Posted: 17 Feb 2020 09:55 AM PST Hello! I started my "career" as a lowly studio engineer in New York City (my claim to fame is that I worked with LCD Soundsystem). I quickly burned out and discovered I actually hated working insane hours for virtually no pay in a recording studio. I discovered my love of teaching coding while studying computer science at NYU and I've been doing it ever since. Here's a bit about me: I started out teaching in-person web development bootcamps at General Assembly in San Francisco back in 2014. I eventually left to join Galvanize and help open up their San Francisco campus. I taught a couple hundred students over 2 years at Galvanize, and eventually became their Curriculum Director across all campuses. 94% of my in-person students went on to get full-time engineering jobs, and they work all over the world at companies ranging from tiny 2 person teams to tech behemoths (Google, Apple, etc) Teaching bootcamps (and attending them!) is crazy exhausting, so after a couple years I was ready for a change. At the same time, I recognized there was a clear lack of quality learning resources available online and so in 2016 I joined Udacity and started creating content for their nanodegree programs. Shortly thereafter I decided to release my first Udemy course, the Web Developer Bootcamp, in hopes of generating a little bit of income on the side. I was completely caught off guard by the response to my course, and after a couple months of waffling back and forth, I decided to quit my job and focus on teaching online full-time.Fast forward to today, and I've released 9 courses on Udemy with over 700,000 students choosing to enroll in them. Last year I started up a YouTube channel where I release free instructional videos on wide-ranging topics. Most recently, I've partnered with Springboard to launch the Software Engineering Career Track, a job-guaranteed online bootcamp with benefits like 1:1 mentorship from a software engineering expert, capstone projects, live code reviews, on-demand TA support, and personal career coaching. I'd love to answer any questions you have about becoming a web developer, bootcamps/courses, or anything else -- AMA :) [link] [comments] |
Why do most people recommend learning Python when it has the least amount of jobs Posted: 17 Feb 2020 04:29 AM PST Everytime i see a video/blog about what language to learn, Python is often nr 1. But when i look at job postings, Java, C# and PHP have 3x the amount of jobs available compared to Python. Edit: a lot of great and useful responses [link] [comments] |
8051 Microcontroller ASSEMBLY language coding for Elevator Posted: 17 Feb 2020 11:25 PM PST ``` MAIN: FLOOR1: FLOOR2: FLOOR2DOWN: FLOOR3: END ``` I am working on a very simple model elevator using 8051 microcontroller(above is my assembly coding for it ).It will have : Ground Floor First Floor and, Second floor. I have trouble in configuring the coding with sensors(I will use IR sensors later) now i am using pushbutton to replace the sensor. The thing is, when I press button on my keypad which is a "pushbutton" the motor ONLY keeps running as long as i keep holding and pressing the switch. And i need the motor to be running until it reachs a certain floor and sensor detect it reached that floor and stops The elevator motor should work like, it will check all the sensors and if there is elevator car in that respective floor it will move the elevator car/cage to that position and motor will stop. Really grateful for your kind help. Thank you in advance! [link] [comments] |

