| Is B a compiled or interpreted language? Posted: 19 Jan 2018 05:30 PM PST I'm researching this for a presentation for school and I haven't been able to find a definite answer. Is B, or specifically, was B when it was developed by Thompson, compiled or interpreted? Wikipedia says he wrote a compiler, so that implies it's compiled, but it's Wikipedia. This video I watched about someone who worked at Bell Labs at the time says it's interpreted. Can anyone give me further clues? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2018 11:58 AM PST It used to be that computer programmers were nerds who fell in love with computing at an early age. They probably started to learn how to use computers, and/or how to write code, before they had a chance to do so in school. Maybe they volunteered code to big open-source projects, and/or to hobbyist projects of their own. But now, being a computer programmer is a guaranteed path to success, like "a doctor or a lawyer" used to be. I'm guessing that this causes people to enter the field in (or after) college who never coded for fun (and probably still don't), who aren't very familiar with its history, who don't wonder about (or try to look into) how various pieces of software work, who aren't interested in learning skills that are not professionally useful. Are most programmers today in the passionate camp or in the second camp? Has there been a shift over the years from mostly-passionate to increasingly-not? What impact does that have? For example, do companies now need stricter methods/guidelines for creating code, when previously they could just trust programmers to come up with something that worked and to test it properly? Background about me and why I'm asking, in case you're curious. I do materials research/testing and stress analysis for a large company in an industry that makes products that some people are very passionate about, but most people in my company are not. Kids out there have posters of our products in their bedrooms (and I was that kid) but most of my coworkers never thought much about these products until our employer offered them a job. So during work, something that I think of as "common sense" has to be spelled out to a coworker ("What does it mean to say that our product encounters a situation called [blah]?"), or I see coworkers doing certain checks only because some stupid process requires them to – because they have not heard of the tragedy that caused this process to require this check. In a way, the most amazing thing about the company where I work is that people who are almost entirely unfamiliar with the history and operation of our products can follow recipe-like manuals and processes and checklists… and be a part of the creation of a successful products, while personally having zero intuition other than about how things go in their narrow field. Only a few people (mostly at the top) have a general understanding of what every part of the product does and how it came to look and work the way it does today. So sometimes I think "I would be nice to work in a company where everyone is excited about the product, knows generally how it works, followed its history since they were kids… like people must at Google!". But I could be totally wrong, so I'm asking. Xpost in AskProgramming , AskProgrammers , cscareerquestions , and coding , because I'm not sure which is the most appropriate for this. Apologies to the mods if they need to remove one that is not in its most appropriate subreddit. [link] [comments] |
| Looking for PDF of a Java textbook. Posted: 19 Jan 2018 07:14 PM PST Hello everyone. I have been notified by my college instructors that I need to get a textbook for class (Java: An Introduction to Problem Solving and Programming, 8/E) which is this one here: It costs $200 CDN. My search so far has yielded nothing. As most students, I want to avoid paying this much money for a textbook as much as possible, but if I absolutely have no choice by the end of all this, then I will have to. If any of you happen to have access to a PDF version of this book, would you please share it here. I would be ever so grateful. Cheers [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2018 03:13 PM PST My code is very simple: output is: Obviously my understanding of what's happening behind the scenes here is lagging. Does datetime.datetime have a print method that's not getting invoked when I try to concatenate the strings in one line before printing? If not, why does it print (x) fine, but can't print it further down? Edit: After typing this out I realized I could test my theory by splitting up the print statements to print the strings and the datetimes separately. I did that and it worked. So that seems to support my theory that datetime has a print function that doesn't get invoked when I try to concatenate it before printing. I'll leave this here for future people and so that I can most likely eat some well-deserved mocking. [link] [comments] |
| Can I exploit my i service provider? Posted: 19 Jan 2018 01:35 PM PST I didn't know where to ask this so I'm hoping this isn't too far off. I've got this plan with my mobile provider, 3Gb of mobile data plus free data for Facebook/messenger/Instagram. I'm running out of data, is there any way to redirect Internet through Facebook? Like you could access porn sites on your school pc through google translate five years ago? I have some experience with programming but i don't know anything about Internet protocols, thank you for any help :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2018 12:28 PM PST Basic problem I am trying to solve: Context: What I've found so far: 100% of my searches under keywords like "MS word api", "MS Word com", or similar themes have all directed to user level instructions and not developer resources. Coming up empty makes me wonder if Microsoft did away with exposing the components of one of their flagship applications or perhaps it has become so tightly glued together that isn't viable. Alternatives I am researching: http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html or alternatively QT's text editor but while I like pyqt and pyside, the c/c++ API and me are not friends. [link] [comments] |

| Help choosing framework for first project Posted: 19 Jan 2018 03:52 PM PST Like the title says, I could use a point in the right direction when it comes this. I'm a novice coder with a basic understanding of programming, but I enjoy learning and doing. I've puttered around with django, RoR, and a few others but as soon as I start diving in, I run into roadblocks with how it performs compared to what I need it to do. Honestly at this point I'm not even sure I'm asking the right questions, so: The project: Think a stripped down no voice version of discord where users would use a phone/desktop/browser app to see what games their friends are playing. Users would (for now) manually enter what they're playing and it would propagate that to all other users in their respective app. That's the jist of it. I'm guessing it would need to be some sort of web based app where users would pull their respective information from. Is there a framework out there that suits this type of project that also has manageable GUI elements as well? Am I asking the right questions? Any feedback would be great! To be clear, I am not looking for an easy button. I really don't mind putting in the effort needed, I would just like to use the best tool for the job! [link] [comments] |

