Tried writing some GL graphics code in Rust to see if it could be practical and if I'd turn into an SJW land whale in the process. Results are inconclusive at this time, for both questions.

However, I'm now quite convinced the GL specs are absolutely retarded about data types. I know old school C doesn't give a shit but this is supposed to be a well-thought out standard of some sort and it keeps mixing unsigned, signed and even pointers(!) with each other as if they didn't matter; all of those require a cast in Rust, making the API look uglier than ever.

you know you have to put braces around multiple statements after an if?

in your case you'd execute only the first statement after each if and execute the second intended one everytime. You'd print "you have... guesses left" every loop

Yeah, thanks.

I had it in braces before and it worked, then i removed them because it made the code shorter, the compiler didn't list any errors so i thought it was ok.

Have to remember to test it all the time

I just finished working through K&R and I want to do some shit in C. What are some good little open-source programs to hack?

I'm currently using dwm as window manager and it looks like the perfect project to modify (completely written in C, very small and well documented), but I'm not that experienced yet and I don't think I can into X programming yet. If anyone knows any projects in a similar vein I'd love to know about them. I'm on Linux btw.

If you know exactly what you're doing, GL 3.3 (and maybe a 4.x extension or two) are basically GL: The Good Parts. Supported on just about any PC and some mobile hardware, and potentially very fast.

Figuring out how to use it, however, _is_ a fucking pain because of all the outdated tutorials and even old API specs still maintained on the web.

>>58586401
c# equivalent of #include

>>58586396
Xlib isn't hard at all actually, just skim through the docs a bit and see yourself. you could add notification functionality using glib / gtk+ or a clock, or implement the ability to make windows vertical, those are the things i'd like to see in dwm
you could also make a decent terminal emulator to replace st, its god awful

>>58586396
Most of the suckless stuff is very simple and seems somewhat easy to fuck around with.
If you're seriously inexperienced with C though, it would probably be a better idea to write a few programs of your own first to get somewhat decent at it.
Trying to dive right into "real world" programs is probably just going to be overwhelming and confusing.

>>58586462
even worse when using scheme as there's even less tutorials for that... and half of the things make it almost impossible to run 3.3 as only glls works properly if I don't implement half of it in C.

I'm stuck with a problem within MFC (which I have to use because reasons): I want to have a window that keeps its aspect ratio no matter what. Drag? Simple enough. Maximize? Yeah ok, capture the WM_ and do stuff. But tiling operations such as WINKEY + RIGHT? Get fucked. Anyone know of an implementation I could look at?

>>58586509
don't bother, C++ is awful, just do a regular template and use <, it won't compile for types that can't be compared (the error message will still be garbage)

>>58586509
>how do I ensure the type used in the template can be compared?
You can't. You just HOPE that the type overloads the comparison operators and actually returns at least a partial ordering from it.
You really shouldn't use C++. It's complete garbage.

>>58586439
yes, Javascript is a shitty language
but so is, for example, C (if you're saying type soundness / coercion is the principle behind quality).

struct s { void * d; };

That's undefined behaviour, you fucking idiot.

there is no decent way of avoiding this, unless you want to fucking do a base class just for comparison

thank you based opencv template matching

>>58586497
>even worse when using scheme
Ah ok, I can understand that. At least from my brief experiment with Rust it's only casting, casting everywhere.

And no working offsetof --- better explain those magic numbers in comments or something.

>>58586509
There was a proposed C++ feature called Concepts that would have implemented this, but the language is already so fucking complicated they couldn't polish all the details in time for the last few editions of the standard. It almost got into C++17 but was rejected by the committee.

Right now if you pass an incompatible type as a template argument it'll just get going and generate invalid garbage, then shit out several screens of failed resolution attempts. It can get pretty unreadable, especially with the standard library.

>>58586562
yep. my point. UB is still part of the language. (or the lack of.. just like implementation-defined, unspecified and well-defined behaviors are). the guy I'm replying to is saying javascript isn't a real language because it has some memetastic qualities. if thats true then a lot of languages aren't "real".

newbie here

So I made this little program to find the fraction of whatever number you type in (num) within the range of 1-rng

so for example if i want to find the number 1.47 within the range of 25 it will return 22/15, actually a tuple of (22, 15) which is an approixmation for 1.47. The higher the rng the higher the accuracy.

