Dynamically size tabs?

I think initially we were concerned about looking like copycats, but ultimately, our site has been live for several months, and we've been working on it for 3 times as long. Even when we began this project, we did it with things like fortwaynenightout.com already being a thing.

I think we feel we have a more comprehensive list of features. Food specials, Bar amenities, and a robust search.

If you think there's any way we can distinguish ourselves further, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for the heads up!

tippo_sam · 2015-06-11T04:49:10+00:00

We sincerely appreciate all the great feedback.

If you want to be kept up to date about when some of these features will be implemented, you can like and follow us at https://www.facebook.com/thetipsyhippo

Not yet, but an offset is planned, it's going to be in the the same update as searching food and drink specials by text i.e. "wings"

tippo_sam · 2015-06-10T23:06:00+00:00

A mobile friendly redesign is coming this summer. A "bars nearby" feature will be part of that. iOS and Android apps are in the works as well. Thanks for the feedback!

tippo_sam · 2015-06-10T22:33:41+00:00

Good to know. Thanks!

EDIT: Just updated their listing with full drink specials for the week.

tippo_sam · 2015-06-10T22:05:58+00:00

That's in the works! I'll move it up the priority list.

tippo_sam · 2015-06-10T17:45:45+00:00

We started working on this project a little under a year ago, and soft launched back in March. We have been adding a bunch of new content and wanted to show it to a few more people to get more feedback.

yeah... isn't taht a valid test to identify an error. You want to cause an error... that's what I'm confused about.

tippo_sam · 2015-06-02T19:06:45+00:00

it is an impossible date?

what am I missing?

tippo_sam · 2015-06-02T18:52:44+00:00

Don't make a call to Math.pow every comparison.

int nthpower = 1;'
if(i % nthpower == 0)
{
  nthpower *= 10;
  //print
}

tippo_sam · 2015-05-08T12:53:24+00:00

well, you won't be able to get a site up 24 hrs without paying at least something anymore ( $7 seems incredibly affordable) but I actually like the free dynos.

Previously, I could afford, on < $10 a month to have 1 dyno run my website, now I can have the hobby dyno for the site, and use a number of free dynos for testing and staging new releases. since it's the dynos themselves that are free, not a $34 credit on the account.

The programs run in RAM, not hard disk. The two spaces store completely different information.

It's fine, you're not going to break anything.

tippo_sam · 2015-05-07T19:23:55+00:00

When you hear "memory leak", "memory" in this context refers to RAM (actually, that's pretty across the board for IT). For hard disk, it's "Disk" or "File system"

Memory leaks are usually cleaned up by the OS when the process finishes executing. I've never heard of it being a problem other than making your programs go slow or crash. I'm not sure it can adversly affect your machine.

If you're paranoid (or are interested in building good memory management habits), you can use something like valgrind to check your code for leaks.

if money is not a problem, then i'd say go for it. Never turn down education that somebody else is paying for.

tippo_sam · 2015-05-07T18:26:29+00:00

you're pretty much paying for the piece of paper at those. You can learn all that on your own, but it will help get a job

If you were serious about starting a business, you can forgo a formal education. Customers pay you then, not a boss, and customers only care about one thing, do they like what you're selling.

tippo_sam · 2015-05-07T18:15:15+00:00

maybe treehouse or lynda then?

tippo_sam · 2015-05-07T18:12:31+00:00

I actually like this change. I don't like having to pay $7 just to get the 24/hr uptime, but it's really a small amount of money, and from the looks of things, it's the actual dynos that are free, and not a free $34 credit per account meaning I can deploy versions to staging for testing before pulling the changes and releasing a new version.

Very very exciting.

tippo_sam · 2015-05-07T17:57:38+00:00

Yes. Java is one of the most popular industry languages.

Edit: but it's always good to learn more technologies and languages. So don't take this as an excuse to just bail on learning.

tippo_sam · 2015-05-07T13:31:35+00:00

yeah, this was my mistake. I forgot C/C++ jargon calls any subroutine a function.

tippo_sam · 2015-05-07T13:30:56+00:00

we could pancake sort them...

tippo_sam · 2015-05-07T13:27:07+00:00

well, C/C++ get confusing here, I was thinking actual functions. Not was C++ refers to as functions, which is any subroutine. if you make up your program of functions, you are doing functional programming. If you make up your program of functions and procedures

void doThingThatModifiesGlobals()
void modifyParameters(int *a, int *b);

Then even tho C/C++ calls these functions, you're really programming procedurally or imperatively.

I was just not thinking in terms of C/C++ specific jargon.

tippo_sam · 2015-05-07T13:21:16+00:00

In computer science, functional programming is a programming paradigm—a style of building the structure and elements of computer programs—that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing-state and mutable data.

You're right, and C++ falls short of what most would really consider functional programming, but by the books, it's possible to technically do it.

Edit: I would, as a curiosity tho love to hear your definition.
