/dpt/ - Daily Programming Thread

I just thought of something -- since Image/Bitmap just wrap GDI+, you could also skirt the whole 65kx65k res limit from GDI if you wrote your own parser and used a simple FastImage class. That'd give you a lot more latitude in working on huge files (scanned maps, etc).

But what does it mean to put a graph upside down?

enum format_tag {
CODE_L, CODE_R,
SPOILER_L, SPOILER_R,
/* ~~ */
SUPPORTED_TAGS /* total enum count (should be 4) */
};

Is this undefined behavior?

But what if they want the tree to be upside down?

Observe!

Nope. That should map to zero through four.

That's the same graph, it's not changed.

SURPRISE

My random image generator program works with big ol images. I'm going to cum on the fucking floor if I don't figure out why it can't produce anything smaller than 210x210 without segfaulting

Likely story. We won't bully unless it's really bad.

Tether your phone to your computer over usb and use your phone's wifi user-senpai.

Flipping left and right is also the same graph.

Not at all.
It's completely well-defined, and I've even seen several libraries do that.

Accshually, formally you havent put the graph upside down; just the embedding of the graph. So *nyeh*

So this needs an adjacency list of includes right?

main.cpp -> Class1.hpp, Class2.hpp
Class2.hpp -> Class1.hpp, Class2.cpp
Class1.hpp -> Class1.cpp

I currently implement it like that but my algorithm to detect it only detects -PAIRS- of redundancy and not more than two. It just compares the includes of one file against that includes' includes.

Another Idea I thought about involves having the adjacency list being a list of the includes and its "includers":

Class1.hpp -> Class1.cpp, main.cpp, Class2.hpp
Class2.hpp -> main.cpp, Class2.cpp

but i dont know the algorithm to detect a redundancy that doesn't involve some crazy as hell recursion that could potentially cycle into infinity.

And then you learn about include guards, and header file pollution is no longer.

How do I become a 4 star programmer, Cred Forums?

You must vibrate higher and transcend this dimension

pls help

...

#define ptr(a) a*
Now you're a one star programmer

A pointer is just a variable that holds a memory address.
Dereference it with * or [] to see the data that address points to.

You can go pretty deep with pointers, especially when working with structs made of multi-dimensional pointers.

I saw death grips live they were cool

I guess I'm just not grasping when to use them

You can pass pointers into a function instead of just a value

In C, is there any library or function that lets me change the color of characters onscreen? I don't want to do this with syscalls because it would be really long and add a ton of lines to the code.

What I'm trying to do is:
- make a simple system that shows four rows of seats
- seats that are taken are shown in yellow
- seats that are free are shown in green

see

Why not syscalls?

Why not make your adjacency list contain only a files includers? Then each file that has an adjacency list larger than 1 is a problem file.

there is probably some library that will try to do the right thing depending on the system

I'll give an example.
char *str = (char *) malloc(sizeof(char) * 6);
memcpy(str, "hello", 6);
str[5] = '\0'; /* null terminate */
/* or */
*(str + 5) = '\0'
/* or */
char *p = &str[5];
*p = '\0';
All of the above do the same thing.
Literally everything and everything in C is an abstraction built around pointers and pointer arithmetic.

system ("color 0A")
Now everything is green. I only want to make certain characters a certain color, like the extended ls does in linux.

Btw, I'm using windows.

When you need to use them, you'll know it.

windows.h

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code
#include

#define YELLOW "\033[33m"
#define RESET "\033[0m"

int main()
{
printf(YELLOW"test\n"RESET);
}

Thank you so much for the example, that actually helps a lot.

windows.h

SetConsoleTextAttribute()

Wow, how does this work on black and white only monitors?

Use ncurses. Yes it works on Windows. No, you shouldn't use the system() function at all.

is this really it?

Wouldn't you need to resolve/trace some directional stuff to detect upwards?

else it would be "Class1.cpp, main.cpp, Class2.hpp"
when it should just be "main.cpp, Class2.hpp"

Thanks for the answers.

It would presumably do nothing.

This is actually an interesting problem, now that I think about it.
Turn a binary tree "upside down", by making link lists for each of its leafs that lead to the root.
e.g.
; binary tree:
4
/ \
2 5
/ \ \
1 3 6
; represented by:
(tree (tree (leaf 1)
2
(leaf 3))
4
(tree #f
5
(leaf 6)))
; upside-down:
((1 2 4) (3 2 4) (6 5 4))

It depends on the behaviour of your terminal.

