Each time it polls for new SMS, it prints _, when it detects a new one, it prints !, shows the message received, and the one it sends.

Easy as hell to make new commands for it too

In my experience, the concept surrounding modulo is taught in elementary school as a way to avoid fractions when learning division (because they haven't covered fractions yet).

After that, the concept doesn't come up until you take a course containing a number theory unit.

Programming is an art not a science.

Don't be intimidated by math. Just think of it as formalized logic. ;-)

There's an endless debate on what makes an algorithm run faster. There's plenty of external factors. But a rule of thumb is that an elegant written algoritm is faster than a sloppy one. E.g. a * (b + c) instead of (a + b) * (a + c).

>>2910

There's no conflict between art and science.

>This makes me an expert on programming, enough to assert certain things

The things posted here about math and programming are fairly consistent. I'll repost something I posted a while back:

>Can I learn programming even though I suck at math?

Sort of.

Firstly, you may think that you suck at maths, and be mistaken. See: https://www.maa.org/external_archive/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdf

tl;dr: most mathematicians agree that maths is grossly misrepresented in school, with the wrong things emphasized. Yes, what you do is important for 'real maths', but most teachers up until university won't tell you how something works, or how it was discovered, or why we know it's true. They'll just give you a formula or a rule.

Coding is logic and problem solving. So is maths. You can be mathematically mediocre, but still be a great programmer. You can write lots of code and barely encounter anything above basic highschool maths, depending on the kind of coding you're doing. But people who are good at programming tend to be the sort of people who could be good at maths.

If you want to write database applications, all you'll really need is arithmetic and an understanding of percentages. That, as well as logic, and the ability to think somewhat abstractly.

I used to think I was shit at maths until I started coding. It made me look at maths a different way, and then I went to university to study maths, and they actually taught the beauty behind it. I found that I was decent at high-level abstract maths.

>Lisp user telling you syntax doesn't matter

They probably didn't know what they were talking about. Lisp's syntax is the major reason why it's so useful.

>>2991

>>3003

>>3004

That's all pretty dank and meme'd, but could we go back to topic?

Most likely the person who told you this was talking about abstract concepts, in which it isn't so much the syntax of the language you need to focus on, but the core idea. At least that is my best guess.

For example, you could describe rocket mechanics in English, German, or Russian, and while the syntax is different, the abstract concepts are the same.

It is possible that the language could inhibit your understanding of a concept, and this is a case where syntax does matter. For instance it would be quite hard to talk about rocket propulsion in Swahili.

Syntax matters for learning programming, which is why SICP chose a language with almost no syntax so you could focus on programming and not get hung up on whitespace/syntax.

Syntax also matters to Don E Knuth who invented literate programming so you wouldn't need comments (since almost nobody properly comments) and you could read a program like a book.

>>2991

>Technically, every language capable of being turing complete is a programming language, so English could be a programming language.

True. But what separates languages from programmming languages is that they are not 100% literal.

>>3031

But that requires that there's no ambiguity in the names of the variables, yes?

>>3878

Getting a "Linux certification" means about as much as a B.A. in philosophy. All you need is to know your shit and preferably have a CS degree, and you can start making shekels.

>>3879

What about CS degree + certifications?

>>3886

degree + work expierence works much better

>>3886

>>3889

Needless to say since you likely won't have much if any experience right out of uni, the degree itself is still highly appealing to potential employers. Better than applicants with degrees in other fields or none at all.

I think it's because hotwheels has some weird hacky shit with the servers due to bui and/or site growth.

You might have figured this out by yourself already, since this was a while ago.

I might try writing my own version in javascript or bash for 8chan specifically. I'll prob post it here if I do

P.S. I already checked out /sci/'s directories, and I didn't see any undergrad textbooks worth the gorillion shekels they usually go for. Nor did I find any good paperback texts akin to "What is Mathematics?" (R. Courant) or "How to Solve It" (G. Polya).

you mean computational physics? that is heavy numerical analysis for physics problems solutions?

What the fuck does that even mean?

How would you make an autonomous REPL? Autonomous means self functioning without input. A REPL is a user input/output interface.

I'd recommend using upwork as something you just regularly keep up with, but don't be in any rush to land work on it, because you'll either end up under selling your work or giving up out of frustration.

I know people who have found solid clients that they regularly work with from there and I would say I get contacted by what I consider to be legit companies once every couple months and I don't even network there, that is just from companies finding my profile.

