Sedro posted:What state, and how is it not atomic? The PATCH either happens or doesn't; there is no half-PATCHed state. But shouldn't a 202 also return something in the body about the status of the resource (or even a url to check the status as it's being written)? The postback when the write is done seems more complicated than it should be.

Pollyanna posted:I guess the question I have is how I handle the conditional Tag and AssetTag creation prior to the Asset creation with changesets and the way that Ecto does persistence. It seems to me that you have to do it all at the same time, and you can't really do persistence sequentially. Meaning, I can't do two creates in a single action. Or do I not understand how Ecto works? Ah, I see. I still think you should be able to do this in a very similar manner to ActiveRecord, so porting it back shouldn't be too hard. It's been a while since I tested something similar to what you're trying, so sorry if a bit light on details, but you'll want to write a function, as you had, but the first pipe will be a preload of the tags, which Ecto provides a function for. Once you've done that I *think* you can just treat them as any other column, and you use the same changeset manipulation you'd do otherwise. Note Ecto itself doesn't do persistence: it's not an ORM, it's more of a query language, so yeah, it is a bit wierd at first. Away from computer tonight, but tomorrow I'll try and dig out the categories test I did with Phoenix, which is basically the same as what you're trying to do. Phoenix is light years ahead of almost anything else in terms of the simplicity of implementing channels (and automatically drops back to pubsub with zero extra work, so that sorts IE issues), so I'd definitely stick with that if that's key to what you're needing

I was looking for something in site:mysite.com and a bunch of PDF files showed up in the results. Underneath each one there's a Googley red message: "This page is not mobile friendly, you rancid piece of poo poo!" So I click it, and it goes to: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/?url=mysite.com/apdf.pdf And sure enough, unfriendliness confirmed. But... it's a freaking PDF? Are they not allowed anymore? Is Google expecting an HTML5/GoogleDocs version now? Have you guys seen this, and how do you get around it? Probably around 1/3 of this site is ancient PDF part diagrams for obscure mechanical equipment.

Speaking of PDFs, I have what I hope is an easy question. I've got a website that's supposed to be mobile friendly, and it's supposed to provide the option to download a pdf. I tried window.open("pdfUri"); but this crashes the android browser. I also tried window.open(encodeURI(pdfUri)); and window.open(pdfUri, "_blank"); And then I tried to use a tag instead, <a download="test" href="pdfUri" target="_blank"> </a>. Nothing seems to be working for me. It seems like it should be such a common issue, but I just couldn't figure out how to google for it properly. Anyone have any advice? I'm using ASP.NET MVC if that's relevant. I assume it isn't, though.

People tend to get easily intimidated the moment they step outside of college. You are probably not nearly as under qualified as you think you are. No one is looking for a new grad to be some kind of well-rounded wunderkind. As long as you learn quickly and know the basics you're fine.

Just saw you post in the WP thread: you'll be fine, just start doing some work! Even if you don't have a job and aren't getting paid, start making websites for yourself. In this industry experience is king. Once you've done a few projects you'll know which tools are great and which tools suck and you'll have learned three or four browser quirks that made one of your sites look idiotic until you figured out how to avoid them. Knowing a few languages or having a good eye for visual aesthetics is only a very small part of what makes a good web designer or developer – to a large degree knowing the tools and knowing when to use them is what separates a novice from a professional. If you've learned how to code, all you need to succeed is more time coding. Look for some entry level positions or even a paid internship, I'll bet you can find something. kedo fucked around with this message at 14:40 on Jun 14, 2016 |

Yes, or an email boilerplate provided by whoever your vendor happens to be. MailChimp has some good ones. Writing your own HTML email from scratch is A) dumb, and B) incredibly tedious and painful.

If I'm being honest, I do like to see a nicely-crafted e-mail as opposed to text-only if I'm being marketed to. On the other hand, no one needs more than a basic MailChimp template* to make their e-mail look presentable anyway, so it's not something anyone needs to be spending a huge amount of time on. * I would also argue there's no particularly good reason to avoid a commercial e-mail provider like MailChimp if you're just doing marketing, because they've gone through all the hassle of making sure poo poo works, and even the most expensive packages are nothing compared to developer time.

You can make an email that looks good easy enough. You just have to design to the limitations. The bullshit comes out when designers want to force HTML email to be something it's not. Creative stuff comes out of it from agencies with massive spends, but for regular people and clients, just a standard single col/two col layout is just fine and easy enough to implement with a framework or Mailchimp.

I've (unfortunately) had a bit of experience with HTML emails where the aim is maximum compatibility across email clients. The basic rule is to just pretend like it's 1998 and build all layouts with nested tables while sticking to simple (in-line) styling.

When asked to create emails, I have always found that (despite 20+ years writing HTML) claiming 'I know nothing about HTML emails, someone else should do it' works best. NB: This technique also works when some numpty uses the word 'Sharepoint' in my presence. Sergeant Rock fucked around with this message at 10:40 on Jun 15, 2016 |

I've got a kind of weird user auth problem to solve. Users of my application want to sign on using their internal Active Directory based company ID number, which has their most up-to-date employee and account information. But this ID number is not a stable, unique identifier, because the number can change if the employee is promoted from contractor to full-time, therefore no longer representing that specific user. Also, these numbers can be reused, which means that the number can also end up pointing to a totally different person altogether. I want my users to only have to remember the same username and password they use for everything else, but I have no idea how to track and coordinate changes in these "unique" identifiers and update the database accordingly. The only solution I can think of is to require the user to supply a username specific to this application, but that defeats the purpose of single sign on. What options do I have in approaching this problem?

You authenticate based on parameters that AD admin lets you via whatever LDAP query you use. They should pass back an object of related data about the user including a unique identifier. The unique identifier is probably something the users have no idea about but you can bet AD has one unless you're doing something crazy with AD accounts when user ids change. It might be an ugly GUID, but it will be unique.

What's the general attitude toward JavaServer Faces, these days? I don't see much in the way of chatter about it, which would either suggest that it's either A) not doing anything particularly exciting; or, B) is not regarded very highly. Just from the projects I've worked on with it over the last couple of months, it seems moderately sufficient, at least, even though we appear to be working off a version at least six years old.

I'm building a new enterprise app in JSF. I didn't want to build it on whatever the soup of the day was (angular, react, etc) because this is something that needs to be around for 20+ years. So I went with the old, mature, and boring JSF. I actually like it quite a bit. I mean it's not the greatest, but if you're a Java shop it seems like an easy fit. I'm still happy with the decision.
