I want to develop a website for a specific niche and then I want to sell it. Since I'm sure that the source code will be leaked after I sell it to some customers, I was thinking to a way to prevent this situation. My first idea is to use a compiled language and implement a licensing system. However, I only know django and laravel as web framework. Is there any framework written in a language that can be compiled and which supports as many features as possible like django and laravel? Is there any other viable solution? I read some posts online of people saying that to encourage customers to buy a legit copy you can provide them continuos updates. In my scenario, this won't work since the product will be "complete" from the first release. ​ Thanks for your suggestions 🙂 submitted by /u/benzflow [link] [comments]

Hey guys Im working on my bachelors thesis about cultural/lingual diversity within teams in IT. I would love if you could take some time to answer this quick survey. It takes 5mins max. Thank you!! Link to survey In this age more people are moving to work abroad, work remotely from their home, or are working as they travel. Flexibility for working hours, and working location is loosening up. In many companies this has led to a diverse workforce, with a spread of multiple cultures, with people from all over the world. With this in mind, we want to look into the efficiency of these teams.

So I was testing a website responsivenes in chrome console in tablet res. ... there was everything ok and then I tested the website on my tablet with same resolution and on the same browser. Some elements were moved to next row and they’re supposed to be in the same row. I tried some websites that test responsiveness but like on browser console everything looks fine there. Why is this happening? submitted by /u/ShAlex0 [link] [comments]

I'm using the base62 encoding on an UUID to generate a unique short url string. However, the uuid is 32 characters long ignoring the 4 dashes and encoding it with base 62 gives an unique-id that is like 16 characters long. Example: Hex UUID: 0x429f2b1e2ec14aea9184eb6daf32c436 Decimal: 88555497457239304571457079315560318006 base62 encoding: 4F16lpjpDMijuLhKyueI12 As shown above, the the result of base62 encoding results in too many characters that is not suitable for short url string. So, in order to get the result to around 7-8 characters, is it scalable if I consider just the 12 characters from the UUID and use them for base62 encoding? Example: Hex UUID : bbe78d9754bd482f959c478985922658 trimmedId : bbe78d9754bd Decimal: 206603187344573 base62 encoding: 7mjyprXG This result is short enough to be considered as short url string, but I'm concerned about its scalability. So, do you see any loopholes to this approach? I find that it limits the scalability factor. OR: I keep the hex 32 characters long and perform the division operation on the decimal equivalent of UUID with a highly scaled divisor as shown below: while(hex > 0) { let rem = hex % BigInt(62); b62 = b62 + b62CharArr[rem]; console.log(b62); hex = hex / BigInt(79360); // 62x1280 } return b62; Do you see any loopholes to this approach? submitted by /u/hitherto_insignia [link] [comments]

I prefer not to read using the default web interface on desktop on Amazon kindle books and build my own. However, it looks they don't allow people to do that. Do you guys know if this is possible or how do I build my own reader interface for most online books? I don't want to run my own bookstore. Just build a convenient to use reading interface. submitted by /u/mono1s2 [link] [comments]

I have 3 collections (Users, List and Subscribed Classes)... Here are my collections in my database Users: (ID, Email, Salt, Hash) List(Id, List Name, Class associated w list item, UID which is grabbed from Users unique ID generated by mongoose) Subbed Classes (Classes, UID also grabbed from users collection unique ID) I am trying to do something similar to this : if the User which is tracked by UID subscribes to classes print list items with that class How do I go about getting the users subscribed classes and comparing that against the classes of the todo list... this is in mongodb submitted by /u/al3x9a [link] [comments]

Hey all, I have a very odd use case I’m trying to understand. I want to load a script with script src or similar, but the endpoint returns 400 status code (but still application/javascript content type). It seems that browsers block any attempt to load this script if the status code isn’t a successful one (in 200s). Is there any way around this, or is this to be expected in all browsers? submitted by /u/sitdownson [link] [comments]

I'm a senior graduating in a little over a month and my job search has not been going so well. I know impostor syndrome is pretty prevalent in software engineering, but I've been losing confidence that I even have the skills/knowledge necessary for the positions. So my question is, fresh out of college what should I know as a full stack developer? Currently, I think I have a pretty solid understanding of API development, I've developed a couple with Node.js/Express and I'm going to be developing one with Python for a final project. I'm decently confident in front end development with React. I've used Jest for unit testing. I have some experience with both MongoDB and SQL. What else should I know and where should my skill level be with everything? Edit: I don't necessarily mean specific technologies, but what areas should I have knowledge in and what should I be able to do? submitted by /u/WilyBanana [link] [comments]

