i'm waiting for aliens to land

I'm trying to implement a very generic finite element method solver in C++. So far it works well for 1D order 1 and 2 elliptic PDEs and supports 2D geometry and assembling. Design is inspired from Fenics except I use Eigen as the back-end and the interface is C++. I'll post some screenshots/samples when I get my exporter done.

of course in the future these traits will be called something different, but it wouldn't change the essence of them since they predate our species.

how would you solve this?

>>59318367
Without having thought too much about it, I'd implement it like a sort of game of snake. Basically store the direction and how far you've moved so far. Then at each step give the case the head of the snake is on the number.

i don't know why you think this has anything to do with 4chan.

>4chan is shit and it always will be

>it doesn't need people to "defend" it
we are currently on the offensive. we've been defending for far too long. as you can see the current state of the world reflects this quite well.

I'm sending a lot of data from some lab equipment. There's 60 channels running at 40khz each, so a decent amount of data. Currently I'm sending everything over a single socket, would it be better to use multiple sockets in a threaded solution? For instance 12 sockets each sending data from 5 channels?

 Write a program, which finds the maximal sequence of increasing elements in an array arr[n]. It is not necessary the elements to be consecutively placed. E.g.: {9, 6, 2, 7, 4, 7, 6, 5, 8, 4} -> {2, 4, 6, 8}.

I don't even understand the question, can anyone explain?

It's pretty easy, compare two elements and if the first element is larger then comapre the next two.
If the first is smaller, store it in a list. Compare the next two with the last element in the list. add the smaller element to the list. Then compare the next two to the list and do this until the input list ends.

Are american programming jobs really being taken over by H1B pooloos?

I'm finishing up my undergrad CS degree right now. Should I try going into academia? Seems more fun than enterprise java drudgery anyways

>>59323987
In some ways, where you will use it it will probably mean "we don't have time", "we don't have money", "we are too dumb" or "we don't like you as a client and want to be over with this asap". But it can also be proposed as a boundary for clarity. If your a team with a specialized concern you probably should stick to that in that context it's more grey but you're protecting your team from spreading themselves thin, programmers are often workaholics. Giving them too much to do can seriously hurt them long term (as it did to my mom).

>>59324214
Yes this happens. The fact that H1B is utilized is more or less proof of it. The abuse of H1B for hiring low-skill employees is a modern form of slavery and is certainly the bigger concern.
>academia vs private sector
For the most part these are very different things and your preference for either shouldn't be determined by H1Bs.

>>59324286
Thanks for the response

>For the most part these are very different things and your preference for either shouldn't be determined by H1Bs.
I haven't decided which path I want to take, but I have tried my best to keep both paths open to me, should I make up my mind. I have done a couple internships which should help in pursuing a private sector job, but most of these jobs seem to be your average enterprise development positions.
Not only would such a job be boring, my skills would get rusty doing absolutely nothing of value for 8 hours per day for the rest of my life.
All the interesting low-level programming and security analysis jobs seem to require a Master's or PhD with published research, so I was considering going to grad school with the goal of getting a more interesting and valuable job.

How does XOR works when I want to perform it on multiple values at once? Will I not eventually end up with a value made of all 1s?

    int num;
    for (num = 2; num < SIZE; num++){
        if (x[num]==0){ // we want to print this number
            printf("%d ",num);
            if (num % 10 == 0){ // add a line fracture for every 10 numbers it prints
                printf("\n");
            }
        }
    }
}

Why doesn't it add any line fractures at all?

Because

if (x[num]==0 && num % 10 == 0)

Is never true? It depends on what's in the x array.

The simplest way to get what your comment says

// add a line fracture for every 10 numbers it prints 

Would be something like this:

    int num;
    int printedNums=0;        
    for (num = 2; num < SIZE; num++){
       if (x[num]==0){ // we want to print this number
           printf("%d ",num);
           printedNums++;
           if (printedNums % 10 == 0){ //when we've printed 10 numbers we print a newline
                printf("\n");
                printedNums=0; //Overflow autism

Is there people who are seriously into optimizing and profiling that still hold these as truths? I really didn't think so. But this was written in 2015, so that's fairly recent. And looking at the talk it got a laugh out of the Cpp-con crowd who are relatively good at this stuff.

Is this really surprising to people? I thought it'd be pretty obvious.

>>59324575
not everyone is a genius like you

>>59324983
That's very kind but I'm not even that good.
It's just that these ideas are quickly beaten out of your head when you disassemble your first piece of code and actually understand it (most don't have x64 asm as their native language). So for people who are in this specific part of computer engineering it's surprising. It's like someone who paints houses for a living who doesn't know that you should use undercoat.

