whose tuggin: Nov 6, 2009; by Hand Knit

Thanks, you have already been pretty helpful and I appreciate it. :cheers:

this is the mix file, mix.exs:

code:

defmodule PastePalooza.Mixfile do
  use Mix.Project

  def project do
    [
      app: :pastepalooza,
      version: "0.1.0",
      elixir: "~> 1.5",
      start_permanent: Mix.env == :prod,
      deps: deps(),
      flag: "REDACTED"
    ]
  end

  # Run "mix help compile.app" to learn about applications.
  def application do
    [
      extra_applications: [:logger],
      mod: {Server, []}
    ]
  end

  # Run "mix help deps" to learn about dependencies.
  defp deps do
    [
      # {:dep_from_hexpm, "~> 0.3.0"},
      # {:dep_from_git, git: "https://github.com/elixir-lang/my_dep.git", tag: "0.1.0"},
    ]
  end
end

as you can see, there is a field in the Project function called ":flag" with a value that's "REDACTED" in the source code that we have access to. But remember, this code is a simple server that's running remotely. If I can find out what the actual value of that "flag" field, I can complete the challenge.

Thus far, (with some help from the stackexchange you posted, and from elsewhere), I have figured out how to compile this server (along with some other source files that I didn't include) by running

code:

elixir --sname server -S mix run --no-halt

. Then I can run it, and even attach an instance of the iex interpreter/console to it by calling

code:

iex --sname console --remsh server@<TheScientist>

and then, from the iex remote shell that that spawns, invoking:

code:

Mix.Project.config[:flag]

echos the expected contents of that "key-pair" (if I'm understanding this correctly) - ie "REDACTED"

So now I'm working on getting the line in your first code snippet to work. I have no idea what the cookie or node names are. I will try various permutations of "paste palooza". Thanks, and I will try not to pollute this thread much more

Yeah, you're completely on the right track here - the issue you're going to have is that when the server is on another computer, you need to know what the name/address of the application is. The cookie is a security measure, if you're meshing two applications on separate machines, you want them to share that (so for example if you start up the server on one machine with elixir --sname server --cookie monster -S mix run --no-halt), then on another machine you'd pass "monster" as the cookie, and then server@whatever_the_process_id_is as the name of the node you're connecting to. What you're literally connecting to here is the main application process (defined in the module Pasteapalooza) of the server (cf app: :pastepalooza in the keyword list in the project function).

Normally the server would be built with functionality to expose ways to mesh into a network, and have functions that would give you the information you want by sending messages to and from that node, so all this is a bit hacky.

Yup, that's the easiest way to get the values - there isn't any magic, unless a function is defined as private, it'll be exposed and accessible.

Just on syntax here if it seems a bit weird: you can't just have a bare property in a module, everything has to be a function. In this case the function just returns a keyword list ([key1: value1, key2: value2], which is sugar for a list of k/v tuples, used generally for describing named options - same as [{:key1, value1}, {:key2, value2}]. So the function Mix.Project.config() evaluates to that list, and you can then access the values with the bracket syntax.

PT6A: Jan 5, 2006; Public school teachers are callous dictators who won't lift a finger to stop children from peeing in my plane

Is there a good way to explain to people that, sometimes, it's just not possible to crack the top 10 in a google search without spending money on advertising? I have a client in a fairly competitive business, and I feel that there's just a limit to what I can possibly do to get him a good spot on Google without advertising and/or a massive increase to the content creation budget.

He's definitely top-10 for certain brands that he carries, but generic terms are getting a mid-second-page result and there's just gently caress all I can think to do about it at this point. We've tried advertising on google and facebook, and it is at least driving traffic to the website if not the actual physical location, but he doesn't think it's worth it.

I don't know how else I can explain to him that all the other businesses in his industry are doing roughly the same things (but with a much bigger budget and customer base), and no one "deserves" a top 10 position just because they'd like more customers.

# ? Mar 23, 2018 23:20

kedo: Nov 27, 2007

My argument to clients in situations like this is that a large part of your Google rank is based on other sites linking to you. The ways to get more links is to get more people talking about your business, and you can do that by investing in a marketing budget and/or producing more content yourself. If you've already done basic code optimization and are monitoring traffic patterns and responding with adword buys, everything else SEO is somewhere between snake oil and contraband that runs the risk of getting your site blacklisted. Most legit SEO firms I've worked with in the past are basically doing ad sales and analytics work.

Doesn't hurt to know of a good marketing person/firm you'd refer before you do this.

Listening to the Indiehackers podcast, I hear mixed opinions from their success stories. I feel like the opinions expressed are either "paid advertising and whatnot was a complete waste of money for us" or "eh, it was alright, I guess."

If you actually compile all the ads/keywords you can show that the competitors are paying for then you might have a better argument for "You need to do what they're doing, here are screens of exactly what they are doing."

