    Advent Of Code 2021 has started learn programming


    Advent Of Code 2021 has started

    Posted: 30 Nov 2021 11:17 PM PST

    To everybody who wants to have some practice and challenge:

    This years "Advent Of Code" has commenced. It offers daily puzzles until the 25th December.

    The puzzles are always 2 part where the second part is revealed after the first part has been solved.

    The puzzles can be done in any programming language.

    Every day at 00:00 EST (06:00 CET) the new puzzle is unlocked.

    /r/adventofcode exists as sister subreddit to the site and for help and ideas.

    Have fun and happy coding!

    Edit: I have created a private leaderboard that can be used for this subreddit - code 109809-64f869a6

    Can I say "I am not able to do this, it's too difficult for me"?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 12:33 AM PST

    So I join a company, straight out from college. Had basic understanding of NodeJs and ReactJs. I joined 1 month back.

    Now, I am assigned to a project, where I have to convert a pre-existing production Java(never worked on java) code into NodeJs using typescript (never worked on TS).

    And the code that I have to convert is gRPC client (also completely new for me)with all security and other stuff. Main problem is no-one else is working on it with me. I am only one that have to complete it.

    Are they expecting a lot or this is normal amount of work for freshers. I am trying my best to understand existing code and make a sense of it,but can't understand shit. Also, tutorials for gRPC are rare

    Is there a fun coding podcast I could listen to at work?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 09:06 PM PST

    I'm basically spending 12 hours a day doing menial labor. I'm wondering if there's a good audiobook or podcast that could help introduce me to the broadest concepts so that it will be easier for me to study later when I get home. Obviously my mind will be too distracted for anything so complex as mathematics and syntax, but maybe I can find a way to absorb lots of crucial contextual background stuff, right?

    Questions like: What are some of the most common paradigms and why are they so useful? What are some interesting anecdotes behind that "O" notation stuff and calculating overhead? What's the history behind this weird slang term that all the programming languages use for some reason?

    Maybe even just a "history of programming" would help me. That would put everything into a narrative that my wandering brain could latch onto.

    I guess the reason I brought this up (besides the having no time to learn at work thing) is that whenever I do get to sit down and study, I'm constantly getting distracted with questions like "Wait, why on earth is this called that? Is this thing important? How do these files go together anyway? Is this something that would even be useful for my passion project, or am I just wasting my time on this? What the heck is a floating point number and when should I use it over a 'double' variable??" I think the ability to understand the "what" and the "why" would be hugely useful in my pursuit of "how."

    Edit: Thank you everyone for all the recommendations! Obviously it will take me awhile to find the podcast for me, so I won't be able to give any genuine feedback for awhile. 😅 But even so, the more recommendations the merrier. I'll try to collate everything into a more convenient list before I go to bed.

    Is this burnout?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 07:18 AM PST

    I spent a lot of time jumping from course to course, language to language, the same for frameworks. I feel exhausted and not patient to review the same topic. For example, I realized that I'm in tutorial hell and I gave The Odin Project a chance, in the basic javascript part I almost collapsed because I had to review everything I already knew theoretically.

    I know the basics, I understand the fundamentals of a scripting language, but when I'm making my own project I get stuck because I don't even know what to build and how to build it. Unfortunately I fell into the fairy tale of following a project in a tutorial and when I tried it alone I couldn't make it halfway.

    I apologize for the crying here, but it's just an outburst from a guy who really wants to get into the job market as a developer, but who seems to have burned out.

    Why would an experienced programmer choose to tutor vs freelance?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 02:38 AM PST

    I was wondering this lately, since I have an experienced tutor, and I figure he can make more money freelancing. What are the motivations to tutoring. He has a full time job already.

    How do I find a programming job?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 08:12 AM PST

    I'm very embarrassed to ask this, because it sounds so silly, but how do I get a programming job? I have worked in minimum wage my whole adult life, so I usually walk in the front door and hand in my resume, but I don't think I can do that for the programming world. I don't know if I am overthinking this, but I handed resumes on postings after Googling them, but I never get any replies. I am wondering if there is anything else I should be doing. Am I not getting any replies because I am self-taught, so I don't have a fancy degree or anything? I know I am capable of the work, but I feel so hopeless and distraught. For the first time in my life, I have been praised for being a capable person, but I feel like I'm fooling myself when no one wants to hire me.

    Drop out of college to learn in my own?

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 06:34 PM PST

    Had anyone done this? I'm finishing my 2nd year in college and to say I hate it would be an understatement. The idea that I have to take a bazillion of non related classes just passes me off and I end up failing classes. Also I can't stand 2 hour lectures that teach something that youtube explains in 8 minutes. Anyone dropped out that deep into college and switched to online successfully? Thanks

    How to add overlay to website images to avoid people steal digital artwork?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 09:43 AM PST

    So I want to be able to add an overlay to my images when a screenshot is triggered to avoid people stealing the artwork I put on my website. I've seen people blatantly screenshot and trace over other artist's work and sell products themselves even though it wasn't even their design to begin with.

    I use shopify as my platform and have a basic understanding of coding but I'm no expert (copypasta ftw!)

    Much of what I'm trying to achieve is basically how netflix blocks users from screencapturing videos by adding a black overlay when screenshotting.

    Is this even possible? I've tried googling for a solution, but most of the results are how to remove that black overlay instead of adding it

    I was given a project to practice at my first job, I feel lost, where do I begin? (help)

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 09:32 AM PST

    Hello, so as part of a sort of required internship, I was asked to do a project with php, jquery, html and ajax. This comes after learning through some tutorials they gave me during almost 2 weeks which used html and php (essentially a step by step tutorial). And I'm feeling completely lost and I don't even know where to begin.

