Anybody here use dirpy? I am trying to download a song and dirpy will only download the first 30 seconds or so. Not sure if I am doing something wrong or dirpy is defective

@here

@Why Tea same benefit, mostly of things like grunt or gulp afaik.. task automation, minify, test running, compactify, linting, etc.

@Dan iiii Interesting. So is the consensus that it's superior to the existing tools/techniques for minifying, compacting, linting, etc? Or just another way to do it that's popular at the moment? For context I work in concert with our Dev / DevOps team(s) and manage some custom development work / manage those devs. I have *some* influence with our core Dev team but decisions on what to use are from their leads / and department head. If something is better than what they're using now, me suggesting they try it can't hurt. My team and I do app tier stuff much more so than front-end development, but anything to help the team is worth looking at.

For more context my work is in the Security / Authentication & Authorization part of the stack/platform. Even more context, a couple of the biggest companies in the world use security code I and my team wrote and designed.

If anybody knows Webpack and would be willing to help me understand how to work with it, it would be much appreciated.

https://github.com/rrmarsh1994/todoapp I am trying to learn the DOM right now and i am making a simple app that has a list of things to do, a check box to signal completion and a delete button to delete the completed to do, I am able to get the app creating to dos, having a checkbox but not a delete button that shows or functions, on lines 31-38 i have given my best effort at what I think im supposed to do but im not even close, could someone help me work through this? For someone who knows how this stuff it should be a fairly low teir problem, thanks in advance

look at the app.js folder

@Bobby - Pa taking a look now

@Bobby - Pa The code seems to be working fine for me. I have some suggestions if you want to hear them, but I can successfully create and delete items.

let me know if I'm not understanding the problem you're having

sorry i forgot to update the thread, late last night i was able to understand my mistake, my scope was off on my delete button event

thanks for taking a look tho @Deleted User i appreciate

it

Who here can tell me how I can load a Pug template without compiling to HTML using Webpack?

Don't forget to Defrag your drives weekly 👍

Do you have a good program for that? I just got a new laptop, and I can't remember what I used on the old one @Gawsh Darn Goy#4287

Anyone know much about discord?

Hey guys im getting an error in the console that my collection.html isnt calling the state i declared for it when i hit the collection tab in the top right corner. Could someone take a look and give me some advice on what to do? https://github.com/rrmarsh1994/Bloc-Jams-AngularJS

@here ☝🏻

@Bobby - Pa Copypasta exact error?

sounds good

screenshot of error @sigruna14

Idk. I'm looking through the code and it looks right, but I really don't know this tech you're using. The error makes it look like the state isn't getting recognized somehow. @Bobby - Pa

<div class="links-container">
<a ui-sref="collection.html" class="navbar-link">Collection</a>
</div>

This is in your index.html

maybe you need ui-sref="templates/collection.html"?

darn, I arranged a meeting tomorrow with my mentor so don't spend too much time looking into it, I appreciate the sencond look at my issue tho sig , thanks @sigruna14

yeah ill try it let me update u

nah same error comes up except it says "templates/collection.html" could not resolve

hmph

Looks like you're learning Angular 1. Just so you know, they're on like Angular 4 now.

It was completely re-done.

The only real reason to learn this is basically to work on already-existing projects that were done with Angular 1.

really?

That's what it looks like to me.

I guess I could be wrong but this doesn't look like the kind of Angular syntax I know.

And it explicitly says AngularJS.

AngularJS = Angular 1.

I'll ask about it, I still have plenty to go in the angular library module I'm on, hopefully it becomes more current so if i need help it will be easier

www.angular.io

This is the latest Angular.

ahh ok, yeah this is angular one then, clearly stated that this is angularJS

interenting, didnt know that , thanks

Are you able to DDoS automated online phone services? It makes theoretical sense but does anyone know if it's actually possible?

I can find out.

Can anyone @here speak to the value of taking a programming class? I'm interested to learn some basic programming but I wouldn't consider myself tech savvy and I doubt I could learn through reading or watching videos on my own

@StrawberryArmada this is a good, common conversation so let's keep it public.

First: what do you want to be able to do with programming? Be as specific or general as you like. It's a broad skillset.

I have a computer science degree and let me tell you it didn't really come naturally to me the first time I took a class (almost failed). Anything that requires a lot of skill requires patience and practice

I say "let's keep it public" because normally I would do a voice chat.

@StrawberryArmada talk to Lukas bro

Creating bots and doing web design would be useful

If that even involves programming much

I honestly don't know

Why do you think you can't learn on your own?

I've tried to learn stuff like Python and Java myself with books and videos but

I think I lack the inclination to get it without more guidance

What don't you "get"? Honest question.

I have the option to take a class at school

I really don't understand what programming languages even are

I don't know how people figure what to put in and where to put it

I can't really tell if there's supposed to be some big list of premise commands

I getcha.

Or if people invent stuff and the computer just figures it out somehow

I don't even know how computers work really

OK, let me start by saying that "knowing how to program" is very much a continuum.

It's a huge skillset. For example, I make applications primarily for automated analysis and visualization of scientific data.

I don't know nuffin about languages like C and Clojure, and I don't need to right now

Similarly I know very little about networking

the "college question" when it comes to programming is a tricky one

I went the STEM route. I have two masters' degrees in engineering. But I didn't really know anything about coding until I got out of school

I taught myself. But those skills that I taught myself are used literally 10X more than anything I learned in school

I probably could have skipped all that college altogether

similarly the CIO where I work barely has a high-school diploma, and one of our mutual friends is a self-made multimillionaire who taught himself some tech stuff and got into the phone-dialer business.

Incidentally I'll be consulting with him to answer @Procella Eques 's question

I've also met people with CS degrees who can't actually solve problems using code

think about programming this way: different languages have different core philosophies and strengths/weaknesses

what I can do in server-side javascript, I can also do with Python, more or less. But some problems will be easier to solve with Python, others with Javascript.

Once you learn a single language, others come much easier

What does it mean to learn a programming language

I started out with PHP, then went to Perl, then C#, then Python and JavaScript

How similar is it to natural language if at all

It means you can solve problems using the grammar and syntax of that language.

"learning" is a constant process

that's the joy of it, but it takes some getting used to

So there's rules like grammar in the way you put commands in and commands are like vocabulary?

yes

Glad I studied linguistics for once

one thing that frustrates many people starting out (including me) is that the computer will do *exactly what you tell it*

you might not understand what you're telling it at first, but it will always faithfully execute your commands as long as your code is valid 😃

don't think of programming as something exotic or big-brain. it's not

at the same time, don't try to learn by diving into the code of some large project. you'll be asking yourself way too many questions to make any progress

here's my recommendation. First, tell yourself you're going to learn. tell yourself you're not going to quit

there are going to be times you'll want to totally give up, because something you think should be simple just doesn't work.

but the effort you expend solving that problem will be valuable in the end because you will learn a lot of tricks and gain a deeper understanding in the process
