Again:

So I want to actually learn how to program. I know basic stuff like strings, booleans, if-else, etc. I have passed trough that crap numerous times (in C and Python) and then hit the wall because of all the crappy tutorials and free web courses.

Step by step, what books should I learn and when? I don't think that Code Complete or Pragmatic Programmer is going to be really useful this moment as I know next to nothing in general (compared to someone that finished CS college).
And what tasks or little projects should I do between these books? And please no codeacademy or "The Hard Way" crap. I need college-like or better structure not spotty knowledge.

Is this list of books a fine choice in proper order? Anything to add? To remove?

1. Head First Java, 2nd Edition, Sierra
2. Core Java Volume I--Fundamentals (10th Edition), Horstmann
3. Head First Design Patterns: A Brain-Friendly Guide, Freeman
4. Effective Java (2nd Edition), Bloch
5. Core Java, Volume II--Advanced Features (10th Edition), Horstmann
6. Algorithms (4th Edition), Sedgewick
7. Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction, McConell
...
Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship, Martin
The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master, Hunt

Unless you really want to get into OOP, I'd recommend learning more programming languages than Java. Don't know what are good books, though.

>>57983026
The best way to learn programming is to work on stuff. Problems and projects.

Half of your reading list is Java shit and the other half won't give you much if you don't simultaneously apply what you learn.

>>57983096
C? Maybe if I will go into embedded stuff
I will look into that SCIP.

>And what tasks or little projects should I do between these books?

>>57983096
>the best programming book ever coupled with a shitty c manual.
no

>>57983061
Too many books with overlapping content.

An algorithms textbook should be near the top of the list. Honestly it would be the first thing I read. It might be useful to purchase the Core Java books, but only as a reference. Reading them cover to cover will waste too much of your time. The Head First Java books seem outdated, and design patters are not that important honestly. Certain design patterns are useful to know, but I would Google them on a case-by-case basis.

Here's my recommended reading list:

1. An algorithms text. Sedgewick's book is well regarded. Personally I read CLRS, but it is too mathematical for many people.
2. Core Java for the Impatient. It has a fast pace but is well written. You can always Google topics that were explained too quickly.
3. Effective Java. Good book.
4. Whatever you feel like learning next. I would recommend some domain specialised book, such as a text on concurrency or machine learning.

Remember that you will learn infinitely more by trying shit out and Googling than by reading books, so don't rely on books to turn you into a good programmer.

>>57983164
Then you should still learn more than just Java. I'm not saying ditch Java entirely. Just that you should take other things up, so you will know more than OOP.

>>57983197
Anything that interests you.

>>57983207
Thanks.
Algorithm first? Just test algorithms in Python then and switch to Java later?

It might be optimal to read an algorithms text concurrently with a Java text. You can use the algorithms text to practice the syntax.

>Afraid of becoming a googler with shit portfolio that would turn away potential employers
I'm not discouraging you from pursuing personal project, just know that best way to finish such a project is to rely on your ability to find relevant info on the Web, rather than through books.

It took me years to unlearn the bad habits of Java-flavored OOP. It isn't really about objects and it doesn't help you program. Shoulda called it inheritance-driven obfuscation or something.

At least put that shit in a pretty GUI.

Make it motivate you somehow.

So as part of an internship I've been working for the past few months I've been developing a Task Scheduler (similar to Windows Task Scheduler). It runs 24/7 as a service that communicates with multiple thin clients, through a SQL database. I wanted to have the clients communicate with the service through TCP/IP but the other devs said that would be overkill so I've had to deal with the issues of database interaction.

It's running pretty well, but there's a situation I'm afraid of. In case of SQL exception (if the server is down or connection faulty), the internal representation for a task in memory of the service may become different than what is being stored in the persistent database. (Tasks are represented as an object within the service, created from data in the database, and when a task is modified/run by the service it updates the DB with new info)

How would you handle an isolated SQL exception to make sure the database is up to date in this case? The service can't stop everything and wait for the connection to open back up as it wakes up and runs on a timer every 5 seconds.

>>57983611

It was the method suggested to me. I'm pretty new to this, they probably should have just bought a 3rd party scheduling application but of course I'm going to take the challenge if it's suggested.

But yes, timer wakes up every 5 seconds, runs its routine, sees if any tasks need to be run, runs them, etc. This isn't the most advanced operation and the senior devs run scripts that use polling regularly so the standards aren't high.

Out of curiosity though, what would be better than polling for a scheduling application written from the ground up?

>>57983658
You have a Python else if statement that is comparable in size to a switch statement from other languages for a fucking CLI application when Python has ways around this. RTFM.