That's one of the solutions that people have come up with for what it means to "invert" the tree. That is, each leaf becomes a parent and leads down to the original root.

ANSI escape codes actually don't work on Windows, IIRC. You basically have to use the windows.h stuff. Libraries like ncurses abstract all of this behind portable function calls. On Windows, it might use the Win32 API to handle console manipulation, while on Unix-like systems, ANSI escape codes might be used.

According to the Wikipedia article, BotnetOS 10 supports ANSI escape codes.

How would you go about simulating a NFA in C? I'm using linked lists to represent sets but it feels like I'm being very inefficient

A masochist I see.

btw here is a solution
(struct tree (left val right))
(struct leaf (val))

(define (upside-down t)
(cond
[(false? t) '()]
[(tree? t)
(map (lambda (x) (cons (tree-val t) x))
(append (upside-down (tree-left t))
(upside-down (tree-right t))))]
[(leaf? t) (list (leaf-val t))]))

goodnight

I tested this on Windows 7, and it doesn't work on Command Prompt. I was curious because I remember my teacher from 7 years ago teaching this, but I believe he said it was based on the terminal emulator implementation. I remember he showed it to us using a really old hardware text terminal.

Generating is not the problem. Its detecting the redundancies.

for each file f in files:
for each include i in f:
adjacency[i].add(f);

Fixed a typo. Now i don't see a problem.

Efficient simulation of nondeterminism -> P=NP.

As i said: each file that is included more than once will have an adjacency list larger than 1. I still don't see the problem.

im starting a c# book, so I downloaded project rider from jetbrains, would anyone tell me if im beter off using mono or net core? im on debian

>else it would be "Class1.cpp, main.cpp, Class2.hpp"
>when it should just be "main.cpp, Class2.hpp"

given the adjacency list:

Class1.hpp -> Class1.cpp, main.cpp, Class2.hpp
Class2.hpp -> main.cpp, Class2.cpp

just going by "more than one" wouldn't really be accurate would it?

how about if it's an odd amount.

Just like math.

Peterr?!?

Lets ignore reality for a bit and just consider the problem of a file being included by multiple include files. Then my solution would work, right?

What would happen if you did that and then consider yeah compilation unit (.cpp file) as a separate project?

>c = (a * b)
Please tell me where are you going with this.

>and then consider yeah compilation unit (.cpp file) as a separate project?
boy wat
just ignore cpp files?

wouldnt that not let main.cpp detect its redundancy then? This is for an assignment yoy

The system function is not a syscall.

You might be able to write a driver that is a python interpreter and runs python code in the kernel, but that would be beyond retarded.

Err... no. C modules are just dynamically loaded libraries. The Python application is still just a user process. There is no way to elevate a user process to run as a kernel module in pretty much any major OS.

Every language can have errors.

i am an idiot and have this "undefined reference class::member" problem using gcc/make. i know it's a linker issue. i'm in the middle of this huge multi-tiered make project and i'm trying to use some of the classes. i am using code::blocks.

i have a dozen or so #include lines and code::blocks can easily find the function declarations in the .h files and lets me do autocomplete stuff just fine. i know i am missing something stupid and simple, but what? the .h files and the .cc files are in different dirs, but the project compiles fine with ./configure; make; make install.

this project is so complex. they overloaded bool and cout and implemented their own streams for file handling so i can't just fopen() if i want to use their parsing member functions. this is the exact kind of stuff that made me hate c++.

Some more than others

no /wdg/ so i'll ask here

whats the difference between a controller and model? why is it if i'm routing a request from a post method i should ssend it to a controller as opposed to a model?

OOP is bad

Controllaz are just request handlers.
Models mirror what is kept in yo data base

I'm a dev, but I have to interview a PM joining our team, what questions should I even ask..?

>Controllaz are just request handlers.

ah so thats why it handles the post request? i still don't really understand what models do though. i imagine if you have a lot of processing which needs to be done on the data in your DB you'd do that in the model?

What's a PM?

A modified trolley problem to make it sound relevant to pm's job.

why is a dev interviewing a project manager?

Models are for ezpz json to c# data binding.
Largely pointless. Most server-side logic is done in the controller.

controller is middleman for model and view. the model handles data, the view handles pretty gui, the controller handles matching the two together. any request from the view needs to be interpreted in the controller so the model can understand it and give the correct data. think of it as a language translation where the view speaks japanese and the model speaks english, but the controller speaks both.

