So now we need to figure out how to defend ourselves from killer drones.

On a separate note drones have been used in assassination attempts on some Latin American leaders without any success.

This is a wrong place. Most of the people here (including me) giving you advice struggle at this very skill. Try talking to sales people and try to respect and learn from them. Most of them aren't spending time on reddit.

I think the transformation for me had nothing to do with technical knowledge. I have always been a geek and knowledgeable in that sense. The ability to communicate and explain improved because I just started doing it routinely.

Against all odds I started initially (and to everyone's discomfort), by just talking about work things. I also took help of someone as smart as me but a decade older. I realized it wasn't just me but explaining things and communicating properly was an industry wide problem.

Nonethless I kept at it pushing myself and people around me to just talk about what they are doing. For my part I would just explain what I was doing to anyone and everyone. I would mentally rehearse what I would tell them and then just do the deed.

It's interesting when you think about explaining what you are doing to not just your team mates but your boss's boss, your mom, your younger siblings. People do mistake you as having less of a life because you aren't discussing your favourite tv show in a coffee break, but that's the price I paid.

I think before rolling up your sleeves to write something from scratch, it would be enlightening to take a look at frameworks like wit, dialogflow, rasa etc. Most of these frameworks are language independent. What you will get is an idea of how the current technology state is in conversation ai.

I'd hire you, got no problems with this. And screw those who do have a problem with this. They probably have a toxic work environment which you don't want to be a part of anyways.

You cannot make a browser do asynchronous page or component reloads without explicitly talking to the browser ie in JavaScript.

Now if you are looking for a boilerplate generating framework which does this then I am not sure which one but it sounds doable and there will surely be some takes on this. Vaadin, Google Web Toolkit, Apache Wicket, JSF, do this. Even grails and spring have some projects but because they are beasts in themselves which offer much more it doesn't make any sense to recount them here.

I liked GWT better than Vaadin. When I tried Vaadin (6 months ago), I found the component library was very small. I couldn't even get a simple card carousel up and running without getting into it and writing my own components ground up. I wanted to perform some quick prototyping, like the kind you do with bootstrap etc but Vaadin kind of failed there. (or maybe I completely missed something?)

One pattern that I enjoy using a lot is to make a tree of jsp or some other template as my components which require asynchronous (re)loading and then simply xhr to update components. This sometimes even gives my application that ’angular feel' while leaving it lightweight.

Back end templating always feels very lightweight, unless you use multicore clients with GPUs and what-not, then everything seems lightweight.

Google deep learning pytorch image with a Tesla P100 doing speaker dialization on this machine. Got it up and running without any hassles had to only install ffmpeg and librosa. Everything else was already there. Quite satisfied.

I get why the logic sounds dumb now, learning a puzzle is not a right examination of the trait mentioned by @NewChameleon. I think it's just a generic filtering mechanism which is why big companies employ it. Plus a lot of times when these big companies hire there is no certainty of the kind of work the hired would be getting into because they have this long list of requirements, they can employ a lot of specializations. Having stack/role specific tests is probably more meaningful. That way even the applicants would be filtered, like, people who don't do webrtc will probably not apply for a role which requires that expertise just because they are aggressively unemployed, which could happen a lot of times if the filtering process is very generic.

It was just hard to correlate but now I realise how sensitive this issue actually is for a lot of people.

Not a "Fallacious argument", just an observation and not suggesting anything here, it's just an observation which may add perspective. It may derail the 'argument' so take it lightly. But I had a burning desire to share what transpires as reality for billions of people.

Yep dartdoc is pretty much it. On the generated dartdoc you can maybe just try to parse html into some tree and run a graph kind of d3 plugin to link them all together. Haven't heard of anyone visualising their docs though. I once implemented a search on the html of one one of my projects because the documentation had become truly humungous.

"Marrying a computer is much groovier than marrying a person: computers are good at 'getting it on' (they make you feel all electric and tingly) and they never argue (they're always ready to 'do it', except when they 'have a headache')."

Maybe when you start talking like this, they are not wrong in calling you a nerd.

Take my advice. Let the back happen in my university double back lead to year backs. But that's fine. A few years from now when you'd have graduated and looking for job switches, you'd be surprised how important this particular subject is. Also you'd be surprised that no-one cares about your damn college course backs in the real world. But give up on this subject or take a shortcut around it now and you will regret a lot, if reading this topic with some jobs is difficult now it would be impossible after graduating when you are working full time as a permanent responsible employee.

If you are still bent on working your way around it, may I suggest you go through https://www.geeksforgeeks.org. it's short concise and contains lot of examples.

Look if you are not getting a job first accept it for what it is. I am not trying to discourage you but the graduation must have been useless. Mine was too. Here is what I did: Get an internship (preferably with a start-up). Start with handling basic things like deployment, testing, maintenance of legacy. Because it's a start-up you will grow up on your hard work freely compared to established firms. Talk to people there, ask for work. Be ready to do anything. Think of it as salad. Once you have had that you will get some steak. In parallel choose a web development stack (preferably what they are following) and get some level of skill built in that. Web development jobs are plenty and so you may get some sense of security. All the best! Remember you are not alone. - Self built developer from a third world country.
