    What to do if your senior dev just got fired?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2019 12:46 PM PST

    I work on a small team as a Junior/Front-End/Intern.

    ​

    Today the senior dev who got us the position got fired....

    ​

    Some of the code that gets written for our applications gets written outsource, the Back-End gets written and managed by a in house dev and they also have an algorithms dev in house.

    ​

    I would like to keep my job but because we don't have a senior Front-End anymore.... So our position if we are kept would be to work underneath the outsource team or if they hire another Senior dev (I doubt it).

    ​

    I have enough experience to push on without him leading the team but sometimes there are bugs I don't know how to solve and also they will be looking for a team manager to build the version 2 of their application. (they have a few applications, the one I'm working on is in a framework I know but their main app is written in a different one that I don't have much experience with). The original plan was to rebuild the main app with the framework i'm comfortable with because React is great and Angular sucks... ;) and their version 1 is a pile of unusable garbage (quoting the senior developer)

    ​

    Now I just want the job and am willing to learn Angular or what ever but I would like to push to use React and I would like advice on systems so that I can push code and work without occasional assistance from the senior dev.

    [Help] Trying to set up VSCode to run C code on mac

    Posted: 16 Jan 2019 12:42 PM PST

    So I'm a complete and total noob. To the point where the help I try to find on google goes over my head. I keep running into the error of "MSBUILD : error MSB1003: Specify a project or solution file. The current working directory does not contain a project or solution file." I don't know how to get C code or Fortran running on VSCode and can't debug my code either. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it. Thanks

    I redid everything and when I click run code I get:cd "/Users/User/Desktop/NewTest/Even/.dist/" && gcc New -o && "/Users/User/Desktop/NewTest/Even/.dist/" clang: error: argument to '-o' is missing (expected 1 value)

    How do I hot reload a dependent package?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2019 07:10 PM PST

    I have a mono-repo React project I'm working on using lerna. I have a base component project , and then multiple app projects that rely on those components. Currently, I'm importing the component project by building it, and then referencing the build folder using lerna.

    However, when developing, I often am editing both the component project and one of the app projects. The workflow for this is usually to make the changes in the component project, build that, and then redeploy the webserver for the app (can't be running while build is running). This takes a lot of time, and I'm mostly just staring at the screen. It would make my life a lot easier if I could hot reload the changes in the component project when in development mode, similar to the webpack hot reload feature in the app projects. Problem is, I have no idea how to do this - my best guess has been to use watch to check for changes and then rerun my build, but that will take a lot of time.

    Is there a known way to hot reload one package that is a dependency of another package? Any help would be much appreciated!

    Save arbitrarily lengthed array of pixel data to an image in C

    Posted: 16 Jan 2019 09:43 AM PST

    I'm trying to make a mandelbrot set generator, however my monitor is fairly low resolution so rendering it using opengl and then screenshotting wont produce very high quality images. I need some sort of library function where I can pass in a width value, height value, and an array of, say, rgba pixel data, and have it spit out an image file with a resolution defined by width and height. The array of pixel data will always match up with the width and height values, so there's no need to do any re-scaling, just want to write data into an image file.

    [Help] Have a technical interview that doesnt sound like it will be DSA per se, not really sure how to prepare.

    Posted: 16 Jan 2019 05:51 PM PST

    So I just landed my first in-person technical interview for an internship that I would honestly kill for. It is exactly where I want to work/live, their office was amazing, and I feel like I stand a good chance if I can interview well.

    As mentioned this will be my first in-person which definitely gives me a little nerves, but I am ready to take whatever result I get from interviewing and move forward with more interview experience, and am as excited as I am terrified.

    I myself have honestly only really began hammering away at LC over the past week or so, and have knocked out a few easy questions, but am in no way super confident outside of an easy DSA question which has me a little worried.

    What I was told: The interview is mentioned as being an "iterative coding excercise" and that I will be walking through lines of code with the individual interviewing me. Finally it is mentioned that it will mostly be testing my understanding of the principles of CS through these excercises.

    My question: To me this sounds like it will not really be focusing on DSA, but I could be mistaken, can I ask this sub what you would cover in preparing for an interview like this?

    I feel like it sounds like it is mostly my Sophmore CS courses where I really learned how to use Java with if statements, loops, abstract classes, interfaces, etc...

    Does that sound right?

    If so, I just ran through FizzBuzz to make sure I could solve it, which I had no problem doing, but I am not really sure of a good resource to practice these types of problems.

    I feel like there could potentiially be some debugging questions like some of the questions you would see in an Amazon interview, and I honestly didnt do super well as I know how to debug, but not as quickly as I should have.

    Would anyone have a good resource for debugging questions as well as those in teh same vain as FizzBuzz?

    I likely have a week or two to prepare for this interview, and am going to continue to hammer away at LC as I have finally really gotten into working through the problems (And enjoying it!), but for covering everything else I feel like I am not quite sure what to focus on, and would be interested in what this sub suggests for preparation.

