    I made a collision avoidance system for my garage to help my partner park the car safely without hitting the garage wall

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 07:49 AM PST

    So now, my partner can park the car easily without making any assumptions. Doesn't matter how many times she fail her driving test she is not going to break my wall (even when she is drunk). Not that I am asking her to drive when she is drunk (just kidding).

    Am I being exploited at my new job?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 11:30 AM PST

    I understand that as a recent grad I am subject to being used for cheap work, basically. Which is OK. But at my job, I've been given an entire software package to build and am expected to have it "ready to sell" in my first month, and I'm dying here. Nobody here seems to have time to help, or they just tell me to Google it.

    Isn't your first job supposed to be where you learn good habits, development processes, with mentors? I've been thrown to the wolves.

    They expect me to produce a industry -ready software/hardware package with a GUI integrated in less than a month with zero experience. I'm amazed I've almost got a perfect prototype ready, but I have a major problem on my hands and they're offering no help. Just wondering why it's 'not done yet'.

    I feel like they wanted a senior dev for a senior project but decided to cheap out and hire me, and give me impossible expectations. And now I will produce this shitty rushed software that hasn't even been looked over by a senior dev.

    Help. What am I doing wrong? C++ Snake Game

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 11:43 PM PST

    Hello! I'm doing this project for my intro to c++ class and I'm having trouble figuring out why the snake isn't causing a game over when it hits the wall or itself. It also doesn't allow the tail to grow longer than 2 or 3. Why is that? Please help me figure this out. I'm just learning how to do this. I'm running this on Visual Studio 2015. I believe the problem is on page 3/4. Thank you and have a nice day. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F6VCNAYdz-HNyjVn5sI-9YQjNj-52dpLn7uyNgPpaiM/edit?usp=sharing

    What core java concepts would you expect any undergrad student to know on their first job?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 02:38 PM PST

    I'm talking about the general SE positions in which the language you'll be primarily using is Java. What would you expect a student to know as they walk through the doors on their first day? Excluding Data Structures and Algorithms.

    Looking for a beginner's guide to the software process behind creating a web application, from idea to launch.

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 11:04 AM PST

    I'm teaching myself web development, but I can't find any guides for beginners that teach the software process behind creating a web app. I've seen guides that deal with agile planning methodology, but they seemed like they were geared towards developers with more experience than your average beginner. While there are a plethora of guides for the technical side of things, I can't locate any that deal with thought process behind things.

    Ideally I would love something that shows me everything I need to plan out before I begin coding, which pieces to code and in which order, and how to manage the ongoing things like bug fixes and future improvements.

    Do any such guides exist?

    null != var or var != null

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 01:21 PM PST

    I've always seen if(var != null), but I have a dev who says to use if(null != var). Anyone seen this before? Is there a 'right' way to do it?

    Getting new laptop for programming/designing. Opinions and suggestions appreciated - (already done plenty searches)

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 12:43 PM PST

    Hello everybody. As the title says, I'm looking to get a new laptop for programming and doing design on (Java, Affinity Designer, and Ableton 10).

    So I've been looking at a used 2013-2015 Macbook Pro with 2.6GHz(or higher) i7, with 16GB RAM... now for roughly the same price, I can get an MSI GE63 (7700hq) with the IPS panel... When I looked at benchmarks for single, and quad core scores, these 2 seemed to be pretty similar in performance, so I'm curious what you guys think.

    Note: I will not be gaming on this, so the graphics card doesn't mean much to me.

    Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks for your time, and have a great day!

    I am majoring in computer science and i need some advice on how i can just get better overall.

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 06:44 AM PST

    So yea I'm majoring in computer science, its tough, but i haven't given up yet. School helps, but i already know that most of my learning will have to come from trying and trying again at home. Right now i want to learn how to be a better web developer, im currently learning, HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT. I also want to learn C++. Im determined because i am tired of being paid minimum wage and struggling from check to check, i rather learn and do something i enjoy rather and use it in the real world rather than do what im doing now. So any advice to a newbie who can get better, and try to get some IRL experience so my chances are better for getting a good paying job. Thanks guys!

    Edit: thank you to everyone, i will use all your suggestions, and advice in anyway i can, i really hope to make something of myself, and if i ever do ill say its because you guys helped me :).

    It's not always about technical skills - to become a great programmer, you also need soft skills. (Microsoft CDAs talking about the importance of soft skills for every developer at the MS Tech Summit in Frankfurt)

    Posted: 28 Feb 2018 12:27 AM PST

    So I've been to the Microsoft Tech Summit in Frankfurt last week and since I'm very interested in the soft skills/personal development/communication part of being a developer, I asked three Microsoft Cloud Developer Advocates about this topic.

    Here are their opinions.

    Shayne Boyer: https://youtu.be/eSz_5wOGd8E Zach Deptawa & Bernd Verst: https://youtu.be/GdnKVbPW9VI

    I hope this is useful for you.

    Take care, Patrick

    [Documentations] How to read them?

