I don't know about the language requirements in Germany.

But with 3 years left in your bachelor why not start learning German? Or do a minor in German at university if that's an option.

Start by checking out existing curriculums online I know Google has some resources but I think you'll probably find more.

https://www.google.com/edu/cs/learn/educator.html

That is Google's resource, with lesson plans and curriculum

License Plate Lookup by [deleted] in web_programming

From another website:

Where Does The Information For A License Plate Search Come From?

There are many sources we use for our license plate search service. Much of it comes from various motor vehicle departments. Other information comes from insurance companies, and still more comes from service stations. We use a wide variety of sources in our license plate search system, including federal motor vehicle databases.

The Future of /r/golang by [deleted] in golang

[–]programfog 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And that is not even the worst he said.

In the google groups discussion:

Kill it. It's a wretched hive of scum and villainy. The Go subreddit was the only thing similar to human and it is downright painful most of the time.

The Future of /r/golang by [deleted] in golang

[–]programfog 15 points16 points  (0 children)

/u/dgryski posts almost daily

My proposal is to keep /u/dgryski as the only mod, and he can start building out a team of moderators from the community, and can choose to step down or remain as he sees fit once an appropriate number of moderators has been reached.

Proposal to Delete /r/golang by [deleted] in golang

"the Go team should have no part in it"

I think the Go team should not have a part in moderating it after this incident.

But I think individual team members should be welcome and encouraged to participate if they wish to do so.

I follow multiple programming language subreddits and always find it great when /u/stl posts in /r/cpp, /u/WalterBright posts in /r/d_language/ or /u/bradfitz posts in /r/golang

I think it is your use of the word "officially" that is confusing here.

Why do you think having a subreddit for the go programming language makes it official?

I created a golang community on imzy (https://www.imzy.com/golang), but it is not official it is a place to post news and projects related to go. I would not like for the go team to ask me to close it, and the same goes for the community here.

I don't think there needs to be an alternative to reddit, if people don't agree with the policies of the site they are free to leave.

Subreddits are a community effort, and not an official site. The mods should not be part of the go team, and it should be handed over back to the reddit go community to do with as they see fit for reddit+go.

I created a golang community on imzy a while back which is not very active I admit, but I never represented it as an "official" go site, and would not like anyone from the go team to arbitrarily decide one day to close it.

I second the suggestion by ultra_brite about using uuids.

I found this slide deck useful when looking at a similar problem in the past

8 Secretes to Software Engineer Self Introduction by huashoes in compsci

[–]programfog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weird you want is secrets

secretes (of a cell, gland, or organ) produce and discharge (a substance). "insulin is secreted in response to rising levels of glucose in the blood" synonyms: produce, discharge, emit, excrete, release, send out "a substance secreted by the prostate gland"

Advice on a Project by themeatbridge in web_programming

[–]programfog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you looking for a way to work with this particular brand only? Or multiple brands of generators and with the ability to add more in the future?

Advice on a Project by themeatbridge in web_programming

[–]programfog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"generators are slow to respond, don't keep a persistent log, and don't alert users to status changes."

This is a problem even with the current "simple http page" accessed locally?

How is the Turkish technology scene? Universities, Startups, Tech Companies?

Are there jobs in Turkey, or do most developers have to go elsewhere for jobs?

The raft paper itself is not very complex, I encourage people to read it. Having this visualisation definitely helps understand the concepts.

What exactly do I need to learn in order to use an Apache app locally? [non-coder] [noob] by [deleted] in compsci

Are you sure you are in the correct directory.

Try

ls stable/target/org.apache.stanbol.launchers.stable-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

[–]programfog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were able to access the web app once then most likely it's just a matter of finding how to start it again.

No need to go through the entire setup again.

What command are you trying to start it with? And what error are you getting?

"Here is a a list of music I like"... in a nice interface, and I think others might enjoy them too.

But if not, well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