And here it's even your basic intuition right? If you can use what's in abstract a cheaper operation to avoid an expensive operation that will make your program run faster naturally.
Now that's to true for all cases but it's the most intuitive view imo.

var buttcheeks = ((" "));

String.prototype.in_the_anus = function()
{
  console.log(this.toString());
}

var anus = "gayness in anus".split(buttcheeks);

for(gayness in anus)
{
  gayness = anus[gayness];

  gayness.in_the_anus();
}

>>59324575
Is it obvious that comparing is cheaper than division? I mean I remember that division is the most expensive. Or does ternary get some sort of a special treatment in asm?.

Does anyone use BASIC anymore? I just got offered a job maintaining a bunch of legacy BASIC software for a business with several locations

They do all their sales in this BASIC program and write all the data to a CD once a week and mail it to the main office, that's how they manage their sales data.

They don't want to change the way they do things. Would I be shooting myself in the foot to spend a year or two maintaining this software given that the pay is very good (60k per year) or would it stunt my growth and career to have that on my resume?

the program was originally written in 1988 and runs now on linux and is very convoluted

>>59325280
Well conditionals break the pipeline of older cpus (newer ones can predict it most of the time).

>>59325327
If you want to associate a specific type with the implementer of the trait, you use the second. If you want it to work for all types, you use the first.

This is Rust which is hopefully similar enough to Scala to get an idea:

// universally quantify the type of the other operand to permit arithmetic with multiple types
trait Add<T> {
  // existentially quantify the type of the result as it only depends on the implementer type and the other operand type
  type Output;
  fn add(&self, other: &T) -> Output;
}

If the type depends on the type of the implementer and/or any of the universally quantified type parameters, make it existential. If not, it can be a type parameter.

Another example would be iterating a collection. You'd have a trait defining a method to get an iterator that universally quantifies over the element type but existentially quantifies the iterator type since the iterator type depends on the collection type.

>Is it obvious that comparing is cheaper than division?
It's a bit of a complicated topic for reasons but a compare and jump alone is not too expensive when you don't escape the instruction cache (and if you skip so much that you would then you probably should take that hit anyway).
http://www.agner.org/optimize/instruction_tables.pdf
This is a pretty good document to get an idea of things. If you look at Nehalem (which I tend to target because it's on the low end of my users and it's common) its Fast for compare, jumps and reciprocal jumps.
But their idiv are very bad. Especially when you consider the reciprocal throughput.
Chandler Carruths (guy who presented this at a talk which amazed the author of the article) code would have shown less of a difference if he had more instructions behind the modulus. But it'd still be there. Overall this isn't a particularly interesting case, it's the attitude that bothers me, not the details of the situation.

I'm not sure what that gets you over making Output be a type parameter: any valid instance can be represented both ways, surely? i.e.

trait Add<T, Output> {
  fn add(&self, other: &T) -> Output;
}

(I don't know Rust so the syntax might be wrong)

>Another example would be iterating a collection. You'd have a trait defining a method to get an iterator that universally quantifies over the element type but existentially quantifies the iterator type since the iterator type depends on the collection type.
Similarly, can't that be just expressed like this?

trait HasIterator[It[_], A] {
  def getIterator(): It[A]
}

class List[A] extends HasIterator[ListIterator, A] {
  // ...
}

>>59325556
I guess the main difference in practice is that the type can't be inferred if it's universally quantified. You would have to annotate the type of the expression x.add(y) in order to be able to get the implementation of add.

BASIC job guy here

well shit

why do people hate Java?

Because of long method names, forced OOP and forced boilerplate code.
...That's basically it. It's just the cool kid thing to do for kids to hate on Java even though it's a great language to make things like servers and multithreaded applications with managed thread pools much simpler than something like C.

I get the feeling most of the Java hate come from either:
- Memers
- People who write in dynamically typed languages and static type checking fucks them in the ass.
- People that don't ever write in a lower level language like C to appreciate some of the things java makes easy, or "front end engineers".
And finally:
- People with actual complaints about java because of fucked up industry standards, or just hate the forced abstractions pattern which can make for some really, really bad code. When OOP is originally taught, people are taught inheritance too freely and need to understand that it's in general a bad practice to do over composition and can cause for some horrible boilerplate code passing, which can usually be solved by interfacing then defining implementations there.

The language definitely has its downs and its ups, and has developed a use case now. It's not a language to use for every scenario, but it's an industry standard for a reason.

so are they dealing with something like a theoretical perfect computer and it's IBM's job to try to make hardware that can do their math?

