LSB Steg data hiding!
Only works with PNG rn, but you can hide any file you want(and get it out).
Pretty fun stuff.
Any feedback would be appreciated :)

Thanks to the anon who helped me earlier with the second method.

Converting to and from hex doesn't work but I think I'd have to rewrite it to support that.

# convert a decimal to a given base
def d2b(dec, base):
    stack = []
    result = ''
    while dec > 0:
        rem = dec % base
        dec = dec / base
        stack.append(rem)
    while stack:
        result += str(stack.pop())
    print result

# convert the number back to its decimal representation
def b2d(num, base):    
    result = 0 
    for n in str(num):
        result *= base
        result += int(n)
    print result

d2b(412,6)
b2d(1524,6)

I didn't know a PDF could be executed

Nothing, I haven't been working on anything for ages, I just shitpost in /dpt/.

Why do people use for (;;) instead of while(1)?

>>52240707
JS and Lua can both be embedded within PDFs.
Many PDF viewers disable these 'features' for obvious security reasons, but the standard technically supports it.

for(;;)

is less characters than [code[while(1), so the resulting source code is cheaper on hard drive space.

Threadly reminder that you should not refer to the act of programming as coding. It is improper and makes you look like a 16 year old

You are a programmer, not a coder

Software Alchemist is GOAT
Developer is okay
Magician is okay
Software Magus is okay
Software Engineer is okay
Software Architect is okay
Code Guru is okay


Archmage is reserved for only the most senior of programmers

Writing in HTML and CSS is not programming, therefore it should be refereed to as designing

How are prime numbers a meme?

I understand the reasoning behind negative numbers because it's impossible to have, physically, a negative amount of items. You can add items to an empty list, you can't take away items from an empty list.

But prime numbers? You can physically have a prime number of things. If I have 7 apples I can only share them evenly between 7 people or 1 person.

Functional programming? What's that?

pub fn write_vga(buf: *mut u16, nbytes: usize) {
    let mut dst: usize = VGA_ADDRESS;
    let mut src: usize = buf as usize;
    let end: usize = src + nbytes;

    while src != end {
        let dptr = dst as *mut u16;
        let sptr = src as *mut u16;
        unsafe { *(dptr) = *(sptr); }
        src += 2usize;
        dst += 2usize;
    }
}

Generated assembly:

Help me /g/ please, I'm trying to learn lua here and the shit makes no sense

I've defined two functions
function norm (x, y)
return (x^2 + y^2)^0.5
end
function twice (x)
return 2*x
end

They work just fine, then I call the functions like so

n = norm(3.4, 1.0)
print(twice(n))

The output is 7.0880180586677

Which also works, my problem is the question in the book afterwards

Exercise 1.1: Run the factorial example. What happens to your program if you
enter a negative number? Modify the example to avoid this problem.

Now it will output the same result which is
7.0880180586677

I don't see how inputing a negative value and it coming out as a positive is broken, did I skip pre-algebra or isn't that how exponents work?

Confirmed for bullshit. Compression varies wildly from file to file.

not sure what you mean by this, you can install linux on any machine. When I bought my first W8 laptop I just formatted the drive and dual booted xubuntu / pirated windows 7. Also you gain 30+ GB by deleting the default W8 partition table.

>>52241788
It does vary, but those are typical compression values for my test files. It works by extracting high-level symbols from the source data string.

>>52241788
This, text for instance, always compresses well because it has a very small amount of possible characters.

>>52241780
If you think Haskell is useless because of the video of Simon Peyton Jones titled "Haskell is useless", you need to watch the video, because it's obviously tongue-in-cheek unless you're literally autistic. He's saying that Haskell started off "useless but safe" and is moving towards the useful but safe "nirvana" by adding more and more side effects, while most languages have started off "useful but unsafe" and are also moving there, just along a different axis.

Haskell is just as capable of producing a program that "does something" as any imperative language is.

