I'm trying to learn Qt. First I tried out a Python wrapper for it and it was a total waste of time as there is absolutely no doc and good luck figuring out what maps to what. Then I reluctantly tried out C++ and it's even worse. What IDE should I be using? VS doesn't even work with the regular version of Qt, had to get a different version specifically for microshit and I can't even generate a new project without errors out the ass. I can't be assed with manually compiling and linking shit, I want something that just werks so I can start learning Qt. Anyone have any tips?

Would writting something to edit metadata on an mp3 file be difficult? I basically want to run through my library, parse the year out on the directory names and use tag the mp3 files inside with that year.

I don't know how to deal with directories or mp3 metadata though, so some utilities are helpful on where should I start to learn what I need to learn. I'd be using C preferably, or Python.

Regex findall returns a list of matched strings, or a list of tuples if your regex contains multiple groups. You can't convert an entire list to an integer, but you can iterate over the matches.

In this case your list is ['56630'], so you have to print

int(yourmom[0])

>>51569343

Tried that with the msvc version and it couldn't detect the compiler. Might go back and get a different version of Qt later but I'm pretty salty right now.

Is it stealing if I go to the app store, see the description on what the application does, and do those features with c++ coding? Beginning coder, but I want to make applications that cost money at the application store so that I don't have to buy it.

>>51569297
That's a good candidate for python. Look up eyeD3. It's a library for python that allows you to work with mp3 files very easily and intuitively.
"python mp3" is a good search on Google as well (try out any stackoverflow result that may pop up)
Working with files and directories in python is not painful at all. It could take you less than 30 minutes to get all you need to know about all that.
Lastly I'd suggest using Pycharm cause it makes it easier to 'install' libraries, plus it's a really good IDE (and it's free)
Summing up: install pycharm, use it to get eyeD3, start coding. Have fun

follow up question:

best books/resources for an "intermediate" programmer on python?
preferably terse

>>51569551
Okay, I think I found an easier way to do it.

You're trying to get the port code, right?

The module that you're using returns a list when you call the connections(type='udp4'), returns a list of pconn objects with the following fields:

fd
family
type
laddr
raddr
status

So you can do something like:

con = d.connections(kind='udp4')
for connection in con:
            print connection.laddr[1]

And it will print what you want without having to do regex bullshit.

I've decided that my first project will be a creative crawler. You start with a search term, and then branch out into smaller and smaller subtopics (ex. "Mexico" will lead to "Agriculture, History, Current Events, Topography" etc.) Thus you might find bits of information too specific to have been found by one or two generic search terms.

Question for those who've used Qt: Is qml worth using? Not too fond of using a ui designer (java ptsd) and qml looks like a quick way of manually coding the ui. I just don't know if there are any performance differences or maybe there are common things that qml can't handle.

I did it, I managed to get a C program that compiles and runs correctly...without a main function!

The only problem is that it doesn't actually do anything.

There's no errors on compilation and no abnormal exits or whatnot when it runs, it just...well...does nothing.

Here's the code:

const _start(){
  asm(
        "movl $len,%edx;\n"
    "movl $msg,%ecx;\n"
    "movl $1,%ebx;\n"
    "movl $1,%eax;\n"
    "int $0x80;"
    "ret;\n"
    "msg: .ascii \"Hello, world!\\n\";\n"
    "len = . - msg;\n"
   );
}

Throw that into your GCC with the `-s` and `-nostdlib` flags and it'll give you a 984 byte executable that, when run, immediately exits normally.

How would I go about, you know, actually getting this to print "Hello, world!" to the stdout like it should? Any real C programmers out there or are you all just high-level pansies?

>>51571746
1 is exit()

>>51571746
>real C programmers
>code is pretty much assembly

>>51571797
According to the contents of unistd_64.h, write is 1 and exit is 60.

>>51571840

http://asm.sourceforge.net/intro/hello.html

1 is sys_write

>>51571850
Yeah, that's what I'm going for.

Strangely, changing it to 4 results in "Hello, world!" being printed and then an immediate segfault.

>>51571850
4*

>>51571850
>>51571862

4*

>>51571877

[~]% cat /usr/include/asm/unistd_64.h | grep write
#define __NR_write 1
#define __NR_pwrite64 18
#define __NR_writev 20
#define __NR_pwritev 296
#define __NR_process_vm_writev 311

4 is write on 32-bit machines. 1 is write on 64-bit machines.