>>59326455

sounds like math

>>59326455

If a computer scientist does not code and does not deal with creating computer hardware, what does he do on a day to day basis that influences computing?

>>59326458
>sounds like he's writing it as an opus to his own vanity
I don't believe it's vanity, but a deep passion for the subject. That's great.
How gray would a world be where everything must be useful? People like Knuth or Terry Davis inspire.
If they can summon that much energy to fulfill their dream, maybe I can get off my lazy ass and finish my little project at least.

Just start learning and calm the fuck down. It's not what you want to hear but it's the truth.

You mainly see it through algorithms. There's algorithms for so much stuff. If you have a problem you usually have some smart guy that thought about it in abstract. It's a great help.

>>59326541
Which would be true, but I wouldn't call it (by "it" I mean stallman) a hardcore guy.

it's a free country he can do what he wants. It's past practical what he is doing though, if you do something for your own enjoyment and passion that does not really benefit others what's the difference between writing a 7 volume computer manifesto and gardening? I am not dissing the guy but it seems like maybe he should not be so quoted by regular computer fags, he's left humanity behind and is not really relateable

Stallman is autistic (by 4chan diagnostic standards). He's an oddball. Don't confuse that with being amazing at programming/computer science.

you aren't a real programmer until you have made money programming

>Don't confuse that with being amazing at programming/computer science.

but he is/was few single humans have accomplished what he has in a career, even if he does not program anymore and has gone off the deepend you have to look at what he did earlier in life, it was pretty much as hardcore as you can get imo

my pronoun is they you may refer to me as they

>>59326604
Someone I would consider hardcore has already been mentioned here.

Brace for the fizzbuzz experts who will inform you of the exact problem definition for the generic fizzbuzz that has nothing to do with actual programming ability.

Write a function that takes as input two integers and outputs their average. Hard mode: no division.

>>59326512
>are they dealing with something like a theoretical perfect compute
yeah

>what does he do on a day to day
for example, they tell us which problems are literally unsolvable or which can be solved "good", analyze algorithms and come up with solutions

computational complexity theory is bretty fascinating in particular imo. "Computers and Intractability" and "Computability: An Introduction to Recursive Function Theory" are interesting to read

>>59326677
Do you want the output rounded, rounded in a particular way, or fractional?

>>59326654
No, it doesn't fulfil the spec.

>>59326653
Do you think "oh, well it's almost right" is good enough for actual programming?

YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE SPEC ANON. OTHERWISE YOU'RE FUCKED.

>>59326677
Impossible in C.

>>59326636
Emacs is the biggest bestest piece of software he has written in my opinion. And while it's good it's not like he did it alone and it's not like its some divine piece of software. He's more of an activist. Very socially interested in computers more than anything. He doesn't give talks on programming or computer science or anything like that. Fame doesn't make you a better programmer.

>>59326690
Integer. Bonus for no modulo.

>>59326698
>He's more of an activist.
Which makes him less than human considering the type of stuff he advocates for aside from things related to computing.

I want to learn python by starting a small project. It's an ambitious project, a full working poker site for fake money. I have some different games I want to do.

Anyways, my question. What website or book do you recommend I bookmark? I am looking for an easy to use website with all the syntax and examples, I haven't been able to find one, so I came here to ask.

Thanks FRIENDLY anons.

>>59326694
The thing about fizzbuzz is that it's a program that isn't a clearly defined operation because it's completely arbitrary. Unless the IEEE has adopted it now or something. I don't look into these things. It'd be another thing if he was to implement something like IEEE float without using the FPU or something.

>>59326723
I think you should just read the doc from the python website then use the Django documentation tbqh. The framework used (probably still is) to be very popular so there is a big community and web development is different enough from regular so that you won't miss too much by not diving in the basics first.

>>59326726
Ooh, do mine!

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

struct rule {
    const unsigned factor;
    const char *string;
};

static const struct rule rules[] = {
    { 3, "Fizz" },
    { 5, "Buzz" },
};

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    for (unsigned i = 1; i <= 100; ++i) {
        bool matched_any_rule = false;

        for (size_t r = 0; r < sizeof(rules) / sizeof(rules[0]); r++) {
            if (i % rules[r].factor == 0) {
                printf("%s", rules[r].string);
                matched_any_rule = true;
            }
        }

        if (! matched_any_rule) {
            printf("%u", i);
        }

        printf("\n");
    }

    return 0;
}

I agree he's basically an activist now but let's face it most people in the field wind up working as a codemonkey somewhere they don't really like, stallman got to do what maybe 1% of people in CS get to do and that is code what he was passionate about without regard for money for many years at the highest level academically possible, that's hardcore to me

>>59326726
>needless optimization
Is it really though? What compilers will automatically pre-increment the value for you?

