Grump posted:Is Wordpress still the go-to for freelance developers or are more minimal libs like Gatsby replacing it? I can't speak for others, but I am extremely hot for Django/Wagtail. I can do some pretty powerful things on the backend, and the editing experience is decent for the client while still restricting them from fuckups rather robustly. The time spent setting up the hosting properly is negligible in comparison to the hours I previously spent wrestling Wordpress into doing something non-obvious. It's a bit like sandblasting a soup cracker for basic stuff, but you never end up running into that One Weird Request you just can't accomplish with the tools at hand.

Oh well it's a tiny site I guess I could customize a little bit, but that kind of defeats the purpose of Semantic UI in my mind.

32 million for a website Is this a case of "we're gonna go with this company even though everyone else bid way less because my sister's husband's brother in law owns the company and it's totally not sketchy" or is it a "lol lets see how much we can scam of out them?"

One of those big consulting firms. I'm from the DC area; it's full of them. They recruit guys directly from college who have generic degrees to be consultants or analysts. Not sure what they do. I think a lot of it is knowing their way around the Federal acquisitions process, then subcontracting work out to smaller companies.

Guess this explains why my inbox has been inundated with messages from Accenture recruiters over the past month or so. Lots of heads must have rolled. There are definitely some boneheaded moments in here from Accenture (only mobile and desktop sites in TYOOL 2019?  ), but a project this botched always has guilty parties on both sides.

On my planet these companies are full of people with math, physic, statistic degrees, they work maybe 9 or more hours. Work is done by buying smart people for cheap and overworking / rushing to the end. The result is probably weighted down with a lot of technical debts and is unmaintainable. They train these people to become cultist, brainwashing them that they work for the best company of the world, making they feel bad if they are the first to exit the office to go back home. Smart overworked people exploited to death. Bill by the hour to produce a huge margin. People that smart enough change to different type of companies. I have never worked in these places, I am just repeating what I have heard about them.

They royally hosed up by letting Accenture also be the project managers and lead them around by their dicks. If I've learned one thing its: don't let the fox guard the chicken coop. They should have hired a separate firm (obviously not recommended by Accenture) to do the project management and possibly the acceptance testing to keep any contractor under a tight leash.

They've got an office in my city & they took a few people (mid-level devs) from one of my old workplaces when they were on one of their hiring rounds. Obviously experiences are different for different people, and it's a huge company, but all the people I knew left within 9 months after doing absolutely nothing for that entire time period. They were put onto teams that were attached to gov contracts. The teams were about 2:1 project managers:devs. And they just sat on their arses. Seemed absolutely bizarre to me, but Accenture seems to be an entity built to generate cash from tendering, so hooray for parasitic capitalism I guess, watch those taxes at work

Whats the easiest way to dynamically generate pages based on a template from a flat database of info? For example I have 200,000 rows X 60 columns of data on flowers in different regions and want to up my SEO for my flower-sales website by generating thousands of pages about flowers in different cities and states. (e.g. a page about Flower A in Florida, Flower B in Florida, etc.) I feel like there's probably already a pretty good solution for this, but I couldn't find a mostly all-in-one solution. For background, I'm okay at python and not very useful at anything else, but I'll learn whatever to get it done.

Something like Flask could potentially be pretty good for you. It's very simple to understand and write (it's just a Python library) and the documentation is great (check out the tutorial). If I understand your needs correctly, then all you need is a html template and then a few lines of Python code with Flask to dynamically get info about a flower from your database and pass it into the template.

I wouldn't use Flask or anything like that. This doesn't sound like any sort of dynamic data. I'd just come up with an HTML template, then write a simple script to generate an HTML file for each flower, then slap that up on some static hosting somewhere. For templating you could use jinja, or roll your own if the pages are simple enough.

I got frozen in a cavern, but after a recent earthquake my body was released, and I defroze from the block of ice where I was trapped. After checking the internet I found this thing, ELK, the elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana stack. Looks like something that can help many of my ice-age era problems, so I tried to install it, then make it parse apache error log files. It ended freezing the whole computer. It does things I need, promise things I want, perfect things I desire and connect with things I already did. A crossroad that I seems destined to visit. What the people opinion on this? Does this need his own separate machine? Can be it integrated on a application in a lightweight way?

If I use semantic-ui-react and semantic-ui-css, is there anything I have to do in my webpack config to make sure the CSS is grabbed during the build process? I used to use a static version of the CSS (directly referencing it in the HTML), thought it'd be better to make it part of the packages (so as to keep it up-to-date) and now everything is broken  Edit: I did add import 'semantic-ui-css/semantic.min.css' in my index.tsx file

WebSockets seem pretty popular these days but it always felt like a very low-level tool that needs to be wrapped in a library in order to truly offer good business value for app developers, without reinventing all sorts of wheels (retry logic, security, etc etc). Is there some industry standard higher level library on top of WebSockets that serves such a function? I can certainly find libraries that use WebSockets but none seem to be very widely used. socket.io seems the most popular but also rather unmaintained and I am not entirely sure that its feature set really offers that much useful value. Am I missing something? EssOEss fucked around with this message at 09:39 on May 1, 2019 |

I created a few years ago at my university a protocol called Woopsa which works pretty well. It's not websockets-based but uses a kind of blocking GET request and allows you in turn to very easily publish an entire object structure, including publish/subscribe. It's now maintained by the company owned by my ex-professor. https://www.woopsa.org Just make sure to use my fork as I corrected a bug, and they haven't pulled my request yet. https://github.com/woopsa-protocol/Woopsa/pull/41 Not an industry standard but it's in the "works as it should, doesn't need much more work" stage.

Weird browser bug: Chrome (and only chrome) loads my page then promptly jumps to about :blank without any warning, network error or explanation. It's not public but I could try to make a reproducer that is. It's an Aurelia powered site but googling finds nothing. Maybe it's this but I have no idea what would be triggering it. Is there a way to breakpoint chrome when window.location changes?

But it's driving me crazy. This is a React app, I use TypeScript and yarn. I installed semantic-ui-react and semantic-ui-css (because I don't really care about customizing the theme, it's a small personal website). I also added the "import "semantic-ui-css/semantic.min.css"" statement in my index.tsx file. That's all the documentation says you have to do. But that seems weird to me because then there's no CSS reference in the index.html file under wwwroot. Since I know gently caress all about packaging, I asusmed that the CSS must be bundled in the bundle.js file? If not, then there's a problem because semantic.min.css isn't copied to there for me to reference in the html file. Is there something I should be doing in my webpack config? Right now all it does for CSS is this: code:The crazy part is that, as the saying goes, It Works On My Machine (tm) ! This is what it looks like on my dev PC:  And this is how it looks like on my server:  They all pull from the same repo and from the same branch. I build everything from the server using the same commands (yarn install etc). This makes no sense to me! I'm sure there's something utterly stupid I must be doing but I have no idea what.
