i'm going to share you a great idea to convert a string like "45.657" to the float number 45.657 in all languages and without using any standard function... watch this tuto in youtube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8JwSy8wPcM

I wonder if this question might be a better fit for programmers.stackexchange.com, being as it is a question about software development practices. — chepner40 secs ago
This question as written will be closed quickly and deleted on programmers.stackexchange.com because it is both a resource request and educational request. @KDecker please consider the actual site scope before making recommendations such as that. Thanks. — enderlandjust now
Well, I am new to Java and trying to learn it. I am trying to run this code but it is running successfully without any errors but is not returning anything. Is there a problem with the code? Its a very small program which return a simple value.

@AaronHall I've worked with several "Done and Gets Things Smart" people. This reads to me like the old idea: "If you're the smartest person in the room it's time to get a new room".
I want to smack people who think that professional software developers should also maintain a robust and professional portfolio in addition to their educational and work history and references.
Yeah, I get that. On the one hand, it's great evidence that you can do what you can do, but on the other hand, you'll probably reject really good people if you insist on it.
It's not 'great evidence' In my experience all it takes to "maintain a robust and professional portfolio" is a few websites you helped your buddies with. But that's because I haven't been a web developer for a long time.
It's hard to prove that you wrote the code. But your peers, managers, and teachers? Those are good people. For recent graduates - insist on transcripts (and actually look at them, not just a GPA). For everyone - insist on references.
Maybe so. In the meetup group, we tell people trying to get their feet in the door to build a portfolio. A portfolio might signal you either have too much time on your hands or you're too desperate to look good on interviews or trying to make up for negative aspects.
I've accepted the fact that there simply isn't any perfect way to hire people. Best I've found to do is spend the time it takes to get the flavor of the person. Every impression is going to be superficial. The only thing that matters is if you can work with them. Find something to solve together. I hate making an interview into an oral exam. Here sit down with me. I'm trying to fix this. I'm thinking I could do that. Got any ideas?
Part of the reason I think that is because of the success I've had interviewing. So many jobs are inundated with people who apply to 100 places at once. I've never done that. I pick 1, maybe 2 places I want to work and spend a month stalking them before I ever contact them.
Usually I already know someone that works there. Usually by the time I apply I know more about their hiring routine then the guy that ends up interviewing me. I also know whether I even want to work there. Might seem creepy but doing anything less makes me feel like a telemarketer.
Typically, yes. However this question is very relevant to programmers who run dev machines on an internal network. — rjdennison17 secs ago
That premise only goes so far. Questions about programming a SQL Server are always on-topic. Questions about configuring or installing a SQL Server are generally not, even though those subjects are of interest to programmers. — Robert Harvey ♦31 secs ago
@RobertHarvey that's standard pre-approach for sales - assuming CandiedOrange is nominally competent in a tech or two and isn't holding out for above-average comp, CO's a shoo-in.
@RobertHarvey Actually you don't have to be a 1 percenter. I learned the trick from a great uncle who didn't finish high school but wanted to work for the phone company. Showed up every morning and simply asked if they had a job for him today. He knew nothing except how to show determination and reliability.

This went on for two weeks till they gave up and heird him. He worked there his whole life. 1% my ass. This is just showing you can focus on what you want. Believe it or not getting hired is a lot like dating. No one want's to be your second choice.
Something like half the users on here show up with blank icons for me. A right click and show it tab finds they really do have a pic. Is my browser going hinky or am I just on so much they're trying to save the data I'm costing them?
