What are you working on, /g/?
Why do you have to force your /pol/ shit onto /dpt/?
Why isn't compiling a 32 bit program as 64 bit just a straight performance win every single time?
Shouldn't the compiler be able to use all the new registers to great effect? It seems like usually the difference is only 1-2%.
>>55326169
64 bit is a meme

Fuck you. You're the reason my fucking Linux distribution requires four gigabytes of mostly redundant 32 bit libraries just so my fucking Nvidia driver can operate.

I got a good answer in the previous thread, but I'll ask again in case anyone can think of more ideas.
How do I create a dictionary of synonyms that is efficient in terms of retrieving synonyms of a word?
Basically, I want to use some sorts of data storage to store groups of words, and enable an end-user to request any word and be prompted with all the other words in its group (its synonyms). Afterwards, I want to be able to add spelling corrections, suggestions, and relevancy ranking (using edit distance for example).
Also, some groups may contain the same word, so I would like to return both groups separately.
Any ideas how to get there? Any particular database, data structures, concepts, etc. that could help?

Why are engineers and scientists so bad at explaining things in simple terms?
Decided to use Kruskals algorithm as a basis for a more complicated procedural graphics generation. Gonna use spanning tree produced to control several different parameters in the generation algorithm.
Obviously try to check what the "maze" looks like from the starter code I hashed together.
>Complete shit
>Loops everywhere
>Cells not even joined to the maze
>Obviously not a spanning tree
No idea exactly how I'm being completely cucked by my own brain but it sure feels bad to fail at something so simple.
>>55327449
because most things that need to be explained aren't simple
>>55327449
Stems from the basis that what they find simple, you do not.
Same thing happens when you try to explain pokemon to your labrador.
>>55327480
My Labrador doesn't try to learn about Pokemon. I just say shit and it listens, the words mean nothing without association. I actually really want to learn this shit but people keep going round in circles and tripping over words and throwing out new terms without ensuring I know what they mean.

This.
It started okay but I'm halfway through and he is just going around in circles and not really explaining anything.
>>55327498
Essentially if you actually want to learn science and/or engineering you need to start with the basics and move upwards. There are actually specific things you should learn first before you try and get into anything actually interesting or you'll have a house with no foundations.
Don't let this dissuade you though. When you have good fundamentals, understanding the rest becomes easy.
>>55327528
also, obv the buttons don't do anything. Except the red minimize button. That closes the pseudo-window.
So, I'll have to use that once I get the AI-ish interaction system up

>>55326123
What's the best resources for starting out in C++ when you already know the basics of programming? (did some java and I know python)
I'm looking for something like "the C programming language" with all the bullshit left out that you'd already know from knowing programming basics and just an introduction to the language. Shouldn't be more than 300-400 pages long.
>>55327662
>>55327665

Maybe the part where he spent ten fucking minutes explaining shit and then went "so yeah that's retarded don't do that".

it's a bit laughable that farage wants to get rid of the EU but still enjoy all the trade benefits of the EU (even if he claims that it'd hurt the EU more - he still wants to keep those deals for the UK's sake, not for the EU's sake, and if he isn't stupid then he knows that hurting the EU means hurting the UK as well, even without being in the EU).

>>55327835
he's explaining it fucking properly, you're the one who can't grasp it or ask questions properly
was reading "Modern C" by Jens Gustedt, and in one part he says "any true C programmer can implement any library function on their own" or something like that, and then as an exercise tells the reader to implement strtod (takes a C string, converts to a double value).
I consider myself an alright C programmer, I've been doing it for years on and off through school, and I have no clue how to implement this completely and now I feel like a damn noob.

of course you can, but while in the EU you're enjoying all of these benefits simply by being in the EU, in return countries give part of their national sovereignity to a larger parlamentary democracy.
leaving the EU and wanting to keep the benefits means taking the benefits without giving national sovereignity to the EU (which, on the positive side, may even be required to properly establish said benefits).
the EU has clearly caused a lot of bullshit over the years, but i don't think we'd be better off if every country was completly independent again (why stop at the EU? why not get rid of the NATO, the OECD, the UN? why not change back to city states?).
the advantage is better communication at the organization level and arguably also better control, the disadvantage is obviously the entire thing becoming a lot more complex and harder to manage, more interdependencies resulting in quicker spread of global problems and also less control at a local level.

if we nuked the population back to 500,000 people and our technology back to the dark ages then i'd agree with you, city states would be a lot more appropriate at that level than any large state or international organization, simply because there'd be no need to discuss and solve international problems, because there are none.

