[Notes] Soft Skills: The software developer's life manual

Page 47

This kind of mindset is crucial to managing your career, because when you start to think of yourself as a business, you start to make good business decisions.

Page 52

Every step you take without a clear direction is a wasted step. Don’t randomly walk through life without a purpose for your career.

Your big goal should be something not too specific, but clear enough that you can know if you’re steering toward it or not. Think about what you want to ultimately do with your career.

Ideas that you can use for hackathons, competitions and research.

Ideas

I have collected and moderated these ideas from various public sources and put into one place so that problem solvers and solution developers may find inspirations. Because I wish to update it regularly, I have setup as a single page wiki. You may try these ideas on hackathons/competitions/research; some are quite intense problems and some are not. Many of the problems were prepared keeping Dhaka/Bangladesh in mind, but of course can be applied to just about any underdeveloped/developing and sometimes developed countries.

Instructions on how to fix npm if you've installed Node through Homebrew on Mac OS X or Linuxbrew

OBSOLETE

This entire guide is based on an old version of Homebrew/Node and no longer applies. It was only ever intended to fix a specific error message which has since been fixed. I've kept it here for historical purposes, but it should no longer be used. Homebrew maintainers have fixed things and the options mentioned don't exist and won't work.

I still believe it is better to manually install npm separately since having a generic package manager maintain another package manager is a bad idea, but the instructions below don't explain how to do that.

Fixing npm On Mac OS X for Homebrew Users

Installing node through Homebrew can cause problems with npm for globally installed packages. To fix it quickly, use the solution below. An explanation is also included at the end of this document.

a Mersenne Twister implementation in javascript. Makes up for Math.random() not letting you specify a seed value.
/*
I've wrapped Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura's code in a namespace
so it's better encapsulated. Now you can have multiple random number generators
and they won't stomp all over eachother's state.
If you want to use this as a substitute for Math.random(), use the random()
method like so:
var m = new MersenneTwister();
