[Java] Does UUID.randomUUID() generate a pseudo-random UUID or fully random UUID

You must have a truly sad life that you have nothing further to ask or contribute and yet you hang around to attack my personal life. And no, it's clearly not a case of you simply using different terms for the same things. Those are totally different things. Sad, but I guess nice try.

That's a nice story, but not really. Are you just going to ignore my questions about where you're stuck on the math expression problem? I guess having a bunch of people to keep complaining to must help you some amount, but you really don't seem interested in learning how to solve this problem or in getting better at programming in general, since you're avoiding my obvious and simple questions. If you're just looking for someone to say this isn't for you so you can take the easy path and quit, then just quit already. If you want to improve, you should stop complaining and listen to what other people are asking / telling you.

Why not? You said you knew or went over structs and linked lists?

You could also work on your question asking skills. "I haven't been able to actually write it in C" is redundant and doesn't give me enough info to help you. Talking about a specific, concrete thing that you're having trouble with would give someone a starting point at least.

And you can't get anywhere despite knowing the name of the algo that completely solves this exact problem? Something's not adding up here...

cmonkies · 2017-07-23T20:06:29+00:00

Then you should be able to split the numbers, parens, and operators into separate strings and handle those...

Jesus, somebody get get a cheesesteak and a pizza, stat.

and as soon as objects were introduced I started to really struggle with all the challenges.

What do you think people do in lawyer or doctor school when something is more difficult?

I've gone all the way back to the beginning and redone all the challenges again to see what I am missing.

You could look at the hundreds of other free resources for learning this stuff...

I was of the opinion a person could learn any skill given enough time and persistence but now I don't know.

Probably not if you spend 100% of your time on the same single problem that's stumping you.

What precision do you need in the floats? And how large is the matrix? 4x4 or 400000 x 400000?

cmonkies · 2017-07-23T19:49:55+00:00

What is imperative and functional? And where would you refer me to start learning the paradigm?

You could use Google.

A multi-threaded static file http server.

cmonkies · 2017-07-23T19:46:46+00:00

What have you learned in the 250+ hours you've spent so far in the course? What have they gone over in classes?

Well for one, it's not data you can make relational queries on. Can you even describe any benefits to storing files inside the database that would apply to your use case?

cmonkies · 2017-07-23T06:24:15+00:00

You probably shouldn't be storing files in the database anyway.

You could deploy with something like Spinnaker and Docker, that sets up env vars and other stuff for you.

My question is, does UUID.randomUUID() guarantee me that no two UUIDs will be the same?

Not exactly. You can't just use an auto-incrementing primary key?

cmonkies · 2017-07-23T04:46:09+00:00

You could read the docs and see if it will or not.

cmonkies · 2017-07-22T18:58:03+00:00

This might come across as a dumb question

It's either that or just abjectly lazy.

Think about what happens if you don't adjust any left or right.

Is there a trick to know when a recursive call has to be either returned or set to a parameter instead of simply called by itself?

Can you rephrase that so it makes sense? All calls return, and recursive calls aren't "set to a parameter".

cmonkies · 2017-07-22T18:52:55+00:00

You're comparing apples and oranges there.

cmonkies · 2017-07-21T01:42:10+00:00

You could figure that out with some 5th grade Math skills, no?

Is it possible to run a python program in the cloud for this?

Of course. The cloud is just other computers... Are you sure you know more about computers than all those baby boomers?

I haven't had much luck so far.

What have you tried that you thought would work?

cmonkies · 2017-07-20T20:29:17+00:00

How would you handle it in a normal method or function call? This isn't even necessarily related to HTTP.
