The nice thing is that you can easily convert between C# and VB .NET. So if you need something ""written"" in VB, just write it in C#.

so I got it to work, but I feel like there has to be a better way to do thisimport sequtils

iterator chunks(s, n): auto =
for i in countup(1, len(s), n):
yield s[i..i+n-1]
for i in chunks(x, 5):
echo i
this, when run, givesTraceback (most recent call last)
l.nim(7) l
system.nim(3202) []
system.nim(2527) sysFatal
Error: unhandled exception: index out of bounds [IndexError]
which can be fixed by changing it toiterator chunks(s, n): auto =
for i in countup(1, len(s), n):
if i+n < len(s):
yield s[i..i+n-1]
else:
yield s[i..len(s)-1]

Some challenge website asked me to simulate falling tetris blocks after a 4-line tetris and I solved it by sorting the game grid vertically with qsort...

Kate
>>52555781
Strictly speaking the solution is correct, you only had to simulate the results. But if you weren't a faggot you'd just count the number of blocks in each row and spit it out in sorted order, since all blocks are equal.
>>52555902
*although it's only correct in the case the game has just started.
Correct solution is to parse all four columns for the first instance of a block it finds.
It chooses the maximum (or minimum depending on how it's set up) and then teleports it above that row.
In the case of a vertical 4-line tetris block then all you have to do is drop it above the first block, or at the bottom if there is none.

>>52553564
Why not? I usually switch around, they work exactly the same. Clang gives really nice colored error messages so if I'm struggling through template errors or some C++ bullshit I might use clang. I think clang compiles faster, but I haven't made anything substantial enough for any "performance" differences to matter. I have however had problems with code only compiling on clang and not on gcc, but it was something kind of un-standard so I just rewrote it to be compatible.

A lot of the stuff I've done in class has, so far, been pretty easy, which is a bit disappointing. Guess that's what I get for doing a shitload of programming work on my own before college. Hopefully things get older soon.

I actually had to do a learning tic tac toe game in one of my undergraduate classes. The tic tac toe was played by a robot controlled by an NXT brick. It moved a marker around and scanned a physical board on paper with a light sensor. It had to play randomly for the first 9 rounds, and then start playing all further games only with the training data. Given that mine went for the center as the first move on its 10th game, followed by going for corners, I'd say it did a good job.

Question: If I wanted to do audio FFT analysis with a raspberry pi, would all I need is an ADC to convert the analog signal into a digital one then let the GPIO pins do the rest of the work?
>>52553939public class Config
{
public event Action ValueChanged;

}
}
}

{
public static bool Update<T>(ref T value, T newValue)
{
if (value.Equals(newValue)) return false;
value = newValue;
return true;
}

>>52557591
There is probably an ADC on the board, but it's been a while since I've looked into it. What do you mean by 'let the GPIO pins do the rest"?
>>52553803
>C++
>not using sfml
>>52557629
I'm thinking of doing realtime fft analysis so it'd go
audio interface line out->ADC->GPIO->program
The audio has to be coming from an external source, hence the need for an external adc. I'm just making sure I don't need anything else in between.
I want to learn python (please no h8) and I have a VERY VERY BASIC programming foundation. What would be a decent free IDE? Free as in free beer, I don't mind free as in freedom either though. Should I ever bother with an IDE? What's a good text editor if not?
>>52557683
Note that I'm using xubuntu. So I'd need it to be compatible with debian/ubuntu based linux distros.
>>52557683
with python a software ide will really only slow you down. I recommend trying this out as it has code completion and the works without the bloatiness of desktop ides. http://pythonfiddle.com/

Also I've heard good things about Sublime Text 2. Anyone have some experience with it? Would it work fine for learning python and still be useful in the future? (IE more complex stuff)
>>52557729
it's good for just text highlighting but not code completion if that's what you're looking for. For beginners I would recommend this feature. Try this http://komodoide.com/komodo-edit/
>>52557745
Shouldn't it be the opposite? Having the program complete the code for you wouldn't it make your learning slower? Once you have it ingrained then you can let it take care of it for you?
>>52557750
So by that logic, as a beginner it's faster to go look up every detail about the language every time you want to write something?
>>52557750
I would consider myself an intermediate programmer and I switch between so many languages at work, things like function names never truly get ingrained. It's easier to have the IDE tell me if it's insert, append, push, +, etc. since each language does it differently.
>>52557750
I wouldn't say so. Code completion is not very intrusive, making you hit tab to complete a word and it doesn't just template out lines of code for you, you have to give it input for it to respond. It can allow you to explore the language more in depth while giving you a good sense of how the language should be structured.
>>52557677
How are you going to interface the adc -> gpio? Depending on the chip it might be non-trivial to bit bash it through.. That's why I suggested looking into a peripheral ADC built into the SoC, but I'm not sure it actually exists.
>>52557770
That's what I would tend to believe. Yes. Sorry if I'm being retarded here. Bear with me.
>>52557774
>>52557789
Alright then so the conclusion is that I should look for a text editor with code completion for python?
Would this be my best bet? http://komodoide.com/komodo-edit/
>>52557683
What kind of functionality would you expect from an IDE? Python is dynamically-typed and late-bound, so most of the code-browsing features you'd get in C/C++ aren't an option.
The standard Python distribution includes Idle, which includes a text editor and interactive debugger, but it's fairly primitive.
>>52557128
Depends on your definition of "line of code".
Depends on your definition of "instruction".
>>52557836
>What kind of functionality would you expect from an IDE?
I have no clue.
>>52557796
Try it and see if you like it. That's the best way you can tell.
>>52557876
Alright, I'll do that. Thanks for the responses everyone.
>>52557790
Ha, one look at the raspberry pi site and it gives me that exact answer. Not often that happens.
"The Pi does not include a hardware analog-to-digital converter, but an external ADC (such as the MCP3008) can be used, along with some bit banged SPI code in Python to read external analog devices."
>>52557914
There you go :) In my experience the spi device is easy to use. it just shows up as a file in /dev/spi. Have fun, sounds like a good project.
>>52557914
The rev.2 boards have I2S, which might be more appropriate (SPI is probably easier to find information for, though).
>>52557944
Thank you! I'll make sure to post it here once I'm done.