Why not have everybody speak same language lol?

Definitely C into Java.

Of course you use for loops and else if statements in operating systems... but the language of choice is typically C or C++. Python would be atrocious.

Yes. What I am talking about in specific, however, are runtime errors. There is no such thing as a runtime type error in C.

Neither C nor C++ has for else

I thought you were referring to them as two different concepts. Honestly... I've never had to use a loop+else combo, and anywhere that it might be more convenient would not be enough to justify the use of Python in a kernel module.

What's the difference between runtime type error and any other runtime error?

It wouldn't be hard to do for else in C.

>using a language that doesn't allow you to define your own control flow structures

Team culture and fit

Hmm, I like that.

Nothing. They were just being used as an example of the myriad of runtime errors that can be tossed around in Python. Python is a dynamic language and has a strong focus on the runtime. C and C++ get most things detected at compile time. Generally speaking, you don't want to go tossing around exceptions in a kernel module, or doing anything that could at all cause a crash.

Functional programming is the future. Lower memory cost and increase in threads suits the functional paradigm which is pure.

Best of all we all get to not fuck around with the crappy overcomplicated mess that is OOP programming. If someone just made Monads a bit easier I'd be really happy.

Also I understand Monoids in theory, it's basically a group (Algebra) without the inverse property, I just can't see how that is applied to programming.

>lower memory cost
not in Haskell

>it's basically a group without the inverse property
that's a monoid
monads are a specific kind of monoid

Is there any reason to use Ruby over Python?

for applications of monoids to programming:

a magma has a closed binary operation
you can think of this as any kind of way of combining two pieces of data (that gives back the same type), e.g. adding numbers, appending vectors, combining updates

a semigroup is an associative magma
this means that
a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c
this has a few uses - one is incremental updates
(((a) + b) + c) + d
e.g. saving transaction logs rather than the entire new state
the other is parallelism
(a + b) + (c + d)
run a + b and c + d on seperate threads, then combine the results

a monoid is a semigroup with an identity element
a + 0 = a
0 + a = a
this lets you fold over lists, and can be a sort of empty state

the traditional example of a monoid is a list, where appending is the operation and an empty list is the identity
"" + a = a
a + "" = a
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)

it looks like monads in a category C are monoid objects in End(C)
the wiki says godement introduced these in his book which i thought i had read carefully; i guess not. i've really never had to use them for anything

you can use them to describe effectful computations in a pure fashion

i'm speaking as a mathematician. i sometimes have to use stacks and topoi and stuff; i thought the 2-category stuff there that was about as exotic as it got

you would think that people in this field would be all over haskell but even the ones who do theoretical computer science are pretty awful at computers in my experience. it's just interesting

I wish i'd done a degree in mathematics or even computer science proper

Category theory is beyond me, other than some of the simplified uses in Haskell

I get it. I really get it. I've worked with group theory and know abstract algebra. I know what a unit/identity element is. I also know associativity and closure.

Working with Integers, lists, etc. That's just natural I don't get what we monoids is supposed to help you understand.

Thanks for the answer though. I appreciate you taking the effort.

Can anyone help me on assembly programming? I need to add two 128 bit signed numbers together, but the word size is 32 bits. wtf do I do. :>

look at the instances of hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.9.0.0/docs/Data-Monoid.html
for example

i think the problem with category theory is that it's boring. most people need a good reason to wade through the definitions (and it is mostly definitions) and then something interesting to practice them on. just sitting down and reading mac lane cover to cover does not work

always happy to chat about it here. it's not over your head, really

there's always something you wish you had learned earlier. i'm thinking of "getting out" so in the evenings i'm cramming algorithms for whiteboard interviews. many regrets

"collision detection" makes it sound hard! it's four quick tests. i think whether there's something better depends on what you're actually doing inside the loops

A hacker is someone who enjoys playful cleverness--not necessarily with computers. The programmers in the old MIT free software community of the 60s and 70s referred to themselves as hackers. Around 1980, journalists who discovered the hacker community mistakenly took the term to mean "security breaker."

Please don't spread this mistake. People who break security are "crackers."

In functional programming, how would you say "either a string or an int"?

Its all strings in fp

Maybe type?

