    Is it just me or do all SAAS companies eventually start building the same product?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2020 05:55 PM PDT

    I'm not talking about apps like facebook, reddit, slack that serve a specific consumer facing purpose. I'm talking about apps that records things, like service records, surveys etc.

    I've worked at three different companies making enterprise apps in my career so far, and all of them have gone through the same path.

    1. They have a good product made for a specific industry with customers that love the product
    2. Prospects/existing customers started asking for more features
    3. We make the features, and it's taken some time to implement
    4. Some guy came up with a brilliant idea: "Hey! We can decouple it in such a way so that the whole app is dynamic, you just need to create some kind of configuration/plugin to add new features"
    5. Starts to build an app that starts to resemble a low code programming tool

    Everyone has some kind of lists that they can filterEveryone has some kind of tree

    The technology may be different, the algorithm may be different, but the final vision always look the same.

    So I'm just wondering, is it just me or is everyone building a different version of the same product?

    Help finding list of peoples emails in my school

    Posted: 24 Oct 2020 08:57 PM PDT

    I'm a beginner at programming, and I'd like to get a list of people in my school so I can experiment with sorting large lists of items. Everyone is under the same email domain, and I've checked on google contacts and everybody is in a directory, and if I put in someone's name as a recipient in an email, it will autocomplete with their name and address. Ideally I'd want the list of people in a txt file.

    Are UDP packets queued adequately?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2020 05:04 AM PDT

    I have one machine spamming another with UDP datagrams. All sockets are non-blocking.

    Clearly if a sendto() operation fails, I need to manually choose whether I queue/drop packets on the sender side.

    On the receiver side, should I be manually looping on recvfrom, queuing datagrams? Is some queuing happening under the hood somewhat or are datagrams one-in one-out on a network?

    In other words, if one machine calls sendto() 100 times and then later the other machine calls recvfrom() 100 times, which packets would get dropped on an otherwise good network connection?

    Can you be a developer your whole life?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2020 08:35 PM PDT

    I like coding for the most part.

    I may want to do it all my life.

    And I don't like telling other people what to do, keep an eye on their tasks, talk to the client (be it within the same company you work for or from another).

    Is coding something you could do your whole life?

    I know only ONE dude around 50 who still codes.

    The other older people I knew in IT are managers, supervisors or CTOs.

    What to use for programming?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2020 08:19 PM PDT

    I have been using visual studio, but something popped up saying that soon I won't have access to it and will have to start paying to use it. I looked online. It says $45 a month for the "professional" thing or $250 a month for "enterprise." I am not a fan of monthly payments. Unless there is some way to not pay for it and still use it or pay one time, I will have to switch to something else if it expects payment to use.

    Anyway, any advice will help on whether it can be used without paying, if there is an option just to do it once and never have to worry about it again, or if there is some other option that does not require payment or has one time payment to use.

    Edit: I have been trying to teach myself programming. I have been working with the python programming langauge. I don't know if that makes much of a difference if any here.

    Any cheap/free APIs with live sports box scores?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2020 02:15 PM PDT

    I'm looking to get primarily NFL scores in real time with down/distance, game clock, etc. I found the sportsreference python module but I can't find whether they provide live scores or only historical scores.

    Programming within the Solar Energy Industry

    Posted: 24 Oct 2020 03:50 PM PDT

    So im fairly new in software development and really interested in making this a life long career especially since it is booming. I know how steep the learning curve is and learning is perpetual but im down for the sweat and tears.

    I was wondering if anyone had any kind of insight on software development or any kind of programming within the solar industry and what kind of environment and skill set should I prepare myself for? Are there specific programming languages that are mostly used within this industry or am I thinking about that question the wrong way?

    It really interests me to be a part of a dev team upkeeping a whole network of solar farms or something to that effect. Or is that not possible and im thinking about it the wrong way. I know this is far from the level of skill im at but is something I feel motivated to work for. Any kind of insight is appreciated.

