Correct me if im wrong

true pumice
#

Nope

#

Just as long as you can deploy it in a secure way

#

Make sure to use GitHub secrets (which is on the repo settings) to store credentials etc.

hollow sorrel
#

Ohhh, alright alright. I'll look into that while also looking at other CI/CD tools

#

Thanks @true pumice

Hello, Im looking for a mate for studying together to get the OCP Java 8!!

timber fable
#

I removed the first "s.recv(1024)" and it crashed it like expected, could anybody explain what was happening?

brazen eagle
#

that's CI, CD is when you auto deploy the thing as well. You best have some solid testing for that though

#

TBH I prefer gitlab's CI/CD tooling to Github Actions

#

but they're fairly similar

magic falcon
#

My preference for CI/CD is something more along the lines of a webhook to a tool that runs the pipeline externally

#

it's a bit more complex to set up, but i think it's more reliable and more flexible

brazen eagle
#

you can configure external runners with gitlab πŸ™‚

magic falcon
#

that's also true

brazen eagle
#

but you can probably also use a push hook to trigger a build

magic falcon
#

i also don't trust the VM/container infra that git forges are starting to provide

brazen eagle
#

gotta be a little bit insane though

#

on-prem is usually possible

#

but use whatever works for you, eh?

#

still trying to find a forge that'll work with a THM free box

magic falcon
#

yeah, good luck with taht

some days I think powerpoint is better for slides

#

and then I try writing code blocks and remember why not

clear lodge
#

oh is this slidev?

brazen eagle
#

yes

clear lodge
#

because I tried it for a bit when I saw you star some unicorn theme on github hahahh

brazen eagle
#

haha

clear lodge
#

I want to tranfer my Prezi to slidev

brazen eagle
#

I'm being stalked on github now

clear lodge
#

but haven't really gotten around to it yet

#

I suppose so haha

brazen eagle
clear lodge
#

I really like this slidev concept. I haaaate dealing with annoying UIs like prezi etc

clear lodge
brazen eagle
#

for prezi-like slideshows, there's impress.js

#

which is pretty cool, but you need good design sense

clear lodge
#

I'll check it out one time, thx

brazen eagle
clear lodge
#

hell I even prefer to just set up a static html page from scratch rather than having to use finnicky UIs

brazen eagle
#

impress is basically that tbh

clear lodge
#

oh my

#

yeah

#

that looks awesome

brazen eagle
#

it's pretty cool

clear lodge
#

I am impress

brazen eagle
#

you can view source to get more comments πŸ™‚

clear lodge
#

" More importantly, you need to be a designer. There are no default styles or layouts for impress.js presentations.'

brazen eagle
#

yeah

clear lodge
#

excellent because I am just creating a style lib to standardize my typical style whaha

#

I'll try to integrate them for personal use

brazen eagle
#

^_^

#

I made a slidev theme for myself

clear lodge
#

is that the one above?

brazen eagle
#

yes

#

well the header font is conf-supplied

clear lodge
#

very nice

brazen eagle
#

should be open now

clear lodge
#

you're always at the top of my github following feed πŸ˜‚ I guess no one else I folow is doing much hahah

brazen eagle

haha

#

oh I see you

#

hmm, anything I can raid in your repos

clear lodge
#

Not really

#

Unless you wanna try out my style lib as a test case πŸ˜‰ but its not finished. Just using it myself on a few projects to see what is convenient and what isnt

A warning is what it sounds like. An indication that something is wrong, but not so wrong that it'll stop

surreal bronze
#

Nobody can help you until you've posted the full log with the error at the end. If there's any sensitive information you don't feel comfortable with you can replace it with a placeholder

#

But its imperative that we get that information, and the command used to execute the build - otherwise we have nothing to go of

does anyone know of a "web development for hackers" type course?

What does this mean πŸ€”

#

Are you looking for secure coding stuff? Web app testing? Just how to host a website?

My recommendation: Just learn the basics of web development instead of appending β€œfor hackers” at the end of it.

