| 34 y/o with no quals/experience got his first job Posted: 03 May 2021 06:13 PM PDT This is just a thank you to the numerous threads over the past year that kept me sane and made me realise I wasn't making a stupid mistake. I grafted my ass off and am now a Junior Java Developer. It's never too late, show your drive and willingness to learn and it's just a matter of when, not if. Thanks again. Seriously.

| What programming mistakes can get you fired? Posted: 03 May 2021 04:22 AM PDT Currently, I am at beginner level, so my tasks are limited to writing groovy scripts and configuring projects in a bug tracking system, and develop small plugins for it. I want to jump into serious web development, but I have imposter syndrome, or the fear that I will make a mistake that will get me fired. [link] [comments]  |
| Are there any decent audiobooks or podcasts to learn some topics in Programming? Posted: 03 May 2021 08:06 PM PDT I am trying to transition from C# to Java and find a new job. During the day whilst I work (or code in C# lol) I often listen to audiobooks or podcasts. At the end of the day I am usually too burnt out to write more code in Java for practice. I was wondering if there are any good audio materials were I can listen to some topics in programming, such as data structures, threading etc. ? Basically anything programming and audio book related lol THanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Self Taught Dev [5.3.2021, post 1] Posted: 03 May 2021 08:39 PM PDT Going to start this post out by saying I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm hoping others are in this boat as well. I've stuck my toes in the web dev water for about a year while working other jobs, producing music etc etc. Obviously, commitment is needed to really master programming. My goal is to earn one certification from freeCodeCamp every 2 weeks. I will be going through each challenge extensively, posting questions here as well. I may adjust that time frame moving forward, but two weeks seems like enough time to build multiple projects per section, add them to a portfolio, etc. Also, currently working 60 hrs/week at my current non-dev job, so fml, but able to work on programming during the day / work breaks. So - 1 section every 2 weeks puts me at about 22 weeks with the interview prep. We'll call it 24 weeks, so 6 months. My goal is to be interview-ready in 6 months. I've completed the Responsive Web Design cert and am halfway though JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures cert (having some previous knowledge it took a few days). Development wise - I've scratched the surface with Angular / python / Node / Git using VS code, but really wanted to start from the beginning. I was just about as lost as you can imagine without the fundamentals. I've been producing music for about 5 years with Ableton / Logic, so learning Unity with C# felt like a natural progression. This post is to serve as the beginning of my self-taught journey. I've looked into bootcamps but I am challenging myself to put the pieces together, save money and land a job using free and relatively inexpensive resources. This is also for anyone searching the internet looking to start from the ground up. I hope this journal helps us both. I'm not sure where this will lead but I am hoping to stay consistent by posting weekly to add some accountability and chat with others in the same boat. Hopefully the mods allow it, I didn't see any rules about it. This isn't meant to be self-promotion but rather to start communicating frequently with other developers and beginners who may need motivation to start. Weekly Questions:
Weekly goals;
Resources and current practice items - week 1 - JavaScript exercises on edabit - angular - node Thank you to everyone who will be answering questions along the way. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts, comments, concerns, helpful resources, just to chat, whatever. Again, goal is to be interview ready in 6 months, hopeful to make it happen. Looking forward to starting this weekly journal [link] [comments]  |
| Universal Set & Venn Diagram Confusion Posted: 03 May 2021 09:31 PM PDT U is the set of positive integers less than 6. A = {2, 4, 5} and B = {1, 2, 3}. Draw a Venn diagram showing U, A, and B.