It wasn't an opinion though. I'm a grad student in TQFT and I've been through more mathematical training than every single one of your ancestors combined. Feel free to ask me anything about Top and geometric quantization.

Except this is not implementing atoi, it's implementing strtod. Same principle yes, but a lot more to take into consideration. I actually wrote my own atoi once for a class a long time ago.
My main concern is implementing my_strtod is parsing strings with a scientific notation form of a floating point value. I'm trying to think of a nice, clean way to do it without having some god-awful 60 line beast of a function.
>>55328132
which specific part are you even struggling with? or are you just going to whine that you can't understand it and not try to resolve the issue whatsoever?
>>55328158
I guess the part where he starts talking about making a tetrahedron around the origin. A few more diagrams couldn't hurt.
>>55328146
Find the decimal point, multiply the current digit by pow(10, j++) when going left and divide the current digit by pow(10, j--) when going right of the decimal.
>>55328184
if you go back to the start where he talks about the minkowski difference, you want to check if the contains the origin.
in two dimensions, you'd be trying to find three points (which form a triangle) such that it contains the origin. if there are no such three points, then there is no overlap/collision.
in three dimensions, you're trying to find four points (which form a tetrahedron) instead of the three points (which form a triangle).

You barley ever get a performance boost. You most certainly will always get a precision boost.>>> f32, f64 = np.array(1, 'f4'), np.array(1, 'f8')

>>> f64 /= 3
>>> f32
>>> array(0.3333333432674408, dtype=float32)
>>> f64, f64.dtype
>>> (array(0.3333333333333333), dtype('float64'))
>>55328275
also if you're struggling with how it's implemented, maybe look up line/plane collision detection tests
>>55328275
Four points where the shapes intersect or four magic points that materialise from thin air or what? All I saw at the beginning was circles overlapping. How do you use the Minkowski difference to get a triangle from overlapping circles?
>>55327919
Java is geared towards Software Development and therefore is filled with all kinds of annoying shit that is really meant for making software and not for learning abstract concepts.
You should instead use a language like C or python to learn how to program.
Haskell or ML?
>>55328326
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski_addition
if you take all points from one circle and add them to all points from the other circle, you get the big circle. if the smaller circles overlap, the big circle contains the origin. the shapes don't have to be circles, it's just an example.
you use the algorithm to quickly find out whether the "big circle" contains the origin by picking points from the "big circle" to try to form a triangle (in 2d) or a tetrahedron (in 3d) around the origin.
>>55328417
>add
subtract
>>55326169
because the bits just give you a higher addressable space (pointers can point to 2^64 addresses) as well as larger data types. It's not some magic bullet that automatically makes your program better.
and adding on to what >>55327987 said, if you disassemble your programs you'd notice that most of the time your programs are only using like 4 or 5 registers max within subroutines anyway.
>>55328304

you literally don't need to watch more than that before turning off the video and writing code
>>55328481
Hackerrank is a great site. There are actually problems everywhere if you look. There's a subreddit (forget the name, too lazy to look up), for daily programming challenges. Most programming language books have exercises / programming problems at the end of every chapter. Any search engine can lead to thousands of websites with project ideas and problems to solve. Did you take an algorithms class yet? Implement some algorithms, and do it in multiple languages.

