Creating a program that analyzes a database and recreates the schema with no constraints on another SQL Server.

So far it's working with MySQL and other SQL Servers.

Will add support for basic JSON-based APIs and other relational databases soon.

Should be useful for data staging when building the data warehouse and other integrations.

Haven't coded anything since I got my diploma and have no ideas or inspiration. I feel like I need to get into it and work towards freelance because even though I've been flinging resume's for months I've gotten nothing but a brief interview at a pet-food canning place [spoiler]Which I lost out on to someone younger[/spoiler]. What do?

>>57470892
Hello, newfriend.

You cannot spoiler on /g/.

I also have a strong hatred for anyone who uses the phrase "What do?".

In any case, you want to start with the most job-saturated languages and learn them enough so that you can actually create small programs that do things.

Pick either Java or C#. Alternatively, the next bracket of open jobs is about the same between C, C++, and Python.

It would also help to learn Javascript, and you should understand basic SQL.

If you can create a small application from start to finish that talks to a database or API, massages that data to show good info, and displays that information on a GUI of some sort, you're definitely hireable.

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int a, b;
b = 20;
a = b;
printf("%d", a); // 20
{
b++;
int a = b;
printf("%d", a); // 21
}
printf("%d", a); // 20
}

I forget which boards do and don't. I'm already familiar with C# and java, looking to get into C++ as well because of efficiency memes.
I can make an application with all that shit but I haven't any ideas as to what to make it for.

Need to make and host webpage.
I know lamp, I'm maintaining old php code at my work.
I thought I could do this with some "modern" tooling so the question is which stack should I choose?

I thought I could use:
java, jetty, spark - jetty can be changed but the performance of the server really doesn't matter in this case
python, nginx, flask
something else what?

So I took a few basic CS classes and did some time on codecademy and hackerrank. Figuring out small problems on a cmd or IDE output window is all well and good, but where do I start learning how to make a full fledged program, complete with its own executable binary, gui, and maybe some professional level revision control and the like? All the textbooks I've read so far have just gone into the basics, and the closest I've come is some wonky Java applets and drag-and-drop C#.

Is codeacademy a good way to learn Java?

holy shit guys, is it bad that everytime i code in an OOP language, I go crazy with making objects, inheritance, and interfaces.

I feel like i over engineering my solution.

>>57471598
OOP isn't really engineering.
You can think of OOP as being like modern art.

>>57471592
No.

I see this as a bad habit, but im still a noob.
would really like to hear /dpt/ opinions

I am writing a JavaFX application. I have a window that contains a button, and when I press that button, a new window opens. I can not open more than one window using the button, which is what I want. So far so good.

Then I close the new window, and then press the button once more. The old instance of the new window appears.

What's the best practice for making new windows for every button press, while maintaining the "max 1 window at a time" requirement? Do I create a new stage for each window? A new scene? A new pane?

Thanks for any help/tips.

>>57471789
When you create the subwindow you need to create new scene and then in the new window use setScene? I think but I might wrong

>would really like to hear /dpt/ opinions
Hopefully with about 19 grains of salt.

If what you're doing saves time and makes the code easier to maintain, great!

If it's consuming lots of time with little to no benefit, then that's not great.

It's just another technique, and every common technique exists to solve some sort of problem and make your life easier. If you're abusing the technique in such a way that you're getting net negative benefit, then you're likely using it wrong and in the wrong place.

>>57471592

This: >>57471609 >>57471611

This also goes for any of the other websites or apps. The best way to learn java is either through classes with a good instructor (or if you find tutorials online by people who actually know how stuff really works), or by picking up a book.

>>57471810
I do that stuff mainly because it helps me structure my program. But i feel like I spend too much time on it.

my thought process is, I'm future proofing my program. But i dont know.

Question for /dpt/:

I've been reading The Linux Programming Interface (pic related) and think it's the best programming book I've ever read. Now I want to use syscalls everywhere I can. Is there ever any reason to use a Linux syscall over a standard library function if I know my application will only be run on Linux?

I'm learning how to create libavfilter (ffmpeg) filters.
>>57472339
Higher-level calls, are, well, higher-level, more convenient.