>>51571840
>unistd_64.h
You're using the 32 bit syscall interface.

>>51571888
nice trips dude

>>51571862
it's actually 4 I misread

>>51571904
That must have been it.
With that knowledge I fixed the exit function to actually call exit(), and now it works:

const _start(){
  asm(
        "movl $len,%edx;\n"
    "movl $msg,%ecx;\n"
    "movl $1,%ebx;\n"
    "movl $4,%eax;\n"
    "int $0x80;\n"
    "movl $1,%eax;\n"
    "int $0x80;\n"
    "msg: .ascii \"Hello, world!\\n\";\n"
    "len = . - msg;\n"
   );
}

The binary is 992b, which is still larger than the raw asm but under 1KB so I'm satisfied.

what happens to the preprocessor after c++ introduces modules?

>>51571966
looks like gcc is adding a subroutine prologue/epilogue to the program

>>51572074
Interesting.

Also, as usual, there's quite a bit of useless null characters "padding" the binary. I'll see how small I can actually get the binary myself.

>>51572142
>>51572074
Because the string seems to be hard coded at 0000:0165, I can't get the executable to be less than 173 chars without tinkering with the actual code which is something I'm not knowledgeable enough to do.

I managed to get the 992 byte binary down to only 370 bytes by cutting out the null data and useless debug information, though, which is actually really impressive all things considered. 370B for a hello world program...

>>51571966
>The binary is 992b, which is still larger than the raw asm but under 1KB so I'm satisfied.
You'll get a bunch of junk by default from gcc (build-id and gcc version string, which creates extra sections) and for x86_64 the abi mandates unwind tables for all functions (which aren't ever needed for a fully working program).
Compile and link with:
gcc -s -nostdlib -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -Qn -Wl,--build-id=none
That's 440 bytes without manual intervention.

woah scrub, a whole 370 bytes? I just printed it out using only 13, get the fuck on my level son

>>51572260
Woah, thanks!
And from there when manually shortening the binary it drops down to a measly 223 bytes.

There's still a lot of null characters in the binary, though. I'm sure there's a way to cut those out.

>>51572282
As I suspected, there is!

I found the byte that points to the beginning of the string. Moving the string to the middle of the program and manually changing that byte to the new location of the string resulted in a savings of about twenty bytes with no loss of functionality. I'm not under 200 bytes yet but I'll keep playing around.

Code someone mentioned it is impossible to write swap function in Java. I beg to differ

import java.lang.reflect.*;

public class T{
    public static void swap(int a, int b) throws Exception{
        Field f = Integer.class.getDeclaredFields()[3];
        f.setAccessible(true);
        char[] t=(char[])f.get(null);
        char temp = t[a];
        t[a] = t[b];
        t[b] = temp;
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
        int a = 5;
        int b = 3;
        int c = 1;

        System.out.println("Values = a=" + a + " b=" + b + " c=" + c);
        System.out.println("swap(a, b);");
        swap(a, b);
        System.out.println("Values = a=" + a + " b=" + b + " c=" + c);
        System.out.println("swap(b, c);");
        swap(b, c);
        System.out.println("Values = a=" + a + " b=" + b + " c=" + c);
    }
}

I did, but a lot of that's over my head. That program doesn't DO anything, it just runs and immediately exits. I understand the assembly behind my own program but how that actually translates to binary is beyond me, so right now I'm just chasing pointers in an attempt to catch the segfaults.

A fresh build of my project now takes over 10 minutes. Kill me.

>>51572388
generics

Let's say I want to write a simple chat client but I want to encrypt the messages.
What's the best way to do this?
- Encrypt the messages using some sort of public and private key that the people chatting have and know? I assume they'd make the keys with pgp or something similar.
- Use some popular library that already has a function for that and I only have to choose the algorithm.
- Don't encrypt anything and run the software over Tor.
- Forget about this because I clearly don't know shit about encryption.

I really don't care about the encryption part, and obviously I wouldn't think of implementing my own shitty algorithms, I just want to be able to encrypt messages. Dead simple

>>51572372
nobody says you cant write a function to swap primitives. the insistence is that you can't do it without using an object

>>51572482
I assume you have 100k lines of code and you are not fucking up with your dependencies or using some /g/ tier language

>>51572891
as you can see in my code, a b and c are al ints.

