Welcome to /dpt/.

# New & Revised /dpt/ Code of Conduct #
We want to ensure that the /dpt/ community, while large and diverse, remains
welcoming and respectful to all participants. To that end, we have a few
ground rules that we ask people to adhere to.

- *Be friendly and patient.*

- *Be welcoming.* We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports
people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited
to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour,
immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex,
sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family
status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.

- *Be respectful.* Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement
is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience
some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn
into a personal attack. It’s important to remember that a community where
people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of
the /dpt/ community should be respectful when dealing with other members as
well as with people outside the /dpt/ community.

- *When we disagree, try to understand why.* Disagreements, both social and
technical, happen all the time and /dpt/ is no exception. It is important
that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember
that we’re different. The strength of /dpt/ comes from its varied community,
people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different
perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a
viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to
err and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, focus on
helping to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.

its a WPM, so basically it will look like this (very unlikely he will actually get banned if he keeps his cheat private)
VAC scans for open process handles to the protected process
finds out what process opened said handle
check if its an unknown process or not (antiviruses do this shit all the time, so they have a "whitelist" of processes)
if its unknown, it opens the process, copies a bunch of diagnostics data which it sends off to valve
valve engineer opens your cheat on his own computer, sees that its a cheat and adds it's signature to the banlist

this is for EXTERNAL cheats (aka WriteProcessMemory/ReadProcessMemory)
the process is a lot different for cheats that inject themselves into the protected process

Where are the modern versions of books like SICP and The Little Schemer? The Dragon Book? Why does modern programming cultutr suck so much ass?

I'm looking for some Book recommendations, something out of the ordinary, that will really make you a beter programmer, or even just about compsci in general.

Speaking of which, in the SICP lectures it is stated that CS has a bad name; it's not about computers, nor is it a science. It's a mathematics based craft.

However, I'm at a university where most studens (and even one of the profs I've spoken to) think CS is a science, and it's about computers. (That prof msy just have been mad because I told him his classes should be removed from the curriculum)

It's about fucking time we switch this bullshit around where we cater to the biggest fucking retards around. I'd rather be associated with autistic nerds that these fucking people.

I have a bout a thousand swf files with one frame. What software can I use to convert them all into a png or jpg file?
Gnash seems to crash and that that kurst renderer 1.0 works but I have 1,000+ files here and im not gonna pay up for a task like this.
swefrenderer in sweftools seems to crash with it too.
Here's a sample
https://my.mixtape.moe/hbfxoc.swf

If you get a red "Width: 612 Height: 720" that's just the action script protection making the swf delete it-self because it wasnt loaded within the proper "viewer"

Android has /proc/xxx/mem (it literally is Linux), and iOS had more security vulnerabilities in 2015 than Adobe Flash.

I'm learning to program in Java right now. Please tell me if I'm right...

 
public class DogLicense {
   private int licenseYear;
   private int licenseNum;

   public void setYear(int yearRegistered) {
      licenseYear = yearRegistered;
      return;
   }

   public void createLicenseNum(int customID) {
      licenseNum = (100000 * customID) + licenseYear;
   }
   
   public int getLicenseNum() {
      return licenseNum;
   }
} 

DogLicense is a class.
Integers licenseYear and licenseNum are objects.
So is setYear() and createLicenseNum() creating methods??
Integer getLicenseNum() is an object?

>>52683697
DogLicense is a class
ints licenseYear and licenseNum are primitives
setYear(), createLicenseNum() are methods (setters)
getLicenseNum is a method (getter)

>>52683709
createLicenseNum isn't really a setter, just a plain method that could be part of a constructing the object

>>52683709
I haven't learned what a primitive is. How is that different from an object? I thought objects included instance variables

>>52682123
>What are you working on, /g/?
I've been on a train for 44 hours learning about assembly and making various programs to translate binary numbers into hex and decimal and back again all because I didn't have internet. I also made some other programs that I don't remember out of sheer boredom. Also read some of the works of Lovecraft and Sapho. Both are overrated but love craft was at least entertaining.

