possible answer invalidation by t3chb0t on question by t3chb0t: codereview.stackexchange.com/posts/117464/revisions
Why is there no easy to way to deep clone an object in C#? sheesh. Especially when you don't know the type of the object until runtime
there's probably a generics workaround
Maybe there's a workaround using C++ template metaprogramming via C#
(I really don't have a clue)
@Quill That's okay, but that's only applicable at compile time
At which case you might as well just use ICloneable
I'm really wondering if it possible to combine working and studying in a job... I have almost finished my Bachelor in CS now, I love doing practical things, but I want some difficulty in it, though I'm not a PhD either so I'm not that smart
11:08
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is asking for an improve ment to working code. ask on codereview.stackexchange.com — Daniel A. White 40 secs ago
@skiwi I'm not a PhD :-)
You will learn far quicker on the job than you will staring at books.
@skiwi go for a PhD, or write a paper
and you could try contributing to any of the opensource stuff on CR
not that you don't already
@DanPantry But what do you learn? And is the job you do really fun?
@skiwi I learn pretty much everything, I am an information sponge.
I'd say as far as jobs go, it's pretty good. I work with some great personalities, and I make bank, and I'm largely left to my own devices and not micromanaged.
Your mileage may vary.
I still have the (perhaps naive) thought that money doesn't matter and that I want a job as enjoyable as possible
But I also still live with my parents, so in that sense I don't make much cost, so not much reason to worry about the salary (just yet)
@DanPantry But do you learn languages, frameworks, etc. or CS concepts? (neural networks, etc. etc. etc.)
11:13
you learn frameworks at work, maybe not languages
mainly specialised programmers do cs concepts like neural networks
@skiwi I learn languages and frameworks and whatever is directly necessary for learning my job, i.e, useful information.
Neural networks are not useful for the vast majority of programmers. They're cool, but my business doesn't care too much about them (yet).
Obviously, if you go into a field that studies AI, language processing or business intelligence, you may find more luck with neural networks.
@DanPantry I understand that, I'm probably quite asking for something, but I want to go more in that direction
As cool as neural networks are, they are such a niche topic that I would imagine most companies hiring for them would want people who already have experience in them
Probably only 1 out of 100 programmer jobs is really intersting in that sense though
While it is perfectly fine to study neural networks, I would also remember that you need core programming skills, too
11:16
@DanPantry Now to complicate things, it's not necessarily about neural networks, it's about any niche-concept that I would enjoy implementing, NN was just an example
Well, you can replace "neural networks" with "niche concept", the result will be the same
I took neural networks as example because I'm working with them now, and they are not straight-forward to understand, but with a bit of CS knowledge you easily get there
Unless you end up working at a company that works in <X Niche Concept> you probably won't end up learning it while working there
My company doesn't care much for neural networks (even though we do limited business intelligence), so it doesn't really come up
As far as I know NN right now are quite.. academic topics
Probably the best place would be some kind of research lab, but then for software (I think they are normally more meant for hardware?)
that's not to say you don't get thrown curveballs in companies not working for niche concepts
@skiwi yeah, but you'd need to intern somewhere like that first
11:18
I'm not exactly sure what @rolfl does, but looks like he works with quite some PhD-level colleagues, yet is more concerned about the actual implementation over at IBM labs
As @Quill said you'll likely want to intern at places that are studying those niche concepts. For example, Google.
or IBM
However, you'll want some background in actually programming before you get considered (more than likely)
I am not sure what I do either

Solution Developer?
11:19
I do that, sometime ^^^ ;-)
I am also a Problem Developer
2
User Antagoniser
I really need to start choosing my career path, it's apparently not easy ^^ I know I would be fine in any normal software dev company, but still
@rolfl But you didn't put that as title, did you?
You don't need to "choose a career path", necessarily
Remember your career path is just a path you take, and paths can change. It's the journey, not the destination
2 days ago, by rolfl
@skiwi - my official job title is a funny thing. IBM lets people choose their own titles. I am "Solution Developer, Cloud Innovation Lab"
But if I do nothing, then nothing will change unless a company really wants me, and then in 20 years I'll be still working a normal dev job
11:21
IBM could be Ms (from James Bond) rapper persona
Q t
@skiwi Most people are in "normal dev jobs". There's nothing wrong with "normal"
Now, if you want to work in a niche topic you better decide you want, but 99% of the time you probably won't jump straight into a job in that niche topic
Especially NN which are an evolving field
@skiwi With 3-5 years industry experience you could probably land a job somewhere that would let you upscale your role
^^^
After a few years experience you could go pretty much anywhere
@skiwi - there were 2 5-year stretches in my career I have mild regrets about.
11:23
@DanPantry Which is what Dan should be doing
I'm at 3 years in March - today is my 1 year anniversary at my current job :)
2
in both cases, it was where I became an "expert" in my language-of-choice, and I spent my days applying my expertise for adding features and performance fixes to the product we were building - the first was SQL, the second was Java.
In those 5 years stretches, I was "just working", and I was not personally "growing" or "extending myself".
@rolfl So you don't really enjoy "just working" But are rather learning?
No one enjoys "just working", it's soul crushing
Eh right, I just see what you typed, I think we got our terminology straight then
11:25
Unless you're perfectly content with just earning money
My challenge for people is to always be spending at least a quarter of their time learning new things, and applying themselves that way.
2
@DanPantry It's not wrong, it pays the bills, etc. That gets worth more and more as you get older and eventually have a family, that's true
@skiwi Yeah, that's fine, but you'd better have a goal. And when you have a goal, you aren't "just working".
Both 5-year stretches ended when I either quit, or after IBM bought my previous company, I did a massive "transfer" - which is essentially quitting.
@rolfl Did you already know this before you started working? If so, how did you try to solve it?
11:28
If you get to a point where you are more valuable to a company doing what you do because you are the product expert, than you are to the company as a "thought leader", then the fun part sort of leaves the work.

