I made an in-depth guide for going from self-taught to being hired as a developer Posted: 21 Nov 2019 02:31 PM PST At one point I was a self-taught programmer, and now I've gone through the ringer. I really wanted to put together a video where I explain as much as possible about how to get from step 0 all the way up to getting hired as a programmer. The following are some of the questions that I answer and points that are made:
I go in-depth on these points in the video I want to re-iterate that this isn't the only path. This is just the path I took, and the path that I know many others have taken to get there. I realize I might have missed something. If so, please feel free to start a discussion on it. [link] [comments] |
Has anyone here automated their entire job? Posted: 21 Nov 2019 05:06 PM PST I've read horror stories of people writing a single script that caused a department of 20 people to be let go. In a more positive context, I'm on my way to automating my entire job, which seems to be the push my boss needed to allow me to transition from my current role to a junior developer (I've only been here for 2 months, and now that I've learned the business, he's letting me do this to prove my knowledge), since my job, that can take 3 days at a time, will be done in 30 minutes or so each day. I'm super excited, and I just want to keep the excitement going by asking if anyone here has automated their entire job? What tasks did you automate? How long did it take you? [link] [comments] |
I want to create my own cloud storage server. How do I do that? Posted: 21 Nov 2019 02:44 PM PST Pretty much what the title says. I'd like to create my own home server where I can store my files. I want to be able to send and retrieve files from anywhere, probably via command line on my laptop, and maybe later a mobile app. I know a little bit about some of the technologies that I could use, but I was hoping someone here could elaborate on them, or at least point me toward some educational resources. I suspect (but don't know for sure) that this will require me to learn/use:
I have a rough understanding of what most of those technologies do, but I've never actually used them, or at least not extensively. I'm going to write this in either Rust or Go, as those are the languages I am most familiar with, so I'll be looking into some of the networking libraries offered by those languages. Right now, my biggest concern is understanding the details of how to implement something like this. EDIT: Just to be clear, I am not looking to use any pre-made cloud storage service/product. I'm sure they're all great, but I am doing this for educational purposes, so I want to learn how to make my own from scratch. [link] [comments] |
The "break" and "continue" instructions Posted: 21 Nov 2019 01:24 PM PST My teacher says these instructions should be forbidden in loops, but a lot of times they can make the code more efficient, or at least more readable Don't misunderstand me, I know that break is often used improperly and abused, but my teacher firmly thinks that these shouldn't be used in ANY way, in his/her opinion it's better to write nested and redundant loops instead of using one of these instructions. What do you think about it? Am I wrong? [link] [comments] |

Help! We are making a GPS app for Senior Project Posted: 21 Nov 2019 01:02 PM PST Hi guys, we're making a GPS application for Senior Project. The idea is to make it so we can allow students on our campus to navigate via walkways and other paths to their desired classroom. Once they reach the building we want to navigate them through the building via some sort of indoor device tracking and navigation. We've been stuck trying to figure out the best way to go about it. At first we tried to use the Mapbox SDK to build it, but the problem is our professor would like us to use our own algorithms and functions to do navigation. We also would like to use a custom map as opposed to using the Google Map since there are technically no routes within the school itself, only the roads around the school. We ended up starting again from scratch and are trying to use a grid, an image of a custom map of school, and then we want to somehow connect to a device and track its location and navigate the user to a room inside of a building. Any tips or advice? Thanks for any help! Please keep in mind our group consists of okay programmers who have mostly coded in C++ and have never really touched any other languages. If you can dumb it down that would be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments] |
[SQL] Getting zero value results from query using PERCENT_RANK() Posted: 21 Nov 2019 10:14 PM PST I'm trying to learn the PERCENT_RANK() function in SQL. I created a small table called "transactions" and inserted a few records into it in order to apply a PERCENT_RANK() query on it and observe the results. However, I'm getting all zeros in the query result, and I don't understand why. This is my query: In the PERCENT_RANK_QUERY, all the values show up as 0. I would love some help in understanding what's missing from the query. [link] [comments] |
The Reason Why People Cant Get A Programming Job. Posted: 21 Nov 2019 05:10 PM PST A lot of people will ask questions like, when am I good enough to be hired? Or when am I considered a good programmer? I've heard from a lot of comp-sci majors saying, ohh college is BS because I cant get a job right after college. The reason why I find all of these questions so odd, and why the statement "I cant get a job" so funny is simple really. Why would a company hire you for your education? If i'm hiring people I don't care if you graduated top of your class from an ivy league school. Sure i'll look at you and your resume, but if it doesn't include this extremely simple thing, then I wont hire you. That simple thing happens to be proof that you can do the work that I want done within a reasonable amount of time. College education as a whole is BS, however what people who say stuff like that don't tell you is it's the experience that matters. The experience of seeing a bunch of people doing productive things, and then comparing yourself to those people and working harder to place yourself higher. Companies don't care about your A, they care about how you got there and transcripts wont show that. The only thing transcripts are good for is showing commitment to something and with a 3.0 and a degree or even a high school diploma, you've basically shown that you can do that reasonably well. Do you want to know what will show how you got to that transcript or how you got that degree, or even why a company should hire you? Make a few projects that show that you can do something related to what a company is doing, or wants to do in the near future. This doesn't just apply to programming but every job possible. Pretty much every company out there is actively publishing news about what it is they are doing or want to do, you don't even need to do detective work. If you want to work at tesla, show that you can make a little toy car that can drive itself. If you want to work at a stock trading company, show that you can trade with a portfolio of current stats and how you got there. If you want to become a lifeguard get the certification that shows that you can save lives. Master this, and any job that involves the making or doing of something to make money, (Not so much jobs about regulating policy, these are mostly gotten through relationships to others) is yours within the week or however long the interview process is.