>>52683725
objects have instance variables (also called fields or member variables) which can be either objects or primitives

a primitive is a simple data type which on its own can fit in a CPU register and be operated on by built in CPU instruction. for example adding two ints would be done in a single CPU instruction. objects on the other hand can be much more complex and an object variable is an indirect reference to an object.

>>52683777
I see. Thanks for the help.

>>52683777

>which on its own can fit in a CPU register
Not necessarily. The "long" data type still exists on 8-bit and 16-bit CPUs, and requires multiple registers to fit it. It is nonetheless considered to be a primitive type.'

It would be easier to say that a primitive has no instance variables, and isn't an array.

>>52683541
Yeah, but first you have to get your program to run in kernel mode dummy.

>>52683370
>>52683414
>>52683449
I know I was wrong, I was just waiting for someone to tell me how it's done in Linux.
I still think being able to read other's memory is retardedly insecure though.

>>52682123
Here's a code sample :

void test () {
    int x[2];
    x[0] = x + 1;
    x[0][0] = 1;
    printf("%i\n", x[1]);
}

What I am trying to do here:
-Allocate an array that may contain both pointers and integers.
-Store a pointer to the second element of the array in the first element of the array.
-Use the pointer stored in the first element of the array in order to set the value of the second element of the array.
- Display the value stored in the second element of the array.

Now, GCC complains and refuses to compile my code because it believes that the first element of the array doesn't contain a pointer.
Is there a solution to my problem?

>>52683972
just... no.

>>52683920
>merely pretending
sure buddy

>>52684013
Ah, fuck me. Well, I'll just une an array that contains pointers to integer and pointers then.

>>52683972
Your code make the horrible assumption that ints and pointers are the same size. Also, C will not convert between pointers and integers without an explicit cast.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <inttypes.h>

int main()
{
    intptr_t x[2] = {0};
    x[0] = (intptr_t)(x + 1);
    *(intptr_t *)(*x) = 1;
    printf("%"PRIdPTR"\n", x[1]);
}

>>52682144
>also, zed shaw

He did nothing wrong, at least not compared to what came after.

>>52684024
Aaaaaand that's not a solution. I'm retarded.

>>52684034
I'm working on a virtual machine where pointers and integers are the same size. Thanks, Anon.

>>52683400
>Where are the modern versions of books like SICP
http://www.composingprograms.com/

>>52684046
>I'm working on a virtual machine where pointers and integers are the same size
That's still incredibly non-portable. (u)intptr_t is the type you should use if you want an integer that is guaranteed to be the correct size for a pointer.

>>52683920
>I know I was wrong, but I posted it anyway
Good job retard.

>Reading other's memory is insecure.
Well it's been that way for a long time, it can't be that bad can it.

How should I interpret it? Does C++ AMP need some sort of cleaning up, sort of like std::threads need to be joined/detached before main thread exits(otherwise they call std::terminate)?

Dear /dpt/.

I barely knows programming langs, as 90% of code I make refuse to work properly. The only things I can remember are basis of C++, since my university was forcing way too much programming related subjects and at every single one approach was basically "you can use any langauge you want, but we will be able to help you only, if you will be using C++".

Now, in near future, I might need to make some software for measurements control in laboratory (various devices connected to PC with mostly RS-232 or 482). What language would be best for that purpose, so I could try to start learn it right now?

I will probably run on some Linux distro and for longer periods of time (like few days straight).

Linux doesn't make you better at programming.

Hey guys, very new python learner. Using this code to project an imagine of a mountain range.

*

num = eval(input("How high is your mountain range? "))

>>52684684
What are you shoving into num?

>>52684704
>>52684705

So basically, it's making a little mountain.

if you enter 4, four stars will make a slope.
But it also needs to come back down but I'm
not sure how to do that.

