    Job interview told me my resume showed I can code, but not that I'm a programmer. What am I missing?

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 10:19 AM PDT

    I have an information systems degree, and I have coded a bunch on my own. I know a computer science degree would have screamed "programmer", but what aspects make the difference? Other posts say things like writing clean and compatible code, but there must be more. What are things I can study for general programming to move from "you know the languages" to "you know how to program"?

    How Pinterest works?

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 05:18 AM PDT

    I searched the title, and always got a lot of videos on how pinterest is good for digital marketing. No doubt of that, the damn service is so good. Not only for marketing, for new ideas. Specially makeup and interior design. At least, to my experience.

    But I never could find how it works technically. First, I found there's no possibility of uploading images by users. I might be wrong, but in a lot of cases, what I found is only a bunch of images from other websites. So, it made a question in my mind "Is it a web scrapper?".

    After that, I only thought it searches among image sharing websites or services, such as instagram or deviantart. But later, I saw images from news agencies and fashion websites as well.

    So, where the content is coming from?

    Advice on building a project that analyzes the size of lakes in the US?

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 05:20 PM PDT

    I want to take all the lakes in the US and see if a 1mile x 50ft box fits in them. Stuff I am not sure how to solve:

    - how to get a dataset for this

    - what a good stack would be

    - generally how to go about this

    ​

    I just want to get a list of all lakes/ponds/reservoirs/etc that fit the inputted dimensions first then would hope to give it a tinder-like front end.

    ​

    Cheers, appreciate any info at all

    [Language] Cons of your favorite language stack & most promising alternatives?

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 02:49 PM PDT

    What kinds of problems do you enjoy solving (and/or solve for a living), and what language (and ecosystem) do you prefer? Does it come with any known issues - and if so - how do you work around them?

    What alternatives are you keeping an eye on, why, and what's stopping you from using them now?

    I'll go first. I find myself still strongly preferring Python for backend web development. I find the world of async in Python, language speed in general (and needing to resort to scaling sooner - or dipping into a lower level language to write an extension) occasionally a barrier. I also find myself wishing it had a stronger type system (something a lot more like F#). Dependency management and deployment can be painful.

    To work around these issues I utilize mypy, and also if needed will write an extension (Rust, Go, and even Nim are all excellent choices depending on the problem set, plus of course C if truly needed). But mostly I just make sure my testing is thorough - and leverage the right frameworks to optimize for speed (lately I've been loving Falcon + gunicorn/meinheld).

    I've been keeping a close eye on C#, F#, Kotlin, Nim, Scala, Go, Rust, Crystal, and Clojure as an alternative. But each for me currently has at least one killer issue holding me back. Maybe you've made a home in one of these languages and can dissuade me over?

    • C# -> Verbosity. It's just not a terribly expressive language. This impacts developer speed and maintainability.
    • F# -> Tooling. Unclear compiler errors, buggy syntax highlighting and autocomplete (in Rider EAP and VSCode). Computation expressions end up adding complexity to the codebase but are necessary for core functionality.
    • Kotlin -> As Java, Android, and JS evolve - it's unclear how Kotlin will continue to straddle these three hosts + native. The disconnect from the JVM in particular makes me wonder if it's a sustainable long term solution.
    • Nim -> I want to love Nim, but the ecosystem is small and not well maintained, with DSLs where APIs ought live. It's also rather easy to crash the compiler, or have unclear compiler errors.
    • Scala -> It's easy to overcomplicate things, 3.0 is around the corner and looking to be a breaking change on many levels, gradle support is lacking, and SBT is notoriously slow.
    • Go -> Lack of generics, lack of try/except and strictly opinionated error handling, dependency management, verbosity, references and pointers are additional complexity I'd prefer to avoid.
    • Rust -> Cognitive overhead of memory management, the syntax can be both verbose and cluttered/confusing.
    • Crystal -> Still in it's infancy - small ecosystem, compiler can crash, programs can segfault easily.
    • Clojure -> Maintainability of larger scale lisp-dialect programs, lack of static typing, and the limitations of being JVM hosted without the priority/visibility of a higher profile language like Scala.

    I enjoy a lot about all of the languages above, and am keeping an eye on all of them to see how they continue to evolve.

    So - what would you switch to today? What might you switch to in the future? Or why are you comfortable sticking with your favorite?