How do I sync code between laptop/pc and a friend? I was thinking git but then the repo would have tons of commits, I'm now thinking one private repo for everything I'm working on then when it's ready for release I move it into it's own repo that only has one commit then delete it from the private repo, is this the best way?

I have to use C++ to interact with a media player SDK so I'm learning that and seeing why people get frustrated with it. C++ seems powerful and easy to write but kind of annoying to read other peoples undocumented work when it revolves around classes and templates scattered all over headers as well as overloading allowing for variable function arity, default parameters are also confusing sometimes. That seems like a real nice feature but I hate having to reference the headers to find out what the same function will do if I pass it x args instead of y args and type considerations on top of that.

Load a bunch of instructions into some bot and have them execute their instruction as soon as they're holding at least 2 microchips.
The instructions are simply to give their high or low numbered microchip to another bot or to an output bucket.

while (!done) /* run commands */
{
    done = 1;
    for (i = 0; i < BOTS; i++)
    {
        if (bot[i].idx >= 2)
        {
            done = 0; /* keep running */
            int low = min(bot[i].store[0], bot[i].store[1]);
            int high = max(bot[i].store[0], bot[i].store[1]);
            for (j = 0; j < 2; j++) /* give */
            {
                int addr = bot[i].send[j].addr;
                int mode = bot[i].send[j].mode;
                struct bin *to = (mode == BOT) ? bot : out;
                to[addr].store[to[addr].idx++] = (j == LOW) ? low : high;
            }
            memset(&bot[i], 0, sizeof(struct bin)); /* wipe bot */

You and your friend need to go look up some git tutorials to learn how to use it properly instead of trying to force it to work with the shitty workflow idea already in your head.

And nobody gives a shit if your commit log isn't aesthetically pleasing, who gives a shit.

>>57983828
>>57983877
It looks like it dependent of the scheduling.

>>57983815
It depends on what kind of person you are and what types of learning you're receptive to.

If you like lectures you might want to try a free CS course on edx.
If you like reading books on your own there's suggestions for that.
If you like tutorials there's those online.
If you like games there's things like Shenzhen I/O.

Those are just methods of learning though, even then it's hard to say what to learn in what order. Some people do better learning from the ground up (like starting with ASM or C), others the opposite (something more like Go or Python).

Go seems very nice for beginners but I'm not sure what resources there are for learning, I learned it from reading the spec and already knowing other languages.
Maybe this https://tour.golang.org

I'm writing a library to scan through a JPEG and maybe do some EXIF shit, I dunno. Why the hell is the JPEG spec so awful? It really makes me appreciate formats like PNG more.

Let me rephrase. The actual commands (where is the commands source file) are made to avoid race condition?

In what fucking society did diversity brought any advancement?

It's actually the case that successful and efficient systems bring economic progress that in the end results in people gravitating to that location and system from all around

When that same system advantage over competing system falters (droughts, plagues, social security and gibsmedat, wars, whatever) some "diverse" people leave or just form clans and stab other groups with knives until this civil unrest results in massive flight of more capable people.
And that's how you get bunch of Libanonian-Levantine orthodox christian economists in France (they ran away in 70's).

Diversity brings instability.

People don't have to have different place of birth, fuckhole or skin color to have different ideas.

What's /dpt/'s opinion on pthreads?
Personally, it's my favourite multithreading library and I don't understand why other languages don't straight up copy it in making their own libraries.

>>57984304
Ada's threading in sightly nicer, to be honest.

>>57984304
You can use pthreads on literally every platform that matters, so I don't see any drawbacks.

I really do wish I could shove pthreads functionality into my programs putting all relevant variables in a struct and sneaking in a struct through the SINGLE void pointer it allows per worker.

The number one thing Java encourages you to fuck up is to make every "part" of your simulation its own object, with its own level of encapsulation. What ends up happening is you create all these layers of indirection and 99% of them are useless and redundant. Ever hear of a Chinese fire drill?

The best thing you can do for yourself is to spend some time in a language where data is data and code is code and you can't make "objects." You need to be aware that in most cases, this is enough to make your program work, and even in the rate situation where you NEED encapsulation (to guarantee data integrity) there are other ways to achieve it. C, Scheme, and Haskell are some good options here. Pick up one or more of these languages as soon as possible.

>It would be nice if my uni covered setting up a good development environment instead of just sticking us with huge IDEs that do everything for you.
It would be nice if you graduates even knew how to use an IDE.

Someone wasted half their day trying to create an integration with some website to generate classes from XML. I had to show them that is was literally built into VS with Paste Special. They didn't even know it was there, so they were going to spend hours writing something that would require constant maintenance.