How should i make it more effective and quick? When rng is high it takes the loop forever to get it done. i need a more effective algorithm guise

>>58586813
R?

is this good? first program ever.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdbool.h>

void print_plus_one(void) {

    static int a = 0;
    printf("%d\n", a);
    static bool reachedTen = false;
        

    if(a == 10){
        reachedTen = true;

    };

    if (reachedTen == false){
        a++;
    };
    if(reachedTen == true){
        a--;
    };
    
}

int main(void) {

    for(int i=0; i<21; i++){
        print_plus_one();
    }

    return 0;
}

>>58586177
It doesn't seem like anyone answered your question, anon.
I just had a go at reducing the LoC by making it harder to read:

static void Main(string[] args) {
    Console.WriteLine("I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10, you have 4 changes to guess which one");
    var output = new[] { "Higher", "Lower", "You won", };
    var answer = new Random().Next(1, 10);
    var rules = new List<Func<int, bool>> { a => answer > a, a => answer < a, a => a == answer};
    for (var i = 3; i >= 0; i--) {
        var guess = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
        var attempt = rules.Select(rule => rule(guess)).Select((val, index) => new {val, index}).First(result => result.val).index;
        Console.WriteLine(output[attempt]);
        if (attempt == output.Length - 1) break;
        if (i == 0) { Console.WriteLine("You lost"); break; }
        Console.WriteLine("You have {0} {1} left", i, i > 1 ? "guesses" : "guess");
    }
    Console.WriteLine("Answer was: {0}", answer);
}

>>58586910
>== true

it's terrible

but at least you got your braces mostly right

>>58586917
why is it terrible?

>>58586876

from fractions import Fraction

def fract(num, rng):
    return Fraction.from_float(num).limit_denominator(rng)

>>58586915
I'm dumb, reading thru the code I just realized that linq bullshit is too complex for what could happen:

// this is overly complex
var attempt = rules.Select(rule => rule(guess)).Select((val, index) => new {val, index}).First(result => result.val).index;
// shorter and faster, not that it matters on a 3 element list
var attempt = rules.Select(rule => rule(guess)).ToList().IndexOf(true);

>>58586932
You can have

if (bla)

and

if (!bla)

to check whether is bla true or false.

>>58586910
What kind of output do you expect from the program?

>>58586345
How are you enjoying your job so far?

        print("You won!")

    if i == 0:
        print ("You lost!")

>>58586910
If this is your first time and got a program to compile, congratulations I guess.

    static int a = 0;

Don't use static unless you have a very good reason to. It can get confusing as hell if the function is called from multiple places; the different invocations of the function will refer to the same "a" variable and possibly affect each other in surprising ways. You can get the same output from a program that doesn't have this problem.

    if (reachedTen == false){
        a++;
    };

The semicolon after the closing brace does nothing (compiler probably parses it as an empty statement following the if's block, but does not necessarily emit any code).

If you're using gcc or something compatible, always compile your code with "-Wall" to get as much feedback about silly code as possible.

>>58587011

It will, given a decent enough compiler, generate the same instruction. A comparison to == true is more explicit and clear so may help you, as a novice, understand. However, it's a convention used by seasoned programmers.

Reminder: you can solve many problems in your code by yourself if you won't just put your code into the compiler but thoroughly execute your code manually, writing down the state of the program with every line of code.

>>58587047
or you can step through it with a debugger

>>58587011
ANSI C didn't have explicit boolean type, so it performs comparison with 0.
!bla will convert bla into 0 if there was non-zero value, or into 1 if there was zero.

>>58587078
well, i removed it, but i couldn't figure out how to use _Bool quickly, so I rolled my own. i mean, defining a boolean isn't hard. this language is serious podracing

#include<stdio.h>
typedef int bool;
#define true 1;
#define false 0;

void print_plus_one(void) {

    static int a = 0;
    printf("%d\n", a);
    static bool reachedTen = false;
        

    if(a == 10){
        reachedTen = true;

    };

    if (!reachedTen){
        a++;
    };
    if(reachedTen){
        a--;
    };
    
}

int main(void) {

    for(int i=0; i<21; i++){
        print_plus_one();
    }

    return 0;
}

>>58587109

#define true 1;

    static bool reachedTen = false;

Careful with macros: #define is not a C statement and doesn't have to end with a semicolon. This preprocesses into

static bool reachedTen = false;;

.

>>58587141
and

>>58587109
That looks ugly.

#include <stdio.h>

void print_plus_one(void) {
    static int a = 0;
    printf("%d\n", a);
    static int reachedTen = 0;
        
    if (a == 10) {
        reachedTen = 1;
    }

    if (!reachedTen) {
        a++;
    } else {
        a--;
    }
}

Keep it simple, stupid.

>>58587141
Should probably have copypasted the line with #define false on it.

