@ionic hull I haven't replied to you because the website isn't even live yet, we're still working on those security concerns at the same time that we have other task to do. And I'm not concerned right now that you can bruteforce passwords since the current users are login in using a connected account, so they don't have a password to bruteforce. There's approx 6 accounts that have passwords, and they all have 20-30 caracters long random strings has password.

I am trying to decide over what programming language to learn. I like java and C# because their cross-platform ,,feuture". What would you recomand?
small escarp
python is a good language to start
between those two C# is the better language IMO
but in general you need to consider what you actually want to achieve with the language
e.g. machine learning is all about python these days
whereas system programming (OSes) is much more C-centered
obtuse stump
nodejs is cancer, plz kill ๐
rustic ridge
Well,that's the thing. I don't have anything specific in mind yet about what I want to achieve with a language(defenately not web programing) and find the one that is best suited for my purpose,so I was looking for something versatile for desktop/mobile apps
@small escarp
obtuse stump
"something versatile for desktop/mobile apps" <- if you want to do all that with one language, then javascript is the way.
If you havent coded yet, I would suggest Python. Lots of great tutorials and it's a decent language to start out in. Learning the second/third etc languages will be a lot easier than first anyway.
small escarp
desktop mobile..... that's way too broad in general
that's like saying I want to program
but in mobile you either go web (javascript)
or java/swift
for android/ios
(at this point I don't think Objective C is reasonable for newcomers)
as Mart said, if you haven't coded anything yet, you should probably start with python
it's a very capable choice with good defaults
proper saddle

If you don't know what you want to actually do then just learn Python

What would you do if you had a 100GB text file ( that only contains 1 line ) and must replace a keyword
My option would be split the line in 200 characters until the end, and do it 4-5 times but with different split chars ( instead of 200, do it 205, so that the keyword doesnt break )
Tell me yours
small escarp
sed
if that doesnt scale enough, a simple script
important detail: do only 1 pass
and your char split doesn't work
e.g. if the keywords spans 200-205-210 and so on
obtuse stump
First of all I would go and beat up the guy that generated that 100GB one-line text file.
ionic hull
Nice point xD
obtuse stump
But if I would have to work with this kind of file, then I'd use a stream and start matching (if I have to program it myself) or use some tool for it (preferred solution as people have probably worked hard on it and made it more efficient than I can).

@ionic hull so in your world activeX is the better language?
small escarp
web doesn'tnecessarily have any good languages
javascript may be the best alternative among crappy ones (has improved vastly with ES2015.....)
but that doesn't meanit's a good language
javascript relevance is only because "it was there", and sadly that's what drives the web for browsers which were typically not updated at all
anyway, with webassembly one may use any decent programming language for theweb now

@vestal glen no
javascript is the best where none is the good
why would it put automaticaly semicolons

@whole quail hopefully you're not reinventing the wheel and you are using a date lib (http://infiniteundo.com/post/25326999628/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-time)
@ionic hull if you give us some numbers we could assist you more accurately
e.g. server CPU, RAM, disk io, topology (if any)
database server.... the same specs
which of the two is the bottleneck? (database or web server/program)
are you using appropriate indices in your database?
are you using a CDN for static content?
etc.

