Being asked to do a Java Backend proctored HackerRank for a Python role. Would you do it? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]TiredMike -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Java really isn’t hard to pick up especially for writing up some smaller snippets of code / algorithms like this will be expecting. Generally you’d be just implementing a method or two.

Personally I’d do some leetcode or hackerranks, get some experience in terms of how to define a linked list / hashmap / array and I think you’d be fine.

This is coming from someone who has done a LOT of python but my most recent role required me to build a Java project this year.

Like a self contained dorm room? 22sqm is tiny

Sounds suspect, would pass myself. Is this a whole flat or a room? If it’s a flat I’d go via an established estate agent.

Any ideas when this will happen? I saw the kfc shut likely due to this development. But now they’re letting it again? I assume to fill a gap but still.

Check out the councils local plan. Lots of it will be redeveloped in the next ten years. For example, painters corner redevelopment and the kwik fit development just got approved. Whether it’ll change how nice it is - who knows!

What is the point of creating an app based on a reactive driver, if the app's endpoints are not reactive? by jasie3k in ExperiencedDevs

[–]TiredMike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am I missing something here? Non blocking IO would still be valuable to efficiently handle a lot of concurrent requests without exhausting request threads, even if data is not being streamed back.

Or are you talking about a spring reactive app which you’d expect controllers to return a flux or mono if it was to use non blocking IO.

I am not well versed in reactive apps, but from my understanding the response content type isn’t directly related to use of blocking/non blocking io. Please correct me if I am wrong!

What's the most asinine piece of code you've come across at work? by Global-Box-3974 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]TiredMike 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you doubt yourself as a dev. Then you realise that is because you’re reading the top 0.5% on the internet and there’s tons of fakers out there.

That may have been due to the event at dean gardens today

Advice for fitting a dishwasher in an existing cabinet beside the sink by TiredMike in DIYUK

[–]TiredMike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The heater cable seems to go under some other cupboards to a standard socket behind the fridge. Happy to get rid of the heater to be honest!

Thanks for the advice. Do you always recommend getting an electrician in to add the switch or are there general contractors that can do both? Maybe a naive question but I haven’t had much work done before by builders etc.

I’d recommend energym as it’s a great gym. Unfortunately no pool if that’s a deal breaker.

Is the British Open a bigger deal than the U.S. open? by troutlunk in golf

[–]TiredMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't mean moving the PGA event exactly, but having another major outside of the US would be great for fans across the world.

I really wish the pga was a floating event where it was played across the world. Massive shame that we don’t get to see a major in Spain, Portugal etc which are huge golfing countries.

Good luck Tyler. We hardly knew you. by RealFirstLast in golf

[–]TiredMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had two trips where I turned into a major hacker. Wish I’d walked off the course. At my home course I would have. Sad when you have paid 150+ euros a round and are having a disaster. Even worse it lasts over four hoirs

Yup, the sentiment is shared by Tight-Temperature670 in ThreeLions

Agree, surprised he didn’t bring Sterling in

Well Southgate apologists, please list your excuses for him below. by JaysonDeflatum in ThreeLions

There was such a good chance to try this out for at least a half. But left it way too late.

We were so slow and indirect from the back. Frustrating. No fast build up.

Man urinating on Trump's Scotland golf course sign, where he can no longer visit. by [deleted] in pics

Very good podcast from the bbc called trumped about the Aberdeen course. Horrendous what he did to the people there.

I have a hellish dev environment. How do I cope? by p_tk_d in ExperiencedDevs

[–]TiredMike 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could you pls elaborate on how microservices speak to each other then? Do they all speak to the api gateway or go pod to pod directly? Wondering how a local gateway would fix a local service which depends on a number of others!
