I'm making a 4chan app for the desktop, using the API and Xlib calls. So far all I have is the catalog, caching of thumbnails and images/webm, opening images/webms in feh/mpv respectively, thread subjects && comments, and scrolling with the mouse wheel. It's my first project without using a toolkit, and coincidentally without using git.

After I clean up the spaghetti and make it more RAM efficient; right now it sits at 130ish megabytes, but that can be easily chopped down by not loading every single thumbnail for the entire duration of the program's run.
It also has no real feedback for when things are downloading (it downloads all the thumbs in separate pthreads before the window is created, which doesn't happen until after the thumbnails finish downloading so the program appears to hang if there's a lot more thumbnails since last time it was run)
It also doesn't display much info about the threads yet, just the thumbnail, subject && comment. It doesn't even handle the HTML tags yet.
Finally, it doesn't even allow you to enter threads yet, just view the OP images. Once I get all these issues at least somewhat dealt with, I'll throw it up somewhere if /g/ wants it.

So I want to make a autohotkey script so that when I press a button based on what section of my monitors the window that I am hovering over it resizes to a specific size and moves to a specific location.

Have intimate knowledge of C, assembly and the architecture you're writing for. You can learn a lot of the more advanced theory as you go, but you'll still need to be able to know at any given time exactly how the hardware and software are interacting.
>>52694613
Addition or multiplication? Either way, make a macro UINT32_ADD_WILL_OVERFLOW(x, y) or whatever.

Unsigned integers don't "overflow". Overflow is when you get a carry *into* the top-most bit (i.e. from bit 30 to bit 31 for a 32-bit value).
>>52695154
What do you call it when an operation would overflow had the type enough bits?
>>52695154
So what do you call it when it wraps back to 0?

The number of JavaScript code monkeys complaining about interview processes is hilarious. Being able to write code and understanding why it's written that way is the difference between an assembly line worker and a product engineer.
These idiots actually complain that they shouldn't have to "memorize" algorithms for these interviews, completely failing to understand that an actual programmer would be able to reproduce those algorithms - not regurgitate them from memory like a trained monkey. A web developer who only knows how to copy and paste code, but not understand how or why it works, is not qualified for a "Director of Engineering" position. You aren't even an engineer.

Thanks <3

So (x * y) < x would return true if it overflowed?
>>52695425
Sorry I thought it was like telling me to leave /g/ or something
>>52695439
Not if x is 0.
>>52695439
not necessarily
do the math with a few examples
>>52695472
Well, yes, but in that case the result is always going to be 0.
>>52695472
Or y is 1.
>>52695497
this isn't rocket science
for example if you have uint8_t
x = 2
y = 255
x * y = 510 mod 256 = 254
254 < 2 = false
>>52695439
Not necessarily. Consider the following case:int32_t x = 1000000000;
int32_t y = 6;
int32_t z = x * y;
6 billion modulo 4.2 billion and some is 1.7 billion and some, which is greater than 1 billion.
For multiplication, you check for overflow with division.
>>52695237
This mindset is rampant in the web development community. Every self-taught dude who only knows JS calls themselves an engineer. The worst part isn't that they overestimate their knowledge and value, but that they are somehow indignant about companies not wanting to hire them because they can't solve simple algorithm questions.
The issue is that they know so little that they don't even know how much they don't know. They think algorithm questions are a bad way to choose candidates because they don't know enough about programming or software to even understand what those questions are testing for. They're just upset that they failed and, instead of improving their knowledge, they bask in their ignorance.
Is there any way in autohotkey to check if theres a window in a section of the monitor even if its not active or in the front.
>>52695574
Just like the Lispers before them.

You cant check like that, sadly. You dont have access to the WM, only the events that interact with it (keystrokes, batch files, simulated mouse clicks, etc)

So basically what I want is impossible:
Basically I just made a script that changes a windows position and size based on what position the cursor is.

Is that impossible with AHK?

