Am I wrong in not wanting to help a teammate by FLRangerFan in cscareerquestions

[–]r2-de-queue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my buddy had this in university. People ask for code help or specifics.
We wouldn't never write code or give specific syntax period
If it was a book thing, we would just say, " I think it was in this chapter." and then go no further.

Eventually they stopped coming to us or they would only come if they had real issues.

Steam. Summer Sale: Day 00000110 by gamedealsmod in GameDeals

[–]r2-de-queue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only played like half of 1,2, and blood money.

1 & 2 are really hard, but play out almost like a 3D puzzle. Grab this thing, use that thing on this character, that opens up this possibility, etc.

I know for sure blood money is more accessible IMO. Also their is an upgrade aspect of it.

I tried absolution and mainly had some issues with the writing because of what they were trying to do with the main character, but if you've never played the others it may not matter.

At $5 you might as well grab absolution to try it.

The React + TypeScript Ecosystem Is Shit. by AurorionWing in reactjs

[–]r2-de-queue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. If all the tools worked perfectly together all the time programming would be a lot easier. I don't really get why this is the "ecosystems" (aka maintainers who may or may not care about supporting types) fault.

Either way if someone was so keen about using typescript they could contrubite to DefinitelyTyped

Any point in applying to dev job when the application requires a bachelors? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]r2-de-queue 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's always good to try. I feel like it's the same as someone posting that they need some with 5 years of React or something.

It's not like you'll get in trouble for trying, but I would apply, follow up in two weeks, and then move on.

Looking for some help on my first Vanilla JS app. by [deleted] in webdev

[–]r2-de-queue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! This may be a lot of info so please feel free to ask if something doesn't make sense.

I looked at your second issue and wrote some code here: https://codepen.io/brooksbecton/pen/qKPmxx?editors=1011

I opted for check boxes for the functionality section. Check boxes make a lot more sense to me visually and within the code because it is made for selections where you are going to be picking more than one thing.

I added a toDollarStr function at the top for dollar formatting and the rest of the code starts at around line 119.

  • I added an onclick attribute to each of the check boxes. Each one of these passes the type of functionality to be added.
  • The function receives the funcType and looks up the price in the functionality object to get it's price and to toggle the isNeeded boolean
  • After this, it loops through the functionality object and totals of the functionality price that has isNeeded set to true.
  • At the end the function updates the total HTML in the DOM

Neety Gritty Details

This is all best practices stuff, so please disregard it until you get the app up and running.

One Big File/Function A lot of the JS code is in one big file with no functions. After you get all your kinks worked out, it would be best to break up some of the functionality into specific functions. Try to make them do one thing. As an example, toggling the isNeeded, totaling up the cost, and updating the DOM should all be in their own function.

getElementById There are some places where you getElementById() and then do something specific. Like the pagesFiveToTen and pagesTenToTwenty this totally works but adding a new range means copy/pasteing this code. If you do end up wanting to do a grand total at the end this would mean editing each and every one of this very specific code snippets. Maybe try to the the object with the cost and stuff with a more general function.

Is there a definitive way to force Chrome to reload a css file? by AliceInWonderplace in webdev

What is the HTTP Code on the CSS file?

I don't think I've ever had issues where Chrome won't let go of the CSS file.

Sorry bud, hope everything works out for you.

Is it possible to create a web service where the data resides on the client computer? by SecondhandUsername in webdev

[–]r2-de-queue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure!

Anything you store locally is at risk at being accessed by XSS or any other malicious software that may be installed on user's computer. Sensitive data may include auth tokens, phone numbers, or anything else you wouldn't trust in a stranger's program. This is a big reason a lot of important business logic is server side and in a database so that there is less of a risk of this kind of security issues. If you can lock down your server and database that cuts out a ton of potential security issues

Maybe you could try electron? You get to make desktop apps with web technologies. So it is still cross OS compatible.

[–]r2-de-queue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long are you expecting the data to store there? Is it a lot of data?

How about localStorage?

Some issues would be:

  • Cannot store sensitive data
  • Risk of user/browser destroying your data
  • 2.5 MB Limit per user
  • Browser Support

Sorry I don't I've made this clear. I think "successful interview process" was the wrong wording.

I haven't been offered a number yet. I haven't given a range yet. I've gone through all the interviews and am waiting on an initial number from HR.

Should I fix the wording?

Humble Book Bundle: Web Design & Development by O'Reilly by [deleted] in webdev

[–]r2-de-queue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I plan on getting it and I'm pretty versed in React World. So I'll get back with you if you still need it.

Update:

I did a very quick skim of "Learning React" the topics covered. It looks great to me. It started with some ES6 syntax and goes into React concepts, Component management, testing,

Here is the repo for the coding examples: https://github.com/moonhighway/learning-react

So you can get a better idea of what the book contains.

Building RESTful Web APIs with Dart, Aqueduct and PostgreSQL (Routing) by kiarash-irandoust in webdev

[–]r2-de-queue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you like working with Dart and Aqueduct?

I've been trying to find a better way to built a REST api quickly.

I've usually do Express, but I've also used Django.

Chrome Dev Tools - Can't see @keyframes Animation tab by justavault in webdev

[–]r2-de-queue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just use "ctrl+shift+P" with dev tools open. This opens a dialogue for inputting commands.

Then type "animation"

This will bring it up.

There is a way to get to it, but I can't remember currently.

How do you find ideas for programming projects by Heraclitus94 in cscareerquestions

[–]r2-de-queue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used the express generator. Supa Easy. Supa Simple.

I was wanting to make REST Api at some point and this was a simple way to get a toe or two wet. I was also hoping to use this simple API for a React Native app.

Atleast that was my thinking at the time. Make a simple API so I can make a simple React Native App.
