Posted: 05 Oct 2021 08:56 AM PDT I'm a rookie programmer (just landed my first post-graduation job 3 months ago). I understand languages, operating systems. I've coded in c++, java, currently I'm doing python. I've worked in linux, windows. I also understand frameworks (sort of, i've still not found a satisfactory description of the difference between a framework and a library). I've used springboot, flask etc. But... its not just like c# is just a language and that's it. Everybody I know who uses it doesn't describe themselves as a "C# developer". They always say ".net developer". I understand what google will tell you if you ask what .net is. I've also seen power point slides throughout university saying what it is. How all of microsoft software development has shared resources, blah blah blah, .net is a framework, blah blah blah, extensible, mobile, scalable, and the rest of the buzzwords. I just don't really get "what" it is. Its neither software you use? Nor is it a language. Is it a backend thing you'll rarely touch? Like a runtime environment? Maybe if you compared it to something from another language. What would be its c++ or python equivalent. [link] [comments] |
How hard is it to make 500$ a month freelancing as a web developer? Posted: 05 Oct 2021 03:40 PM PDT I thought about investing my free time in learning a skill online and make some profit from it. My question is: 1) How do I start? Where? 2) How much can I make as a beginner? 3) Any tips? [link] [comments] |
Trying to understand basic machine learning. Posted: 05 Oct 2021 08:53 PM PDT Note: Long post with a lot of code without comments (so very sorry), so no pressure to try to help with this one. Hello y'all! For a personal project I started learning about machine learning. I was able to create a 1 layer linear system that works very well (as long as the answer/pattern is simple/linear). But I started looking into more complicated things, and don't understand most of it. For the 1 layer linear system my understanding of the logic went as follows:
It worked great for this very basic data set. Here is my code for the 1 layer linear system (very very sorry for the no comments): I wrote this before looking up a guide, so the code/ideas are probably not the best (would also love feedback on this) However, I did not understand the adding more layers and how they all connected/got updated. My original understanding was that each layer reduced the amount of 'nodes' until there was 1 node, the output. I tried doing a bit of research, but I got quickly confused. My understanding:
My code is as follows (sorry again for no comments): But, it is unable to guess the correct number all the times. Sometimes it gets close, but the current issue is the updating doesn't work because the average difference over all the data gets to 0, and the weights always end up the same after every 'cycle'. Also, after more proper research I found a lot of diagrams with something like:
But I don't understand how the total number of nodes increases or how it helps. (Or how to update the weights). I also did not really understand the activation function. I tried using 'swish' activation, but I kind of randomly threw it in, without having much affect on the accuracy. Thanks in advance, sorry if the ideas/questions of this post where not articulated well (also very sorry for no comments). [link] [comments] |
What is DevOps roles in a serverless environment? Posted: 05 Oct 2021 08:10 PM PDT Is it really required? What are the skills and expertise needed for it? And also, does reducing costs are still under DevOps responsibilities or should it be on the dev team? Many thanks! [link] [comments] |
How do I set autofocus to an input that's inside a select dropdown? Posted: 05 Oct 2021 08:01 PM PDT I have an input field inside a select dropdown. I need to focus on that input box as soon as the dropdown is shown when the user clicks on it. I tried using refs, but that doesn't seem to work. I'm using antd 3.26.14 and React 16.8.6. Here is the code: ... and it goes on The useEffect for the Input ref: I've tried variations of the above useEffect, where instead of listening to changes on inputRef, I've listened to the change when the dropdown gets loaded. Neither of them worked though. Any help here will be much appreciated... [link] [comments] |
Is there a way for Java to “read” a screen? Posted: 05 Oct 2021 07:50 PM PDT I'm trying to get a Java robot to automatically solve sudoku puzzles from randomly generated boards, but I don't know a way for it to find the numbers already filled in. I tried using robot.getPixelColor, but the board is too big to write an individual pixel call for each. [link] [comments] |
How to convert .java to .class in Textpad 8? Posted: 05 Oct 2021 06:12 PM PDT Hi! I have been using Textpad for my into to java course at school. However, I have fallen a bit behind and need to work at home. However, the keyboard shortcuts we used at school (ctrl 1 and 2) to convert and run java files do not work on my version. Does anyone know what the correct way to do this is? I have tired checking their forums, but the search is dreadful. [link] [comments] |
A few questions to developers who work with low-level languages like C++ Posted: 05 Oct 2021 06:11 PM PDT I've worked with Java and React doing some fullstack dev. I've been more and more curious by low-level programming but I have not gotten into it yet.

