  • Should I avoid or embrace asking questions of other developers on the job?

    - by T.K.
    As a CS undergraduate, the people around me are either learning or are paid to teach me, but as a software developer, the people around me have tasks of their own. They aren't paid to teach me, and conversely, I am paid to contribute. When I first started working as a software developer co-op, I was introduced to a huge code base written in a language I had never used before. I had plenty of questions, but didn't want to bother my co-workers with all of them - it wasted their time and hurt my pride. Instead, I spent a lot of time bouncing between IDE and browser, trying to make sense of what had already been written and differentiate between expected behavior and symptoms of bugs. I'd ask my co-workers when I felt that the root of my lack of understanding was an in-house concept that I wouldn't find on the internet, but aside from that, I tried to confine my questions to lunch hours. Naturally, there were occasions where I wasted time trying to understand something in code on the internet that had, at its heart, an in-house concept, but overall, I felt I was productive enough during my first semester, contributing about as much as one could expect and gaining a pretty decent understanding of large parts of the product. I was wondering what senior developers felt about that mindset. Should new developers ask more questions to get to speed faster, or should they do their own research for themselves? I see benefits to both mindsets, and anticipate a large variety of responses, but I figure new developers might appreciate your answers without thinking to ask this question.

  • Is changing my job now a wise decision? [closed]

    - by FlaminPhoenix
    First a little background about myself. I am a javascript programmer with 3.8 years of experience. I joined my current company a year and 3 months ago, and I was recruited as a javascript programmer. I was under the impression I was a programmer in a programming team but this was not the case. No one else except me and my manager knows anything about programming in my team. The other two teammates, copy paste stuff from websites into excel sheets. I was told I was being recruited for a new project, and it was true. The only problem was that the server side language they were using was PHP. They were using a popular library with PHP, and I had never worked with PHP before. Nevertheless, I learnt it well enough to get things working, and received high praise from my boss's boss on whichever project I worked on. Words like "wow" , "This looks great, the clients gonna be impressed with this." were sprinkled every now and then on reviewing my work. They even managed to sell my work to a couple of clients and as I understand, both of my projects are going to fetch them a pretty buck. The problem: I was asked to move into a project which my manager was handling. I asked them for training on the project which never came, and sure enough I couldnt complete my first task on the new project without shortcomings. I told my manager there were things I didnt know how to get done in the new project due to lack of training. His project had 0 documentation. I was told he would "take care" of everything relating to those shortcomings. In the meantime, I was asked to switch to another project. My manager made the necessary changes and later told me that the build had "broken" on the production server and that I needed to "test" my changes before saying things were done. I never deployed it on the production server. He did. I never saw / had the opportunity to see the final build before it went to production. He called me for a separate meeting and started pointing fingers at me, but I took full responsibility even if I didnt have to. He later on got on a call with his boss, in my presence, and gave him the impression that it was all my fault. I did not confront him about this so far. I have worked late / done overtime without them asking a lot, but last week, I just got home from work, and I got calls asking me to solve an issue which till then they had kept quiet about even though they were informed about it. I asked my manager why I hadnt been tasked with this when I was in office. He started telling me which statements to put where, as if to mock me, and that this "is hardly an overtime issue" and this pissed me off. Also, during the previous meeting, he was constantly talking highly about his work, at the same time trying to demean mine. In the meantime, I have attended an interview with another MNC, and the interviewers there were fully respectful of my decision to leave my current company. Its a software company, so I can expect my colleagues to know a lot more than me. Im told I can expect their offer anytime this week. My questions: Is my anger towards my manager justified? While leaving, do I tell him that its because of his actions that Im leaving? Do I erupt in anger and tell him that he shouldnt have put the blame on me since he was the one doing the deployment? This is going to be my second resignation to this company. The first time I wanted to resign, I was asked to stay back and my manager promised a lot of changes, a couple of which were made. How do I keep myself from getting into such situations with my employers in the future?

  • Don't speak to the DBA while he/she is doing the job?!