# bright ermine does anyone know of a "web development for hackers" type course?

I found w3Schools very useful for learning general web development, after setting up a basic website, it will probablybe vulnerable to many attacks. You can than look at port swigger academy, which goes through many vulnerabilities, how to exploit and and to prevent them, if you implement and test the suggested options for prevention in your website you will likely understand web security well.

inland hazel
#

if you gonna make a chess game that way at least make an ai or script to produce the code

lilac holly
inland hazel
#

well depends... there was some way to calculate how many moves is possible from a standard start of chess giving it in a power of 10 number

#

shadow dunno how to do that though

lilac holly
#

mathematician Claude Shannon said there is around 10^120 possible positions of chess pieces (including the illegal one), and that number is very, very big, more than a number of atoms in observable universe.
This is the information upon which I found the pic funny since it would be "infinite" printfs and therefor my initial thought that it would take relativeily invinitely long to calculate all possibilities

inland hazel
#

well then guess shadows solution is still better then doing it by hand but you need a couple universes to get through it

lilac holly
#

In that case I agree, computer power > brain power 🀣

Np, that's why I always think it's a good idea to track back and make sure you're sending what you think you're sending

#

When I do webdev, I usually run Burp Browser just so I can see exactly what's going through

surreal bronze
#

100%

magic falcon
#

It's a good idea for any network based programming - monitoring I/O across your channel can be really painful. Similar for IPC debugging as well

Authentication

The WebSocket protocol was designed for creating web applications that need bidirectional communication between clients running in browsers and servers. In most practical use cases, WebSocket serve...

#

This is my current server code, I'm just wondering if there's a "standard" way for authentication (just between two devices, no browser). Currently I'm using just sending creds as the first message for it, are there any major downsides to this? I can only think of the message being intercepted...but if I'm using SSL/TTS that shouldn't be a problem right?

As long as you have certs etc, Basic Auth is ok

#

that is a very rough baseline, and obviously could be improved a lot (like using a beter method than reversed(range(len())) - but the overall logic is there and the program works

#

recursion might be cleaner than the for loop, but its up to you

# 
PyObject *PyDict_SetDefault(PyObject *p, PyObject *key, PyObject *defaultobj)
Return value: Borrowed reference.
This is the same as the Python-level dict.setdefault(). If present, it returns the value corresponding to key from the dictionary p. If the key is not in the dict, it is inserted with value defaultobj and defaultobj is returned. This function evaluates the hash function of key only once, instead of evaluating it independently for the lookup and the insertion.

# Client
wsapp.send(struct.pack("IIi", type_, code, value)) # => event

# Server
type_, code, value = struct.unpack("IIi", bytes(event.encode("utf-8")))

What would I need to use with JS to send data correctly? (i.e in bytes form)

#

For example,

1, 31, 0 >> \x01\x00\x00\x00\x1f\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00

Okay I have

let x = new ArrayBuffer(12)
let unsign = new Uint32Array(x)
let type = unsign[0]
let code = unsign[1]
let sign = new Int32Array(x)
let value = sign[2]

which gives

< BINARY 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 [12 bytes]
DEBUG:websockets.server:> TEXT 'OK' [2 bytes]
DEBUG:root:Emitting event: ((0, 0), 0)

so thats a start....but im not sure how to change the actull values?

let x = new ArrayBuffer(12)
let view = new Uint32Array(x);
view[0] = 1;

solved

hi guys is something like this possible?
Get-ChildItem -Path .\ -Recurse **minus** Get-ChildItem -Path .\ -Recurse -File -Include .abc
Exclude wouldn't be helpful, cuz of other files in the directories
So I could get the path to the directories that don't contain the extension .abc

wraith latch
wanton cliff
# wraith latch Hi, yes it is possible. One way of achieving this is by piping to a Where-Object...

I guess I have to specify it a bit more. Your command is the same like Get-ChildItem -Path .\ -Recurse -File -include '*.abc'
I hope the following example is better. I have 5 directories; in 3 of them are 2 files with extension .abc and .xyz the other 2 contains the files with extension .xyz.
So when I use Get-ChildItem -Path .\ -Recurse -File -exclude '*.abc' I will get 5 paths (all .xyz-files) but what I want is the 2 paths of the directories without the .abc-files. I guess I have to use 2 for-loops and substract the dir-names to get my result.

I'm still not following what you want I think, but if it's the full path to the files that you are looking for, why don't you just pipe it to Select-Object and select the info you're interested in?

Your example below will get all of the items in the directory you've specified, and the -Recurse parameter will tell it to continue to dig into any subdirectories whilst excluding any results that contain the .abc extension

Get-ChildItem -Path .\ -Recurse -File -exclude '*.abc'

If you're interested only in the full path to those files you could so something like this.
This will do the same as above, however you are specifying exactly what information to output.
In this case it will output only the full UNC path to the files however this will also include any subdirectories that exist in within that directory.

Get-ChildItem -Path .\ -Recurse -File -exclude '*.abc' | Select-Object FullName

For loops aren't necessary because you're already recursing, adding a for loop would only complicate matters and make your script run slower.

currently all my bot functionalities is in one function in one file then thats called by main then i have handler functions that are called by the bot functions

bot.py  # one huge function called bot.run() with all the bot functionalities
main.py # literally just if __name__ and bot.run()
handler.py # the handler functions that are used by the bot

Great Website lol
In a class in C# is it possible to use more than one value for a getter and setter?

