what are you working on /dpt/?
Can anyone explainthrow
in JS ? ELI5 mode ?
Any anons here familiar with encryption? I need a helping hand if anyone has the time.
I'm decrypting a byte array and comparing it to the original byte array I use in the beginning of the encryption process. The two arrays match up perfectly until the last 256 bits. From that position onward (array length - 256) they become different.
I was wondering if anyone else ever encountered this problem. I have a hunch that it may be related to padding, but I checked online and the padding being used in the examples I saw doesn't match the one I'm getting .
A fucking anime pic? That's totally irrelevant.
The real thread is here: >>54169474
>>54169492
Exception handling. Lets say you're a shitty developer who leaves errors in their code. You could fix it with better development or you could handle it with a throw exception and leave the program running.
ELI5: you know how something can crash your program at run time? This can allow you to catch that error and leave the program running.

This was first and your picture is even more irrelevant

If it doesn't work, then another 900KB is downloaded, and thrown into ffprobe again (up to like 50MB, normally gets info by 2-3MB).

What would be the pros and cons of taking the smallest allotment of cloud resources I have, spinning up an Ubuntu (any linux works) VM, and using that to hose a database (mySql, MongoDB, maybe postgreSQL), RATHER than hosting the database on the same server that host the rest of my "full stack"?
I'm guessing pros:
-If the "full stack" server goes down, the DB server won't
-This is probably what businesses do so it'd be practice for professional work
Cons:
-two servers means an extra failure point
-delay as packets go over network (can somewhat mitigate with ajax / threading)
-more work to set up an additional server
>>54169734
>>54169784
Yeah, it seems like the best use of a bloom filter is when a false positive is not actually bad. Wikipedia gives the example of figuring out how often a web page has been used. Say you only want to cache popular web pages. A bloom filter solution: every time a web page is hit, store it in a bloom filter. If a web page you're serving is already in the bloom filter (probably, false positives are possible), you know that the web page is somewhat popular. So you can save time in the future by caching the web page in some persistent storage. A false positive just means you cached a web page that didn't need it but who cares? It'll fall out of the cache when it expires anyway.

That's what the padding is for (I think). When the data gets encrypted it gets enlarged to a multiple of 8, I've seen this myself when I was debugging.
What confuses me is how it's correctly de-encrypting everything except those last few bytes.

Have you actually confirmed this? Gcc for example produces code with no branching (as in, conditional jumps that would require jump prediction, it uses cmovs) for the first function, and compiles three conditional jumps in the second function
>>54170385
Also, don't get hung up on branching, for predictable branches (which branches are going to be predicted with better accuracy knows only your cpu) the branching code may be faster than cmovs anyways. So, you can only tell which code is faster by doing actual benchmarks.

The only branching that I would be worrying about is ordering if else statements in the greatest possibility of being true. Otherwise, branching is one of the last things you should worry for because CPU designers have worked their butts off for optimizing for it.
Cache locality and size are more important, in my opinion, before you get to that point.

Sure thing, dearest familams.
I was watching this video about Source2 and Half Life 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2igP0jguSc
In the video, the guy says that from various DLLs packaged with some source2 VR demo they were able to get all sorts of code including variable names. Now perhaps I'm just ignorant, but I didn't think that any sort of dll disassembler would be able to restore variable names or anything like that (unless it's some object string type thing that would translate cleanly). Does anyone know how they go about doing things like this?
>>54170663
Variable names, no. Class names, yes
>>54170663
Maybe they left debugging information embedded.
>>54170955
>>54171022
yeah I'm thinking it was class names for gdb or whatever
Valve also appears to have info like this embedded in their game files that is just plaintext, perhaps just this
>>54171022
no, it's rtti and strings search
>>54171066
For TF2 specifically, I know Valve have their HUD files and some of their weapon files in plaintext as well.
>>54171077
How do you access that info though? I guess there's a whole world of reverse engineering stuff that I just do not know about
>>54171115
Yeah that file is from the TF2 files
atom is not rendering anything other than tabs
has this happened to anyone else?
>>54171129
>How do you access that info though?
Strings are just that: uncompressed plain text embedded in the binary, it can appear if for example you have a code that compares the name of a variable from a config file to a certain const string value - the name can end up as plain text in the binary unless you specifically take precautions against that.
The other thing is the byproduct of enabling rtti: class names with links to their virtual functions tables and some functions names end up in the binary too. Linking the actual disassembled functions to the class it belongs to takes a couple extra steps, but there are scripts that do that, like this one for IDA: http://www.openrce.org/downloads/details/196

How do I distinguish between a pointer to an array and a pointer to a pointer?
I.e., I think you're supposed to define main like thisint main (int argc, char *argv[])
which can also be written asint main (int argc, char **argv)
but now that I'm working with binary trees, I need a pointer to a pointer, for working with my insert function for nodes - I've defined it asvoid insert (int key, node **n)
but won't this technically yield an array of nodes, as it does withchar**argv??

It's true, though. C# is the best language so it has the best users.
>Because binary trees have log (base 2) n layers, the average search time for a binary tree is log (base 2) n. To fill an entire binary tree, sorted, takes roughly log (base 2) n * n.
what did he mean by this?
seriously, why are there no units? I'm missing something fundamental here.
>>54172590
n = number of units, data, whatever
If you have an array of 10 elements, n = 10
if you have a tree with 10 elements, n = 10
so finding an element of a tree takes log2(10) for the worst case
If you have 500 nodes in your tree, you will only have to check log2(500) of them before getting to what you're searching for

How can you call yourself a programmer when you don't even grasp logic.