I'm working on a project in Java, and could use some help. I'm making a checkers game, and I've come across a few problems.I need to create a win/loss condition when it's not possible to do any more moves, and what to do when double jumping.

>It would be nice if you graduates even knew how to use an IDE.

Yeah, this is something that concerns me too! The reason in part that I'm put off by IDEs is that they're so powerful and have so much feature scope that I feel lost working in them, like I'm a dumb child operating this huge machine (which maybe I am). If I felt like I was competent in an IDE I would be a lot happier using it.

>However, I agree with the sentiment that grads should be taught all of the things tangentially related to writing a program, outside of writing the actual code. I don't give a damn if it's with an IDE or with a "Totally-Not-An-IDE" text editor with 30+ third-party addons.

The appeal of a text editor like Sublime is that the plugin model allows me to compartmentalize different functions and understand them on their own. This lets me set the pace at which the complexity of the editor grows to match how I'm learning to use it.

Maybe there is an argument to be had that I'm better off just focusing on programming itself and not hindering that by being stuck on learning how to use specific tools, but that's a frustrating way to learn for me. I like to have thorough understanding of a piece of the process before I move on.

You should read up on the differences between Cygwin and Mingw/Msys/Msys2, I don't think I'd do a good enough job explaining it. The brief thing I could say is that Cygwin is more like a compatability layer and target and msys is more a native solution.

The sad truth is, everybody has a slightly different idea about MVC. For example which part interacts with each other, which part carries the logic and so on. Does data validation belong to the model, the view or the controller? There are good reasons for each point of view.

The most important part is probably to be consistent. Also the tech you are using does give you some defaults on what you can/should do.

My personal opinion is, that controllers should do the work, the view being a mere surface for the user. The model should validate data, the view should pre-validate it - but data validation is also doable by the controller.

>>57985919

I would like to add that MVC is still a great idea, "seperations of concerns" will make much easier for you.

Also MVC also works in small scale. If you think about HTML, JavaScript and CSS you also have a sort of "micro MVC".. You could argue about HTML being the model (providing raw text and divs, but no manipulation) JavaScript being the controllers (i.e. a button click leads to a specific action) and CSS the view (controller decides, that after button is clicked, the button turns red):
JS operates on HTML, providing CSS.


Of course that's a gross oversimplification, i.e. when you use ".class:hover" in CSS you already have a controller here.


But it's just a simple example on how you COULD look at MVC:

Model = data, data logic (i.e. relational database)
View = data from the model, filtered and manipulated
Controller = gets triggered from a view, looking for an appropriate action (i.e. data insertion), providing a new view to the outside after that action

>>57986272

how do i know number of elements in a array in C?

what's the most safest/ portable method?

i saw this one

sizeof(array)/sizeof(array[0])

>>57985781
Style gripe: Don't cast malloc() calls.

There is zero point since casting the void * values on assignment is already implicit. You already have the variable telling you what type it is, this isn't pre-c89 code anymore so you don't have to care about casting malloc() calls or any other function that returns void * values.

memmove(src, &src[n], strlen(&src[n]) + 1);

This is probably incorrect.

&(array[index]) is pretty retarded compared to just (array+index) especially since the square brackets are just syntactic sugar that gets expanded to *(array+index) anyway, and &(*(array+index)) doesn't actually point to inside the array, it could point to wherever this dereferenced value is stored. It'd like doing &1.

Just do src+n.

Your strins() is probably just as wrong. Did you even bother testing it before asking? Write tests.

>how do i know number of elements in a array in C?
You don't.

You either know how many elements there are while writing the code, or you come up with a struct or array content schema that you can scan and check for.

But arrays are just basically aliased pointers. There is no inherent size value you can look up or find. If you are just passing around dynamically created arrays willy-nilly, unless you tell your functions what the size of the array is too, you can't actually know.

That's why libc functions that take array arguments usually ask for size values. Because they can't know, won't know, and maybe you only want to work on a smaller subset of the array anyway.

>>57986614

>>57987468
Synchronizing state, I should say.

The client doesn't do RPC on the server or anything silly like that. Both the client and server are carrying out the game simulation. The client sends input directly from the player to the server, and the server sends back snapshots of the state so that the client can synch up.

>>57987530
All you need is futures with a job system for multithreading. For networking you basically just want to continuously send and receive updated state and rarely you might want futures for guaranteed messaging.

You can tell from the doxygen comments right above it. It doesn't have data and wl_registry in its param lists.
I guess wl_registry is just the "object" that the function works on, and data is just some arbitrary user data.

