    What can I do on top of my regular college coursework to advance my coding skills and increase my chances of getting a good job?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 01:24 PM PDT

    Hi, I'm a second semester student in a 3 year college programming course. My course load previously was 7 courses, but it was too much for me and I dropped down to 5 courses a semester instead. This means I will be in school one extra year.

    I'm finding the pace a lot better and actually enjoying my courses. I have a lot more free time now, and I want to use it wisely.

    What can I do in my free time to become a better programmer and increase my likelihood of finding a good job?

    Cheaper Heroku?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 06:21 PM PDT

    I host my side business on Heroku but I like to thinker a lot with several small apps (not making money out of them most of the time). The free tier is very limited and I would feel like a leech using it, so, is there something similar to Heroku but way cheaper?

    I know how to manage my own VPS and could host a gazillion apps on Digital Ocean, Vultr or maybe OVH for like $3/$5 but I just can't be fucked to maintain everything myself again. I could use something like Dokku but it defeats the purpose since I'm still responsible for the underlying infrastructure.

    I like to pay a flat/fixed fee and be over with. I just H A T E how AWS and other cloud services make you use calculators, you might even get screwed if you forget to cancel it or misunderstand what a button does.

    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Is this a thing? File type/PDF that can be edited but only saved if the file name is changed.

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 07:06 PM PDT

    I'm not sure if this is the right sub for this and apologize if not. I also posted on r/techsupport

    I screwed up at work and am trying to think of a solution so it doesn't happen again. And if I could bring this solution to my boss it would go a way towards redemption and might make it easier to bounce back from our "total security breach" conversation. For the record I have decent understanding of my PC. Typically I would use google to help but either what I'm looking for doesn't exist or I'm not wording it right.

    I have a folder of blank forms on my computer that I pull from throughout the day to use or send to clients. They are editable PDFs. If I pull one of those forms and fill it out I always Save As to change the file name except for today when I didn't. Is there a way to alter those files so I can pull, fill them out, and only save by changing the file name? Or even a read only file that prompts me to change the file name after any edits are made and then unlocks? I'm not wording this right. If that's not possible, is there a way to do this in Fox It?

    Thank you for reading and I will appreciate any knowledge anyone is willing to throw my way.

    Open-source election canvassing app/website?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 06:42 PM PDT

    I didn't know where to turn to, but I figured programmers would have some open source ideas in mind...

    Does anyone know of a website or app that will allow you to import an Excel document with each line being a specific house, and then allow for the user to go door-to-door and then allow for specific details about the house? Such as a rating system, comments, etc

    I've used google but I couldn't find anything like that. Most big mainstream canvassing websites are very expensive and want more info than just a specific address before they create a profile for the house

    If the ID number has a login record within the last 24 hours of login, the button will be labeled as "Logout" after the user has typed the 6 digit ID Number.

    Any idea on how to code this on MySQL and c#.

    Loading Files into Python

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 12:21 PM PDT

    I am attempting to understand the difference between loading a data file into Python and into Matlab in order to translate some code. I have a line of code that goes:

    load('USGS_1995_Library')

    When I run the code in Matlab I know that the data is in workspace. There is a 224x501 double called datalib and a 501x29 double called names. The very next line of code is:

    wavlen=datalib(:,1); # Wavelengths in microns

    Thus I know that Matlab keeps the already established variables in the code without me needing to go back and parse through the data to define it.

    My question is, is there anything in Python that can emulate that same functionality? I did some research and found that I can use scipy.io to load a Matlab file (the file is a Matlab file). I know this will enable me to open the Matlab file using Python but does anybody have any experience and know if it will also load the variables and their definitions/values so that it can be used in the rest of the code?

    Thanks in advanced!

    ASP.NET: How to generate a SOAP-like or RPC-like client for an external REST API

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 11:38 AM PDT

    Apparently if the API were documented using Swagger, I could use AutoRest to generate the middleware automatically. There is also something called svcutil. Anyway the idea is to have something that just works seemlessly and can handle the API updating without changing the wrapper classes.

