    What have you been working on recently? [April 18, 2020]

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 09:04 AM PDT

    What have you been working on recently? Feel free to share updates on projects you're working on, brag about any major milestones you've hit, grouse about a challenge you've ran into recently... Any sort of "progress report" is fair game!

    A few requests:

    1. If possible, include a link to your source code when sharing a project update. That way, others can learn from your work!

    2. If you've shared something, try commenting on at least one other update -- ask a question, give feedback, compliment something cool... We encourage discussion!

    3. If you don't consider yourself to be a beginner, include about how many years of experience you have.

    This thread will remained stickied over the weekend. Link to past threads here.

    Would anyone like to join a discord server for learning programming for complete beginners ?

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 04:38 AM PDT

    During my Computer Science degree I noticed a lot of places when you are trying to learn are quite unforgiving and don't like questions when someone completely new is trying to learn. So I created my own discord server named the programming playground for all new programmers to be able to comfortably ask questions and learn together without the stress of someone thinking they are dumb hahaha

    If this isn't allowed I apologise but I think it will be a good resource for people learning !:)

    Anyway if you are interested I can send you an invite just comment :)

    Bored with coding at work. Please give me some fun programming project that can be completed in 1-2 weeks

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 08:35 PM PDT

    I need to break the monotony and want some recommendations on some fun project to do as I take a break from work. I am quite experienced with Python, Java (languages) and OOP paradigm. Haven't worked much on Frontend except for Android Apps but am open to anything which can be done in a reasonable period of time. Yes I know I can google ideas, but the very reason we have discussion subs is to talk and generate new ideas.

    CS Student Here, Looking to Collaborate in an Organized Fashion

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 06:59 PM PDT

    Hello, I'm a CS undergrad student. I'd been studying part time for a couple years up until the first of the year when I decided to get serious, start studying full time and prepare for a career change upon graduation. I've more or less set aside my social life and dedicated myself to someday becoming a software engineer or software developer. My school is 100% online, I've reached the junior level, 300-level classes, and they're getting difficult. I'm not deterred by this, I'm digging in and expect to graduate on time next Spring, but I've reached a point where I really think I'd benefit from not doing this alone.

    I see redditors trying to put together collaboration efforts occasionally, and there's often comments from those with experience stating that without focused organization, these efforts are likely to fail. So I have an idea for organizing such a thing that I believe will work. I'd like to find just a handful of relatively inexperienced students (self-taught or formal schooling, either way is fine with me), and another handful of at least junior developer level professionals who enjoy the process and would like to share, that are all organized around the same tech stack. I'm focusing on what's relative to the classes I'm taking at any given time, but I've decided to focus on C#, the .NET framework and the Angular framework. The reason for this is because there's a company in my area that I intend to apply at, and their job postings indicate that they are looking for developers/analysts/SWengineers who are experienced with C#, .NET, and Angular. I want to develop those skills by next Spring.

    So here's what I propose: I've set up a Discord server, I've been actively using Github to push and pull code from separate repos that I use for each of my classes, and I've found a handy web-based source code copy/paste tool called paste.gg . There may be some other technologies that would be helpful in collaborating, but I think using these three tools it would be a good place to start, and here's the methodology I had in mind...

    Since I'm working on assignments and/or a side project every night, we could start by getting on the discord server, sharing our schedules and what specifically we are working on that night or that week. We don't all need to be working on the same project, as long as we are all learning, but in order for this to work, we will require a handful of more experienced developers/engineers that are willing to share the load of mentoring, helping with debugging, implementation questions, IDE features, compiler errors, etc.

    In the spirit of helping consolidate our efforts, I also will share this: my sister is a relatively new restaurant owner. She has a website that she built on Wix. It really needs to be refactored and cleaned up, I've had a conversation with her about it, she's open to me presenting her with something that she can critique. This is what her website looks like now:

    https://www.watsonsonthewater.com/

    I won't go into great details about what I'd like to do with this, but it's obvious it can be improved. I'm not expecting to get paid from any work I do on it whatsoever, I don't expect anyone here to expect so either, but this could be a great learning opportunity to take on as a project. It may never get uploaded to their web server, ultimately it's her business and her decision, but I could learn a great deal and so could anyone else interested that is willing to be committed to collaborating on a very regular basis. I envision it as a project with phases. First, just building a cleaner site, maybe breaking the menu up into an interactive/dynamic component, not keeping everything on one page, and not needing to send data back and forth using AJAX or any API's. Then, in phase two, I'd like to get here set up with an SSL certificate, create a system for taking orders online that integrates with the payment gateway API that she's using.

