Thread Rules
1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution.
2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20)
3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible.
4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks. |

I hear ya. If I notice it in myself I try to correct that attitude too hey, it's not good for anyone.
If you're truly ahead of the current teaching material then extend it as much as you can to test yourself and get a potentially deeper understanding, even if it's not required of the course.

Yeah... I honestly was just having a shitty day, I really do like that teacher and I feel bad for even having said anything now. At least it was on the Internet and not in real life... I feel stupid now but at least only people on teamliquid know ^^

I saw a nice thread on a Dutch forum about this competition: link.
Here's my attempt at translation:
(link to image, because I can't post images yet..): image
Warlight AI Challenge (the name just changed from Conquest to Warlight AI Challenge, as it's in cooperation with Warlight) is a Risk-type game, where you place troops in regions on a map, attack and eventually wipe your enemies off the face of the earth.
The AI Games (sponsored by StarApple) is a programming contest (platform) that publishes programming competitions where you write programs that play games, this time with a grand prize of 1024 euros (~1400 dollars). Other prizes are lower powers of 2 euros (e.g. 512, 256, 128 etc).
The Game
In the picture you see a world map. To start off, you give your preferences regarding starting posititions, these will receive two troops each. On the countries that aren't owned by any players, two neutral troops will be placed who will only defend.
War! Both players receive five troops each turn plus any bonusses they might have for owning any continents, and give orders that are executed in order, but randomly alternated between orders of the opponent it might happen that a transfer turns into an attack, or the troops you wanted to transfer are already dead after an enemy attack. Upon wiping the enemym you win.
Need to know
* Difficulty: easy - 20 lines of Java are enough of a base, so you'll only have to insert your own strategy - to intermediate, depending on the 'quality' of your own bot.
* Finals: Somewhere in May, make sure your bot passes the qualifying rounds that already running and gets to the top 24 (48 if there enough competitors).
* Allowed languages: C, C++ (-std=c++0x), C# (Mono 2.10.8), Java, PHP, Python and Go. Scala might come in the near future.

Tips
In the current competition, only a single map is used, which can be analysed for better results.
More troops mean higher difference needed between attacking and defending troops.
P.S. I wanted to open a new thread for this competition (like the thread linked above), but I can't make it as nice, with images and all, 'cause I'm new. If anyone else wants to, feel free to do so.

Hey, I'm a newer (<5 months) rails developer and it's finally time to work through some of my blind-spots:
What are some good resources for (all this front-end stuff):
- html/css/scss & bootstrap
- javascript
- jquery
- coffeescript?
And when I say good resources, this is what I mean: they explain what the best code looks like, WHY it is that way, and then how to produce it
and I mean books, courses, screencasts, everything - what's worked for you, or that you know of? I'm in the investigation phase right now

Other prizes are lower powers of 2 euros (e.g. 512, 256, 128 etc). Thanks for the link to this contest. Didn't know about it, and I was looking for a cool project Great first post. Welcome!! Probably gonna pull an alnighter, this is very interesting... The server code is kinda messy, also, lack of comments  But I was able to get the local server running, and now working on my bot in python (python is the way to go imo). The highest bots seem to be very optimized already. EDIT: You can join/form institutions, and the best institution gets a prize. If more people here on teamliquid are interested, we could form an institution ourselves and try to win...
Thanks,
I have just used the starterbot and have optimize my bot yet, but I am the first user of organization teamliquid . Should be fun if tehre are more teamliquid members, you need 5 to go for the price.

I have recently completed an online assessment for a job (Graduate Software Developer for an insurance company). Questions were:
1) Numerical reasoning (percentages, ratio, graphs, etc)
2) Logical reasoning (very similar to IQ tests where you get a few figures, and you have to predict the next one)
Really weird test, but I hope I have done well.

Hey I have a question about Jmeter. I started using it for a school project and was just curious:
With Jmeter, can the bottleneck to your test results be your computer or network traffic? Say you make 500 requests in 50 seconds. What if the server can respond to all the requests but jmeter takes time to process them all? Doesn't that make your computer the bottleneck? If 500 actual users tested your server they might not see any problems whereas you would?

What worked for me was getting into some hard projects with very basic initial knowledge. I've had to check tons of examples and do a lot of research to make things work. That's for html/css. You just need some practice with it and then it becomes relatively easy. I'd find some reading on good page design and SEO (especially how important various html blocks are and how to utilize them) this helps a lot. Basically, the biggest leap I've made was when reading about creating pages for blind people, this puts huge emphasis on correct tag usage throughout the page to work properly with 'read the page aloud to me' software.
You shouldn't worry too much about how your html/css/js code looks like. Just make it as readable as possible and later it's all most likely going to be stripped of whitespaces and compressed so the deployed code hasn't got much to do with how it looked in the beginning.
Also, a useful tip. When working with html it's a good idea to add comments on begin and end of certain blocks/sections/divs. This makes your life much easier down the line (and I know a few back end developers who praised me greatly for doing that).

It's possible but if it were me I would want to prove it was JMeter instead of just assuming that to be the case. There are a couple different ways to do this:
Find a way to log out the server performance time of a request. You should be able to find a correlation between the results of JMeter and the server performance.
Use a tool such as AB to benchmark the same requests without processing them. If you don't process the responses and you still see a bottleneck then it's probably the server that is having problems.
Edit: How about some more info. What is the server? What are you doing on the server?

It's an EC2 server. So the load never grows too much over the server capacity for long as new instances start up automatically.
All we're doing is requesting data from the database and displaying it in a table.
Oh and logging in.

The server performance log is still going to be valuable. You mention that you see a problem, what is the problem? I think you are trivializing the problem, there is a lot that can go wrong with just logging in and selecting rows from a table. Ec2 server running what? Are you using database pooling to get to table and results? What is the size of the pool if so? What is the size of the table you are querying? what is the size of the result set you are returning? You're not locking the table right? Is the result set big enough that you need an index and you don't have one?
When running benmarks against a server, I've more often ran into the limitations of the server before limitations of the benchmark tool.

Long shot here, but I'll give it a try. I have this recaptcha code that for some reason always fails.

Anyone have experience with these?
I don't know php really at all, but the 2nd code snippet (the broken one) has the tag to end the php snippet before the curly bracket to end the if-else block. Just a guess.

Sorry, that was just a typo. I had to do some minor code editing in the actual post, and that got moved. I fixed it.

Hey, thanks! Gonna have a lot of fun with this.

Anyone have experience with these?
I got it working. I just got frustrated and copied the entire form and function and edited it from there. Honestly, I'm not sure what broke it still, but it's working now at least.

Ok, I have a bit of a problem with character encoding in C#.
I have this:
string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines (@"path\to\file");
Then I enter the loop to parse all lines and extract substrings from them that I need. The problem I'm facing is that the file is encoded in ASCII (has to be) and I'm not quite sure how to enforce this encoding on the stream I'm getting from the file (not to mention that I want to add write to file part soon and it'll have to be in ASCII too). Do I have to change it to byte[] and make it a char array? That would be very inconvenient since I'm using quite a lot of quite long strings in there (lines are ~400 characters wide) and actually very few characters in there are using non-latin letters (which I want to preserve in my strings).
Do any of you have experience with this sort of stuff?