@small escarp I'm trying to get 2 date formats to work together with a date library
But the dates have funny things wrong with them, like being 1 off and some are datetime which just breaks compatibility with them randomly
small escarp
what are the formats?
(and don't sweat it, even Apple has trouble with dates, https://robservatory.com/month-13-is-out-of-bounds/)
whole quail
It's literally google sheets and google calendar
Sheets is that weird excel thing
I worked out how to get that right
*sometimes
It's not consistant
And the google calendar returns dates in a nice simple format
But they seem to be off by a bit
And the ones with date time just break everything
I have to deal with dates all the time and each time it never gets better
And now both the dates I'm getting are off
ionic hull
What language are you using? @whole quail
ionic hull
Does it support native javascript?
whole quail
Sorta
It supports a lot of native javascript
But it doesn't support everything
It was really easy to transfer my nodejs code over too
No large changes at all
ionic hull
Where does it run?
whole quail
It runs on googles servers
Which is why it's better for grabbing a lot of google api data
timid widget
yeah google's dumbed down js for developing simple chrome extensions and google office apps
whole quail
It's far quicker than any api
ionic hull
But you spent hours making some dates
whole quail
I mean I'm using a date library
The Javascript one but still
It takes like 10 seconds to run
With the nodejs api it took well over a minute
ionic hull
Welp, cant help you with that
Never used app script
Maybe I had an idea
Run the app script with the normal stuff
And scrape it with nodejs
timid widget
Jub, what are you trying to do
whole quail
Trying to compare dates from the sheets api with the dates from the calendar api
timid widget
I'm a pretty experienced JS dev if you need help
whole quail
atm I'm turning them both into the date object
But there's some weird stuff happening
It works for some but not all
timid widget
how are you "comparing them"?
whole quail
atm comparing the iso strings
And just storing those
Instead of storing a lot of date objects
ionic hull
What format do you get them ( both ) , can you show an example
timid widget
ISO strings are more translatable i guess. You reparsing them as you go?
whole quail
For the calendar it's yyyy-mm-dd
But it's really weird
Tried so many different things
But none of them actually work completely
Chopping off the time part of the iso string and comparing it to the calendar one
Converting both into date objects and getting iso string without time
Which is exactly the same thing
But it works better sorta
Tried dealing with offsets myself
ionic hull
And for the other one
whole quail
That went as terribly as you'd think
Sheets is just a serial number I turn into a javascript object
atm what I do is I store the date as the iso string with time cut out
Since I don't need time
But then it's off by one day for 90% of them
So I counter that
And now it's off by one day for just 1 item
But there's no difference between them
???
ionic hull
can you convert the dates to UTC?
whole quail
With the date object I can
Ideally the google api's could either use the same format or let me have it in utc
whole quail
I think I might know what's happening
I think it's to do with timezones and the google docs lying to me
small escarp
if you're getting off by one in some of the dates the most likely culprit is timezones
in the ISO string, remember to consider the timezone data (which could affect the "effective" day)
whole quail
Timezone's shouldn't be a problem
According to the docs
But I think the docs are wrong

TSLint also complains if you don't have an extra line for some reason. :/
vestal glen
@proper saddle I just mentioned that
lost schooner
I've always wondered why @proper saddle
small escarp
and for git, you can always omit whitespace
vestal glen
it's because else you'd see the last line removed and added every time you add or remove a line in the file in version control
small escarp
@proper saddle that's because unix typically expected text files to end with newlines
not just with EOF
for example, for concatenation
some programs may assume this and may not process the last line if it doesn't end with a newline
(and with unix I mean POSIX, which most OSes interface)

Having some formal programming education in there can be a pretty large benefit though
timid widget
Bootcamps will never teach you how to get to the result, only how certain results are produced. Some form of creativity, logic and problem solving is needed, and are easily self taught. Bootcamps are okay, they just give you the results on a plate and don't really explain how it was made and why it all works.

If you want a job just repeating the same things all the time then Bootcamps are fine
Will teach you how to do something and let you do it over and over

my experience when it comes to learning new languages and technologies, just being dumped into it with a project / solution in mind is the best way to learn, aslong as you have basic fundamentals to "how to code" actually having an end product in mind, rather than just more complicated "hello world" applications

Maybe later
I'd look into tutorials on youtube and then looks into MSDN after you learn the general stuff.
whole quail
If you have something you want to do then pick a language that's best suited for it
If you just want to learn, go ahead and learn whatever you want and as much as you want
Just know that no single language can do everything
If you want to actually be a decent programmer and be able to be effective you should worry less about the language and more about the concepts you need to learn to be effective with any language
If you feel you don't know anything about oop, choose a oop heavy language
If you don't know data structures well, choose something like C
Instead of trying to "pick the best language" when learning just pick the language that you think can teach you the most while not being overwhelming
If you don't know what language that would be, just learn Python tbh
It's got many many downsides but it's an amazing language to start with
And if you think some ancient language that's really obscure is going to help you the most then don't be afraid to learn it
Also don't be afraid to experiement and have fun, people will tell you why you shouldn't do something, but you should focus on learning why not to do something rather than to learn to just not do it

Quick question, what would you recommend for a web-application (for admin-interface + RESTapi)? Currently using PHP, but I've considered switching to Python?
dawn geyser
angular js? node js ?
for the admin interface
is the rest api already in place? or are you developing that too ?
smoky hearth
Is this for suggestions too?
regal tinsel
@dawn geyser I've made an "alpha" version of both in PHP, but going forward I considered changing to something like Python or Node js.. Whats the difference between Node js and Angular js?
Ok, derp... Angular is frontend and Node is backend.. right?
dawn geyser
both node.js and angular are more front end solutions
i believe
its been aw hile
your REST api could be in whatever language you feel is best for it
you however do not need (or should not need) Server side scripting (php) for your admin interface
you can use node.js for server side items though i believe
but its been a while since i looked into / used both of them, so i forget what they are best used for
i guess it depends on your goal and what you want it to do in the end
regal tinsel
Thanks ๐
ornate radish
@regal tinsel node.js is a backend solution that let's you run javascript programs on the server instead of just being confined to the front end. Like you said Anglular js is a front end framework that can be paired with any backend (i.e. .NET, Java Spring, Node.js, etc). Anglular is more akin to React than Node.

Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but Iโve got a question for you guys.
Iโm in school for a degree involving system security, and I can either focus on C++ or Python. Which is the most useful in the current environment? I have some experience with C++ already, from earlier courses, but none in Python.

You should go for Python, because of AI stuff being mostly done with Python and AI will be one of the only thing you will work with in 5-10 years IMO

System security?
If I try and guess what that actually means I would think it's to do with networking and the lower level stuff involved with servers/systems
In which case Python would be a stupid choice
nocturne galleon
Basically analyst stuff.
Pentesting etc.
Iโve been wondering if I shouldnโt try to go for a cyber security engineering degree instead though. I still have a couple years left.
grand hornet
@nocturne galleon I would say C++ or C# since most larger companies use C related languages for applications and security layers. Bank of America is one big one for sure that uses C# applications for internal SSO, etc.
nocturne galleon
A redditor told me that if I want to be an analyst, I ought to learn Python, but if I want to be an engineer I ought to learn C++, speaking generally.
Is that accurate, in broad strokes? @grand hornet
Pentesting analyst. I was told Python is used for pentesting, and also that Ruby would be valuable to learn for that, as itโs the framework for Metasploit.
Iโm really trying to figure out if I should change to security engineering classes instead.
I guess Iโm trying to figure out what path each leads to.
Iโve got my core classes and whatnot out of the way, but havenโt really started to go deeply into either.

I am searching for DE. As you all might know, College doesn't teach anything. I am done with Python. I just started learning it as my first language after the stupid QBASIC. I would obviously prefer free courses ```Can u pls reply by mentioning me. Like - @hybrid wolf
whole quail
How I learnt to program/comp science is by reading a lot and watching people talk about things then whenever I wanted to make something I just learnt whatever was needed to make it
But I started at a young age accidentally at first while also being told by family friends who were software engineers that I'd be really good at programming and worked out after the fact that I was starting to program. So it was sort of just reading heaps and being told for some reason I should do it and not knowing why.
Turned out well I guess
Just wanting to do something and doing it is how I've always learnt.
And reading.
Reading, reading, reading, reading, reading
Also listening to someone talk about something sorta counts as reading so do that to if it's easier
But mainly reading
If you can't learn through reading about things you're never going to get far, there's not always going to be someone teaching you how to do each different thing.

Anyone good at HW engineering?
I'm kinda confused if a tri-state buffer should contain one nMOS/pMOS, or a CMOS pair
small escarp
a tri state buffer is a logical gate, it is a mathematical abstraction
there are many ways to implement it, with one, two or many transistors
each implementation gives you a set of advantages and disadvantages and you should choose one according to the requirements of the project
(e.g. power, stability, complexity, ....)
CMOS topologies are a common choice because they have high input impedance, active drive, rail-to-rail swing, low power on fixed state and relative simplicity
nocturne galleon
So what is the best choice if I want to implement them in my side project which is a generic Intel x86 based CPU?
small escarp
you want to implement a CPU?
nocturne galleon
Trying to design one
small escarp
your best bet would be to use some FPGA and verilog
trying to do it by hand using transistors would make you mad xP
at least x86
nocturne galleon
I'm just drawing the schematics for now
And I'm thinking how to "define" the tri state on the transistor level
by hand, even though it would be an obsession, would be fun yet inefficient
by the way, is this the right channel for HW projects?

C is a pretty good "first" language
strange horizon
If you are not trying to learn object oriรซnted programming, sure
Otherwise i would recommend python for basic things and learning, and c# for actually developping something
small escarp
C is not a good first language, it exposes too much of the bare metal, e.g. beginners shouldn't be worrying about allocating memory, implementation details about string formatting (zero-end, want to output utf8 to say things in your language?, hahaha), aliasing such as in struct members, pointers, etc.
graceful silo
Java is pretty alright too
small escarp
I mean, people who have an inner drive to code will figure it out quite happily but trying to start in C is not the nice path, at least now that we have so much better languages xP
(read better as expressive)
- all the usual cruft of C from a time long gone such as awful macros and requiring one-pass declarations and headers
whole quail
If you want to program to learn, C is amazing
It let's you make mistakes
And let's you understand and play with many ideas
If you just want to have a skill to use then it's not really going to be useful enough for you at first
You won't get to do as many cool things and achieve as much
But if you want to learn then the learning process is amazing

