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. |
Normally I would take things that Michael Church says with a huge grain of salt, but I actually agree with most of his main points there. If your aim to go to a startup is to make lots of money, it is on average a losing gamble.

Ah really? I'd always heard that by working in a startup vs a larger company, you get more exposure to more technologies and tasks, as opposed to being a small gear in a big machine and whatnot. It definitely makes sense that it'll be harder for people working in startups to find time to mentor/provide instruction as much though. And yeah I'm really excited! ... Larger companies have their established technologies and introducing new technologies or methods is a long process at the end of which there is already a newer, better method or technology available, so you have to work with ancient code that went through a dozen hands, but since larger companies are usually under less financial pressure, the need to get it done yesterday is lower and you can take your time and try to write your code properly, just like the 12 people that worked on the code before you and all thought they wrote it properly - from their point of view.
Just like startups, larger companies also vary quite a lot. Some are more keen on using more cutting edge technology (some are more keen on actually making said cutting edge technology and then using it), some are exactly what you describe. For example I can't even use java8 yet at work, still stuck on 7 (AND IT MAKES ME WANT TO STAB SOMEONE GRAHHHHH).

Also, larger companies are usually 9-5 with little risk of overtime, startups can be 9-9 every day because you have to get stuff out of the door quickly so the company starts to make money.
Again, this is usually the case, but not always. For example Amazon is not a small company, but get into a few oncall shifts as a developer on a less-than-solid team and 9-5 won't be your day :\

Ahh I see Morfildur, thanks! That does make a lot of sense, and I'm definitely looking forward to getting to work, as harrowing as it might sound haha. Long days of writing crazy amounts of code definitely sounds pretty interesting and exciting (until it isn't, but in general it sounds fun). Think more in terms of looking at code for hours trying to figure out how could someone possibly mess this up so much... And then figure out it's your own code from a couple of months back? :D
This. All the time

Since we seem to be talking about careers, is anybody else there a uni student struggling to find summer jobs/internships?
I've realized how important extra-curricular projects are. I'm trying to graduate early so I've been overloading and concentrating on my academics at the expense of having time to pursue side projects. My GPA and school transcript are pretty good but all the employers and recruiters I've talked to want to see more side projects.
Also, some companies post ridiculous requirements for internship level jobs. Example:
+ Show Spoiler +Required Skills
Proficiency in C/C++ and strong scripting skills in at least one common language (Python, Perl, Shell).
Familiarity with National Instrument Testing Software (LabView, TestStand, VeriStand).
Experience designing and developing complex power electronics control systems including AC-DC and DC-DC converter topologies.
Experience designing real-time embedded systems in C.
Experience with CAN bus systems and associated tools.
Familiarity with automotive ECUs, especially those in hybrid and electric powertrains.
Experience with FPGA/CPLD device programming.
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and work efficiently with hardware design resources.
Capable of hands-on bring up, debug and code optimization.
Experience with DSPs, microcontrollers and realtime operating systems.
Familiarity with thermal control hardware, including compressors, pumps, and thermocouples are a plus.
Experience implementing real-time control strategies, especially PID based control development is a plus.
Familiarity with Vector analysis tools is a plus.
Prior AUTOSAR or other automotive RTOS embedded programming experience is a plus.
Is it realistic for a company to expect a student applying for an internship to have that much specialized knowledge?

Wow this is fucking huge. On the other hand, 75% of this is basically what you always will see. When I graduated, I had the following stuff among these:
Proficiency in C/C++ and strong scripting skills in at least one common language (Python, Perl, Shell).
Experience designing real-time embedded systems in C.
Experience with FPGA/CPLD device programming.
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and work efficiently with hardware design resources.
Capable of hands-on bring up, debug and code optimization.
Experience with/* DSPs,*/ microcontrollers and realtime operating systems.
Experience implementing real-time control strategies, especially PID based control development is a plus.
Which is ~50%ish. I had other skills that weren't listed here but resume-wise I wasn't that big of a deal either. You WILL see stupid stuff like this, but don't let it bother you.
P.S: I would apply for this. I don't think the company is looking for someone who matches all these stuff either.

Read the link a couple of posts above yours: if you can program FizzBuzz the rest will be fine. Also, unless you're looking specifically for something in embedded systems, most internship jobs won't have such strong requirements on the electrical engineering side of things. We have a place for an intern open right now. Honestly, our main requirement is that he is willing to do all the shitty programming tasks that we don't want to waste time on ourselves, but need to be done regardless (don't tell my boss I phrased it that way)! Of course, this is phrased as "an exciting opportunity to work on an industry research project shaping the technology of the future" or something equally cockamamy

Perhaps you can luck out like I did as I joined a small company that was doing websites/saas for startups (90% of our projects were for startups, 10% were highly priced software for big, established companies and government). You get all the startup perks (small and dedicated team, doing stuff from scratch instead of fixing someone elses broken code etc.) as well as established company perks (low risk, job stability etc.).

working on visualizating structure of class templates,
still buggy but some familiar ones work fine:
template<
class T,
class Allocator = std::allocator<T>
> class vector;
template<
class CharT,
class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>,
class Allocator = std::allocator<CharT>
> class basic_string;
source:
int
main()
{
std::cout
<<"\n"<<tout::to_string<std::vector<int>>()<<"\n"
<<"\n"<<tout::to_string<std::string>()<<"\n";
}
output:
std::vector<int>:
vector____________
| |
int allocator
|
int
std::string:
string______________________________________
| | |
char char_traits allocator

char char
i hope tl doesn't mess up the formatting i had to work so hard for with std::cout.
will add source when done swatting the bugs.

Dude, I'm fucking stuck at java 6. If being stuck on java 7 at work makes you stab people, this would turn you into a mass murderer already.

I'm getting some weird SQL behaviour:
// where
':value BETWEEN :firstMonth AND :lastMonth'
// dumps
value = string('o.issuedAt')
firstMonth = string('2015-02-01')
lastMonth = string('2015-08-31')
// db field value
issued_at = 2015-03-20
The query yields no results... WTF?

Does it correctly interpret :value as the field, not the string o.issuedAt?
In cases like this, the error is usually not where it appears to be.

That's cute. We have some PHP4 code that we can't get rid of and that occasionally comes back up for bugfixing or changes. I'm not touching that part of the code with a 10 foot pole.

Quick question for Javascript noob level.
I want to check if a string consists of numbers. If not I want to return false:
my shitty attempt so far
if(isNaN(thestring.value)=true){
alert("the string doesn't include numbers");
return false;
}

You are looking for parseInt

The problem was with DoctrineQueryBuilder messing up transition from DQL to SQL. Everything was fine except it somehow sent dates as 'YYYY - MM - DD' (notice the space between dashes). Took me forever to locate and fix the issue, although I'm still not entirely sure what was causing it. My current solution is to cheat a bit and simply feed it DateTime->format('Y-m-d') and encapsulate it in quotes.