How hard would it be to port the Vulkan driver to a non-linux/Windows OS? Like say I wanted to write a Vulkan driver for TempleOS? Isn't the driver later for Vulkan super thin?
>>55328984
going to highly doubt anyone on /dpt/ is capable of answering this, but I'm going to guess it's pretty difficult, especially if you're asking this here. there are already linux drivers out, at least intel I know released them
>>55328984
probably about as hard as writing an opengl driver, if not harder since it's more of an uncharted territory
>>55329077
OpenGL has a massive internal state machine while Vulkan is very explicit, as I understand it
>>55329249
opengl and vulkan are fairly similar, they both have state, just that opengl is more high level, like when you use any API, you're issuing high level commands, and vulkan is more like trusting the user to go "inside" the API, like instead of serving you a big mac it lets you into the kitchen so you can make your own burger

So to calculate the Minkowski sum do I just add all points of one shape to all points of the other?
>>55329692
(You)
>>55329692
I'd disagree to some extent.
Python allows beginners to focus more on basic logic rather than intricate details behind what they're doing and doesn't force as much emphasis on higher level concepts like memory management, and oop.
The route I'd recommend to beginners is something like Lua / Python for a first language and then transition up into something like C# / Java to get more in depth materials. After that, I'd honestly say it's time to start looking at C++ / Rust / C.
C++ is fast and flexible but offers little protection for the inexperienced. The flexibility also comes at a cost.. There are so many different valid ways to do things in c++ that you can never fully grasp them all.
Rust has a good habit of forcing stronger designs. But, it's got a rather steep learning curve and suffers from a lack of established libraries and learning materials.
C is very outdated in methodologies and very powerful. It's a tool you have to use carefully. It's very easy for the programmer to re-implement the wheel in inefficient ways for stupid reasons. There also isn't any protection to stop you from shooting yourself in hard to notice ways. If you don't have a decent grasp of what you're doing any software developed in c will be a hellish mess.
>>55329901
Sick memes
is codeacademy a meme y/n
>>55329901
Disagree. C is the best for learning because it doesn't hide more than is necessary. You WANT beginners to reinvent the wheel, so they know how the wheel works and what to do when it breaks. Someone who doesn't know C can't appreciate languages like Java and Python.
>>55329935
codeacademy is bretty gud
>>55329692
>java and C++ are the only good languages for learning and otherwise
I suggest against java and C++ as those languages have many elements that are necessary to use at all but have nothing to do with learning the concepts of programming; assignment, loops, arrays, and control flow are the basics you have to teach and constructs likepublic static void main(String[] args)just end up confusing beginners and teaches them to just ignore things and be uncreative.
After someone's done sorting algorithms or made a pyramid out of asterisk then they can move onto Java or C++ so that they can learn data structures using classes.
>>55330005
>C++ as those languages have many elements that are necessary to use at all but have nothing to do with learning the concepts of programming
java and c# sure
but c++ doesn't have anything like that
>>55329944
The thing is most beginners don't even have the logic to describe a wheel and how it functions. Throwing them straight into to making a wheel when they haven't learned how to describe it and the steps to make it function is adding a lot of extra difficulty upfront.
Logic and describing / developing clear steps to solve problems is far more important than intricate implementation details and optimizations when you're first starting out.
>>55330005
you'd have to be straight up retarded in order to not just overlook the entry point when starting out or finding out what it is. both C and python have "stupid" entry points too.

How the heck am I supposed to design a good library/API before implementation, do I just need to make and refine enough bad ones until I have the experience to know better from the start? Whenever I write some library that has common code in it I usually end up rewriting most of it halfway through the project and working things from the client code back into the library. Is this common for beginners, is there some book I should read?
>>55330048
Well, I tried to learn programming starting with Python many times. It wasn't until I watched as tutorial on C where a guy opened up the debugger, showed the registers, the actual bytes in memory, then moved onto the disassembly that it clicked for me.
>>55330100
>Cherry picking parts of the argument without reading the whole statements.
Let me write a shorter clear version.
Beginners don't have logic. Languages that focus more on teaching logic / establishing steps to solve problems rather than relying on low level concepts or understanding overly complex high level abstraction mechanisms are better for beginners.
>>55330167
only uneducated retards can't into logic and math
when you first learn a language, it's mostly just the syntax and control flow constructs and data types and such. not fucking logic/problem solving, it's common sense.

Number 1 rule of API design: WRITE THE USAGE CODE FIRST.
Google "Casey Muratori API design" for a good talk on the practice.
You literally never want to plan out an API before you know how it's going to be used.

