@Jacob without reading the doc though, I'd say there is no trick here. All linked lists are basically the same. Two main types are singly linked lists and doubly linked lists.

@ThisIsChris Here's the PDF so you don't get docxed

@Jacob lol thanks

yep as it says start by implementing a linkedlist. Yes there's only one real way to do this so I think you can use the one from class here. It doesn't seem to be the main point of the homework assignment. It's just a starter step because the other questions then go on to require you to start adding methods to this linkedlist.

Thanks

Has anyone here heard of or have any experience with a company named Revature? If so do you think it's a good place for a recent STEM graduate to gain experience?

@GDoctor I've seen similar programs help people who have poor interviewing skills get their first job. They are not really an employer, their are an employment firm. They take candidates who are already qualified to work, help them build a resume and little portfolio, and teach them a 5 minute presentation to give at interviews that they find for you. In return, they take aassive chunk of your first few years salary. Generally since you're already qualified these places are just capitalizing on your poor social skills. That being said, I've known even PhDs who this kind of thing because they just absolutely need that hand-holding through the networking part.

I don't need interviewing skills, I'm more interested in work experience and training.

@GDoctor Sounds like you need an internship. I suggest trying to find startup companies in your area and just contacting them, they often have more work than they can handle and will gladly hand you something to work on, they also tend not to advertise well. The best known and best advertising companies usually only have a few slots (and to be frank big megacorps would rather fill their internships with "underprivileged kids" because they need the progressive line item more than any actual work the interns produce).

This will sound like a strange request, but does anyone @here have administrative access to a Facebook page with on the order of several tens of thousands of followers or more? I would have a favor to ask of such a person.

Obviously one you're willing to let me know you administrate.

Can anyone help a brother out with a computer build? It's not a passion of mine but I still want to know my machine. Don't game but I wouldn't want one that couldn't keep up if I wanted to. Just want a solid desktop. I'd be willing to spend anywhere from $500-$1500 or so (not including peripherals) so I'd be interested in what you guys have to say. There are just so many options out there that I just don't know how to get a good balance of value and necessity.

http://www.logicalincrements.com/ is a good resource for that

I've been out of the loop on tech work since getting laid off 6 months ago. Still, my own personal brand preference is as follow: ASUS for motherboards, EVGA for graphics cards (or ASUS if you prefer their cooler style), it's hard to go wrong with RAM and Corsair's stuff was decently reliable. Intel and AMD CPUs were at functional parity and any hemming and hawing was over single digit percentage advantages in specific areas like gaming.

Get a microATX or ATX form factor motherboard and corresponding case. If you try to go smaller (miniITX) it gets tougher to build.

Don't skimp on power supplies, get a name brand like Corsair, Seasonic, or EVGA. I'd stay away from Seasonics highest wattage PSUs because they seemed to be DOA more than chance, but their mid range (750w) were reliable.

80 plus ratings for PSUs tell you how wasteful/efficient they are. 80 plus bronze is a basic, good level of efficiency, but I would aim for gold.

If you can give your PSU some headroom that's good for efficiency. For instance, with your PC chugging along at 100% CPU/GPU processing power and only pulling 80% of the PSU capacity. This website is a good resource for estimating usage https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator

Get an **NVMe** SSD in M.2 form factor, at least 256GB, for your installation of Windows (or Linux?). Samsung and Intel make good ones. You probably won't need the Samsung Pro series. Evo is fine. Do NOT forget to install the drivers from them, you don't want to miss out on the full speed potential.

Spinning disk storage is cheap, you should be able to get a 4TB 3.5" hard drive for less than $90

When I was last working, the GeForce GTX 1060 was the best value in graphics cards. They have since replaced the 1070/1080 with 2070/2080 upgrades and I'd be surprised if they didn't roll out the rest in the next couple months.

@Mick

I can't speak for AMD/ATI Radeon graphics cards because they have such small market share I never got to mess with them much. There's bound to be somebody who knows more and can tell you how they are competitive with Nvidia GeForce cards...

Also, avoid craigslist PCs. Everyone on there tries to advertise their old PCs as great gaming rigs. They're usually overpriced and very outdated.

<@&435155896780324864> How does my schedule look this quarter?

@Jacob all fundamental topics. Learn them well!

I'll try! 😳

@wolfwood Thanks for the suggestions.

I definitely wanna go SSD, willing to pay for it.

@Mick $500-$1500 is an enormous budget range. $500 would be a very budget desktop, not doing more than basic gaming. $1,500 would be a beast that would shred everything on max settings.

As far as AMD graphics cards, only cards worth it from them right now are 580 and maybe 590. The Vega cards are power hungry and overpriced unless you get them with a blower cooler, which you probably don't want.

Personally, I just upgraded my PC this Black Friday. I went with an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X and an EVGA GTX 1070 as far as CPU and GPU. I felt those were the best value, but that 1070 was heavily discounted and had a rebate. I would not pay full price for it, but at the price I paid, it was a great deal. Personally, I wouldn't pay above the low 300s for a GPU.

Anyone @here have experience with running Google ads on their website?

<@&435155896780324864> can someone explain to me what entry level programmers do?

@Jacob Fix other people's disgusting mistakes.

you mean like dig through hundreds of lines of code and look for the part where they accidently put an "1" instead of an "i"?

@Jacob Yup, and hopefully eventually learn to leverage CTRL+F to do it faster.

In my case, the fixing meant deleting and redesigning an entire website.
