Why are programming salaries so much higher in the US than the UK? Posted: 04 Oct 2021 09:14 PM PDT According to this article the average salary in the US is over $110,000 while in the UK it's a little over $42,000. What is this? Does the UK not have rich tech companies? https://www.daxx.com/blog/development-trends/it-salaries-software-developer-trends [link] [comments] |
A realistic idea of how much people charge clients? Posted: 04 Oct 2021 05:03 PM PDT I have my own idea of how much my company charges clients but I'd like to see how much it differs amongst freelancers / developers.
How much realistically would you say you would give a rough quote for these? I'm not talking per hour, because you could get these all done in a day or two. [link] [comments] |
How do I document a REST API in a README file? Posted: 04 Oct 2021 08:48 PM PDT I've been experimenting with REST APIs lately. If I push the code to GH, what should the README file look like? Is there a particular standard for how this is done (such as Swagger UI) or do developers just write what they want? [link] [comments] |
Does my job sound like your job? How try your job? Posted: 04 Oct 2021 05:19 AM PDT Okay - I'm sure questions like this are frequent and boring, but hear me out. I am a CNC machinist with a love for my job. As I've learned the language (G-code) and implemented iterative improvements to a range of manufacturing processes, I am starting to believe that this line of work may have accidentally served as prep to start writing in other languages that fall under a different job description. I take pride in writing code that - both in regards to the physical environment within the equipment, and the program itself - runs cleanly, predictably, safely, and sometimes with some built-in flexibility to control for varying conditions or use cases. It has been important to me to comment clearly to future operators/users of my code, be that myself or a coworker, to help with smooth production and shortened setup times on future runs. I obsess over making things run "right" and if I see an opportunity for efficiency I can't let it go. But I also don't try to implement until I can see it all and have "proofed" it mentally before I disrupt a working process. Nesting subroutines several deep, entering and exiting them properly, assuring modal instructions are active/not when this segment is "block skipped" out or not - I have found that there is a lot to sort of "hold in mind" when building a process. So I guess my question to programmers/devs/SWEs is, does this sound like your job? Has manufacturing served as a primer for me to start seriously trying programming, to see if it is something that I could transition to. I have pictured for myself a move towards more design work - I enjoy CAD and CAM and would love being involved in a product from concept through to manufacturing. (Have time in AutoCAD but no formal training. Have been slowly learning Fusion 360 on Coursera.) But local opportunities may not allow for that at this time. I also notice, having met other people that do this work, that most do not seem to talk about the programming aspect of the job like I am now. Rare to have a crush on a programming language? Idk. I also know that my work has generated immensely more value for my employers than I will ever get a tiny piece of. Machinists get a shit deal, imo. I am not expecting to make a full career move - I have a lot invested in my current line of work and have some new responsibilities that prohibit me from upsetting my income. Maybe I'd try my hand at writing an app in my off time. I am considering making this look into programming my winter project. Are there specific languages that you would advise me to check out? Online resources? I have learned some HTML and CSS way back and enjoyed building some simple websites. Would I get laughed out if I thought I'd start with something approachable like Swift? Thanks.

Question about Multiplying Third-Order Tensors Posted: 04 Oct 2021 02:33 PM PDT I'm given a formula of a 2D matrix multiplied by a third-order tensor multiplied by another matrix, and the output is supposed to be a 1D vector of length N. I don't know how to think about this. If we have something like [AxB][CxDxE][FxG], how do we determine the output size, generally? What are the actual operations being performed? [link] [comments] |
Programming. Potential careers, where to start, and practicality? Posted: 04 Oct 2021 05:53 PM PDT Hey there. I'm currently a Junior in high school and still haven't decided on what career I want to pursue. Everyone around me already seems to have a plan set out for themselves already, and I don't want to fall farther behind than I already am. I've never really learned or known much about programming. I've neglected much of my high school years wasting away on my computer, playing games instead of thinking about my future. I still don't have a dream job, and relatively unsure in what I want to do. This brings me to my questions. What is programming exactly? What the question says. What do you do when programming an application, or developing software for different products? What does it apply to and what can it be used for? I've really only ever heard of programming from friends who have taken coding classes the school provides. The stigma surrounding programming is what drew me in as a "potential" future career, being that the market is still relatively new and in somewhat high demand. (Might be untrue) The purpose of this question is to clear up any misunderstandings I have. Where do I start, and where do I go? Where do I actually learn to program? Are there free sites/programs that teach it, or would I need to ask my peers for resources? I'm aware that there are multiple languages or platforms that programming works on, but where do I start? After I become somewhat knowledgeable, what happens after that? Practicality and relation to other careers? Is learning to program practical and useful for anything other than money? Some other things I wish to get into is engineering and game development. I'm guessing that programming has a (relatively) major part in both fields, but unsure as to exactly how. If anyone has personal experience that they would like to share, I would definitely appreciate it. [link] [comments] |
Resources on how to write a good README file Posted: 04 Oct 2021 11:47 AM PDT I've just had to write my first README, and because of the time constraints of the development, the README still ended up being one of those things I hacked together, as an afterthought, and I was not really proud of it. I am realizing writing a good README is hard because I have no idea how to do it alongside my developing, or even why I should. I want to be able to integrate README-writing into my development process. Please recommend some resources for me. I'm looking for the "classic" types of sources, ones that tend to be pithy and brilliant, revealing underlying principles and not just giving you a 10-step recipe. I can give some non-CS examples, such as "The Elements of Style" for writing, or "How to Read a Book" by Adler for reading. I can also think of a CS example, for getting into C: It's still K&R after all these years. Alternatively/additionally, if you know of a resource of this caliber for reading READMEs or writing academic papers in CS, I'd be happy if you shared those too, since they are activities closely related to writing READMEs.