    Thanks for reading!

    Modifying the user interface of ImageJ (Image Analysis software)

    Posted: 16 Jan 2019 05:02 PM PST

    I have developed a plugin for ImageJ which uses much of the functionality of the image analyzing software and I would like to modify the user interface of ImageJ in Eclipse (ImageJ is open source and is in Java) so just my plugin is visible to the user. This will make things much simpler for those using my specific plugin.

    ​

    I've never worked on modifying large projects and I find it difficult to understand the structure of the code and how to find the relevant UI related classes that I will need to use and modify.

    ​

    Does anyone have experience with modifying ImageJ UI and have any relevant advice? (I know that is a very very specific request...)

    OR

    Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on how best to tackle the project that I'm working on?

    Do you commit failing tests/code with compiler errors locally?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2019 12:25 PM PST

    I understand that it is a best practice to only push working code the shared repository, but is the same true when committing to your local repository? I know when you push your commits to the shared repository it'll merge your local history, but the head should still be working code if you follow best practices right?

    Ideas for data persistence in a very simple local HTML file I have?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2019 12:15 PM PST

    This is going to sound very dumb as it is a really simple matter but I am blank.

    I created a very simple local "page" to help me automatize something. It just generates a bunch of links. The data necessary to generate the links was hardcode in the js code, and figured I would make it more dynamic by extracting all that data into some kind of primitive, simple persistence: a file!

    Turns out that reading a local text file is nearly impossible with js.

    What are my alternatives here? Setting up a local server, even if lightweight and portable, seems like an extreme overkill. I would have to look into it, go through all the setup, install the dependencies (making it no longer portable as it is now)... too much fuss for something so simple.

    So how could I possible use a text file to input data used by my local page/tool? What are some other simple alternatives?

    How would you create an application that generates Energy Guide labels?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2019 03:52 PM PST

    A large dysfunctional corporation has tasked you with the job of making an application that will generate thousands of Energy Guide labels for various appliances by accepting a list of values and incorporating them into the graphic. They ask you, a newly hired programmer to do this job instead of hiring a team of graphic designers or outsourcing the job to an agency (which is what they have been doing for the past 20 years, because apparently no one at this corporation knows how to make a label and they don't think it's worth hiring someone who does). They believe that you, with your programming magic, can surely automate such a trivial task. How do you go about making an application that will please the woefully incompetent middle-managers of this super-mega corp?

    Help with login authentication in WKWebView

    Posted: 16 Jan 2019 02:14 PM PST

    When accessing the website in Safari, it'll ask for a username and password.

    I'm trying to wrap the website into an app for reasons, however I can't get the username/password prompt to initiate.

    This is the code I have as of now:

    import UIKit import WebKit class ViewController: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate, WKUIDelegate { var webView: WKWebView! override func loadView() { let webConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration() webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: webConfiguration) webView.uiDelegate = self view = webView } func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didReceive challenge: URLAuthenticationChallenge, completionHandler: @escaping (URLSession.AuthChallengeDisposition, URLCredential?) -> Void) { let user = "*****" let password = "*****" let credential = URLCredential(user: user, password: password, persistence: URLCredential.Persistence.forSession) challenge.sender?.use(credential, for: challenge) } override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let myURL = URL(string: "http://WebsiteName")! let myRequest = URLRequest(url: myURL) webView.load(myRequest) } }

    I expected there to be a username/login prompt box but it just remains as a 401 error with no prompt.

    [Requesting Examples] Of the weirdest CSS you've ever encountered.

    Posted: 15 Jan 2019 11:32 PM PST

    I am trying to break a package I created. The gist of it is that it parses stylesheet files. But as often is the case, it's hard to think of all of the edge cases for something if you're looking at it from the inside out.

    So what is some of the weirdest lines of CSS / SCSS you've ever encountered? Really throw some gross stuff at me. My only request is nothing that has been minified or compressed. Other than that, the world is your oyster.

    Mapping a JSON object to an XSD/XML schema

    Posted: 15 Jan 2019 11:50 PM PST

    Hi all,

    First off, excuse me if this is a question with an obvious tool/language/framework for an answer. I'm reintegrating into the IT world after close to a decade in the military doing technical-but-not-IT stuff. Anyways.

    I'm working with a third-party service that exposes a RESTful API, which sends JSON objects in response to queries. On my end, the structures represented by those JSON objects, should be stored as XML files. I've created an XSD schema for those XML files.

    So what I'm really wondering is if there's a tool where I can define a "mapping schema" that describes how the JSON object structure corresponds to my XSD schema, and leave it to that tool to generate an XML file from the mapping.

    Because my instinctive response is to write a python script that gets the JSON objects, iterates through them, and creates XML structures from each element of the JSON objects. Which I don't mind, but I've been out of the game for 9 years, and I have no idea if there's another, preferred way to do this.

    Thanks!