    Posted: 28 Feb 2018 12:22 AM PST

    I know this might sound very ridiculous but I have some struggles reading documentations especially of new things I'm working with. Yeah I could just "google" what I need but if you aren't an expert in this field (yet) or you don't know the exact terminology it can be a really pain to find what you are searching for. Mostly if I have a problem I try to find youtube videos of people explaining it but seriously that can't be it. I want to step up my programming skills and therefore I will sooner or later need to be able to read through documentations but is there an efficient way to do so or do you have any tips for how you approach new topics and their documentations? Grateful for any help!

    How do I print the decision tree for a Bison parser-generator?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 11:51 PM PST

    I am trying to create a parser for a C-style language (homework) and my parser always throws an error whenever it encounters an integer declaration, and I can't figure out for the life of me why it gets stuck there. I know there's some way to print out verbose debugging info for Bison, but the online manual didn't help much. compiling it with --verbose generates a .output file, but the .output file appears to have general state information, not information about its decision tree for a particular parse.

    What to do with lots of side projects forgotten in a directory tree

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 11:42 PM PST

    In the past 3-4 years of programming I have experimented with several languages and I've created small and large projects. Some may have taken two hours, others two months. Not all of them are finished but they have required extensive experimentation and research.

    Now, there must been around more than 100 projects in my directories which reflect to hundreds of working hours and lots of work. So, I was thinking what to do with them. I can either back them up and forget them or create a blog and start posting small posts with walkthroughs or "how to-s" to help other people and show my work to potential employers.

    I can also push them to individual repositories on github but this will create a mess to my profile because as I said not all of them are complete.

    I don't know what to do so a little help would be appreciated.

    Senior Web Developer job opening, are these requirements excessive? Pay info included

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 07:55 PM PST

    Hello everyone.

    Sorry if this post is a little off topic from the normal discussions in this subreddit.

    I work for Wells Fargo Bank and came across this internal job opening for a Senior Web Developer.

    What are your thoughts on all these requirements Wells Fargo is looking for? Is it a bit excessive or this pretty common for tech jobs in big corporations?

    Keep in mind this is a Senior role which I'm sure includes some management role and overseeing other web developers.

    I would love to hear what everyone thinks.

    What you think about the pay?

    Let's discuss and feel free to ask any questions

    Need Suggestions

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 11:35 PM PST

    Hi, I have worked for last 11 years on Mainframe batch applications. I had decided multiple times about changing the technology, but due to the large number of options available, the vast information available on internet, I get overwhelmed and not able to decide on one track that I should follow.

    Looking for suggestions from the group on which technology I should pursue, considering my experience in batch applications which technology will be more relevant, any courses, degrees.

    Thanks.

    When a Reddit user deletes a post, does the user get removed from the database? How does it all work?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 11:25 PM PST

    Consider the following MongoDB for a post created by a user Rachel, where the title is "Puppies are Cute", and then inside there is a bunch of replies by various users:

     { "_id" : ObjectId("5a961ec0dab0a1663cdb7237"), "title" : "Puppies are cute!", "replies" : [ { "text" : "Hi!", "_id" : ObjectId("5a962183dab0a1663cdb723c"), "author" : { "id" : ObjectId("5a961c26dab0a1663cdb7233"), "username" : "Ken" } }, { "text" : "Cats are cuter!", "_id" : ObjectId("5a962183dab0a1663csadfc"), "author" : { "id" : ObjectId("5a961c26dab0a1663cdb7233"), "username" : "Steve" } } ], "author" : { "id" : ObjectId("5a961c26dab0a1663cdb7233"), "username" : "Rachel" } } 

    When Rachel presses the delete button, does Reddit deletes her username, as well as the content of her post, and replaces it with [deleted]?

    How does Reddit work in the backend? Does the username now get replaced with a string of "[deleted]", or does nothing get deleted in the database? How does Reddit show '[deleted]' permanently in everyone's web browser, if the database does not get modified?

    I'm trying to understand how this all works.

    [Homework][c++] Trying to code the stable marriage problem, and I'm getting stuck in infinite loops

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 11:17 PM PST

    One of my assignments is the stable marriage problem. I've written out all the checks I think i need to the best of my knowledge. I'm just not sure of what I'm doing. I'm sure I messed up at the looping part. I tried using goto statements, which are a mess. I don't think I'm properly breaking out of the loops.

    I used this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qcv1IqHWAzg as a frame of reference for my logical structure.

    It's should be easier for me as I don't have to worry about inputs. I am given data to work.

    My main steps are:

    -Start with a man, make sure he is single

    -Check through to the first non-negative preference(I used negative 1 to indicate that he has been rejected by a woman)

    -Check if that woman is single, if she is great, reset

    -If she isn't. check if she prefers this man over her current partner, if she does, great! The man who lost his partner should be marked rejected by that partner.

    if not, go back and ask the next woman. (I'm not sure if I should mark this as rejection though, my main criteria for rejection is if a woman has left a man she partnered up with previously. should I actually be checking the other men first?)

