    What technologies implementations should a web developer know?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2019 06:08 PM PDT

    Good day people I will write a short summary so that you can understand better the question.

    I'm a mexican living on mexico.

    I graduated as a software engineer from a local college (the technical title is something like Computed Systems Engineer), so my first job was on a funeral services company that used windows forms, most of its code was pretty messy and dated from 2005, some formularies had over 30K lines of codes of redundant processes, on this first job I learnt.

    +How to properly do methods to save up on coding expenses.

    +Make code that can be re-used (on a basic leve)

    +The basics of C# winforms and webforms

    +The basics of javascript and how .NET works, checked also a bit of Entity framework (mostly bug fixing)

    +How to find bugs on extremely messy codes.

    So, I decided to move from this job once I worked for the company for 1 year because I felt like I had learnt quite a bit and most of the work was becoming bug fixing from the previous iterations of a prior decade's code.

    Next company was a more serious software developing oriented company.

    I got totally crushed once the first project came in, CSS, SASS, Angular JS, API's production as well as consumption, how to make front end operations with TypeScript, how to cleanly do HTML, how to make good designs and bla bla bla...

    Basically I was raped violently. The senior developers would often mock me for having an engineering degree but not knowing the basics of those technologies (despite me being a junior with only 1 year and a few months of experience) so basically, while I learnt the basics of those technologies, right now Im unemployed (was terminated from my previous job due to health circumstances and incompetence) and will soon become work-able active once more, I would like to become a better software developer, my aim is to become one day a full stack developer.

    Right now, I know that I need to learn more about theory regarding C# (for starters) like how OOP trully works and how to maximize its potential, also how to make interfaces.

    However, when it comes to the whole spectrum of web developing I'm seriously overwhelmed, so I wished to know, from the experts out there (that I know are eager to crush me just like my past colleagues) what paths should I look for in order to start learning better, what should I focus on, any reccomendations for books, sites for learning,sites for challenges, technologies I should investigate?

    I have done some investigation by myself, however I kind of feel like Im throwing blows at random on the air, which is why, again, I wish to approach the experts, so that one day in a few years I can also be decent enough on the craft!

    Thank you very much for reading my plea, have a good day!

    CMake. How do I even?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2019 08:31 PM PDT

    Hi all. I am attempting to interact with CMake and it is going poorly... or maybe this experience is what CMake going well feels like, I don't know. It's bad enough that I don't even know what search terms might help. So far every time I've attempted to describe the problem to Google or Stack Overflow it has degenerated into profanities and literal Y-U-NO-esque claw shaking. The guys in the next cube know what I'm trying to do and are steering clear. I haven't physically assaulted my (company's) monitor yet, but I can feel it's not far off. Please help.

    I have an existing medium sized Python and C++ codebase that uses CMake. This much I have deduced by finding CMakeLists.txt files in various directories. Why I invoke it by typing catkin is beyond me, but probably not relevant to solving the problem, I have proven that the CMakeLists files are used by intentionally creating syntax errors in the one I'm trying to modify and checking that they break the build.

    My goal is to use the build system to compile Flatbuffer .fbs files into a form that I can import and operate on in Python. Following https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/flatbuffers_guide_building.html I have added the flatbuffers repo as a subdirectory, and I have verified that part by intentionally adding a typo to the subdirectory path and verifying that it creates an error. So far so good.

    Next up I'm pretty sure I want to use the build_flatbuffers function (documented: https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/blob/master/CMake/BuildFlatBuffers.cmake ) to build the flatbuffers. I have a sample file (copied from the flatbuffers docs, but with a semicolon deleted so it shouldn't build...), and I added the line build_flatbuffers("msg/monster.fbs" "" flatbuffer_messages "" "" "" "") to the same CMakeLists.txt file as I added the subdirectory... and everything builds without errors.

