    How frequently should you commit to a GitHub repo?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 11:39 AM PDT

    I don't mean how many times a day, I mean like how many changes should you have made before you make a new commit. I'm 15 and I've never had a software development job (obviously), so I don't know the conventions. At the moment I'm committing once I've completely developed and tested a new feature or bug fix, but is that right? It usually comes down to about a commit per two hours of development time. Also, when you're first starting a project, should you make your first commit once you have a working prototype, or once it's properly tested, or earlier? Thanks in advance for your help

    I have a Wacom tablet. How can I use it to make my programming life better?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 05:59 PM PDT

    I purchased this silly thing on impulse and now I don't know what to do with it.

    For reference, I'm a web developer, and I program mainly in PHP/JavaScript.

    This is the tablet that I have: https://i.imgur.com/eTQydGD.jpg

    I also do design quite a bit, but I mainly design directly with CSS/HTML on the site rather than using Sketch or some other design app.

    What language should I use to program a bot that would snipe a username in the game Minecraft?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 12:31 PM PDT

    I want to program a bot that will retrieve the 'drop time' of a specific username using Mojang's (studio behind minecraft) public API, and then send many requests at that time from multiple proxies to hopefully get the username.

    I am quite new to programming and I have only dabbled in HTML and C#, but I am willing to learn anything. I do not know if I should use Java, Python or Visual Basic. What do you think?

    I would also appreciate any other advice!

    Is there an easy way to create a script that go on a website, get some data and save them ?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 03:25 PM PDT

    I have to get data from 20000 reports, and the website only able to get data from 100 reports at once. So I would have to make 2000 times the same operation : - go to the website - put the right criteria in the search field - click on "select all" - click on "get the data" - when a new window opens, select the format (Json) - get the json file and add the data to my database

    A friend of mine told me that there are existing solutions without tell which, but anyway do you have advice to tell me ?

    I can code with python.

    How difficult is it to create a video chat/conferencing site?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 05:04 PM PDT

    I have junior level development experience mostly with front end and some backend. Mostly use javascript and javascript frameworks

    I have an idea for a website that needs to use two features I have no experience in building: A chat room feature and a video chat feature.

    How challenging is it for someone who has never built a video chat feature to incorporate such a feature in a web development project?

    I would prefer not to use a plugin or SaaS solution unless this truly is standard. What is the standard protocol here and how difficult would it be for a jr front end developer to pickup?

    Python Recursion Question

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 04:34 PM PDT

    I just started learning about recursion in Python and I had a question regarding the output in this code. When I ran this in Python Tutor on function call count is 5: P1 = A , P2 = B , P3 = C.

    When count is 4: (C,B,A).

    When count is 3: (A,B,C).
    If I specified that move(count - 1, P3, P2, P1)why does the output for count 3 output A B C instead of C B A?

    ``` def move(count,P1,P2,P3): if count >= 1: move(count - 1, P3,P2,P1) print(P3,P2,P1) print('-----') move(5,'A','B','C') ```

    Hey everyone,

    Please look at this image for the example I'm trying to work out:

    https://ibb.co/sydpMvr

    Specially I'm trouble at Step d. I thought Step b should be (0.11000000000000000000000)2 x 8, but I don't follow how it was changed to (1.11000000000000000000000)2 x 8. Someone please give me some insight..

    What one language do you believe every beginner to intermediate programmer should learn?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 04:26 PM PDT

    I'm not talking about the first language you think they should learn. If you could require every programmer to have one language in their arsenal, regardless of what type of programming they were going to end up doing, what one would you want it to be?

    Word detection during written digital exam.

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 11:53 AM PDT

    Hello everyone.

    I want to implement some features to my quiz where is a written the package on laravel.

    For the open questions- where student has to answer in the text field, we can provide the teacher with possibility to specify trigger words. And during the checking of the student's answer automatically by the software, these words will be considered to make some grading by it, in order to give an approximate percentage of point for certain questions (Like detecting for grading). Also, these words will be highlighted in the answer text to gain time for the teacher while checking.

    So, my problem is finding the roadmap for this problem, as I'm new in PHP. (Its collaborative work with the team and my teammate created that quiz, not me)

    Can anyone help me with that? How can i start, in which perspective should i approach firstly and so on.

    Thanks in advance<3

    How to scan a Sudoku board?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 02:50 PM PDT

    I'm considering making a Sudoku solver app for practice. I don't know exactly how I would get the board from a photo though. I tried looking up how to write a barcode scanner from scratch to see if it gave me any hints, but all I could find was tutorials on using SDKs. Not sure how to scan for that tic-tac-toe-shaped board.