    -keep cycling through all the men until no one is single.

    This is a system where the man proposes.

    Here's a link to my main.cpp so that you could take a look: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_SKoXhf2u-iczvhKiquKlptIv87kkzz-

    I removed all the goto start functions on that cpp because I'm just not sure where they should be anymore.

    Swtiching careers. Is coding the right choice?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 11:06 PM PST

    I'm brand new to coding and programming, currently trying to teach myself the basics of python and just getting a good idea of what coding really consists of. I've been a mechanic for the last 4 years and went to college for it but at this point I'm pretty burnt out. My question is, is this the kind of industry where someone who is self learning will have chance at a career? Or do companies mostly consider people with a formal education. I might consider going back to school for something computer related but unfortunately there aren't many part-time jobs in the automotive field.

    [C++] Configuring Visual Studio Code Intellisense with Windows Subsystem for Linux

    So I'm taking a C++ course in college this semester, and we're supposed to be compiling our code using g++ in bash on Windows.

Is there any way to resolve this?

    Advice about exporting database from xampp

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 10:57 PM PST

    I have created a database(12columns) using XAMPP. New data is added into it automatically. I have about 10k rows in it right now, while more is being added regularly, I have estimated that I will have about 100k rows in it total. I want to export it from XAMPP when I am done adding data to my database. The data in it very important and I want to export it in format where I can easily use it later in different ways like use if on my website or just upload it on my server for storing, search some keywords in a given column etc. I am new to sql and databases, so please advice how to export it from XAMPP.
    Thanks.

    What are some good tutorials to learn to develop skills for Alexa (from Amazon)?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 07:10 PM PST

    I am completely new to AWS Lambda and the Amazon Developer Console. I really just want to see one example (even hello world) of a skill being created from start to finish with step by step instructions.

    Amazon's documentation skips over the basics that I need in order to understand how to begin the process.

    Edit: This one on Code Academy is brilliant. It explains the terminology and even shows short video clips to show you how to navigate the user interface.

    My rant because reading their documentation was the most fucking frustrating thing I've experienced in a while: Amazon really needs to just hire someone to create one good tutorial. Linking to a git repository with outdated or broken code or having every section have 3 hyperlinks (that each contain their own 3 hyperlinks) that must be read to understand the next step on the page is not good practice. Introductory content is meant for people that haven't used the system before. Why would you have 2 steps to explain how to log in to the website, but then assume people know what an "Intent Schema" is and already have it created? Like wtf? I spent over half an hour wading through your articles and trying to follow them to no avail, but it literally took me 10 minutes on code academy to create and test a new skill. Just step up your game guys.

    Anyone programming with Simvolio and Protypo?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 10:31 PM PST

    Hi programming learners! I'm closely following the development of the Genesis project (https://gist.github.com/c-darwin/a9a96a4eaae16c0d410f34e434594132) and wondering if anyone in this subreddit has experience working with the languages used on the Genesis platform - Protypo (interfaces) and Simvolio (smart contracts). I'm learning them now - yesterday I played with interfaces, today I plan for creating my first smart contract. I'm open for experience exchange and learning together.

    [Java] Questions with the variable of str.charAt()

    Hi guys, I am currently learning Java and doing the Coding Bat Java found in the wiki. I got to the question that I have to switch first and last char of the string. Here is my code:

    public String frontBack(String str) { int n = str.length(); char temp; temp = str.charAt(0); str.charAt(0) = str.charAt(n-1); str.charAt(n-1) = temp; return str; } 

    And I got the following error

    unexpected type required: variable found: value line:5

    CSS; Personal struggles/questions with it

    Posted: 27 Feb 2018 11:17 AM PST

    I'd like to get some opinions/advice on my learning stage surrounding html/css.

    First off, should I be overly concerned if I find CSS extremely irritating? Somehow it's anxiety inducing which leads to procrastination. I really dislike every minute I have to spend learning/using it. On the other hand from the little dabbling I've done, I'm enjoying the logic involved in actual programming.

    I'm not really sure what to think but I have to acknowledge I really hate html/css and wonder whether that means I'm wasting my time trying to get into web development with this being the case.

    I've worked IT help desk and computer repair in the recent past (after years of manual labor) and was steered toward web development (front end specifically) since it's been said by many it's somewhat easier to break into with no degree. I didn't expect to dislike these frontend topics (the visuals surrounding CSS and design/layout) so much, but I have to admit I do.

    How important/deep of a topic is html/css for developers? Is it something I can sort of just move on from and marginalize my need to work with (and make up for my weakness in) by specializing in something else?

    I know this might sound crazy but like I said I enjoy the logic side of actual programming but I find html/css mentally tortuous to work with (I'd relate it to sitting through a long class with a professor that just reads off a PDF with no interaction).

    I just don't know what the real work or jobs look like (the big picture) so I'm not sure if I'm wasting my time if I'm inherently so resistant to working with html/css.

    Sorry if this is somewhat incoherent but it's been bothering me.

    Thanks for any advice.
