Look up chicken's Cheney-on-the-MTA code.
Dropped working on porting the whole aubio library over to Go. I ain't gonna test all that shit nigga. So I'll just port of the stuff I need which is a fraction.
Have a look at the beautiful syntax Haskell faggots and C# aspies:package aubio
// #cgo LDFLAGS: -laubio
// #include <aubio/aubio.h>
import "C"
import (
"errors"
)
// Source is a wrapper for aubio_source_t.
type Source struct {
ref *C.aubio_source_t // Native reference.
buf *C.fvec_t // Input buffer.
}
// NewSource returns a new Source instance.
func NewSource(uri string, hopSize uint) (*Source, error) {
auri := astring(uri)
defer delAstring(auri) // only used in new_aubio_source
// use file sample rate
ref := C.new_aubio_source(auri, 0, C.uint_t(hopSize))
if ref == nil {
return nil, errors.New("aubio: new_aubio_source nil")
}
buf := C.new_fvec(C.uint_t(hopSize))
return &Source{
ref: ref,
buf: buf,
}, nil
}
// Reads reads the next chunk of decoded audio.
func (s *Source) Read() (*C.fvec_t, uint) {
var aread C.uint_t
C.aubio_source_do(s.ref, s.buf, &aread)
return s.buf, uint(aread)
}
// Close cleans up Aubio resources.
func (s *Source) Close() {
C.del_fvec(s.buf)

}

What would you like to know?
>>52034824
I've never worked with NUnit, I don't know that book either. I have worked with various other xUnit unit testing frameworks. Unit testing is pretty simple to get the hang of and can be pretty fun, it does feel very excessive when doing it on smaller projects. I haven't learned how to unit test from a book, I learned it by doing a project. If I were to recommend something then it's
http://www.nunit.org/index.php?p=quickStart&r=2.2
It's outdated (for version 2.2 vs 3.0 now), but it's probably pretty similar to how you would do it now in NUnit and visual studio will probably correct you if it's wrong.
It's important you have a good test coverage and that you test everything that could go wrong with a method. If you know how to do unit testing after a while, you can soften up on that. Use plenty of asserts, little bit of mock objects and fixtures. Look up what those three things mean if you don't already know.

New friend in Java, first programming language. Noticed that I had read two chapters but had trouble applying shit so I figured practice makes perfect.
Went back to the for loops in Chapter 1, decided to try and make a for loop for Celsius to Kelvin conversion. Thing is it doesn't print out all of the conversions, just the last one. Not sure why.public class dankMeme {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int dC, dK = 0;
for(dC = 0; dC < 100; dC = dC + 1)
dK = dC + 273;
System.out.println(dC + " degrees Celsius is " + dK + " degrees Kelvin. ");
System.out.println("Done.");
}
}

I guess that makes sense. I suppose after a while I'll eventually just remember what arguments some functions take and what they return and such, right?
Because at first it's really overwhelming and I often have to look on stackoverflow and such to understand.

>>52035454
I know that the other anon wants you to learn it rather than have me teach it to you but I'm going to share something with you anyway.
The special keyword functions like for and if and while only do the expressed commands located within the pair of brackets that are tied to them.for( yadda yadda )
{ this stuff ]
Otherwise, if you don't supply the brackets the keywords function can only reach the next command. In your case, that would be theint dK = dC + 273;
Hope I didn't make you too lazy.

>The concept was first presented as a corollary of his broader "Parkinson's law" spoof of management. He dramatizes this "law of triviality" with the example of a committee's deliberations on an atomic reactor, contrasting it to deliberations on a bicycle shed. As he put it: "The time spent on any item of the agenda will be in inverse proportion to the sum [of money] involved." A reactor is so vastly expensive and complicated that an average person cannot understand it, so one assumes that those that work on it understand it. On the other hand, everyone can visualize a cheap, simple bicycle shed, so planning one can result in endless discussions because everyone involved wants to add a touch and show personal contribution.

