    What resources for learning about computer programming sub-disciplines and careers do you recommend?

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 12:02 PM PDT

    I am a mechanical engineer, but I'm feeling dissatisfied in this field of work. I'm considering switching to computer programming. Most of my programming has been in C++ and Matlab. In C++, I've created libraries for matrix math, programmed various numerical methods and gotten to pointers, but just barely. I've also done a lot with Arduino. In Matlab, I've done a lot with matrices and Eigen values. In all of these things, I've really enjoyed the programming that I've done, which is what makes me think I might actually really enjoy this.

    Making the switch is a little intimidating to me because "computer programming" is such a broad area with so many different directions within it. I could go into web design or I could try data science or any number of any other fields, most of which I don't even know exist. This leads to my question. Do you know of any good resources online that do a good job of breaking down the different career areas and options within computer programming and describe what each of them typically does?

    Thank you for any help you can give!

    Neural Network Part 1 - Machine Learning Tutorial

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 02:57 PM PDT

    Resource for a project based learning like CryptoZombies.io for other languages (Java, C) ?

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 08:57 AM PDT

    Greetings,

    So I've been learning java for a while now and the thing with all the tutorials is that they just explain the basics of how everything work (which is a good thing obviously, lets us use our ideas to create projects) but I was hoping of trying out something similar to CryptoZombies where we create a fully functioning game using solidity while learning about it as well.

    Are there any similar java resources that I can try ?

    Thanks

    An idea to learn coding together, if it is liked, we can think of ways to implement it.

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 11:13 AM PDT

    Hi All,

    I have been trying to learn coding for 4 years, thought I have been successful to learn the basic, but could never turn this learning into something serious or actionable.

    In this failure for learning multiple times, I have understood that, the reason for failure is mostly because learning to code is a very lonely task and we tend to loose track after a while.

    I was thinking of this idea, where as a lot of people might be aware of the Feynman Technique of learning, where someone explains a topic in a very bare basic way so that a layman can also understand.

    The amount of technological advance we have with internet, we can mentor each other so that the process of learning may not be so lonely.

    Kindly discuss the idea, or any other alternative to the problem, so that we can help each other learn programming.

    EDIT

    Please send me a PM who are interested in this idea, will try to create a google groups with interested learner.

    How do computer differentiate between letters and numbers?

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 10:48 PM PDT

    Binary value of both 70 and 'F' is same. So how does computer know if it's letter or number?

    What are some good recommendations for projects to learn to code?

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 11:25 PM PDT

    Currently, I am going through the beginning stages of learning to code. I am taking Harvard's CS50 course online, and I will also be reading an introductory book on Python (How to Automate the Boring Stuff) as well as one on Javascript (eloquent javascript).

    However, through reading the forums I have come to the conclusion that reading and classes is not enough.

    What projects would you recommend I complete in the following languages in order to build my base?

    I would like to build about 3 projects for each of the following. One easy, one medium, and one slightly difficult. (totaling about 12 projects). Note that this will be done over a year or two of time as I learn.

    • HTML, CSS, and Javascript (I've come to the understanding that the three of these work together, so 3 projects utilizing all three at once).
    • Python
    • Swift
    • PHP, SQL and Jquerry (also have heard that these go together)

    Where can I get started with Assembly programming?

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 09:11 PM PDT

    I've seen links for IDEs and language frameworks that support Java, Python, JavaScript, C++, you name it. I've never seen download links for Assembly, though. Where can I find a programming environment for this, along with a good tutorial? My goal is to build an OS.

    I believe my PC has an x86-64 processor, if that helps.

    Insertion Sort algorithm help - C#

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 09:01 PM PDT

    Below is my insertion sort algorithm I have been working on for double digit hours. It has to fit within this template essentially (following the pseudo-code given by the assignment so the number of swaps matches the unit test).

    I have seen every example that exists online I think, none of them fit quite into this given template. I understand how this should work but nothing I do works. I am trying to sort a list of animals by their weight and I am desperate for help. This is my last resort, everyone I know in person has given shrugs as to a solution.

    https://gist.github.com/GreyIceWater/a9e73252ada83143fe76a92df4946421

    I need this to do exactly 108 swaps and sort my list of 21 animals by weight ascending. It is currently swapping 14 times and not sorting. Help!!

    What is a good resource for learning how to build a self-hosted and federated application similar to Mastodon or PeerTube?

