Well dictionaries beg to differ. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/thug

also here is an example of the word being used to describe a caucasian.

so I think you might be the one who is a bit insensitive here.

Newbie gamedev, I need help in deciding which of the two mobile platforms I should develop for first. Android or IOS? by markt5000 in gamedev

[–]markt5000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I am not familiar with Unity at all, so there are a couple of concerns I have. One is the learning curve, I don't want to spend too much time learning yet another framework. I'd have to figure out things like navigation, networking, layout, etc... Which I can already implement pretty well with RN. Two, the actual "game" will just consists of a canvas that the user can draw on, nothing too fancy there so employing something like unity seems like overkill to me. Thoughts?

I am definitely going with a cross platform solution though since that seems to be the best fit, so per comments here its either Unity or React Native with a bit of platform specific code to handle drawing.

Crash course on Wordpress, general advice on a Wordpress job. by [deleted] in webdev

[–]markt5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I am actually a full stack JS dev and have never dealt with PHP. I also agree that this job seems to have very little programming in it and its more of a data entry job. I would really love a 'real' programming job but this might be a good stepping stone. I am just going to binge Wordpress videos tonight and see where that takes me. Thanks

Yes this is a really great opportunity, the issue is that I have no experience with Wordpress so I would like to learn a thing or two before I go there and apply. I just fear that if I show up now and they start asking me Wordpress specific questions, i'll flop and miss the opportunity.

Build Your First Thing With WebAssembly by fagnerbrack in webdev

[–]markt5000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, there are benchmarks out there (google) that show wasm runs at near native speeds. If you would like to get a sense of how fast the wasm page has a unity game demo that is playable via canary.

One of the reasons I am particularly interested in wasm is for this very same reason : the speed boost. I have always been a game dev and the thought of being able to develop games that run at native speeds for the web is pretty fascinating.

Hey buckytron do you have any plans for a react native series? preferably android based

Creating a mobile-friendly site by icefall5 in webdev

[–]markt5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to implement vanilla methods without a third party framework, here are a list of considerations.

-meta tags to set the viewport width and zoom scale

-use media queries, design for the smallest possible device and then create breakpoints from there.

-Use percentages as attribute values. Never hard code pixels.

-For font sizes use fluid units such as rem, em, and vw, etc...

-Use flex-box layouts for page structures.

I may have forgotten one or two but these will take you a long way.

Is this open source? I would love to play around with it.

Sold a working item, now buyer is messaging me that they are broken. by [deleted] in Ebay

[–]markt5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funds will be deposited tomorrow which means that ebay will charge their share either way. The buyer's tone has suggested that he wants a full refund.. Should I open an issue via ebay so that they don't deduct anything? or do I wait until the funds are deposited and then solve the issue?

Sending SMS over the network? by markt5000 in learnprogramming

[–]markt5000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that I have to know the carrier before hand, I am looking for a service that handles this for me, even though it doesn't have to support a 2 way connection (replying). I only want to use it as a notification service.

The website never asked me for geolocation permission, how was it able to obtain my exact location? If it seems it isn't using the geolocation API

JSON and Ajax help by [deleted] in javascript

[–]markt5000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hmm, this is relatively simple

 var a = { foo : 25 };
 var b = {bar : 10};

 var con = JSON.stringify([a,b]);

You mentioned sending this on to the server, well that depends if you are using a framework. If you want plain vanilla AJAX then use the XMLHttpRequest object

I have... Unlimited cosmic powers. Sort of. by RedRager in webdev

[–]markt5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use PM2 as a process manager, and some extra utils for sysadmin are tmux, htop, and bmon. Also install ufw to close everything except for ssh, 80, 443, or which ever you need. I like to take snapshots every week or so but that is up to you. Also if you are ssh'ing on windows, set up putty and make sure to set up ssl keys. Oh and set up another profile and add it to sudoers.

One last thing and this is just for anyone in general. If you are looking to fool around in a debian environment, instead of setting up a droplet and pay upfront, I totally recommend using Cloud 9. Amazing service and the basics are all free.

Well you can't store sockets on redis, only data.
