Alright anyone doing deep learning here?
I'm trying to figure out theano and CUDA here and been thinking.
Does anyone develop under W10?
I'm currently on W7 but this conference and the fact that I have a free W10 edu license from my uni makes me wanna jump ship.
what does dpt think?
gotta love the d programming thread
Which is the best 3d game engine that is still maintained with C api?
Currently it seems that irrilich is the only option.
>>53772623
i've done a little bit with deep learning. used theano.
i work as a programmer and use W10, but it wouldn't be my first choice (i like OS X). it doesn't offer any benefits to W7 currently, but this summer they'll be adding bash which will be helpful.

ye-es? I suppose so. but consider the amount of knowledge I, the end-user, need to have in order to use this- starting with the knowledge that this file exists. admittedly I'm a nincompoop; most users are going to be smarter than me, but I'm probably not more than a standard deviation, standard deviation and a half stupider than the mean. That's still like ~7%, 15% of your users. I understand that this tool exists because the number of formats/subsets of the docs/sources to document is more than they can reasonably have available for download, but again: it is probably trivial to programmatically generate a command that grabs, say, the Racket Guide; from there I could figure out how I want it formatted. As is it is a non-trivial investment of my time to get my preferred format of documentation. This as a prerequisite, corequisite for me learning to use this language. I understand that I'm being incredibly autistic right now, but "there's a utility to produce documentation for arbitrary sources in arbitrary formats" is not the same as "there's readable docs available to the language learner without undue effort".

I'm new to c++. I have a function which has a vector as a return value, so I do this aVectorOfSomething = foo(...). Should I re-factor the function so that it now has a void return value, but accept a reference to the vector it's supposed to fill up? Which of these two approaches is generally preferable?

>>53773602
Both are Okay. I guess the way you did is better for most people. It's nice, because you can chain like so:auto size = foo().size();
Theoretically this way has a problem that you have to construct the vector and then copy-construct, but in practice modern compilers optimize out the copy.
Just remember not to return a reference to this vector if it's a function-local variable.
I'm reading this "A Pamphlet against R," and one of the things Godek mentions in passing is that even things which have no logical order must, in programming and much of the time in human language, be articulated in some order.
being the person that I am, my train of thought immediately jumped tracks: What if signed language was the primary mode of communication when we were inventing programming languages?
Signed languages also impose order on their utterances, but the balance of sequence vs. simultaneity is strongly slanted towards simultaneity as compared spoken languages. For instance, the signed syllable doesn't order its sub-units- they occur simultaneously. And to a much greater degree than in spoken languages, lexical/morphological units can be both analysable- that is, clearly understood as separate units, rather than being one fusional unit with multiple independent functions- and simulatneous. In ASL, the precise quality of movement one makes with the sign "SICK" may be modulated in myriad ways to indicate the output signed word's "aspect," or time-relational quality; this is simultaneous to the part of the sign that represents the root "SICK". At the same time, the quality of movement may be recognized as an independent unit from the "SICK" component; you can apply that quality of movement, in accordance with the grammar, to other such predicates in a predictable way. It's not like Latin, where declension expresses gender and case and number all with the same ending, but the endings themselves are not in a simple way composed of individual units for gender, case, and number.
How would a signing inventor of programming make a different programming language? Would it have units that, under our model, are sequentially ordered instead composed into a single time-unit by, e.g., bitwise operations? Makes You Think

Your logic is that paint is an enum, so it can't be anything else.
Except paint isn't an enum, it's an int, so it can be any int value.
You do whatever you would do if paint was not initialised properly.

There's no definition that includes CS. Science, in the broadest definition you can make, studies things to understand how they work. We invented computers, there's no model to be made because the implementation of a Turing machine already exists. It's not a field of study.

Alright I'm trying to learn Java here.
I'm using scanner for user input, is there a better (I mean a more elegant way) to ask for input on say 3 variables, a b and c instead of writing it like this:Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

If it's not implicitly cast, you're either writing C++ (in which case you should use new instead) or you're doing something wrong which the compiler _should_ complain about.

you can't rules-lawyer natural language friend. definitions are not Platonic ideals, they're squishy abstractions in human brains that happen to be similar enough among a well-chosen population that information transfer is possible. a sufficiently tightly chosen population may establish external norms that they can attempt to follow in order to allow more faithful information transfer. however, this only works if all the members of this population consent to the external norm. if this dude's squishy abstraction allows science to mean something yours doesn't, and they don't feel like conforming to your squishy abstraction, you'll either have to deal with that subjectivity or impose communicative and social penalties on yourself

and the point here is that "shortening" code is only an efficiency boost if all other factors are held constant
if shortening code impacts any other factor, you have a more complex problem on your hands
for instance, "longer" code, within certain constraints, is often more intelligible (see >>53774633 for an example of code length impacting intelligibility negatively)
lowered intelligibility is an efficiency loss on a MUCH grander scale than shorter code's impact on compile time

}
you: how do I shorten this code

It will not, as file seek and skipping whitespace have minuscule overhead.
Writing clean code has a lot higher impact, the more "funky" code-paths the harder it is for the compiler to synthesise it.
If the code is identical in all other aspects except whitespace and variable name length, then maybe you can shave of fractions of a nanosecond.

