it hasn’t existed since last year, but it’s eye opening

I can go through my own comments and make you a list for starters

depends if they’re buying your weapons or not i guess

and which do you think it would get better under?

I’m up to 537 lines of server code, 2278 lines in my script, and 226 in my API interfacing, I’m actually super proud of it haha.

But you’re totally right, there are things I read that I just have no clue what they even mean or if I should know it, and probably use all the wrong terminology. I feel like I should probably go back to the start and find a course to teach me properly. I’ve probably learned so many bad habits. It doesn’t help that I learned JS before ES6 so I need to force myself not to use var and force myself to understand and use arrow functions.

I absolutely know that the way I’ve written the program will make some people cringe, but I don’t know any better. There are a few sections where I’m like “would that actually be what a real, commercial web app would do, or have I convoluted everything?”

For example, the entire thing is just one 129-line html file. I just hide and unhide divs when I need a new page or anything gets changed. I’m assuming that’s a bad thing, but it works, it looks good, and I don’t know any better!

For a personal tool that runs locally I can handle some bloat in the name of safety!

Awesome, thanks for the info. Definitely super useful for debug mode whilst I’m fixing and tampering!

Because I’m relatively new at this type of thing, how does that appear on the front end? I’m using a js/html front end and a jsnode backend. Would I just see a popup before I make any changes?

I did when I made the query a year ago. Dumdum sleep deprived brain thought it would look more organised this way

Me only know caveman. Not have big brain only smooth brain

Thanks, I’ll look into it! I’m interested in why you got downvoted though! 😅

It is after the event that I find that postgres’ WAL journalling is off by default 🙃

Oh I did that like a year ago.

And then last night had an error that led me back near this code and stupidly thought “hey it’d look neater if those numbers were in order”

My only education is a super helpful guy from Reddit who taught me the basics of setting up a back end with nodejs and postgres. After that it’s just been me, the references and stack overflow.

I have NO education about actual practises and protocol. This was just a tool I made to make my work easier and faster, which I check in and update every few months to make it better.

I just open vscode, run node server.js to get started, and within server.js is a direct link to my database using the SQL above. It works, has worked for a year or two, and I don’t know any other way I should be working. Happy to learn though!

(but of course this has set me back so much it would have been quicker not to make the tool at all)

Wait you deleted your last argument defending Russia yesterday, to replace it with a whole new one? Because you were wrong? 😂

Including deleting everyone else’s comments including mine. What was that about abusing admin privileges you were talking about yesterday?

Ffvii

Oh cool the last time Russia invaded Ukraine, wow, great, good topic to use when defending the current invasion of Ukraine 👍

One accident vs hundreds of russian warheads killing civilians constantly because they started a war. And you take the side of the Russians because one accident must mean that Ukraine is constantly killing their own on purpose?

So now when more innocents are killed, you gloss over the fact that Russians are killing innocents daily, you gloss over that it could have been an accident, you gloss over the fact that these accidents only happen because Russia is invading the country so they need missiles to defend themselves, and you arrive at “they kill their own people on purpose”

You have a disgusting, warped view on the world.

“In the meantime, we must not forget: it was Russia that launched the invasion of Ukraine and it is Russia that is responsible for bringing war to our country”

Welcome back.
