ProgrammingRe: Recommend A Laptop For Programming by cixak95211: 6:47pm On Sep 05, 2020

What about Dell laptop with the following specs;.
4gig RAM,500g HDD,4th Gen,1.60GHz,corei5 4200U..
Exactly as poster before me said, start with this, . . when you start going too deep, be sure to upgrade. I use Jetbrains products
and always have the editors open . . Webstorm + PhpStorm already takes about 2GB during active coding.
Brave browsers with more than 50 tabs open, consumes about 1.7GB . . and 4 gb is gone . . I bet you cannot even do this because the OS still needs a bit of memory for its own thing. Well for now, the quickest upgrade you can do is get more RAM, at least 8gb [poor but manageable]
and then later get an SSD for insane boot time and app load times. Then you can relax for a while.

I can see two GHz.. 1.60GHz,2.3GHz....is the second one turbo boost or what?
Is it every system that have Bluetooth??
Check device manager [you can Google how to check it for your operating system] and it will show you all hardware available for your machine
including bluetooth or not.
The first one is the base speed, 1.60GHz and the second one is the boost speed aka turbo boost: 2.3GHz which mean
when under strenous task, your processor will turbo boost to that speed, to deliver more power, for a short while though
If it stays at turboboost for long, it will limiting itself by clocking down, so it doesnt burn out
if you check system performance and your processor is always turbo-boosting with minimal workload, it's a sign that you need to upgrade, either the generation
or better still, the model. ie. i5 => i7 etc

I appreciate, boss. I'd really like you to point out some resources on debugging codes (especially YouTube videos or ebooks) if possible.

I have always known that it's better to teach one how to fish rather than giving him fish, so I would love it if you give directions on what to do just like you did above. Let me send you a PM. I don't know if your mail works, mine do.
Thank you.
Nah, that's a burner email. I guess if you use the follow button, we'll be able to exchange comms pretty effectively.

The one I later bought was a Dell E series..specs;4gig RAM,500g HDD,4th Gen,1.60GHz,corei5 4006U...
Hope that U doesn't mean??
U means Ultra-low power models of the intel processor lines
, so it saves you battery power but you sacrifice performance from lower clock speeds.
as you can see the base clock speed is 1.60GHz
The T versions would start at base 2.3 GHz and the regular version around 3.4 GHz or so
There are often incremented like so but dont let it bother you too much. There is more to it than the U or even the 4 which stands for 4th generation

Thank you, boss, for your help. You're the real MVP. I'll like you to mentor me Node.js. I'm actually good with PHP, but still picking up on Node.js
See you solved it, great! I was kinda bogged down with work and couldn't come online.
I rechecked the codebase and see you cleaned up a bit. At least, that makes for improvement. One step at a time.

If you have free internet, i'll like you to very much watch other contents on debugging, cos when you get to working in a production environment,
you'll spend most of your time debugging "other people's errors" and those you created yourself.

As per the mentoring, we'll see how it goes. I am always bogged down with work, but if you do run into issues, just let me know. Trust me, i'll not solve them for you, i'll just tell you what to do and you'll have to solve it yourself [to learn].

Cheers.
ProgrammingRe: Help With Node.js App Deployment To Heroku (Solved!!!) by cixak95211:
Not errors that made your app crash, but just point to other errors in your app.

App js line 24
should be "extended"

methodOverride not needed except in special cases,
were you just copying and pasting from the tutorial?

line 40
morgan is using dev. heroku will run natually in production, and morgan would not log anything meaningful,
better to use a custom logger or at least, morgan combined format

i can see you r doing schema validation in your models, it is way better to handle input validation at the very first layer,
so that errors are caught very early . . instead of troubling javacript all the way down the layers, only to fail a validation just before insertion into DB...
for a quick fix, a package like Joi comes to mind

middlware auth.js line 5 and co.

you dont need to an else statement, if the "if block" contains a return statement. after your if block, just write the other condition, since it will always return if the "if block is activated"

you followed the MVC pattern partially, no controllers. . .
plus you need to start learnign EcmaScript 6+, as it will make your life easier
and code easy to follow thru

and next time, pls add a sample .env file, so people can clone and run your project correctly. that was the only thing holding me back,
as i am too busy to scan the whole codebase for "process.env" annotations.
ProgrammingRe: Help With Node.js App Deployment To Heroku (Solved!!!) by cixak95211: 2:21pm On Sep 02, 2020
Debugging itself is an art that has to be learned. The crashalytics gave you a file where the error is contained.
I can help you but first you must help yourself.

step 1. Login to heroku bash and
step 2. "cat" that file and read the log, to understand why the error happened

Then come back and report what you discovered.

Truth be told, all the Stages and Level you mentioned above costs a lot (including extra Man-Power, Skills, etc) of which Most clients aren't so much willing to care for.

No one or company with 40% of the above WorkFlow would come here advertising a website for ₦20,000 (don't worry, I know it could be a lot less) With Domain + Hosting having everything Unlimited.
To support what you said, even before the cost, must come the awareness and understanding. The 20k gang do not even know that such workflows exist. Whenever tentative clients post job offerings here, all you here is , "i can do it, contact me, etc"; without a rigorous understanding of what the project entails.
Goes to show that all the 20k contracts usually have this sort of "happy" ending . . . premium tears!

ProgrammingRe: Should I Build A Forum From Scratch Or Use Wordpress by cixak95211:
pcguru1 has given the best advice . . if you have no time, pick up the ready-made one and move on . . .
I happen to be the 'custom-made' guy, as I like my solutions custom-built, from stuffs as simple as authentication to the
complex parts like, load balancing and concurrency in data ops.
For the hell of it, my in-app notifications are custom-made and do not rely on the so-called libraries e.g. Toast, Notistack etc;
and they work just as nice.
Op, dont do this though!

I just want to know if there is a way I can think it and learn the code without going to Google for help
Your first few years, will see you going to the internet, not just Google, for help.
But with practice comes perfection, if you see yourself doing the same thing everyday, it's just a matter of time,
you'll be able to do them by heart, including coding.
They have given you superb answers up there. Once the logic has become part and parcel of you,
you only need to go to the internet to lookup "documentation" ONLY