    The project is quite complex but I have 2 weeks to do it. It consists of a store which keeps the registry of users, products, sales, etc. With details about each of these. I was also given how it was supposed to look in the end, with all the pop ups and details about each window, the information, etc.

    This project comes with files they gave to me to start, but I don't even know what they all do? I'm having trouble knowing what to change, where to add a new view, where to reference anything, I just know that the moment the webpage starts, it requires a user and password, so it has enough to work until that point.

    Trying to implement a minimax algorithm, really struggling to apply it.

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 11:08 AM PST

    I think understand the basic concept of minimax, it's a pretty simple algorithm but I'm really struggling to implement it. I can't even write it out step by step in pseudo code, which is weird because normally I can break things down but I feel like I've hit a solid concrete wall with this.

    I've read about it, watched videos, even looked at someone else's solution but I just can't seem to deconstruct it to pseudocode and lay out the steps.

    Any tips on getting my head round something that just won't sink in? Maybe the resources I'm using don't explain it in a way I understand, maybe algorithms are just too difficult for me, I don't know but I would like to be able to at least tackle it

    Why is this code giving the wrong answer?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 08:47 AM PST

    Problem statement:

    https://www.codechef.com/IARCSJUD/problems/LEADGAME

    Code:

    n = int(input()) max_dif = 0 x = [] for _ in range(n): a,b = tuple(map(int, input().split())) #take input of each line if abs(a-b) > max_dif: #if the lead here is more than any before max_dif = abs(a-b) #update max lead x = [a,b] #store pair if x[0] > x[1]: print(1, end = " ") #print 1 if first player had max lead else: print(2, end = " ") #print 2 if second player had max lead print(abs(x[0] - x[1])) #print lead 

    The code works for the sample input and output but when I submit this solution I get "wrong answer".

    Fetch vs. Ajax for a specific job

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 10:22 AM PST

    Hi. My chrome extension needs to obtain some objects from the back-end, and then use those objects to modify the HTML elements for the users current page. My question is will fetch methods work for this, or will AJAX be required?

    Fundamentals

    Posted: 05 Dec 2021 10:54 PM PST

    Hi!

    So many people say that it's okay to learn programming on your own and that a degree is a waste of time (in this scenario, the degree happens in a country with free education, so there are no big costs to consider). I wonder though, are there any fundamentals or basic concepts that are missing when you're learning on your own? Do self–learners make stupid mistakes that people with a degree wouldn't do? Can you differentiate between them based on their approach and practice?

    Thanks in advance!

    Help with learning code again

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 09:19 AM PST

    I have recently finished a course on games development and there we weren't really taught how to code, I had a basic understanding but since finishing the course I lost all motivation to code and forgot most of what I learnt. I'm now trying to learn again but the places I would normally go to like code academy you have to pay for now so I'm wondering if there are any sites similar or if I should do it the old fashioned way or reading books and articles online as well as watching videos on YouTube?

    First coding project for Uni and we have no idea what to do

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 06:42 AM PST

    Hi, We need to develop a web-based thesis archive for our University as a capstone project. The idea of this project is to create an online library for written academic papers.

    The problem is we don't know where and how to start because we lack the knowledge, experience and skills.

    That is why I am asking experts for some advice on how to start and develop the project. We would greatly appreciate every help we could get!

    The project is due on 15th of January and instruction is to develop back-end and front-end

    Looking for a small group/ buddy to collab in learning programming with

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 08:49 AM PST

    Title says it all!

    Little background on myself! 22 year old guy from Edmonton, Alberta in Canada. Dropped out of uni in September to pursue IT/ Computer Science. My knowledge right now is the basics of Python 3, I finished the entirety of Codecademy's Learn Python 3. I want to keep pursuing Python eventually transitioning into game development. Specifically using Godot which uses GDScript, which has been described to be very similar to Python. I'm reaching out here because I tend to work/ focus better when I'm working alongside someone else who is on the same page as me. If anyone is wanting to do the same with me just let me know! Thank you!

    I chose Java to start my career and thankfully got into a very early startup. My question is, is it a good thing to start your career from a startup or are there some downsides to it?

    current HackReactor prospect seeking advice

    Posted: 06 Dec 2021 11:43 AM PST

    Hi everyone,I'm hoping to get some feedback from people who have successfully gone through HR. I'm currently going through the final requirement of the pre-course and I'm absolutely stuck. Is this a sign that I should probably just stop? I'm not going to go into detail about what's covered since I don't want to share HR's material, but essentially I was very confident going through the stuff in the first module and felt like I was comprehending everything as I should've, for the second module it was more difficult but I was able to push through. For this 3rd module, there are two distinct exercises but I don't even have a clue of how to begin. I've only been at this for 3 or so months, but I cannot afford a deferment due to financial constraints. I have 6 days to finish up these final exercises, but I've so far spent 6hrs today and have made absolutely zero progress. In my current state if I were to somehow magically figure it out, would I even be at a sufficient level to join the program? So far I've been in recourse for almost 4 weeks. What was your experience and what recommendations would you have for me. Should I be this lost or is this a clear indication that this isn't for me? I figure the best advice can only be from someone who's successfully gone through it before. Sorry if this is all over the place, a lot of thoughts are going through my head right now.

    Just to give an idea of what I'm working on, the final two exercises are based on recursion, I've spent the last 2 days learning recursion and thought I was somewhat ok since I could solve the coding challenges, but the required projects seem to be far beyond my comprehension level.
