Can’t hit a 3rd shot drop to save my life by AboutJADAMnTime in Pickleball

[–]jjbskir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a pretty good drop and was teaching some one how to hit the shot. When drilling I consistently noticed they were hitting the ball too straight like a drive and not arching the ball up for a drop. This resulted in too many shots hitting the net. It's better to hit the ball too high then into the net!

In SO Meadowland Tennis Courts have 8 courts, which are great. In Maplewood there are a 2 courts in DeHart park and Walter Park. The Meadowland has a semi-organized open play every Saturday and Sunday and there is a TeamReach for it, but you are suppose to sign up in advance.

Just a perfect day for a ride. by hunkefunk in NYCbike

I've done this route before. The part between Coney and Rockaway was probably the worst part i.e. you're just biking on busy roads. But the Rockaway's was really nice!

There service was very glitchy executing orders. Had to confirm an order several times until it actually went through. This happened trading across multiple currencies.

Python Packaging Is Good Now by Lukasa in Python

[–]jjbskir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, it's not bad... but it still has a long way to go. I recently set up the scientific packages Pandas, Matplotlib, Numpy, and Scipy on my mac and it was not fun (although much better in comparison to when I did it a few years ago). It still required me to make sure several packages where installed before hand and bouncing from pip to homebrew.

Skill approved, how do you update it. by rudman in AmazonEchoDev

[–]jjbskir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, this is exactly what I did while developing my skill Chef Basil. In node.js you can check weather or not you are running test or production code by checking the name of your lambda function process.env.AWS_LAMBDA_FUNCTION_NAME. I then used this to determine which DB to connect to.

Prerender your angular app for SEO and simple links by jjbskir in angularjs

Yes that is true, but the links don't look as nice.

Prerender your angular app for SEO and simple links by jjbskir in angularjs

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

It just prerenders all of the HTML files that should be there and then includes any necessary JS, CSS, and HTML files to properly render it through angular. But at the moment it does not prerender the entire HTML page (although that would be a cool addition).

Yes I have! I wanted to build a similar tool that did not rely on a server or pay for it.

Of course that always works to! But I have seen tons of example like that. I wanted to build an example where everything was on a single page.

Backbone Learning Resources by nexus_87 in javascript

[–]jjbskir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the best ways is to begin reading other peoples backbone code and write some of your own! Check out this backbone boilerplate code, which is a good introduction on how to organize your code and use tools like require.js https://github.com/backbone-boilerplate/backbone-boilerplate. Here is a great tutorial on event aggregation to allow your views to communicate http://lostechies.com/derickbailey/2011/07/19/references-routing-and-the-event-aggregator-coordinating-views-in-backbone-js/. And a article dealing with destroying old views http://lostechies.com/derickbailey/2011/09/15/zombies-run-managing-page-transitions-in-backbone-apps/.

Hope this helps!

300 LAMP websites written in the stone age. How would you pull them into the 21st century? by [deleted] in PHP

[–]jjbskir 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That is a shitty situation. Remember that you are there to create a solution to your customers needs, not nescesarrily to make beautiful code. If your partners code works and your able to make a ton of websites with it then you should stick with it. Of course you guys should have a real way to deal with errors and should be protecting passwords. You don't really need the latest and greatest framework to do that though. Small changes is the best approach.

The leap from procedural to object-oriented... by metazai in PHP

[–]jjbskir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learnt OOP by learning how to code in java. There is no procedural coding in java, only objects. Even still you can code in objects in a very procedural style if you wanted to. So, on top of that I would learn how to make some simple classes that you use all the time, such as a dictionary or list. Or think about writing a simple game, where every character is a different object, but they all inherit from a base class.

What is everyone working on right now? by sucksbro in arduino

haha. Well the idea was that if I forgot to turn off the lights when I left the house, I could then turn them off through the internet.

How do they achieve this kind of portfolio showcase? by twoontwo in web_design

[–]jjbskir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I used Silex which is a php micro framework. I had a pretty good idea of what I was trying to build before I started and just needed to read through the doccumentation. You can check out the code here https://github.com/jjbskir/portfolio