Anon, you claim than the existence of bugs in operating systems is due to the choice of C. Name one language suitable for operating system development which would not have the same faults as C. Remember: Because one of the major roles of an operating system is to manage memory for all applications, no language which uses any form of garbage collection, or makes any assumption about how memory is laid out can be usable. It is also mandatory that any language used in kernel development be able to convert an integer into a raw pointer and deference it for DMA I/O operations.
Let's see what our viable non-C languages are:
C++ : So we're basically just using C with some extra abstraction. Bugs due to, say, buffer overflows are still going to occur.
Rust : Literally every function is going to be "unsafe". We might as well be writing C with different syntax.
Ada : Possibly viable. It's still possible to get the same bugs as in C if you're stupid, however.
D : See C++... except you're going to want to kill yourself because this language was designed to be used with a garbage collector.
Forth : If you want to gouge your eyeballs out.

It's absolutely viable and commonly used in RTOS development.

What resources do you guys use to make sure you're keeping up to date with progress in your fields? I'm in my final year of Uni right now and I'm worried about stagnating once I hit the workforce.
Is it mainly just about working on side projects?
>>52557971
Your comments about the "OS" only apply to the kernel, and that doesn't actually have to include things such as the network stack, or any device drivers beyond those for the CPU/MMU/DMA (although obviously you need to avoid things like swapping out the SATA driver for the device hosting the swap file ...).
>>52557971
>Rust : Literally every function is going to be "unsafe". We might as well be writing C with different syntax.
unsafe or not you still have abstraction techniques that are not possible with c.

I think you should look up Redox. It only has 108 unsafe blocks (which are mostly small) in 46KLOC of rust code.
Has anyone here worked with Retrofit?
How do you guys pass an API Key to every request? Do you use interceptors?
Would anyone care to try out my project? It's the first one I've done for fun on my own, and my first real attempt at using C++, and Qt.
https://github.com/rzumer/Webbum/
It's an interface to encode video to WebM with ffmpeg (VP8 or VP9). The default settings are pretty slow so make sure that you only encode a few seconds to a few minutes at a time if you do try it (trim function).
I have had issues trying to run it on one computer due to dynamic linking, and I haven't thoroughly tested all the options in the program, so just knowing what issues there are would help a lot. I've been using it myself for 4chins, but mostly with default settings.

Is there a point in using mono anymore?
>>52557128
Depends how consistent you are.
If you keep switching between very long one liners, and then more verbose broken-out blocks then it's hard to find a constant.
But if it's relatively consistent, number of instructions ∝ LOC
char* variable
or
char *variable
The first one can read as;
variable is of type 'char pointer'
The second one can read as;
variable is a pointer that points to type 'char'
In a type based language like C, wouldn't the first one make more sense?
>>52559599
Always the second one.char* foo, bar;
What are the types of foo and bar?
>>52559622
well it would be of type char*, no?
>>52559637
In that example foo is a char pointer and bar is a char.char *foo, *bar;
If they were both pointers it would look like this.
>>52559645
huh, they are different types.char* foo, bar;
printf("%d\n%d\n", sizeof(foo), sizeof(bar));
this spits out different sizes
today i've learned, thanks
>>52559552
Windows XP support.
>>52559599
Well I'd read the first as: variable is a char pointer
And I'd read the second one as: dereferenced(*) variable is a char.
Using the first makes you think in terms of the pointers, whereas the second makes you think in terms of the actual data.
There is no specific "char pointer" really. Also, consider the implications of reading it as "declaring a pointer".
If you are only declaring a pointer for a string, what about memory allocation for the string itself?
>tfw favorite language has the status of a meme in the local programming community
I really enjoy using it, but if I told an employer it's my main language, he'd probably roll his eyes because said language was chosen for high school computer class and shitty university programs.
I'll probably have to fill my portfolio with stuff written in another language just for the sake of employability.
>>52559599
char* as a whole is not a type but a type and a declarator.char * foodoes mean that foo is declared as a pointer (*foo) and its type is char (so it's a pointer to char), not that the type of foo is char*
for example, with the const qualifierchar const * foo; // pointer to constant char
char * const foo; // constant pointer to char
which can be viewed as[char const] [*] [foo]
[char] [* const] [foo]
* is not part of the type.
another reason to favorchar *foois that the type of the expression *foo is char: it's a common case in C where the declaration always (excepting a few cases) mimic how the variable might appears in an expression (that's the reason for the awkward syntax for a function returning an array pointer)

I implemented neural network backpropagation yesterday. RPROP really is way faster than using the gradients directly.
Going to start using autodiff for more complicated networks. I'm thinking of going with Theano.