#

I have myself a class called Cell, which contains walls, and it's occupancy.

public class Cell()
{
  private bool[] walls = new bool[4];
}```

I wanted to know how you would go about making a getter and setter for this. Kinda similar to what I typed.

```cs
private void setWall(int wallID, bool state)
    {
        walls[wallID] = state;
    }

public bool SetWall
    {
        get { return walls[value]; }
        set { setWall(value, value2); }
    }
#

I have not found a way so currently I'm using a very annoying method of duplicating one getter/setter 4 times for each wall. (which really feels stupid)

image.png
#

If I cant find a solution I'm just going to split it into two public methods for getting and setting lol

surreal bronze
#

Hmm I have no experience with c#, so take this with a grain of salt but couldn't you use a tuple as the value for the setter, with the wall index and value? Source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14102028/can-i-pass-multiple-values-into-a-setter-in-c

Technically, he's correct, but no one who does asymptotic analysis really says that linear search, for example, is O(n^2), it's O(n)

#

the idea of 'worst case behavior' is that you want it to be bound to what is close, not the next 'step'

inland hazel
#

technically correct the best kind of correct

magic falcon
#

in this case it actually isn't

#

because it's less accurate

In a p2p system, should peers have double socket objects (one for receiving and one for sending) in each connection with another peer to each other peer, or can I use 1 for receiving and sending at the same time for each peer?

because e.g. on my local system :
peer 1
127.1 : 8000 listens
127.1 : 50000 sends to peer2
127.1 : 52000 sends to peer3

peer2
127.2 : 8000 listens
127.2 : 30000 sends to peer1
127.2 : 33000 sends to peer3

peer3
127.3 : 8000 listens
127.3 : 40000 sends to peer1
127.3 : 41000 sends to peer2

Here it's obvious that different sockets are used for sending, and one socket for receiving. Nonetheless I am using multiple socket objects for sending, and the same number for receiving

I am asking if I could use just one socket object to send and receive data with each peer, in order to use half the amount of threads I am currently using, or is it impossible to do so because a socket would have port 8000 for receiving and 30000 for sending and that just doesn't work in one socket?

If not how can I improve performance with the threads ? Or are they simply not the most efficient option and I should look into asynchronous I/O ?

So I was going to make a project that involved storing a 2D array or "cells" with data in each cell.
Is there any easier way to store that data in a file other than using JSON?
I was just gonna use JSON but I was curious on if yall had any input sunglas (I have not very much experience writing to files outside of a program)

#

The data is a strict 2D array of 10x10 and will not be changed in size at all

surreal bronze
#

Why JSON? Why not use a literal 2D array?

# 
data = [[0,0,0], [1,1,1], [2,2,2]]
#

Ah, didn't read that file part.

#

Well that depends, what programming language?

#

You could use pickles for example to save it to byte code and then load it back in (python)

#

Or depending on the data you could just write it like

0,0,0
1,1,1
2,2,2
#

And load it in line by line

slender raptor
#

Well right now I'm using C# since it's a default unity language. (and its pretty easy lol) I'm mostly messing around to learn how to store stuff the best way.

The cell class currently has an array of length 4 for "Cell walls" and a second array of length 4 for "Corners".
So if I made my own file it'd have to be something like 1,0,1,0:0,0,0,0 For a cell that has a top wall, bottom wall, and no corners. But splitting the offline data from that into variables seems weird. Thonk

But from a few tutorials I have found it looks like JSON has utilities to automatically extract the data from a file.

surreal bronze
#

Why would you use JSON though? Seems a bit overcomplicated for simple integer values - JSON is based of an attribute:value system. Here's an example for writing it to a simple text file, in python:

data = [[1,0,1,0],[0,0,0,0]]

with open('data', 'w+') as data:
  data.write('\n'.join([','.join(row) for row in data]))
slender raptor
#

How exactly would you separate this though? The biggest concern is not writing to a text file but reading.

surreal bronze
#

Pretty simple

# 
with open("data") as file:
    result = [[int(x) for x in line.split(',')] for line in file]
#

Read each line (array) and then join them together into the 2D array

slender raptor
#

OH I see actually

#

I think in C# it would actually need to be separated by getting substrings separated by the commas but that makes a bit more sense, thanks πŸ™‚

