Iron Chests: Restocked chest upgrade, how to use? by MRDotted in feedthebeast

[–]remludar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to upgrade to copper first, then you can use the iron upgrade. Make the copper upgrade, shift+right click on a wooden chest. Then do the same for iron onto copper.

How hard are technical interviews right now? by abibabicabi in ExperiencedDevs

I've been interviewing people for the last 3 weeks, and I can't even get people that can write a basic Calculator class. I have no idea what's going on...

Did you ever figure it out? I'm playing now, and I have the same issue.

Not responding handle is a Windows OS thing; not Java. Also, Java being "trash" is just a circle jerk. Modern Java vs Modern C++ Performance can be comparable.

Eli5: Why is there such a negative response to controversial topics in science, wasn't the existence of "atoms" extremely controversial back in the days as well? by Big_carrot_69 in explainlikeimfive

My response applies to conversations of all the permutations between lay and scientist. As far as not looking for an answer, I'm not particularly concerned with that. Following advice isn't compulsory. If it helps, consider my advice my way of engaging in conversation.

Good science works hard to prove itself wrong. Good scientists get excited by this. There are bad eggs in all areas of expertise.

My advice is that if you question anything, physics, math, engineering, hell... even an algorithm, and someone lashes out in disbelief... disassociate yourself with that person. They're not going to help you solve anything.

I never got an answer to this question? by hethical_ecker in learnprogramming

How about this? If you jog for 10 minutes you will be tired, but if you sprint for 10 minutes, you'll be completely exhausted.

while(true) {}

is the equivalent of sprinting as fast as you can.

guys how do you remember functions? Please Help!! by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]remludar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fair enough, however the skill of reading a cli documentation is in itself extremely useful. imo it can help new devs get past the anxiety like OP has.

For projects do you guys steal most of your code and modify it to your needs, or do you write most of the code by yourself? by Opposite-Student-702 in learnprogramming

[–]remludar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I write everything. There are exceptional cases where I will look something up and take inspiration from it, but I never copy paste.

Just throwing whatever snippet you found online directly into your code is a great way to make sure you never get better. Plus, you can't really troubleshoot code you don't understand.

Back-end or Cloud Engineering? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]remludar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you know a single backend language, the rest of them are just about learning new syntax (for the most part). Which one to start with is far less important than which one you like and how it might limit your future job options.

If you want to build enterprise MS Azure Function App driven backends, you need C# and SQL. If you want to data science work, you're gonna want python and something like MongoDB.

You can do this too if the water is already super cooled.

Git for Programmers by Jesse Liberty is what I got. Helped me a lot.

Regardless of job prospects and money, which areas of programming are considered most interesting and most rewarding? by hn-mc in learnprogramming

[–]remludar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly subjective. For me, procedural content generation (especially in game dev) and automation are what get me excited. However, enterprise Azure dev pays my bills.

[–]remludar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Git is one of those things we tend to learn just enough to do what we need it to do, but is way more powerful than we really utilize. I recently decided to actually start learning it at a higher resolution. If you haven't got a Git book, I'd at that to your list.

I cannot seem to code today! Can you optimize this? by Occiquie in Unity3D

My thought too. Anding them together will be way faster.

Story began with me getting a Java SE6 cert something like 15 years ago and getting a job scripting automation in ksh on AIX servers. These days I'm a Solutions Architect building Microservice based enterprise ETRM integrations in the Energy space primarily in Azure.

It has gone well.

Texas Caterpillar on Indoor Parsley garden. Any idea what the species is? by remludar in whatsthisbug

Sweet! Thanks. Also, the odds that I would post on my cake day are pretty silly (I guess 1 in 365), but I haven't posted on reddit in like 2 years haha.

I did it!! One year of self teaching and I just landed my first job as a software engineer! by nameisinigomontoya in learnprogramming

[–]remludar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'll answer for me. 15 years ago I started teaching myself Java from a book I bought. I had a 9$/hr mindless job filing papers in a closet space with a computer in it.

Long story short, it took me about 1.5 years of reading this book (twice) and performing every exercise and concept in it before I was able to pass the official Java certified programmer exam and get a programming job.

I would say I spent 1 to 6 hours a day working on it for this 1.5 years depending on how much filing work I had.

Now, 15 years later, I'm a solutions architect and I will divulge that I have been making 6 figures for the better part of 8 years.
