    What CS field is thriving the most right now?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 03:08 PM PDT

    In your opinion, what field in CS in thriving the most at this point in 2020? This could mean where the most money is at, or a field that has the most hype around it, whatever 'thriving' means to you. Personally I think that anything to do with Artificial Intelligence is really taking off right now.

    Looking forward to hear your thoughts, though. Thanks!

    Does anyone actually program to unwind?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 05:05 PM PDT

    I read things quite often about people programming to sit back and unwind after work, whatever it may be. Well I've been finding myself swamped with work during the quarantine(not programming related) and after I finally finish, the last thing I want to do is program. I usually program when I want to stimulate myself, because i find it interesting and gratifying to solve a problem, and to see my work come to life. But after an entire day of work, I just want to sit around and do something mindless. Is that just me? Or do other people have the same sort of feeling towards it?

    So I’m in computer science but having a really hard time with programming.

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 11:28 PM PDT

    I just dropped a Java class. At first it was very easy but then we had to start writing private code and intertwine it with public. For some reason I have a hard time thinking logically. As soon as we got our assignments I was instantly stuck. Had no idea where to start and it would get so frustrating. I would end up looking it up but that doesn't help me at all. I want to get into security but computer science degree is the only degree my school offers that will get me there. Do you guys have any suggestions before I go back in that class next semester? Thanks

    Historical examples of elegant code

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 03:43 PM PDT

    What examples of elegant code can you think of? I've heard somewhere that Bill Gates had to fit some large program on limited disk space back in the 70s or 80s and produced a very concise solution. I'm looking for details on this particular piece and similar examples from history.

    Is the C# garbage collector better than Java?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 10:37 AM PDT

    It's no secret that people love to hate Java and its Garbage Collector (GC). Especially when the topic of game development comes up. And whenever I ask about what makes C# less problematic than Java, I'm told about Unity and the fact that it doesn't use the GC.

    IIRC, most XBOX and XBOX 360 games were built with C# and not using an engine that just uses it as a scripting language.

    Minecraft is also strongly criticized for being built with Java, and I've heard a lot of people claim that Java's GC is the source of a lot of its problems.

    Is the C# GC better than the Java GC? If so, what did Microsoft do to solve issues common in Java? Or is this a case where people just love to hate Java when it isn't even that bad?

    Say I were to start learning Linux or Python on my own right now. About how long would it take for me to become competent enough to stand on my own and put that I'm fluent on a resume?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 06:32 PM PDT

    I ask because I know a lot of people have probably been programming or scripting since they were teens. But as an adult, the learning curve is probably going to be a little bit different. I just don't want to have a whole 'nother year pass while I'm struggling my way through a Python or Linux course to get myself more prepared to move up in my IT career.

    String and Array length in C

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 10:50 AM PDT

    Hello everyone say I created a string with the following code

    char word[10] = "String"

    would the length be 5, 6 due to null termination or 10 since thats how much memory is allocated?

    Like wise with the array

    char array[10] = "String"

    would it take up 10 bytes, 6 bytes, or 5

    Im thinking for the string its length is 6 and the array is 10 bytes is this correct?

    Need help learning 3 languages at once.

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 05:07 PM PDT

    I've finally found the motivation to be productive for once. I'm a 15-year-old who takes GCSE computer science. Currently, I'm only experienced in python. I have no online school, and I pretty much spend the whole day playing games or sleeping. I've decided to try and learn as many languages as I can. My plan is to learn about 3 languages by the end of the "Holidays" (they are most likely until September). I will spend an hour a day on each of the 3 languages I chose, and then spend an hour near the end of the day just recapping my learned knowledge. My current selection is c++, java and HTML. I know this seems like an extremely challenging task, but I'd rather keep sane putting my brain to use than abiding by my current "schedule. I need some sort of source of research. Videos are fine, but spending 40+ minutes listening to a guy drone on and then spending the rest of the 20 minutes trying to piece together what they were saying and execute it is not really my thing. I'd much rather prefer some documentation, and then a few reference videos for each of the languages. I've done a bit of research, but most of the sources I can find are NOT beginner-friendly. I just want some help finding a good method or source to cram all of this programming knowledge into my brain and come out of these holidays as less of a lazy degenerate. Thanks!