Posted: 04 Oct 2021 05:03 PM PDT I have some experience in programming and I can certainly do more research on my own on how to solve the problem, but I have been out of the game for many many years and I'm unsure on how to get started. I'm just looking for a suggestion on which language to use, or any libraries that may be available. Thank you kindly! [link] [comments] |
What resources would you recommend to a programmer looking to learn about how networking works? Posted: 04 Oct 2021 04:32 PM PDT I've read several articles about FB's issues today but I don't fully understand it. That's why I'm looking to learn about the networking side of programming. What are your favorite resources on networking? [link] [comments] |
[UK] Is three months notice normal? I am a junior developer. Posted: 04 Oct 2021 06:23 AM PDT I have been with my current company for just over six months. As part of my six month review, I have been given a small pay rise (my total comp is now £27k, raising to £29k in one year's time). In addition to this, they've changed my notice period to three months. Is this usual? I'm concerned that if better opportunities come up, this may end up being a huge blocker. I did try to negotiate for a lower notice period, but there was not movement. [link] [comments] |
Can you guys help me find a visual cheat sheet for gtkmm? Posted: 04 Oct 2021 09:33 AM PDT Basically the title. The documentation is really good. I was just trying to find a cheat sheet showing pictures of the widgets. Some of them I can't understand what they are by reading the name. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 04 Oct 2021 01:10 PM PDT You guys must get this question a lot so I'm sorry in advance, but i'm curious as to how I can start coding/programming? do i download something on my computer, do i buy a course, or is it free on the internet. I just want to learn basic things. My dad gave me a book called "Power C- The High Performance C Compiler" but i think it might be outdated. Thanks in advance, you'll be helping out a high schooler looking to find his passion 😁. [link] [comments] |
How do you get real time game data programmatically? Posted: 04 Oct 2021 04:24 AM PDT I have seen applications that seem to get game data for multiplayer games in real time. An example would be something like op.gg with league of legends. I was wanting to make some sort of application that added some functionality to the new Amazon game "New World". I have a feeling that op.gg uses the riot API, and officially there is no new world api available, but even in saying that, is there a way to access game data that's being sent or received at all?

What the H is my boss asking me to do? Posted: 04 Oct 2021 07:36 AM PDT My work uses 2 week Sprint periods. We don't create or choose our tasks. Cards are assigned to us. This Sprint, my assigned tasks were kinda light. I finished my 2 weeks worth of assignments by Thursday of the first week. I'm a new python dev who started 3 months ago fresh out of college. I asked my boss if he could think of some other tasks for me, in the mean time I'll polish some old code and write test cases etc. He later walked by my cubicle to ask about something else and casually mentioned he had been thinking of something for me. It sounded like he was describing a general long term project but hadn't ironed out the details so I didn't pay it too much mind. I figured he'd add a detailed GitHub issue for it. But come stand-up this morning, I implied I was waiting for more details on this assignment and he basically implied that he'd already given me all the details he had and that it was something I could start working on. Uhh, well here's what he told me last week. Basically, we have a microservice architecture. We have 3 databases for different things, like 5 or 6 main api's, a gateway, a couple helper api's and they all talk to each other. He basically said he wanted me to create a python client to help us more easily access all our api's. Currently we just test them all with postman. He seemed to imply that similar clients already existed and I probably didn't have to do all the leg work. And to look into it. I don't really know even what he means by python "client". Like... Like a script? A desktop app? I figured a client was a specific thing in python maybe but Google suggested otherwise. Obviously I'm going to have to ask him for more details, but I'd rather not look like an idiot and at least have a small idea what the hell he was talking about in the first place. Any ideas?

