Winter is Cuming posted:Ah, DBZ websites. So many ripped-off pages and so much stolen content claimed as my own. This is all that remains of my first: I read about this thing on hackernews earlier and the dude running it seems pretty committed to the idea of keeping stuff friendly. I have fond memories of teaching little dudes and dudettes how to make their very first static HTML sites a while back, and I remember even then thinking that the part that really sucked was that all these kids were going to have to figure out how to get and upload files to hosting so it is cool that this exists now and I hope it keeps going/takes off. Additionally, I'm so glad I now have control over this very obviously  domain -- http://titties.neocities.org/

Not saying it is a billion dollar a year enterprise or anything, but there are a fair number of people making a living by having people watch them play videogames.

Mr. Wynand posted:This used to be the case for the longest time, but since we now live in the future, font embedding is actually supported quite well. Embedding works but it often ends up looking pretty poor. Loads of jagged edges and other poo poo, and you usually have to implement some really stupid hacks to 'fix' them up. e; Or just sit around being like 'oh well, guess my fonts are going to look like the dude who cut the blocks had the shakes.'

Knyteguy posted:What machines are you guys using for your web dev machines? At work I use an HP EliteBook 8540w, and at home I just use my gaming PC. The more I get into the newer web technologies like NodeJS, Ruby (I know Ruby isn't really new), etc I'm finding myself wanting a Mac. I'm also very interested in becoming involved in Apple App Store development. You could always get a second monitor and just throw an Ubuntu VM on one of them. I use all 3 in my daily life and I really prefer my Mac for doing dev work, though Ubuntu is a close second and could probably be #1 if I spent more time on those machines and tweaked them just the way I like them as I have done to my Mac.

kedo posted:Anyone aware of any articles or usage statistics for back links? I don't mean backlinks in the SEO sense, but literal "<< Back" type links. I find them to be unnecessary since they duplicate basic browser functionality, but I have a client who might need numbers to be convinced. If you're dealing with / passing context then a 'back' link can sometimes make sense I guess (assuming it is doing something to work with/around that), though it probably doesn't in this case. I doubt you'll be able to find real hard numbers on it though.

an skeleton posted:Can we ask angularJS questions here? I had an issue where I have a ng-dialog modal box opening and its set button is disabled based on if there are any invalid ng-patterns in the modal. The issue is there are fields that show/hide based on what you select before you open the modal. So these fields might be hidden and ng-disabled, but they are still registering as being ng-invalid so they invalidate the whole form, disabling the "set" button. Hope this makes sense-- I'm a bit amateur so I appreciate any help I get. I'm sure you could ask this here but this thread exists too and may be more helpful: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3571035

down with slavery posted:Eh, I disagree. You should use CSS to make the website look appropriate on devices based on viewport width. There's really no reason to allow zooming and in many ways a user needing to zoom is a sign that you've hosed up your mobile site. That being said, there are some edge case accessibility issues where allowing zooming might be ideal. I mean, some people have poor eyesight or maybe fat fingers and will need to zoom in to read poo poo/make buttons bigger. What harm do you see in allowing a zoom? Taking away a default and expected feature that has real and, honestly, fairly obvious use-cases seems pretty stupid at face value.

Brb y'all letting my grandmother know that she can't zoom on a website because disabling core features of her phone provides a more native experience and that all she has to do is override some settings in her user-agent stylesheet.

down with slavery posted:If your grandmother can't read 16pt text, chances are she's using her phone's accessibility features, which propagate to the browser. Of course, the accessibility features, such as the ubiquitous and hyper-intuitive pinch-to-zoom which you have disabled in the name of a better user experience.

obstipator posted:User experience is primarily about expectations. When you're using safari on an iDevice, you expect to be able to zoom. When the user can't zoom they get frustrated/confused. But not if you fool the user into thinking they are in a native app with your ~*expert design sense*~ first.

Looking around, I feel like I made a mistake because I'm having a hell of a time finding a control panel of any kind. I know how to install wordpress (jesus, it's usually just an "install wp" button) - did I buy some kind of training wheels package that assumes I can't even do that part? You made a mistake in that you gave GoDaddy money without being under duress, yes.

Ah, yeah, if you are using SCSS comments you should run all of your CSS through YARP after you compile it down to CSS and then print all of that out, run it through your washing machine, scan it with a GoPro run some OCR on it and push that output directly to live from there.

If I'm looking to host smallish (500mb?) data payloads and serve them as regular in browser downloads to ~a few thousand users a month what's my best option if I want to keep prices low and availability/speeds high? Not really looking to gently caress with torrents or free download sites like megaupload or whatever and I'm not super familiar with the landscape of AWS, Google Cloud, whatever Microsoft's thing is, etc. so hoping someone who is can point me in the right direction.

Skandranon posted:How FAST do you need these downloads to be? Depending on how many concurrent downloads you expect, you can probably get by on just a free AWS/Azure tier system hosting a website with the files on it. Don't even really need to host the website there, just link to the files. Moderately fast, it really doesn't matter as long as people don't notice that it is incredibly slow. I figured I'd be in free tier for a while, should I just use whatever looks cheapest from AWS S3/Google Cloud/whatever Azure calls their poo poo? Or is there some kind of super special subservice within these that people use for hosting larger static files?

Mush Man posted:After doing a little bit of research, it looks likes the current alternatives to PHP are LYME, the Elixir route; MEAN, the JavaScript route; or Django, the Python route. Are there any good comparisons between these out there? Would free hosting be compatible with them all? You should do whatever you want, but if you go the elixir route you should really use Phoenix.
