    What's the difference between someone with 3 years of programming experience and 5+?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2019 12:27 PM PDT

    This is a little rantish and a little blowing off steam but I'm peeved off so I'mma type it out. As a developer I am amazed at how guarded jobs are when it comes to experience. Recruiters and HR reps are seldom willing to bend on things like "needs 5 years experience". I would ask any good dev out there to actually program something to tell the difference. Approach it as a legit constraint. Without explicitly saying if(applicant.experience < 5) what would you tell your program to look for? What are some legit concrete things experienced devs have after 5, 8, or 10 years that less experienced devs couldn't possibly have? Are they even related to programming at that point or are you lumping in managerial stuff as well?

    My point being that after a dev has gone through 2-3 professional projects (start to finish), doesn't their ability come down more on how knowledgeable they are than how many years they've been at work?

    Rant over...Commence telling me how wrong I am

    Why should programmers use Linux?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2019 04:50 PM PDT

    I'm tired of windows and I hate it I'm planning to change to mac os or Linux, but friend said "a programmer should use Linux" I watched a videos on YT but still not convinced why should I chose Linux?

    What programming language should a student learn learn to be a programmer in the future?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2019 08:50 PM PDT

    I need help for this question:

    "You are to create a Case Study (800-1500 words) to show what type of computer language a student should be learning for becoming a computer programmer in the future. What makes a language have longevity"

    Thanks in advance!

    What is a binary tree in programming?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2019 07:02 PM PDT

    Is it just an array? I'm reading wiki and I'm so confused. Where in programming are these "trees" used?

    HTTP server from scratch

    Posted: 12 Jul 2019 07:19 AM PDT

    I am trying to write an HTTP server in C++ for learning purposes. The server so far parses the request message. Then it is supposed to send back a response (that is the file requested). But what should I do with the form data sent with the request? I know that languages like PHP get these form data and send a response accordingly. So should I submit(?) them to the script file? If so should I support a particular language (let's say PHP) or should it be modular? How do real servers work?

    Sorry if this question is messy but I am a little confused.

    Looking for a JS bundler + a CSS bundler.

    Posted: 12 Jul 2019 03:59 PM PDT

    Hey there. Is there a solution that will render my HTML & figure out which files are being used out of the multiple CSS + JS files included... and then package them all into a single CSS + a single JS file? I don't need all the code these packages have graciously included and I don't want to parse them by hand/eye because fml. I have not used webpack before but I understand this might be the solution i'm looking for?

    EDIT better yet, is there something that will just inject it all inline into the html? Would that improve loading speed?

    Should I even bother learning Java, isn't it going to die in 2 years?

    How to efficiently read Documentation to solve issues?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2019 10:55 AM PDT

    Suppose I am having a small problem.

    I will illustrate my exact problem with the help of this for example

    I want to make a python script that takes filename from me and creates a filename.cpp with some pre existing code.

    And I want to pass the filename as a command line argument.

    Method 1

    Now I am not well versed with Python. So I google 'How to pass command line arguments to a python script'

    There appear enough links from random tutorial websites which answer this question

    Method 2

    But some people have advised me to make it an habit to read stuff from official documentation as it is a good practice

    So I google for 'Python documentation how to pass command line arguments to a python script '

    Now when I go on the official documentation page I find a huge comprehensive documentaion page which I have trouble comprehending to solve my exact problem which was a minor one.

    Most of the content on that documentation stuff are things that I don't really need for my tiny problem. I had faced this same problem when I tried to learn Git from their documentation.

    It seems that the it is more important to know what to ignore rather than starting to read the entire page

    Can someone please give me tips so that I improve on solving such tiny issues by reading from official Documentaiton?

    In initial days my stackoverflow karma went 0 because I asked questions which got comments as 'It is right there in documentation.

    Is there a For Dummies guide of How to read official documentaion

    Is it a good idea to use OOP( class/classes) just to encapsulate the functions?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2019 01:30 AM PDT

    I am using python. I have so many functions. I thought I should make two or three classes to manage the functions. Is it a good idea? How do you manage when you have so many functions? How do you write code that it won't become a mess to explain, to read and also to trace the execution.

    I will need only one object of a class for my purpose.

    Can you program a bot to pep talk you?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2019 02:21 AM PDT

    Hello, I am just getting into programming but I am curious if there is currently a way to make a bot to chat with. Let's say I want to make a bot to compliment me on doing a workout or occasionally remind me of something. I'm starting on C++. I'm not quite sure what language would fit for this or where to start.

    I was thinking I need a pep bot to help me slog through daily tasks. Nice voice that occasionally talks to me with preset convo and keeps me on the straight and narrow.

    What's the point of having different programming languages?

    Posted: 11 Jul 2019 10:16 PM PDT

    I know this is a dumb question, but why do we have different languages and thus different uses for each language. Is it because of efficiency or run-time optimization of the program? Why can't java, for example, be used for everything instead of PHP or Python?

    Swapping values of two variables using XOR operator

    Posted: 12 Jul 2019 02:02 AM PDT

    I came across this question where they asked to "Swap two variables without using a third variable"

    There were two solutions

    First method and its explanation

    a = a + b; b = a - b; a = a - b; // a_new = a_old + b_old // b_old = (a_old + b_old) - b_old // b_old = a_new - b_old // a_old = a_old + b_old - b_old // a_old = a_new - b_old 

    There is one more method in which XOR operation is used

     x = x ^ y; y = x ^ y; x = x ^ y; 

    I am not able to understand why and how does this second method work?

    When I searched for proof of the second method mentioned, I got one proof which justified that method using Associativity, Commutivity properties of XOR operator

    Is there any other intuitive proof?

    Looking for an Encryption library in JavaScript to encrypt strings

    Posted: 12 Jul 2019 01:28 AM PDT

    Looking for information on what the industry standard is and what are the relevant/ up to date libraries being used to encrypt strings/passwords. The encryption method needs to be viable with node, react and flutter. Thanks in advance.

    What do we call the "stuff" a language provides us? Is my understanding of API incorrect?

    Posted: 11 Jul 2019 11:47 PM PDT

    I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question. You know how a language (C#) gives us "in-built" methods [like .Split(), .ToString(), .Replace() etc etc) and then stuff like [openfiledialog , . Anything].

    Basically stuff that is famous, that already has a purpose, and is usually instanted like a class[with a new] or invoked like a method [with a .].

    After googling I thought the name for these terms is API but I think thats wrong I'm having trouble understanding it can someone explain in simpler terms?