    I thought about using text recognition and just grabbing numbers, but it seems like it would be prone to error.

    How do websites analyze Spotify data?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 02:12 PM PDT

    Hi, don't know if this is the right place to post this. But, for those of you who use spotify, I'm sure you know about websites like last.fm, visualify.io, and statsforspotify.com which help you analyze your listening habits, like who your most frequent artists are and your top tracks.

    So how the heck to those websites access that spotify data? I recently downloaded my personal data but it only gives you the last year. How do those websites access the data from all time? Asking because I'd love to get my raw all time data and do some analysis of my own.

    Realistically, how long would it take to code/program software to handle a Bar Exam with 2,000+ users?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 10:19 AM PDT

    I understand this is a VERY broad and general question regarding this topic, but we are really not being provided with much information as far as details go.

    Due to COVID-19, the Florida Bar Exam is going to be administered and proctored online on August 19th. The software the bar is using, called ILG360, has been experiencing technical difficulties and the proctoring functionality of the software has been tested by live trials in both Indiana and Nevada (both states which have ~1,500 less test takers than FL) and they have not been able to get the proctoring functionality to work, so much so that both stated have dropped the proctoring and are just administering the Exam on the ordinary software which takes over and locks the user's computers and times the exam. Florida is having us all re-download the software to include the updates that they are hoping will address the issues with the proctoring function, and having us all do a test trial in 10 days. (Also, the prior version of the exam did cause my brand new laptop to crash and I lost all files that were not saved on the cloud, which is also super awesome.) So basically, I guess i'm just wondering to the best of anyone's guess, what are the odds that the programmers are able to write/fix whatever problems are in the code in 10 days. Thanks in advance!

    TLDR; the software for FL's Bar exam is fucked and programmers have 10 days to fix it, is that possible/ probable?

    How to handle ReactJS view when making RxJS call?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 08:52 AM PDT

    I'm building a Trello clone with some added functionality for some practice, and currently when a user drags an item from one list to another, I make a call to my DB to update. It works well, however there is about 0.5s delay from when a user drops the card in the list, and the new view renders.

    I'm thinking I need my component to write the new list to the redux store, then make the post request, hoping the db and front end will be in-sync until the next re-mount? That's the best I can think of and it feels like it can get messy.

    I'm 100% self-taught and wondering if anyone can tell me if I'm headed in the right direction, or if they may know of a less destructive way to handle this?

    much love

    Do people still develop offline-exclusive desktop software?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 07:23 AM PDT

    This might sound odd, but it drives me nuts that a power outage or a wire down could make a program more or less useless. So you have a laptop, and that stays on at least for a little while because it has an internal battery, but the network is out, so everything you spent weeks on building is useless until power comes back on. I realize there isn't a ton that an enterprise level company could do with one laptop still on, but these scenarios strike me as ones where it would be really valuable to have software that will at least let everyone do SOMETHING until everything returns to normal.

    We have this huge grid and all of this infrastructure, and the world seems to lose its mind for the time that the internet is out because of how reliant on it we've become. I'm not saying there isn't value to web development (hopefully that's obvious due to the fact that I'm asking this on the internet), but did offline desktop software really climax at single player games and general office software? What am I missing?

    EDIT: Also IDEs, media editing software... I know there's more. Not trying to be thick headed.

    How does Blockchain work on a programming level?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 06:11 AM PDT

    I have never traded with bitcoin, but i find it very interesting and would like to know how it works on a programming level. From what i heard, when it came out you had to write the blockchain software yourself, so i am wondering how one would go about doing this?

    How do you keep yourself updatet?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 02:13 AM PDT

    I'm an experienced developer and want to keep myself updatet without needing to google something on my own. I rather want systems to notify me like: "Hey there is a new release for XYZ and its huge". I would also like to choose what XYZ is (e.g. reactjs, Java, etc..)

    What's the way you keep yourself updatet ? What are your channels?

    For example currently i want to learn more about Java Spring (Boot/Cloud) and Microservices.

    Any advice is greatly appreciated !

    Can I create a loop inside of a switch instruction?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 05:36 AM PDT

    I'm writing a C program and I'm using switch instructions. After every "default" case (that prints the string "error. Enter the correct option") is it possible to make the switch start all over again with the new (allowed) value of the variable? Idk maybe with a scanf function to overwrite the same variable used in the switch?