    Need help (will pay) with a Python-OpenDSS Co-simulation seminar

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 02:30 PM PDT

    Hi people,

    I have a serious request for someone who can help me with a seminar that got over my head. I am willing to pay to get through the seminar, but do remember I am still a student.

    The goal of the seminar is to show the process of determining optimal location and size (power) of a single battery energy storage (BES) in a small distribution network using differential evolution in Anaconda to have less power losses in the network. The part with OpenDSS is handled, I just dont know how to optimize in Python

    P. S. OpenDSS is a free software we use to simulate a distribution network and do network calculations.

    I have the literature and necessary functions, but simply no idea where to even start. I thought that my understanding of distribution systems would overcome my lack of knowledge in Python, but I am very wrong and very overwhelmed.

    Is anyone willing to basically do the simulation part of seminar for some money?

    What does your company do?

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 10:29 AM PDT

    I want to improve my github even more. I've been making some "cool" projects, but none of them are "Enterprise level".

    What I mean to ask is, what software applications does your company / the company you work for do? Why you do them and how?

    Obviously if you cannot talk about it that's not a problem, but for the ones who can, please let me know, I really need to improve my github and my programming experience.

    Thanks in advance!

But if manually changed into a .xls file they can be opened in excel and used correctly. Can anyone please explain to me how/if its possible to write batch file that would grab all the .txt files in a specific folder and re name them with .xls file extension ? This would help me tremendously, trying to make my workflow process less demanding i have to process several reports a day and this would help me a lot.

    I'm trying to communicate from RasPi to Arduino via Rs485. I'm using an Usb to Rs485 converter on the RasPi side, and Max485 chip on Arduino side. Neither one picks up a message from the other.

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 06:11 AM PDT

    I need to connect a RasPi to my existing RS485 network so I can access all of it via internet. I know both devices can send information, but it is not being received by the other

    I have a RasPi 4B, with a USB to Rs485 adapter. This particular adapter has two leds that light up when you are receiving information (RXD) and transmitting information (TXD). They are incredibly useful, and because of them I know that information is being sent out of the RasPi.

    The Arduino is an Arduino Mega, and is connected to a MAX485 Transceiver. I have used these chips extensively in an Arduino to Arduino network, and they function wonderfully.

    Wiring has been checked repeatedly:

    USB Adapter: A to MAX485 A, B to MAX485 B, GND to Arduino GND

    MAX485: VCC to Arduino 5v, GND to Arduino GND, RO to Arduino RX3, DI to Arduino TX3, DE/RE to Arduino pin 3.

    In the code below, I am not trying to send information back and forth. I just want to know if I received anything on the Arduino.

    Python Code:

    #!/usr/bin/env python3 import serial rs = serial.Serial( port="/dev/ttyUSB0", baudrate = 9600, parity=serial.PARITY_NONE, stopbits=serial.STOPBITS_ONE, bytesize=serial.EIGHTBITS, timeout=0, rtscts = True ) if (rs.isOpen() == True): rs.close() rs.open() rs.reset_input_buffer() outstr = "5" rs.write(outstr.encode(encoding = 'ascii'))

    Arduino Code:

    void setup() { Serial3.begin(9600); Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(3, OUTPUT); //Set enable pin as Output pinMode(3, LOW); //Allows MAX485 to recieve Serial.println("Engaged."); } void loop() { while(Serial3.available()){ Serial.println("We got somethin"); //Lets me know if I somehow got something if(Serial3.available()){ byte data = Serial3.read(); Serial.println(data); } } }

    I have multiples of each MAX485 chip and USB to RS485 adapters, and have tried using them in case something was broken inside the devices. No change.

    Thoughts?

    Moq test passed on first run then failed subsequently

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 08:01 AM PDT

    Hi,

    I am new to moq and unit testing so I hope I can get some help here.

    I am not sure if I am allowed to share the code.

    So, I will describe as best as I can.

    I run this MOQ test and it got passed in the first run.

    After that I changed one of the test variable and it failed and point out to me the reason why it failed. I am not sure how this message came about because I have another test which I have written that failed too but there is no explicit error message.

    Now, when I correct the variable I changed to its original it is supposed to pass the test, it doesn't and it gives the same old error message where I changed the variable.

    Can I know what should I do to make it pass again cos even I shut down the VS ide it is not giving me a passed test...it seems VS just remember the old test ....

    Please help me on this cos I think my boss is like ignoring me for good...probably thinking I am too lousy ....