    For programmers who have projects outside their normal jobs/school work: I am interested in any habits you may have for working on your project. If you have a couple minutes to spare, please take my quick survey.

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 05:05 PM PDT

    For anyone who currently works as a developer, would you recommend people go into your specific field? Why or why not?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 02:05 PM PDT

    Hello r/askprogramming,

    I've been interning at a small web development company near me for the past 6 months or so and I think I realized it isn't what I want to do long term. Especially at my company it feels like I have to wear pretty much every hat from front end to back end to dev ops etc... It's not a bad work environment as everyone is pretty laid back, but I don't feel like I'm focused on what I want to do. I was curious what you guys think of where you work?

    Personally I would recommend people go into full stack if they want an entirely novel challenge every day, but it definitely can be frustrating getting pretty good at a set of technologies and pivoting to this brand new framework we want to work with

    Database transition question

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 02:04 PM PDT

    I work for a small governmental entity with less than 1,000 employees. We are currently in the process of replacing an old database from the late 1980's with custom software built by a 3rd party vendor. I have no project management experience, but I have been tasked with the job of ensuring a smooth transition. One potential problem I fear is that when we turn off the old database, it will disrupt other people who may be pulling data from the old database that I don't know about.

    I am thinking of sending out a company wide email asking everyone if they are in any way, shape, or form using data from this database for any reason, to let me know ASAP.

    Does this sound like a good idea? Does anyone know of, or have a template for this type of email that they have used in the past?

    Help is greatly appreciated.

    Have you ever had to translate a program from one programming language to another?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 06:28 AM PDT

    For example, I made a chess program in PHP for programming practice. I optimized it as much as I could. I got the get legal moves function from 1.5s to 2ms. Then I translated the entire program into C# to try to get faster speeds so that I could turn it into a chess AI.

    Have you ever translated a program from one language to another? What program, why'd you do it, was it easy/hard, was translating it the right decision?

    Is it common to translate programs?

    What languages do you find easy to translate? What languages do you find hard to translate? For example I found translating PHP to C# hard because I had to add types to all the variables.

    Remapping Pins Arduino -> Mini Rambo

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 01:49 PM PDT

    Hello! I am trying to run a program that was built for an Arduino (atmega328), on a Mini Rambo 1.3.

    I have no electronic experience. Thus far I understand how to remap the ore obvious pins, that are mapped towards pin numbers. Meanwhile some of the code has mappings I do not understand, such as:

    #define STEP_DDR DDRD #define STEP_PORT PORTD 

    The pins in the Rambo file all contain numerical values for their pins.

    UML Use Case Arrows

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 12:12 PM PDT

    I'm making a game for a side project and am trying to make a use case for it, I found this one online as a good template, what do the different arrowheads mean in this diagram?

    the diagram is here

    the ones with the skinny heads are used with include and exclude but the lines aren't broken in this one.

    the filled-in arrowheads are usually used for generalization but they aren't going from actor to actor and they are aren't empty on the inside.

    It would be greatly appreciated if someone would explain how the arrows work in this Use Case diagram.

    Would it be possible to create a messenger group chat helper bot?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 05:59 AM PDT

    Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to create something like a discord bot, but for Facebook messenger. The bot should be able to listen for keywords and perform simple actions upon detecting one.

    Need help with editing a premade DLL file

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 11:36 AM PDT

    Complete beginner here. I need to update a DLL file but have no knowledge of how to. It is probably such a simple job to those with the know how, only adding a few lines of code but I have no idea on where to start, tried using Visual Studio and dotpeek to no avail. The DLL file is premade and I want to make additions. It is in MSIL & 4.0 .NET Framework, any help at all would be wonderful, thanks.

    PS: I have Discord/Skype/TS, some verbal + visual aid would be even more appreciated if possible, PM me if you can!

    RCON via CURL

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 11:26 AM PDT

    Is this feasible? I feel like it should be, but for the life of me, I can't seem to find ANYTHING about using these 2 things.

    The idea is that I want my web server to send a URL to my game server to trigger things in games that use RCON.

    Is this possible with CURL? How would the format of it look?

    Probably the wrong place to ask but is there a way to make the x on the tabs of a browser show up at all time?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 07:13 AM PDT

    When you have more than a certain amount of tabs open in your browser window (any browser I believe) the x will disappear. Is there a way for it to show up at all time no matter the amount of tabs open? Thanks!