The whole picture is that all of this happens in the destructor of std::threads, which checks that you've either done

thr.join()

or

thr.detach()

. In your case, this is after main returns because that's when the destructor is called, but it's not always the case.
>>52684477
This is RAII, the std::thread class wont let go of a thread implicitely so it's easier for programmers to keep track of them.
Nothing to do with UNIX.

Shitposting on the /dpt/ because my probability teacher is a dumbass and I learn more here.

Please, tell me what the probability of selecting 10 senators randomly and them being from different states. Then I'll tell you what he thinks the answer is.

>>52684936
62% ?

r8 my fizzbuzz

#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>

int main() {
    for (int i = 0;;i++) {
        !(i % 3) ? (!(i % 5) ? std::cout << "FizzBuzz" : std::cout << "Fizz") : (!(i % 5) ? std::cout << "Buzz" : std::cout << i);
        std::cout << std::endl;
    }
}

>>52685037
I got 60.7%, but close enough. you probably solved it sort like this

product of ( number of senators left not from picked state ) / ( number of remaining senators )

He explained it as the combined probability of events like
Pr(A^B^C^D...^J) = Pr(A|B^C^D...)Pr(B|C^D^E...)...Pr(I|J)Pr(J)
Which is correct. Starting at the end you get the Pr(J) is 1/50 because there at 50 different states to start with. The next is (49/50)*(1/99) because you have 49 states left to pick from and there are 99 senators left. And so on.

I told him that was inconsistent, as did most of the class, but he wouldn't accept that. So the total probability is 1.2%, which "makes sense".

>>52685120
i resolved it with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

with 10 senators and 50 sates, there 38% that at least two of them share a sate therefor there 62% that none of them share one.

def f(senators):
    p = 1
    for i in range(senators):
        p *= (50-i)/50
    p *= 100
    return p, 100 - p

print(f(10))

>>52685325
I'm so sorry.

>>52685310
isnt the goal to make it as short as possible?

>>52685360
No, the most important thing is either clarity or performance based on your application.

Making the actual code short isn't related to performance and makes your code harder to read and understand.

>>52685337
I have to start somewhere. I know the book isn't very good but it is better than doing nothing.

>>52684367
It depends upon the data rate and what you actually need to do.

If the data rate is high, or you need to do a lot of online processing, you may be limited by performance constraints.

Otherwise, you can use pretty much anything. You don't need to use the same language to capture the data and to process it.

Depending upon the communication, the capture part may be as simple as copying from a device to a file (no programming involved).

All other factors being equal, do as little processing as possible when capturing the data. That minimises the opportunities for failure.

If something goes wrong during off-line processing, you can fix the problem and try again. If something goes wrong during capture, you may end up losing precious data and having to re-run the experiment.

Low-level languages are less likely to suffer from heap fragmentation or gratuitous memory consumption causing the program to terminate due to memory exhaustion. But they provide other opportunities for abnormal termination (segfault, division by zero, etc) which would produce catchable exceptions in higher-level languages.

Wake the fuck up /dpt/

CS is a science and it is about computers.

"Science" is an open-minded way of looking at the world. Nothing is "superior" or "inferior" in the eyes of science. It only is.

"Computer" doesn't just mean an electronic digital machine. You can think of any physical process as a computer.

It's not a "science" in the sense of discovering the mechanisms by which the universe operates through generating testable hypotheses then testing them with experiments.

It's fundamentally a branch of applied mathematics.

Programming newbie here.
The only real programming skills I have are 3 years of C#, which was back in 2009, so I highly doubt I still retain any of those.

I was looking to get into C++ because I eventually want to consider going into vidya, and an anon once told me that if I'm going to do C++ for that reason it'd be wise to start with C and from there move on to C++ if I would feel like I need to.

How much of this is actual wisdom and is it a good idea to start with C rather than dive into C++ instantly?

>>52687356
>going into vidya
professionally or hobby wise?

