Exactly my intention and I hope to learn more from you.

The chrome architecture seem quite simple but not all straightforward.
With the new v3 manifest and it's APIs

I want to really understand how to use node modules with the service worker. As we know chrome extensions SW isn't as it's web counterpart.

Let say in a situation where someone is bundling out a very complex extension.
Let me share some info here

ContentScript is injected into the host page, it can modify the host page's DOM but cannot modify the code and is also subjected to CORS issues. It can call some chrome.api sendMessage etc

Popup is the main extension you see on the toolbar, CORS does not apply to it, and it can call much more chrome.api than ContentScript

Background Worker has no DOM in it, but it has full access to all the chrome.api

Message Passing => This allows cross-communication between contentScript => Popup or Background Worker. e.g ContentScript cannot use the Notification or Tab API, so you need to sendMessage to Background Worker to call chrome.apis

Background workers has no concept of DOM, so depending on what you want to do, running node_modules in the background worker might be a bad idea, since it has no document object in it.

You can use React to create a Web extension and bundle the code in ContentScript and Popup. Background worker is only for request or chrome.api so it can simply listen to chrome.runtime.sendMessage event and trigger the code based on the event type


I hope that makes sense.

I got another offer this afternoon with a foreign company where someone referred me. The reason I still post here is to inspire developers out there.

I also wanted to note out something, some people would probably say I'm lucky because of my gender. Gender has nothing to do with this. Or maybe it does but not entirely.

The two companies I write for, I had to apply and show them samples of my work before receiving a response.

The Frontend developer job I got, I had to show them projects NOT list out I can do this, I can do that, no one is buying that.

The fourth job is from a mobile gaming company, the person referred me because I showed him my zeal to work and passion to learn from others.

Meanwhile, I intend to write an article title "Introduction To Technical Writing". It will explain the steps and process in getting into Technical Writing. I will also include materials and links to Technical Writing for free and where to apply for Technical Writing jobs. Since I have a lot on my hands, I will to post it between this week and next week.
Thank you for this, I always say this on NL, there's gigs as long as you're willingly to work.

But at least you know the Chrome extension architecture.

great job regardless.

I'm not sure of the requirements to get an account with them. But can't I link the wise account to Paystack?
I have never tried it, but ask them if you can supply a US ACH Account and if that works, chances is they will say yes, since it's charges very little fee.

Oh thanks.
Can Iink it to Paystack or Payoneer? Because the company said they can only pay me through the following means: Paystack, PayPal, Stripe, American bank.
US ACH is American Bank Account

Good Morning Developers and Tech people.

I have a little gist. So I finished the two project applications I was building. Mehn... It felt really good getting paid. I learnt a valuable lesson before getting paid.

Well I was initially given half of the payment before I started but I was careless in my spendings so it finished real quick. I was honestly frustrated and had to borrow from others to survive.

Well after getting payment for completion of both projects, I paid my debts, bought a lot of food stuff. Before then I use to eat out (one of the source of my careless spending). I bought food stuffs, shared with my younger sis in school.

Since then I was managing myself but you know the truth, the money will eventually finish. And I was back to being broke!

I knew I can't depend on anyone but myself and God.

I also felt guilty because I couldn't be of much help to my family then. Well things worked out great for me by God's mercy.

I got a full-time job as a frontend developer, remotely. I also got accepted as a Technical writer for two foreign companies. Currently I have three jobs but with the way I'm currently accessing the situation, I will be getting more offers soon on Technical Writing.

Bosses in the house, my issue is that I'm still contemplating on the means to receive payment. I heard the official exchange rate is 460. Can someone please recommend a good payment method with that has a higher exchange rate? A colleague told me about grey but is there anyone using grey here please?

One of the companies I work for require I either use PayPal, Paystack, American bank or Stripe.
Open Wise, and Geegpay, you can receive payment via US Account ACH which Wise supports, then from Wise you can send to Geegpay and withdraw to naira at a parallel rate, it's what I do.

or you can just use Geegpay ACH Account Directly but I trust my money with Wise when keeping which is why I send to wise.

All the best

Looks like you are a Java developer. Someone said Java got worse when it was acquired by oracle. What did oracle do?
Because Android can't use Java, so if you're tied to Google you will have to settle for a lesser Java version than what's available in the Java SE or Kotlin. Java is the best as far as I am concerned, it's usable everywhere and good for enterprise business.

C++ has it's use but unless you're building a powerful system stick to Java

Nothing is going on. Unemployment rate in Nigeria is currently 41%, meaning 4 out of every 10 men out there are jobless. Not everyone can "hustle" in an environment that kills opportunities.

We have to first and foremost acknowledge a societal problem before crucifying anyone.
Unemployment is a general issue in any country, that's not justification for giving up, and letting the woman be burdened. Outrageous

Big man, babes from the east dey naturally forget birthdays?😒🤔

OP, things like this are very easy to resolve IMO.

Love is patient.

Patiently wait for next year and forget her own birthday; then and only then, will love prevail and both of you can really discuss on how equally hurt it is...

That is if Una relationship go reach next year because I don't understand wazgoinon these days.

Seems you were depressed when creating that
No I disagree some top engineers have similar site like Bjarne, failure2019 is different type of programmer, he's into C++ and low level stuffs so he doesn't need to have a fancy site. The knowledge in the site is core value for us engineers not the UI. E.g his Chip8 emulator code on his GitHub is something I've learned during my childhood "emulation", for him to be interested in low level stuff like that already means he's a different calibre of dev. Most of us are web developer, so he deserves some respect, if he was on Reddit, he would get a different response, but we Nigerians like to be negative towards each other.

Go register your loan company to the appropriate bodies and see if defaulters won't pay the loan they took.
Harassing people and invading their privacy is against the rule governing lending companies in Nigeria,and that's why the federal government is clamping down on those criminals.
There are rules guiding legals loan,but criminals hiding under the guise of loan apps wants to cheat the system by bypassing every protocols that govern legal loan companies,with their criminal interest rate and their criminal loan period.

Criminal loan apps should go do the right thing.
Na so isn't it this same thread, people are talking about how to not pay back, legal or not? we have criminal minds, anyway RIP to your friend. I worked in a company that scores people for loan, and the stats for Nigerians not paying back is very high