>>57472206
No, modern art

>>57471851
If you don't know for sure that the abstraction is going to help you later, don't do it. Also, the thing about OOP is that it often involves things like inheritance that can actually lead to even more wasted time down the line because you've set up a brittle abstraction that doesn't work with a change you want to make.

It's the exact same problem as premature optimization (you can think of it as optimizing for the least duplication, even). Don't optimize when you don't know that it will provide a significant performance gain.

I've read how

using namespace std

can be bad practice.

But does the more explicit

using std::cout

have the same pitfalls?

>>57472904
Both are bad at the top level of a header file. Otherwise both are fine.

>>57472904
Namespaces were invented to solve the issue of name collision in different parts of code (often developed by different parties). Using declaration kind of defeats this purpose.
You should probably never use the general version but you can use the specific version if you use some name often, and can be reasonable sure it won't clash with your own names.

>Java applets

disgusting.

But seriously, I recommend you work on web apps. Learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and some front-end framework (React or Angular).

You can also do stuff with Python + Django (or Flask), but that would require knowledge of CSS and HTML too if you wanna make something that looks good.

I've never used Ruby on Rails or anything else. Well, I did use C++ and Qt on a desktop application, and I remember it was pretty good.

compare what you can do with printf and with write.

library functions are safer (more safety checks), well tested (more than your homemade ones) and more convenient.

In the end you will probalby write half of the stdlib yourself to ease your usage of syscalls, just your version will be worse.

how do you use the scanner class in java to call constructors using user input?

learn to redirect data m9. cat is deprecated

im creating a hash table with a linked list that has to deal with collisions and I was wondering if it would be weird for my node to have a an "int" variable called value that would serve 2 different purposes depending on the situation. For example if there is no collision this "int" variable becomes whatever number the hashing algorithm gives me (and I put that node at that position). If there is a collision i create a new instance of the linkedlist and this value will now just start at 1 get ++ everytime a new collision happens at that position.

Is there a better way of doing this? I was thinking making two different variables but creating the printlist function would become awkward

>>57473183
The way I always implement mine is by saving the key in the linked list node. That way even if the hash is the same, it then compares the key that's used to retrieve data with each node. Makes sure collisions don't fuck up my data. Probably isn't too efficient though.

I work at a law firm and want to create an application where we put in our new case and it predicts the result based on the factors we know on Day 1.

Would I use machine learning for this? I've never done that before but I feel like I would.

>>57474584
Haha, you would have to feed your AI with a lot of past cases so that it can learn from them because there is much more than the facts to take into consideration.
This would be pretty hard to make

I occasionally see property setters that look like this:

def x= (new_x)
  if @x != new_x then
    @x = new_x
  end
end

Is this any faster than just assigning without checking first?

>>57474604
We currently use a database to track our cases. We've been using it since 2012 and have about 8,000 cases in it. I can export any of the fields I want in a query so producing the data shouldn't be super hard. Is 8,000 not enough?

>>57474612
If the type of x is a fucking huge class with hundreds of big variables yeah
if x is an int it's useless

>>57474612
No. In fact it will always be slower unless there is some pathological situation where comparison is faster than assignment.

>>57474612

>>57474821
A good way to do a state machine with OOP is to have an interface with implementors for each concrete state like so:

interface State {
  void update(); // or whatever
  State next();
}

Transitions are done by returning a new state from "next". Return "this" whenever you don't want to transition.

Ah OK nice. I think that matches what I'm trying with Unity. So the next state is chosen in state code and not worked out "outside" using multiple conditions.

Yesterday someone asked about how to check palindromes from a list of words in python.
People were saying to use a reverse map or hash table. How would you make a hash function with words? Shouldn't it be something like

while(i = 0; i< normalword.length; i++)
if
 normalword[i] == reversedword[i]
 print(normalword)

If you wanted to check for palindromes in a list? Is i = i the hash function if you were to make a hash table?

You are wrong, friend.

I've been here since around 2006, whenever Snacks was running rampant and Cracky-chan was slutting it up.

The hard part of this imo would be translating the factors you know on day 1 to something your computer can understand and fits neatly into samey inputs.

Machine learning is a decent approach if you give it a push in the right direction at the start

>>57474584
i dont know about law and what factors into your decision making there. but I can assure you, no machine learned algorithm will provide commercially reliable answers if more than half of the parameters are human. if such an algorithm could be created it would take millions of cases to build it, and it would be all for nothing every time a major event happens to your parameters (say if the judge is a major factor, and you know theres 5 judges you usually deal with, one dies and one gets married and your algorithm's accuracy is basically reset to zero)

When an animal leaves and there are only 3 left, it has to wait until there is no human.

