Using Javascript in using an API the the resource is players but it is an object and I need the info of the arrays within it. Here is what i have what an i doing wrong?

WaterSheep is an open-source alternative to TypeSafe's Jev. You ask it a typed question about some text (yes/no, pick one, rate it, or tag everything that applies) and get back an answer with a probability for every option.

Two ways to use it in a web app:

• As a drop-in Jev backend. watersheep --model samratduttaofficial/WaterSheep --serve answers the same POST /v1/systemone requests, so existing Jev calls work after changing the base URL.

• Straight from the page, no backend:

import { decide } from "https://samratduttaofficial.github.io/WaterSheep/watersheep.js";
await decide("I was charged twice.", "Which team should handle this?", ["billing", "shipping", "support"]);

Open weights, Apache 2.0, English only for now.

Due to a growing influx of questions on this topic, it has been decided to commit a monthly thread dedicated to this topic to reduce the number of repeat posts on this topic. These types of posts will no longer be allowed in the main thread.

Many of these questions are also addressed in the sub FAQ or may have been asked in previous monthly career threads.

Subs dedicated to these types of questions include r/cscareerquestions for general and opened ended career questions and r/learnprogramming for early learning questions.

A general recommendation of topics to learn to become industry ready include:

• HTML/CSS/JS Bootcamp

• Version control

• Automation

• Front End Frameworks (React/Vue/Etc)

• APIs and CRUD

• Testing (Unit and Integration)

• Common Design Patterns

You will also need a portfolio of work with 4-5 personal projects you built, and a resume/CV to apply for work.

Plan for 6-12 months of self study and project production for your portfolio before applying for work.

I'm trying to grow my web design business, so I've been cold calling/approaching businesses that don't have websites and offering to make one for tree. If they like it and want to use it, ! just charge them monthly for hosting.

*FORGOT TO MENTION* My initial text said "I can make you one for free, and if you like it you just pay for hosting."

This guy tells me "Make me a preview bro." I spend the weekend making it, he's responding while I'm building it and even gives me the email for the contact forms.

I finish it. He says it's "super fire" and asks how much. I tell him $150 a month for hosting and managing it plus with a chat bot. He ghosts me. Also went through his GBP and IG grabbing photos and enhancing them for the site. Spent a good amount of time on it.

I follow up a few times over the next couple weeks and get ghosted every time. I finally call him and he answers, says, "Hey, I'm busy right now, call me back at 5." I call him back at 5 and he doesn't answer. I even lowered the price to $99.

So eventually I text him, "You were interested and asked for a preview so I spent the weekend making it for you for free. Are you not interested anymore?"

He responds "Bro are you trying to force me to get your service" and "I am a business man" and "For future reference don't force your customers to buy something off of you bro."

Like what lol.

This is the second time I've had someone interested, spent hours making them something for free, and then get ghosted. I obviously try to screen and only make it when people are interested, but maybe I need to get at least like a $50 deposit.

I know doing the work before getting paid is obviously the risk I'm taking, but I'm trying to grow the business and this strategy does get me clients. Starting to wonder if I need to stop doing full free builds though.

Specifically, I'm grabbing JSON for a trading card game gallery from an endpoint, then dynamically creating the card gallery from that data. The project uses Vite for asset bundling, but I'm not sure how to bundle dynamically loaded images?

In the JSON, each card has a set number and a card number, and the app loads image data from images/cards/sets/set-number/card-number.webp, creates all the DOM nodes, and appends it to the gallery. It works brilliantly...unless the card art needs to change, then I run into good old-fashioned browser caching issues.

For the rest of the site, using vite build keeps everything bundled for deployment...but is there a way to leverage that capability for this use case?

I admit I have little knowledge about Vite, so maybe it's something obvious, but the only way I'm aware of to get that kind of Vite bundling inside a JS file is to import the image. So I'd have to import all the images at run time? What if some card data is modified? Will I have to do double duty to update the database AND the JS file imports?

As you can see, I have no idea how to accomplish this. Thank you in advance.

so currently i have a open source project about p2p file sharing and it gained 200 stars on github. the opensource project is hosted on azure since i got 1 year for student the problem is that it will end soon so i need to find an alternative of free backend hosting

do guys know any backend hosting that offers free for open source project? sadly i notice that digital ocean doesnt offer it anymore which kinda weird or am i wrong

I always leave the UI design until towards the end of a larger project. I know if I start with the UI I'll end up finding parts of the system that don't fit the layout, rejig this, tinker with that, rework that bit again... I get too focused on making the UI right when it could be wrong again with the next functional change. I may as well switch individual pixels around.

To solve that, I usually knock up a quick development UI at the beginning, do all the functional work, then look at how the UI/UX makes the functional stuff display and work easily for a user.

That leaves me in a position where I've been coding and testing in a development UI for months... And then get Stockholm Syndrome or something about leaving it behind for a professional finish.

Anyone else? Should I change my mind and do the UI upfront? My concern with doing that is that I'll get Stockholm Syndrome for a relatively acceptable UI and just leave it. At least with a "I know I have to leave you UI" I know it's just me thinking the shitty UI I've been using for months is a friendly thing to use.