Java Method Pass By Value Question Posted: 17 Feb 2020 08:06 PM PST I wrote this program to find the ith smallest element in a list using the randomized selection algorithm. For some reason, I have to clone the list if I wish to call the function multiple times because it seems the code in findIthSmallest() affects the list in the main. My question is why does it alter the variable ll in the main method when methods make copies of variables? package algo; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.LinkedList; public class RandomizedSelection { larger = new LinkedList<Integer>(); int temp = (int)l.poll(); if ( temp <= pivot ) { smaller.offer(temp); } else { larger.offer(temp); } } [link] [comments] |
This is a practice question for my upcoming OS midterm. Could I get some help? Posted: 17 Feb 2020 08:34 PM PST Suppose two threads A and B coordinate using a spinlock implemented based on atomic exchange like we dicussed in lecture. Assume, unlike xv6's spinlocks, these threads do not disable interrupts when acquiring the spinlock. Both threads are running on a single-core system that uses a round-robin scheduler with a 20 millisecond time quantum. Thread A acquires the spinlock, then needs to do about 50 milliseconds of computation, then will release the spinlock and terminate. About 1 millisecond after thread A acquires the spinlock, thread B tries and waits to acquire the spinlock. Assuming thread A and B are the only runnable threads on the system (and never need to wait for I/O), how long will it be between when thread A acquires the spinlock and when it releases it? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ If A has the spinlock for the whole time, then wouldn't it run for its full 50 ms before handing off to process B? How does disabling interrupts make a difference? The possible choices are 50 milliseconds, 70, 90, 100, 110, 130, 150, A will never release. Thanks! Edit: It should be 90, right? Process B just spins for 20ms after the context switch. [link] [comments] |
What can someone be with physics + coding? Posted: 17 Feb 2020 05:52 PM PST My head has been in a swirl for the past few months, as I recently received my degree in (engineering) physics and don't really know what to work with. I got interested in programming a couple of years ago and have had a pretty decent experience with it, exploring a few areas of Computer Science that seemed interesting to me, such as ML, CG, and software development in general. I really enjoyed messing around with all that, and I'm convinced that my career will heavily rely on programming in some way. The thing is that diving into the tech industry kind of makes all my background in physics seem irrelevant, and having to learn a bunch of new stuff in a hurry just to make myself competitive in the job market feels like the wrong way at this moment. So basically what I'm asking is, what kind of work am I able to do with physics + programming in the industry? I don't really see myself being a pure researcher, I'm talking about something more like R&D in a tech company. Once I was told that someone who's good at physics and programming can pretty much become a god, but idk man, this just feels like a super daunting moment of life... [link] [comments] |
Posted: 17 Feb 2020 06:48 AM PST I finally start my job as a full time jr dev next week. I joined my current team with very little programming experience, but worked as a BA/tester for 3 years. I asked my supervisor if she minded if I gained access to our code base so I could help solve the bugs I found. She fully supported me. Last year I developed on a different application as well as our own, adding small features here and there as the other developers were too busy to implement everything thrown at them. I am as nervous about work as I've been in my whole career. I feel like I've been pushed off a diving board, and given a book about swimming to read before I hit the water. But, jumping in with both feet have served me well so far. I'll either swim with the big fish, or go back to being a BA. [link] [comments] |
Is there any resource like FreeCodeCamp to learn back-end? Posted: 17 Feb 2020 11:46 AM PST Hi everyone, I'm at the beginning on this journey, i started learning HTML and CSS, but i feel like i don't really want to do web design. I bought the Italian edition of the Deitel & Deitel (C Language) since i was told that would be the best start for me. The book is awesome, but i find it less enjoyable than a learning method like FreeCodeCamp (step-by-step exercises, projects, etc.) So here's the question: Is there any rrsource like FreeCodeCamp that teaches back-end languages (C, C++, Python or Java). Any suggestion is welcome! Thank you. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 17 Feb 2020 11:59 PM PST I know how whereas So if the function is a method (to an object), it refers to the object. But how come it's not the case inside classes? Aren't classes objects in JS? So wouldn't that mean Instead it binds to the Window object, and I have to resort to arrow functions to "fall back" and adopt the this from it's container (which points to Counter). I also know I can re-bind it in the constructor. But my question still stands..why isn't handleIncrement considered to be a method? If it is, why doesn't its [link] [comments] |

How can I find the system level of the operating system in CLLE? Posted: 17 Feb 2020 11:26 PM PST Working on a CLLE program at the moment and I'm supposed to find the system level of the operating system. what does that mean? I would assume I'm supposed to retrieve a value using SYSVAL() RTNVAR() but looking at the IBM page nothing mentions the system level of the operating system. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_73/cl/rtvsysval.htm what should I be retrieving?

Help Needed with Python Homework Posted: 17 Feb 2020 11:14 PM PST I am trying to make the console continuously ask for a number (the temperature) and either spit out "fan on" or "fan off" after the user enters a number. So far, it works for me the first time and after it says "fan on/off" and then asks me for a second time "What is the temperature? ", when I enter the second number nothing comes out. Figure I need to make this a loop. Here is my code so far temp = int(input("What is the Temperture? ")) sp = 100 output = (temp - sp + 0.75)*0.01 if (output - sp > 1): print ("Fan On") else: print ("Fan Off") temp = int(input("What is the Tempreture? ")) [link] [comments] |
Posted: 17 Feb 2020 11:13 PM PST I have a Project Idea i plan on doing just for fun I created a profile on Facebook long back which i want to get rid of as it has been bugging me for months. The only problem here is that i am unable to find it on Facebook search results. So i want to create an app / program through which I can successfully locate it and destroy it once and for all. The problem here is I don't know how to go forth with the project the only thing I know is that i have to make use of metadata that is there on Facebook. What kind of language or framework is I am required to know I don't have a clue. Please help me and i will make sure I up-vote every post/comment that get posted by users who reply.

Is this a good way to vulgarize "for (i = 1; i <= x; i++)"? Posted: 17 Feb 2020 10:31 PM PST What would be the best way to vulgarize, word for word, that type of instruction? for = "when this condition is met" i = 1 "we start at 1" i <= "and never go beyond x" i = we count When the following condition is met, we will start counting from 1 but we will limit that counting to the the value of x, as to never go beyond it. We are giving the instruction a numerical path to follow in order, and we can later add instructions at each checkpoint (numbers), e.g.: when you've reached the number 1, you say "hey", when you reach number 2, you say "yo", when you reach...

