Thanks!
lol hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Get cracking the code interview and start practicing!
Pretty Well, luckily I didn't do anything technical but they said if I'm chosen they'll send me a test via email to do. The primary language would be R.
That's awesome. I hope you get through to the next phase (and hopefully the job)!
Depends on the context of the method. Always do the least amount of work necessary to achieve the desired result. If the assignment just wants you to print the result to the screen then don't make the function return a bunch of data; make it print the result to the screen.
The method asks the user to type a number in decimal, which I need to use a char array for (and assume all characters are ascii representation of 0-9) which I'll use strtoul to convert to an int, and then I need to convert that number to binary and only print it
Factor that thinking into your algorithm.
I ended up using the dividing by 2 method and it seems to work fine
Brilliant, thank you very much. Weird how we've had the same issues and very similar initial solution!
Makes sense, thanks for sharing. Mine's just an excuse to have a pet project and learn serverless, so I wasn't going to fork out loads of money to access a barcode API.
Same - that's literally the reason I'm doing this, as well as do something properly with TDD. :)
Yeah we definitely thought about that but we're not sure if that would be ok license wise
Yeah...good luck with a Microsoft license. I haven't had to mess with their licensing before but I guess they only sell licenses on a per head basis instead of a per machine basis now?
Yeah exactly!
LLDB is open source and can do this, even runs on Linux. Just make a python script / batch file that does it. "lldb -c foo.dmp" and then "bt"
Thanks, this is really helpful. This is a career change for me (been an astronomer up till now), and I only realized in the last few months that part of my duties at my last job (last 2 years) fall under the devops umbrella to some extent (lots of scripting, CI with Travis/Circle, testing and deployment, writing software, some database work). Applied to this job and we had a few rounds of interviews and they seem to be OK with me learning on the job (and I'm going to be learning in my own time anyway to try to do as best I can). It's a junior position, as an aside.I'm not trying to be pedantic or mean, I want to help, but I need more direction. DevOps is an extremely overloaded term nowadays. Can you be more specific?
If you're not even sure where to start:
That's honestly just the basics of what I'd expect someone joining our team to be at least familiar with, and I'd hope for real-world experience with as much of that as possible. Honestly, probably all of that depending on the seniority of the position being filled.
Another good site to explore is: http://www.devopsbookmarks.com/
And honestly, depending where you're working, you might be staring down the deep end of cloud architectures, scaling, etc, which puts you square in the containerization/serverless/Docker/Kubernetes world. In which case, you can start poking around: https://landscape.cncf.io/
This is admittedly a lot of shit. Which is why I'll say again, you don't need to be an expert at all of this. Just start exploring, ask questions. For instance, if you don't know how to set up a reverse proxy (or even why you would want to), then start there. You can worry about the rest later.