#

Ok I just realized how dumb I was being actually because since It's a 10/10 grid there will at most be an index of 99, so the first digit can be horizontal coordinates and the second digit can be vertical ([0] being the top left, [90] being bottom left, and [99] being bottom right) So I dont even need a 2D Array lol

slender raptor
# 
        char a = Path.DirectorySeparatorChar;
        string readFromFilePath = Application.streamingAssetsPath + a + "Tests.txt";
        List<string> fileLines = File.ReadLines(readFromFilePath).ToList();
        List<bool> bools = new List<bool>();
        
        string[] strings = fileLines[0].Split(",");
        foreach(string line in strings)
        {
            Debug.Log(line);
            bools.Add(bool.Parse(line));
        }

This seems to work fine for just splitting a line into booleans so I will probably keep this same general idea πŸ™‚ Ty for the brainstorming help

slender raptor
#

Ok I might actually need JSON anyways because each Cell should actually contain more properties than just corners/walls Thonk (It might just be more convenient)

            p.waitFor();
            p.destroy();
        } catch (Exception e) {}
    }
}

However, when trying this on windows, I am able to open up calc.exe. But I cant open powershell.exe

public class WindowsExploit {
    static {
        try {
            Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe").waitFor();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

OR

public class WindowsExploit {
    static {
        try {
            Runtime.getRuntime().exec("powershell.exe").waitFor();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Both are not working.. I dont understand why..

^https?:\/{2}youtube\.com(?:\/.*)?$ would check for the url you put in #general, with *either* http or https, ending in *either* nothing, a trailing slash, or a trailing slash and any characters after

There are hundreds of blog articles on the topic; it's simpler though, to just accept that a hash is defined as a one way mathematical function, and encryption is a reversible transformation based on a key.

Yall ever do stuff programming related and it feels like it should be an easy task but it's really confusing for whatever reason?

magic falcon
#

That's programming in general. The more planning you do to walk through the logic before you sit at hte keyboard, the more progress you'll make

surreal bronze
#

When that happens I usually resort to going hand written

#

planning the logic and solution, not the actual code

slender raptor
surreal bronze
#

Is the problem an assignment?

magic falcon
#

Seriously, walk through the process on a whiteboard or pen and paper. Once you understand the process of what you're trying to implement, the actual coding will be much less of a problem.

slender raptor
#

Well I was just typing it out like this and trying to look at how a grid looks with the numbers, but the problem is just creating a mesh grid and assigning vertices properly. I could look it up but don't really want to copy and paste someone else's idea :p

image.png
surreal bronze
#

is that given to you in a string format?

#

I'd personally store it as a 2d array

slender raptor
#

No Im not trying to store information here, but I'm just trying to visualize how I would need to implement a system for assigning triangles.

#

For example one triangle could be from vertices 0, 1, 11 and another triangle would be 0, 11, 10. Idk its just kinda frustrating coding sometimes lol

image.png
surreal bronze
#

What do you mean by "system for assigning triangles"?

#

Assigning triangles to what exactly? And what data structure would it be?

slender raptor
#

In unity the way meshes work is they have a vertex array, which is a Vector3[]. This is where all the vertices are stored and their positions.

To assign triangles you need to assign an int[] array determining which Vertices are connected...

So for example an array containing 4 points for a quad could look like this.

    private Vector3[] vertices = new Vector3[]
    {                             // Index
        new Vector3(0, 0, 0), // 0
        new Vector3(1, 0, 0), // 1
        new Vector3(0, 0, 1), // 2
        new Vector3(1, 0, 1)  // 3
    };

Then to assign triangles you need to assign the int array like so.

private int[] triangles = new int[]
    {
        0, 1, 2, //Triangle 1
        1, 3, 2  //Triangle 2
    };

But for some reason I cant think of the proper logic to make this work in a for loop. (I did ask ChatGPT how to do such a thing, and it came up with a working solution but I don't really understand it)

#

I might just let it sit in my mind for a bit, take a break and then continue later πŸ˜†

surreal bronze
#

Ah okay, so correct me if I'm wrong but

    private Vector3[] vertices = new Vector3[]
    {                             // Index
        new Vector3(0, 0, 0), // 0
