I have a few interviews with companies in Amsterdam lined up in the next couple of weeks. Problem is that I don't really know what a decent salary is around there and what the cost of living is since in from a third world country where all salaries sound huge compared to what we get.

Any advice regarding entry to mid level back end engineer salaries?

Honestly fuck C++.

That's all.

Honestly fuck Android development and gradle. If I have a perfectly fine build from 6 months ago I expect it to still be working when I need to update two lines. FML

Any of you devs have your Masters degree? How did it influence your career?

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I published a pretty small app about a year ago that was just a small financial widget for your home screen. Recently I added more in app functionality and graphs but left the widget part unchanged.

For some reason I am now getting even less installs and my active user count has dropped. Any idea why people who used it in the widget only days would suddenly leave?

I'm looking at replicating to the Netherlands. Would any devs on here be able to tell me what the living cost is like and what a decent salary is for a new graduate with a bit of experience?

Is it normal to feel uneasy about how the technical part of an interview went. I mostly knew my stuff but there where some questions that came up that were nowhere near what was stated to be necessary before the interview or that I claimed to know.

I am looking to create a cool little 2D platformer for Android. The thing is I've mostly only worked on utility applications and haven't had to deal much with animations and physics etc. I feel like unity is over the top but I don't really know of any proper alternative. Any fellow Android devs out there who could recommend a library or framework to use that is relatively light weight?

Anyone know how to use a proxy for a web crawler written in native Java for Android. I have a bug in an app in production that only surfaced after being used for a couple of days and I urgently need to fix it.

HELP!!!

So I finally released my first app on the play store. Well actually it's more of a widget to keep track of stock prices, exchange rates, crypto etc.

Would really appreciate some feedback or suggestions.

Wrote a CLI for downloading youtube videos to get more comfortable with using API's.
Would appreciate some feedback. Still have a lot of work to do on the validating user input side so try to enter the correct inputs.

A while ago I saw a post about a website that gamefied the learning of vim. Anyone know what it is called?

1. Finish my degree
2. Get good job
3. Leave current shithole of a country
4. Marry girlfriend

Never underestimate the power of a misplaced static in your Java to totally fuck you over.

I was busy with my computer science project for the semester where we have to implement a Sudoku solver without backtracking by using graph theory.

So there I was writing my data structure for the grid when for some reason all the cells were initialized with the value 8.

After a whole night of debugging I was about to start over when I realized I had made my array static.

And boom, it works. WTF!!!!!!!

Any devs from Dubai/UAE here? Was wondering what working there is like

Any ideas for a python challenge that doesn't require external libraries

Automating everything is so satisfying.

Anyone else have experience with this problem. I'm trying to boot antergos onto a second partition on my hard drive. Can't seem to find anything that works on SO.

Well apparently my compression algorithm actually made the file bigger. Back to the drawing board I guess?

Finally left windows completely for Linux. Currently running elementary OS and it is the best choice I ever made

Why are computer science lecturers so fucking incompetent?

Just give the bloody assignment in a way that makes sense and make sure the that your own code is correct.

FUCK
