I've used Dell Outlet in the UK multiple times, never had any issues. Can't remember getting any late delivery dates but 2 weeks isn't too bad and May 30th is a bank holiday which has probably added a day to the estimate

You can't use PHP for this. PHP is a server-side language, at best it can generate the HTML with inline CSS for a graph but you will probably need a Javascript based solution for this.

#!/bin/bash is used to define a bash script. This should never be at the start of a PHP script but you can use #!/usr/bin/php By defining the language in the script the system will use the correct interpreter so for example without that line you would need to run: php myscript.php But with it set you can just use: ./myscript.php As mentioned above you can do this easily with PHP but creating another bash script to run the PHP script is pointless, just run PHP in the command line. You can read more about using PHP in the command line here http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.usage.php

Your ranges are wrong. You have added an extra 1% to the first 4 ranges. For example you say Repair Credits should be 3% but then the range includes number 2, 3, 4 and 5 which would be 4%.

Yes until you have actually worked in the industry everyone lacks experience but a degree at least shows you have been taught and tested to a certain level. I've seen quite a few times on here where people have counted since when they wrote their first "hello world" program as years of experience. It doesn't count unless its a year in full time employment. There is a reason many senior engineer jobs require 5 years experience, the saying goes it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at something. Assuming you work a 40 hour week that works out at around 4.8 years.

There are certainly jobs out there, obviously your lack of qualifications and experience will mean you won't meet the requirements for many jobs at medium-large companies but there will still be jobs. I wouldn't recommend going freelance again because with your lack of experience you would really benefit from being part of an engineering team so you can read and review their code and actually learn more from them. Now you just need to teach yourself. Use your time to work on personal projects that you can eventually show to a potential employer and to help you learn.

They really aren't. It's vastly cheaper to build a new structure designed with all the power, data and cooling exactly where you need it than it is to retrofit an old building. In the end the cost of the building is a lot less than the hardware inside.

I get upset when people think companies keep servers in bunkers and in top secret underground locations. 99% are just large buildings with some extra security.

Don't install anything. Raise it with your manager that a messaging platform may boost productivity in the office. Lync (Skype for Business) is decent or a more modern solution like Slack could work.

You have made a good start but be careful of falling in to the trap where all your websites are essentially the same. All the ones you have shared here are basically identical with varying colours and images. You also need to be careful with your assets, some of the images I have seen are way too big for their use and therefore take a long time to load, crop images to the size needed, use sprites to lower the number of http requests and reduce loading times and optimise them for web usage.

What are you trying to do? Cookies are used by websites to help identify you, you can't just add cookies and even if you did they wouldn't do anything.

You answered your own question. If I have a screen 1000px high and another 2000px high and I set an element so it's height is 50% one is going to be twice as big as the other. If you are going to use percentages for the container you need to scale the content inside as well to match.

The numbers I used were already converted to USD. To give you an idea in British £s most recruiters will quote around £18k as a BSc graduate but actual starting salaries can vary from as low as £16k with smaller companies to graduate schemes at big corporations topping out around £35k. Most will be towards the lower end not normally above £25k as a graduate.

Firstly the time spent learning programming before getting an actual job doesn't count towards years of experience almost everywhere so don't expect that to mean anything. I don't know what the demand for programmers or the job market is like in your area but in the UK a $33k starting wage is on the higher end of the scale even with a BSc or Masters degree. Considering you have only been with them for under two months you really don't have any good reasons why they should offer you more money, your qualification was practically done when they hired you so they likely used it to determine your pay anyway. Finally don't believe everything you read online, people love to make out they are doing better than they are and recruiters will throw all sorts of numbers around to get people interested.

Personal projects are great and not something that you can put together in a few hours but a well built out and planned project where its clear you have really put in a lot of time and effort. The one thing employers really like to see is someone who isn't a 9 to 5 developer who is going to go home at the end of the day and never look at any code or new technology. You need to show you are passionate and that you have the drive to continue learning in your free time, you don't have to be working on their code outside of work but if you refuse to keep learning and keep on top of new developments you will fall behind and that's not what you or your employer want.

If you are going to get a Phantom 3 at least go with the Advanced

I graduated from university 2 years ago and have been working for a FTSE100 company as a PHP developer since then. As BrightCandle said this isn't a career where you can learn everything in education and work for the rest of your life. I actually learnt a huge amount when I started working, just being around other professional developers, reading and reviewing code is a great way to learn. When I started I pretty much just wrote code, now I've found myself branching out more taking part in working groups to review and improve processes, working on continuous integration, providing input on OS migrations and more server side discussions and even helping out with some high-performance computing and big data projects we have taking place in my office. While many of these things had been touched on at uni I now understand these technologies much more than before so it really pays off to put yourself forward to keep learning as much as possible. You can also find developer conferences to attend and institutes like the BCS here in the UK put on regular talks and presentations from industry experts which are a great way to widen your knowledge and meet other IT professionals.

Take a look at your card switch statement. 9 out of 14 cases simply state if the random number is that number then set the card to that number. You can save a lot of code by saying card = cardRandom and then changing the value of card if cardRandom is not between 2 and 10. You would also be better off moving these cases into new functions. Then instead of: case 1: card = "Ace"; You could use a return like: case 1: return "Ace"; So then instead of the repeated "card = x" that you have now you could use: card = getCardValue(cardRandom); These changes would make the code a lot shorter and tidier.

The superhubs are awful for this. Turning it off and back on again should sort it

I'm currently working on using a RPi 3 to make a Magic Mirror and also adding voice controls using Amazon Alexa. With the IFTTT support built in you could do whatever you wanted. I'm also using Web Sockets so while this Pi runs the server it means others (Like Pi Zero) could act as 'dumb' mirrors and simply receive the data pushed to it from the server. This has the extra bonus that all connected clients are perfectly in sync with each other.

The others are correct here. You may have more faith in your code but its likely to be much simpler and more vulnerable than the code made available by many frameworks which has not only been written by much more senior developers but also analysed and tested by hundreds of other developers and the code subsequently improved over many years. Also don't forget Unit tests, untested code is never good in the long run and likely has mistakes in it.

That's incorrect. What you are looking to do is use an Ajax call. Using jQuery or pure JS if you wanted to you can get the form data and submit it to a PHP script in the background. The PHP script can then calculate the price and return this data which JS can then display on the webpage all without refreshing the page

Sorry I'm not from Australia but not many things in life that are cheap are good.

Extra patrols in your area? Visible police presence is going to help and you have proof of people trespassing and acting suspiciously on your property. The only other option would be to pay for a 24h monitored security system so if any alarms were triggered they will call the police.

Of course if someone is snooping around your property then call the police, you have CCTV of them acting suspiciously. Have you thought about getting a dog? It might not suit you but a dog can be a very good deterrent and their ability to hear noises outside would help catch them.