        new Vector3(1, 0, 0), // 1
        new Vector3(0, 0, 1), // 2
        new Vector3(1, 0, 1)  // 3
    };

This part just contains points on the plane, at those vector coordinates.

#

Then you want to make a triangle with 3 of those vector points

private int[] triangles = new int[]
    {
        0, 1, 2, //Triangle 1
        1, 3, 2  //Triangle 2
    };

Where the numbers are the index locations of the vector points?

slender raptor
#

Yeah :p

#

If implemented properly those two arrays would produce triangles like this

image.png
magic falcon
#

What kind of project are you using Unity to build?

surreal bronze
slender raptor
#

This is literally just to mess with meshes for landscapes at the moment, it looked fun so I was just messing with it.

surreal bronze
slender raptor
#

The points 0, 1, and 2, are indexes in the Vector3 so the first triangle is made using these 3 points

new Vector3(0, 0, 0), // 0
new Vector3(1, 0, 0), // 1
new Vector3(0, 0, 1), // 2
surreal bronze
#

Yup gathered that, but what triangles are you trying to make?

# 
private Vector3[] vertices = new Vector3[]
    {                             // Index
        new Vector3(0, 0, 0), // 0
        new Vector3(1, 0, 0), // 1
        new Vector3(0, 0, 1), // 2
        new Vector3(1, 0, 1)  // 3
    };

You have this, what is telling you what triangles need to be assigned?

slender raptor
#

I am a bit confused by your question, I am telling the computer what triangles need to be assigned using the integer array. I did just come up with a possible solution for the triangles though so I will try to implement it later :p

surreal bronze
#

Sure, so your just giving it an array like 0, 1, 2 ?

slender raptor
#

Yeah :p

#

Its an array of integers, and each set of 3 numbers equals a triangle

#

0, 1, 2 would be a triangle
1, 3, 2 could be another
2, 1, 0 would be the first one but flipped normal direction (because it is labeled counter clockwise and that is how Unity determines direction)

surreal bronze
#

Got you! So you want to split the array into sets of 3?

slender raptor
#

Basically yeah. You're generating a grid by having it split the array of points into sets of 3 to determine where each triangle goes

surreal bronze
#

But why give it as a single dimension array?

I was thinking to learn C++ development on Linux and networking in C++ with ASIO. I should try and make a web server that I can connect to on my LAN. Starting very basic with a simple static HTML but I would like to maybe host a server on my main desktop and access content on it or something.
I know PHP can read tags from the HTML and handle form data etc. Maybe I could do that with C++ instead.
Then next maybe make a ASCII game that's also networked. I would need to know how to update the screen fast enough maybe directly using X11 calls in the client (all to avoid the slow printf function calls.). Then set up a little top down world to explore with other square text character.

Not a plug but I just launched this website www.lanebyte.com on my local server the webpage displays everything perfectly, but once hosted through hostgator, my webpage doesnt display the main title text just a flashing | @vestal carbon

#

I dont know if I fucked something up in my code, or what

tranquil stirrup
#

What hosting package are you running locally?

mild grove
#

By locally I mean just opening the file in chrome

#

But I am using Hostgator webhosting services through cPanel

brazen eagle
#

have you tried via github or gitlab pages?

mild grove
#

wdym?

brazen eagle
#

I'm assuming it's a static site?

#

ie: no dynamic server-side code

mild grove
#

yeah no, its static

tranquil stirrup

This is what you see on web?

brazen eagle
#

on a UX side, slow down the animation, it's a bit distracting πŸ™‚

mild grove

lm,fao

will do

vestal carbon

it does not look like the title is in the code?

I don't see any "Lane Byte" text in source.

yeah

mild grove
#

the "Lane Byte" is apart of my JS

#

heres my JS

tranquil stirrup
#

if I explicitly go to /index.html I see it.

vestal carbon
#

same

mild grove
#

nvm its too long lol

surreal bronze
#

whats the URL pls?

tranquil stirrup
#

So JS == Dynamic πŸ˜‰

mild grove
#

okay, so whats my issue? is it thinking that the home page is different from <home>

vestal carbon
#

missing your "type title" in your index file

image.png
#

not index.html

brazen eagle
#

is there an index.htm lying around?

mild grove
surreal bronze
mild grove
vestal carbon
#

nvm

#

my bad

#

looked at 2 files

tranquil stirrup
surreal bronze
#

and doesn't load at the root, interesting

tranquil stirrup
#

And it's gone for me now.

#

πŸ™‚

mild grove
#

Do I have to create a redirect?

mild grove
surreal bronze
vestal carbon
#

I know why

surreal bronze
#

well it seems pretty obvious to me here

#

πŸ˜›

vestal carbon
#

same

mild grove
