If you want to do Angular or React, definitely learn JavaScript. JS benefits from ubiquity and seems to keep wending its way into more application areas. The language has its weaknesses but I don't find it particularly egregious compared to most other high-level (sloppy) languages.

Algorithms and data structures do not depend on any particular computer language.

I also recommend you learn C.

You can do it. Keep refining your skills and learning best practices and keep hustling for jobs.

Only when I briefly used mod-python's Python Server Pages did Python's blocking scheme prove at all problematic.

Java and Node both surprised me, too, but especially the latter. I'll definitely give Node a closer look after this.

Very disappointed with Python today. Even an 8+ year old version of SpiderMonkey I have lying around finishes the task in one third of the time.

I did the optimized C test incorrectly. It looks like the compiler skipped the algorithm entirely because it didn't see any reference to the result. After the fix it finishes in 75-80 ms.

My results for a bubble sort on a reversed 10000 integer array:

Java: 91-96 ms

C (no opt): 167-237 ms

C (-O3): 1 ms

Go: 267-329 ms

Node JS: 141-168 ms

Python2.7: 19-20 s

Python3.8: 23-25 s

Ruby 2.2.10: 5-6 s

Microsoft bought GitHub, not GitLab.

My results:

C without compile options (and the correct answer) and Go gave about the same times, between 250 and 320 ms.

C compiled with -O3 on gcc finished in 1 or 2 ms.

Python 3.8 about 9 s

Ruby 2.2.1 about 12 s (with the wrong answer)

Node between 100 and 200 ms

Java between 90 and 160 ms

I don't do PHP.

No.

I use BitBucket.

https://pypi.org/project/youtube_dl/

It installs a command line script but you could import the package and call the function that gets the file.

Do they lack the intelligence to use it or do they lack the inclination to shut off parts of their brains to use it?

PHP sucks to an insane degree but it had a massive adoption advantage in the late 90s and early 00s among web hosting providers finding it easy to install. While the legions shitting on it have grown a lot of the momentum from that early advantage persists to the present.

Instead of running a match inside a loop create a new string by regex replacing letters with nothing, then run the operation on each character in the new string.

I never used that one. I briefly tried the file tree plugin at one point.

Vim completes C functions appearing in includes. You could also look at ctags (http://ctags.sourceforge.net/).

I use nothing else.

Ironically, codes of conduct themselves are often adopted because they are championed by confident loudmouths whom others dare not oppose.

I wonder whether he meant this very thing by the "code" hustled by those more confident than competent.

When a programmer gets programmed.

Sheesh. Don't any of these people stop to think about what they propose for the reasons for disparate involvement between men and women in mathematically demanding fields? They talk like they've grasped the solution to an ancient puzzle and need to see it solved at any cost.

I find these armchair sociology murmurings really disappointing, but corruption works its way into everything. Van Rossum served his purpose long ago and he can spend the rest of his life mentoring black lesbo commies as far as I care.

I find this extraordinary: https://www.kennethreitz.org/essays/mentalhealtherror-an-exception-occurred .

It'll be about as effective as the actual Hippocratic Oath in keeping doctors from behaving unethically.

That's adorable.

If you add a getter or setter, making the member private, as part of a bug fix you change the interface. This is OK for a major revision, not for a bug fix.

The simple example in the video was a refactor. What if you need to add a getter or setter as part of a bug fix?

You don't want to change the interface for a bug fix. He's fired.

BitBucket. If anyone knows of a convergence event with them please let me know.

I don't copy from StackOverflow... so you can just imagine what my code looks like.

I will not be chased off the use of software, especially that which I've spent years learning, by loathsome maggots who had no hand in building it. If I find it necessary I will join or support an advocacy group for people who aren't freaks to push back on these barnacles. What happens when a virgin project you adopt succumbs to the CoC?

A few months back they had a git post-receive hook that printed a huge gay pride flag in your terminal after every git push.

Pride week Easter egg? Fuck these people!

Goodbye, NNTP library.

Nothing stops you from viewing the linked page through an archive site.

Read the book if you can stomach its condescending tone. I couldn't, so I instead worked on expanding my knowledge of data structures and algorithms in C.

One delivers a tracking pixel in an HTML email with a special image tag. The source field of the image tag can contain, in addition to the location of the image, parameters which the email sender can use to identify the email address and message. For example:

<img src="https://cdn.example.com/images/foo.jpg?id=1092741abcd097324091>

The image location will appear in the server logs. You can analyze the logs to see which email addresses saw which images.

Alternatively, one can set the source field to a script instead of an image. The script could process the parameters in whatever way desired before serving the image to the email client.

I think the terms server engineer and client engineer, referring to programmers, came from the video game industry and bled into network service development in general.

You don't understand Git very well.