I'm learning win32 C++ programming from Petzold's book, am on page 86 right now and decided to start on a piece of what would later be a calculator.

case WM_PAINT:
        {
            PAINTSTRUCT ps;
            RECT rect;
            HDC hdc = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps);
            mathFunctions calc;
            int length;
            double sum = 0;
            WCHAR buffer[40];
            WCHAR msg[] = L"Your answer is: %f\n";
            
            GetClientRect(hWnd, &rect);
            sum = calc.add(1, 2); // later use buttons for input
            length = swprintf(buffer, sizeof(msg), msg, sum);

            TextOut(hdc, 0, 0, buffer, length),

that answer is fucking stupid.

it's because in a while(1) you have to check the status of the condition inside the while each time it completes a cycle, whereas for(;;) it's an empty loop, and doesn't check for shit, which makes it slightly faster in some ( very old ) compilers, in most compilers nowadays the difference would be unnoticiable.

>insistence on purity
while it might not be as immensely beneficial in Haskell as in other languages, forcing functional purity can aid the compiler's type checker in deciding what kinds of type checks can be skipped at runtime (which is a huge performance gain for dependently typed languages)
the default laziness is a pretty big problem for a lot of kinds of code and a pretty good solution for a lot of other kinds. it's a different paradigm, and while it's not optimal for a lot of tasks, it's not without its uses

2: Is python in you PATH? Path is a system environment variable, that determines the locations that the operating will look when you try and run an application on the command line, without explicitly specifying it's location. If it isn't, reinstall and tick the box in the installer to put it there. (Or manually edit it yourself, but if you didn't know to do this, you'll probably fuck it up somehow)

It's like writing an essay. Make an outline on paper. Then draw out the skeleton in your text editor of choice. By skeleton I mean your basic functions. Like if you were gonna make a CLI based calculator your skeleton would look something like.

//Gets the calculator input
func getLine()

//parses the input into RPN
func parseLine()

//parses the RPN and returns the mathematical result
func parseRPN()

//does what a main usually does
funct main()

Then you'd write your actual functions.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as "the only real Dev language" is in fact, the Node.JS runtime environment or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Node+JS. Node is not a language unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning JavaScript runtime made useful by the JavaScript core syntax, parser utilities and vital language components comprising a full Dev language as defined by Alan Turing and his great descendant Steve Jobs.

Many computer users run a modified version of the Node runtime in their browsers every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of JavaScript which is widely used on servers today is often simply called "Node.JS" and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the JavaScript language, developed by Netscape. There really is a Node, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the Dev language they use.

Node is the runtime, the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the JavaScript commands that you run. The runtime is an essential part of a Dev language, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete Dev language. Node is used in combination with the JavaScript programming language: the whole system is basically JavaScript with Node added, or Node.JS. This so-called "only real Dev language" is really just a distribution of JavaScript.

By the time your 'inner monologue' is going on the brain has already finished processing, that's just reflecting over what you already did.

Not thinking is meme, unless you're dead.

I'm so sick of people talking out their arse.

Hey /dpt/ need some programming advice.

I'm porting my anime manager to Emacs. The thing is, Emacs doesn't seem to have any good SQLite bindings. The main problem with this means no prepared statements, meaning I need to do string sanitizing by hand. I'm trying to figure out the right approach to this.

1. Pipe input directly to SQLite subprocess. Need to sanitize strings by hand.
2. Use a foreign function interface to call SQLite's C bindings. Adds two extra dependencies and potentially unstable and unfun FFI play.
3. Outsource everything outright to a Python server process. The Emacs part basically becomes a super thin client that proxies input and output to/from the server process. Needs the server program as an extra dependency.
Ideas?

Comments and whitespace slow down compilation and add bloat.

"Writing is nature's way..."

Is this guy a retard?
Languages are a human construct (and often a very crude one). What you can think, model and conceptualize span a vastly large space than what can be accurately and coherently transcribed in various linguistically constructs - it's because of the weakness of the language (either objectively, as in certain concepts simply can't be coherently defined, or because you lack the linguistic capacity), not because of 'nature' or your ability to think.

