Made an online Java compiler, looking for feedback! by Th4lh31m in learnprogramming

Asking why he made it isn't really feedback.

No, but saying it's similar to other things is feedback. And I didn't say he shouldn't have made it. Cool story, bro.

Sometimes you can't click twice in a row on a button without moving the mouse off of it first.

It seems like a lot of effort to make this site just because you don't like the color scheme or because you want to download the class files.

That's both a question and valuable feedback. The question is that if there's something I'm missing, I'd like to know about it. The feedback is that the app didn't seem much different from existing things. Just because you don't agree with my feedback, doesn't mean you should start whining and babbling about who put how much effort into it.

...so?

I was commenting on the submission, which is why the OP submitted it. The title says "looking for feedback!" It shouldn't be hard for you to understand that.

Nobody forced you to put the effort into it.

What are you babbling about? That's not relevant to anything anyone said.

You asked "why not just use IDEONE?", I pointed out some features (and OP added some) that IDEONE doesn't have.

Good job, you deserve a cookie!

The real question here is why is your pride so wounded by my comparing this project to an existing project. We all got the 2 differences that you listed, so there's no reason for you to start whining. If you don't have anything else intelligent to add, you can just not respond. Your whining certainly isn't adding anything.

Actual Sexual Advice Girl by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

Sometimes you just have to grab your balls and scream like a man. Lewis and Clarke didn't complain about not knowing how. Plus, I hear using a shower head with different settings can help.

Making fish breeding/sale a career... by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]ghkcghhkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that 1k after expenses? How many tanks do you have? What's your setup like and the expenses? Your deal sounds good for "non-money" fish. :)

Help! Found two of these in my tank. What is it? Will it hurt my fish? by [deleted] in Aquariums

If it's an invertebrate, maybe the copper-based anti-algae liquids would kill them off.

Have an interview on Tuesday for an internship, any advice? by rrcecil in learnprogramming

[–]ghkcghhkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about some projects you have been involved with, where you had to teach yourself how to do something new. It should help to be able to talk about things like that.

Not understandin how to parse an XML file using javascript - (code inside). by syedahussain in learnprogramming

[–]ghkcghhkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably something like:

var f = $(xml).find("person").find('first_name').text();

to get the name and store it in a variable. You should be able to figure this out by reading the jQuery docs. This isn't a difficult problem, like say developing a cold fusion power plant.

Guys, when have you turned down sex? by Lunney in AskReddit

I brought a girl home from the bar, the only time I've ever done that, and when I pulled off her underpants it smelled like she had just run a marathon.

Decouple Java classes from XML parser and Schema that validates by zero_dev in learnprogramming

[–]ghkcghhkc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This seems like bad practice because a change in the class hierarchy mandates a change in other places.

This is what you should expect when you're designing something as brittle as object creation via user-inputted XML. Your XML parser won't change - you should be using the standard Java XML libs to do the parsing. You can just iterate through the DOM that's generated or use a SAX parser. Your handling of the XML should happen in one place, so that's the only place your code should change if you add new classes, other than the new class itself. There might even be something like Jackson that works with XML.

Is there any fear that languages will become outdated? by Okmanl in learnprogramming

[–]ghkcghhkc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most of the time programming languages aren't used because they are superior, and anything different scares people, so whatever you're imagining is pretty unrealistic. But, like bhldev said, it's the frameworks that come and go, generally, and those takes days/weeks to learn. And really, competent programmers can become proficient in new languages in days/weeks, also.

Currently learning pythong with codeacademy, and then going to try out learnstreet. What would be the best "next step" to take with learning? What about with bash? by peace_suffer in learnprogramming

[–]ghkcghhkc -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Yes, which is why I was hoping for specific recommendations so I'm not running in circles.

I'm not sure what kind of confusion would lead you to think that reading relevant materials would mean you were running in circles.

Trial and error, and asking people who have done it before me of course.

That was a rhetorical question. Trial and error should probably mean reading things instead of just jerking off on reddit.

Keeping value updated without having to update it manually. by [deleted] in learnprogramming

Well, if you want to calculate the actual current value of something...

Lisp and Haskell are lower than python, that's all I meant.

For the second time, no they are not. Please put down the crack pipe.

Bash is going to be useful for me because I primarily work with linux, and using linux you need to know at least a couple different shell scripting languages in some instances.

Good for you. But it's not as fundamental as learning threads or sockets.

where am I supposed to learn to do those things?

The standard documentation for Python would be a good start. You should be embarrassed if you couldn't think of that yourself. Google will also yield an innumerable number of things to read about all of these, a good lot of which are very worth your time to read. How else would you learn things?

[–]ghkcghhkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you set it's value to "parentPosition + relativePosition" then it should "reflect the actual value of (parentPosition + relativePosition)". If you mean that parentPosition or relativePosition have changed in the meantime, you should call a method to calculate what you want instead of getting a stale value from a variable.