And no, you can't also not really swap objects too

>>51572886
An easy way to do it is to embed the key in the client and server. Sign all network traffic with the key so only the client and server can decrypt it.

Teaching myself some modern c++, this compiles in g++, not in clang:

constexpr std::initializer_list<int> il={1,2,3};

If I do more complicated things similar to this than g++ starts to fail too without being too verbose of the error. Fuck this. I'm trying to write a library with literal types but I keep bumping into obscure errors.

>>51572899
>I assume you have 100k lines of code
Yep. My tools say 200KLOC but that is probably including quite a bit of stuff which isn't compiled.

>>51572911
>An easy way to do it is to embed the key in the client and server
So all clients use the same key? Then there's no point in encrypting the messages. Or am I missing something?
Oh and I'd like to avoid having a server

>>51573010
I don't think it'll work for you.
Let's say your applications are A, the client, and B, the server. B checks the hash of the network request to validate the source, which should be A. Any other client is unable to interact with the server because it doesn't have the right key.
You should use something a bit more advanced like public/private keys. Client A signs the message with the public key of client B. Client B decrypts the message with its private key. Decryption is only possible with the private key, so only client B is able to read the message. Make it simple for yourself and use a library.

>>51572372
>Field f = Integer.class.getDeclaredFields()[3];
why 3? what does the fourth element in the array of declared Integer fields represent? I really don't understand what's going on here

>>51573136
so the server is mandatory right? Otherwise each client would have to know the IP of everyone in the chat.
I was thinking about using something like torrent trackers where they basically take care of making sure the clients know who are the clients who have the file parts they need and make them talk with each other
>You should use something a bit more advanced like public/private keys.
As I suspected. I only studied how RSA works in Discrete Math, but I assume there are far better algorithms by now to replace them.
Thanks for your help mate.

>>51573330
Not really.
You only need to know the IP and port of 1 client. Lets say client A connects to client B. Client A has to know the port and IP of client B. There's no way around that. Now client C connects to client B. Client B notifies client A about the new peer. How the notification is done, is up to you. I assume torrent tracks work aswel.

>>51573239
>why 3?
because I need the 4th element on that array

Let's say I want to make a unoficial mobile version of a website in the form of another website that fetchs data through curl/ajax or whatever and I have to login into the original website through my website and post from my website to the original website

I'm building a Lisp, called Valutron. I am implementing its compiler-interpreter in Objective-C.

It has some unique features: first, it offers what are called V-expressions, an alternative notation for writing code. Second, it offers a comprehensive object system inspired mainly by that of SmallTalk-80, one of the earliest Object-Oriented languages, and by Common Lisp's CLOS, Common Lisp being the first object-oriented language to be standardised.

This object model is implemented atop the Objective-C runtime, which I have extended with support for Double Dispatch to enable the availability of CLOS' characteristics multimethods.

>>51574182
I am making progress every day. Valutron embodies my emphasis on solid design and incremental improvement.

You can find the experimental source tree at https://github.com/JX7P/Valutron .

Be forewarned, it's not very useful right now as I am still in the design phase of building the new bytecode VM and its associated JIT compiler. I am documenting the design and implementation of these as well. Further, Valutron is somewhat large in scope, and so the source tree is in flux as I refine my designs.

Note that the new JIT should provide a 5-10* speed boost v.s. straight evaluation of trees, and should also enable the implementation of call/cc in a way that matches the semantics prescribed by Revised [6] Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme.

My C is a little rusty. I would appreciate if you could help.

I am making a data logger where writing speed and memory is essential. Should I call fprintf 10 times to write the different data or should I construct a char array and write everything at once?

>>51574594
is it static typed?
What are V-expressions then?

>>51574652
fprintf is probably already buffered

>>51574555
And the moment I moan on /g/, i realize what an idiot I am. I was never transitioning the back buffers between render_target_output and present.

>>51570644
It's no single language. Python and ruby are the most in demand alongside vb, but it really depends on the field and application. Fucking Lua has become the python of video games and pops up outside of it almost as much as python.

Thanks. That makes it a lot easier.

>>51574594
What's your motivation for the used license?

Hey

I am shit in databases. For one client, I build a website in PHP/MySQL and I don't really spend too much time on it, it just runs on autopilot. (I am spending my time on another project that pays me 100 times more.)