Adding Days Code (Finding Future Date) Posted: 21 Nov 2019 03:25 PM PST I have this code where someone inputs a date and a number to get the future date. For example, as today is November 21, 2019, the 68 days from today will be January 28, 2020. I am having trouble getting my code to go past the December. After December 30, 2019, my code will not work anymore. I am getting an array out of bounds error. How can I fix this problem? Also, I have to take into account leap years. I'm not really sure how to go about this. Can anyone offer me some suggestions? Thank you for your help. This is my code: [link] [comments] |
Analyzing text and word frequency in python Posted: 21 Nov 2019 03:17 PM PST I'm trying to write this 7-step code for a class and my classmates and I are really struggling. I've tried to chip away at it a tiny bit, but I feel lost. My TA's and teachers refuse to help any of us as well. If anyone could give some insight, I'd appreciate it. Please help, I just need to pass this class; everyone is failing and I've already had to switch to pass/fail. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
Python Text Analysis Word Count Broken Posted: 21 Nov 2019 06:03 PM PST Hello, this program is supposed to take a text file of the bible and return the top 10 words.

Any advice or help appreciated - I am at a lose as to how it is broken yet still somewhat doing the job. Novice here - thank you! [link] [comments] |
How to prepare for software engineer interviews? Posted: 21 Nov 2019 11:58 PM PST Hello, I'm quite new to programming, but I really want to make a living out of it. I've read that the interviews at big tech companies are quite tough. I've seen some examples on YouTube, etc. but how do you really prepare for those interviews? Is there any platform or academy that helps you preparing for the interviews? Thanks! [link] [comments] |

Configuring Eclipse Build Command Posted: 21 Nov 2019 07:50 PM PST I'm trying to use a customized build command in Eclipse to compile my code. In my building configuration I have the build command set to the path of my custom compiler. The issue I'm having is the compiler looks for a main.cpp file in the build directory if another file is not specified. I'd like to be able to specify the file it should look at whenever I click build. If I were to build from command line within the build directory, my command would look like this /Path/To/Build -configFile XXX I want Eclipse to prompt me for what I want XXX to be so I can say main.cpp, main1.cpp, main2.cpp, etc. These aren't the actual file names just simple examples. Is there a way to do this? [link] [comments] |
Just graduated High school and just started college, what's next? Posted: 21 Nov 2019 02:43 PM PST so I've graduated high school and right now I'm in community college getting my basics out of the way. I took comp sci classes all throughout high school and I know the basics of python, JavaScript, and HTML and CSS. this mostly what I learned in high school. however I want to learn more and gain some experience for myself so I can start out with a decent job later down the road. my high school comp sci teacher said I could start an online portfolio but he didn't exactly expand on it, so I am not entirely sure what that is or what it entails. I haven't gotten accepted into any internships. and I'd just like to know what all I can do to learn more. and what online resources would be helpful for me. [link] [comments] |
Trying to find a good course for C++ Posted: 21 Nov 2019 11:19 PM PST Hello there. I'm an undergraduate student in computer science and math and now I'm taking a C++ course at my university but I think that I don't take much from it. So I'm wondering if there are some good courses for C++ which cover all the stuff in this language. I've learned not too much about C++. The last thing that I did at university was inheritance. I'm less interested in books because for me it's very slow and boring. Also, you can advise any commercial courses I don't mind at all. Thank you for your attention. I will be pleased if you help me [link] [comments] |
Posted: 21 Nov 2019 11:16 PM PST Project can be found here: https://github.com/samuelyapwoonpin/linkedin-connect Watch the bot in action: https://youtu.be/pnNrkWbGHjE Hey there guys, I am a 19 year old student currently studying Computer Engineering, and due to emotional issues during my 1st year, I suffered bad grades that has crippled my GPA (currently 2.24), in my 3rd year and graduating in 4 months. It is not simple for me to apply to internships / part-time jobs online, as many postings require you to state your grades, and as I stated previously my grades are not close at all to impressive. Fortunately, I picked up programming as a hobby about a year ago, and I have been in love ever since. Therefore I have now something to show: projects. My plan of attack is to directly reach out to recruiters of companies I want to apply to instead of solely relying on online applications. For recruiters not to simply ignore me, I have to build up a "network" to make it more attractive to recruiters. For example, a recruiter might be inclined to at least give my LinkedIn account a browse through or reply to my message if they see a 500+ connections label, instead of possibly just leaving my message on read if I had 6 connections. I have a built a bot to help me in this venture, and would like to share it with you all. I have built it as bare bones I can (easy to customize, 26 lines of code), made it simple to use (extensive documentation), and built it to not depend on hack-y methods such as guessing the location of certain buttons( for example this version uses guessing of button locations https://medium.com/@rohanchavan/automating-linkedin-connections-with-python-c28ddf91cf42 ). This script will 100% work every time as you provide an existing email and password (and follow certain instructions that have been stated explicitly.) This has been my first time using Selenium, and damn is it really fun to use. Do gain inspiration from this project and built better versions of this bot, or even if you want to submit a pull-request I greatly encourage you to do so. Feedback is greatly appreciated as well.