note 7?
@hybrid wolf
Apps: Android: Java or Kotlin. IOS: Objective-C
Games: simple: Python; intermediate: C# (unity); advanced C/C++ (pick your engine, or make it yourself)
Each language has its own benifits and deficits, C is good for systems programming beacuse its basically high-level/crossplatform assembly. C alone is not a good choice for game devlopment. OpenGL/Vulkan/D3D are C APIs but that doesn't mean you have to use C.
note0: i know unity is a very capable game engine for advanced games, i was getting at the language not the engine
note1: Python, C#, and C/C++ are not the only languages you can use for game development (glares at minecraft), but the latter (not python) are popular ones.
as for C (and/or C++) as an early language.
Its hard, its confusing, its frustrating, and it seems simple. C and C++ are both old languages with a lot of baggage coming along with that. The C preprocessor is something no other language has, and thats a good thing. both languages make you rethink the way you were doing things (coming from Java/C#/other automatic pointer based OOP languages, or OOP in general for C). if you want to learn how a computer really works on a low level, then C is for you; if not, don't.
little knoll
Speaking of languages, I often recommand NodeJS with frameworks like VueJS or React with Electron (or equivalent) for multiplatform web apps. It's really powerful when you know how to work with this, because you only have one base code for every platforms (and sometimes you don't even need to create a native app with PWAs)

proper saddle
Yeah, I just googled and found a wikipedia article. ๐
hybrid wolf
lol
proper saddle
And according to it, you don't have to use extern, but for style reasons you probably should. Like how with ES5, or was it six? , you should be using let and const instead of var.
hybrid wolf
oh Okay! lol
proper saddle
Oh, extern, is importing the variable... I think, but I don't know anything about C.
@hybrid wolf no, thast why there is a /s
@proper saddle extern tells the compiler to not worry about that variables declaration, the linker will take care of it.
it is used for cross file global variable linking.
if you have two variables with the same name in two different .c files the compiler may mangle the name and not care, treating them as a seperate variable per file. to keep this from happening you use extern in a header with a regular definition in any .c (usually the same name) to define the variable.
its basically a function declaration, for variables.
technically, its the exact same mechansim beacuse cpp int main(){ // code }
is the same as
extern int (*main)();
// somewhere in funciton land
// note, the is c++ code, but the basic idea still applies.
int (*main)() = [](){
// code
}
Why not c++ instead of c?
hasty sail
@hybrid wolf C is the worst choice of them all. Unless you are working with some really specific embedded hardware C is a totally useless language
C++ is more like a useful language, but still not C#
and even then Java would be way better than C# to learn
there are way more resources to learn Java
timid widget
Java is a pretty language, but it doesnt have getters ffs...
you have to write .getProperty()
and obfuscate the class declaration with property getting methods rather than methods that act on an instance
hasty sail
It does have getters
they are just methods like other methods
if you don't want to write them yourself any modern IDE can generate them for you
timid widget
was more pointing out that there's no difference between a method that acts on an instance, and a method that gets a property unless you call it setX() or getX()
which im assuming the IDE does for you
hasty sail
and if you already know enough that you don't want to have these "default" getters and setters you can just use lombok
other than that, I would even recommend that @hybrid wolf starts with python
yes, it is a bit weird
but you will learn to programm without having to deal with learning syntax that much
civic mountain
python is a nice intro language

I still hate the white space formatting

basically you should first learn to program and then start to learn different languages and their "special features"
you should indent code in any language

What are your opinions on MonoGame, guys?
small escarp
it's a fine framework but note that xna (the original microsoft framework) died years ago.
I use it sometimes for simulations and things like that
for actual games unity is probably better nowadays
nocturne galleon
I mean I use monogame for actual games.
I've tried Unity, it's just too ugh for me honestly
I prefer MonoGame because it gives you the tools you need to do things like graphics, audio etc - and you can structure the game engine your own way
small escarp
for devs it's nice, but most of game development falls on the shoulders of visual designers these days, so the visual aspects of unity come in handy
although the monogame asset pipeline is decent, it's nowhere near the level of unity
nocturne galleon
Yeah, I use MonoGame because I do only 2D stuff
And my current project isn't really a conventional game
you basically interact with the world through a Linux-like operating system.
Sort of like Kingsway actually.
proper saddle
Are there any good free resources for unity? Because the official tutorials are kinda meh.
nocturne galleon
Haven't a clue. That's another reason I don't really like Unity. I find it funny how a lowlevel API like monogame is much easier to learn than a game engine like unity lol
You'd think it'd be harder, but there's just so much stuff in unity it overwhelms you