Well, right now, they started to tell me that some actions take a long time. When I got a bit deeper, it seems like it's MySQL - some queries, pretty randomly, take a long time (about 40 seconds). Similar queries before and after are quick, so it's not regular, it's pretty random.

I installed munin to watch the load on the VM where it runs, and RAM, CPU, everything seems to be fine. I have no clue what the hell is going on and what should I do. I don't want to fine-tune the SQL queries now, because I don't want to touch the code at all if possible, especially the more low-level stuff like SQL queries.

I will probably just try to make innodb_buffer_pool_size larger and hope that it fixes things magically. But it pisses me off that I have no idea what is going on

>>51574857

>>51574655
V-expressions are an algebraic syntax available for use for code:

// let's define a 'get-hello-world' generic
defgeneric get-hello-world (object some-object) => string;

// let's define a 'hello' class
defclass hello (object)
{
    slot string hello : initarg hello:;
    slot string world : accessor getWorld, initarg world:;
}

defmethod get-hello-world (hello some-object) => string
{
    let result = copy(some-object.hello);
    append(to: result, some-object.getWorld);
    result
}

let aHello = make-instance (hello: "hello", world: "world");
// the dollar $ is an alternative form of method dispatch syntax;
// it passes its (left-associative) pre-component as first argument
let aLambda = { () => integer | print(stdio, aHello$get-hello-world()); };
aLambda();

They appear to be statically typed, but in fact this serves as recommendations more than constraints due to the late-binding nature of Lisp. You could overhaul the type system and implement associated optimisations in theory, though.

>>51574906
That's true. I moved to C++ quite early on for various reasons. But calling it "Objective-C" elicits funny reactions from /g/

>>51574908
I don't think I need a PHP profiler, I figured out the bottleneck are the SQL queries

Also it doesn't happen at development machine at all, only on production, and only in around 1/100 cases (or less), so it's hard to catch

>>51574874
Thanks, I will read on that.

(Again I am terrible with databases, I know some basic SQL syntax and that MySQL and Postgres exist, and that's where my knowledge ends)

>>51575251
It specifies that the named parameter 'world:' may be passed to make-instance to initialise the 'hello' slot with a value.

I inherited the convention of including the colon from ISO Lisp Object System (ILOS). It doesn't seem very useful, though, so I can probably remove it and have the colon be added implicitly.

>>51575299
Pass-by-value, unless you need to store that variable somewhere and perhaps modify it later.

It depends. For the sake of concurrency, pass by value. Otherrwise, pass by const reference.

Is node.js the future of programming?

I uploaded my language in its current state at: http://neetco.de/languagedev/language

1. There are design issues with the typenodes (MNode in pmf.h/cpp) which makes the code bloated, error-prone and leaky.
2. The primitives only work with int types. Beside, they're handled ad-hoc and bypass most of the code generation, which is also bug-prone and oogleh.
3. I haven't tested that it actually produces valid executables (but the llvm looks OK).
4. printf-and-continue-until-segfault is used instead of proper erroring,

build.sh provides the commands to run to build the entire thing. Only the last command is required if the .y (bison file) and .l (flex file) aren't touched.

The code is mostly written as almost-throwaway code so it's not pretty, but it should be understandable and workable.

The language's syntax is in the .y file. There is support for if-then, if-then-else, while, set!, let, lambda, type declaration (might not work, not sure) and function calls. Moreover, any symbol can be placed infix to represent an infix call without ambiguity under LALR(1):

let fn = lambda (x, y) x + y;
fn(3, 4) fn fn(8, 9);
\\should output the llvm IR for "7 + 17"

There are some simple to correct syntax flaws such as require ; after {} in if and while statements.

llvm_backend.h/cpp does code generation. No passmanager is used, so it outputs unoptimized code, which is especially useful for debugging.

I like the base syntax (beside some flaws that need to be addressed, as outlined above) so far, but the codebase is starting to be hard to work with. Next up is probably, implementing multiple dispatch and type translation (e.g. <number> = <u>(<long>, <double>) should unify the union type, not the <number> type, with whatever argument is used in a function call).

Any pull request, patches, or suggestions would be appreciated, especially in how to cleanup the code.

>>51575351
Unless it gets concurrency, no.

