    Where to find resources to learn new languages and platforms that are geared toward experienced programmers?

    Posted: 30 Jul 2021 07:18 AM PDT

    The books, tutorials, videos and official documentation all tend to be geared toward beginners so I feel like I have to skip and skim in the interest of time. Meanwhile, the next step up often seems to already assume you know the thing... like mailing lists that discuss feature additions. It'd be nice if an abbreviated form that did the skipping and skimming for me existed but still provided a survey of the common/important things to know to use it existed.

    I remember in late college, being able to be taught a language in one sitting. Obviously, it wouldn't go into every detail and you'd use references to look up more as you used it, but when a person who knows the language teaches somebody who knows several languages, you really can communicate a working level of knowledge so quickly.

    Am I too young to start working?

    Posted: 30 Jul 2021 02:41 PM PDT

    Hi, I am 14 and half, I started working as a game developer 2 months ago, and my parents are saying I should stop.

    I learned the very basics of C# and programming in general (data types, loops, arrays etc) 3 years ago from a "gifted kids" program, but never touched it again

    A year ago, I got interested in Linux and hacking so I picked up Python and learned the basics of it, and built basic bots to troll and mess with my family.

    Then I heard about game development and was fascinated by it. So I started learning c# and Untiy. I took some courses, joined some teams (for free) to get some experience, and learning more and build a portfolio.

    2 months ago I got my first paid job, and earned 30$ from it. My parents were very proud if me, but I could see they weren't so happy about it.

    Today my mom came up to me, and said I should stop working and learning more about programming. She said she is scared I will develop bad habits, and that will affect me later.

    I really want to keep learning about programming, and keep on working as a game developer because that way I can both learn and earn money and not working outside or babysitting kids (I'm very bad with kids) and I genuinely really enjoy game developing, and solving problems. I don't want to wait 2 years until I start learning it in school, but also don't want to develop bad habits.

    What do you guys think?

    C++ IDE for Linux?

    Posted: 30 Jul 2021 03:45 PM PDT

    Hi there, I'm working on a large codebase on Linux and as a mostly Windows user, I was wondering what a good IDE (preferably free) would be for C++ code on Linux? What about a debugger UI?

    Alerts app, backend architecture difficulty

    Posted: 30 Jul 2021 02:34 PM PDT

    So I want to have an app where people can submit their city and have an alert when it reaches a certain temperature. Trying to figure out how the architecture would look for this.

    Here's my best idea, I welcome suggestions.

    One way would be a service that goes through the relational database of submitted cities, unique them and then query a weather API with those values, inserting to another db table or document db so that then has the time, city and temperature/weather. I'd then need a separate cron or scheduled service that goes through the list again, this time checking against the temperature limit the user put in and checking if the new table has exceeded that value. Then it would send an alert to that person.

    The problem I can see is that this needs to be real time, yet those scripts could take minutes to run even with just a few people.

    Is there a better way I could constantly retrieve city temperatures and send alerts based on an event of it hitting a temperature without constantly scanning the entire db every second?

    Pretty open to tech, ideally JavaScript and aws but I'd there's better tools I'm all ears.

    Thanks

    Which type of programmer should I hire?

    Posted: 30 Jul 2021 12:12 PM PDT

    Hello. I want to hire a programmer on one of those freelance websites but I'm not sure which type I need.

    I price out hardware for home decor according to a price list. I take each item's width x height and find the price that corresponds to that width x height on the list. Then I add up all the items.

    I would like a program that asks me the measurements of each item then tallies the total. At the end, I want it to ask me how much percentage I want to discount.

    Is there a specific programmer I should look for?

    Fast image processing language + library

    Posted: 30 Jul 2021 08:05 AM PDT

    Hi guys. I tried to do a research but I haven't found anything interesting. Does anyone know in which language in combination with which library image processing is really fast? Basically all I wanted to do is resize few images. Tried Golang with few libraries and its not fast enough :/

    problems and confusion with class and methods...