    My current best guess is that it isn't being built because nothing is forcing it to run the flatbuffer_messages thing (target?) that I defined. I've tried pasting that name in various spots, including after the word PRIVATE in a call to target_link_libraries, and elsewhere in the file. And I've manually invoking it with catkin build flatbuffer_messages. AND NOTHING DOES ANYTHING AND I HOPE CMAKE ROTS IN A DITCH. Does software compile? Is that still a thing? Did I not notice the part where I died and got sent to hell?

    The cmake guides show these examples that are so sterilized that they probably work, but when faced with real code how am I supposed to figure out how to get it to fail to build broken source?? It just keeps building without a care in the world.

    Please help, or at least can you help me search for help?

    Full-time job is it enough for a good programmer?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2019 12:26 PM PDT

    Hello r/AskProgramming, I'm 20 y.o. full-time front-end developer. But sometimes I feel it is not enough.

    Usually, at the end of my day, I try to improve myself with some side projects or by solving programming tasks (HackerRank, Codewars, etc.) but it's hard to stay focused and active after a long day.

    So what is the next step for the programmer? Is learning while working is enough, or I should continue my self-education after job?

    If you have some advice or own similar experience please write a comment.

    Setting up a website cheaply

    Posted: 12 Mar 2019 10:25 AM PDT

    I'm in the process of learning to code myself but don't yet have the skills to build my own website. However, I'd like to launch a tutoring website as quickly as possible and I'm looking for a way to do so cheaply. I have some questions I'd really appreciate your input on. Thank you!

    1. My current thinking was to make something in Wordpress and then to link it to a free hosting platform like infinity free. I can only see a way to use my own domain name if I pay a fee, though. Is there a way to do this for free?
    2. If all goes to plan and I can code my own more complex version of the site in six months time, will it be easy to move the site to a new hosting platform and to keep any google reviews I receive?

    Code signing certs, why are they such a pain?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2019 08:56 PM PDT

    I have an open source project that requires code signing to be of much use. With Startcom finally being removed from Windows's trusted CAs, I am having to buy another code signing cert.

    Why is the process still such a pain and expensive, when Let's Encrypt has basically solved SSL certs? Why do CAs require one to submit a bunch of documents to prove one's identity?

    What good does it do to a user to know that an exe came from Joe Blow as opposed to Jane Doe, when what they do know is they downloaded it from appwebsite.com and would like to know the exe is from the same people as the website? And it's not even useful for companies: one could register an Adobe ltd or whatever in Barbados, get an organization cert for that, and people would happily run whatever thinking it's made by the Photoshop authors.

    How do you edit open source projects with/without an IDE?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2019 06:57 PM PDT

    I am typically used to embedded C development using Code Composer, and IDE where every application is its own project. I have features such as autocomplete, ctrl-click to find symbol declarations, one-click build, and a built in debugger.

    I've noticed that open source projects on github are typically no more than a collection of source code in a set of folders, and make scripts.

    How then is your typical workflow? How do you conveniently make edits, write-code, compile and debug? Do you...

    1. Clone the repo, do all your editing in vim/emacs/notepad++, forgo autocomplete and ctrl-click, then rerun the make script in bash?
    2. Clone the repo, then import the source files into a new project in an IDE of your choosing, let it scan the code, and work from there?
    3. Clone the repo and open the source directory into an IDE that doesn't use a project-based workflow (e.g VSCode)?

    Is sticking to a single Frontend framework/library will risk my career?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2019 09:31 PM PDT

    Dear all,
    I am having a fear for last couple of months. I am working with a company for a year after graduating on 2017. This is my first job and working with Angular 2+ here. Because of some issues I am looking for a new job. But, I got it disappointing when I found so less job opportunities (both locally and remotely) for Angular relative to ReactJS. I have got a offer today from a company who are also working with Angular. If, I work there I will certainly enter into Angular ecosystem.

    I am having a fear that will my experience with Angular for one/two years will be just void after one/two years? Because no one wants to hire a developer who has not related experience.

