| Posted: 25 Apr 2018 04:24 AM PDT I would also like to know some statistics about the internet usage, popular language, what latest technology the industry is using, what's changing, where its heading, etc. Stuff like that. [link] [comments]  |
| Is Object Oriented Programming really a problem? Posted: 25 Apr 2018 08:34 PM PDT I had to read an article for class that talked about OOP and how in many real world examples it isn't used (esp. in embedded systems). He pretty much says that OOP isn't very intuitive and can make things harder than they need be. Is this a current trend to think of OOP in this light? Furthermore what is a common high level language (short of C) that isn't OOP? [link] [comments]  |
| Questions about work as a web developer Posted: 25 Apr 2018 11:06 PM PDT I started learning web development using a course on udemy, it's just something I felt I should learn. My question is how do people build their portfolio? And where/how do they display it? Are they building websites for people and showing their range of abilities in doing so? I'm not a programmer by any means or even intermediate so I'm looking for more of an ELI5 on this topic. Related question: is learning web development going to lead anywhere if I pursue it seriously without going to college? [link] [comments]  |
| Failed my Python exam - help would be appreciated! Posted: 25 Apr 2018 07:53 PM PDT Hi, I did REALLY bad on my latest Python exam. I was wondering if anybody could help explain the things I did wrong and what the correct answer should look like. This is my first Python class and it is rough, jeez. Any help would be much appreciated thanks!! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Apr 2018 09:54 PM PDT My current job (also my first) is developing the Intranet with Sharepoint. Actually the company bought the project from somewhere else a few months ago and even the team leader of project is not completely familiar with it. The worst part is I am assigned to do deployment and debugging. The code is very messy, there are no comments and used way too many abbreviations (and not self explanatory) for variables and I have to traceback every time. The company do not use any version controls and project management tools, and instead use pdf/MS Onenote with WhatsApp for communication. I feel like I learned nothing as all I did so far is configuring Sharepoint and debugging spaghetti codes. Most of the time, I feel like quitting but I try to do my best and plan to stay for 6 months while looking for a new job. [link] [comments]  |
| What was your "why didn't I start doing this sooner" moment? Posted: 25 Apr 2018 12:06 PM PDT I have been using vim for over a year. I never even bothered to learn an IDE. I thought they were too bloated and just a waste of time. Lately, I decided to take a look at Pycharm. It has always been recommended to me but I always ignored it. As I was going through the features I was blown away that an IDE can do version control, interactive debugging, refactoring tools, large code base navigation and opening a terminal etc. I could even open vim in the terminal. The biggest surprise for me was the vim emulation mode. I tried all commands that I know in vim and they worked. I feel like I should have started learning how to use an IDE sooner than I did. So what about you, what was your "why didn't I start doing this sooner" moment? [link] [comments]  |
| How often do you reference the internet when writing code? Posted: 25 Apr 2018 12:21 PM PDT I'm a Web and Mobile Development major who is 2.5 weeks away from graduating. As that time comes closer and I'm finishing up all my final projects, I've come to realize that when I'm writing code, I still need to double check things on the internet — frequently. I feel as though I've got a good understanding of concepts and usually know how to make things happen in code, but I find myself constantly looking up syntax on the internet. Sometimes I just get languages confused and can't remember stuff like if I need to use a parenthesis or bracket, exact method names, placements of periods/semicolons, etc. Most of the time I think I know the right answer but maybe I'm too quick to look it up because I don't want to write it out and test it to see if it's correct first. I did an internship as part of my program, and I had to reference the internet constantly, but of course this was acceptable because I was there in order to learn and I was using frameworks/platforms I had never worked with before. I'm just worried that when it comes to a "real" job as a developer, this is going to be an issue. My question is, for those people who work in programming, how often do you have to do this? And how often do you think is too much? [link] [comments]  |
| How to automate data entry/login to a website along with a solved captcha. Posted: 25 Apr 2018 10:02 PM PDT I need to login to a webpage that has a captcha. The idea is to load a webpage, pull the captcha image, solve it and submit it along with the credentials. I already have a system to solve the captcha. I can submit it via hydra or some other way. But the problem is the captcha. A new one is generated every time the page is loaded. How do I load a page, pull the captcha, and submit all of the data without reloading the page? I know that it can be done with burpsuite and I have done it. I want to make it into a single script. Python or bash, it doesn't matter. [link] [comments]  |