    - by Uri Dimant
    Our DBA was very busy today, he helped out our developers to write efficient code,explained to the programmer how to launch the old DTS package on SQL Server 2005 and etc. You know how it is, someone comes in and asking the question and you answer the question at the same time you are busy to do something. So  today answering one of such questions he deleted by mistake very ctitical database. Fortunately, we had zero data loss,thanks to our backup/recovery strategy. I think that is acceptable to say that you are busy right now ,please ask the question later on, what do you think? How do you respond if someone asks you a queston while you are doing something on the server/database and etc.?   Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it!

  • Drag and Drop-How to get the url's title?, Name? Description? (2 replies)

    I made a .Hta file that contains some drag and drop (primitive coding, alas). (see full .hta code at bottom of this posting) The .hta returns the url of links that are dragged and dropped onto it. But there's info it doesn't return that I need, and I don't know the right term to describe what I need that I'm not getting. To explain by example, if I open a window to this url: http://dotcommunities....

  • What is the purpose of a logic question test in an IT Job Interview? [closed]

    - by KPO
    I went to interview a week ago for an IT position pertaining to tech support at Ameriprise. I applied and they liked my resume and experience. They then asked me to come in for the "first base." I went in and they gave me 20 logic questions out of which I got 9 correct. After that he told me that they will call me to let me know in 1 week. Does getting 9/20 right on a test like that means I will be rejected OR is it a way for them to know how I think? Please let me know. Thanks!

  • New Dvds with 99 Title tracks, which one is the correct track?

    - by Mike Fielden
    I have embarked on the task of backing up my DVD collection. I have noticed that some of the newer movies I am attempting to rip contain 99 Title tracks all with approximately equal overall run times. I use MacTheRipper to rip the DVDs and Handbrake to encode them. My question is, is there a site somewhere that has information regarding which Title track to select? Disclaimer: I cannot stress this enough, I legally own these DVDs. I am merely making a digital copy. Two examples of such DVDs are Star Trek and Carriers. UPDATE: Just an FYI each most of these 99 tracks appear to be the full length tracks. There times look to be very similar to the overall movie run time (within a few seconds of each other). So using the time isn't a valid way to tell which is the correct track. Opening the movie with VLC seems to be the best way to tell. Thank you all.

  • iTunes Title Bar is Equal to the Location of the Library file?

    - by Urda
    I have never been able to get a clear answer on why the latest edition of iTunes does this. I have my entire iTunes library located in C:\itunes\ and the library data files inside C:\itunes\!library_info for backup purposes. However when version 9 of iTunes came out it went from having iTunes as the title, to !library_info. Anyway to get around this without moving my data files away? Annoying "feature" if that is what it is. Again Apple support and forums were of no help to me. Anyone have insight on this? System Info: Windows Vista x86 Ultimate, latest updates. iTunes Version 9.0.3.15 Screenshot: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4072/4414557544_d0b25eb64c_o.jpg Flickr Page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/urda/4414557544/ UPDATE: I put a bounty on this, and would be open to hacking the registry or doing a custom config. Please help me fix my title bar!!! Update2: I would not like to move my library files out of itunes\!library_info to avoid them inter-mingling with my music library.

  • Ubuntu's garbage collection cron job for PHP sessions takes 25 minutes to run, why?

    - by Lamah
    Ubuntu has a cron job set up which looks for and deletes old PHP sessions: # Look for and purge old sessions every 30 minutes 09,39 * * * * root [ -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] \ && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -depth -mindepth 1 \ -maxdepth 1 -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) ! -execdir \ fuser -s {} 2> /dev/null \; -delete My problem is that this process is taking a very long time to run, with lots of disk IO. Here's my CPU usage graph: The cleanup running is represented by the teal spikes. At the beginning of the period, PHP's cleanup jobs were scheduled at the default 09 and 39 minutes times. At 15:00 I removed the 39 minute time from cron, so a cleanup job twice the size runs half as often (you can see the peaks get twice as wide and half as frequent). Here are the corresponding graphs for IO time: And disk operations: At the peak where there were about 14,000 sessions active, the cleanup can be seen to run for a full 25 minutes, apparently using 100% of one core of the CPU and what seems to be 100% of the disk IO for the entire period. Why is it so resource intensive? An ls of the session directory /var/lib/php5 takes just a fraction of a second. So why does it take a full 25 minutes to trim old sessions? Is there anything I can do to speed this up? The filesystem for this device is currently ext4, running on Ubuntu Precise 12.04 64-bit. EDIT: I suspect that the load is due to the unusual process "fuser" (since I expect a simple rm to be a damn sight faster than the performance I'm seeing). I'm going to remove the use of fuser and see what happens.

