| | As if a headhunter would know anything about anything.  |
| | [QUOTE=abhimanipal;1205031]Not stupid ... Just less informed than you[/QUOTE] No, it's really a question of stupidity, because you'd have to have a seriously questionable understanding of what you can do with computation if you have to wonder whether programs could take input in other languages. |
 | Re: GPL own code? The people in this thread are apparently completely wrong, ignorant hicks. [b]Can I use my own code that I slapped a GPL on and provided to sourceforge in my own commercial application?[/b] Yes. [b]In that way, does the GPL somehow relinquish my own rights to my IP?[/b] No. It only …  |
| | A flat text file could have an index too. You can't be too strict about these sorts of definitions. |
| | No, that doesn't eat into the amount. |
| | Look at the source code for reading a web page, saving a text file, and copying data, and you'll have your answer. |
 | > It works if I changie the functor operator() to be const std::shared_ptr<Test>, but can't you always pass a mutable object to a function expecting a const object? Uh, yeah. And your error was that you were trying to pass a const object to a function expecting a non-const reference. |
| | Uh, what? What is a "block"? Also the output of mergesort is as big as the input, it's not half as big the way you say. |
| | Speaking of worthless contrived examples, here's mine: An [tex]O(n \log n)[/tex] algorithm: [code]for (int i = 0, e = int(n * log(n)); i < e; ++i) { printf("ho "); } [/code] How illuminating! [quote] all comparison-based sorting algorithms need at least [tex]O(n\log n)[/tex] comparisons in order to complete the sort … |

 | More specifically, one way is binary search. Given a range [low, high] in which your square root lies, you can test if the square of (low + high) / 2 is greater than the value you're square rooting or not. If it's greater, then your new range is [low, (low … |
| | > My question is, if I decide software engineering is what I want to do, will having an Oracle certification be helpful? I would assume database knowledge is useful when developing software? Knowledge of SQL (including all knowledge about making efficient databases and software that uses them) is very useful … |
| | Certainly. Certain inputs to your algorithm affect the behavior of the code's running time. An upper bound on the running time can usually be expressed by some measurement of the size of the input, either by the value itself or the number of elements or whatever. Suppose you have one … |
 | |
| | I think you misunderstand the question. What are you using the hash table for? |
 | No, certifications are worthless, especially Microsoft certifications.  |
| | Are you going to put a workload on it that uses more than 2 GB of memory? |

| | Re: Ruby on Rails Obviously you don't need to know PHP, obviously. To be any good you need to know Javasrcipt. "AJAX" isn't really a technology, it's just a way of saying you use a certain function in browsers' Javascript API. |
| | "When I grow up I want to be a webmaster!" [email]dean@deangrobler.com[/email] is pretty much ideal. It says it's the email for people who want to talk to you. [email]me@deangrobler.com[/email] would be fine too, but whatever. Using [email]dean.grobler@deangrobler.com[/email] is a great way to tell people you're infatuated with your own name. |
| | Would it be plagiarism if the code were in a tutorial written in HTML? Why do you think a video would be any different? It's as if there are people walking around without any sense of morality... |

| | Just learn to deal with Logo's syntax. |
| | A.1. It depends. A.2. It depends.  |
| | [QUOTE=sidekickin]I am a very intelligent person...[/QUOTE] Apparently not as intelligent as you think you are. |
| | There is no such thing as separation compilation. Maybe you mean [i]separate[/i] compilation. It's where you compile things separately and then link object files together. |
| | And... why don't you know how to solve this problem? Do you know what the "set number" is? What a 4-way set associative cache is? What a gigabyte is? Why do you not know how to solve this problem? |
| | Being good at designing software requires being an analytic person. It's not a completely separate trait. (There are analytic people who can be bad at designing software though, like the archetypal too-smart-for-his-own-good software developer who doesn't need to make things simple and thus doesn't know how.) There is no escape …  |
| | [QUOTE=Lightning03]Hello IT Pro's out there maybe you can help me with this. I want to know which field has more levels that can be achieved by an IT individual. I know that in Networking there are 3 levels namely CCNA, CCNP, and CCIE. But in programming, the way I see … |

| | Hook up some autonomous drone software with some facial recognition and build a flying killbot. |
| | They're all good. Since you're familiar with C# you might want to make your web app in C# using the MS MVC framework. Since you're familiar with Java, using Scala would be an excellent choice. I'd say these are your top choices. |
| | Getting linear time is impossible unless you have some hard limit on the size of the values you're sorting. If you do have such a limit, than linear time is ordinary. Your algorithm is probably not good if it is what I think it is, since it'll be full of … |
| | Same exact answer. If you want a real life example: every single piece of code I've written! |
 | |
| | With some employers the question is, "fraud or murder"? Fraud is unacceptable, of course, but murder? That could be understandable. Drug possession could be, too. It might depend on the drug. Your biggest superficial drawback is certainly your inability to put together complete sentences. As for non-superficial drawbacks, being bad … |
 | [b]1.) Are any of you Computer Software Engineers?[/b] Yes. That is, I am one. [b]2.) What do you do in your everyday job? (If Employed)[/b] Right now I work on a high performance database engine. [b]3.) What is your primary language? (VB.NET, C#, C++, etc.)[/b] I don't have a primary … |
 | You'll be lucky to get the $6.95 or whatever that you paid for it. |
| | Re: B-Tree Question > I don't think the order makes a difference, because the tree will just re-balance itself before it adds a level. Try reading how rebalancing works and then reconsider your opinion. Also your answer would be wrong regardless. |
| | Write one in Javascript, it should take no more than 15 lines. |
| | 1. Use snprintf to generate the appropriate path name. 2. Think of an appropriate data structure, that's what this exercise is all about. |

| | Companies to go for: Small companies. Companies that ask you to write code on the whiteboard in interviews. Companies that ask technical questions in basically all the interviews. Companies to avoid: Large sprawling companies. Companies that don't ask technical questions, or ask very easy ones. There's a bit of a … |
| | What parts of C do you have a hard time grasping? |
| | Uh yeah professionals copy files from one place to another... because they need them there. It's certainly a lot easier with the command line than opening up a couple of windows with the GUI, making sure they don't overlap, and navigating to the folder and dragging and dropping. Or opening … |
 | Memory limitations? What are you smoking? You're 100% wrong, there are no memory costs to OOP. |
| | Well your thesis is going to be scientifically speaking complete nonsense so maybe you should think of something else. |
| | Why are you even being asked such a question? Why are you not asked to write actual code?  |
The End.