Chat-application using Jabber based on phone-numbers without centralized authority Posted: 04 Oct 2021 09:02 AM PDT Hello, I have a Thai girlfriend. I want to use Jabber with her. She's loving and caring, but she's not always super intelligent as she struggles to understand things like the TCP 3-Way Handshake. Her country is in a dictatorship and we both have 2 Jabber-accounts that work fine for chatting. I would like to have a system that allows us to register our phone numbers publicly with our Jabber accounts. If for some reason, the government is able to block our Jabber account, we can just register our phone number for a new Jabber account on a new server and continue chatting. The only problem here is... how could we ever make this possible, without any centralized authority? Would a system to register your own phone number ever be possible without a centralized authority that could be banned by the local government? [link] [comments] |
Basic infrastructure for real-time client-side notifications Posted: 04 Oct 2021 08:52 AM PDT I want to implement a real-time notification for my web clients. Here's the flow:
I'm hosting my application AWS with React on the front-end, and .NET Core 3.1 on the backend. The application sits behind a load balancer, so an HTTP request may be handled by one of many different servers on the backend. I want to use SignalR, but one challenge is that client-server communication using SignalR requires the client and server to communicate on the same server. The challenge here is that the third-party vendor invokes a callback which may be handled by any server; not necessarily the same server that the client is listening. If I receive a request from the vendor, I need to proxy it back to the client's server. I know I'm not the first person to encounter this requirement in the real world. Is there a good strategy to handle this? [link] [comments] |
Posted: 04 Oct 2021 08:52 AM PDT Im a civil engineer who primarily uses civil 3D for most of my design at work. I'm trying to learn coding because I have an idea for an app that could be used within civil3D as an external app (kind of like PVcase) but i can't figure out what language i need to start with. I have some experience with Python because i was told that's good for GIS. From what I've seen in order to develop an app for Civil3D i need possibly, autolisp, .net, maybe diesel? But I'm out of my realm here. My goal is to have an app like PVCase that is just a seperate app in autoCAD. To be clear i'm not just planning on writing something simple like a small lisp routine that adds polyline lengths. This would be a complicated surface analysis and design app. I'm in the solar industry and we have to do complex grading analysis for solar arrays. It takes days to optimize the grading for these large sites (1000 Acres+) My idea would hopefully knock it down to a few hours. Can anyone help me out on where i can start? I'm willing to put in the time it takes to learn even if it's years. I love the idea of learning programming for civil engineering! Sorry if i misunderstood anything that i wrote were! I don't know what i don't know haha. [link] [comments] |
Connecting IPTV middleware with Android App Posted: 04 Oct 2021 05:01 AM PDT Hi there, I am a fresh graduate software engineer. I am working on my first project known as IPTV middleware, my role is to develop a mobile application on which I can connect IPTV middleware I don't know much about server-side development. I need some guidelines and your respected advice that how to connect the API of this IPTV middleware with the android application. Thank You [link] [comments] |
Use infrared tracking data as data input in python Posted: 04 Oct 2021 08:46 AM PDT I am trying to make an IR-controlled mouse for people with motoric disabilities. Basic Concept: Using two Infrared sensors, it will read changes in the reflection angle/shape of the infrared rays and then send those data changes to a microprocessor (Arduino). From there the Arduino will send it to the computer where it is translated to mouse movement using software (python or js) that will also control the on-screen pointer. I have a general idea for the physical build, but the software is kinda confusing. I looked up possible python libraries that I can use like pynput and Pyuserinput. Any ideas on how to transfer the infrared tracking data into a data input in python ? TLDR; A way to implement analog infrared data to a python software [link] [comments] |
Is there a VPN for port forwarding? Posted: 04 Oct 2021 08:16 AM PDT I'm doing a networking project I want to test but I have TMobile home internet which uses 5G thus no port forwarding, wonder if there's a VPN for port forwarding, like Hamachi but not needing both ends to have it. Or would just using a VPS as a middle-man be best (although that's more work for me), and if so which VPS hosts do you recommend? I've been looking into Hostinger. I wouldn't need anything too fancy. So for example I could just connect both devices to my VPS and have it act as a relay for packets. I don't have too much experience with VPS's other than for hosting game servers but shouldn't be too difficult. [link] [comments] |
Which OIDC library to use in PHP? Posted: 04 Oct 2021 02:29 AM PDT I have to implement an OIDC hybrid flow as a client and after doing some research it does not seem straightforward to find a proper library. What I found:
are there any other libraries I am missing? maybe some OAUTH2 libraries that additionally support OIDC? (since OIDC is simply a layer on top of OAUTH2) [link] [comments] |
Anyone know how to/know a good tutorial on how to connect to a remote MySQL db with React Native Posted: 04 Oct 2021 02:05 AM PDT I'm new to React Native app development, and I have a web development background. Currently, trying to self-teach myself and I've pretty much gotten the design aspect down. Now I want to connect to a remote MySQL server, and all the information I can find either seems super obscure (Stack overflow quest with 2 questions, no upvotes) or very outdated tutorials. Is this something people don't do? Anyone have any resources? [link] [comments] |
