    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 06:35 AM PDT

    I've tried looking up various different answers to me and so far nothing is clicking into place for me.

    It's a bit bizarre because I even use terminals to an extent for basic stuff - but I essentially just go through the motions and do what some tutorial on the internet says without understanding what exactly is happening.

    I know that terminals are how you send commands to your Operating System, and that the lines of code you type are what actually happens when you take actions through the typical GUI.

    But I still can't grasp a lot about them. Why do there seem to be so many types of terminals and what precisely is the difference between them?

    Self-Taught Discord Group

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 11:46 AM PDT

    Hey everyone. Self-taught doesn't mean you have to learn alone. I'm starting a Discord for people who are self teaching and want to build connects with other people who are also beginning their coding journeys. Let me know if you're interested and I'll send a link!

    I hope to make this a valuable resource and community. Thank you for reading!

    resource for multiple programming languages that perform the same function

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 12:26 PM PDT

    I am not new to basic programming, but am looking to expand my learning of different languages. Are there any resources out there that will show the same program in different languages side by side? Preferably something with a few examples, or more complex than 'Hello World'
    I figure it would be a good visual way to see if the syntax is readable, or makes sense.

    If not, would this be a good resource to build for other programmers to reference?

    Twitch Programming Races

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 09:46 PM PDT

    Would there be anybody who is interested in doing programming races on Twitch? Participants would all be given a coding problem and then tasked with coming up with a solution. First few finishers could have their programs verified and examined. Don't really have any prizes to hand out except for fame and glory, but maybe you could learn a thing or two. I'm a rather competitive person and just looking for a fun way to improve my programming skills. Let me know and I'd be happy to setup the event.

    How can I make MySQL Workbench look nice?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 05:58 PM PDT

    I have to use MySQL Workbench for a course but it's just kind of ugly.

    First, it's very low resolution. I think Win10 install the 32 bit version when I installed MySQL. Any way to make it match my display's resolution? Will I have to uninstall all dozen or so MySQL things that were installed then find a 64 bit version?

    Second, the themes are all pretty outdated. Is there a way to import themes and find one I like?

    Finally, is there a guide for managing all of the windows/tabs? I'm on a small laptop and only really need the the part with the SQL code, the results, and maybe the console.

    Any suggestions would be very much appreciated! I've been spoiled with VSCode and don't want to have to look at this for the rest of the semester lol.

    Looking for a way to pull a movie poster from movie titles

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 11:06 AM PDT

    Hi!

    I'm doing an inventory for an old movie theater, and I have a pile of about 1000+ movie posters on my hands. I have made a huge spreadsheet (Google Sheets) with all the movie titles, since we're probably going to organize a sale, and I wanted to know if there was a way to:

    • Quickly pull the movie posters associated with the movies (from something like IMDB), to give potential customers an idea of what to expect
    • Find some kind of medium price from ebay with keywords like "MovieName" + "poster"

    I've done that by hand for previous inventories but there must be an easier solution. I have some basic knowledge of programming, but I'm open to any suggestions.

    Question about deploying ReactJS webapp to Google cloud

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 07:24 PM PDT

    Hi r/askProgramming!

    I'm trying to build a webapp in ReactJS and deploy it to Google Cloud. The webapp will be connected to a Java backend which connects to a MySQL database, all to be hosted on Google Cloud. I have very little experience in deploying apps, I'm wondering what the best way is to accomplish this? We're not dead set on using GCP, we can use AWS/Azure if its a lot simplier.

    I am trying to learn the best way of doing this, and reading online some are telling me to set up Docker, or use Express with NodeJS to deploy, and I'm not sure what the best option is.

    The front-end will be relatively simple, with calls only to the backend. The backend will need to make third-party API calls, with the retreived data sent to the database.

    Thank you in advance!

    Any advice for a Jr Engineer?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 12:40 PM PDT

    I just got hired as a Jr Software Engineer! I've been trying for the last two years and I finally got my first job in this field. They are aware I have very little experience with the majority of my foundation coming from a coding bootcamp. I've been working hard and grinding to get this position. But now that I'm here I want to make sure I exceed expectations.

    I honestly don't know what to expect. With the pandemic, everything is remote right now. What general advice would you have for a fresh newbie?