>>52687450
Hobby mainly with friends. I'm currently studying system and network engineering, but if the situation ever arises where I could go pro I would take it.

>>52687296
it isn't a physical science but you could consider it to be a science in some sense depending on how you define science. like is human psychology a science? i mean you could form hypotheses and test them with psychological experiments and statistics. i guess you could say that computer science isn't a science in the sense that math isn't a science, but it still works with the very nature of the universe, albeit the non-physical aspects of it.

Literally never start with C before you go into C++

Stick with C#, and use Unity or Monogame. C++ is only a good idea for triple a games.

start with C++ straight away. Ctards never learn how to write proper C or use OOP (not that OOP is strictly required for a game). use raw opengl especially if it's for a hobby and you have time to learn.

>>52686601
>Nothing is "superior" or "inferior" in the eyes of science.
That's wrong, though.

A scientific study can show superiority or inferiority on a number of things, based on objective fact, such as the effectiveness of a drug, or a particular strain of a crop.

I use Lua for scripting on OpenWRT devices where python isn't a good option. It's a fun little language and will not take a lot of time investment for you to learn.

>>52687356
Yeah, go into C and go through basics. It will help you understand how do the different languages work and you might find out that you prefer it over C++ (a lot of vidya programming is done in C as well. And going from lower language to higher is way easier than going from higher to lower).

>>52687516
S/LUA/Lua/
It's a scripting language.
You can embed it into anything very easily.
And it's easy to write in.
If you're writing small things then you might use it as well instead of e.g. Python.
So ... Up to you :^)

>>52687553
They do though. And if you want anyone to learn proper C++ (which right now would be understanding perfect forwarding and magic with rvalues, smart pointers, lambdas, templates and other cool stuff introduced in C++11) from scratch, then I have no idea how you're going to explain them that that's the way they want to write.

This, as well as writing proper OOP, comes from experience and is an acquired skill. Knowing how all this works low-level can help one appreciate the tools and understand why they want to use them (or even whether they want to use them).

>tfw finally fixed the rolling hadoop outages

>>52687356
Honestly, the best thing you could do for yourself is to sharpen your skill with C#, since you already have experience using it.

C# will allow you to actually be able to do solo projects within a reasonable amount of time. There's also a massive amount of jobs for it presently, and the outlook is that it continues to grow.

That being said, going into C++ would also be great for vidya and your career in general. The reason why I suggest C# over C++, is that you can 'get into' C# stuff quicker, as well as the fact that you've already learned the basics. This will actually let you break the barrier that forces most potential programmers to quit; they feel like they can't *do* anything.

>>52687516
Lua isn't an acronym. It's Portuguese for moon.

I use it as a scripting language. If you (like me) build up a library of common functions and use the multitude of available luarocks it's ability as a general purpose scripting language rivals Python. Use the JIT, it's much faster than Pypy and the C FFI is fucking awesome.

That's outside the realm of pure science.

Neutron stars are not "superior" or "inferior" to black holes. Neither are apples "superior" or "inferior" to oranges.

These properties can only be measured in relation to something else.

Haskell is not "superior" nor "inferior" to Java. They are just systems that follow certain rules.

You have to go to applied science to see which one is easier to learn, runs in less RAM, etc. You are studying their relationship to human beings, compilers, or digital computers, not their inherent properties.

You're basically arguing about the semantic implications of the word 'science'.

Most reasonable people would disagree with this, but it cannot be proved to be true or false without agreeing on a definition of what the 'eyes of science' are.

Unless you're an OS developer or working on software maintenance already written in C don't bother and such with C++.

>>52688186
Some will say that C is better because it's super low level and gives you a better insight to how programming languages work.

While this is true, it's very difficult to do even the most menial tasks in C.

C++ gives you libraries and abstraction that will give you more options out-of-the-box to do things and interface with softwares and services.