>>57476491
Sharing C++ classes that way is probably not gonna work (it definitely doesn't work for any class with virtual functions, since function pointers can't really be shared, and any std:: class may well have either virtual and/or function pointers inside them).
You also have the problem of constructors being called, filePath will get set to L"" every time a process loads the dll.

The official recommendation is never share C++ classes across process boundaries, only POD types.

Would putting an array definition in an if, else statement fuck up a C compile?

What does /g/ think of Delphi?

I work for an IT company and already maintain various projects in php, java, vba, C# .NET and js (various frameworks).

Last month we had taken on supporting a Delphi project and it's more or less my first time with Delphi/Pascal.

I'm enjoying it so far, from a RAD standpoint it is even faster to work with than .NET (and yet is easily cross-platformable); everything you need is already included in standard libraries.

For example - appending to a text file whether it already exists or not takes literally one line with standard IO utils, reading/writing to ini files is piss easy, socket programming and database handling done with just a few components, etc.

If I was going to make someone software for their business from scratch, I'd probably use this - assuming I could absolve the developer licensing costs in there somewhere.

any way to check multiple columns to see if they share a matching value and return what the value is? Note that these columns are not the same size. I was thinking about using a bunch of loops to check for matches between elements and having it search the next column for the value until it fails but there must be an easier way right?

If you're not doing anything large/corporate, vim/emacs are both very efficient. Takes a bit to learn at least vim, which is what I use, but only a few plugins and it's pretty good. Lack of functional auto complete so if it's for your job/you're doing something really large, you should probably go for a proper IDE so you can quickly jump around methods and namespaces.

>>57476672
if you define your array inside an if/else, it will only exist within that scope.

Define it before the if statement, instantiate it/assign a value inside if/else

>>57477408
Yeah, any good IDE has that. Vim has some level of functional auto complete and the ability to do so, but it's really, really slow and really buggy from my experience. However, the raw speed of text editing once you've learned vim is unmatched. Your hands get to stay right on the alphanumerical keys 99% of the time and you can record complex macros, substitute with full regex, repeat actions, meaning you could rename an extremely used namespace across every source file in seconds. I use ctrlp for vim as well which gives you quick fuzzy searching to open other source files, so you don't have to even take your hand off the keyboard to open another source file, and vim also has support for tabs like most IDEs do (of course, accessible by pressing a number and a key).

Project I'm working on at the moment would be about 7-9 files of code once done + extra makefiles and such, I think the tradeoff in terms of completion and tooltip/info access you make with vim over an IDE becomes void once you're hitting major major work though.

>>57477336
intersect(intersect(A,B),intersect(C,D)) would show you the element they have in common, and if you wanted to do more than 4 arrays you'd just use recursion.

If you wanted to go the recursive path, you'd want to do intersect(A,B),intersect(B,C) instead of A,B C,D.

>>57477351
ok, then how are state machines done in haskell?

>>57477471
It's easy if you can describe all your states as an algebraic data type. Then you just use pattern matching.

The state monad will still help if you don't want to pass the state around your main loop or whatever but it doesn't really have anything to do with the state machine itself.

how do you even get better at anything with that attitude, as opposed to "oh I changed something, let's google this/look at my keybindings chart and see what button I pressed, oh that's what that does"

I don't understand why you'd even try to make the change if you're mad about the change. That's the point of the editors, not to be the same as everything else you've used.

You can learn the basic controls in 5 minutes, yes.
Ctrl+V next page
Meta+V previous page
Ctrl+x+Arrow next/prev buffer
Ctrl+x+f open file/create new file
Ctrl+space start/stop highlighting
Ctrl+w Cut highlights
Ctrl+y Paste
Ctrl+x+s save
Ctrl+x+c close
Ctrl+x 2 Split window
Cltr+x o Switch window focus

Practice using it for 5 minutes and you'll have no issue. It sounds confusing but is surprisingly intuitive thanks to the positioning of the keys.

I have more interesting things to learn than the occult rituals of a text editor, right now.
I just wanted something that will make my work easier without getting in my way.

