>Java jobs web dev
I'm sure there is also mobile.
It's because most jobs are web and mobile now. Desktop software is almost dead/oss (you could try applying to JetBrains I guess, they use java plenty), for internal enterprise apps windows+c# is usually preferred, a lot of java ecosystem (web frameworks, tooling) is open-source, so there aren't that many job openings to work on it. Videogames are c++/c# so there isn't much left. There are decent machine learning libraries as far as I'm aware, so I suppose it is used some in research, but python is more popular. So here you go

Sounds like an interesting enough idea. What kinds of features do you want to support?

How do I do this?
>Through this assignment, you will learn how to use multiple threads in you Java application programs. The assignment is to write a multithread Java program that performs matrix multiplication. In the program, you need to calculate each element in the result matrix in a separate thread. For the convenience of programming, two sample matrices could be included in your code. However, your code should be generic with regard to matrix size. The sizes of three matrices should be stored in variable and used. The two operand matrices and the result matrix should be printed.
I can make a multithreaded program that prints strings, and a program that multiplies matrices, but I'm not sure how to make a multithreaded matrix multiplication program.
>>54232180
TYSFM anon hahaha I knew /g/ would help
>>54232205
[A, B, C] X [E, F, G] -> [AE + BF + CG]
just let each thread do one of those calculations
redundant because its like 5 instructions and no wait
>>54232205
when you matrix multiply, you do row times row = 1 value
because all the values of the matrix are independent, each index of the matrix can be calculated independently
i.e. if you're multiplying two 4x4 matrices, the resultant matrix does not have any shared data location for each multiplication, so it can all be done in parallel (i.e. each matrix index can get its own thread in a really naive solution)
sorry if that is somewhat confusing but that is the idea
>>54231666
Dumb question, but I'm having some cin trouble.
So, at the start of my small menu program, I need a cin.ignore() otherwise it skips the first thing where I ask if the user wants a short readme.
So then it jumps down to "what do you want to add?" This is where I'm having a bit of trouble, and I don't see any way around it. Let's assume I don't have a cin.ignore() The first time, it will go off without a hitch. It'll get some more input from the user in a class function, then hop back to main and continue doing menu shit. Second time around, it will just skip past it.
BUT, if I add a cin.ignore() to it, it will work all times after the first time, but fails the second time. The problem with the first time is it ignores the first character because I didn't enter a complex input.
I'm not sure how to really remedy this, save an if statement checking if I've already run this switch case once. Any advice, /g/? I can whip up a mock code real quick if it isn't really all that clear.

Okay, I mocked up a menu code since what I have right now is kind of a hot mess. Problem still happens with it though.#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void printMenu()
{
cout << "1. This is the only option" << endl;
}
int main()
{
bool readme = false;
char choice = 0;
while(choice != 2){
printMenu();
cin >> choice;
switch (choice){
case '1':{
if(readme == false){
cout <<"Do you want to view the readme?" << endl;
cin.ignore();
string ans;
getline(cin,ans);
readme = true;
if(ans == "yes"){
//display the readme
}
}
cout << "Enter what you want to add" << endl;
string item;
cin.ignore();
getline(cin,item);
cout << item << endl;
//add item to class, gets some more inputs from user
break;
}
case '2':
cout << "bye" << endl;
break;
}
}
}
So same as before, first run through, when it asks for the user to enter an item after the readme, an input of "string" will be read as "ring".
Haven't seen anyway around it, so if anybody had a suggestion, I'd appreciate it.

This isn't exactly related to your problem of the skipped input, but you are comparing choice as the integer value 2 in your while loop, and the ASCII value for the character '2' everywhere else.
Aside from that, I suspect your problem is due to the differing behavior of cin << and getline() when it comes to the newline. IIRC, cin extracts characters until the first whitespace character is reach, but leaves that character in there. getline extracts characters until a certain length or the newline, but extracts the newline as well. Double check the details of that - cin can be configured to extract whitespace, and getline can be configured to leave it.
You can try tinkering by putting the ignore after the cin, but I personally like to do all of my reading consistently (i.e. use cin and only cin, or getline and only getline) because it avoids weird surprises like this. I also tend to read user input into a string first, then deal with it from there, but I can understand wanting to avoid the complexity at this point.