#

Okay I must be blind lmfao

vestal carbon
#

it's obvious now that I look at it

brazen eagle
#

haha

#

yeah

mild grove
#

I'm not seeing it whatsoever, keep in mind ive been staring at this shit all day lol

surreal bronze
#

always helpful to have another set of eyes

vestal carbon
#

there's no index in your url meaning it won't show the title

surreal bronze
#

I'd do the same thing honestly

brazen eagle
#

needs an || currentPage === ''

tranquil stirrup
#

No "default" condition so to speak.

mild grove
#

ahhhhh

vestal carbon
#

yeee

brazen eagle
#

or an else

mild grove
#

okayyyy

#

let me give it a shot

brazen eagle
#

and nuke the index case

mild grove
#

give me 10 seconds site doesnt take long to update

tranquil stirrup
#

Currently πŸ˜‰

mild grove
#

FIXED

#

lmfao you guys are great

brazen eagle
#

also also, the under construction banner is so 1998

tranquil stirrup
#

One day you will get annoyed with having to load a whole page to update one small thing, then you'll start building a framework, and the index file will be a list of includes, and nothing else πŸ˜„

mild grove
tranquil stirrup
surreal bronze
mild grove
#

Just something I wanted to try

tranquil stirrup
#

It's like 2023 does 1998

brazen eagle
mild grove
#

It fit the theme though lol

tranquil stirrup
#

(well, web 2.0 for active... so 2003 does 1998?)

brazen eagle
#

but it's a bit awkward and superfluous

surreal bronze
#

slight nickpick but it does look weird with the text heading

image.png
brazen eagle
#

yeah

vestal carbon
#

especially the see through

tranquil stirrup
#

Auto-hides in 10 seconds πŸ˜‰

vestal carbon
#

irritates my eyes

mild grove
brazen eagle
#

raise the opacity

mild grove
#

Its not permanent or anything lol but for the mean time I understand

brazen eagle
#

this is 95%

image.png
#

you miss the type effect though

vestal carbon
#

much better

surreal bronze
#

my idea was to just display the text after you click "hide"

#

but that works too

mild grove
#

lol

#

So other than the banner how do you guys like the site thus far?

tranquil stirrup
#

Welcome to web-design. πŸ™‚

I like how you link index.html# on everything else than about.html and just redirect to 404

Like I said its still under development, read the banner lmfao

vestal carbon
#

yeee, just funny

mild grove
brazen eagle

I'd still slow down the background animation

mild grove

Okay let me look into that really quickly

vestal carbon
surreal bronze
mild grove
#

I just removed the first one lol

brazen eagle
#

I said add an or

surreal bronze

I like the design

brazen eagle

not nuke the index

(routing is hard)

okay, I'll fix that

brazen eagle
#

yeah that

surreal bronze
#

now its the opposite

#

http://lanebyte.com/index.html

#

doesnt work

#

but http://lanebyte.com/ does

brazen eagle
#

yeah known bug

vestal carbon
#

we just said that

brazen eagle
#

πŸ˜›

#

well as of 30 seconds ago but still

mild grove
#

now I have to do some math's and change the speed lol

surreal bronze
#

sorry guys im old

brazen eagle
#

get with the program!

brazen eagle
surreal bronze
vestal carbon
mild grove
brazen eagle
#

well, the speeds

mild grove
#

I'm going to do it locally first

#

then I'll publish one second

surreal bronze
brazen eagle
#

will be better with a more subtle effect, I'm assuming 30-60 fps here

vestal carbon
#

25-30 is nice

#

typical animation speed for animes

mild grove
#

try now

#

do a nice refresh

surreal bronze
#

works :)

vestal carbon
#

yeeee, much better

surreal bronze
#

you also fixed that other bug

mild grove
#

Yeah I'm aware lol

#

For a second I thought I broke half of my background because one side was just black while the other had lines lol

brazen eagle
#

you can go even slower tbf

mild grove
#

by how much? you think?

brazen eagle
#

at least half

mild grove
#

okay lets try that out

surreal bronze
#

Mobile actually works decent too

mild grove
surreal bronze
#

Does kinda feel like its in desktop mode but its accessible sooo

surreal bronze
mild grove
#

half speed is published

brazen eagle
surreal bronze
#

indeed

mild grove
#

how does that look hydra?

surreal bronze
#

I like the speed

#

did you think about having the typing cursor stay on?

vestal carbon
mild grove
brazen eagle
#

this is a simulated iPhone

image.png
surreal bronze
brazen eagle
#

motion is still visible, but feels more subtle and less hyperactive

mild grove
#

yeah I dont mind it at all

surreal bronze
#

Good job!

brazen eagle
#

so it's less distracting for the content

#

have you tried monochrome dots?

mild grove
#

I'm still learning web development, but I feel for one of my first PUBLISHED projects this is actually pretty good. I really appreciate the critisism too!

mild grove
brazen eagle
#

it's easier if you specify HSL

surreal bronze
#

Nice 404