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 04:31 PM PDT

    I'm aiming to build something similar to Etsy but one that is open-source and federated, so anyone can start their own instance of it, it isn't centralized, etc. Any insight into how to make this happen would be really helpful. Thanks

    Need SQL help with Foreign Key referencing

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 11:35 PM PDT

    SQL keeps giving me an error when trying to reference the REASON_cld table in my APPTDETAIL_cld table.

    CREATE TABLE REASON_cld ( ApptReasonCode CHAR(3), ApptReasonDesc VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (ApptReasonCode) ) ; CREATE TABLE APPTDETAIL_cld ( ApptID NUMBER(3), ApptReasonCode CHAR(3), BlockCode CHAR(2), PRIMARY KEY (ApptID, ApptReasonCode) FOREIGN KEY (ApptReasonCode) REFERENCES REASON_cld, FOREIGN KEY (BlockCode) REFERENCES BLOCK_cld ) ; 

    The error comes at the line "FOREIGN KEY (ApptReasonCode) REFERENCES REASON_cld," in which it tells me:

    "ERROR at line 6:

    ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis"

    I'm not the most observant of people, but i swear i see parenthesis where they should be. If anyone would be willing to lend some eyes, i'd appreciate it.

    Edit: Issue is solved, for some reason it was giving me a parentheses error, when it was an error with line 5 not having a comma.

    Big Data and DevOps, which is easier to learn?

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 06:48 PM PDT

    TL;DR - Which skills are easier to learn first between ones needed for data engineering or devops?

    First and foremost, I know it's better to go with what interests you most, but these are the two field I've been most interested in. I also understand in a perfect world, it's better to learn both since they can go hand in hand and compliment each other, maybe I will learn both but I feel overwhelmed at the sheer amount of possible career paths.

    I'm a college student and was ultimately afraid of going into the data analysis field because of people saying that you need a bachelors degree and strong math background (I'm doing an advanced diploma, and while I feel I'm good a the math I already know that there is still a lot more of it that I would need to know). I particularly became interested in what would probably be more formally known as "data engineering" where the focus is more in programming than advanced math.

    Originally before I had done much research I was set on doing backend work, but after some research DevOps looked pretty appealing too. I looked at lot of different things, and did as much of my own research as I could before narrowing it down to these fields. I have a bad habit of analysis paralysis and wanted to just go with "both" but I think that might be putting too much on my plate to START with. Which skills would be easier to learn first, or if I were to only learn one?

    My program curriculum doesn't cover python, and will only be covering C, C++, SQL, JS, HTML and unix based systems for the next year, before giving me the option for co-op. I want to be prepared for co-op placements by the end of 2019, so I've been doing all my C assignments in Python and Golang too in my free time for extra practice since I know my school wont teach me any of those languages anyways. I want to focus on just one of Data Analysis or DevOps skills on top of this to prep for my co-op placements, and would prefer to learn the easier ones so I don't overwhelm myself.

    Can somebody help me fix this segmentation fault?

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 06:45 PM PDT

    I cannot for the life of me figure out what is wrong with my code. I've never really dealt with pointers before and that's how my instructor had us define our arrays. https://gist.github.com/Squidard/5e8c99df40220734e499545382b5e122

    [C++] "Kill Bit" Vol. 1

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 09:15 PM PDT

    I have solved the Kill the Kth Bit in the stupidest way! Look:

    https://github.com/Chubek/CodingChallenges/tree/master/KillBitEncoder

    Instead of using bitwise operators, I have twisted and hacked my way through God knows how many programming rules. And I have something to show for it, but is it worth it? It makes me look like a novice, which I am, but I don't want to be. Let's say I do that like this in an interview. What'll happen? Also, could you tell me how can I solve this using bitwise operators in C++? Thanks.

    package-lock.json security vulnerability

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 11:08 AM PDT

    Yesterday evening GitHub gave me a "high severity" alert for three package-lock.json's in three different repositories. This is what the alert notification said:

    "The merge.recursive function in the merge package in versions before 1.2.1 can be tricked into adding or modifying properties of the Object prototype. These properties will be present on all objects allowing for a denial of service attack."

    Then in the Remediation, it says:

    "Upgrade merge to version 1.2.1 or later. For example:

    "dependencies": { "merge": ">=1.2.1" }

    or...