>>52695707
>Not in AHK. I suggest you learn C++ and start coding more directly to the OS. You'll be surprised by the power it has
I'll be honest I'm rather dumb when it comes to programming and this AHK script is about as good as I get.
I honestly wouldn't even know where to get started if I decided to do C++.
On a side topic, how would I combine the scripts, run something in the background when I hit the key that would link to that script, as the AHK run script opens up a cmd window obnoxiously.
>>52695312
> Wrapping around back to 0 is still called overflow.
Not in the C standard. Or by anyone who knows what they're talking about.
It's normally referred to informally as wrapping or truncation. The actual language of the standard is:
> A computation involving unsigned operands can never overflow, because a result that cannot be represented by the resulting unsigned integer type is reduced modulo the number that is one greater than the largest value that can be represented by the resulting unsigned integer type.

Ask him how he would approach building a program to detect infinite loops in a program for given inputs. If it takes him more than 30 seconds to tell you it's impossible, don't hire.
>>52695808
it is 100% possible if the program is well-defined
>>52695439
> So (x * y) < x would return true if it overflowed?
No. For addition (x+y)<x && (x+y)<y if the calculation wraps. For subtraction, (x-y)>x if the calculation wraps.
You can't detect a wrapped multiplication; you just have to split the operands into high/low halves so that the parts can be multiplied without wrapping (but if you want 100% portability, bear in mind that nothing in the standard precludes the standard integer types from having an odd number of bits, so you may actually need to split into 3 parts).
Division can't wrap; the result is always smaller than the numerator.
>>52695761
is this even possible? it seems like we at least need to keep the string in memory, taking N space. Are you imagining reading k chars at a time from stdin or something?
>>52695888
you can use kC memory, C being some constant
>>52694553
That's actually what it meant before modern computers were invented.
>>52695825
Who says the program you're checking is necessarily well defined? There is no reason a program cannot invoke another program and check it's results to determine its behavior.
>>52695888
Nope! You use what's called a rolling hash. Once you form the initial hash (which is take k time, which is less than or equal to n) you then so a linear search where with each iteration you divide your hash by the character you no longer need and multiply by the new character.
And I take that back, it's actually constant space. It's n + k time :) (but k is always less than or equal to n so really it's just n time)
>>52695888
>>52695901
oh wait i see what you mean
i guess the k space is for your part of the algorithm, the parent string is irrelevant as it could be an array or a stream or something
>>52695918
in a real-world situation if you want to do something like that you're likely to have everything self-contained with a well-defined program to analyze and you will also not be restricted to answering yes/no like in an aspergian meme riddle, you will be able to answer yes/no/indeterminate
>>52695825
> it is 100% possible if the program is well-defined
Then ask how to determine if a program is well-defined.
Any language in which you can't create a loop whose termination is impossible to determine statically is of no use as a general-purpose programming language.

>>52695939
The real-world answer to whether a program is non-terminating is "who cares?".
There's no practical difference between a non-terminating program and a program which can be proven to terminate after 50 billion years. The only meaningful distinction is between "guaranteed to terminate in a short amount of time" and "we should consider implementing a timeout".
The ability to write non-terminating programs is a feature, not a bug. E.g. it's fairly common for the termination criterion to be "when a human decides that the program should terminate" (i.e selecting the File -> Exit menu option in a GUI application or sending SIGHUP to a daemon process). Of course, most theoretical models are limited to computation and don't even consider I/O.

Am I retarded? I'm learning to use regular expressions in python. Shouldn't this print a list of strings of characters?inputString = input()
regexString = re.findall(r"\w*", inputString)
print(regexString)
If I input "hello test python" it will output['hello', '', 'test', '', 'python', '']
instead of['hello', 'test', 'python']
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Not quite. Primes, by definition, do not have integer square roots. According to Wikipedia, these are the "first 32 bits of the fractional parts of the cube roots of the first 64 primes 2..311".

why would this be useful for encryption? did essentially pick this methodology to arrive at these numbers at random?
>>52697571
SHA-2 is not encryption; it is hashing.
Anyways, primes are useful in cryptography in general because, well, they just kind of make algebraic attacks unfeasible.