    TextWatcher in Android Studio

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 10:40 AM PDT

    I'm trying to make a TextView update from an EditText without having to click a submit button. I saw on stack overflow to use a TextWatcher, so I tried that, but when I try to add my methods to the TextWatcher OnTextChanged function they come up red. My code works without the TextWatcher, but someone suggested to make it so that the result TextView updates without clicking the submit button, so that's what I'm trying to do. Please help me figure out how to add methods to a TextWatcher without getting errors. All the error says is "Cannot resolve method...". Thanks

    How trivial is it to replace a pharmacist?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 06:50 AM PDT

    I saw a thread where pharmacists were giving themselves quite a bit of credit to:

    Recommend offbrand

    Stop allergy conflicts

    Stop medication conflicts

    This seems like a trivial sql database. Any reasons this doesnt already exist?

    Code is printing what it shouldn't be. Any suggestions?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 07:43 AM PDT

    I'm coding a program that reverses the numbers from 68-88 and then adds to it until you get a palindrome, then it tells you which number had the most steps. (It also shows you the steps) Whenever I run the code it rapidly prints out "0 -700523443" and then I get an overflow error. If someone could help me debug that would be great!

    Messing with Batch Processing: Creating a Graph

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 06:31 AM PDT

    https://pastebin.com/LnwtMXVR

    Essentially, I am having trouble creating a graph with the data above. I have tried if else statements inside of the batch file and they only changed the whole of my data to one value (year: 2000, population: 10k), the closest being when I put the statements after the file had closed.

    I'm just messing around with batch processing to get a better understanding of what I've been taught/what I'm reading about independently. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    Thanks!

    How to create an infinite scrollable loop for slotmachine JS

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 12:11 AM PDT

    So a while back I implemented the a slot machine library to my site. My intention was allowing the user to infinitely scroll through the icons like a slot machine. Though I cant figure out how to do it like the documentation/library website has it. My site rather goes back up, going past all the other icons rather than being infinite scroll like.

    What I have: https://gyazo.com/a265ec86bce7316098232608e723cadf

    What I want: https://gyazo.com/0f592ae2ce8c7951aa2b9095faafb01e

    Heres an website example: https://codepen.io/dogboy602k/pen/XBedMP

    Instascan QRCODE reader issue

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 05:13 AM PDT

    I am using the Instascan npm module to read the QR code which works extremely well on desktop. However, for some reason i cannot get the code to use the back camera when on mobile devices and front camera when on laptop.

    Here is the link to the docs. I tried to change the logic of the code by doing

    Instascan.Camera.getCameras().then(function (cameras)

    { if (cameras.length > 0)

    { scanner.start(cameras[1]); } //I changed the starting camera to 1.

    else

    { scanner.start(cameras[0]) )

    Changing the value of starting camera to 1 seems to do the job for phones but this also makes the desktop camera to stop working.

    Please help

    Need Help Spamming Even Faster

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 10:20 AM PDT

    So there's a game called IMVU, but there is a community on there called "Shooters" basically it all revolves around who can spam faster than the other person using AHK (autohotkey) and it's actually more fun than it sounds (this link is an example of what "shooting" is on imvu, basically you have AHK and a script that makes it to where if you hold 1 it paste and enters whatever you have copied basically making it spam in the chat and if you hold 2 it spams the last thing that you entered into the chat, but nonetheless this is what spamming is- https://youtu.be/DmdCTqSG8sA )but the thing is there is a way to make a modded client that makes whatever you type output twice. I was wondering if any programmer on here could maybe dig deep in the files of a custom imvu client I have and maybe make it so that my client has the same effect as to where whatever I type outputs twice or maybe even 4 times instead of just one single line. To get an idea of what I'm trying to say just watch this video https://youtu.be/l1inehjA9PU