    Program to create digital booklet from PDFs (Submittal Book for product data)?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2019 07:22 PM PDT

    I am looking to simplify the process of creating a data book. What we do now is download individual data sheets of our products to be used in a project and insert one by one to create one large book for EACH job we do. We have a standard cover page, bill of materials for the products required in that specific job, and TABS or chapters for the product types indicated in the bill of material. I was trying to figure out if there was a program or function where the cover page, data sheets, and chapter pages are compiled into a library of the premade data sheets (PDFS) where I can check off boxes for the documents I require and then to compile them into a book? I hope this makes sense, I did a Google search but I can't find any good answers because I don't exactly know what to search for...

    Can I do this with acrobat or with another program? Would this be a simple program to write??

    how to save the output of a function in octave

    Posted: 12 Mar 2019 03:19 PM PDT

    im sorry if this is a "simple" question, but I've been searching for at least an hour with no luck.

    I have the following octave code:

    function [theta,J] = grada (x, y, alpha, num_iters)

    m=length(y)

    X=[ones(m,1),x] theta=rand(1,length(X(1,:)))'

    p=1

    P=zeros(num_iters,1)

    for i=1:num_iters

    P(p)=sum((X*theta)-y)

    theta = theta - alpha * ((1/m) * ((X * theta) - y)' * X)'

    p=p+1

    end

    J=(1/(2m))sum((X*theta)-y)2

    plot(P,P.2)

    end

    and I want to make it so after I run the code, I can type "theta" and "J" and have the octave command prompt display the values for these variables that were output by the function, but it instead it just shows whatever I'd previously set them to, or 0 if id not set them.

    I want these values overwritten by the function after completing automatically.

    thanks.

    Simple drag and drop "marble jar" - what language?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2019 05:16 AM PDT

    Hello!

    This might seem like a strange request but I'm wondering what might be the best language to code something like this in -

    https://imgur.com/a/T5kx2Sr

    Excuse the crude mockup but I'd basically like to try to limit my spending by giving myself "marbles" to use each week. e.g. 3 coffee marbles, etc, etc.

    I'd like something where I could drag and drop the marbles at the top and they'd fall into their correct column.

    Thanks!

    What is the best way to reconcile two lists (e.g. a local database table and an API)?

    Posted: 12 Mar 2019 10:10 AM PDT

    For example, I have a database table called email_subscribers that is comprised of a list of email addresses. I want to make sure it is in sync with data from an email service provider using their API.

    There's got to be a better way than my current method:

    1. pull list of all email subscribers from local database
    2. pull list of email subscribers from external API
    3. loop through entire local list and use API call to see if each individual email address exists on the service - if not, remove them from the local list
    4. loop through entire API list and see if email address exists on local list - if not add them to the local list

    Is there an easier way to do this?

    Contemporary term for setting of forecasting constants

    Posted: 12 Mar 2019 12:21 PM PDT

    Two time-series forecast principles are used: a seasonal moving average and a seasonal single exponential smoothing forecast.

    To attain quality results, the associated constants (the season size, the number of values included in a moving average forecast and the smoothing constant) are optimized in a grid search. What would be the correct terminology to describe this process? "Hyperparameter optimization"?

I remember there were many more available on the set, and you could just choose a bunch and download them from the website. Any help would be appreciated.

    Help using Gitgud

    Posted: 12 Mar 2019 10:16 AM PDT

    Hello. I want to make a copy of someones project on gitgud that I can edit in visual studio 2017. I also want to be able to make a branch which I can update with the latest dev version of the original project so I can easily compare my version with the original dev version. So if there are any commits that I don't want in my project I can just ignore them. How would I go about doing this?

    I know how to make a new project in my account using the other project as a base but I don't know how to connect it to visual studio or ho with to just merge maybe one branch of the project so that I can easily compare my version with the updated devs version. I can compare two branches to selectively add commits right? Am I making sense?

    Any advice or help at all would be greatly appreciated

    Edit: I've make a ssh key if that helps, I didn't use a password though and I'm not sure what the ramifications of that'll be

    Edit2: I've also got the gitlab, and easy git integration extensions on visual studio but my gitgud account is different from the gitlab account