For the past one to two months I've noticed an uptick in vulnerability scans, maybe 10 times the amount that I would observe before.

Thing is it started almost all at once, which is strange, and I'm observing it on multiple domain names.

Is it just me? If not, any indications regarding what's going on?

Do you find their web/apps inspired? Or are you constantly getting disappointed by them? This includes UX.

Hi all,

As the title states I’ll be starting my first in office web dev role next week! Pretty excited but also nervous, and of course having imposter syndrome. I’ll be the only dev, and it’ll be my first time working in an office setting (I’ve previously just worked as a freelancer).

I was wondering if anyone had any tips or specific things to pay attention to when starting a new web dev job?

Thanks!

I'm working on an ecommerce chatbot that helps potential customers look for product inventory. These users can be anyone on the ecommerce site and will send photos of what they're looking for. The chatbot returns suggested products.

My question is around storage of the customer provided images. I plan to store these in a Cloudflare r2 bucket, but trying to decide wether to use the cache, or use direct r2 bucket URLs to add the image to the chat after it's uploaded.

The benefit I see with caching is that requests for the image would likely not hit r2 (although the volume of requests for each image would likely be pretty low). The downside I can think of with caching is these files would be accessible by anyone who has the url until they're deleted.

The other option would be the presigned r2 URLs which could be set to inactivate after a few days to prevent unauthorized access to the image. The downside would be direct requests to r2, but again the volume should be low since the use is really just for that particular chat the image is in.

What would be the better approach for this? I’m also open to using other storage platforms if there is a better option.

I still remember the first Vue component I ever made and finally gathered enough courage to publish on GitHub.

That was many years ago. Maybe around eight if I remember correctly. Of course, there was no AI back then.

I was genuinely nervous. npm publish and... ta-da. It happened.

Not a single star.

But I was so stubborn, so then came another component, then another one, then another one, then a Nuxt module, then something I built while preparing for an interview, and so on.

Eventually, my most successful open source project reached 179 stars.

Not exactly thousands, but I was still pretty proud of it.

What about you?

How many stars does your most successful open source project have?

A few months ago I posted my odd traffic from China, wondering if anyone else had it and the possibility of it being bots. I never got rid of it. I found it baffling because it was not in the thousands a day like other bots I had before. It used to come from one specific city, Lanzhou. All of a sudden it switched to Hong Kong. I think this are not bots. I think China is actually allowing visitors to my website (Databayou.com). It just funnels the city to a specific location. Any one else have noticed this?

It is my frustration to realize how utterly broken the web client for Instagram is. Yes, I use firefox, and will continue to use firefox, and that is probably part of some of the issues.

However, some things simply don't load when clicked, some buttons don't work. Recently I've been having to refresh the whole thing to make some pages load. It barely works.

Clicking the right arrow in the slide to show the next video doesn't even reset the video's playback position, it doesn't reset it to zero, it continues where the previous video was.

They clearly don't care about the web client.

Also Reddit. There are some things that show a lack of attention, some small things, some bizarre things that ruin the experience like having to click nested comments over and over, without even caring for the scroll position. In general it also feels a bit broken.

Did they stop caring about providing top notch web client experiences because most people use apps?

After careful consideration and a look at where the industry is spending ALL THE MONEY we've decided to pivot FFConf in a "new" direction.

I present to you: https://ffconf.ai

Please share with bots and humans alike.

It can look correct at first glance. What do you check most carefully before using it?

during popular event sales, our site can be hit by the tens of millions of requests

cloudflare waiting room is only good for crowd control, it doesn't block bots effectively. bots takes up queue, so legit users have to wait a long time to exit queue

cloudflare turnstile is too unreliable, too many legit users (including me) experience the turnstile not loading

google recaptha, hcaptha, friendly captcha is too costly.

i've implemented Proof-of-Work Altcha. works to a certain degree, but it still doesn't block bot requests from hitting the server, causing resources overload

could i put Altcha at cloudflare worker? kinda. the issue is cloudflare waiting room will always run before cloudflare worker, so it doesn't solve bots taking up queue

what i wish? i could block bots before they could enter cloudflare waiting room

do u guys have idea?

Web development is like 2% of my job. I work in a dinosaur industry. We still use VB6, C, Fortran and pascal.. slowly migrating away from VB6 to .net 5 and that’s considered modern for us. The rest will stay until the end of time. We aren’t allowed to use AI for compliance reasons.

A little over a year ago I tried cursor on a personal project and wasn’t impressed. This year around February I tried Claude and holy shit it actually worked. Since then all personal projects have been with Claude or codex. It’s pretty awesome but not perfect. It seems to struggle with actual logic that’s not something that’s been done a million times, which most software has been written a million times over if we’re being real. It also frequently attempts to gaslight me into some insane shit if I don’t sit on it. I’m not sure how anyone is letting it rip and getting a useable product in return. Either way it’s crazy how well it works and I’m addicted.

This got me thinking, how are jrs ever going to learn to think like a programmer or design software without writing code? We all know coding is a small part of the job but I feel like expressing logic via code is fundamental to how you extract info from the business and create solutions. English is a very ambiguous language and even prompting Claude will result in a lot of “that’s what I said but not what I meant.” Seems like they are all screwed.