| Why can’t my program do simple math? I’m so confused Posted: 03 May 2021 11:19 PM PDT I'm trying to learn c# when I noticed my program keeps doing really weird things when trying to do math and I don't know why.Problem 1 it happens with floating point numbers but works with doubles. But then later when I try to subtract with doubles it messes up to here . Does anyone know why it is messing up? Also can someone explain why floating point numbers need an f at the end (3.2f) but doubles don't need a d at the end? [link] [comments]  |
| Is programming actually fun in the workplace? Posted: 03 May 2021 08:53 PM PDT Title basically says it all. I'm thinking of pursuing CS in university, and I enjoy programming for fun, but is it enjoyable in actual jobs? [link] [comments]  |
| Helping someone by writing a bruteforce algorithm for their lost crypto wallet Posted: 03 May 2021 03:16 PM PDT Hi there! Im a novice programmer and im learning c# right now. I decided to take it up on myself to help someone who lost Access to their old wallet holding some crypto. The situation is as follows 7 unknown characters (with 93 possibilieties for each)1 know n character. The hashing algorithm used is sha256(sha256(sha256(password))). Right now im at the stage where i cant see any further optimisation. Im 7 loops deep and Then call the hashing method which converts a string to a byte array and Then hashes it 3 times and another method compares that result to the saved passwordhash of the wallet. I have manually set threads to start at different heights of the least iterated char and the hashing speed per thread is around 400.000 for a good desktop cpu. I know it should be possible to use a gpu for these sort of tasks but im struggeling to find an answer that is specificly in this field and in c#. Any help is appreciated. You can inspect my noobish code here on github [link] [comments]  |
| Building your own text editor. Help Wanted! Posted: 03 May 2021 01:02 AM PDT It's been few days since I started working on a personal project, which happens to be a text editor. Since I wanted to implement it in C, it was only logical that I use ncurses for extended terminal support, rendering & drawing. Initially, I was following the tutorial Build Your Text Editor and then implementing things on my own in ncurses. The above tutorial uses an array buffer to store & read text, which happens to be an inefficient way of reading and writing text. I've few questions which has been bugging me and I can't seem to find the answers (maybe I'm not looking at the right place). It'd be helpful if you guys could help me with it, or point me in the right direction. • What other efficient data structures can I use to read/ write text? I've been reading about the piece table being efficient and fast. Piece Table . Given the complexity of the piece table, will it be the right choice to use it instead of the buffer array? • How would I go on about implementing Vim like features in the text editor? Precisely, the editing modes— similar to Insert & Command modes. • And the last one, say I want to have my text editor support a config file similar to ".vimrc". How would I go on implementing the said functionality? I've been reading about Lua C API and how it can be scripted to support the said functionality! Any additional insights would be helpful.

| Python subprocess returning for no reason? Posted: 03 May 2021 09:50 PM PDT I'm trying out some sentiment analysis with NLTK, and for some reason my python code is just returning for no reason. I am using the multiprocessing built-in library, so I'm guessing that must be part of the problem? Basically, I get data from the internet and process it, but then when I try to do the sentiment analysis, the code is just returning from the function early for seemingly no reason. I can't find any information online to help me because I'm not really sure what to look for. Breakdown of the sentiment analysis: On the line that it returns, it should just be creating a SentimentIntensityAnalyzer object. In the debug menu it said Here's the gist of my multiprocessing code if that is helpful: [link] [comments]  |
| Why I Can't Understand Pointers Posted: 03 May 2021 04:37 PM PDT So I know what pointers do and I can work with them at variable level but whenever I see a pointer at function parameter or a pointer to struct my brain stops working. Bro I know it's not that hard but I can't get it completely. What can I do ? [link] [comments]  |
| How to create a priority Que based on an objects member in Java? Posted: 03 May 2021 08:59 PM PDT Hello I'm, currently trying to build djikstra algorithm with java however I am struggling in where I have to implement a priority queue. I need to create a priority queue that takes a node and then prioritize it bsaed on the node member of the distance. So far I have only come up with this Node File Main File I'm very clueless at this point on how I make the priority queue. I have seen this solution on stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1449679/priority-queue-in-java but I am still confused on what to pass to the function parameter of a1, and a2 [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 May 2021 08:34 PM PDT Let's say I have two blocks of code that are used for different things (A block of code for a math quiz , and a block of code for a Vocab quiz). Can I make each blocks of code a variable/class of some sort, let me give an example: if answer == "I Choose Math Quiz!": print(MathQuizCode) elif answer == "I choose Vocab Quiz!" print(VocabQuizCode) I have the code for both the math and Vocab quiz, I just don't know what to