    TLDR: i'm fairly new to software development, so what skill set should I prepare myself for finding a programming job within the solar energy industry.

    challenge: a square pixel sensor moves over a surface, taking successive greyscale images. Given 2 successive frames (greyscale pixel matrices), output the rotation in degrees followed by the x,y translation in whole pixels that most accurately explains the sensor's movement.

    Posted: 24 Oct 2020 06:33 PM PDT

    challenge: a square pixel sensor moves over a detailed surface, taking successive greyscale images. The sensor can physically rotate and translate, and you will try to determine what rotation and translation it just performed.

    Given 2 successive frames (greyscale pixel matrices), output the rotation in degrees followed by the translation in whole pixels that most accurately explains the sensor movement between the two frames. For example if the frames are equivalent, they are best explained by 0 degrees rotation followed by 0 degrees x and 0 degrees y offset. (In this case the sensor did not move.)

    I am looking for an algorithm, so you can use any programming language (or pseudocode). The rotation is with respect to the center of the sensor.

    I had a question to myself that how bots like Nightbot (Youtube, Twitch, etc..) works? Considering they track every live chat at the same time and even multiple chats for a single user.

    Reading the newest data over serial fast

    Posted: 24 Oct 2020 05:25 PM PDT

    Hi!

    I've finally convinced myself to stop being so stubbon and ask for help.

    I'm wondering what is the best way to receive sensor data over serial in a live manner. I don't care about having complete data, I just want to be able to pull the most current data from the sensor when I need it. This is for real-time video so it needs to be fast enough for 30fps.

    I've tried setting up a call and response where win32 pings my arduino and it sends the latest data back, this for some reason is really slow, seconds even.

    Alternatively, I've also tried having the Arduino constantly send the new data and reading it when I need it. This is much faster but I think either the buffer on windows or Arduinos side fills with values I'm stuck reading old data.

    I'm sure this is a solved issue but I just don't know enough to know what to search for, I'm new to serial

    Need help fixing a problem with a sourceforge program

    Posted: 24 Oct 2020 01:30 PM PDT

    I am helping with a project on sourceforge that is called CDE or Common Desktop Environment. The issue is:

    https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/tickets/60/

    What needs to be done is all hardcoded paths must be removed and replaced. Example is https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/code/ci/8db8a2290683acf94f02e855af668a864d6001c2/ where "installCDE: don't hardcode path to whoami" has a line with /bin/echo "$1" | tee -a $LOGFILE was changed to echo "$1" | tee -a $LOGFILE.

    How would I go about removing all the hardcoded paths? I need some help here, if anyone could volunteer that would be a big help. I used grep to find all instances of the three paths and got this as a result. https://pastebin.com/raw/H0LYfRSe

    I'm asking for volunteer help to give me a hand in fixing this ticket.

    Can you blacklist IP addresses for UDP sockets?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2020 02:29 PM PDT

    When receiving UDP datagrams, calls to recvfrom() retrieve packets from anywhere. Unless the implementation does some kind of prioritisation, then tight looping on sendto() would be an easy denial of service attack. Do UDP implementations perform this prioritisation? If not, is there a way to manually blacklist IP addresses so that recvfrom never gives you packets from some address?

    Money transaction Web Service Spring Boot REST help

    Posted: 24 Oct 2020 03:54 AM PDT

    Hello! I'm doing a task for a job selection process but I'm afraid that I'm stuck. I've just uploaded a very complete post with the problem on StackOverflow, so if you don't mind I'll share the link. If it's against the rules I can write the post here:

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64512416/money-transference-with-spring-rest-api

    Thanks in advance!

    EDIT: I'll specify what I need here, more details in the post

    I want to create a POST http request that allows my Web Service to transfer money from one account to other. Only accounts with the boolean value "isTreasury" can end with negative balance. Only transferences between accounts with same type of "currency" value can be done.