    "devDependencies": { "merge": ">=1.2.1" }

    "

    Hackerone says that this vulnerability allows for a prototype pollution attack (!?) but I didn't find anything else from my googling, so I tried to simply update npm, and it added some new packages, so I pushed the update, but I'm not sure that it fixed anything.

    How do I take care of this?

    [MacbookPro] Bootcamp or VMWare?

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 08:46 AM PDT

    Hello everyone!

    I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this, but I am getting a Macbook Pro, and primarily I am going to use it to work with Xcode. But I also need it for other languages. To my understanding, Visual Studio on Mac isn't the best for C#? Or C++? Either way, if I want to use VS to the best, I would need Windows OS, right? Then what is the best optimal way to install Windows OS? Is VMWare not gonna be too laggy? Is Bootcamp too overkill?

    I have done bootcamp before on my older macbook pro to play games, and it was great and all but it was a little annoying having to restart the macbook to enter the other OS. But I thought Bootcamp would be more optimized user experience. Please advise me on what I shuold do! Thank you!

    edit: the specs im getting are:
    * 2.2GHz 6-core 8th-generation Intel Core i7 processor
    * 16gb ddr4 RAM
    * 256gb SSD

    HTML table

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 07:23 PM PDT

    I have to edit a preexisting web page and turn a series of <p> statements listing times and dates into a table

     <table id="red-team-scheduel"> <thead> <tr> <th>date</th> <th>time</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr><td>Aug 21</td><td>6:00pm</td></tr> <tr><td>Aug 28</td><td>8:00pm</td></tr> <tr><td>Aug 31</td><td>11:00am</td></tr> <tr><td>Sep 3</td><td>8:00pm</td></tr> <tr><td>Sep 10</td><td>8:00pm</td></tr> <tr><td>Sep 21</td><td>11:00am</td></tr> <tr><td>Sep 30</td><td>4:00pm</td></tr> <tr><td>Oct 9</td><td>8:00pm</td></tr> </tbody> </table> 

    problem is when I go back to check the webpage not only does it not display this table but for some reason it still displays the old <p> statements which I converted into comments. What's going wrong here? Also I'm supposed to assign the tables various class id's (in this case red-team-scheduel) am I doing that right?

    Is PHP really THAT bad?

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 07:19 PM PDT

    I'm kind of poor at the moment, so I have to go with Hostinger for my web hosting, which costs about $5 every three months or so. They say they get what you pay for, though, and Hostinger doesn't support Python, NodeJS, or any of the "good" web development frameworks. All it supports, as far as I know, are HTML, CSS, Javascript, and of course, PHP (keep in mind this is referring to their 'Shared Hosting' plan which is cheapest for me). I get slack for using PHP, of course, and I defend myself honestly and say I don't have many other options.

    But is PHP really that bad?

    I've been using it for the past few months or so and it's been pretty okay for me honestly. It's moderately hard to learn, but that can be helped using shameless Google searches. The two websites I own (guess I can't link them...?) are all built with PHP and MySQL, and honestly, it hasn't been that hard to use, especially when I get the hang of it. So why does PHP get so much slack? Whats so bad about it compared to other languages?

    Need advice, Im losing my mind over this.

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 06:54 PM PDT

    Quick backstory:

    Took a break from school due my parents going thru a divorce (i currently live at home due to it being to expensive being on my own while working and going to college). Couldn't balance work and college so i decided to take a break. It's been two and half semesters since I've attended class. Im majoring in computer science and I want to have a career in that field. Due to the divorce, I have became extremely depressed with crippling anxiety. I have bald spots due to stress because my parents are constantly fighting and throwing me (23 M) in the middle of it. My two closest friends have graduated college and have degrees. Friend 1 graduated with a Bachelors in Computer Science and works in that field while friend 2 graduated with a degree in biology but also attended a Computer Science bootcamp (hack reactor) and got a job instantly in computer science after the 12 week course. Which brings me to this question.

    Question:

    Should I just attend the 12 week Computer Science bootcamp and get a job in that field? ~90% of people who attend the computer science bootcamp instantly get a job in the field after an interview during the 12th week of the program. Or should I finish school (i have about 2 years left) and get a degree? Time is of the essence due to my parents selling the house once the divorce is finalized. Please, I'm just looking for serious advice as this is a dark time in my life. Thank you