Posted: 17 Feb 2020 10:07 PM PST I'm new to programming and was thinking that this may be a task that I could tackle but wanted to reach out and get a nice foundation going before I start diving into it full on. I work for a lab that keeps track of monthly quality control statistics that are printed out from Meditech and manually typed into an excel sheet. I would like to write a program that does this automatically for us but the only thing I'm not 100% sure on is whether or not the program would be able to execute due to Meditech needing a valid login due to patient information. My thoughts are that if I'm logged in, then execute the program, it should be fine, but again I'm not quite there from a knowledge stand point. TIA! [link] [comments] |

How to tell if you actually are passionate about coding Posted: 17 Feb 2020 06:07 PM PST Hi guys, I've asked some questions in the past and I lurked around this subreddit for 6 months now, I'm a programming college student and will be getting my Associates in the Fall then will do 2 more years for a bachelor. I was just wondering how I could tell if I have a passion for coding. I really enjoy learning new things but I hear alot of people on youtube say that unless you're passionate you will be miserable. I also hear alot of corporate horror stories about how tech is cut throat and that they will get rid of you for any or no reason if you're unwilling to work 60+ hours a week as the bare minimum. I have trouble learning some things, but currently I find myself wanting to go more into the full stack web developer route (I've been doing alot of tutorials on html, css, javascript, and php/mysql), but I also want to learn more and more about indie game development because I also like writing and would like to combine the two passions and make horror rpg games. I wanted to get some advice from other users here on how to tell if you truly have the passion to succeed in the industry. Are there some questions you can ask yourself? [link] [comments] |
Majored in Game Design, should have majored in Comp Sci Senior Advice. Posted: 17 Feb 2020 12:54 PM PST As the title states, I studied game design and minored in web development. I feel I wasted my time because while the game design program here is considered very good (ranked top 5), I probably could have gotten better long term opportunities if I had just majored in computer science. I can program but my skills are somewhat limited and I feel like i have potentially missed a fantastic opportunity to study computer science in college. I have a hard time learning without structure so I'm intimidated by self learning ( though I will try my best to teach myself). I have obtained syllabi for all the comp sci courses I wanted to take at my school and will attempt to work through the assignments myself. Maybe it would be more worthwhile to take an extra semester or try and pursue a masters? Would a bootcamp help me obtain the skills that I need(Data Structures/algorithms are my priority right now). I really want to try and become a competent web or software developer and I dont want to set myself up for failure. Any advice would be appreciated. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 17 Feb 2020 09:22 PM PST Ok so I did the coin flip program. I can't figure out the cho han. I think it is mostly defining an even and odd number. I'm just trying to bet on even or odd but it will only come out with odd or the else statement of I fucked up cuz it is none of the above. Trying to do the random.randint(1, 12) or add the 2 dice together random.randint(1, 6) I'm not sure how to explain. Maybe you could give me a full correct example ? Thanks ```import random money = 300 dice_roll = random.randint(1, 12) even = dice_roll % 2 == 0 odd = dice_roll % 2 != 0 def cho_han(guess, bet): if dice_roll == even and guess == even: print("Even, you win") print("$" + str(money + bet)) elif dice_roll == odd and guess == odd: print("Odd, you won") print("$" + str(money + bet)) elif dice_roll == even and guess != even: print("Even, you lost") print("$" + str(money - bet)) elif dice_roll == odd and guess != odd: print("Odd, you lost") print("$" + str(money - bet)) else: print("YOU FUCKED UP") cho_han(even, 200)``` [link] [comments] |
Why does Noone Finish the odin project? Posted: 17 Feb 2020 09:15 PM PST After Searching the Interwebs Far and Wide I have come to the conclusion that less than 10 people EVER have completed The Odin Project This fact doesn't seem that significant until you realize the following.... Over 100,000 people sign up for the Odin project every week. The Odin Project has been around for 7 years. So here is some napkin math. 100,000 * 52 * 7 (36,000,000) people have attempted The Odin project and 35,999,990 never got to the end. so 1 out of every 3 million people finished it. or 0.00003% Can We Please Talk About Why this is because I have no fucking clue.

Tell me if I got this logic right... Posted: 17 Feb 2020 09:13 PM PST I am trying to append a second linked character list to the end of a first character list. I cannot use doubly linked lists or tail pointers... In the while loop I am advancing current and previous node pointer by one. Eventually it will hit the end of the linked list containing null, when it does I am creating a new node and putting what's in the first node of the linked list that I passed in by reference into this new node that I just appended to the end of the first linked character list right?