Most of your entry level programmers are literally uneducated retards. It's astounding the number of people with no math background and zero logic that decide they need to pursue a hobby / job / degree in programming.

I am no teacher but I do know that everyone learns differently, it's a fools errand to try and figure out a method that will work for everyone, it's not even valuable to make the claim that just because something worked well for yourself that it will work well for others.
People have different reception for teaching techniques like books, lectures, etc. before the subject is even considered, once considering the subject matter it's another uncertain mess of figuring out what the best starting point and curriculum will be for the individual(s) being taught.
Nobody can speak generally on this topic with any level of authority because learning is so personal, anecdotes are certainly helpful but don't assume that just because something worked for you it will work for everyone, you have to consider the individual themselves.

Even if that's accepted to be true it doesn't matter as it can still be a useful learning aid. You may not use training wheels still but you may have at one point to learn.
>>55330307
That's not what I mean to say at all. I'm not advocating some kind of "everyone passes!" kind of mentality I'm simply stating that everyone learns differently, this should not be a controversial thing to say.
Some people do well with lectures and mentors, others books and self experimentation, some people do well with training aids, others do better diving in head first. None of this should imply that everyone can learn anything but I wouldn't actually doubt that, it's just a matter of finding a proper plan for them (as long as they're not actually retarded).
By the way I'm Italian.

You're right.. The problem is there is no room for so much individual attention in education. That level of 1 on 1 work is too time consuming and expensive. That is why we look for a general curriculum / method that can work for many of the students rather than all of the students.
In my experience the biggest difference between those who excelled and those who failed was instilling strong logic / reasoning from the onset.
>>55330395
>The problem is there is no room for so much individual attention in education. That level of 1 on 1 work is too time consuming and expensive.
It's the unfortunate truth, if I wish for anything to be solved it is this. I might be crazy but I think the trend of pre-recorded / pre-written courses can help with this. Imagine picking a subject and being presented with a choice of lecturer and style instead of being stuck with whoever is currently employed at your campus. Actually this isn't too new since people still recommend watching the recordings of the MIT SICP course.
I hope someone figures something out.
>instilling strong logic / reasoning from the onset.
The problem is that in my experience that's had the same problems as teaching anything else, I think it may be the most crucial thing to learn but I can't imagine how you teach people logic, especially a large group of people. That kind of thing almost seems intrinsic rather than experienced. I think if we figured out some way to teach reason to big groups of children, the rest of our issues would resolve as a result, it just seems impossible to do though.

Are HackerRank challenges timed? I didn't really want to create an account without knowing. I'm the kind of guy who likes to mull over things for a while and I don't want a shitty score of 0 if I don't solve everything in 15 minutes. I would be mostly doing it to learn.
I had to send and receive a POST request to implement google captcha on our website, so instead of learning to use libcurl, I simply fashioned together some system() calls to redirect the output of a curl POST to a file and then I read in the file and strstr()'d it looking for the word "SUCCESS" .

the problem isn't with smart pointers, it's with the concept of allocating memory in a way that requires you to later remember to free it
smart pointers are just another way to help you free your memory
the better solution is to not manually allocate memory on the heap in the first place

Hi guys, one question. I want to be able to make cool shit with programming (currently learning). I was told learning C would hone my programming skills, because it would make me "think" as a programmer. I installed linux on my laptop now (debian 8). So my question is: Can I learn C while learning other front end, backend languages (javascript, jquery, python). Or should I finish learning those first before I move on to C?
>>55333427
You only really need the basics if you're planning to do other languages. It's worth going in depth with C though as it will get you used to manipulating memory..
How do you find a fun project to work on that doesn't feel like a total waste of time?

I started lerning C++ and I want to make a console calculator as mz first program. I do this with every language I learn.
Now I want error handling for the input. If the user puts something which is not a number into the console then I want to loop it until a number gets in.
But somehow I managed to create an endless loop. The program does not wait for the next input instead it prints out a text.

you have to take input as a string instead of a double
then you check the inputted string to make sure it's a valid text representation of a double value
then you convert it to a double and do your thing if it's good, or loop and ask for input again if it's bad