Hi to all. I have made a PWA (intended to run on a smartphone/tablet, call It A) and a NodeJS application (intended to run on a PC, call It B). They communicate LOCALLY using WebRTC and Socket.io. I use the function navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia() to get the screen from device B and stream it to device A. The problem is that this function require a HTTPS communication. I've tried to make some self-signed certificates with OpenSSL but they have been rejected by A (in particular by websocket) with error net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID. I've tried to set rejectUnauthorized: false but nothing changes, so I think I need a certificate signed by a valid authority (e.g. Let's Encrypt). How can I obtain it if A connects to B using its local IP and all the communication happens locally? I've thought about using a dynamic DNS and hardcoding it to the local IP of B but it could be different for different users using my apps. I can't set a fixed local IP for B server because it could be already assigned in user's local network. submitted by /u/leobel96 [link] [comments]

So, I use Google Bookmarks a lot (not to confuse with Google Chrome Bookmarks). It's my main and only bookmark service. I use an extension for Google Chrome and Firefox that allows me to search and manage my bookmarks using the service. Now I'm using Epiphany browser that does not support extensions. Does anyone know a web client for Google Bookmarks that allows me to search bookmarks by title, description, tag, and manage the entries? The official web interface is way too poor. If no one knows, I'll have to build my own. submitted by /u/adrianoviana87 [link] [comments]

I'm trying to build a web app that will let someone view their Tesla supercharging fees in a more useful way than what Tesla offers. The app would have to take the user's Tesla login credentials, log in to the Tesla site and scrape their charge history. And of course do this all securely and protect the user's information. Could anyone give me some tips on where to start? I'm familiar with API's and front end but I've never built an app of this complexity before. submitted by /u/delaware [link] [comments]

I am working with some JavaScript code that involves calling an AWS Lambda backend function. I don't want this function to be called when a certain variable, unauthorized, is true. The function is below. lambda.invoke(params, (err, data) => { if (err) { return buildErrorResponse(err, lambdaCallback); } else if (data.FunctionError) { return buildErrorResponse(JSON.parse(data.Payload).errorType, lambdaCallback); .... The problem is I don't understand exactly how lambda.invoke works. I think that the correct way to handle my use case would be to check unauthorized in the lambda.invoke function. But I'm not sure how to do that because I don't understand how to build an error response, what lambdaCallback is, etc. So I think instead as a workaround I want to do the check outside of the function. If unauthorized is true, don't call lambda at all. Is this workaround fine from a best practices perspective? submitted by /u/furthacharm [link] [comments]

I didn’t realize this until it was far too late, but one of the biggest mistakes that’s made on a design systems team is a common mismanagement issue: there are too many people in a meeting and they have too many dang opinions. Is there a conversation about the color of your buttons that’s taking place? Great! Everyone needs a consistent set of colors so that users know what to click and so that designers don’t have to choose from … Read article “How to build a bad design system” The post How to build a bad design system appeared first on CSS-Tricks.

Going with that title instead of the classic developer clickbait version Max used. 😉 We should ban margin from our components. Don’t use margin?! This thing I’ve been doing my entire career and don’t have any particular problems with?! Well, that’s not exactly Max’s point. The point is that any particular component doesn’t necessarily know what context it is in, so it also doesn’t know what kind of spacing is necessary around it. His solution?

I've been wanting to learn more about web development for a while now. I'm not new to programming (have done internships and go to a good CS program) but I've never touched any web development at all. I'm looking at all of Colt's courses ( https://www.udemy.com/user/coltsteele/ ) I'm kind confused which ones I should pick considering there's a sale going on right now. Do you guys know how much overlap there is in the regular web dev bootcamp (the super popular one) compared with his Node, JS, SQL courses? Would I be better served putting in my money and buying everything while it's still on sale? submitted by /u/pouyank [link] [comments]

As a software engine, I am not a designer by nature. When working on projects myself, I usually get designs/inspiration from Dribble that way I can just focus on the development since that's the purpose of the project. But lots of times, not even 1/4 of the way in, I get tired of the design - maybe it gets stale, or it doesn't look as good on screen. Maybe the Typography that I had to settle with (since the designs original typography isn't available for free) is a poor match so i scrap it and go looking for new design... Most notably I do this with my portfolio... I've had 3-4 different portfolios because of this problem. Am i alone? submitted by /u/ALifeInTechnicolor [link] [comments]

I lean developer right now but I'm wondering what it would be like in terms of workload, workflow, and overall bandwidth if I were to move towards the center where I am responsible for designing and developing apps. In my mind this would involve design tasks like wireframing, prototyping, color design, etc.. all the way to the live HTML/CSS/JS source code. Development is my # 1 for sure, but I've always thought web/app design is both interesting and loosely coupled with design anyways, so why not master in both? Does anyone here do both now and could you speak to how you like it? Is it realistic from a long-term point of view to study and pursue both professionally? Any anecdotes & opinions welcome! submitted by /u/IamZeebo [link] [comments]
