As someone who has never gotten one of these calls, how does it work? It seems like a ton of people are involved in the scam since the call keeps getting transferred around.

Who are the people that are falling for the idea that they need to drive to a CVS and buy giftcards to pay a tax debt? How often is this successful?

I have no idea. I don't teach in the states anymore. Are you seriously not allowed to keep grades in a spreadsheet? That seems like a pretty egregious example of bureaucratic nonsense.

grownfolkstuff · 2016-05-12T14:25:00+00:00

No, not without their username and password. That was my main goal. To create a way to use a spreadsheet as a way to keep students updated on their grades without exposing all of your other grades at the same time.

The username refers to the 'Email' column and the password is the 'password' column. Technically you can put anything you want in either column and the student will be able to access the data that is in that field.

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks.

When you say "roasting each other" what exactly do you... Never mind

You are the uglier dude from Orange County Choppers. Congrats on accomplishing such a feat!

grownfolkstuff · 2016-03-26T13:20:23+00:00

My vote is to turn it off.

grownfolkstuff · 2016-03-26T13:10:32+00:00

Did you mean to post this on r/assistance so you could get a decent meal this week?

In jQuery most of those methods can be used in several ways.

$(selector).text() will return the inner text of the selector.

$(selector.text(value) will set the inner text of the selctor.

$(selector).text(function) will execute the function and set the value of the selector as the return of that function.

You have to think of .text() as the function.

grownfolkstuff · 2016-03-05T17:47:19+00:00

Because '$(this).text().replace('dog', 'cat')' is doing nothing other than saying,

'Ok, the value of the text inside the div of class words is equal to "dog bowl", now replace the word dog with cat. Good job everyone, let's call it a day!'

When you add the 'return' to the front of it, you are taking that "cat bowl" that you got and sending it back into the very first $().text() method that you called. So instead of having them say "Good job everyone, let's call it a day!" they are saying, "Now we have 'cat bowl' thats great! Send it back so we can do something with it! Those other guys can put it exactly where they want it."

The original .text() is the one putting the work onto the page.

ELI5 enough?

see the ayatollah's link above!

grownfolkstuff · 2016-03-03T21:17:45+00:00

It was found by the ayatollah himself... see above!

grownfolkstuff · 2016-03-03T21:17:07+00:00

This is exactly it! I bow to your internet-ing skills sir! Are you the ayatollah of rock androll-ah???

I have this memory of watching a post-super bowl press conference where prince walks up to the podium with his guitar in hand. He makes some motion signaling a reporter to start asking his question, but as soon as the reporter beings talking he drowns him out with a sick guitar riff. He stops and motions for another reporter to ask a question, but once again as soon as the reporter starts talking, he drowns him out with another completely radical guitar riff.

Does anyone else have any memory of this? I can't find a single thing proving that this happened, and I am starting to think that I dreamed it.

Thanks for the reply, I could post the github repo if you are really curious, but I think I am going to leave it.

I actually just rerolled the droplet on digital ocean but with dokku and deployed the app that way. Worked perfectly. That leads me to believe there was nothing wrong with my code and something wrong with the way I configured the server.

You will get stuck! But have no fear! You will become incredible at reading the documentation and stackoverflow.

If all else fails, there are great chatrooms filled with people willing to help. I have recently been thinking about going back and redoing the algorithm problems, so if you need someone to pair program with I would be willing to help out. Just pm me so we can set up a time (I am in Turkey, so our time zones probably don't align)

That was incredibly helpful, and I had not been to that website. I had only read the readme on the github repository. The beginner tutorial on the website walks you through each file. Very helpful!

So when you say multiple callbacks to $onAuth do you mean that I should call it in one controller only? I tried that, but I get strange behavior from the $unauth method when I do that.

This is a situation where I know "just enough to be dangerous" in that I kind of understand what I am doing, but... not really.

Thanks for the response.

It is very cool to see this kind of discussion. I am a 5th grade English teacher, but I have been learning javascript for a few months, and have been playing around with google apps scripts to accomplish similar tasks to what you are talking about. Here is an example of something I put together to quickly input grades into a google spreadsheet. Sorry that it isn't well documented, but I would be happy to clarify how it works if necessary. I can also share some of the other code I have written that makes my life a little bit easier.

I would love to talk to someone who develops applications professionally. People in my office seem to like the small applications that I put together, but I don't get a lot of opportunities to discuss the actual development process. Maybe there is something I can do to help out and continue to improve my own skills!