Q: Rock, Paper, Scissors; Why does if in statement not work?

user95349So i'm trying to make a Rock, Paper, Scissors program, but there is just one problem -- my if in statement doesn't seem to work. I have searched the internet on how to use if and in statements in python just to make sure i'm doing it right. It appears that, logically, my code makes sense... But w...

It's hard to describe, but when you see interesting things happening around you, and you can't get involved because you are committed to your current "maintenance" cycles, and you cannot convince your bosses to release you for at least some of the time, then it's time to find new jobs ;-)
But, to have that "leverage", you need to have experience.....
Getting the right connections at the start seems most difficult to me
... and you need to be good at your job, and you need to have put the years in to figure it out.
Getting your foot in any door is hard, yes.
I don't claim to have all required knowledge for that job without experience, but I need to be somewhere close so I can eventually get the job
11:31
@skiwi You've made plenty of connections here, by the by. I'm sure a lot of people - particularly cardshifter folks - would vouch for you.. though I don't want to speak for them, but I would.
@rolfl And I'm stuck trying to figure out where those doors are
Yeah, and it's a crapshoot, etc. I understand.
I have to run
Okay ^^ Don't be late
(I wonder if he ever walks)
I do walk, that's why I have 4 feet.
I like what I have at the moment. starting university while part time developing. I'll come out after three years with a degree and 3 years industry experience
there's not many doors in Australia though

Oh right, sorry
@Käsebrot The problem with the question is that it's not interested in feedback about all aspects of the code
also it's comparing two different pieces of code to another, which makes it hard to decide what's up for review.

PaltrI wrote my first Android UI application for a test job, but it was declined as employer said that he did't like "the code quality". He didn't specify what he meant. But I'm very interesting to know what's wrong with the code. Here is the link to Android Studio project: https://yadi.sk/d/Wcq8awrTn...

anyone have the programmer efficiency graph bookmarked?

@Malachi Which one? There are many.
@Phrancis no not that one. I am level one on almost all of that except for databases I might be a level 2 or 3, same with IDE I hate to admit that
@Zak times when a programmer is most efficient

My thoughts would be SO is more for how to solve the problem, Code Review is more for better ways to write your code. Example here is you've already solved your problem which is returning True / False based on upper / lower age and gender, so you aren't trying to solve a problem just do it nicer / better. That's my take on it anyway, seems like it could be a fine line in some cases. — RyanfaeScotland 42 secs ago

A: Code Review — Top User Swag!

PimgdAre the stickers going to be washable, that is, if I put a sticker on my mug, then put the mug in the dishwasher, will the sticker get damaged? If I slap a sticker on my Tesla (I don't have one, but you seem to suggest you can slap one on there with the image), and it rains, does the sticker get...

Can I drive my car with stickers through the carwash? Sorry, no because you can only stick them on a Tesla as it is clearly shown and you don't have one. — Heslacher 12 secs ago

@DanPantry I've had an awesome 3 weeks so far. Gotten a lot of zone-time in
Wait, Joel Spolsky used to be an Israeli Paratrooper. How have I not heard this before.
His name always reminds me of Noahs Island

> Sometimes I just can't get anything done.

Sure, I come into the office, putter around, check my email every ten seconds, read the web, even do a few brainless tasks like paying the American Express bill. But getting back into the flow of writing code just doesn't happen.

These bouts of unproductiveness usually last for a day or two. But there have been times in my career as a developer when I went for weeks at a time without being able to get anything done. - Joel Spolsky

Glad to know it's not just me.
There was a whole fortnight at the end of last year where basically *nothing* got done.
@Zak First two weeks of this year. That's why I'm not active on here any more as much

@DanPantry How did things work out with your colleague?
16:43
@Zak I'm not activ ehere often. what does that say? :p
@Phrancis still going lol
Yep
It's insane the amount of time I've wasted because of this crap
Is is new emails, or still old ones?
And you can't set up a rule and have the system automatically handle it?
I did set up rules, Outlook just can't keep up though
Wow.
16:48
That's dumb
It still says I have 484MB left of emails to update from the exchange server
Been trickling down very very slowly, was at 501 MB about 3 hours ago
Is there no way to nuke the emails before they reach you?
@DanPantry I'm trying to get the attention of one of our tech ops guys but have not had success yet
Well, considering each email is probably less than a kilobyte, from that screenshot you shared...
This is really more appropriate for codereview.stackexchange.com. — Morgan Thrapp 49 secs ago

Right, just the sheer quantity of them and the fact it has to fire the rules on each individual mail...
And it crashed again :(
Have you tried setting fire to it?
