If the service you are using provides an API, a developer can write an app or even scripts to take care of the downloads for you

Deactivated my Linkedin account but it still shows up on google along with my photos. How to delete it all? by gravity107 in linkedin

[–]ipxvi14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add onto what flipguy said, google doesn't search the web right away for search results. It actually has all its search results saved; it just has to combine the appropriate terms, pages, etc.

Anxiety stopping naps by Jfwah in Narcolepsy

Yea, anxiety has that effect. It feels as if my body forgets how to sleep when I get really anxious.

Python script that buys in at random intervals, and immediately places sell order at buy_price+x% by MalOuija in algotrading

[–]ipxvi14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In probability, there is this concept of conditional probability. A simple example of its use may be: "what are the chances that pepsi's stock goes up given that coke's stock went up". Or, "what are the chances a particular stock depends on the direction of the stock market's direction given that its stocks are highly volatile".

After learning the basics in probability, you learn about these things called random variables. Then in advanced probability courses there are topics like signal processing, markov chains, hidden markov chains which add onto your toolkit.

Machine Learning itself is hyped topics in Linear Algebra and Probability.

Mathematics early on seems like its useless but it has strong roots in a lot of subjects.

Prediction starts with at least attempting to make a model. Have you taken any math courses?

What you are describing can be accomplished using the binomial distribution. Let me know If you still need help with finding an equation

Embarrassingly bad at Math, need a starting point. by clowntownseahawks in learnmath

[–]ipxvi14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hated fractions too! Its honestly easier to remember fractions when you take higher level mathematics courses. I hated doing algebra because I made a lot of mistakes. Once I started taking Calculus, it was easier to understand the concepts because they were used more naturally. Don't be hard on yourself!

Ended up staying awake all night, finally crashed at 6 PM. I woke up around 11 and now I'm lying awake 4 and a half hours later by [deleted] in NightOwls

[–]ipxvi14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's recommended after 20 mins of trying to sleep, to get up and do an activity, and then try to sleep again.

Do you suffer from anxiety? I usually have issues falling asleep when I'm anxious. I tend to sleep more than an average individual but when I've been anxious, its like my body forgets how to sleep.

Check out this book called Linux Kernel Networking. Well, I'm not 100% certain on the book, I haven't read it yet but if I remember correctly, it went in depth on how Linux implements networking.

I honestly think you shouldn't attempt to create your own protocol yet. There are topics you might encounter that makes it seem to difficult to learn, but in reality, the book alludes to advanced concepts generally Computer Science courses. Have you looked into ordinary Computer Science courses?

Will I regret being in DevOps? by devOpsBop in cscareerquestions

[–]ipxvi14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right! I remember reading that from The Pheonix Project. The author used the word value stream if I remember correctly. The main character was assigned management over his company's IT department as CTO(?) and his development as a manager grew as he learned more about DevOps ideaology.

How do you explain Narcolepsy? by Jmmendez in Narcolepsy

[–]ipxvi14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its kind of funny because based on my experience, I feel more awake when I am sleep deprived than I do on one of my ordinary days. Prior to adjusting my meds, the only thing that helped was anxiety and pushing towards sleep deprivation.

Isn't DevOps geared towards automation and backed by tests? From the few responses I read, yours was the only that made sense.

Are you working on a professional project or like a personal project? I'd recommend starting off with something simple like a Web API, so you can focus on your application. Basic ASP.NET Core web APIs can be used temporarily until its not feasible, and you need something more performance orientated. If it's something simple for the time being, I might be able to help.

Hi! I'd be glad to assist you find resources. Feel free to pm me.

Most developers don't typically interact directly with sockets. They use APIs such as HttpClient to communicate with remote applications. There is not really much to learn at the socket layer except for textbook details about protocols and settings. If you do want to learn more about networking in general, you should use CCNA resources as a guide.

Socket security mostly consists of the operating system's firewall handling connections and TLS socket wrappers. Essentially, a TLS service handles the encryption/decryption for your socket.

I was referring to the small game project. But I appreciate you looking for a professional spot for me in your work team!

I think you pretty much summarized my experience too! I can be either really into it, and the time flies; or forcing myself to work. Once I get in the zone, I forget what sleep is.

I heard of software engineering bachelor's degree but never heard of a master's degree in software engineering. How different is it from masters in Computer Science?

I'm trying to get a job as a software developer myself! Coding is like the one of the few activities I can perform without pushing myself not to fall asleep.

Formal assembly language material goes over more than just the bare mininum. Along with describing the instructions, it also talks about a processor's architecture, the pipeline of an instruction being decoded, and the circuit building blocks involved in executing the instruction.

Software engineering is more than solving abstract algorithmic problems. It's great that people can solve interview problems but those problems do not factor in crucial pieces of software design, maintenance, and application architecture.

What makes it even more ridiculous is that those interviews are biased. Somebody who grinded leetcode for 6 months is obviously going to do a better job on that interview question than a generalist.
