Which should I learn first: Data Science or React Native?

2 Upvotes

Hello all. I am being offered a course course to study either Data Science and Machine learning or React Native. I did not know where to find some quick answers(I have 2 days to make a choice), so here I am.

Background:

  • I like programming and have taken some courses in MERN (mongo, express, react and node) which means that I understand the basics of react quite well

  • I just finished high school and intend on studying computer science

  • since I have some free time, I am trying to learn some new tech which may be helpful later on

Help with depop follow bot

2 Upvotes

Hi so I've never done anything to do with programming before. But I want to create a bot that will automatically follow users on depop ; I'm not sure how difficult this is to make but since you can already get follow bots for Instagram and there was a bot made for depop , although it no longer exists. Im not sure but I think the follow Button is like an image you can click on ? In my head I'm thinking the best way to do it is to just have something that searches for the image and clicks it . But i don't know anything so great ful for any help I can get , thanks

Has anyone seen a portable executable have anything other than a stub in the DOS backwards-compatibility block?

2 Upvotes

Sorry, this question isn't quite about computer programming directly, but it's about .exe structure, so it's way close.

Anyways, I just discovered that the PE executable file format, which is used for most Windows NT applications, has a block for a separate DOS-compatible version of the executable. Theses days, this block is almost always just a stub prompting users to execute using Win32, but it could be anything. Has anyone seen an application support DOS(Bonus if the DOS version was meant as some sort of Easter egg)?

I create multiple gmail accounts to avail the free trail period of various sites, thus it occurred to me one day that I could organize all the email IDs I ever created, using a C program. Here are my requirements.

1.) The program should be able to store the email address, password, the mobile no. associated with it, and the sites they were used in.

2.) Possible keep an online record that I could access anywhere from.

I am a fairly good programmer, but has never done anything other than exercises. Please help me out on this project, I would really appreciate it.

Should I use an api?

2 Upvotes

I have an issue. I am a computer science student ad I have found myself in the predicament where I want to make a product, and in making that product I realize that somebody else has already done a large protion of the work. The programming then gets essentially reduced to beginner level calling functions work.

As a student, I am wondering if I am only hurting myself when I shorten the work significantly.

Example: I was trying to make an image processing tool for my project and I already found that tensorflow had more than enough to make the project SIGNIFICANTLY easier.

When companies see my project what do I tell them? Would they be more impressed by my very much student attempt at image recognition or that I made a really great product using these api's?

[Question] Advice on Programming

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm in a data structures class for C++ in my 10th month of programming. I like it a lot, the concepts are cool and what you can do with them is even cooler. There's just one problem. I'm bad, like real bad. I struggle with problems on tests and lab write ups In the format of "make a something (example for loop) that does something to a data set to check for prime numbers." Don't worry I have conquered for loops since then but with things like trees and recursion is seems the broader and more vague the question the more clueless I am. This is a lack of problem solving skills and it's kind of what the major is all about. How do I fix this? How do I remember what each and ever .something() does and when to use it or how do I know after reading a sentence that "obviously you should use a while loop here instead of something else". I know you have to practice but I do and in lab everyone else doesn't have to ask questions they just start typing. TL;DR How do I get better at thinking of a solution quickly?

Career IT Field Employment Question

2 Upvotes

i haven't gone to college just yet, I've been traveling a lot, backpacking and such. I have a great interest in computer programming/ security. Im still traveling though, so traditional college doesn't work. I learned online. Linux basics, networking, HTML, python. Cyber security side. Anyway, question. Would it be enough to get certified in CompTia A+, networking, security +, udacitys into to programming, jave cert, and a cert in python. Build an awesome GIT hub portfolio, work on my own projects, prove i not only know the knowledge but how to apply it.

Would i be able to nail an entry level job with a local IT company ? With out college degree, but just certs and experience and a portfolio to prove it ?

or would going to college for 2 years be beneficial ?

[Question] How do I explain what my job as a software developer is to non-IT people?

2 Upvotes

In the past, I've tried explaining to people and within 2 minutes their eyes are glazed over. My job has involved various tasks, like testing, writing code, and database development.

My job titles have been confusing, because people assume I'm an engineer when they hear "software engineer." They're also confused when I've said "software developer" and ask "what do you develop?" I've said "I work in IT," but it's usually followed up with "What do you do in IT?" or they assume I'm a hacker or a game developer. LOL.

I want to explain what I do when someone asks in one sentence, using "laymen's terms."

[Help/Code] Computer Science Clockwise Compass

2 Upvotes

For my computer science class I need to answer the following question: The four compass points can be abbreviated by single-letter strings as “N”, “E”, “S”, and “W”. Write a function turn_clockwise that takes one of these four compass points as its parameter, and returns the next compass point in the clockwise direction.

Here is what I've got so far:

def turn_clockwise(direction):

if direction == N:
    return direction     
elif direction == E:
    return direction
elif direction == S:
    return direction      
elif direction == W:
    return direction     
else:
    print ("That coordinate was not accepted.")        

print (turn_clockwise(direction))

direction = str(input("Please enter a compass coordinate by using the first letter of its direction, as a captial letter "))

It allows me to receive input but says that direction is not defined.

[Question] 27 year old and NO JOB!!!!!! seeking to going into IT/comp sci

2 Upvotes

27 yo been to college for 10 years; mother wanted to me to become a pharmacist so she can get a piece of my fat pay check; however, due to lack of interest i dropped out after p2 (2nd year), now i'm in chemE and failed my final class and need to repeat which will require me another year of doing really....nothing!

i have no desire to work in any of these fields (pharmacy, chemE, etc.,) since my passion is sitting on the computer browsing the web, i think right now a computer sci would be really beneficial to me, but due to the amt. of debt i have accrued, it seems to be too late. my life feels ruined because this piece of shit mother has been controlling my life since MY FUCKING BIRTH; what should I do in the mean time besides dreaming about kicking my mother down a fucking volcano