This is, Caesar's cipher takes a phrase to cipher and a key, say I wan't to cipher using a 2 key.Hello world!
would becomeJgnnq Yqtnf!
This is the formula used:
ci = (pi + k) % 26
where
pi = ith char in p (plaintext)
k = key
ci = ith char in c (ciphertext)
I implemented this in a C function as follows:// Applies cipher formula to upper case chars
char shift_upp (char val, int key)
{
char arr[26] = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
char pi = val;
int k = key;
return arr[( (pi - 'A' + k) % 26)];
}
// Applies cipher formula to lower case chars
char shift_low (char val, int key)
{
char arr[26] = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
char pi = val;
int k = key;
return arr[( (pi - 'a' + k) % 26)];
}

Hello /pol/ my old friend.
>>53774916
I'm sorry for implying I disagree with you; you go in the Them category because your argument is not the same as mine.
>the You argument: I should shorten this code because it will reduce compile time.
>the Them (you) argument: No, it won't, and it will also have negative impacts in other ways.
>the Us (me) argument: I literally do not know whether compile time is affected by the length, in characters, of logically identical code. and you know what? I don't care to find out, because the negative impacts of shortening perfectly clear code consume time on a scale so far removed from its impact on compile time that the question is uninteresting.
I'm sure you're correct that compile time can also be negatively impacted by shortening code. I just don't really care because it's a bad goal to have for other reasons that, by the math, are lots more important. I don't begrudge you the academic horse you have in this race, I'm just not interested in the outcome.

However, Vigenere's cipher takes a phrase and instead of a key number, uses a keyword, for example:Meet me at the park at eleven amusing bacon as keyword would output:Negh zf av huf pcfx bt gzrwep oz

ci = (pi + ki) % 26

why would anon care about an equally subjective definition he doesn't agree with? why would anyone care about defining anything? there ARE no objective definitions. further, you are failing to establish successful communication because you are insisting on having your way, like a small child.
one thing you could do is say "when I use the word science, I use it in a way that excludes Computer Science because this" and then stop insisting on your definition, and on contradicting the interlocutor's definition. your opinion is registered, information is communicated.

That was a remarkably ignorante statement. Yes, there are. The definition of Integer, for example, isn't subjective. You can take an apple and call it an integer, sure, but you're not following.
>further, you are failing to establish successful communication because you are insisting on having your way
No, I'm the one using the actual definition of science, and saying that the concept of a formal science goes against it. It's you who's holding on to a contradictory concept, the idea that a science can come up with universal truths.
>>53775273
It's not MY definition. The guy who invented the scientific method gave the last definition of science, and that goes against the idea of a formal science: science, according to the scientific method, can't uncover universal truths. Gravity isn't a universal truth. No law of physics is a universal truth. Math, for example, can because it relies on axioms. It CANNOT be wrong. 2+2=4 will always be true in math. Thus, CS isn't a science.

>Computer science is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications. It is the systematic study of the feasibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodical procedures (or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing, storage, communication of, and access to information. An alternate, more succinct definition of computer science is the study of automating algorithmic processes that scale. A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems.
>NOT SCIENCE
logical objects have well-defined behavior. linguistic objects do, as well, in a particular linguistic system- e.g., the linguistic system used by a single individual- and not in the way that logical objects do, because their boundaries are always and everywhere fuzzy- that "fuzziness" is constrained (again, within a particular linguistic system), but it is inherent to natural languages.
>>53775392
science's original definition is "a way of knowing," or an epistemological system. math is an epistemological system, ergo, under this (valid, attested, exactly-as-real-as-yours) definition, math is a science. the "actual definition" doesn't exist. the science you describe is one (1) logical object. empirically, it is obvious that it is not the only one to which "science" maps in the wild. logically, it is obvious that science's connection to said logical object is arbitrary.
>>53775392

>It CANNOT be wrong. 2+2=4 will always be true in math. Thus, CS isn't a science.
CS is not purely mathematics either, though. I'm fairly certain I conducted science for my master thesis, for example, by conducting experiments in a test bed based on my hypotheses and then applying statistical analysis of the results in order to understand what the hell was going on and then conclude that my hypotheses were wrong.

You can't really "convert Caesar's to Vigenère's", this has little meaning, if any. Caesar's is Vigenère's with a length-one key if you will. You need to replace k in your function with an expression that gets one of the characters of the key string based on the index you are at within the message... Wait, those 2 functions you posted don't encrypt (resp. decrypt) a message, they just encrypt a character. Do you have those functions that work on messages? You're confused because Vigenère's does not make sense on single characters, does that help?

I'm using the functions inside a loop that goes through the string of the message.// Loops through string to cipher
string cipher (string text, int key)
{
for (int i = 0, n = strlen(text); i < n; i++)
{
// If upper case, calls shift_upp
if (isupper (text[i]))
{
text[i] = shift_upp (text[i], key);
}
// If lower case, calls shift_low
else if (islower(text[i]))
{
text[i] = shift_low (text[i], key);
}
}
printf ("%s\n", text);
return text;
}
Also yes, it helps a litte, I'm still confused though.

AFAIK you can't set the language, and the highlighter doesn't care about it anyway. It just colors some widespread keywords and constructs, and sometimes we notice that it doesn't make sense, specially with languages without a C-like syntax.

>CS is not purely mathematics either, though.
Oh for fuck's sake, you could even add actual science courses to the CS curriculum, the courses actually relating to CS like algorithmia still uncover universal truths and that goes against the definition (which you clearly don't know, so read the link above).
>I'm fairly certain I conducted science for my master thesis
I'm sure you worked hard and found stuff. That has absolutely nothing to do with the idea that a formal science uncovers universal truths and science by definition can't uncover universal truths (I'll keep repeating this until it goes in your thick webdev skull).
For example, you've seen algorithms getting proven to be correct by showing it's impossible they're wrong, right? This is something that does not happen in science according to the scientific method. It's just not contemplated, there's a degree of uncertainty to everything. You and I can be uncertain of the conclusion of something, but if we reach a conclusion using correct proof, the conclusion must be correct as well. This does not happen in Science because the concept of "correct proof" does not exist, everything is within ranges of uncertainty.
