    Does a CS degree prepare you for a job in programming?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 09:10 PM PDT

    I'm not looking for a job due to the fact that I'm not even done with high school yet lol but I've seen pictures of job requests (if that's what you can call them?) that say things like "needs 7 years of Java use in top tier application development" or things like that and I just think "there's no way I'll be good enough ever for these jobs". How well does CS prepare someone for a job in programming?

    Low Code Web App Development that allows exports?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 02:51 PM PDT

    Hey all, sorry if this is a common one.

     

    I've been looking into low code web app development for a pet project. There are so many options out there but they all seem to be cloud based services. I think the potential of these are cool and I'm fine with spending more time than I anticipate learning code for some more complex features but are there any options that will eventually allow to me export and own what I've made?

     

    For example, I keep coming across Bubble.is which seems to say all the right things. Low to no code, intuitive drag and drop UI, add code if you want, doing things in the back end (lol?) and all that jazz. The problem I'm having is if I ever made something functional for myself, or even less likely a "client", it seems as though I don't actually own anything I've made. I couldn't make a silly website that farts in different languages for a friend without also giving them a payment plan that lasts to infinity and beyond.

     

    Am I totally wrong? Have I missed some really easy search words during my googling? I don't mind paying money for cool software like this and I would be easily swayed to use their hosting if I needed it but there must be a company that's made similar software that can build a web app without always being tied to a payment plan. No? A standalone program or non-cloud-based service? I've used programs like Game Maker and Unity which will export something "tangible" when you've made something, an exe. I know it's not the same thing but those are both also just tools for creating and I can take that exe and give it to my friend and that app can fart forever without costing my friend additional money to work. I'm not trying to bash software as a service (although it's cancer), I'm just wondering if there are any options out there...

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Can I get the info that is going to an iOS app?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 06:10 PM PDT

    An app I have is loading data into a table view, and I need a way to get it into an excel sheet. I'm familiar with iOs programming but not so much with networking. I'm not even sure where to start so any help is appreciated!

    What do you need to learn to be a back-end web developer?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 12:41 AM PDT

    Hello fellow developers,

    I got into a programming 2 years ago, and I'm very interested in back-end web development. I firstly started on PHP and MYSQL, building some basic websites and applications. After that, for a last 8 months, I got into Laravel framework and I really like it. I started to develop some more serious and more difficult web applications to really get into it. Now, as I'm learning, I realized there's much more behind back-end than just Laravel, so my question is, what programming languages/programs should I start to learn next? I thought about learning Javascritp, node, angular and that stuff, but not really sure where to start. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you

    What would be a real world scenario that could lead to the development of an encoding/visualization like the Matrix's digital rain?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 07:47 AM PDT

    I understand the usage of Asian characters facilitating having more information per character as they're more numerous than English alphanumeric, allowing more bits per "slot"; but why would you want/need it being displayed like that, with columns being written gradually from the top, some characters staying in place, others being overwritten, and some occasional vertical gaps scattered? Could the fading brightness actually be part of the encoding and not just an artifact of the type of display used?

    Ideas for launching software small business

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 01:28 PM PDT

    As a software developer less than two years in the industry, I would like to know, how could I start my own small business? What might be some interesting areas to look into accordingly to my experience and technical know-how?

    If we're talking about starting a business with lower risk, then opening a service-based business comes to my mind. This usually means acquiring local B2B clients and solving their problems as this should be easier than developing your own product and launching it on global market, where one is competing against whole world instead with only local competition.

    However, the problem is that with my current experience, realistically looking, I am only able to deliver working prototypes, but not some high quality, stable, bug-free and complete solutions that could be certified accordingly to some iso standards. Even if I'd be able to deliver fully functional product that is fine for the end-user, it could be totally uninteresting for my actual client (B2B) because my coding standards aren't that good. For instance, currently I am in a junior role and I develop prototypes. While for the end user the app would be fine, for senior developers and especially for architects, the code itself would a piece of sh*t (memory leaks, bad structure, potential incompatibility issues, not optimized code, not complying with this or that standard, rubbish documentation...you name it). To be honest, I might be able to pull some decent quality level, if I would only work on my own product for some prolonged time, but juggling with different projects and different clients where all needs to be done on time AND with high quality in all aspects, then I have a problem. I assume that serious B2B clients have their own IT departments and they do know who they are hiring and what they are paying for. Therefore they aren't clueless clients with zero awareness in IT, so you can't really sell them mediocre shit.