That \w* is matching the empty positions after the word matches. Why don't you use \w+ instead?

Try:regexString = re.findall(r"\w+", inputString)
* matches 0 or more, you want + which matches one or more character

> it shows you're close-minded and parroting what other people have told you
Um, no. It shows that you're aware that a general solution is impossible. If you wanted to know whether they were "parroting" a fact or actually understood why it's impossible, you'd need to ask them for an outline proof.
There are all kinds of possible approaches for detecting specific cases, but it wouldn't hurt to start by mentioning the fact that it's impossible in the general case, rather than waste half an hour outlining various (necessarily incomplete) approaches before it becomes clear that "it's impossible" is the answer they were actually looking for.
Even if they're looking for "partial" solutions, it would be wise to determine what sort of cases they expect it to deal with. That's something that's actually important in practice.

Those are the round constants. Effectively-random numbers which are used to make the function different for each round.
>>52697364
Cube roots of primes.
The point is that they're "nothing up my sleeve" numbers. Effectively random, but being generated by a simple algorithm eliminates the possibility that they were specifically chosen in such a way as to provide a back-door. The digits of pi are a common source of such numbers.
That was the problem with Dual EC DRBG: certain "random" constants P and Q were given without explanation, although the algorithm itself can be broken if you can find x such that x*P=Q (mod m). That's a hard problem to solve, but not if you're the NSA and you specifically generated Q from a value x which you already know.

I want to create a listbox type thing, one long list of containers within which I can insert data, but I don't want any of the highlighting stuff, or be able to touch it in any way. I want to achieve the same effect but without it being an actual listbox I guess.
I can't seem to find any way to achieve it.
>>52699349

Just make a listbox and then disable it. It'll still be visual, but it'll be "read only" in a sense (the user can't manipulate it in any way and it'll appear slightly greyed out).
Is there a way to style GUIs for C programs in CSS?
>>52699984
Yes, but it's extremely retarded. Basically you need to do the 'visual' aspect of your program in HTML and then bind that HTML to your program's actual functions using some medium language, which is usually JSON.

Using a computed goto would probably be a lot better.
>>52700224
Yeah gotos are usually the most efficient ways to do something.
>>52700158
depend on the programming language and the implementation of that programming language but it's probably the best option if you have procedure inlining.
>>52700258
Computed gotos are pretty much an efficient switch statement. If you're using C or C++, computed gotos are a GNU extension. I don't know about the support for it in other languages.

It's counterproductive to have your application take an hour to shut down. You don't need to free resources when your application exits because the OS does it for you.

It's not portable to assume this.
>>52700880
Most applications are developed with a specific set of target platforms in mind.
>>52700819
Doesn't the OS give each process some virtual address space that is thrown away at exit - hence "leaking" doesn't mean anything here?
>>52700892
>>52700896
Even if you want to rely on OS-specific behaviour for your program, it makes your program much harder to extend or incorporate into a long running program.
"Let the OS handle it" is a horrible mindset and leads to memory leaks in daemons and other long-running programs.
>>52700924
"Let the OS handle it" is perfectly valid in this case. Good memory management while your program is running is important, but you literally do not ever need to manually free resources when you close your program, all it does is make it take a long time to shut down when you could just let the OS do it (Which it will do anyway, even after you waste time freeing resources). The only exception is if maybe you're not using an OS from the last 20 years.
What's the deal here?
I'm linking both user32.lib and opengl32.lib
>>52700960
It's just a fucking horrible mindset to have. If you're constantly being a lazy fuck who won't even walk a few data structures to free them at program exit, you're probably going to carry that cancer to the rest of your program.
>This function returns a malloc()ed string to be printed. It's only leaks a few dozen bytes every time it's called, who cares if it leaks? It'll be freed when the program exits anyway.