Anyone have a link to a good tutorial to developing on iOS, including platform to use (I currently have XCode -- not sure if that's a good one to use)? I'm on a Mac, if that helps.

I found this, but not sure if it's a good tutorial
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/DevelopiOSAppsSwift/
(I also don't know Swift.) I'd rather develop on Android since I already know Java, but everyone I know has an iPhone, and I can't get word-of-mouth going as well (on an immediate, personal level) on Android, even if the latter has a larger user base.

Will you eventually end up doing anything but copy the Trinity engine?

Not an insult, just saying that this is where almost all solo game network devs end up doing, making an inferior Trinity clone. What makes the clones inferior most of the time are the unnecessary complexities people introduce to their engine.

you could get data online that gives you the percentages i.e a study that documents 100,000 coin flips or something

invert -> stipple -> invert produces an interesting effect (better when using source colors).

>>57987949

Yes.

>>57987940
yea but there is still a slight bias if i'm not mistaken,at least for non "highly-proprietary" algorithms i guess.

for a coin flipper it still should be enough.
>>57987949
I was talking purely about the computation behind it

I'm trying to read the value of a digital potentiometer when it turns on and then have it count up to maximum then reset to minimum while outputting the current value to serial.I'm apparently fucking up something with the integer I'm receiving is all I can figure. Also I have zero programming knowledge so theres a good chance this is 100% wrong.

#include <Wire.h>
#define pot_address 40 

byte val = 0;

void setup()
{
    Wire.begin();//join i2c bus
    Serial.begin(9600);
    Wire.requestFrom(40, 1);    // request 1 bytes from slave device #40
    while(Wire.available())    // slave may send less than requested
    {
         byte val = Wire.read();    // receive a byte as character
         Serial.println(val);         // print the character
    }

}

void loop()
{
    Wire.beginTransmission(40);//transmit to device#40
    Wire.write(byte(0xaa)); // sends instruction byte
    Wire.write(val);    // sends potentiometer value byte
    Wire.endTransmission(); //stop transmitting
    
    val++;   //increment value
    if(val == 256) //if reached 256th positon (max)
    {
        val = 0; //start over from lowest value
    }
    delay(500);
}

No, it's not
there are real mathematical functions that create pure randomness, I just forgot how and it's late
search for the random functions Wolfram uses or has used in the past, you will find some crazy solutions that don't rely on some weirdly added up hash functions

If it's pure, it deterministic, and if it's deterministic, it's not random.

This is the old code in net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:

mtu -= hlen + sizeof(struct frag_hdr);

and this your suggested replacement:

if (overflow_usub(mtu, hlen + sizeof(struct frag_hdr), &mtu) || mtu <= 7)
  goto fail_toobig;

The problem as I see it is that the overflow_usub() function is non-standard and requires special compiler support to generate reasonably efficient code. That function hasn't been used anywhere else in the code base before. Also, the code uses two conditionals. Consider this replacement:

if (mtu < hlen + sizeof(struct frag_hdr) + 8)
  goto fail_toobig;
mtu -= hlen + sizeof(struct frag_hdr);

It takes the same number of lines, doesn't need a little-known helper function, is clearer in its intent and, I think, is easier to read. There could still be overflow issues if the "hlen + xyz" expression overflows, but the "overflow_usub()" code has that same issue.

Also, we are near to rc7 time, and we don't want conflicts at this point.

Thank you for submitting the code, but, for all the aforementioned reasons, I have to reject it and will do so for similar code in the future.

:^)

Anything unpredictable is as truly random as you can get. But predictions may get better.

I know it's cringy and you're right about that, but it's pretty hard to disagree imo


The "sad" thing is that eventually most of the software will have to be rewritten for that, starting with the essential ones since most of those computers will still be used in the science field for the next 5 years +.

Are there any C# + F# programmers here? I'm primarily (read: entirely) a Lisp developer for the past couple of years but I'm really starting to feel some friction from lack of libraries and lack of good compiler/editor integration*.

I'd like to learn F#, but do I need to learn C# first? How good is the interop between them? Apparently if your program uses a GUI you still need to use C# for it. Will I be able to just whip up a straightforward GUI and do all of my programming in F#? I haven't found any guides or tutorials (or even many people) aimed towards people who are in my particular situation of being more comfortable with functional programming and dynamic typing than their reverse.

Anyone got the newest version of g programming challenges? Think it was 4.0?

Whoops, forgot the addendum:

* Emacs is fine, but seeing the sort of inference and cool things .NET can do via Roslyn's self-reflection and incremental compilation and scoping makes things like auto-complete via ctags look piss-poor in comparison.