"Thinking is the ability to manipulate language..."
No, that's called communicating or being a writer.
You can think just fine without even knowing any language at all since humans start out without knowing any language, it's something you have to learn.

>>52244024
>not realizing that /g/ is a meme
Technology is literally a meme.

>>52243666

Yes. It's a pain, but you can do it. Make an empty/Makefile project, tell it to run make or mingw32-make (if you're using MinGW, the executable name will be mingw32-make, but I have renamed the executable to make.exe because a couple of build scripts will bitch anyways if you use an alias), and set up the Makefile the way you would normally do so. Now if you hit build, it'll run make, run gcc, and you'll be all set. This won't play well with intellisense though, so at this point, it's more worth it to just not use Visual Studio.

Had an idea for a language for powerful lazy list processing

# example: prints
# *
# **
# ***
# ****
# *****

main = putLn(stars)
stars =
 1 to(5)
 map(n ->
   1 to(n)
     map('*'))
 join("\n")
 stars

Just got the semantics realized so I'm gonna work on formalizing the syntax and beginning the parser soon.
It would have a type system similar to whats seen in functional languages (the whole thing is really just sugar for function composition if you break it down far enough) but slightly different. Still uses unification from Hindley-Milner

He seems to be talking about communication, i.e conveys ideas to other people. But that's a completely separate thing and actually requires a different set of skills (good grasp of the language, culture and social customs).

you misinterpreted what he's talking about. he's talking NOT about communication, but forming clear ideas in your own mind, and proving them before yourself using math. Intuition is wrong most of the time (just look at traditional religious logic for an easy example), that's why mathematical logic is the only way to prove things.

In 10 years, if you can't do what I'm recommending you do now, that's okay. There will be droves of prepared students ready to take your job.

Languages being "good" is pretty tough.
Most times you add a positive feature, you introduce a negative one somewhere along the way. Even the safest, most amazing and modern features have downsides (they're fucking complicated!).
Therefore, you have to look at if a language is "the right tool for the job", which is pretty much impossible to measure. A good way to do so is to see, through past projects, how well a language accomplishes its goal.
Usually language goals include performance, ease of use, safety and modularity, but not all languages try to follow these principles (which isn't to say that they are objectively inferior).
Another tricky thing is that the mere lifetime and use of a language can make it "superior" simply due to community support, libraries, compatibility and maturity. Thus languages like C++ and PHP that, while they have their strongpoints, are not necessarily the best languages that could have been made for how they're used; however, their widespread community adoption makes it hard to find a good enough reason to use another language. And this certainly has merit.

>SSD only cut down boot times to 8 seconds instead of 30 seconds

And starting every program fucking instantly.
I just put in an ssd in an old (5-6 years) x58/nehalem machine, which only has sata 2 ports so can't even fully saturate ssd top speeds.
But the difference as still night and day - upgrading cpu, ram or gpu are most of the time not even noticeable except when taxed in games or demanding programs - but the faster disk is just amazing. Used to take 2-3 mins from boot to starting and loading a project in VS2013, now it's less than 20 seconds.
Wanting to quickly open up some image in Paint.NET or Gimp was always a slow ass 3-4 second delay, now instant.
Basically opening up any program, settings manager, configuration, etc is instant and just makes everything feel like a 100 times faster computer.
And booting up virtual machines is crazy fast now, used to be pretty fast (5-10 seconds) but now basically instant.

You can have a totally different workflow when things start up this fast, it's like having a fast compiler and build for a language, it enables a new way of working, bind compile/run to a key and be back to coding instantly if things work (or didn't work)

Does not require language, and definitely not a human written or spoken one.

It's still the same 'intuition' only transcribed to yet another abstraction, inevitably losing something in the process.
Direct brain to brain interfacing with a true shared consciousness would be far superior to trying to write things down in terribly inadequate lingistic models (including mathematics btw).