  • jQuery and XML (with CDATA)

    - by P..
    I've seen the post that deal with this issue but I still can't solve my issue: I've got XML with CDATA and when I parse the XML, it includes the CDATA (which I don't want). XML sample: <mainnav> <nav path="/" xmlpath="home.xml" key="footer" navigator=""> <display><![CDATA[Home]]></display> <title><![CDATA[Home]]></title> </nav> <nav path="/nav1/" xmlpath="nav1.xml" key="primary" navigator="primary" iconid="0"> <display><![CDATA[Nav 1]]></display> <title><![CDATA[Nav 1]]></title> <overdesc><![CDATA[test nav 1]]></overdesc> <sub path="/nav1/sub1/" xmlpath="nav1/sub1.xml" key="sub"> <display><![CDATA[sub 1<br />of nav 1]]></display> <title><![CDATA[sub 1<br />of nav 1]]></title> </sub> </nav> <nav path="/nav1/" xmlpath="nav2.xml" key="primary" navigator="primary" iconid="1"> <display><![CDATA[Nav 2]]></display> <title><![CDATA[Nav 2]]></title> <overdesc><![CDATA[test nav 2]]></overdesc> <sub path="/nav2/sub1/" xmlpath="nabv2/sub1.xml" key="sub"> <display><![CDATA[sub 1<br />of nav 2]]></display> <title><![CDATA[sub 1<br />of nav2]]></title> </sub> </nav> </mainnav> jQuery: $(document).ready(function(){ $.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "site_xml/config.xml", //contentType: "text/xml", dataType: ($.browser.msie) ? "xml" : "text/xml", success: parseXML, error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) { alert(errorThrown); } });}); function parseXML(xml) { $(xml).find('nav').each(function(){ if ($(this).attr("key")=="primary") { // this is a primary nav item; var title = $.trim( $(this).find('title').text() ); alert(title); $("#output").append(title); //nothing showing up in my output DIV, presumably due to the CDATA tags? } }); }

  • iPhone: Set the title of a UIButton with a single method invocation?

    - by Greg Maletic
    I'd like to set the title of a UIButton via code. I find myself having to call -[UIButton setTitle:forState:] for UIControlStateNormal, UIControlStateHighlighted, UIControlStateDisabled, UIControlStateSelected. And that doesn't even take into account all of the combinations of these states together. Needless to say, this is tiresome. Is there a single call I can make that will set one string as the title for all of the states? (Since, I assume that in 95% of the cases, that's the desired behavior?)

  • Linq to XML Read and output XML generated from lookup list

    - by Greg S
    I am trying to use XML created from a lookup list in SharePoint as a datasource for a treeview. It is in the form of : <NewDataSet> <test_data> <ID>1</ID> <Title>MenuItem_1</Title> <child_of /> </test_data> <test_data> <ID>2</ID> <Title>Subitem_1</Title> <Action>http://www.google.com</Action> <child_of>MenuItem_1</child_of> </test_data> <test_data> <ID>3</ID> <Title>Subitem_2</Title> <Action>http://www.google.com</Action> <child_of>MenuItem_1</child_of> </test_data> <test_data> <ID>4</ID> <Title>MenuItem_2</Title> <child_of /> </test_data> <test_data> <ID>5</ID> <Title>Subitem_2_1</Title> <Action>http://www.google.com</Action> <child_of>MenuItem_2</child_of> </test_data> <test_data> <ID>6</ID> <Title>Subitem_2_2</Title> <Action>http://www.google.com</Action> <child_of>MenuItem_2</child_of> </test_data> <test_data> <ID>7</ID> <Title>Subitem_2_2_1</Title> <Action>http://www.google.com</Action> <child_of>Subitem_2_2</child_of> </test_data> </NewDataSet> There may be N tiers, but the items relate to the parent via the <child_of> element. I can't seem to figure out how to write the LINQ in C# to nest the menu items properly. A friend recommended I post here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • When did you know it was time to leave your job?