| Using VBA to identify pattern changes? Posted: 19 Jan 2018 07:18 AM PST Hello, I work in a large cities water department. One main project the city is foused on is recording flow data from sewers. At times the pattern changes without a known reason (such as rainfall) ( e.g. https://imgur.com/7NDyQnc) given that there are some 230 flowmeters currently in operation would it be possible to code for recognizing some shifts in pattern using VBA. I've been trying to do figure out a way but so far I have been unable to. Any suggestions would help. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Trouble scraping website with BeautifulSoup. Posted: 19 Jan 2018 12:59 PM PST Hello everybody. I am writing a python script to scrape the images of the day from Bing. My understanding of web technologies is pretty limited, as I develop mostly desktop applications. I found this answer on StackExchange explaining how to get the image relevant information through AJAX calls, but when I try and parse the content in that web address it is as if there is nothing there. I am using the JSON method and trying to pull the <pre> tag out, which contains all the relevant information. If somebody could help me out or at least point me in the right direction on where to research, I would greatly appreciate it. [link] [comments] |

| Digitize and create a searchable database for a 60 year old ledger. Posted: 19 Jan 2018 11:41 AM PST So the camp I run has officially filled our "Big Book", a book in which every camper has signed their name since the beginning in 1954. I have a dream to be able to digitize the book and have people be able to search through it to find names of people they know, i.e. parents, grandparents, former boy/girlfriends, coworkers, etc. Problem is I have no idea how it's possible. The digitizing will be difficult, but not impossible. I just need to find a library or archive of some sort with a book scanner. It's the searchable database of names is where I'm really struggling to figure out something. So I'm hoping this is the right place to ask. After I have all the names in a spreadsheet of sorts, what's next? To be accessible on the internet, does it have to be on our webhost, is there an online program that does things like this, what kind of database am I looking for, is it even a database that I'm looking for? I just don't know! So any help and guidance is appreciated! Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Any online composer tools for designing a code base? Posted: 19 Jan 2018 07:55 AM PST I am looking for an all in one tool that can help me architecture a new application's code design. I have tried Mural, but I don't really like it. Any other recommendations? [link] [comments] |
| Removing duplicate items in array. Posted: 19 Jan 2018 11:01 AM PST I'm trying to write a program to remove duplicate items in an array. For some reason, this gives me an infinite loop: I haven't been able to figure out where I can improve here. Could you help me with this? [link] [comments] |
| Using codeanywhere with institution ssh? Posted: 19 Jan 2018 09:27 AM PST Hello everyone, please let me know if this is the wrong place to ask this question and I will delete it asap. I have been taking a bunch of programming classes (you right here have helped me in the past) and I noticed that a lot of people were using codeanywhere. The interface looked a little bit nicer than the shell that we usually used (and it actually allows the usage of the mouse to select and move stuff around) but I can't for the life of me understand how to connect that thing to our shell. We are supposed to click on the container and put our hostname but how do I put my username and password on it? If you know how to do it or have a resource that demonstrates how this is done I would be very thankful. The description on their FAQ did not help me (keeps mentioning ssh key gen and cabox and I have no idea what those are). Again thank you everyone. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2018 05:18 AM PST Hey guys! I have used unityscript slightly but I want to learn how to program properly, not necessarily anything specific. Not sure if the right place to ask but could I have some tips on how to start out? I see different languages and formats and it's all going over my head, so I need a basis to start with. Any help would be appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Questions After First Interview Posted: 19 Jan 2018 09:03 AM PST I have a couple of questions for the community because I'm getting close to graduating with a Software Development degree, and I'm starting to apply for jobs. First, I went to an open house job fair at a company, and had an interview with a few people who seemed to think the only path to being a developer is to start as a network tech or help desk person, and then move to a developer position from within (I have networking experience). My first instinct is that they were just trying to fill positions that they were hurting for. Do companies hire Junior Developers straight out of college? I later talked to a recruiter about a Junior Developer position, and she said it would be difficult for me because the position requires two years of experience. Are entry level programmers not considered junior developers? What were your responsibilities as a junior developer? Any other advice for brand new software developers? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Learning for a beginner-intermediate programmer? Posted: 19 Jan 2018 08:54 AM PST Ok, so I know a bit of Python 3 (mostly procedural stuff), I can write a basic script with conditionals, functions, some scientific computing (numpy, scipy, pandas), that kind of level. When I get to OOP, I'm toast. I kinda see a class as a program in and of itself, with its own functions (methods), and multiple classes as different programs being able to call each other. I know it sounds ridiculous, but that's my basic take on OOP. What I want is:
Any idea what book / tutorial would be good for these aims? [link] [comments] |
| What's the difference between mutex and recursive_mutex? Posted: 19 Jan 2018 12:58 AM PST From what I understand, the recursive mutex will be unlocked as many times as it was locked. What does that even mean. If a thread wants to enter a critical section, it will just acquire the lock once or it simply get stuck in a spinlock. [link] [comments] |
| Python - help with importing non built-in modules Posted: 18 Jan 2018 11:29 PM PST Hi. I am very new to Programming. I have dabbled in some C with Arduino, and have worked a fair bit with HPVee. playing with Python, now and finding it a better place to start. My question is regarding importing modules to a program. Do I need to have some scripts, relevant to the modules I would Like to import saved in a directory on my local machine? Like Libraries in C? For instances "os - module" isn't built into the Python 3.6 environment. [link] [comments] |
| Alternatives to LINQ to SQL and DBML for .NET? Posted: 19 Jan 2018 03:42 AM PST I'm looking into ORM frameworks as we currently use LINQ queries and DBML files for data access. I'm trying to figure out what some of the newer frameworks are for when we update our libraries/projects and am looking for advice as I've not kept up with that side of things. The main one I know of is Entity Framework (6), but I was wondering if there was anything newer or more adopted by others, or is that still the go to? [link] [comments] |