    So this is a project that I'd like to approach using C#, .NET, and Angular so that I could knock out two birds with one stone - help my sister and create a portfolio project using the tech stack that the employer that I want to get hired by uses. In addition to this, I'd suggest any other student-level collaborator work on building their own personal web site to use as a resume/portfolio to point any potential employers to, because I also intend to do that. I've purchased a .com, .net, and .org domain, and intend to try to brand myself and use my web site for that purpose, I just have been so busy with my course work that I've spent little time on these side projects.

    So to close this up, I'd like to get just a handful of students together with a handful of mentors, focus on the C#, .NET, and Angular tech stack and get on discord every night, share our code using Github and paste.gg or something similar, lay out our present project for school or self study, or project that we're collaborating on, build code bases, debug, learn how to implement new features, and network a little.

    Please, if you see a hole in this plan, do point it out because I'm already going to be going hard at it every night, I just would like to feel like I'm working alongside other people working on similar things if not the same project.

    So if you want the discord link, please DM (direct message) me, so I can keep the study group small enough that it remains focused and organized. Thanks!

    Was learning python... Starting to get demotivated

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 02:37 AM PDT

    I thought I'd take advantage of this time I have and learn some python because its something I've wanted to do for quite some time. I got through all the basics really well and I understand the concepts, I've designed a few games (with and without help) like guessTheNumber, hangman, etc.

    However recently I decided I wanted to get started on something harder and tried to follow a tutorial on how to shift youtube playlists to spotify. It didn't really work out even though I spent a lot of time on it, and now it seems that python is very hard and I could never really achieve that level. Any tips or advice? Anything I can do to maybe expand my python experience and get better at it?

    Fellow programmers with ADHD - How do you manage sticking to one discipline of programming? (Web, Mobile, Game Development, etc)

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 04:12 PM PDT

    I'm in a Mobile Application Development program in College, and I'm enjoying it but I've suddenly got an urge to dive deep into Front-End web development and UI/UX design. This reminds me a lot of last year when I got really into Unity Game Development.

    I start losing interest when I hit the intermediate phase, but that's not really employable. How do you counter-act this?

    I feel like I'm so close but I'm getting exit code 11...

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 08:44 PM PDT

    I am trying to make a linked sorted list using smart pointers, the bulk of the challenge is this insertSorted method. Here is my main:

    #include <iostream> #include <stdlib.h> #include "SortedListInterface.h" #include "LinkedSortedList.h" #include "Node.h" #include "PrecondViolatedExcep.h" int main() { LinkedSortedList<int> List; int num = 5; std::cout << "Number " << num << " being inserted..." << std::endl; List.insertSorted(num); return 0; }

    And my LinkedSortedList.h:

    #ifndef LINKED_SORTED_LIST_ #define LINKED_SORTED_LIST_ #include "Node.h" template<typename ItemType> class LinkedSortedList : public SortedListInterface<ItemType>{ private: std::shared_ptr<Node<ItemType>> headPtr; int itemcount; public: LinkedSortedList(){itemcount=0;} bool insertSorted(const ItemType& newEntry){ auto newNodePtr = std::make_shared<Node<ItemType>>(newEntry); if(headPtr != nullptr){ std::shared_ptr<Node<ItemType>> prevNodePtr; std::shared_ptr<Node<ItemType>> currNodePtr = headPtr; while(currNodePtr!= nullptr){ if(currNodePtr->getItem() == newEntry || currNodePtr->getItem() > newEntry) { //make new node and inset new node with item before prevNodePtr->getItem() prevNodePtr->setNext(newNodePtr); newNodePtr->setNext(currNodePtr); }else{ prevNodePtr = currNodePtr; currNodePtr = currNodePtr->getNext();} } }else{ headPtr->setNext(newNodePtr); } itemcount++; }

    Learning C++ rant

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 03:25 PM PDT

    I've dabbled with C++ off and on in the fifteen years since I graduated college but every time the simplest things devolve in to these epic side quests.

    For example, I'm trying to write a program that downloads a simple xml file like https://www.wowhead.com/item=52021&xml

    ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61283146/cant-get-vs2019-build-options-correct-for-openssl-in-april-2020 )

    And it's turned in to this Da Vinci Code mystery where I have to obtain the 4 keys of Visual Studio build configuration options to unlock The One True SSL Library.

    I really do want to learn C++ but I need a tutor or something. I can't spend five @#$$%& days compiling the SSL codebase every time I want to get some text from a website.

    Same thing the quest before that. I tried to remove a special character é from a text file...next thing you know I'm reading about the bit code patterns of Unicode 8. I don't want to give a doctorate-level dissertation when I'm trying to concatenate strings.

    The other issue is why are error messages such arcane technobabble? When I was using java in college I remember that if I had an error it generally told me where to look for the issue. With C++ the error messages are incomprehensible, ESPECIALLY if there's a template involved. Is it a linker error? A MS Visual Studio option set incorrectly?