Also, you could just use 1/0 as true/false like real C programmers. Unreadable crap means you're either a super wizard or at least have breddy gud job security.

(but I'm all for basic c99 'cause its not 1991)

>>58587250
Plenty of C APIs basically do this already: You construct an object by calling CreateSomething, which returns an opaque typedef'd pointer, then invoke methods on said object by calling functions that accept the pointer and maybe some other parameters.

It's a pretty common pattern in Windows APIs since they can be called from C, C++, C# or even PowerShell.

ppffft, is that even webscale? Better use node

>>58587304
I know that's how you do it. My question is, why?

I was under the impression that the main benefits of object-oriented programming, like information hiding, polymorphism and so on, weren't as much of a concern in C, if they were at all. Sure, I imagine there are ways of achieving these benefits somehow, but I still don't see a reason to do it when you could use something like C++ with far less hassle.

>>58587250
Object oriented programming is about putting functions in the same namespace as the data type.

Most C programmers just define struct Foo and then define functions like foo_bar and foo_baz with the namespace prefix.

>>58587318
c11 doesn't add that much useful stuff.

anonymous unions/struct are nice
static asserts can be useful
_generic is pretty ugly

and more than half the stuff is optional

>>58587338
>>58587346
Just don't you dare write old and busted JS, use ES2017 instead. Who cares if it's standardized properly or not when you can just transpile it and confuse everyone with syntax from the future.

>>58587359
They are a concern if you're trying to write a standard multiplatform API that may need drastically different things under the hood in different systems.

Also, clean and safe APIs are much easier to bind into other languages.

vector<std::wstring> tokenvec = tokenize(wLine,L"\t\n");
            if (tokenvec[0].at(0) == L"/") // ISO C++ forbids comparison between pointer and integer

How come I get a pointer when I read a single wchar?

One good reason is ABI compatibility. C has a stable ABI, C++ does not (unless you expose a C one)

>>58587375
It's nice to have memory alignment in a portable way, I guess.

Anyone have a simple solution for swapping "," to "." for keypresses?

Using a german keyboard but my program uses US numerics, cuz it's easier to code with.

Most things i've found don't tell how to swap the keys only how to handle them. "SendKey" doesn't really work.

ALSO!

There's nothing simple about any of that.

>>58587486
>ABI

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_binary_interface

tl;dr it's the binary analog to an API. If the ABI is stable, it means I can compile my library on compiler A and 10 years later you can compile a program on compiler B that can still use library A without recompiling it. It's pretty important for FFI, and that's a main reason gtk does object-oriented programing in C rather than C++. So it's much easier to bind a new language to gtk than it is to qt.

Many of those old Unix utilities are written in a pretty awful style desu. A very error prone style too; would not pass code review in a modern environment.

But they're known to work so who cares.

>>58587486
>ABI?
Application Binary Interface. Calling conventions, low-level handling of types, etc.

C is simple enough it's basically standard at least for a particular combination of architecture and OS, but C++ has many more things going on under the hood --- like how to implement virtual functions when they can't be statically analyzed --- and different compilers tend to do them in different ways, leading to binary compatibility issues.

>>58587513
GNU likes to be extremely portable (just not consistent from version to version) and having a tons more feature creep and thus complexity breeds.

also, the bsd guys are known for their amazing C quality

let check out cat:
netbsd: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/bin/cat/cat.c?rev=1.54.4.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
gnu: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/plain/src/cat.c

a conspiracy theory is that stallman wants gnu coreutils to be so fucking complex that any infraction on the GPL will be noticable, and also hard to accomplish

            'e.Key = ChrW(Key.OemPeriod)
            e.Handled = True
        End If

The problem is that "Sendkey" doesn't work and i'd rather not have to go through a ton of trouble to do this simple change.

You should use goto for error handling in C, prove me wrong.

Trying to understand the theory behind approximation algorithms and more accurately one phrase in the book: This linear program is the dual linear program of the set cover linear programming relaxation.

So I have a NP-hard problem, for which I have a linear programming solution that works only in theory but runs in polynomial time (did not understand how) which is sort of neat. Then I use that Z*_LP to devise a dual solution which is supposed to effectively round the fractional x*_j items of Z*_LP and provide me with an alpha-approximation that's within a factor of alpha of the original problem's optimal integer programming solution.

I should probably try to find a good place to understand the concept of 'dual' better and how it's used to create primal linear programs.

tl;dr; what the hell is a dual and what's the intuition behind it

You really should get in the habit of writing i < len, it's more descriptive and otherwise you're flirting with bugs.