    Posted: 30 Jul 2021 09:27 AM PDT

    here is what i need to do...

    Write a C# application that implements a class 'Employee' with the following members. i. Six private data members 'BasicSalary', 'HRA', 'Deductions', 'Allowance', 'Insurance' and 'NetSalary' of integer data type.

    ii. A default constructor to display the message "Employee Pay Bill".

    iii. Four public methods, setMembers(), calcDed(), calcNet(), and disResult().

    1. setMembers() – set the values of BasicSalary as 2000, HRA as 200, Insurance as 100 and Allowance as 50.

      1. calcDed() – calculate and return the Deductions using the formulae "Deductions = Insurance + Allowance".
      2. calcNet() – calculate and return the NetSalary using the formulae "NetSalary = BasicSalary + HRA – Deductions".
      3. disResult() – display BasicSalary, HRA, Deductions and NetSalary

    the output should look like

    Employee Pay Bill Basic Salary = 2000 HRA = 200 Deductions = 150 Net Salary = 2050 

    it says i have 6 errors

    and this is the class Employee

    using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; namespace Final_THE_M109 { class Employee { private int BasicSalary; private int HRA; private int Deductions; private int Allowance; private int Insurance; private int NetSalary; public void setMembers(int B, int H, int A, int I) { BasicSalary = B; HRA = H; Allowance = A; Insurance = I; } public int calDed() { int Deductions = Insurance + Allowance; return Deductions; } public int calcNet() { int NetSalary = BasicSalary + HRA – Deductions; // i get a red line under the (-) and (deductions) return NetSalary } public void disResult() { Console.WriteLine("Basic Salary = ", setMembers(B)); // i also get a red line under (B) Console.WriteLine("HRA = ", setMembers(H));// a line under (H) too Console.WriteLine("Deductions = ", calDed()); Console.WriteLine("Net Salary = ", calcNet()); } } } 

    now the code for the main method

    using System; namespace QuestionTwo { class Program { public static void Main(string[] args) { Employee e = new Employee(); Console.WriteLine("Employee Pay Bill"); // it gives me a red line under every setMembers int B = 2000; e.setMembers(B); int H = 200; e.setMembers(H); int A = 50; e.setMembers(A); int I = 100; e.setMembers(I); e.disResult(); } } }

    Good Bootcamps To Join? And In Which Field?

    Posted: 30 Jul 2021 11:57 AM PDT

    Background: Hey! I am currently moving back to SF with family, and I want to join a Bootcamp and land a job in the Software field. I am currently leaning towards Full Stack Web Development, because I keep hearing how it's great for landing your first job.

    I am a beginner/intermediate programmer, I have been studying C# for Unity the passed 6-8 months part time. So I know the fundamental concepts and am familiar with using them. However I won't have much money to pay upfront (for the Bootcamp), so my only real option is to use the program (income share agreements) where I pay after I land a job.

    Thankfully I will be able to commit 3-6 months of learning because of my situation so that isn't a factor.

    My Actual Questions: Which Bootcamp should I choose considering my situation?

    Which field should I get into that would be best for me landing a first job?

    Is there any scholarships/program I can get for being considered low income and/or Latino?

    Any advice to survive the Bootcamp and advice for things I might not be considering?

    Thank you for reading until the end! I know it's a lot, but I fully understand everything is a per case bases, so I figured I would share the full situation.

    [Python] [Pandas] [Statistics] How to perform a two-way ANOVA on multiindexed DataFrame

    Posted: 30 Jul 2021 08:08 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I have data I want to perform a two-way ANOVA on. The data is stored in a multi indexed python pandas dataframe which looks like this :

    |time|6|6|18|18| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| |type|A|B|A|B| |-|-|-|-|-| ||numbers|numbers|numbers|numbers| ||...|...|...|...| ||numbers|...|...|...| |||numbers|...|...| ||||...|numbers| ||||numbers||

    ​ So four different types of column : two time points and two types (biological genotypes in my case). The numbers are experimental measurements. I want to test the influence of time point and type on the values of the measurements. I expect the measurements at time point 6 to be greater than those at time point 18.