Windows Architecture: Can program windows know when they have focus? Posted: 05 Oct 2021 01:34 PM PDT Hi, I'm just doing some brain storming. Would anyone mind giving me feedback about what I might or might not understand correctly? A long time ago, I think I heard that programs in windows can not tell that they are the "active/in focus" window. Is there any truth to that? I think this factoid came up in a discussion about why a certain behavior couldn't change. I was thinking that, for windows, this is what makes "sleeping tabs" (kind of new feature) in browsers special. Because tabs are contained in the browser's framework, the browser is able to intelligently know when a tab is not being used. Also, I read that Windows 11 has an ability to detect an app that is active, and throttle apps that are not (I'm paraphrasing.) However, it occurred to me that an app *does* know when it is trying to be shut down, so information between the OS and a program isn't entirely one-way. Edit: I know I'm going down a long road here, but if the things I've said are correct, are there other signals like this that programs can get from the OS? That's all, I just wanted to understand how things work a bit more. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
Live video streaming tech stack Posted: 05 Oct 2021 05:05 PM PDT How many people can 1 ec2 micro stream incoming video to? I am wondering how expensive is it to build a live streaming platform like twitch? How did they pay for it in the beginning? [link] [comments] |
I'm debating if I want to use fs.writeFile or fs.writeFileSync Posted: 05 Oct 2021 10:49 AM PDT Do I use fs.writeFile or fs.writeFileSync for big json files I noticed that people use fs.writeFileSync because it saves faster, what are the differences? and which one should I use? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 05 Oct 2021 04:44 PM PDT Hi. Sorry it's a bit vague so far. Imagine you have to go to a person and examine some part of their life, for a scored result. The app would prompt for questions, allow the user to record answers, refer to an ideal response and score them. Then the results would need to be passed to another database for long term storage. There would need to be a simple to use system to design the questions and scores too. What type of store would you use? Web based. Easy to be kept updated in one place, direct link to the database. Dependant on a good connection though. App based. As long as you have battery you'll have and be able to use the app. No guarantee that it's the latest version. Have to plug in somewhere to download the data. What systems should I consider learning to do something like this? There will be a lot more to it obviously, but in principle? I guess there is already something similar to purchase, there's nothing new anymore, but I'd like to try. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 05 Oct 2021 07:39 AM PDT I'm a full time software engineer, somewhere in the middle of my career (I hope). Until now, I've always used whatever keyboard my employer gave me or came with my laptop (or, currently, the keyboard my last-but-two employer gave me, but hey ho). I think the time has come for a more serious keyboard. Part of the motivation here is that I've started working in Immersed with an Occulus Quest 2. My touch typing is good, but I'm discovering that locating the home keys on a worn out old Dell keyboard is not as natural as you might hope. The time has come to actually buy a keyboard, and while I'm at it, I might as well get something good. So what's good? Are split/sculpted keyboards going to change my life? Are mechanical keyboards all they're cracked up to be? What about the wackier layouts? Are vertical keyboards really that great? Should I forget everything I know and learn to type DVORAK? If you could have one keyboard, what would it be and why? My basic requirements are that it be easy to type accurately on for long periods and easy to find the home keys by touch. But you might have other requirements I haven't even thought of. [link] [comments] |
Ending Java program with a newline Posted: 05 Oct 2021 12:30 PM PDT [Edit: solved] Hello, I'm working on an intro to Java assignment. It's a trajectory modeling program, where the user inputs the speed, and then the distance travelled at various angles is printed. Everything in my code works correctly, up until the end, where I can't seem to figure out how to use %n in order to end the program with a new line. Here's what I have: The issue I'm having is ending the program on a newline. Even though my code does what it needs to do, the automatic grader is still looking for a return at the very end. In the assignment, I'm required to do this by using %n, but I'm struggling with how exactly to do that. When I put %n at the end of my string, it prints a new line in between every printed line, rather than just at the end of the program. Thanks so much for any help! [link] [comments] |