I suppose it's easier than reading comprehension or basic debugging skills.
Asshat, it's not even finding the fucking module to import at all. That means it's not getting into those files to find those errors.
>modern programmers
>>54233261
Sure.
Plenty of experience involving x86 assembly, not with floating point numbers or any of the more complicated instruction subsets. I use Immunity Debugger to debug programs, it's basically Ollydbg with some nicer features to get around a few things.
As far as trainers are concerned, I've done plenty of stuff with Cheat Engine... more than just modifying memory values. Sometimes it gets more complicated, you need to actually modify memory resident code.
As far as DLL injection is concerned, one project I did grabbed a password from an authentication login application (proof of concept.) Since the field was set as a password box, it was only readable by the parent process. i.e. I couldn't just read the memory from the process. I had to actually inject a DLL to read the field and transfer the information back to the injector process.
Decent amount of Windows API experience, sort of goes without saying since I did the DLL injection thing.
Most important thing is I'm willing to learn. I go to a pretty good university, but they don't teach things like this. I have a burning desire to learn new things like this (especially rev eng and security.)

>>54233908
A char * doesn't guarantee that it's a sequence of (multibyte?) characters followed by a null terminator.
Since there is no type in C which guarantees this property, there is no "string type" in C.

>>54233928
Who says it has to be null terminated? That's just a convention for the standard library. It's ultimately up to the programmer to decide how they want to handle strings. If they want to construct a struct that'll hold a pointer and a length field, and maybe a capacity field, that's their choice. Indeed, in many language interpreters -- written in C -- a custom struct is used for strings.
>>54233973
Length field should be a size_t, not an int.
>>54234056
that string literal compiles down a pointer to a read-only section of the executable that holds the string literal.
since it gets replaced with a dereferenced pointer at compile-time, you can also do weird shit like calling specific characters using array subscripts"ABCDEF"[3]will access D

char _str[];
} string;
#define string_auto(lit) (string){ .len = strlen(lit), .str = lit }
#ifdef __GNUC__
/* Non-standard garbage, but is stack-allocated and modifiable */
#define string_auto_GCC(lit) ({ \

s; \
})
#endif
string *string_heap(const char *lit)
{

if (!s)
return NULL;

}
int main()
{
string s1 = string_auto("test1");

printf("%s\n", s1.str);

To fix the redefinition, remove the {} from the declaration of Container in the header, you're providing an empty definition in the header and then trying to add another definition in your source file.
To fix your instantiation error, remove the virtual from addChildren and getChildren or make a class to extend Container, keeping the virtual modifier and provide a definition for your function there.
>>54234653
you declared these methods as abstract
and now you're defining them
why? how do you guys get to this code? Do you read nothing at all and just throw random syntax constructs until it works/someone on the internet fixes everything for you?

he needs to remove "= 0" that doesn't let him define the methods, virtual is fine.
If I wanted to program my own Window manager, what do I need to get familiar with?
I heard X.org is terrible, any truth to that?
>>54234724
sorry anon, reading my reply I should have specified a little more, I'm on the way out the door so it was just a quick response to point him in the right direction since others weren't being particularly helpful.
>>54234737
study https://github.com/SirCmpwn/sway for example. It's for wayland. Xorg is terrible, it's 100% truth
>>54234737
anything that's not the native window manager to the OS you're using is going to be inferior
>>54234737
>I heard X.org is terrible, any truth to that?
X11 is VERY old, and has all sorts of legacy cruft with it. Also, security with X11 is a complete joke.
I've never done any significant programming with it though, but I don't think it takes a huge amount of code to write a window manager (dwm is less than 2000 lines).
If you want to write something modern without all of the X11 cruft, write a Wayland compositor, but that is significantly harder to do.
>>54234757
Isn't Wayland still WIP and unstable?
>>54234782
writing a wm for xorg is a waste of time imo, this way you'd at least learn something that may be of use later
>>54234782
Wayland is already at version 1.3. I think there is still a little tweaking going on with xdg-shells and other desktop stuff, but overall, it's pretty stable.
What's really needed at this point is good wayland compositors.
>>54234782
Wayland itself isn't unstable, but most DE's that try to use Wayland are unstable.
>>54234775
>dwm is less than 2000 lines
That does sound impressive, and I just checked out its Makefile, it's genuinely readable.
>>54234792

>>54234802
I may try it out then.

I guess that's why everyone's still on X.
What's with Canonical's project though? Are we going to have both Wayland and Mir in the future?
>>54234931
>I may try it out then.
I've looked into it myself before. It's pretty damn involved.
There is a whole lot of shit you have to do yourself which used to be handled by the X server.