If I put a 16-bit int into a register
Then for each 8-bit register it has, I divide by 2, will the whole 16-bit value be divided?

why not put a 16bit int into a register and divide the upper and lower halves by 2 and see if it works

No.

thinking of making an apple newton like PDA using a Cortex M board, wifi module, and a touch screen, it'll have mango reading, erotica reading, maybe pdf reading thru an online pdf to image service, news reading, maybe even a tiny irc client

why?

I feel you. Installing open source Fortran/C/C++ libraries and then actually calling them from any language is a huge PITA.

Hey guys, in Python, how would I convert a string that spans multiple lines like this:

values 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9;

to an array [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9], remove 2 and 5, then write it to a file in the same manner:

values 1, 3, 4,
6, 7, 8,
9;

I'm trying to figure out file manipulations.

Now that genymotion is pay to use, which phone emulator people uses?

This. Why would you need macros for this when you have lazy evaluation?

How do i add class in laravel, wtf is this shit

is there any reason for the 2 and the 5, or do you just want those values removed?

generating an abstracted solution for you is impossible if we don't know the underlying logic you're trying to automate.

nox

what would you do if it were on one line?

The string is in a file. I want to read it, remove the values and write the new string into a different file.

Removing 2 and 5 is just a scenario off the top of my head.

If the input string was written in one line, I would want to print the output the same way I described, at most 3 values per line,

The better question would be what is the best way to capture the numbers between the word "values" and ";" ignoring the number of lines on which they are spread out?

I've come to the conclusion that Mathematica is really, really awesome.

>> Prolog tier awesome pattern matching.
>> Extremely concise syntax for when you want to hash function values to make branched recursion palatable.
>> Very good support for both functional and procedural programming.
>> Ridiculously huge standard library of useful functions.
>> Compiled (unlike Matlab, Python), i.e. for-loops are not 100x slower than C.
>> Fizzbuzz is a one-liner.

is there anything wrong with just knowing python if you're a hobbyist and does knowing python make me a programmer?

Wolfram?

Right. Wolfram Mathematica/Wolfram Language.

I used it for Symbolic Computation/Algebraic Computation, shit is crazy.

I'm having trouble understanding X.509, do I need to supply a client certificate in order to verify a server certificate?
I'm trying to write an IRC bot and I want to verify freenode.

My shit code won't even fit here:

Read the LKMPG.

It's cool, and great for mathematicians who don't want to use Matlab, but it's also not really a general purpose programming language.

it's pleasant to use. i refuse to do serious mathematical work using something closed-source though. that seems to go against everything we're taught

i hope will stein really gets sage (>python) off the ground now that he's left academia. i would rather feed his ego than stephen wolfram's

What's the state of Haskell FRP libraries at the moment? I used to write Haskell some years back and always thought it would be cool to make a game in it but never got around to attempting it, what are my options right now?

Macros allow for you to wrap any code you want within the control structure you want and operate on the contents of the code freely. While the former might be possible to a limited extent with regular functions, the latter is not, unless you redesign the entire architecture of the code to accommodate the structure you want to operate on as a return value.

new thread when ? :3

Whenever you make one, pussy.

You're boring, you have no ironical intelligence, I can post whatever I want.

Pretty much a non-country.

Eh, I just wrote a fairly non-trivial program in Mathematica and Clojure (compute all Dyck paths with a given area below them, apply that to a stat. physics problem I had). The Mathematica solution ended up being both more concise (due to pattern matching, easy hashing) and faster, which spooked me out enough to write that post.

I agree that its scoping rules limit it for large general purpose stuff, but it's still way more useful for general-ish programming than I first gave it credit for. Especially when you go back to it after having played with Haskell and Prolog, so that you are familiar with the techniques you'd use there. It's way more than a simple toolbox for solving equations and plotting.

Eh. It would definitely be nice to have an open source alternative to Mathematica, but I'm really not a big fan of Python as the alternative.

Tbh I'd rather have a language that supports multiple programming paradigms and with a syntax designed from the ground up to be good for mathy stuff. Julia seems really promising, though due to its focus on speed it does have some C-like gotchas.

bump, willing to learn another language but want something CLI only

While that might be true, the confirm macro does not do that, so again: what's the point?

look for values to start recording nums into array, when you reach a EOL start at the beginning of the next line

do this until you reach an empty line, at that point just stop looking for nums

then you can go through the list and use something like filter to remove all nums that are not so in [2, 5]

then just write it back, the formatting you can figure out since it only appears you're writing back at max 3 per line should be more or less the reverse of reading it