Is there a drop-in replacement for linked lists? Don't Haskell and Lisp use linked lists in their source code?
>>52036434
What does pure fp mean to you then?
>>52036673
>Is there a drop-in replacement for linked lists?
Any other list type. Arraylist, for instance.
>>52036499
You need to be 18 or older to browse 4chan.
>>52036661
The usual way, get books and study them, practise, do assignments, complete online courses, etc
>>52036699
Am I wrong?
>>52036673
No. Linked lists are bar none the most useful data structure in computer science. They're what is used to implement heaps, stacks, queues, and as the secondary data structure of hashmaps. It's just an ebin maymay that linkedlists are bad. Then again, what the fuck are you doing, listening to a tripfag?
>>52036726
>using a linked list for stacks, queues, or to implement a hash map
Delete yourself.
>>52036702
How much copying others code is allowed? Should I be trying to do it all myself?
>>52036661
Do what I do. Pick a simple application you have some ideas for, then try to make that application work.
Helps keep you motivated if you've got something tangible that actually does something. And it helps having a frame of reference for how that thing should function.
Make an imageviewer or something, then add features to it, like cutting sections of images together or any other random thing.
>>52036499
And where did you find this oddly specific definition of pure FP?
Even this much is still retarded.
>>52036726
>Linked lists are bar none the slowest data structure in existence
fixed
>>52036760
I get that but I'm essentially copying code snippets from stackoverflow or MSDN examples... Feels kind of like cheating and I'm not learning much.
Is that normal in the starting stages of programming?
>>52036753
Why do you want to copy other peoples code?
>>52036726
>They're what is used to implement heaps, stacks, queues
They can be used to implement those things. That doesn't mean it's always a good idea.
>>52036841
>Why do you want to copy other peoples code?
I don't but lets say I can't figure out how to do something, I'll google it and look at someone's solution on stackoverflow and then get it done... What else am I suppose to do?
>>52036833
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult_programming
Try not to make it a habit.
Read it, then type it out. Yeah it takes a bit of extra time but the actual act of typing it out and processing it in your mind helps you retain the information far better.
Soon you'll have all of the basics down, and you'll know when it happens because you'll be spending a lot less time in Google.
Once you've finished/gotten bored of your first app, take what you've learned and apply it to another project, add onto your knowledge and use your first project as a reference.
>>52036803
Where did you find a definition that contradicts this?
>>52036890
>>52036833
Oh and before you move onto the next thing, go back through all your code and try to clean it up, try to bunch common code together into methods and shift things into more logical classes.
>>52036505
its too late
also gtk is p cool
>>52036890
I do type it out but I just mean that I feel as if I didn't come up with the way to do it myself I'm not learning anything.
Like i was watching a youtube video about how to download files and also check for any errors such as page not being reachable, not having permissions to access file, etc. And I just don't get how I'm suppose to know all that without first watching some other guy do it and tyhen just filling in what I need and remembering for later.
>>52037011
>I do type it out but I just mean that I feel as if I didn't come up with the way to do it myself I'm not learning anything.
We use a lot of things that other people came up with. Data structures, algorithms, the whole bit.
Whether or not you 'came up with it' is immaterial. What IS important is whether or not you understand WHY it works.
That is what you should be focusing on.
Good luck, and god speed.
>>52037011
>And I just don't get how I'm suppose to know all that without first watching some other guy do it
That's how knowledge works, you can't just spontaneously inherit this knowledge, as long as you spend some time genuinely thinking about what you're doing and trying to understand how it works, then you'll be fine.
We all started somewhere, even the turbo-autists who post here.
>>52036089
you forgot manpages or other local source of docs
>>52036820
Linkedlist are orders of magnitude faster when the application requires many add/remove operations and few random gets, which is precisely the point of queues, stacks, and the hash collision or fragment lists. They're much faster for heaps because of random, addressed operations on elements being O(1) and not O(n).
>>52037060
>>52037080
Thanks family.
So is it fine to google how do I do ___ C#? It seriously feels as though I'm just using other people's code then filling in what I need... Feels kinda weird tbqh
>>52035699
a freelancing project that is practically impossible... one that I was naive enough to take.
>>52037080
The great majority of the turbo-autists on here are still at the starting line. They keep moving back and forth a step across the line for some reason. I don't think they quite got the rules of the game here.
>>52037240
>So is it fine to google how do I do ___ C#?
Yes. Everyone does that. Usually those kinds of searches lead you to the MSDN (the reference documents for C#) and there you go.
>>52037240
Welcome to literally the only job requirement for most entry-level programming jobs.
If you know what need to do in order to achieve an end result, and know how to find it on Google, then you're already more than qualified.
>>52037291
Wouldn't that make everyone qualified then?
>>52037240
If you feel bad, spend some time learning about design patterns and good programming practices in general. You can apply that shit to everything you do. But yeah, for small shitty problems that you know 1000's of people have figured out before you have, you might as well google of a solution.
>>52037320
Nope. 50% of the world can't do half that. 75% of the world can't do all of that.
Creating a new object.Object newObj = new Object(){
Value1 = variableValue1,
Value2 = variableValue2,
Value3 = variableValue3
};
orObject newObj = new Object(variableValue1, variableValue2, variableValue3);
>>52037320
no. Plenty of people are shit at programming even with google at their disposal. At the very least you need to learn most of the language by yourself first to get anything done.
>>52037354
Always the second.
>>52037354
it depends on the Class. If the latter is supported, better to use that. It's probably what the class expects.
>>52037360
Explain.
>>52037291
the only job requirement for entry-level programming jobs is a college degree in CS or similar
whether you can actually write usable software or not is irrelevant, you can just google and copypaste everything from stackoverflow when the going gets tough
>>52037273
>>52037291
>>52037333
>>52037324
>>52037356
Well fuck. And here I thought all programmers were some super nerds who knew the inner workings of their machines and wrote their own compilers.
Feels a lot like everyone is just copying and doing whatever needs to be done to get it to work then...
>>52037371
It's basically what everyone expects, and the first is wasteful in terms of performance, though not really significantly.
>>52037374
>you can just google and copypaste everything from stackoverflow when the going gets tough
>Highly paid professionals
That leads me to my next question... Why THE FUCK do people on stackoverflow do it for free? Are they all the Custodian Canine IRL?
I was looking at some threads... people completely did complex work for someone who no doubt made a bunch of money from their work. And they don't even ask for compensation?
>>52037383
>It's basically what everyone expects
Not a good reason.
>>52037377
Good programmers are.
Entry-level programmers are not.
Entry-level programmers are code-monkeys, they follow patterns and hack together snippets to make things work. Which is great, because that's all they need to do. They need to get the thing to work, not necessarily write it well.
>>52037377
All that changes with experience is an increase in the amount of time and difficulty to find a solution to your particular problem.
>>52037377
>Well fuck. And here I thought all programmers were some super nerds who knew the inner workings of their machines and wrote their own compilers.
I thought this too. But let me absolutely assure you... not only is this not the case... but when you get your first job, you will be absolutely SHOCKED with how shitty the highly paid shitty programmers you work with will be. Even though I'm telling you, you probably won't believe me until you see it. But just brace yourself.
>>52037407
Then for the second reason. It doesn't require the object to get it to a default state and then change things up, it'll just start off the right way.
Why is learning a new programming language so boring? I guess I should try to make something fun instead of following bullshit book examples.