>>51575396
Not him, but smalltalk-style OOP means you define methods on generics, not on objects. Typically, generics are automatically made for you the first time the compiler encounters a method definition with an as-of-yet unseen name in good languages, though. Think of it as an abstract base class's function, except it's really not in and of itself related to the object, which allows extending the message passing framework over any existing object type without modifying the library which introduces that type.

>>51575396
It defines a generic function. These constitute methods that are unassociated with classes.

Similar to C++ templates, whichever specialisation (as defined with defmethod) is most specific to the types specified in an invocation of the generic is the one that is called. This is achieved through the Double-Dispatch mechanism.

>>51575351
yes, don't listen to >>51575382, the guy does the usual confusion between concurrency and parallelism. (And even that, nodejs has parallel computing).

>>51575423
>Not him, but smalltalk-style OOP means you define methods on generics, not on objects.
But why? Is there any good reason not to have them generated automatically?

>>51575299
It depends on how big the object is.

>>51575459
I haven't added automatic generation yet but I will do in the future.

The major virtue of defining them in advance is to, for example, constrain the possible specialisations available. Think of C++09 concepts in this case.

I was reading about unit tests and encountered a problem. How do you know what to test and how to test certain things.
For example in graphics, how do you test if something is being drawn correctly? You can test every mathematical operation being used on their own easily, but what about the combination of operations?
And for example in networking, do you make tests for all the smaller components and then assume the data are being correctly transmitted. Or you make a test using some Port on your own machine and test if it gets there.

>For example in graphics, how do you test if something is being drawn correctly?
Compare against a "reference" image. If you're talking about 3D rendering, that would be an image rendered by a path tracer.

>>51575563
Graphics testing is a whole area of research. The usual "dumb" approach is to manually render and check the validity of an image, then use that image as a reference and allow up to x% per-pixel deviation in the render (different hardware render differently).

For other forms of testing, it's about path coverage.

>>51575187

Where the fuck did you get that flowchart control?

>>51575563
For networking you usually test all the basic functions like your protocol handler, and then assume the OS correctly pushes your bytes down the pipe.

You'll have some end-to-end tests that verifies this separate from the unit tests.

So fuck it

>>51575727
>So fuck it

That's the right attitude.

>>51575723
Each call to func() has two parameters. So (and this is a pretty useless number) there are six parameters overall: a+b, a-b, a*b, a/b, and the values of func(a+b, a-b) and func(a*b, a/b).

>>51575723
Who cares, really.

The function "func" has 2 parameters.

But if you want "total parameters", it's probably 6, as this guy says

func has two parameters and that's what is important.

the correct answer was "there is no way to know without function definitions" because there can be always defaulted parameters.

Is defaulted parameter a parameter if nobody knows about it?

And does it make a sound?

>>51575802

Maybe in your language, not in "CS in general".

>>51575727
tests are largely useless. At least, i reckon they are massively over used. The amount of time it takes to write and maintain a suite of tests is very high, and you could easily spend the same time just making the code base more robust and leverage the type system more (types are tests).

They definitely have a place is a large, well designed system where certain things cannot be easily be made as robust with good code alone. In that case tests are hugely useful. Most of the time they are a waste though. You're company is probably right to be skipping them.

Decided to monkey around with my palette thinger from yesterday.

Apparently the correct technique is to use HSL, rather than RGB, because the distance will produce images that are off-color (warm, or hot, depending on your input palette) but more closely match the original image in terms of shape. Not only that, but working center out is also important.

Haven't taken to implementing that, though, so here's American Gothic with the Starry Night palette.

I had a small suite of tests, and it was quite helpful in building it. I could confidently change a lot of code and then ensure that the program still worked fine. Without tests, I could never make large changes like that.
The final result was used in a node based thing like >>51575187. I shared it here a while back

It's very far from correct. In practice, this will get horrible results.

Web RGB #030202 is hsb(350,0.39,0.01)

The difference between 350 and 90 degrees is huge (that of course is assuming you scale 0-360 to 0-1), but those two colors are practically the same - black.

Same applies to HSV (I just can't give you precise HSV values because photoshop only has HSB).

really depends which language and compiler...it's not an open and shut thing
e.g. the compiler determines a default parameter can be inlined in the function instead of wasting space in the stack, so it creates a whole new function which should theorectically run faster because of less bloat

if you know of a language/compiler which does create different functions for different number of params, link to the source so we can verify

Not for me. With g++ I am getting this.

void t(int c = 5){
}
t(2);
t();

produces

    movl    $2, %edi
    call    _Z1ti
    movl    $5, %edi
    call    _Z1ti

>>51576172
Yes, so does mine, but your company will have salesmen / marketeers to seel it. My personal opinion is techies should take the greater role, but none techinical salesmen selling tech products. What is /g/s experience with being in this enviroment?