You just have to position yourself as professional software developer who is interested in finding the ideal client, you're not some desperate curry nigger who will work for third world wages.

Unfortunately, it will take some time and you'll have to keep at it, but once you find a few legit clients, it is all worth it.

If you're needing to pay the bills right away, then obviously you're just going to have bite the bullet and find whatever you can locally.

>>3806

Can you give me some advice on making my profile?

>>3812

Stuff it with keywords relevant to the types of work you'd like to do so when they're searching for contractors your profile shows up.

Just talk about your experience, your knowledge, the type of work you are capable of doing and the type of opportunities you are personally interested in. Mention that you are a native english speaker because this will matter to your ideal clients.

Include a picture regardless of your opinion of your looks, just like on dating sites, profiles with pictures draw more attention.

Sure.

I'll join you through Systemic Program Design.

I'm going to check out the Harvard one, I initially passed on it because it seemed like they use a multiple languages meant they wouldn't really get that deep into the subject, but the reviews seem to be very positive.

>>3836

the use of multiple languages*

>>3836

It's pretty popular. I was talking to a woman at my university who helps put things on EDX, and she had heard of it and wanted to take it.

I started on it last year, but life got in the way. From what I saw it was pretty good, but obviously it's still only a first year introductory course. I would have been taking it this time, but I just couldn't resist a modern course in Scheme.

Here's the post from the anon who taught me how to do this:

in google chrome do this:

1. press ctrl-shift-j

2. paste this script, DO NOT FUCKING HIT ENTER YET

(function() {

var text = prompt("Enter some text.");

var width = $(".active-cursor").width();

var height = $(".active-cursor").height();

var start = $(".active-cursor").offset();

var current = {

top: Math.round(start.top + height / 2),

left: Math.round(start.left + width / 2)

};

var i = 0;

function next() {

var c = text.charAt(i);

if (c === "\n") {

current.left = start.left;

current.top += height;

} else {

$(document.elementFromPoint(current.left, current.top)).click();

w.typeChar(c);

current.left += width;

}

i++;

if (i < text.length) {

setTimeout(next, 10);

}

}

next()

})();

3. copy the ascii you want to post

4. press enter, a prompt will come up, paste your ascii into the prompt

5. profit!

for repeat pastes you only need to go to the java console and press the up arrrow, it will recall the last script you used even if you have closed chrome and opened it again

if you don'Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>3834

What is the error message you are getting in the javascript console?

I'm getting a TypeError: cannot read property 'top' of undefined.

That 'undefined' is start.

$('.active-cursor').offset() returns undefined when I try to run your script

>>3792

It's a great example of why you should never write it either his way or the way you suggested - it's so easy to accidentally leave a stray line terminator in that changes the logic. A better style is

while(...) {

as it resists these types of bugs (which are actually rather common in real code by good programmers). People get super stubborn about this even though this style is objectively better due to the lowered error rate. It's also a good example of why python got it (mostly) right with its spacing.

>>3795

> this style is subjectively better

> FTFY

If you use Allman style and always use braces, even when there is only one statement, then you don't make these sorts of errors.

The first thing you should do is fix all warnings and then quickly go fuck yourself for not using plain C.

Also write in some if statements to check whether or not you variables actually have any /value/.

guday m8

>>3795

Or you could format code in a decent way and not be a retard/faggot.

If you are used to writing shit this way you shouldn't have errors. It also makes you look 1337 as fuck.

>>3792

Never Python. Not even once.

You won't get direct access to the database, ever. Even if you have a court order for something from the database, they won't give you access, they will instead search the database themselves and then give you only the data that was specifically ordered. Don't even write a single line of code until they give you an account on a database server.

This thread is retarded. Insurance company databases don't just sort of have public interfaces you can plug into to pull arbitrary information about arbitrary VINs. You would have to either contact the company and have them give you the information or get the info off their website customer portal.

Furthermore, if there was a standard public interfaces for this, there would already be 50 different programs to pull the information.

It's pretty telling that you only describe the search function as "have a search bar". You either have no idea how to program or just know minimal bits of web design.

This is " code a GUI in Visual Basic to trace the killer's IP" level of retarded.

tl;dr: not only is it not possible, you also have no idea what you're talking about in the first place.

Your baby is a hippy retard and you probably are too, fuck back off to Reddit r/reiki/ or whatever stupid fucking spirit science board you come from.
