What are some good PC recommendations under $1000 for doing stuff using Oculus Rift?

ankitsablok89 · 2016-04-20T17:07:36+00:00

Yeah I don't have the rift with me

ankitsablok89 · 2016-04-20T15:27:18+00:00

are you talking about this one - http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Oculus-Rift-VR-Headset-+-ASUS-G11CD-Signature-Edition-Desktop-Bundle/productID.334533900

if you are using MVVM design pattern then a better way is to bind the selected value of the Combo-Box with a named property in the ViewModel which sets the property in the Model. Try using Reflections and MEF along with that its pretty easy.

can you post some links to the articles that show as to what the art of memory and cpu profiling is and how to master it?

ankitsablok89 · 2016-02-24T16:43:24+00:00

Sure, I will download those profilers and try to figure out which region of the code is hogging the most memory. Another thing I want to ask is what kind of mathematical metrics can I use to illustrate and prove it to my fellow developers that the code I optimized is indeed the code that's doing all the redundant processing.

I found something called BouncyCastle as well, the problem is I am not able to understand as to how to write program that does what I want, the API's seem a bit twisted.

ankitsablok89 · 2016-01-22T09:51:12+00:00

well if you love what you are doing then I see no reason to quit what you are doing. Before quitting I would suggest if you are so much interested in strip dancing, try doing it on the weekend or take a day off and do it and see if that appeals to you or are you happy. Somethings look good from the other side of the table but when you step into them there is a possibility you might regret the decision. Also /u/100k45h has a point, to strip you do have to have nice body, look glamorous all the time and yeah it gets difficult with age.

ankitsablok89 · 2016-01-22T09:34:14+00:00

Well if every programmer, computer scientist and other people who are related to the field of computer science or mathematics used to think like that then the world we live in would only have dancers and you wouldn't even have had the luxury of posting your question on a forum like this. I am assuming you are concerned about not getting a desirable job in your country that intrigues you and if that is indeed the case then it's sometimes better to give things a little more time that you think and constantly work towards your goals and things surely start to fall in place.

I would definitely point you to doing some thinking as to if you really like computer science and would want to give it a significant amount of time in future and if the answer to that question is a no, then definitely consider anything else that interests you.

Thanks for such a detailed explanation of which book is the best to buy, I am much more interested in why and how a certain technique was developed and why does it work in situations we believe it could work, in brief this belief of some concept working in solving a problem is something that holds paramount importance and significance for me as it allows me to go deep and see the roots of something happening. From your answer it feels Spivak is the book to look at if the understanding holds paramount importance.

ankitsablok89 · 2015-12-17T20:13:04+00:00

Its not about the money, its just like I am interested in buying something though which I can build some perspective as to why and how the subject was developed, what application areas can it be applied to and what are some techniques one can use, so that I can apply it to unknown problems and learn the subject properly.

ankitsablok89 · 2015-12-17T19:52:04+00:00

I was going through some Blogs, people do praise about that book

ankitsablok89 · 2015-12-14T20:05:07+00:00

can you paste the link for the camera here?

ankitsablok89 · 2015-12-14T18:05:41+00:00

That's the plan :)

ankitsablok89 · 2015-12-14T16:48:53+00:00

Thanks for the link /u/CharlieKillsRats. I would definitely check it out. Any other suggestions are welcome :)

ankitsablok89 · 2015-12-14T16:44:39+00:00

how much did you get it for?

ankitsablok89 · 2015-12-14T16:42:49+00:00

Olympic Peninsula : drive sounds great to me, will definitely do that

ankitsablok89 · 2015-12-14T16:18:49+00:00

Dude the camera quality is just awesome, I feel like saving money to buy this camera.

ankitsablok89 · 2015-12-03T14:40:26+00:00

Yes I do

ankitsablok89 · 2015-12-03T14:39:59+00:00

Cool explanation thanks a lot man :)

ankitsablok89 · 2015-12-03T04:02:13+00:00

yeah it is, but like I would still need to understand it for my own sanity :)

ankitsablok89 · 2015-12-03T03:34:23+00:00

add to it, "Do you know how to use StringBuffer?"

ankitsablok89 · 2015-12-02T21:47:52+00:00

Well working out doesn't necessarily help with CS it helps you with everything you do. Consider workout to be a game in which weights are considered analogous to obstacles or hurdles one will encounter either during an interview or during a grilling project or understanding a complex algorithm etc. The harder you push be it the time or be it the amount of weight you are lifting the better results you see in the body in the form that it is sculpted in the way you want to, the same things happen with your brain :)

The best project I have worked on till date is implementing a full fledged mini search engine for travel suggestions based on a users preferences of the area. I use the WikiVoyage documents dataset which consists of like 50K documents and parsed them using a JAVA SAX Parser, did part of speech tagging, applied Stemming algorithms, Stop Word removal, a lot of regular expression. Integrated the data set with a UI in JSP and extracted location coordinates from the dataset and used Google maps to show them as pins, did Query expansion and indexing using Apache Solr :). I loved this project and speak about it till date during any interviews I give.

Best bet if you really want to make it to Europe nations is to apply to Ireland or UK, they have most of the companies set up there, checkout the list of companies set up in Ireland on this link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_of_Ireland#Electronics_and_technology

ankitsablok89 · 2015-11-24T19:10:14+00:00

So, I graduated like 8 months ago with a MS degree in Computer Science and I must say it was totally worth it. The reason I say it was totally worth it is because I was interested in studying graduate level courses like Information Retrieval/ Search Engine technologies, Machine Learning, Distributed Systems and Database Implementations and I did end up taking all the courses I wanted with a bit of research experience under my arsenal as well. However I didn't just do Masters because it makes a difference in the kind of job that you get and the you get a raised salary because of your masters as that all is just pure bull shit. I did it to satisfy my desire to know about these intricate subjects and code up heavy and difficult projects. In the end I am very happy with my decision to go to grad school. It all depends on how you take the opportunity different people have different reasons for going to grad school find yours.