#

Mine just redirects them to a special youtube video for any invalid request

mild grove
mild grove
#

Don't know what it looks like

vestal carbon
mild grove
#

The site was JUST PUBLISHED not even an hour ago

surreal bronze
#

any button

mild grove
#

lol

brazen eagle
mild grove
#

But i feel that If I continue with this project, it may turn out pretty good lol

surreal bronze
brazen eagle
#

very probably

mild grove
#

another thing I have to do is verify my SSL

#

I hate having http

brazen eagle
mild grove
#

I want a HTTPS

#

with a lock lol

surreal bronze
#

what are you hosting it on

mild grove
#

HostGator

surreal bronze
#

caddy or letsencrypt

#

ah okay

surreal bronze
#

fair play

brazen eagle
#

yeah provider just have a letsencrypt button

vestal carbon
mild grove
#

On my end it says it will cost $800+ lmfao

brazen eagle
#

yeah use the freebie

vestal carbon
#

there's a free version

mild grove
#

I'm running AutoSSL right now one second lol

vestal carbon
#

speaking of programming, I need to get back to finish my custom tooling

mild grove
#

okay it should be secure now lets see

#

Well it may take a bit

#

actually lol

#

Thats what my cPanel says atleast lol

brazen eagle
#

it's Let's Encrypt

mild grove
#

beautiful lol

brazen eagle
#

also running TLS 1.3

surreal bronze
mild grove
brazen eagle
mild grove
#

Ah okay, bet.

#

Now I need to create a logo, and favicon lol

#

I also want to try something with the dot and lines animation

#

Not sure how I like that

#

any opinions @surreal bronze @brazen eagle @vestal carbon

surreal bronze
#

Yeah I prefer the older one

mild grove
#

Yeah I only tested it on localhost

#

Need to create a backup of this though just incase I fuck it up lol

#

Also is this better for the banner?

clear lodge
#

I like the old school "under construction" banner πŸ˜„

mild grove
#

I wanted to try it man

#

Kinda fuels the fire of the website

#

Its still kinda basic in itself

#

not much

clear lodge
#

Fr though Id highly recommend to build mobile first

mild grove
#

Whys that

#

I dont like this about me page at all either lol

image.png
#

Need more

#

and less at the same time

clear lodge
#

Because a lot, lot of views today come from mobile devices. A lot! Nevermind that we also have 50000 different screen sizes today. If your site is broken on a small(er) screen, it instantly gives off a very unprofessional first impression. Also, dont be scared of it πŸ˜„ its actually super nice to work that way and will make your life easier and your code cleaner

#

Esp your site as it is, is super easy to build mobile first! Do it now before it gets too complex πŸ˜„

surreal bronze
mild grove

#

Gave +1 Rep to @clear lodge

mild grove
#

Not to sure about that @surreal bronze lmfao

surreal bronze
#

Like the starwars animations opening credits 🀣

#

Impractical but man would that be awesome aha

mild grove
#

This is what I have, thinking about adding something under the paragraph

image.png
#

Maybe like photos of the people who helped build the site lol

#

Hmm

#

I dont know

clear lodge
#

I would:

  • reduce about us box width ( the ideal amount of characters per line is something like 50-80 ). Too long lines are not comfortable for reading
  • then place your picture and text next o one another in 2 columns
  • ditch text align center and align your text left ( also for readability )
#

whats the url of this page? I can demonstrate it if you like

mild grove
#

Its not live yet, although I think I understand what you mean

clear lodge
#

ah i see

#

just keep in mind that this feedback is all from a UX and modern best practices perspective. Its good for users but kills creativity a bit

#

so if you want to just do creativity, then go for it πŸ˜„

#

or find a nice balance between the two

mild grove
#

I want the site to be likeable so ill definetly look into what your saying!

mild grove
clear lodge
#

characters

#

her eis some article

#

you'll find a ton of them if you look online though

#

but generally the numbers vary somewhere between 50 and 80, some saying 65 is THE best

brazen eagle
mild grove
clear lodge
mild grove
#

Okay, thank you!

#

Let me add a scroll bar really quick, and then I'll look into what youre saying πŸ˜‰

#

@clear lodge Does that look better length wise per line?

image.png
#

I added a bit more white space around the test aswell

clear lodge
#

yes, but its still a large block of text

mild grove
#

trying to figure out how to isolate the text, and have it left-align rather than the whole box align left of the site

clear lodge
#

I'd break it up into a few paragraphs ( about equal size each ), and .. I'd probably align the text left

#

text-align: left;

on the box

#

or if you are using flexbox, thennnn from the top of my head its justify content

#

justify-content: flex-start