>>51576238
Turn off inlining.

>>51576142
We are sales-driven, but we have no salesmen because we are targeting very niche community where we have, so far, a monopoly, and all people that need us basically know about us.

Also the issue is that the community of our users is on one hand very niche, on the other hand all over the planet.

So yeah we have no salesmen and are very VERY technology driven. Which is cool.

The bad side of our company is this

How difficult would it be to create an app for both osx/android from scratch?

I have no experience with xcode or swift or any of that, but I'm in my final year of engineering so I do have a decent handle on C/C++/VBA and python

The app would have a purse which you can add money too and micro-transactions would occur based on that.

Think sort of like uber

>>51576482
Fine, 3x slower. Same shit.

>>51576361
salesmen sell shit that doesn't exist, at the place i work they want to push shit out at fast paces, there is no time for proper testing. I've been there 3 months now and so much old stuff is unecure and exposed to being attacked. Everything is on one server, not joking, it wont take much for this place to fuck up.

To the people running the place it feels like the only thing that counts is making more money and speed things up. Clients come back and our work is tied and still expect us to make an app in a week with loads of bespoke stuff. feels like you're making junk.

>>51576519
Uber for money

Why did nobody ever thought of that???

>>51576519
Impossible.

>>51576450
S-expressions are awful for code. They're best suited to being used for data and as a view of the internal representation.

Open Dylan proves that you can get all the Lisp benefits (and even hygienic, ultra-powerful macros) without the stupidity of S-expression code.

>>51576519
>>>/hn/

also you can use c++ for both

>>51576519
On a related note

How difficult is Cordova, and how efficient is it on today's phones?

I heard it's kinda slow and inefficient, but I never tried it. And I already know JS/CSS/HTML because I do that stuff daily, while diving "back" into objective-c/dalvik java, I will not be so effective in those

>>51576543
S-expressions are literally perfect for code. There does not exist a better representation whatsoever. They're perfectly unambiguous and require only 2 syntax markers, they make refactoring almost automatic with 0 tools, and they work bloatless with any programming paradigm currently in existence. They even make it ridiculously easy to serialize and deserialize data as well as making syntax manipulation trivial.

>>51576543
>S-expressions are awful for code.
i found them to be quite goods. it's easy to write tools for s-expression where parsing is a joy.

Same here. We build apps for others, so the goal is to finish the project as fast as possible. Taking shortcuts is a must since the deadlines are insane. There's no budget for unit/UI tests, so we bash the screen and see if it is still working decently.
It's a real shame though. I like creating a nice architecture, but that takes time. Time we don't have. Also the quality of 'app developers' isn't really top notch. I guess that's what you get for building apps.
I'm still amazed at how many high profile clients we have.

Thanks that is really neat.

>>51576571
cordova is deprecated
react-native is what you should use now

>>51576598
I don't agree. I think chicken- or racket-style type annotations are fantastic:

(: fn (-> int int int))
(: fn2 (int int .->. int))
(define (fn x y) (+ x y))
(define (fn2 x y) (* x y))

Even inline annotations work quite well:

(lambda ([x : int] [y : int]) #{(+ x y) : int})

But shouldn't be necessary. Top-level items and variables should be markable, but return types and intermediary types should usually be inferred.

>>51575908
HSL is a meme

I was in Asia for three trips (Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan) and I loved it there

How can one find an IT related job there? Is it good idea?

I will take China (mainland), Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, Taiwan. Maybe those other countries with less Chinese influence (Malaysia, Thailand) but I have never been there so I don't know. Korea and Japan - I don't know, I heard they work like crazy there

>>51576679
I just think the prefix : and -> look silly

>>51576679
Is that for typed racket? I love how it's similar to Haskell

>>51576693
Bump for interest.

>>51576711
Yeah, it's typed-racket. Chicken's look similar.
>>51576696
That's just the baby duck talking.

>>51576741
În this case, why ever use regular racket instead of typed racket?