do for when the user puts which quiz they want to do. Any advice will help, thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| ArrayList Sum Digits - no return Java Posted: 03 May 2021 08:28 PM PDT I'm going through my homework right now but I'm stumped on the last question. I need to write a void method that finds the sum of all the digits of a number and replaces the number with the sum. Problem: Write a method that will sum all digits of a number and replace the number with its digit sum. Data: A list containing 0 or more values. The list will not point at null. All numbers will be positive. Output: All numbers will be replaced by their digit sum. Help: The method for this problem does not return nor print anything. You must change the values in the list that was passed in. Starting List Ending List [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 03 May 2021 10:35 PM PDT Good morning, I am currently stuck on one problem of my programming hw and I don't know how to do it. Would anyone be kind to help me solve it. The program we are using is Python by the way. Question 1: You are writing an app that calculates unit conversions for scientists. Define a function called C_to_F that takes one input parameter representing temperature in Celsius and prints out the temperature in Fahrenheit. The formula for the conversion is: F = (1.8 * C) + 32.0 Example Function Calls: C_to_F(0.0) # should print: 0.0 degrees Celsius is 32.0 degrees Fahrenheit. C_to_F(100.0) # should print: 100.0 degrees Celsius is 212.0 degrees Fahrenheit. ———————————————————————————— Does anyone know how to do this? [link] [comments]  |
| Advice for self-taught amateur looking for his first Junior Dev job? Posted: 03 May 2021 06:36 PM PDT Hey, everyone! As the title states, I'm an amateur who has practiced self-teaching for the last 7 months to hopefully get some essentials of full-stack web design under his belt. I'm nervous and scared about looking for gainful employment in this field, as I've taken a complete 180 with my career path after the pandemic swept the world. I guess I'm concerned that a 28 year old artist like myself may be either too late to the game or in over his head without a CS degree (that I can't really afford right now). If you're interested in maybe giving this rookie some advice to help him on his way (my wife and I appreciate it so much!), I've included some background/experience info about me below, but I would love any tips or advice you may have regarding the following: 1) Do you think there is anything further I could do to improve my appeal to an employer? 2) Do you have any recommendations on how to go about this job hunt starting from zero? 3) Do you know of any common pitfalls or bad practices amateurs like myself fall into or demonstrate early on that I might take steps to avoid? 4) Any ol' advice ya got is very much appreciated! To note: I am doing plenty of my own research about next steps and taking on that work as well, but historically I've gleaned such helpful information from this community, and I value its insights so I consider this a valuable resource to mine in tandem. Background: I've got a Bachelor of Arts in Theater Studies and a Master of Fine Arts in devised performance, which, in a nutshell, is a practice of collaborate art-making to produce original theatrical productions. In an interview, I feel I would definitely lean into my spirit for collaboration and history of product-oriented thinking and teamwork. Experience: I have zero formal training in Computer Science. A month into the U.S quarantine, I looked at Full-stack bootcamps, but I couldn't afford their exorbitant rates (typically 10k+). Ultimately, I signed up for an affordable alternative called Altcademy and trained through their online FullStack course of pre-published materials as well as enrolling in this Helsinki University's free course "Fullstack" (which actually offers college credits -- if you have a Finish social security card; otherwise, they give you a certificate). After completing those courses, I feel I have a reliable competency in: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSX, TypeScript, React (with and without Hooks), Redux, Ruby, and Ruby on Rails, and an understanding of REST API and GraphQL. I've also worked with GitHub at this point and a Git workflow. I've been practicing my JavaScript on HackerRank as much as I can to improve my language proficiency, and I've started thumbing through "Cracking the Coding Interview," as it has come recommended as a valuable Tech interview prep book. Again, any advice you can offer is genuinely a kindness and so appreciated. I've loved theatre-making, but I've also genuinely loved making simple web apps for friends and myself. Creation is creation, and it's a beautiful thing. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 May 2021 10:21 PM PDT Studying for my intro to c++ final tomorrow and this is something I haven't really understood the whole semester, I just kind of messed with it until it worked. Also any advice relating to creating a class with a header file and functions in the cpp file correctly is welcome. I feel like it's a simple concept but for some reason I'm just not fully grasping it. [link] [comments]  |
| Is there any way to test into higher levels of Mimo courses instead of starting from the beginning? Posted: 03 May 2021 04:11 PM PDT Is there any way to test into higher levels of Mimo courses instead of starting from the beginning? What is the most advanced Mimo course, the one that goes furthest into some language? Or maybe a similar app that goes further than Mimo? [link] [comments]  |