    - by Jeremy Michael Cantrell
    Every job has its ups and downs, but sometimes it just isn't worth it to stick around. I'm currently in one of the "down" points with my current job and debating whether or not to start testing the waters for something else. What are your experiences? How did you know it was time to leave? Do you ultimately feel like it was the right decision?

  • How to escape charaters in the title of a marker in a Google Maps?

    - by Anthony
    Say I have this piece of code: var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: location, title: 'B&#250;fals', map: map }); This creates a marker as expected but if I hover the mouse over it I don’t see 'Búfals' as I would expect (instead I see the html code). This doesn't make any difference: var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: location, title: unescape('B&#250;fals'), map: map }); Any ideas? Thanks.

  • Reducer getting fewer records than expected

    - by sathishs
    We have a scenario of generating unique key for every single row in a file. we have a timestamp column but the are multiple rows available for a same timestamp in few scenarios. We decided unique values to be timestamp appended with their respective count as mentioned in the below program. Mapper will just emit the timestamp as key and the entire row as its value, and in reducer the key is generated. Problem is Map outputs about 236 rows, of which only 230 records are fed as an input for reducer which outputs the same 230 records. public class UniqueKeyGenerator extends Configured implements Tool { private static final String SEPERATOR = "\t"; private static final int TIME_INDEX = 10; private static final String COUNT_FORMAT_DIGITS = "%010d"; public static class Map extends Mapper<LongWritable, Text, Text, Text> { @Override protected void map(LongWritable key, Text row, Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException { String input = row.toString(); String[] vals = input.split(SEPERATOR); if (vals != null && vals.length >= TIME_INDEX) { context.write(new Text(vals[TIME_INDEX - 1]), row); } } } public static class Reduce extends Reducer<Text, Text, NullWritable, Text> { @Override protected void reduce(Text eventTimeKey, Iterable<Text> timeGroupedRows, Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException { int cnt = 1; final String eventTime = eventTimeKey.toString(); for (Text val : timeGroupedRows) { final String res = SEPERATOR.concat(getDate( Long.valueOf(eventTime)).concat( String.format(COUNT_FORMAT_DIGITS, cnt))); val.append(res.getBytes(), 0, res.length()); cnt++; context.write(NullWritable.get(), val); } } } public static String getDate(long time) { SimpleDateFormat utcSdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddhhmmss"); utcSdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles")); return utcSdf.format(new Date(time)); } public int run(String[] args) throws Exception { conf(args); return 0; } public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { conf(args); } private static void conf(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException, ClassNotFoundException { Configuration conf = new Configuration(); Job job = new Job(conf, "uniquekeygen"); job.setJarByClass(UniqueKeyGenerator.class); job.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class); job.setOutputValueClass(Text.class); job.setMapperClass(Map.class); job.setReducerClass(Reduce.class); job.setInputFormatClass(TextInputFormat.class); job.setOutputFormatClass(TextOutputFormat.class); // job.setNumReduceTasks(400); FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path(args[0])); FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path(args[1])); job.waitForCompletion(true); } } It is consistent for higher no of lines and the difference is as huge as 208969 records for an input of 20855982 lines. what might be the reason for reduced inputs to reducer?

  • Drupal 7: Create a taxonomy term for each node and use the node title as the term name

    - by Spre3
    Is there anyway of doing this by using rules or by some custom code? I did try using rules but I can't find a way of adding a new term and set the name as the node title because the [node:title] token is not avilable. I know this is possible using the NAT module but the way this module changes the taxonomy terms hierarchy if you add a term reference field that uses the same taxonomy vocabulary which ruins the whole purpose of what I am trying to do.