>>59326748
Will do. I am on the site right now reading it over. p.s. im just jumping into programming, can python handle server processing and front end graphics?

>>59326758
>most people in the field wind up working as a codemonkey somewhere they don't really like
In my country most people in the field work as codemonkeys for 5-10 years, then manage other codemonkeys since the industry is flooded with more codemonkey (but there still is the myth of the shortage of programmers).

>>59326723
>I want to learn python by starting a small project. It's an ambitious project, a full working poker site for fake money. I have some different games I want to do.

that is a very ambitious project anon, I would say it would take a team of at least a handful of skilled coders over a year working full time to get working properly

>>59326778
>can python handle server processing
That's what the framework is for m8 (it's called the back-end, basically the logic/data retrieving that happens).
>front end graphics
Didn't think about that, oops (I was too focused on you mentioning Python), but you should get away with some basic HTML, CSS and Javascript at first.

>>59326757
>(-5) too much code
>(-1) use of "unsigned" instead of "unsigned int"
>(-1) inconsistent: ++i vs r++

Personally, I would've not used stdbool.h, and I would have made the rules array null terminated, but I won't mark off points for personal preference.

>>59326818
Thanks!

>>(-5) too much code
I'm not sure how to make it smaller while still being easy to add more cases to.

>>59326758
Plenty of people work on software they like. I can't say how it was in the past. But I thought we were talking about accomplishment, not how lucky he was to get to do more fun things.
I don't have anything against anyone liking the guy I'm just saying that if you're looking for the Ussain Bolt of programming at least look at someone like John Carmack. A proper engineer.

>>59326773
I'm talking about using char
You likely won't get better space efficiency since the stack is word-aligned, and you likely won't get speed efficiency since operations on words are usually just as fast anyways. If you check the assembler output, it probably extends the char into a word before doing modulo, so that means its actually slower.

>>59326837
I say you should ignore that opinion. It's not too much code if it's easily understood.

>>59326837
Just because it's in an array doesn't mean it's easier to add cases to; just because it's in a function doesn't mean you can't modify it to add more cases.

>>59326789
>>59326810
Is there a good forum to use for python questions?

>>59326848
It probably doesn't respect that you're using char because there's Value Range Propagation (I'm pretty sure) on most compilers. If it finds there won't be overflows it selects the best option for the device compiling for right?

>>59326818
Can you review my fizzbuzz too? It compiles to C so I guess it can be treated as C in some sense.

activate.
prepare functions : num (x) (x) , fizz (x) (x mod 3) , buzz (x) (x mod 5).
prepare list of Int : [1...10000000000000]. ----- compiler : optimize -----
assign : last prepare := n. 
make : tuple => (fizz x, buzz x).
assign : last make := t.
call functions in tuple : t.
assign : last call functions in tuple := c. ----- compiler : inline, optimize -----
check if c :
(0,0) ---> fizzbuzz!!!. ----- compiler : optimize -----
(0,_) ---> fizz.
(_,0) ---> buzz.
_      ---> num (future n). ----- compiler : optimize -----
run multiple times : (iterate n) ∧ c (current n).
run on each n : print result of last : check if.
return to _ : 0.
deactivate.

Is pretty good. It's relatively active. But it's for shorter questions though. Very helpful bunch.

>>59326884
>If it finds there won't be overflows it selects the best option for the device compiling for right?
That sounds reasonable.
Meanwhile, using char is prone to bugs.

Pop quiz: is this an infinite loop?

for (char i = 0; i < 128; i++)

>>59326861
That's true, so would you have been satisfied if I'd just had a sequence of if-statements in the main function instead of iterating through a collection of rules?

>>59326861
Nah it's certainly easier to use the interface provided here rather than altering the code for a normal fizzbuzz.

>>59326907
>Pop quiz: is this an infinite loop?

no

>>59326907
It depends.

>>59326907
Yeah I agree char is pointless and worse. Just saying it won't actually be slower most likely.

But that's not what that is for!

>>59326935
>>59326933
It would make the code a lot simpler if you did that. And technically it makes it easier to add new cases, since now you can add cases for different conditions other than being a factor of.

>>59326937
Why don't you try it?

>>59326943
:)

>>59327042
>why don't you try it
But we'd only know if it doesn't infinitely loop if we try it and it stops. We won't know if it would stop in a couple of years.

This is where proofs come in handy.

>>59326818
It is not that much code. He was just a whitespace nigger and used way too much. It makes it look like more code than it is.
