numbers in computers are a leaky abstraction: the way they work is "close" to what most programmers expect most of the time ... but not all the programmers all the time johndcook.com/blog/2009/04/06/numbers-are-a-leaky-abstractio‌​n — Joni 1 min ago

The problem with most "what is best practice" type of questions is that if you ask ten different C++ programmers "what is best practice for X" you will get eleven different answers. — Sam Varshavchik 27 secs ago

These are both tagged c but I think it applies to c++ as well and they both touch on this subject: Should I use #include in headers? and What should and what shouldn't be in a header file? — nick 48 secs ago

It appears the OP knows how to hide the side bar (he mentions Ctrl+B) - it just doesn't stay hidden when he runs the script for some reason. So it isn't a duplicate of the question you cited. And it is on-topic software tools commonly used by programmers; from stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic. — Mark 24 secs ago

Java is to javascript as car is to carpet - One is essentially a toy, designed for writing small pieces of code, and traditionally used and abused by inexperienced programmers. The other is a scripting language for web browsers. — Jaromanda X 25 secs ago

Interesting @Gary, I observed almost the exact same thing, but I'm still unsure why beyond agreeing with your hypothesis. "my comments aren't worth much", you're very much selling yourself short there, you seem to have a much deeper and analytical understanding of this than I'd expect from a lot of professional programmers I know :) — Sam152 1 min ago

@Someprogrammerdude To be fair, beginners who naturally write recursive code probably have potential as good programmers. — john 37 secs ago

But from a software engineering point of view it could be a problem, it could be a sign that the project is too large and becomes unmaintainable. Instead of such a huge monolith, you might be better off splitting it into microservices. But that's (1) highly opinionated, (2) independent of the database used, and (3) independent of using Django or any other framework — Celebrian 34 secs ago

One thing that many new programmers fail to do is to start by doing the problem with pen and paper to understand the problem. Once you understand the problem with pen and paper and can reproduce the results with different problems, then translate that to a program. Remember that a computer is a tool to help you accomplish a task like a screw driver will help you a screw properly so will a proper understanding of the problem. In other words you would not use a hammer to put in a screw. — Guy Coder just now

Maybe this would fit better on Software Engineering? — mkrieger1 19 secs ago

Hey David. There is a popular demand amongst readers here that questions should be substantial, detailed, and reflect prior research and thought. We are keen to discourage people asking a question in the first instance, since software engineering is all about problem solving. — halfer 1 min ago

Although, if you don't know how volatile works, you need to get rid of C++ asap. Writing a proper ISR is basic embedded systems programming, whereas writing a sensible and safe C++ program on an embedded system is much more qualified work. It can be done, but you need lots of detail knowledge. Some >90% of all C++ programmers are not up to the task. — Lundin 1 min ago

From a programming point of view, the change I would recommend so far is to make sampleprogrammers sample from 1:nrow(allprogrammers) instead of 1:523... assuming that's where your 523 came from. (And similarly for analysts). — Gregor Thomas 8 secs ago

Your data surprises me - from you description I thought there would be names or ID numbers and the idea would be to infer, from the sample, whether some people who are analysts are not programmers, or vice versa. But your data shows nothing of the type. What are px and py? Are you comparing average salary, or permanant vs temporary status, or mean hours? Something else? — Gregor Thomas 12 secs ago

Its a basic statistic course We learn the standard deviation, the mean, poisson, and the basic things But he really wanted us to try R and he gave us a big work with this... He did not gave us much information about this program so it's really hard to me to understand ahhaha The question is this: Take a simple random sample of size nx = 50 from all the programmers in the population using the "sample" function of R. Same with analysts From the two samples drawn, test the alternative hypothesis HA: ≠, using a significance level α = 2%. — Pe Dro 58 secs ago

@PeterVaro: I didn't want to rewrite it to circa 2020 python, I wanted to fix the problematic style. Creating a quoted string that needs to be split apart and spinning up a shell is not just wasteful, it's error prone, because if your inner string contains a single-quote, then the parsing of the shell will break for no apparent reason. It's unfortunate that you put it back. You're leaving a trap for junior programmers. — vy32 46 secs ago

Some observations: you don't need to cast the result of malloc(), and most C programmers do not. It is better to avoid explicit types with sizeof in malloc(), and to use an expression instead: int* sizes = (int*) malloc(sizeof(int)) --> int* sizes = malloc(sizeof *sizes). This is less error-prone, easier to maintain, and usually easier to read. — ex nihilo 19 secs ago

Seems to me like scale and performance goals would have been a consideration before opting to implement an EAV model into relational database. Consider searching for related questions on dba and software engineering, rather than posting an offtopic question on StackOverflow e.g. Shttps://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/931‌​24/eav-is-it-really-‌​bad-in-all-scenarios — spencer7593 10 secs ago