    That being said, I do believe that for B2B-oriented company one needs an actual expertise, a consultant-tier expertise.

    In case that I am not wrong, I wonder how to shape business more around ideas and originality, and dodge the lack of experience and technical know-how? After all, the end-user doesn't care about that, for him it's only important that the stuff works, that it doesn't crash (so often) while the spaghetti code or modules with circular dependencies are his last concern.

    How did Google manage to screw up Google Finance so badly?

    It's so bad now, that I've actually started going back to Yahoo, which I had nearly forgotten even existed.

    Java, C#, and Python. Which one is better, if they're all the same what does each do the best?

    Investing time in learning native app development == waste of time?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 02:09 PM PDT

    I spent like half of year learning java and android studio, and I still know nothing. I downloaded android studio followed by downloading few sample projects from github, hoping that I could quickly compile something out of the box and star playing. When I hit run button, screen turned red, being overflown with errors. Absolutely nothing worked out of the box no matter how I tried, and I had to-date version of AS and not so old source codes. But before even starting to develop actual code, I needed to learn some scripting so I could be able to even run some shitty hello world. By scripting I mean gradle. It's one of those what-the-fuck things that I still don't get. Dependencies, types, flavors, maven, compile, include, release, debug, SDK version, android system version, target version, ....oh and I didn't even touch app architecture that is all but intuitive ti build. It's a madhouse and I don't even know how to ever get productive with this shit, let alone how to build HQ software with it. For every damn small change I need wait few minds so it gets compiled, and finally spitting me an error all over the screen. And that quick deploy feature actually prevents me to deploy anything so i have to turn it off.

    Seriously, prototyping with this stuff, not even once.

    maybe i made a mistake by not learning xamarin. but in any case i envy web devs, as everything works out of the box and compile time is shortest than the blink of the eye (the time needed to press F5).

    How can i prevent codeformatter ST3 plugin from format arrays and objects?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 05:05 AM PDT

    I have the configuration to format automatically on save.

    I format my objects like this:

    var movieQuotes = { 'slumdog_millionaire' : 'When somebody asks me a question, I tell them the answer.', 'silver_linings_playbook' : 'I opened up to you, and you judged me.', 'the_lives_of_others' : 'To think that people like you ruled a country.', 'the_shawshank_redemption': 'Get busy living, or get busy dying.' }; 

    But when i save it gets like this:

    var movieQuotes = { 'slumdog_millionaire': 'When somebody asks me a question, I tell them the answer.', 'silver_linings_playbook': 'I opened up to you, and you judged me.', 'the_lives_of_others': 'To think that people like you ruled a country.', 'the_shawshank_redemption': 'Get busy living, or get busy dying.' }; 

    (In javascript files*)

    Is there an easy way to format tags, like <a> (example included)?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 03:47 AM PDT

    Hi. This might be a dumb question. But I find myself fighting this enough to ask. Sometimes I'd like my <a> tags to be on the same line, but occasionally others will beautify the code, so it looks more like this:

    <a class="navbar-item" href="/documentation/overview/start/">

    Overview

    </a>

    I'd like to be able to format lots of these so that they look like this:

    <a class="navbar-item" href="/documentation/overview/start/">Overview</a>

    Is this a thing people encounter? Am I fighting the wrong fight? If I'm not, can anyone suggest a way to do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    What are the ‘other parts’ of machine learning?

    I've read that deep learning is just one method used in machine learning. If so, what are the other methods?

    How to divide a video into frames and analyse the colour concentration in each frame?

    Posted: 29 Aug 2018 11:13 PM PDT

    I want to analyse the colour concentration in each frame of video and determine whether a particular concentration of colour is present sufficiently or not.

    Anybody knows how can I implement this in Python Opencv?

    Any articles or links would be appreciated.