C++ made terrible design choices. So they have to fix (workaround) them. Move semantics was introduced because calling copy constructor for everything was a stupid design choice. C doesn't need move semantics because it doesn't need it. It was properly designated.

Pascal and related languages do it that way so types can be parsed more easily.
New languages probably do it because Haskell is the cool meme right now.

Truly C plebs can't even implement a unique set data structure.

Working on pset3 of CS50.
We're implementing any O(n^2) sort method and binary search. I got Insertion Sort to work but Binary Search is giving me problems.
Just one little fucking bug until it passes check50. What am I doing wrong?

>>54174238

which one do you prefer?
>>54172480
Because there are languages that don't handle pointer comparisons with boolean logic and the writing style carries over.

the linux kernel is full of things like this
i think its because of clarity and being maintainable etc etc
>>54172480
For asserts I prefer the former because of the way asserts usually stringify the expression so you see it as != NULL in the log.
But for other code I use the shorthand with automatic conversion to true/false.
>>54172480
because your job is to write neat, readable code and its the compilers job to optimize it. if you can gain readability at no cost then it's an obvious do.
Learning about binary trees in C
The prof's code looks like this:void insert ( int key, node **leaf ) {
if ( *leaf == 0 ) { /* one star next to leaf dereferences it once, sending it to the pointer of the node, without potentially accessing an unitialized node */
/* found an empty node, puts one there */
*leaf = (node) malloc( sizeof(node) );
(*leaf)->left = 0;
(*leaf)->right = 0;
}
else if ( key < (*leaf)->key_value ) {
/* node is already here, recursively moves left because key given for the new node is smaller than the node we're at */
insert( key, &(*leaf)->left ); /* note the use of the address operator next to the pointer *leaf - essentially, it's a double pointer */
}
else if ( key > (*leaf)->key_value ) {
/* node is already here, recursively moves right because key given for the new node is larger than the node we're at */
insert( key, &(*leaf)->right );
}
But I'm wondering, isn't the double pointer unnecessary? There's never a case where something gets double-dereferenced, I don't think.
I experimented with this and madevoid insert ( int key, node *leaf ) {
if ( leaf == 0 ) {
leaf = malloc( sizeof(node) );
(leaf)->right = 0;
(leaf)->left = 0;
}
else if ( key < (leaf)->key ) {
insert( key, (leaf)->left );
} else if ( key >= (leaf)->key ) {
insert( key, (leaf)->right );
}
}
which seems to work just as well, but I'm wondering if I'm actually doing something terribly wrong.

leaf = malloc( sizeof(node) );
(leaf)->right = (leaf)->left = 0;

Hey guys I want to make a website to "generate" memes but using a full stack nodeJS or maybe Rails, I'm no JS ninja so I'm still looking at various frameworks to pick the best one I checked the domain memizr .io is free and I'm looking for a partner / another code artisan (you don't need to be a 10x) to join me in this enterprise. anyone interested?

You forgot to mention cloud computing, and neural networks.
So I am going to re learn C because I have been learning it in a terrible book and now I got K&R C.
Anything else I should read, I don't know yet how to implement my programs into actual computing.
>>54174522
Yes it's not optimal. Production code is much more lean. I guess he's just trying to teach you about double pointer arithmetic but couldn't find a suitable example.

You could have added a lot more stuff. But this is a good effort.

Which NODE.js fork is the most async?
>>54174536
>>54174623
But there's nothing wrong with my version? There isn't some kind of increased chance of accessing memory that hasn't been allocated to the program?
Incidentally, what would be the optimal insert function?
Also, what do you mean by production code?

leaf still points to e.g. nullptr outside the scope of your function, not your prof's.

Nah you're good.
>increased chance
Memory isn't allocated by chance.
>what would be the optimal insert function
Not doing your homework, son. Once you're done with the exercise, try to create a completely new test program and design it so that the insert function actually takes the root node only, not subnodes too. Manipulating the tree directly is bad practice.
>production code
Something that won't get you fired if someone quality checks it.
Which is best?
1val m: Map[Id, Coord] = xs.map { case (x, y, z) => x -> Coord(y, z) }(collection.breakOut)
2val m = xs.map { case (x, y, z) => x -> Coord(y, z) }.toMap
3val m: Map[Id, Coord] = xs.map(e => e._1 -> Coord(e._2, e._3))(collection.breakOut)
4val m = xs.map(e => e._1 -> Coord(e._2, e._3)).toMap

Which should I read first, SICP or K&R? I have some very limited prior experience with programming, but wouldn't call myself a programmer yet.
>>54174721
>But there's nothing wrong with my version?
Aside from the fact it leaks 100% of allocated memory, no.
>There isn't some kind of increased chance of accessing memory that hasn't been allocated to the program?
No. There is a 100% chance of dereferencing the null pointer though.
>Incidentally, what would be the optimal insert function?
Your prof's.
>Also, what do you mean by production code?
He means he literally can't write a valid fizzbuzz in C.

Don't force yourself to get through all of it before going on to other texts or languages(although it's great if you can). You can always come back and finish it later.

JavaFx is newest one and more modern compared to Swing which is more older and a lot of companies are moving over to JavaFx but still a lot use Swing. In all honesty it doesn't really matter same with picking a programming language they are all pretty much the same
I'm starting to learn C and it seems pretty good so far, I'm coming from java and a lot of things seem similar.

Does anyone know any good resources for learning C?