| Docker build command unable to find my DockerFile after Cloning repo created in Windows into Macbook Posted: 25 Apr 2018 09:28 PM PDT So I created a project on my windows laptop and pushed my repo to Github. Unfortunately my window's laptop wifi didn't work when I brought it to my class and so I had to use one of the loaner macbooks they had. I cloned my repo onto it, copied my Dockerfile and .dockerignore into the root of the project (they were included in my gitignore) and I ran the command below: docker build -t my-app-name . It gave me an error saying that it couldn't find my Dockerfile when it was clearly in the root of the project. I searched google and saw one source online where someone had the same issue as mine and found out it was because he cloned a repo that was originally created on Windows. It failed on any Mac device I tried. Anyone know what's causing Docker to not find the Dockerfile, or better yet, tell me what I can do to overcome this problem? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Apr 2018 11:32 PM PDT I accidentally deleted my last post trying to edit it...Anyways if someone is still willing to help out I am doing a fractal assignment like i said before I'm not looking for anyone to do myHW. Below is the code i have it uses a recursive function to print the square I want now my next obstacle is how do i make it repeat itself and keep making copies of itself in a sense if i understand a fractal shape correctly. This is my code so far https://github.com/ag0715/assign4ee/blob/master/Assign4Progress and this is where I am trying to get to https://github.com/ag0715/assign4ee/blob/master/Screen%20Shot%202018-04-26%20at%201.24.59%20AM.png so far i managed to print my square now i am guessing its just a matter of modifying my current code if its correct so far I have tried a few manipulations but it just prints the square all weird and all over the place [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Apr 2018 11:25 PM PDT I build a simple machine learning algorithm in python for my thesis project. Now i need to make an interface for it that people can enter constraints and get results according to data. I have zero knowledge about building interface. And I have very limited time. Do you have any recommemdation of free books, videos that i can learn basics? [link] [comments]  |
| [C++] Quicksort different pivots provide different results Posted: 25 Apr 2018 11:22 PM PDT I'm having trouble with my pivots in my quicksort function. Median of 3 works fine, but choosing the middle pivot or the first pivot doesn't sort my vector. Below is my code (its mostly just copied and pasted, I just have if statements for each pivot I want to choose but it's not working the way I want). Majority of the code was copied from my textbook. I'm also trying to use DDD to debug but having different issues with it. Any help would be great. [link] [comments]  |
| Problem implementing an ELF .text infection Posted: 25 Apr 2018 07:20 PM PDT I'm trying to implement an example of an ELF .text infection as described in "Learning Linux Binary Analysis". I'm currently having a problem where I successfully injected my data into the .text section, readelf displays no errors but the program terminates during startup. My process so far is:
The entry point to the file has not been modified. When I try to debug the resulting file in radare2, it outputs: If I list the number of functions I see a lot are missing: Compare to the original file: Listing the section headers using readelf also show that some sections are missing: Compared to the original file: I think there's a problem in the way the section headers are being moved, but I haven't found the problem. UPDATE I found a bug in the process which would edit a section/program header offset even if it was after the .text section. After fixing this, radare2 was able to find all functions including entry0. However, one function's name is different: Becomes: this is clearly a call to the puts() functions. Maybe I need to modify an offset here as well. The missing sections problem still happens even with the fix. UPDATE 2 I found that the p_vaddr value of a program header also should be increased along with p_offset. This fixed the problem where sections would be missing from readelf -l. The resulting program will now successfully start but hits a segmentation fault at runtime. [link] [comments]  |
| Projecteuler problem 8 - attempt at C# solution Posted: 25 Apr 2018 10:45 PM PDT Here is my attempt at a solution to project euler problem 8, found here: https://projecteuler.net/problem=8 I spent a few hours on it and worked out some bugs, but now I'm lost. It runs and I get an answer, a believable answer (2 million or something) but it's the wrong answer. And I'm not sure which piece of my code is incorrect. Am I missing permutations? Am I computing the product incorrectly or something? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Apr 2018 02:56 PM PDT I am fairly new to this sub so I hope this question or reach for insight is not out of place... I graduated with a bachelor's of science in construction management in Dec 2015. I have since had a very successful with building airports. The work is great an all but the realization that I will be traveling for the rest of my life has sunk in. I have started to look at my passions for guidance and found my love of all things computer has been consistent for as long as I can remember. I have started using freecodecamp.org (found through this sub) and have enjoyed it greatly after 10 or so hours. I enjoy the webpage design aspects but have also always had an interest in gaming. Anyways I would like to look into options as far as coding/webpage design/etc is concerned but have found it very nerve racking to even think of starting all over. -Those of you who have gone through career changes, how did it turn out for you? Were you able to catch up