maybe they want me as a developer instead though..

in either case... good work that doesn't need much supervision

Pimgd

@Legato this is true =/ but I'd still like to get 15 eur/hour

Vogel612

may I ask what you're getting right now?

syb0rg

@Pimgd That's barely more than I'm making... are you an intern?

Pimgd

tbh maybe sneering "that's front-end development for websites, and websites are stupid" throughout my study wasn't that clever

hmmh... 40 hours a week,...

Mast

@JoeWallis Do you happen to know how to use cProfile from the commandline while only taking the 10 or so most relevant functions? I've only found the one requiring to edit the script in the docs.

Vogel612

14:01

meh. specialization should give you better salary so there's that

Mast

@syb0rg Can't you increase the buffer size of your terminal in WinXP?

Pimgd

I'd say about 13 - 14 eur/hour?

Joe Wallis

@Mast I've not really used it from the command line, :/

Mast

You can't make it insanely big, but probably big enough.

@JoeWallis In that case wrapping would probably be a better idea.

Pimgd

It's low end market rate

Mast

14:03

It would also skew the results though....

syb0rg

@Pimgd Now you're earning as much/less than me, I sure hope you're an intern

Joe Wallis

Did >>file not work for him then? :/

Pimgd

Also a complete non-caring attitude towards money during your studies and early employment because, hey, parents pay everything, what is this thing called money for anyway

syb0rg

@JoeWallis It did

Pimgd

yeah, it's for food, but I can't eat that much food

Mast

14:04

@syb0rg Hey, that's another thing to think about. Try putting the def above main in a separate file. It'll get compiled to a .pyc, which tends to work a tad faster. Import that library from your test code.

@syb0rg Must have missed that, or did you forget to tell us? :P

syb0rg

I put a snippet of the output

Legato

Alright I found it, also this interesting java question I encountered once. Anyway, check out the highest upvoted answer here

Dex' ter

14:05

ohh, cool

syb0rg

@Mast @JoeWallis There, a ping so I know you see it ^^^

Pimgd

@syb0rg I could probably make more if I started marketing myself and agreeing to do crap I don't like

Like, I dunno, consulting

Mast

@syb0rg Shiit, that's slow.

Vogel612

@Pimgd meh. don't sell your soul for money. They don't pay remotely enough

syb0rg

@Mast Yep. Sadly I don't think I can get it under a second either without rewriting a library

Mast

14:07

@Pimgd Marketing yourself is hard.

Pimgd

Maybe I'd have better luck not using recruiters

because signing fees are apparently huge for companies

Joe Wallis

@syb0rg Do you know if the socket is called on each opc.write? If so you could possibly get a speed up by reducing the amount of writes. (I'm assuming the overhead is the killer just like it is in print)

Vogel612

@Pimgd recruiters are the bane of the job market

if you want a new job, update your careers resume and go hunting yourself

syb0rg

@JoeWallis I'm assuming so, but I haven't found concrete evidence in the API

Mast

        with open(str(args.range) + '.' + str(args.time) + '_1-iccp_harness.log', 'a') as f:
            for i in xrange(0, args.range):
                f.write('Osiris_Test_Data_' + str(i + 1) + ', realQTimetagExtended' +
                        ', %g, %s, %s\n' % (value_list[i][1], 00, time_list[i][1]))

Vogel612

14:10

almost any mid-scale company can use someone for IT

even small ones could use a helping hand with the digital mess

Legato

@Pimgd Did you look at it?

Mast

Pushing that together might work.

Vogel612

sidenote: there's two conversations going on here and I think we're blocking each other out

Mast

@Vogel612 All the good jobs appear to be hidden behind a wall of recruiters though.

syb0rg

@Mast What did you do?

Pimgd

14:12

@Vogel612 we are but that's better than sitting in silence waiting for it to pass... besides, I can handle two convos

@Legato yep, although for me it's the other way around, not getting paid enough =D

Mast

@syb0rg Nothing yet, I'd have to dive into the OpenOPC library how to get it done exactly.

Can you post a top 10 of the cProfile output sorted on tottime?

Legato

Yeah, it's a conceptual thing but it's about the justification of why you should get paid. I find quantifying what you've done helps, but I'm probs less experienced in total.

I really love that answer though.

Mast

syb0rg

@Mast In the question or here?

@syb0rg Just put it here.

@Vogel612 That's what I thought, but by lack of a better alternative one has to do what one has to do.

Unless you're a senior with a good network, of-course. That's the real trick.

I never was one for networking and I regret it a lot.

Welcome to Code Review, where it will take a few hours to answer your question, but we'll give a good answer rather than a quick "hi I didn't read your question but here's the first google result"

Dan Pantry

@uoɥʇʎPʎzɐɹC For example, this is a review that I wrote a while back. codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/113855/…

This took me about an hour.

Reviews that take any less time than that will be "your naming is weird" lol.

Mast

@DanPantry Even those can take an hour to write when extensive.

Jeroen Vannevel

2 final PRs handed in for the 2-week project I worked on. Time to relax now

Dan Pantry

Reminder as well (not to harp on) that every code review by necessity has to be crafted by hand. There's no right or wrong answer on CR, we can't just put your code through a program and have it automatically reviewed or Google the result to your review - because it hasn't been written yet.

We write it. For free. Free, Good, Fast. Pick 2. If you want Fast and Good may I suggest you pay someone to do it for you?

Why does that 2nd comment not have it's own line. Why is there a function called ak_unlikely in the first place. Why is the whitespace so random.

Before you ever begin a new project, you should really ask yourself "is what I'm going to do worthwhile"?

In a case like this, the answer is no

No, you should not rewrite malloc()