>>51576693
Try huawei or baidu. They're the big guys in terms of tech over there.
It's a very bad idea. You'll have to accept that your job will mostly consist of spying on people, advertising for druglords, being complicit and hiding the company's illegal activities.

Haha.

One Chinese IT guy I met in Vietnam specifically told me not to work for Huawei because they work a lot with a little pay there

Baidu is cool though

>You'll have to accept that your job will mostly consist of spying on people, advertising for druglords, being complicit and hiding the company's illegal activities.
Let's be honest though the only difference everywhere else in the world is that they're somewhat more covert about it there.

>>51576683

So I've heard.

I hope you realize there are college students out there you could give internships to in order to carry out tasks like those.

>>51576633
The company I work for as high profile clients as well. The funny thing is when we give them something to test you'd expect them to have teams testing it for different scenarios. For example UI testers, penetration testers.

But what really happens is some cunt that's managing it gets a friend and their family member to test it on their device, and these clients are high profile nation wide guys. It's so supprising.

>>51576764
Typed racket is actually very bad, the type system is both very weak, being unable to express many kinds of types, being unable to resolve transitive type equivalence (union of unbox-type of box A and unbox-type of box of B v.s. unbox-type of box of union of A and B are not compatible, for instance), and being unable to form some types outright (for instance opaque structs cannot be passed back to untyped code during a call to a function in that same untyped code because the opaque type is not formed correctly), you also have to choose per-file if you want types or not, there's a massive cost to going form typed to untyped racket due to having to transform type tests into runtime contracts, and another in going in the other direction (+ dev overhead) because you have to specify contracts to run when importing objects from untyped code to determine the type. Also, you often have to add pointless code to get the type engine to correctly detect the types such as if you have a union of A and B and you want to do fna if it's an a and fnb if it's a b, you can't use if-else, you have to use if-a-else-if-b-else. More importantly, even when a type is trivially guaranteed and you expect the type system to detect it, you still have to insert if/elseif pointless tests to convince the typesystem of the right type to detect, and you have to add type annotations (#{... : ...}) way too often.

What am i doing wrong here? I'm trying this exercise in a book, but i'm having trouble with passing the pointer to functions into the vector:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int foo(int x, int y)
{
    return x + y;
}

int add(int a, int b)
{
    return a += b;
}

int sub(int a, int b)
{
    return a -= b;
}

int multiply(int a, int b)
{
    return a *= b;
}

int divide(int a, int b)
{
    return a /= b;
}

int main()
{
    typedef int(*pf)(int, int);

    vector<pf> v{ add, sub, multiply, divide };

    for (vector<pf>::iterator iter = v.begin(); iter < v.end(); ++iter)
    {
        cout << iter(2, 2) << endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

excuse the messy layout, it's just a small exercise.

>>51576810
You mean 'overt'.

>>51576871

You're right. Been a long day, sorry.

>>51576892
I got it to work using:

#for (auto f : v)
    {
        cout << f(2, 2) << endl;
    }

I know why the iterator thing isn't working, but i wanna know why the auto works. What type is f when used with auto then?

I know i could just roll with auto, but i don't like using it. Not until i'm more comfortable with c++ and i better understand how my code works at least.

>>51576871
Use std::function.

 cout << (*iter)(2, 2) << endl;

Usually the product manager 'tests' the application. I've no idea how they test but it's shit.
iOS builds are usually tested on their own devices. 99% of all manager I've met have an iPhone. Android builds are usually tested on a borrowed phone. I occasionally receive mails stating the app doesn't install on their borrowed phone. No shit, it's Android 2.2 with a LDPI screen. We only support Android 4.1 and higher.
What kinda applications do you build?

>>51576925
because range for loop is defined by the standard as:
[code[auto && __range = range_expression ;
for (auto __begin = begin_expr,
__end = end_expr;
__begin != __end; ++__begin) {
range_declaration = *__begin;
loop_statement
} [/code]

note the *__begin

I do the web platform, but we build IOS and Andriod. I don't want to say exactly what the product is, there are quite a few other companies do the same thing from what I'm aware of. The manager gets pissy when he finds other competition doing the sme thing. But it's a decent idea and something alot of companies are interested in, we have some big names in my country and abroad that want the app.

I would ask you but I'm guessing you'll probs not want to give much away. and yes how they test it is rediculs.

A few weeks ago the client had a cried my web features didn't work in IE 8 in their "amazing" IT studio. So yeah
