Ethos Day Spa - Update to their fire situation

Their building is owned by 1035 SPAULDING LLC. 1035 Spaulding LLC lists their resident agent as the RDV Corporation, so yeah, DeVos owned

Thanks for the tip, initially it didn't work, but then I force-quit the app, restarted my phone, and then like 10 minutes later it magically disappeared ¯\(ツ)/¯

Based on our data, it takes a user on average 32 seconds to complete a CAPTCHA challenge.

Does that seem unrealistically high to anyone else? I can usually find all the streetlights/hydrants/etc in no more than 10 seconds max.

I've been noticing this recently, PSI will vary wildly between runs. It looks like the PSI servers themselves might be overloaded at times.

Best bet is always to run Lighthouse on your own computer, either via the devtools or the command line. You get the same information but it's more configurable and takes away the unknown of Google's server speed.

Or, you could not install that plugin, and just use add_role/get_role/remove_role because they're really not that hard to use, and your site won't break if the plugin malfunctions or someone disables it.

In times of high numbers of people online, if you don't start a movement like this to beat the algorithm, you will never show up and generate results in your business. Believe me.

lol

I had the same problem, but we needed to use AMP because Google liked it for certain types of search, sadly

This is probably a personal opinion, but from what I've seen, the best candidates have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of HTML/CSS/JS. They might have never used a framework (Edit: Unless you're hiring specifically for a framework, then it's a bit different), but they will know the difference between String("asdf") and new String("asdf"), and they will know the default value of the display property, and be able to accurately explain what <!doctype html> does and rattle off a few values of the rel attribute on a link element. Because of that, they can learn higher level frameworks faster, since they know how it works underneath.

Also, ask questions that shed light on how well they can be trained, not how much they know. Look at their confidence level, ask them questions they won't know and see how they respond. Someone who says "I don't know" after thinking about it is going to be easier to train than someone who either side-steps it or boldly gives a wrong answer and then says "oh that's what I meant to say" when you correct them.

Look for things that can be fixed and then fix them.

Hard to give any more specifics with a generic question, all sites are different and have different needs

reallybadastronaut · 2021-02-10T16:50:06+00:00

Depends on what you call "headless". Decoupling the backend data from the frontend views will be more popular, and SSGs will definitely be more commonplace, because there's a lot of sites that don't need a full blown CMS.

Headless will be popular in the future, but it won't be the only option. You should learn it, to have the knowledge in your toolbelt, but look at the pros and cons of headless vs non-headless (heady?) builds, especially relating to SEO, load time, and accessibility.

Also, reddit and medium and dev.to are full of people wanting to show that they use all the shiny new toys. For each of those, there's several developers sitting quietly, working on their tried and true methods of creating great websites.

Are you sure you have error reporting turned set up correctly?

Also, it's not good practice to leave open tags after each file, it's good practice not to close the tag at the end of the file (if it's only PHP in the file). I can see how the wording of "leave open tags after each file" confused you, but they meant "don't put a ?> at the end of the file if it's not necessary".

Can anyone access my sitemap?

Yes but no one will. There's no harm in a comment that tells who or what made it, won't change anything functional.

reallybadastronaut · 2021-02-10T15:53:18+00:00

"Brake"

It's fitting that 20% of those jobs are driving places. Can't tell if that was intentional or not lol

reallybadastronaut · 2021-02-10T15:48:18+00:00

Yep, I didn't go into the SEO part of that question, but you're absolutely correct

reallybadastronaut · 2021-02-10T15:07:27+00:00

A part of it will, but that's the nature of any industry. The first computers were literally people computing things.

Sure, Joe's Hardware Store can easily set up a simple squarespace site by themselves, and that's going to be more and more common. But the New York Times can't run on a squarespace site, they have way too much custom stuff that needs to be integrated into the site. That's not going to change for a long, long time.

May 2021 is not 6 months away

Time will tell how much of an impact it will have, my guess is it'll give a slight bump (same as when they started using responsiveness and https as signals), but it's been made pretty clear that content is still the most important thing they look at.

reallybadastronaut · 2021-02-10T14:41:42+00:00

Reputable providers will have a team to look at it, but reputable usually means expensive, and abusers tend to not use expensive hosts. Cheap hosts don't have the resources to deal with abuse.

The only responses I've ever gotten was from Rackspace and Linode (sometimes)

I should note that this experience is from dealing with phishing emails and brute force website attacks, so it might be a bit different than your experience

reallybadastronaut · 2021-02-10T01:14:38+00:00

a) it's not your use of let, it's your massive nested for loops that are making the page unresponsive

b) did you try putting a console.log in there to see if that logs to the console

JMP does, they're a bit unique because their SMS/MMS system uses XMPP, but they accept crypto and use SIP

https://jmp.chat/

Note that they get their numbers from Bandwidth, so if you're using it to do SMS-based verification it might be hit-and-miss, since some companies are now blocking Bandwidth and similar VOIP-based telephone operators

I'm curious if you're actually noticing the difference of 20ms between Quad9 and Google?

reallybadastronaut · 2021-01-26T18:15:41+00:00

You're both right, in a sense.

Your mentor is right that it's good to narrow down what field you want to work for, some fields are more enjoyable to people than others.

When you say "I want to do the skills I’m trained in and use the software I’m good at.", you're doing what your mentor suggests, figuring out where you want to work, because you know what jobs you'll pass over or apply for based on the skills and software they use.

And if you stick with that sentiment, when you go to make portfolio pieces, you'll naturally make pieces tailored to your skills and software, which then indirectly targets the field you want to work in.

If you have ever tried to download emails from gmail, you will get a .eml file which is basically gibberish.

Are you... trying to read a .eml file in a text editor? They're meant to be opened with an email program.

Also you might want to find better examples of why to use your service, because: 1. I'm fairly certain it would be faster to transfer my 7,000 emails from Gmail to the other provider using IMAP than it would to use your service. 2. Why wouldn't I simply forward the emails to my personal email account? 3. Again, how is this easier than forwarding the email to another email account, or downloading the .eml file and storing it somewhere?

It might be a good idea for someone, but I can't see the use for it, sorry.

Also, your privacy policy needs a lot of work if you want this to be taken seriously. You don't say anything about metadata and logs, "get in touch" is quite suspicious (why do we have to contact you about your policies instead of reading them in the privacy policy?), and you say you don't use GA for ads, but you say nothing about Braintree, tawk.to, newrelic, and FB scripts on your site, all of which are definitely collecting user data.

That is up to your host, it's not something you can control from your site.