On the SEO talk- I'm going to vent a bit, here. Despite what anyone claims nobody has 100% "figured out" SEO (Google doesn't make this easy). It's constantly changing. But there are all of these "marketing and communications" companies out there that make dubious claims about "SEO optimization" and make bullshit claims about being able to make you #1 on Google Pagerank for the low, low cost of $800 a month or something. So people are just throwing money at these companies, many of which are run by complete hacks, with really mixed results.

And depending on the role of the site, getting search results doesn't mean poo poo all for the clickthrough rate, and a good clickthrough rate does gently caress all to actually get customers to visit your business. That's the other thing that's frustrating to explain.

Even if you can get all the SEO metrics pumped, there's only so much that will actually accomplish for the business.

In fact, if you need to support older browsers it's smart to use jQuery rather than vanilla JS. Being able to write things in plain old JS is a good skill to have, but don't throw out a perfectly valid and useful tool just because someone on the internet told you to.

Flask, not much. Django, a bunch, but Django is a much more "batteries included" framework. The official Django tutorial is a good read (you don't have to actually follow along or even know python much) to see what it's all about.

Basically, Flask is React: it makes views easy, but you figure out all the other crap. Django is like uh.. Ember maybe? You do things it's way.

A good resource for learning Python is the Python thread. We're all very helpful over there

.

Also, what Lumpy said about Django vs Flask is right. But there's a wrinkle. Django can be unopinionated, its just that people tend to use Django because it can do out of the box what you've got to glom a bunch of libraries together to do in Flask.

Here's a complete Django project for serving a Hello World page (actually from an older version but the idea is the same on Django 2.0):

Python code:

import sys


from django.conf import settings


settings.configure(
    DEBUG=True,
    SECRET_KEY='thisisthesecretkey',
    ROOT_URLCONF=__name__,
    MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES=(

    ),
)

There's not really much reason to use jQuery at this point, unless you still need to support IE8 or something. At this point, the jQuery way of accomplishing most tasks usually isn't much easier or better than the vanilla JS way of doing the same things, and jQuery's starting to show its age in ways that add just a bit of extra clunkiness.

darthbob88: Oct 13, 2011; YOSPOS

AngularJS question: Is there any reason I wouldn't be able to use Angular expressions inside another directive? I'm trying to create a carousel using this plugin and this config. It'll print item.logo and item.title just fine, and outputs {"foo":"bar", "baz": "qux"} for item.pages, but the ng-repeat just prints nothing. I can't find any good explanation anywhere else.

code:

  <ui-carousel slides="siteConfig.menu" slides-to-show="6" slides-to-scroll="4" initial-slide="1" class="ui-carousel">
                            <carousel-item>
                                <img ng-src="{{item.logo }}" alt="{{item.title}}">
                                {{item.pages}}
                                   <a class="sql-menu-item"
                                       href="{{page}}"
                                       target="_self" ng-repeat="name in item.pages">
                                        {{name}}
                                    </a>
				</carousel-item>
                        </ui-carousel>

E: Apparently this is a known issue with transcluding ng-repeat. Might be able to use this to push back again and get us using something other than AngularJS.

Other than that, looks like a decent "My First React" project. More important would be to let us see the source for some hot hot code review action.

EDIT: link the source in the app!

I use bootstrap alot but I still don't know how some things work,.

I have a standard bootstrap page: one container, with one row with 2 columns. I want the columns to fill up the whole page 100% height. I thought I could do that using bootstrap sizing, but it's relative to the parent.

How do I make it take up the whole page?

Any help is appreciated.

My code is below, or you could just click my page

code:

<div class="container-fluid">
	<div class="row">
		<div class="col-sm-8">
			<div style="height: 100px; background-color: rgba(255,0,0,0.1);">
				<div class="h-25 d-inline-block" style="width: 120px; background-color: rgba(0,0,255,.1)">Height 25%</div>
				<div class="h-50 d-inline-block" style="width: 120px; background-color: rgba(0,0,255,.1)">Height 50%</div>
				<div class="h-75 d-inline-block" style="width: 120px; background-color: rgba(0,0,255,.1)">Height 75%</div>
				<div class="h-100 d-inline-block" style="width: 120px; background-color: rgba(0,0,255,.1)">Height 100%</div>
			</div>
        	</div>
		<div class="col-sm-4">     	
	        	<div style="height: 100px; background-color: rgba(255,0,0,0.1);" >
				<div class="mh-100" style="width: 100px; height: 200px; background-color: rgba(0,0,255,0.1);">Max-height 100%</div>
			</div>     
       		</div>
	</div>
</div>

Yes, normally you would resize the parent container. Are you trying to make the columns fill up the page but keep the parent row size fixed at 100px? I don't really understand why but you could do this by setting columns to 25vh, 100vh etc.