to your original standard of living? -Currently, I am 24, living in the Midwest and making about 80k with decent benefits. Is a salary in this ballpark reasonable to shoot for after a couple years in the industry? -What would the recommended steps be to achieve a decent starting position? I have heard the importance of a portfolio but how do you get to the point of building a portfolio? -I have toyed with the idea of going back to school for another undergrad degree, does anyone know programs that can be achieved in a year or a shorter period of time? -I know a few people who are able to code remotely from work (95% remotely, a visit into the office occassionaly), this is extremely appealing but it is reasonable to shoot for a job with this perk? As always, thank you Reddit. Any insight is appreciated. On the off chance anyone is looking for guidance on the opposite (coding -> construction) feel free to DM me! [link] [comments]  |
| Can a C program find and read a file saved anywhere on a computer? Posted: 25 Apr 2018 06:20 PM PDT Sorry, I realize this is a dumb question. I'm very new to C programming. My question is, if I write a C program that reads a file, .dat or .txt for example, can it find it regardless of where it's saved on the computer? If I save a .txt file to my desktop and compile a c program that reads it, will it find it? [link] [comments]  |
| What are recommended learning paths for software defined network? Posted: 25 Apr 2018 09:34 PM PDT I am now a junior backend developer for 1.5 years of working experience particularly focus on php and node js development. I am planning to learn SDN. My colleagues advised me learning network following by CCNA syllabus .The CCNA (Routing Switching ) have more to do about hardware configuration which is not my interest. What something should I learn first before jumping into SDN, After that, what are the learning paths for SDN, [link] [comments]  |
| A good book about Data Oriented Design. Posted: 25 Apr 2018 09:33 PM PDT Hi! I just found this book about data oriented design. I've been told software industry (especially games) is moving toward this concept more and more! I have no idea how up to date it is though. I hope you like it! [link] [comments]  |
| FreeCodeCamp vs TheOdinProject on a Windows device Posted: 25 Apr 2018 05:24 PM PDT Hi everyone, I want to get in to web development and I was hoping that you could help. Just an hour ago I started looking into the Odin Project however i have quickly discovered issue I have due using a windows device. So would freecodecamp be better for me or is it actually possible to complete theodinproject on a windows device and how would I go about this? [link] [comments]  |
| Recommend sources to continue learning coding or CS even when I’m not by my computer? Posted: 25 Apr 2018 03:03 PM PDT Videos, courses or books that aren't follow along, do as I do format? [link] [comments]  |
| How to get started on systems programming? Posted: 25 Apr 2018 03:00 PM PDT Hi I am just 1st grade cs student right now. We learn Java in the school but I am learning c++ on my own because I like low level stuff. As far as I know systems programming is one of the best areas for low level programming and because of that I want to start to study that area. I have found some tutorials such as build a minimal OS from scratch but I am not sure this is the right way to start this area. What can you suggest to me to start? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Apr 2018 12:57 PM PDT I'm in college right now majoring in Chemistry and am becoming really depressed as the material isn't very interesting and I'm beginning to realize that there aren't many options in this field with only an undergraduate degree. To get a half decent job in the field you need research experience which is difficult to obtain without stellar grades or a passion/motivation to study the subject. Most people end up doing uninteresting work as lab assistants following orders from superiors without much room to grow and a subpar salary. Initially I wanted to do something in the natural sciences (chem, bio, phys, math etc.) because of all the hype STEM gets, but it honestly feels like the SM are overrated in the STEM. After doing some research and realizing how huge the pay gap, opportunities, job growth etc. between the natural sciences and anything computer related, I'm losing my motivation to keep pursuing my undergraduate major. Is it worth it to spend the summer learning to code and attend a Coding Bootcamp? [link] [comments]  |
| What are a few good places to learn coding Posted: 25 Apr 2018 08:08 PM PDT Hi, I've been learning from CodeAcademy for the past few months and after nearly completing their program and being inches away from my certificate I feel absolutely unqualified to obtain any kind of job in the industry. The curriculum had no interest in teaching beginners why anything did anything, letting us experiment and test the limits, give us hands on practice building apps and websites using what we know. The majority of the program was here's half the info, fail a bunch of times, message the advisors to get the other half of the code. The other thing it did was instead of having you build classes and variables from scratch they just gave you code to paste in and said "cool, eh?" I'm sure the course had good intentions but it seems like a course made by experienced programmers and only tested by experienced programmers. Now I'm looking for a new site I can use to help me get the knowledge I need to enter the industry with any degree of confidence in the knowledge I've acquired. Any suggestions? I keep hearing about Udemy? [link] [comments]  |