I've been learning Python for just over a month, I also want to start coding some neat project for Win10/7 to improve.

As in overview ( https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d56de412(v=vs.110).aspx ) they suggest to code the following:
it should be a service deamon for system monitoring and performing certain actions when, for example, some system value threshold is met. I also want to implement network communication (i.e. wget analogue). They also note starting to write it in C#, since it is the default for Visual Studio.

Any good books and resources regarding all of these?

Hey guys I'm drawing a blank for some functionality in Java. I've got a set of three variables (string, int, double) for my project that need to be kept "together" and eventually I'm going to have a list of them.

My first thought was to make a class with three instance variables but I wouldn't need any methods. I remember from uni days that there is something you can do in java that lets you group multiple variables together like this without having to make an entire class. My brain is apparently still sleeping cause I can't remember it.

>>58589448
Sounds like an anonymous type.

>>58589560
Yeah I'd rather avoid that, it doesn't seem like it will save me that much space.

>>58589497
Use stack instead, or another thing you could do is if you have a cabal project, you can make sure the package is used by that project, and use

cabal repl

Also, I'd use something like MonadRandom (possibly even write your own) rather than System.Random, assuming you don't want to be threading the generator around everywhere

Figuring out data types is the most crucial part of OOP, or any other programming for that matter.
If you have data that is grouped but can't obviously be made into its own data type then you likely have serious design problems

This happens when you install a package globally, and the previous packages were installed locally. Note that cabal-install install locally by default and the "runhaskell Setup" commands install globally by default.

How do I select an entire column in Sublime Text 3? All the way to the bottom of the file.

I know about Shift + Right Click. It works, but I want it to go all the way to the bottom. Similar as to doing Ctrl + A, I guess.

Trying to implement substrings for sauce in 4chanX
kinda redundant, but it's mostly for my own things

for key of parts
      parts[key] = parts[key].replace /%(T?URL|IMG|[sh]?MD5|board|name|%|semi|sname\[\d*(\,\d*)?\])/g, (_, parameter) ->
        type = Sauce.formatters[parameter] post, ext
        if not type?
          skip = true
          return ''

is the current regex catch, seems to work fine

    sname[n1,n2]: (post) -> substr(post.file.name,0+n2,n1) 

is probably not gonna work tho. It is probably gonna get passed as a string while the variable is gonna be something like sname[4,2] and it's gonna just catch if it's exactly "sname[n1,n2]" as a string.
I haven't even tried building it yet, I can already see where the trainwreck is gonna happen

otherwise, get get get set set set generally looks nicer

I am interested in contributing to the AMD radeon HD foss drivers, as I have had a 7770 in my desktop for years and always tried to use the foss drivers. I have the standard AP comp sci java knowledge any student has, I know a bit of ruby and even less c, although I have the ansi c book and am reading it. This would be my first time contributing to an open source project, and I have no idea where to start and probably won't understand any of the code. Anyone have some tips on where to begin? Any tutorials on how beginners can contribute to big low-level projects like these? Or maybe about open source drivers in general? I want to be able to contribute as soon as possible, but I will be reading and learning more stuff on the side to supplement this. Pls help.

Well, yeah, it all depends how simple the use case is. An algorithm could be designed in such a way that the getters or setters may have various things that prevent them from being reordered, and you have to redesign the algorithm to make it work some other way.

Does it require any sort of prerequisite knawledge

What is StateT?

>>58590630
A monad transformer.

>>58590641
Correct! now use it

>>58590630
A monad transformer that adds state like behaviour, e.g.

do
    put 3
    x <- get
    modify (*12)
    modify (+x)

>>58590667
see >>58590664

>>58590630
>>58590667
>>58590689

as an example, RandT from MonadRandom is basically a wrapper on StateT, where the state is a random generator type (e.g. a seed)

rather than put (assignment) and get (reading), it gives you getRandom (reads the generator, calls a generator function, producing a new random generator and the result, and then sets the generator state)

>>58590556
>Does it require any sort of prerequisite knawledge
Basic programming concepts like variables, loops and branching.

>>58590689
And here's another use of stateT:

-- basically (++ i), where i is the internal state
counter :: (MonadState Int m) => m Int
counter = do
    modify (+1)
    get

-- tags the input value with the counter
count :: (MonadState Int m) => a -> m (a, Int)
count x = do
    c <- counter
    pure (x, c)

and

mapM count
-- labels a tree

>>58590767
though you'd generally want

flip evalState 0 . mapM count

>>58590664
No. I do OCaml only.
