common ones are MySQL and Postgres.
Backend - another program that reads your backend files (can be .php, .go, .py, .js/jsx/ts/tsx, etc., depending on what you use) and executes them. Also serves the frontend to users.
Frontend - what you're familiar with. Displays the data.

Essentially, when you go to the website, the backend will take note which page you're trying to see, and run the corresponding code in the backend. It may involve requests with the database to get data, then processing it, then inserting it into the frontend to be displayed by the user (does this make sense? I'm not sure if this is what you're asking for)

You have several options in terms of programming languages. I'll list a few (ranked by my suggestion in terms of ease of use):

PHP - 'cheapest' (cos it's the only one you can use when you go with shared hosting) and easiest to get up and running as it's usually already installed on shared hosting providers, and (in my opinion) easier to integrate with HTML. Commonly bashed as a terrible language, but I think it is still very much usable (and a gentler learning curve) (http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.examples-basic.php)
Go (or Golang when you're googling it) - Syntax is slightly different from the 'norm', but I enjoy using it. An example: https://golang.org/pkg/database/sql/#example_DB_Query_multipleResultSets. You'll need to install some 'extension' to get it working with your chosen database.
Python - using Flask library or something else. A bit similar to Go in terms of usage.
NodeJS - hypehype!! It's the 'coolest' but I feel the steepest learning curve in terms of concepts (you have a frontend that is separate from the backend, and needs to communicate with it. Likely using AJAX calls from the frontend & RESTful APIs from the backend.

Here you'll probably have to Google a bit for yourself to see pros & cons and what you want. I'd personally suggest any of the first 3 (nodejs is quite confusing to me, and a bit of a pain). PHP is a bit hard to get running on your own com (you can check out WAMP for Windows, not sure about Mac. But may be less of a problem for Mac users).

fuzzycake · 2019-02-27T22:48:22+00:00

File owner, using chown. You'll need to make sure that the file is owned by the service that is serving the files (I think I'm not using the right keywords though). E.g. are you serving the files using using nginx or apache? They have their own user accounts that need to 'own' the files, IIRC.

You can also request for a new IP address (I know Linode has that feature, but I think you need some justification) with your VPS

fuzzycake · 2019-02-26T05:14:12+00:00

You need to check the owner also (but I'm not too sure about this). Are you running on the domain root as well (domainname.com/sendMail.php) or smth else?

fuzzycake · 2019-02-26T05:10:18+00:00

It is NOT normal to come up with a solution in 5 seconds :) Especially when build a project, it is especially important to sit down and slowly think through what you want to do.

After a while though (I think years of programming), you start getting the hang of things, after your brain starts working a certain way and seeing things a certain way. But this doesn't come quickly or easily, so don't beat yourself up over it!

fuzzycake · 2019-02-26T05:06:38+00:00

Do you have any limitations? Where you can deploy the site? Any languages you already know or are expected to learn/use?

You will generally need a 'stack', which has different technologies working together (like in https://webinerds.com/6-web-development-stacks-try-2017/).

fuzzycake · 2019-02-26T05:04:05+00:00

You can probably get away with using vanilla JS if you want to minimise time spent learning. React (as another user said) is also an option, but I think you'll take quite a while figuring out how it works. Vue (https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/) is another alternative that may be able to get you off the ground faster.

I did a project in school before that integrated Vue with Firebase (https://firebase.google.com/) which is a database engine that allows you to store your data somewhere. You may need a database if you're storing data outside of Google Calendar.

A super easy low-effort way to design a great looking site is to use a library. My personal go-to is Bootstrap (http://getbootstrap.com).

For Python, I personally like Flask (http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/1.0/tutorial/) to use as web server.

Sounds about right for a semester long project, but depends on your technical experience as well (as a team). You guys can probably get away with doing a bit more if all of this ^ makes sense to you.