>top rated professional user on StackOverflow for 3 years running :)
>>52037377
You don't need extensive knowledge to write most software unless you're implementing a compiler or OS, like you said.
>>52037430
Stop learning shit languages senpai.
>>52037415
>you will be absolutely SHOCKED with how shitty the highly paid shitty programmers you work with will be. Even though I'm telling you, you probably won't believe me until you see it. But just brace yourself.
I've been slowly lately getting to understand this.
Seems like that's how it is in most fields too... It's jut people pretending to look smart in a suit and with degrees.
>>52037415
Why the fuck does anyone need a degree to program if you're pretty much expected to shit out codemonkey-tier gluecode that makes use of other people's open source libraries?
>>52037430
Probably because you don't know how to program and so can't jump in straight away with a "real" application.
>>52037448
>internet brownie points
>seriously, it just makes them feel good and I guess they brag about it on their resumes
Well thank god for them then.
>>52037377
Eventually you get to a point where you 'just know' a lot of things and you need to look them up less often (if at all).
This arcane experience is called 'learning'.
>>52037478
I hope you're actually learning from them and not simply copy pasting their code verbatim.
They didn't get to where they are by simply copy pasting code.
>>52037448
Yeah, there's a lot of sad cases on SO. I contribute to GDSE myself (top 4% this year or something), but never to questions that are asking for code solutions.
Oh, and as a bonus tip: never stop reading. Whenever you're away from the computer and have some down time, crack open a programming book (or something related, computer graphics, etc).
>>52037495
Some shit it feels easier to just copy-paste desu.
If I don't plan on a long term career as a developer and I just want to get something done and for it to work, isn't that a better idea?
For example Hooking Firefox to intercept PR_WRITE/READ... instead of trying to actually understand that fucking disaster seems better to just copy some nerdlord's code
>>52037469
>Why the fuck does anyone need a degree to program
you don't. You need a degree to get a job. Well... not even that.. most companies expect a degree, but not all. Some good companies will look for nothing more than a good github account.
Having a good degree gets you past the HR department. Many companies will throw out CV's without a degree. If you can get a couple of years experience you can probably do pretty well without a degree too.
>>52035738
Use Java friend. It's literally not much different than C#, at least in concept. Some of the words may be a little less centered around Windows, but for the most part it's about the same thing with a few less shortcuts already built in.
Here's a link to a HID library built by goodle:

I know what you're going through. C# was a pain in the ass for me because I couldn't get that stupid Visual Studio to download properly and when I did it said my OS was not compatible. I went the mono route and couldn't get it to work because I didn't have a way to manage the database link in time for my assignment.
Hopefully this helps a bit.

LIE ON YOUR RESUME.
If you're not lying on your resume in 2015 i don't know what u doing senpai
Seriously just do it. You're not gonna get the job without it anyway so you might as well.
Is this the hour where someone gives someone else advice on getting a job, but is mostly talking out of his ass and hasn't tried any of the shit he's saying?