Posted: 21 Nov 2019 03:31 PM PST I'm stuck on this code challenge. I'm getting 16 of the 19 tests right but it's failing on some. I'll provide my code and an example where it fails. Given a sequence of integers as an array, determine whether it is possible to obtain a strictly increasing sequence by removing no more than one element from the array. It's failing on such a test [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 3, 5, 6]. I'm thinking of having to delete that element and iterate over a new array with that element removed. Any tips would be appreciate.

What should I study in Python? Posted: 21 Nov 2019 10:03 PM PST Hello everybody. I worked as a CCNA (Networking) instructor for the past 8 years and I decided that it's time to grow, so I started to learn Python 2 months ago. I can write already some basic scripts, automate easy things. I even wrote a simple app with Python kivy and deployed it as APK file for android (pictures attached). My question is - What exactly do I need to study next? What libraries in python, what books should I read next, what to focus on in order to increase my chances to find a job in the States? I'm just lost cause I see too much stuff on the internet and it's impossible to learn everything. I would like to find some job that will combine my skills and will help me to grow professionally - For example, QA automation or something that will combine networking + python. Any advice will be helpful! :) Thanks! [link] [comments] |
Bootstrap Courses for Responsive Websites Posted: 21 Nov 2019 11:28 AM PST I'm looking to learn bootstrap for my job. I currently work with it but it's taking me way too long to google everything so I'm looking for a course that sort of shows all the ropes of bootstrap, basically to help me be aware of how bootstrap positions everything on a page. Looking for a relatively modern course with examples. Are there any recommendations? Bonus if it also teaches advanced CSS. It's okay if it's not free. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 21 Nov 2019 09:58 PM PST I've got this sub train code for streamelements that another coder has released to the public, however it doesn't have the option to randomise the look of the train for multiple pictures. I like the widget but I wanted to change it so it grabs a random image from a set of images, while also having a 1% chance to get a image from a 'rare' set of images. for example it picks a random pokemon from the set of pokemon images(I have every pokemon, normal and shiny.) while having a chance to get it in a shiny. I spoke to the guy who made it and he told me I could put the images on a hosting site and do this. But I have no knowledge of coding so im stuck. I've got the images ready and named by their number in the pokedex with a s on the shiny versions, I just have no idea how to add the code/code. I can kinda read/understand what the code is kinda doing. But yeah, ive got no real idea of whats possible or what code to actually add. If anyone can help me get this done I would honestly appreciate it, spent the past two days trying to figure/learn on my own but google search can only get you so far, and I cant understand the code enough to know what to use. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks [link] [comments] |
Why would video editing software need an SQL database? Posted: 21 Nov 2019 09:55 PM PST I downloaded DaVinci and that's supposed to be a good video editing software but I noticed something while I was installing it. It asks whether I would like to install Postgre SQL, which I know from my days in rails is a rather good SQL database but I have no idea why it would be used in video editing. [link] [comments] |
