@swelljoe Interesting — thank you, I'll check that out! Was just looking at Vue as well, after seeing a post that said it was less Javascript focused with more emphasis on the HTML/templating side. The tutorial is harder to follow than the one for React, though, and it doesn't seem so different at a glance. Any thoughts on Vue?
It's 2024, and I'd like to write a simple web page that uses asynchronous #Javascript to pull a list of records (that have the same fields) from a REST API into a table. I'd like the table to update when the data changes — it's possible to register #webhooks with this API — and it'd be nice to be able to sort by the different fields, although this isn't so important.
@swelljoe Sounds like it's time to pick up the phone ☺️ (With the Amazon.com AI chatbot you just had to keep firing the query at it for long enough and it would direct you to a human - maybe worth trying that first).
Out of sheer curiosity, I wrote to #Revolut's data protection team asking whether it was possible to sign up for an account without consenting to biometric data collection, use and retention.
No reply yet, but their autoresponder said they'd get back to me "within one calendar month".
@ishmael If you don't have three or four months' average salary set aside, or you can't source that kind of money at a very low interest rate, you're not in a strong position in life. It really affects your choices. That said, a lot of people don't have that kind of safety net, and often not through any fault of their own. Which brings us back to the point of my initial post ☺️🙏
@ishmael It's not actually that much money. But it did feel good when I first managed to save enough in my account here to see the total as over 1,000,000 (of something... anything 😅). The odds of me ever being able to do that back in the UK are basically zero.
Dealing with two different financial services orgs today. One of them is ignoring what I write, coercing me to implicitly "consent" to their use, disclosure and up to a year's retention of biometric data, holding me to ransom with potential withdrawal of their services. The other has answered my question directly and in full, addressing me (unprompted) by my surname.
The difference? One of them requires a million yen to open (but not to maintain) an account.
@tarheel You know, I just tried it for a different purpose (something I wanted to make work entirely for myself).
And it worked.
I'm not sure it should have. And it might only have worked because it's running on my local machine. But even being served by nginx, json content being pulled from an API on a different domain (with a straightforward GET request) still showed up in the browser 🤔
@tarheel ...the project seems to have transformed quietly from a "we're going to pay for this excellent new tool - let's try it out" to "actually we might have to pay a few tens of dollars more for this each month than we want, but if we mention that maybe you'll code something for free out of goodwill and then maintain it forever on top of your usual work without any recognition, credit or help."
To which I say, "sorry, very busy doing my actual job right now (and my time is mine, thanks)." ☺️