It just has SOMs, kNN in different flavors and cosine similarity. Next up are MLP and SVM

it was popular. but the various companies owning delphi fucked it up for 10-15 years straight with ridiculous releases and insane costs. Delphi 5/6/7 was the last "good" delphi atleast until last time I checked in 2013 or so. the rad studio in 2013 was still awful. cross-platform development/deployment for mac was released in a pre-alpha state, barely functional and very painful to use. mind you the pascal language exists for as long as C and there have always been pascal compilers for unix and mac/OSX. but still they fucked up. maybe it has gotten better, but why not just use Qt instead. Better community, more features, stable, LGPL/GPL, widely used, interfaces with every C/C++ library,...

I need to make a program that can modify contacts from a .csv file exported from Odoo in Java.
Anyone knows if I can find something similar already made. I'm a lazy piece of shit and don't know how and where to start.

>>57477693
>I just wanted something that will make my work easier without getting in my way.
Yeah, vim and emacs are designed for that. That's the point of text editors, to give you tools to edit text. The tools are just used in different ways. Why do you think they're designed to get in your way just because you don't know how to use them? You'd be saying the exact same thing if you started with vim and then went over to VS.

Do you see how stupid that sounds? Why did you bother to even try to switch in the first place if you aren't willing to learn?

You can modify a csv easily enough in any spreadsheet program.

it would probably be easy to parse and work with the file using python
I set up something quick for a tab delimited file in under an hour to create a histogram

I'm currently creating an AI for PLO (pot limit omaha poker).
My previous solution was a decent 'training tool' for 100NL, but this time I'm looking to get close to GTO, on a scale of (for epsilon->0).
Giant search space ofc, but with some neat algorithms and cloud computing, that's no longer a problem.

>>57477728
1. do your own homework
2. csv format is piss easy, literally, it will not got easier
3. java should not be the tool of choice for this task (any task)
4. pick another language
5. start buy using your brain, then google, then brain.

True. And irrelevant to my situation.

>Why did you bother to even try to switch in the first place
Because VS doesn't exist for linux, and i don't know what does that is comfy.
VSCode maybe? But i've heard it's not so hot with c++.

>>57477825
>But the reality remains that they do get in my way.
How? Literally how? It's the exact equivalent of jumping in a car without knowing how to drive and then bitching that you don't have time or you have more interesting things to do than learn how to drive in a car, and it gets in your way. Learn how to use it and tell it what you want to do. Learn to speak it's language instead of complaining on an anonymous imageboard. Don't want to do that? Go back to your old editor. I too do not have time to learn another editor, which is why I'm not screaming that emacs "gets in my way" but instead just using vim or learning how to use emacs in the first place.

>>57477825
Sublime text

>>57477851
>Go back to your old editor.
I will, for now. I tried emacs, at least.

Man, i don't know why you're getting so upset about this. It's like i kicked your puppy, or something.

>>57477859
I don't like how Sublime keeps nagging me for money.

>>57477896
>Man, i don't know why you're getting so upset about this. It's like i kicked your puppy, or something.

Good old switcharoo. Complain about something, get upset about it not "working", get called out on being retarded, and then call the other guy upset. You're the kind of person that makes tech support want to kill themselves.

>>57477825
I'm amazed somebody willing to use linux is so unwilling to take 5 minutes to learn a new interface for a new tool.

It's no different than any other editing tool or IDE, there's a learning curve before you can really take full advantage of the power it has to offer you.

>>57477910
>Complain about something
>get upset about it not "working"
Yes, i did this.

>get called out on being retarded
I... guess. I cant' really argue with that. It's not like i'm not used to it.

>then call the other guy upset
He literally seems to me to be more upset at this situation than i am, at this point. I don't see why he should be so.

>>57477963
>he
No, it's still me, guy. I could compare it to kicking a puppy, though I'd feel far worse for a puppy. Shit talking dogs because "it doesn't do what you want it to do" on an internet sub forum of people who often have dogs would be retarded, it's likely you just haven't house trained it enough. I'm questioning your slandering of a decent text editor. I really don't care in the grand scheme of things, I just have nothing else to do so I'm challenging your beliefs.