Would a recursive loop generated within a Finite State Machine eventually overflow the stack? Posted: 05 Oct 2021 10:09 AM PDT To demonstrate this scenario, I wrote a very simplified script that's potentially problematic. Images aren't allowed in the post, but I'll post the links to my mock-script and a little visual to go with it. Script: https://imgur.com/a/gz7biRH Visual: https://imgur.com/a/aOq9w64 Basically, I'm building a Finite State Machine, where each state will be populated with relatively large variables (in comparison to the available memory on my device - Arduino Due: 512 KB). My concern is that after a sequence of function calls where I jump from one state to another, I will eventually overflow the stack (Hey that's that website name), since instances of calling functions remain open while called functions are being executed. Additionally, since these variables are stored on stack rather than heap, I can't just free up their occupied space via pointers. Is overflowing the stack like this possible? If so, how can I improve my code so that a called function would replace the calling function's position on the stack? [link] [comments] |
Best metrics (or least bad ones) to gauge programmer productivity? Posted: 05 Oct 2021 10:53 AM PDT I'm trying to get permission to allow my team to work four-day work weeks (4-8, not 4-10). This would be a huge win! The only way the CEO will let me do this, though, is if I can prove (eye roll) that productivity will stay the same or increase. That means I need to do the thing I hate and apply metrics to my developers' productivity. That's where I'd like your feedback. Companies have tried to measure programmer productivity with a thousand different metrics and all of the ones I've seen are complete bullshit. Programming is a creative process and trying to measure the productivity with LOCS or points completed or PRs merged is folly and commonly work against developer morale. So in your experience what do you think are the best metrics, or maybe the least bad (or most easily gamed) ones, for measuring productivity? [link] [comments] |

I want to code a character building app for a LARP I am a part of, how hard would this be to do? Posted: 05 Oct 2021 07:14 AM PDT Hi Everyone! I mainly work in the IT/Security part of Computer Science, however I have picked up some programming skills here and there. I am familiar with the basics and have done some Python, Java, and C++ for classes. I am part of a LARP (Live Action Roleplay) game, and thought of an idea for a program I would like to make. To describe my thoughts I would like to lay out how the rulebook works for this game. There are not exactly "classes" but there are "titles" which give you access to higher level skill lists. Everyone starts with access to all novice skills, once you acquire the apprentice warrior title you get the apprentice skills, etc etc. The requirements for each title varies, but usually comes down to requiring certain skills and having spent enough exp in certain categories. There are also racial skills that you gain as you level up, which is important to mention because some of those skills give you stats like strength, which can sometimes become a prereq for a title. How hard would it be to program a simple character builder? I assume I should use Java for this, but I am not sure what the best approach would be. I would love to talk more about this if anyone has some pointers. I am a bit of a beginner at Java, but I can teach myself some more complex topics if need be. [link] [comments] |
Has anyone in this sub tried turing.com ? If so what are the interviews like ?

Posted: 05 Oct 2021 12:24 PM PDT Hi, [link] [comments] |
Do you do your best programming in the wee hours of the morning? Posted: 04 Oct 2021 11:49 PM PDT I've been coding professionally for decades, and noticed I am many times more productive after midnight. It's easy to blame a lack of distractions, but I work from home and there's not that much of a difference. I think it has something to do with being physically exhausted making my mind work better. Who knows though. I'm wondering if that's just me or if it's common. [link] [comments] |
30-year-old CE student who wants to drop out of college and be self-taught Posted: 05 Oct 2021 10:10 AM PDT Hi! I'm 30 years old and in my second year of Computer Engineering but I'm currently in a problem. For economic reasons this year I am using it to learn web programming in a self-taught way. I really like programming and am thinking of dropping out of my (free) university to pursue programming and do personal projects. I am interested in learning MERN stack, then Rust and WebAssembly. I know that if I continue with my degree I have a chance to get into more complex (and better paying) jobs than self-taught. I also think about suspending the university to create an income of passive income (300 USD per month) via web projects to be able to continue studying. Will it be worth dropping out of Computer Engineering if I want to go into programming? Why do you think I should continue with the degree? [link] [comments] |