    I have made a boxplot with this data very easily : all 4 columns plotted against the same y-axis.

    But I'm struggling with the two-way ANOVA. All of the examples I found online have differently structured data, or are not using many measurements per type.

    The closest I got was this script on github, but unfortunately the packages he used are not compatible with my version of Python.

    This package seems to be the easiest to use imo, but I don't understand how to restructure my data to use the method.

    Or if you are used to R, then this one may be more to your liking.

    Any help is appreciated, thanks !

    Need an easy way to make a tool to allow non-programmers to access their database

    Posted: 30 Jul 2021 05:42 AM PDT

    I'm really sorry if this is a stupid question

    I'm using PostgreSQL for my database.

    I'm working on a scientific project that stores data into that database.

    I'm looking for a fairly simple way to build a tool to allow the users of the project access the database

    I can't assume they know anything about SQL, but I can't assume that it's a very very small list of people.

    the main view they are going to need is mostly SQL Joins, Add them to search some of the fields and maybe perform a parametric search.

    Rebuild legacy project with Spring Boot and React.JS

    Posted: 30 Jul 2021 09:18 AM PDT

    Hey there,

    sadly my university still only teaches Servlets and .jsp as far as Java web development is concerned. I've got a pretty solid web project using these and want to catch up with more modern stuff by rebuilding it with Spring Boot and React.JS.

    I've got a few noob questions though:

    1. The old servlet/jsp workflow is pretty straightforward: Form on jsp that calls the servlet, then dispatch the request to another jsp. "jsp/servlet request ping pong". When using Spring Boot and React.JS I have to build two seperate apps that are connected using HTTP calls, right?
    2. I know that i can run a Spring Boot app directly as a jar as long as a JRE is installed, as the web server is already embedded. I plan to run my project on a raspberry pi. Can I run the React.JS App similarly, can I embed it in my Spring Boot project?
    3. I know I lack quite a bit knowledge as far as Java EE/Jakarta EE is concerned. What "buzzwords" do I need to be familiar before starting to really get into Spring Boot? I have only worked with Servlets, JSPs and JDBC, I have not yet used controllers, MVC and stuff. My problem is that i don't even know which concepts are still relevant to learn that will help me at learning Spring Boot.

    Any help is welcome. I really tried to get into it, but as I am just starting I am overwhelmed by all the buzzwords that get thrown at me as I am using Google.

    Have a nice day!

    Do you write (or have project) documentation?

    Posted: 30 Jul 2021 04:19 AM PDT

    Basically question is in title. I am wondering how much is project documentation written and how important it is in companies. I am less interested about code comments, and more about "guidelines" how to build, setup, deploy, even use software. How detailed is it ? Do you create UML diagrams?

    To give better example, you have just finished version 1.0.0 of some microservice that is talking to XY other microservices and has XY possible configurations inside depending on what "user" whishes to do with it. What documentation would you write (or have written already) at this point?

    Don't know if I should try to read all the data I need from the database In one go or do a multiple purposeful reads

    Posted: 30 Jul 2021 01:48 AM PDT

    Hi,

    I am writing an API and when the request comes I need to call another API, but to call it I need to provide some data from my database, later when I get answer from the external API, I need to enrich that answer with the data from the database. I can read in one go both the data that I need for the external request and for the subsequent enriching (if the response is success) or I could first read only the data that I need in order to make an external request, then call external API and the if the response is success, read database again for additional data.

    I think from the clear code perspective, multiple reads approach is better, as you get only what you need and the flow of the program is clear. On the other hand I heard how less you call the database, the better it is. But then I get a bigger chunk of data some of them you may not need (if the external API request was not successfull) and also the code becomes less clear.

    What whould be your advice? Any books recommendations that answer this? Thanks.
