TROPHY CASE

Just released my first web app: 312Seasons by JBStevens6in webdev

[–]thematrix307 8 points9 points ago

Well here are a few criticisms.

  1. Dont make me create a username i hate having to remember these. Take my name + email instead.
  2. Site design is very dated
  3. Why does the page reload when you add a new event?
  4. Adding a new event is not intuitive. there should be a [+] to indicate it.

Best framework for a job seeker? by nostalgicBadgerin PHP

[–]thematrix307 11 points12 points ago

Just being proficient with at least one framework is a huge plus. This means that you understand the whole MVC architecture, and picking up another framework should be trivial.

You should have anything that is not web code outside of the web root. You can put it a folder up. Also, your database shouldn't be listening to any connections from the outside world, only local host

Load Balancing Web Server Question(s) by mrborisin web_design

[–]thematrix307 1 point2 points ago

Well I have never used any sort of managed servers with Load balancing.

There are two main ways that I have read about:

  • DNS load balancing. This is done at the DNS level; when the user requests www.yoursite.com, the dns server randomly gives back one of the two ip addresses that your servers use.

This approach is usually very easy to setup and use, but if one of the servers fail, the users that were connected to it will not be able to resolve the website until their DNS cache expires.

  • You can also have a hardware load balancer which is a more expensive solution. This load balancer is directly connected to your firewall or the internet, and then passes the connection through to one of your two servers.

If a server fails, the load balancer will fail over automatically, but it also needs the servers to keep state. There is usually no guarantee that when a user connects to server 1 they will get server 1 on the next request, so you need to keep state between them.

Sorry, that was a bit of a long answer. You can also build your own load balancer with a very easy gui using an open source software package called PFSense

Two questions on iOS dev by duffmanhbin Entrepreneur

[–]thematrix307 8 points9 points ago

Most good developers would not sign one of these. Ideas are a dime a dozen, and if they signed one every time someone pitched or discussed their idea, things could get hairy fast.

ethical question, seeking advice by dogstongueupmynosein startups

[–]thematrix307 0 points1 point ago*

That is a BS answer. EVERY SINGLE employer will be upset when a good employee leaves. Whether or not they act aggressive or angry is a different story. Finding and training good employees is a very expensive and time consuming process.

I have a nightly batch that fetches newsfeed info from social networks...it's timing out 'cuz it takes so long (for many many accounts). Is there a better way? by trackopolyin PHP

[–]thematrix307 0 points1 point ago

Twitter has a streaming API. This means that instead if having a job that runs once, you can have a job that runs all day and just listens for updates in real time.

Thats really the only long term answer. SSL Certs are like $10 at most places and doing any shortcuts might be OK for now but may break down the road.

Best psd2html company? by imjpin web_design

[–]thematrix307 1 point2 points ago

I used psd2html for about 20 pages 2 months ago and the experience was great. They used very modern tableless CSS layouts and sprites for images.

They also made sure it all looked great in every modern browser (including IE).

Best solution for user login system with different user types for different user permissions??? by skcin7in PHP

[–]thematrix307 2 points3 points ago

Generally the permissions that a user gets would be whatever the highest ranked group they are in would be. So if they are in both the "users" group and the "administrators" group, they would be able to do anything that an adminstrator can do.

And as for the banned group. I generally wouldnt even allow the user to log in, so as you are getting the users information, check if they are in a "banned" group and then redirect them to a notification page instead.