>>54234602
I've been reading about something fun yesterday. Have you ever heard of a MOVE architecture? It's like an extreme version of a RISC processor.
So in this architecture your processor can only handle one instruction - MOVE. You do different operations by moving data to specialized registers, which produce side effects which are results of your operations. So if you want to add two numbers, you move them into two special registers for adding which triggers operation of addition on them.
Here's one way of doing it: http://www.ht-lab.com/freecores/move/move.html
I don't know if you're into things like that, but you could do a simulator of such a processor, maybe implement it in some hdl, try to modify the architecture in some way (I have some ideas), try to write some fizzbuzz for it etc.
>>54235064
You're a life saver, thanks a ton.
>>54235050
Does interesting things if you pass a null string tho

Get with the fucking times, grandpa. C has evolved a lot since then.
>>54235223
C has only introduce useless feature like bool,nested function, possibility to declare vars everywhere. Nothing that really change the way of coding.
When .net has evolved it has introduced
generic, then lambda. That changes everything.
Modern C just introduced cosmetic changes.

That alone would be enough of a reason.

None of them fundamentally change the language, but still adds several nice features.
>Modern C just introduced cosmetic changes.
You've never taken a good look at what they have added to C, have you?
You're missing out on all sorts of shit like VLAs, designated initialisers, compound literals, stdint.h, variadic macros, etc. just to name a few from C99.

Totally useless things that don't change the way of coding. You're a code monkey. Don't answer I will ignore you, I don't have time to lost with bad developers.
Why is C++ so bloated and shitty? C is much better.
>>54235246

Yes, let's hoist a dozen variables with no immediate context and expect the maintainer to keep track of every single one throughout the following control-flow-infested function.

I got a question on hybrid vs native apps.
Why are people still writing native apps? It seems like with tools Like Cordova and phone gap the practical thing to do Would be write a hybrid app and ship everywhere at once.
So why do people still write native apps? (sorry if it's a newbie question, I'm new to programming for mobile)
>>54235286

>>54235579
why would that make people a cunt?

Not really. Since C++11 it has lambdas, but not nested functions.
>People complaining about people on 4chan being assholes
I think you should leave.
>>54235613

i think conventional style nested functions would be neat for when you have some utility function that only gets used within another function, so you can stow it away in the top of that function

The "hybrid" technologies come with performance penalty.
>>54235500
Because:
>better performance
>native API is always more mature, stable and complete
>one dependency less
/dpt/ is it normal to think you 'can do nothing'?
Like, I got a project in uni, thought "holy fuck this is impossible I have no idea what to do" - and then I was done in under half the time we had for it.
Okay, as I'm studying EE it was electronics and programming, not just plain programming, but still.
I always get this hopeless feeling that I have no idea what to do, but then it easily works out - very fast even. Normal?
>>54235730
xie xie
but I think I will try VS
in the past I used notepad and DJGPP
>>54235742
> in this architecture your processor can only handle one instruction - MOVE
>>54235765
instead of thinking "this looks complicated" when you get the project you should think "which of my knowledge does apply here? where do i look to learn about the missing parts?"
>>54235765
Google 'software estimates'.
Yes, it's normal. Try breaking it down.
>>54235500
because webshit like cordova and phone gap suck fucking ass, gives a low quality product with terrible performance and battery drain, and they tend to have bigger filesizes and have more bugs
especially for games and multimedia you need good performance
>>54235500
>Why are people still writing native apps?
For the sake of simplicity, there's three development camps:
>'BFC' big fucking company (twitter, facebook, etc.)
>small to mid-size company, as well as internal applications
>individual fartbox devs
BFC has the resources to write a native application for each platform. Web, Android, iOS, WP(maybe), etc.
Individual fartbox only knows Swift or Java and so deploys to one of these two things, as they haven't had enough experience to play with hybrid tools, or their copy/pasted code from their college class doesn't fit the basic MVC layout.
Small/Mid companies, ESPECIALLY for internal applications, are using hybrid deployment. I personally maintain one for the company I work for, as well as a few clients. Xamarin makes it pretty damn easy, as I already was familiar with C#.
>>54235500
>>54235795
and if you know what you're doing you can write "native" code that you can very easily port to any platform
>>54235781
>>54235786
As I said, the solving's not the problem. It ends up going "ah, I can try this, oh, then this, then that" and suddenly everything's done, when I think I'm still far from the goal.
Suddenly this feeling of "lel it's done" sets in.
So I'll just take that as a "yes, it's normal".
>>54235742
None of this:
http://ref.x86asm.net/geek.html
>>54235500
Try writing anything more than a "Hello world" app in a hybrid framework of choice and you'll know.

COBOL is shit, and yet our banking systems rely on it. C is unsafe, and yet it's the lingua franca of programming.