    So should I stick with C++, learn something easier, find a tutor, I dunno. But I'm not going to live forever and I can't be solving Da Vinci code mysteries every time I want to access a website.

    Why Learn Python

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 11:41 PM PDT

    I have been learning python for a while now trying to get good at coding. I started thinking and why should i learn Python over any other language? It's less employable and there are stronger and more applicable languages out there so why Python?

    I ran a Javascript code in my Google's Console, now somebody is attempting to login to my email account

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 11:10 PM PDT

    So I was looking for quick way to delete my "supposed" interest/preferences from Facebook ads. I found and tried 2 codes, the first one didn't work. After a few minutes I got a notification from GMAIL letting me know that there's an ongoing attempt to recover my password from Vietnam. Since I don't have too much knowledge on coding, I was hoping if anyone can take a look into the codes and explain me what exactly I ran on Google's console and how can I "clean" or make sure that I'm not longer sharing any information or being a risk of being hacked.

    Code 1: https://addshore.com/2018/10/quickly-clearing-out-your-facebook-advert-interests/

    Code 2: https://github.com/anuragd/FB-Ad-preference-remover/blob/master/fbapr-min.js

    Thanks a lot!

    How to get the orientation of a QRCode? (I'm using OpenCV and C++)

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 11:08 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I'm working on a project that uses QRCode to get a position. I'm using opencv, the class i'm using is QRCodeDetector and the method that gives me the bounding box of the qrcode is detect(). Right now I'm trying to figure out how to compute the center of that box but after that I'll need to know the orientation of the qrcode. How can I know that?

    [C++] No suitable conversion function from "Test<int>" to "int" exists ([] Operator overloading)

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 10:47 PM PDT

    I am trying to overload the [] operator for a template class.

    #include <iostream> template<typename T> class Test { public: T value; Test(T value) { this->value = value; } T& operator[](int index); }; template<typename T> T& Test<T>::operator[](int index) { return value; } int main() { Test<int>* test = new Test<int>(1); int num = test[0]; }

    However, I'm getting the compile error at the line

    int num = test[0];

    no suitable conversion function from "Test<int>" to "int" exists.

    I'm not currently trying to get any specific index with the [] operator, I'm just trying to work out the kinks with operator [] overloading, and I'm not sure why I can't get the value of the template class with it.

    Fresh grad and don’t have any idea with next move due to covid.

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 10:45 PM PDT

    Hello there, I hope this post is appropriate. I just finished my school (web development program) yesterday but I am unsure of which action should I do next.

    A month ago, I was in the middle of the hiring process then the company had to pause it due to the pandemic. Another company has reached out to our school looking for interns (paid) and willing to take us on remotely. Me and my friend went for the online interview and the interviewers told us we'd be hearing from them by the end of the day or tomorrow. But it has been 3 days since the interview and we haven't heard from them yet and we are left wondering what happened.

    For my peers who just graduated, are you expecting to land a job/intern remotely regardless the virus situation or just keep learning till this pandemic ends? It's a little bit frustrating but I'm trying to keep my heads up and remain positive. Today I started learning Python to remain productive because it is getting boring here at home.

    Any tips and advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

    How to build custom web links/addresses that tech companies use

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 09:51 PM PDT

    I've recently interned at 2 pretty large tech companies that both have had some variant of this feature:
    Being able to create a link shortcut that points to some longer web address. For example, instead of typing drive.google.com/drive/projectA, you can instead just type companyName/projectA and you will automatically get redirected to the google drive link.

    I want to be able to implement this for multiple users and allow all users to to be able to create/update these shortlinks. I understand that this is easier to do on your own local machine.

    I love programming but I cannot possibly study CS in university

    Posted: 18 Apr 2020 08:59 AM PDT

    I have ADHD and all my life I wanted to be a programmer but I was always bad with maths. And because of my ADHD I had motivation to study programming for only 2 weeks then stop, start again 2 months later go for 2 weeks then stop again. It was like this till I started my ADHD meds. It was amazing. For the last 5 months the only thing I do is programming 7/24. AND I LOVE IT. I enjoy it so much and I would love a career in Software Engineering. But the thing is I study German german interpreting and translation as degree in university right now. I must say I don't like it one bit. And I don't think any future with it. I want a career in software engineering but I know I have zero hope for studying Computer Science as degree. I will need a really high score in the exam we have in Turkey. My maths are not great. Not Horrible but not great either. I think of studying physics engineering because then I will atleast have an "engineering" diploma. And its required score isn't that high.

    So my question is, is a diploma in engineering important for a career in Software engineering? Or any diploma at all? Without a diploma how hard/harder would it be? I feel like I am just wasting my time with the German Translation thing I am doing right now.