I'm trying to get into WPF/XAML and this is amazing, way more stable and faster than WinForms.
I'm migrating an old image viewer of mine from c# winForms to c# WPF and this shit can even handle 32K pictures without crashing or any performance impact on the CPU part. The only downside is the RAM consumption, I'm still trying to figure it out a way to compress big pictures without much loss.

>>57477948
Because everything else is new as well.
Besides, the 5 minutes i spent with emacs, combined with discussion here, has made decide that emacs i not provide what i want from a code editor.

>>57477963
>I don't see why he should be so.
Insulting somebody's text editor of choice is akin to starting a race war.
Some people get real upset about it.

I still think you should give emacs another go. Keep a cheat-sheet of keybindings open in a side window or something. Or use Vim, I don't really care, but dismissing both of them because you didn't want to take the time to learn the interface is silly.

>>57478034
>everything else is new as well.
As in you're new to linux?
Too much too fast anon. Stick with nano or gedit or something until you're more comfortable. They're both very basic and have sort-of okay syntax recognition once you save a file with the proper extension.

Or notepad++

>>57477991
>No, it's still me, guy
Irrelevant. Learn to anonymous image board.

>>57478056
>again dismissing the rest of my point so you can select out one piece of text and make some stupid remark that has nothing to do with the subject matter, and then not address the actual subject matter

Irrelevant. Learn to debate. Reminder that you've consistently ignored my arguments that emacs is not getting in your way and not provided any proof to the contrary.

>>57478020
>I'm trying to get into WPF/XAML and this is amazing
This is the first and probably last time I think I will ever see somebody say this.

WPF is a huge improvement over WinForms but christ if it isnt a pain to work in.

> Keep a cheat-sheet of keybinding
But that's the point. I could spend some time learning the keybinds, but they don't seem to provide the functionality i wan't in a code editor anyway, so i have no reason to do that.

>>57478050
Gedit and notepad++ is what i've been using. I wanted to see if there was something better out there.

Not only am i not entirely familiar with linux, i'm also learning to work with an unfamiliar api, and that's what i want to spend my limited mental resources on.

What exactly are you looking for in an editor

>>57478081
You don't have a point to dismiss. You have opinions, that i'm not in a position to say anything more about without repeating myself.

>>57478162
No, you're misunderstanding me entirely. Your first post was directly accusative and you have consistently said emacs "gets in the way of you". It is not my opinion that it does not, it is a contrary accusation, a call for you to prove/back up your statement with some form of actually constructive criticism so other anons who use emacs here can help you and so I can see why you actually think emacs is bad for you. You've made a blanket, generic and vague statement and I'm challenging you to refine that statement. I have no opinions on text editors, only opinions of people who complain uselessly about them (and anything else) without a description of the problem of some sort.

>>57478086
>if it isnt a pain to work in
yeah, like I said, I really liked its performance and flexibility, but some things that were really simple and straightforward in forms can be a pain in WPF.

The buffer is clean, is that the default Image control in WPF eats up a lot of RAM, maybe I will look into some 3rd party control

>>57478149
Good, IntelliSense tier, autocompletion and error checking, the ability to jump around and examine definitions through clicking in function calls, variables and macros.
Maybe a 'compile' and a 'run' shortcuts.
Preferably not a lot of other shit i'm not familiar with that will scare and confuse me.

Emacs and Vim both absolutely have that
But, like most things in linux, it's going to require to configure some things.
https://truongtx.me/2013/03/10/emacs-setting-up-perfect-environment-for-cc-programming

And I'm sure you can find one for Vim just as easily.
Emacs and Vim are both so prominent and powerful because they essentially allow you to condense every IDE and editor you use for each language into a single one. I use JDEE and a fistful of Perl extensions and edit all of my Java and Perl inside of Emacs. I have autocomplete, error checking, debugging, the works. But I did have to configure and set it all up.
If I started working with C++ or C I wouldn't have to hunt down a new program, I'd just have to add more plugins to Emacs.

>>57478204
I've made blanket, generic and vague statements, because that's what it felt like using emacs, to me. I am not in a position to give 'constructive' criticism. Only that using emacs felt like using ms office. I dare say if i had directed the same sentiment directly toward office, no one would have batted an eye.

At no point did i get the impression that you were interested in helping me. Only that you were very triggered by my opinion.

>>57478289
Thanks, maybe i'll give that a read then.