>>52688186
in broad terms you could say that C++ is a higher-level language almost like C# whereas C is the bare minimum with primitive types, structs, control flow statements, pre-processor macros and functions

You are performing floating-point division and then assigning it to an integer. It will be truncated and so will not be the same value that you test in the if-condition. You are most likely stuck in an infinite loop and x is overflowing and wrapping around.

Ebin. Manjaro is shitware. 99% of the people who say that they used "Arch" and it broke were actually using Manjaro or Antergos.

Arch is relatively stable (especially compared to Gentoo, albeit it's a bit on the edge compared to some of the more hardened distros) and extremely minimalistic.

They're simpler than you'd think. They just represent (or 'point to') a place in memory. The place it points to usually has a value, or sometimes is the first of many values that are all related (in the case of strings and arrays).

>>52688810
I'd give you advice, but I primarily use C#, Python, and PowerShell, as I do lots of work with databases and sysadmin.

It was developed for scientific computing because mathematicians wanted to have a go at the whole computing thing without having to learn a specific, usually shitty, low-level language.

Are compilers really as bad as people say they are? I mean, like to make one.
The idea of making a compiler (even a stupid one that doesn't do much) has intrigued me for awhile, but I don't even know where to start. It seems like flex/yacc or something would be what I want to use but there's barely any documentation on how to use them.

>>52689967
Check this out:
http://llvm.org/docs/tutorial/LangImpl1.html

Series of tutorials implementing an LLVM frontend on a language of any choice (it showcases it on an artificial one).

If you want to know a bit more about how frontends work, you want to check out the theory of formal languages so that you know how pushdown automatas work and why are they used (as they are essentially how parsers work).

If you don't know much about the theory of formal languages then I'd say you should check it out as well - that will help you understand a lot what it is that flex/yacc do and why are they used.

>>52689844

It's for required magic.

>>52689967
It depends what you're compiling and your prior experience with all sorts of things, as well as what language you're implementing it in and what libraries/tools you're willing to use. If you want a simple compiler project, do a Forth or Lisp (without macros, eval, etc. at first) compiler. You won't need Flex or Yacc to lex/parse them but you can go with all sorts of targets (another high level language, C, assembly, LLVM IR, JVM bytecode, etc.) depending on how much time you're willing to invest, your skill level, etc.
If you want to make a "real" compiler then I'll definitely suggest learning a functional language (one of the MLs, Haskell, or anything remotely related to these) because a lot of what you'll be doing will deal with recursion and tree transformations.
OCaml is a great first choice, since it's distributed with its own version of lex and yacc (ocamllex/ocamlyacc) and has really good alternatives available if you don't want those (sedlex, ulex, menhir, as well as some less conventional parser combinator libraries) plus it's got good bindings to LLVM and official documentation on their website.
If you're not interested in using FP but still want a language that's pretty good for compilers, C# or D are nice (although I'm not sure of the state of their lexer/parser generator libraries) since they make everything a bit safer than in C or C++ (and speed of the compiler doesn't need to be micro-optimized 99% of the time). If you want to go a bit lower level, Rust has a lot of useful features too and pretty good LLVM bindings.

Looking for a project for this semester. I told my Data Structures professor I knew all the shit and he said all I had to do is one of the assignments and I could be excused from the rest of class. Ideally he wants something heavier in theory like parsers, machine learning, advanced algorithms and data structures, etc.

So what should I do? This should clock in around 4k-5k lines based off a previous project I did in half a semester which was 2.5k. Will probably use C, Lua, Go, C++ or some combination thereof.

20 is young for a woman, but middle aged for a language.

desu compilers as with most large projects are more time consuming than brain consuming. Minimum compiler you are going to need for a minimally featureful algebraic syntax language is 10k. Depending upon the amount of free time you have and how fast you work it might take you months. Are you ready to wake up every day for one to two months and program for at least 4 hours a day?

C is like... 45 or 46. It's middle aged. It will live another 45 or 46 years before humanity kills itself with nukes or some shit.