or something

mild grove
#

Of course when you say it and I try it it works...

#

I tried that before lol but it did nothing lmfao

clear lodge
#

hehe yeah CSS is annoying like that πŸ˜„

mild grove
#

Okay, and you said add space between the text? Like make it look like its less to read? lol

#

Here let me publish this live really quickly, so you can see it

clear lodge
#

So rather than putting every line in a <p>, just let the text fill the space. So insstead of:

<p>line<p>
<p>line<p>
<p>line<p>
<p>line<p>

do:

<p>
    few lines
<p>

<p>
    few lines
<p>
#

sure

mild grove
#

its live

clear lodge
#

url?

#

im lazy

mild grove
#

Don't worry about the so called 1998 banner lmfao

#

I'm still new to webdesign lol, and wanted to experiment

clear lodge
#

yeah ofc πŸ™‚ its fun!

mild grove
#

Okay, how did you do that lol

brazen eagle
#

try to avoid br

clear lodge
#

breaking up your paragraphs will be a much easier reading experience. Here I also increased the lineheight ( to 2 rem ) on p

brazen eagle
#

she used proper paragraphs and let the browser figure it out

surreal bronze
#

Personally not a big fan on the border

clear lodge
#

dont put the border on the p tag πŸ™‚ put the border on container ( that contains the text, in your case that is the div.about-content

mild grove
#

okay, so add the class="outlined-paragraph" class to the about content div?

brazen eagle
#

for the record on reduced height:

image.png
clear lodge
#

I would just call it border

#

that way, you can apply the class to any element that will get a border. There's no need to specify that, in this instance, it borders a paragraph

mild grove
#

okay

clear lodge
#

and the only styles the class "border" then specifies is the border and te border radius, no more

brazen eagle
#

keep it simple, stupid πŸ˜‰

clear lodge
#

that way you can apply it to other elements consistently

#

naming things is a tricky thing and much debated. haha

mild grove
#

When I do this, i get this:

brazen eagle
#

use multiple paragraphs

mild grove
#

well yeah

brazen eagle
#

without the br

mild grove
#

but I mean the border is gone

brazen eagle
#

you can set the class on a container div

#

or the p itself

clear lodge
#

you'll figure it out πŸ˜„ just need to fix your code a little bit

brazen eagle
#

you may want to set a max-width as well Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

mild grove
#

lmfao

#

I was thinking about that since, it likes to form fit

brazen eagle
#

instead of explicit linebreaks

#

be careful with height, it doesn't render properly on 1080p

mild grove
mild grove
brazen eagle
#

whatever makes the 65 or so characters πŸ™‚

#

or say 70-80% on wide screens

#

and 90-100% on smaller

clear lodge
#

seconded

#

you need to look into media queries

#

for a responsive design

brazen eagle
#

yes

#

"small" is usually less than about 1024 wide

#

though some subdivide at small ~800, medium up to ~1200 and large past

surreal bronze
#

What about removing the white border, moving the "About me" up, making the text length slightly bigger and splitting it up into different paragraphs ?

Screenshot_2023-05-18-10-27-44-16_572064f74bd5f9fa804b05334aa4f912.jpg
#

Kinda like that

mild grove
surreal bronze
#

Yeah I think it should be slightly higher

mild grove
#

I think that should just be padding, let me check

#

higher?

clear lodge
# 
/* all small screens will use 100% of the width */
.about-content {
   ...
   width: 100%;
}

/* all screens with a width of 1024px minimum will use a width of 500px */
@media only screen and (min-width: 1024px){
   .about-content {
      ...
      width: 500px;
   }
}

the 1024px is an arbitrary-ish number, its up to what you set it to. Some standard sizes are 768 for tablet, 1024 for large tablet / small laptop, 1440 for normal laptop screens etc. You can set as many as you want, but I recommend only using 1 or 2. Don't make it too complicated for yourself. These are called breakpoints btw.

When we say 'mobile first' this is ( one of the things ) I mean . You first build your design only for small sizes, and then once you're happy, you add some media queries and make it look nice for desktop. You'll find that that will be super quick and easy ( the other around sucks because you're going to be fighting cascading styles! )

mild grove
#

I see

#

@surreal bronze , higher, or is that good?

clear lodge
#

and then you get spaghetti

mild grove
#

I like spaghetti lol

clear lodge
#

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti_code

Spaghetti code

Spaghetti code is a pejorative phrase for unstructured and difficult-to-maintain source code. Spaghetti code can be caused by several factors, such as volatile project requirements, lack of programming style rules, and software engineers with insufficient ability or experience.