    Is JAMstake feasible for my situation or should I go SSR?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 04:35 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I'd like the benefits of a jamstack, but I plan on doing a lot of writing on my blog and I've read that build times can get long if you have too many pages. However, I have no idea how many pages is too many pages.

    I would imagine I wouldn't write more than 100 posts anytime soon, average length around 1,000 to 4,000 words with a lot of pictures.

    Should I use SSR instead? I realize I can use Next.js and get the both of both worlds, but from my understanding the next.js server handles the pre-rendered and ssr pages automatically, but I want to take advantage of being able to deploy to a CDN as I'm targeting a global audience.

    So, should I use SSR only or is it feasible?

    Thanks

    Signed Files Usage (Exe), Qt-Secrets

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 04:28 PM PDT

    Is it safe to use a signed exe? I'm still learning about this topic and if I sign a TXT file it just appends the sign at the end of the text so now I'm questioning if this has any effect over exe files and so, png files seem to look and work the same so I was thinking that they should all be safe to use. I thought I would have to remove the signature to use the file.
    Is the sign marker special so it doesn't have an effect over the files?

    I'm using Qt-Secrets, RSA Signing.

    Sorry if the question is dumb.

    Using Stream Deck and Rotary Knob

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 12:40 PM PDT

    Hello I am huge into flight simulators and trying to make the experience better is there a way where I put things like Heading, Altitude, altimeter etc anything that would need you to turn a knob on a stream deck so if I click the "heading" button on the stream deck then a rotary knob would be used to change it. Then on the stream deck I click "altimeter" and then the knob is now used to change the altimeter. I have this idea in my head but it's very hard to explain and not sure if it is possible.

    Is this possible (necessary) or am I crazy?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 04:15 PM PDT

    Hello all,

    I'd like to take advantage of the benefits of the JAMStack, because I have a global user-base, but creating a blog for the Jamstack just doesn't seem like a great solution, as many articles are expected to be written.

    I'm wondering if there's a way to have the best of both world. Use static pages for landing page (hosted on netlify or somewhere) and for the blog pages `/blog/*`, serve them via SSR.

    The only way I can think of doing this would have to be handled at the DNS level, but I don't know of any way to server two separate instances via the root domain.

    Any ideas?

    Looking to program an FPS-like (Frames Per Second) overlay that I can see from within my games

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 02:39 PM PDT

    I have a service and want to be able to monitor a certain data value while in my game. I envision it to be like an FPS counter. Where it sits in one of the screen corners with a transparent background.

    I do have experience in programming, I am looking for a place to start though, such as recommended language and technique.

    How could a piece of music be turned into notes?

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 01:38 PM PDT

    Starting off with a piece of instrumental music, such as the instrumental version of a pop song or nursery rhyme, how would one go about turning this music into musical notes (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and their respective sharps / minors)? I wish only to turn instrumental versions of songs into the main tune of the song, or the chorus, so only the main melody needs to be inscribed into musical notes. Can anyone suggest any good libraries or methods towards doing this? I would prefer python or java supported libraries, but I am open to any library from any language. (Note, do not want to use existing applications for this) Thanks in advance!

    Art Packing Project (Starting point?)

    Posted: 10 Sep 2020 06:37 AM PDT

    I currently work for a company that develops traveling art and humanities exhibitions. These can range from a bunch of framed photos of the same or similar size, stacked on trays, all the way to steel structures that need to be put together (think ikea style flat packed). Shows can also include art objects that are more dimensional than flat.

    As of now, we take our spread sheets of object dimensions and just figure out what would pack best with what by hand...this can be very time consuming and though tends to work well, I fell could be more efficiently done.

    If I wanted to have a program where I can input the dimensions of all the objects, with certain restrictions (crate can be no wider than X taller than Y and so on) and have it work out a layout of each layer of a given crate...where would I start?

    This is not dissimilar to cut list functions that tell me how many sheet of plywood I would need for my cut list...but I have not been able to find anything that does what I am looking for.

    To be clear, this is not an emergency. I have been interested in learning to program for some time, and this is a need I have, and seemed like a good project to learn my way through some things.

    I apologize if what I am looking for is unclear. I do this stuff everyday, so I may have left out certain details that others may not understand what I am getting at.