>>52692467

Brotip:

(define (square x) (* x x))

Use lambdas when you want to pass anonymous functions as arguments to other functions. Otherwise, just use the simple sugar syntax.

>>52692611
Do you already know some programming languages? If so, just start doing it. Feel free to start off on sites like Freelancer or Upwork, although you'll quickly outgrow those if you're in the first world and you're any good.

I know you do. You just lack the motivation or discipline to do them.

>>52692622
Nah m8. C is old. I don't think it's going anywhere for the foreseeable future, but the language shows it's age unless you use C11, which I think is the language morphing into the universal systems language. It might live another 20-30 years. I hope so.

>>52692677

>unless you use C11
I use C11 exclusively unless required to use a different version.

>which I think is the language morphing into the universal systems language
This would probably be good. I just wish we had language-defined preprocessor constants for determining if a system is little/big endian, and other factors, instead of leaving the compiler to decide about it.

>It might live another 20-30 years
I'll give it longer. All of the libraries we depend on every day are written in C.

/dpt/ is so dead on a friday night

what color nail polish will improve my programming?

>>52692682
Define newcomer. What skills do you have?

>>52692818
Well you never know when something that can take place of C will pop up. It's not even difficult to do, C is a simple language. It just has millions of line of code written in it.

I'm in development of Em (E minor) right now. Maybe it's popularity will spiral out of control and it will replace C.

>>52692894
Well what skills do you have? Knowing C++ or Java really isn't much of a skill. Have you developed a large project on a team before? Do you know how to use tools commonly used in Industry like Node.js, a database, etc, Or have in-depth knowledge of a specific area, like writing DSL?

>>52693078

No drugs that are not prescribed. Prescribed drugs should be taken as necessary. My implication was that one should not program under the influence of recreational drugs, or to use performance enhancing drugs as a crutch for programming (I have heard of a few people who rely on amphetamines to be able to program).

My secret to everything is meditation to alleviate stress and obtain focus, and a diet high in protein. Eat a dead animal every day if you can.

>>52693007
>What are Em's features?
Static, but slightly stronger typing than C (castings allow you to violate it, but only explicitly)
Built-in data structures
Threads and coroutines
OOP with multiple inheritance, multiple dispatch, and operator overloading
Closures
Minimal runtime overhead compared to C

>>52693229
Oh shit, forgot to add generics. They mainly operate by code generation, but they are type safe, like type classes from haskell.

>>52692616
Why not Haskell?

>>52693229

>minimal runtime overhead compared to C
C only needs a stack. How minimal are we talking?

>>52693261
Good luck trying to do everything with just the stack. Malloc has pretty big runtime overhead

>>52692622
C is old. Really old. Granted it's still one of the better languages available, but in terms of language-years it's one of the oldest still out there.

>>52693322
how will you improve it? will you pre-malloc a large block of memory like how java does it?

>>52693229
>coroutines
>multiple dispatch
>Closures
These can never be made efficient enough as a high level language concept to be worth it for a systems language.
Efficient closures and coroutines require assembly (because you need direct control over the stack and what context/registers you need to save - you don't need to save all registers for every procedure for example, so a general solution is suboptimal) - or equivalent low level primitives like in Forth where you can compile in execution tokens directly into the word definition, but then it's not exactly convenient syntax anymore.

Am I losing my mind, or does Python have a function that can take all characters except those you define?

>>52693399
>using python unironically
Yes you are losing your mind.

>>52693412
I am silly

>>52693399
Why can't you just filter them?

>>52693399

if x in "abcd":
    print(x)

This will only print x if it's a, b, c or d.

>>52693441
Fuck yes thats how it worked, thank you. How did I forget this simple shit.

>>52693394
Multiple dispatch is compile time
closures a syntactic sugar for class creation, another compile time
coroutines can be done with setjmp. Yeah not super efficient, not bad. If you consider the benefit.

>>52693341
Lol, prolly. Em is C's minor compliment, that's why.
