hm, should use a css keylogger to enter the message instead, would be so much slicker (but also more complicated)

thanks for tagging me when I was expecting some help :(

Destruction 💯

[feral tide]

@rich cedar
I remember a kid at school making a calendar with alarms only using nested if statements. Not even a single "else" in the entire program.

[rich cedar]

:|

[feral tide]

Few months, and he had coded 5 years worth.
I walked over at that point, showed him how to do a 3d array, and he, I shit you not, crawled under the bench and cried.

Now my brother owns an internet café.
Wonderous world.

[rich cedar]

A friend of mine described a problem he had to solve, where he had to check that an ID was valid. He had a list of valid IDs, and was told to make the list easy to modify in the future. So he writes a Python script which generates a "minimal" switch tree, based on the valid IDs, which looked something like this:

 switch (id[0]) {
  case 'a': return false;
  case 'b': return false;
  case 'c': switch (id[1]) {
    case 'a': return false;
    case 'b': // ...
  }
  // ...
}

I introduced him to the concept of a binary search. He no longer speaks to me.

[feral tide]

just load the IDs into an array, and search the array for a match.

@last ingot
Some people don't like moving from what they know.

[inner wraith]

I regularly come across new ideas and realise "oh hey that thing I made would have been much easier if I'd known how to do this".

Sometimes I'll refactor everything to do it the new way and just watch half the codebase drop off.

[feral tide]

@inner wraith
The happiest I've ever been was when I found a 20 line snippet in a random pastebin that saved me literally 850 lines of code to do the same thing.

[rich cedar]

I did say I introduced him to a binary search, yes

[kind portal]

probably wont get an answer again but Im gonna bump my question from above

if you scroll up a bit I have a noob question about how to use Graphics in a KeyListener in Java

[cloud knot]

@kind portal you can have a final variable in the method outside the listener, which you can then access inside the listener.

@kind portal a random image from internet with similar listener problem. If in that code he would make final Boolean flag, then he could access it from inside the listener

hope that helps

or another 😃

[kind portal]

Thanks! will try later when Im home

[cloud knot]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_(Java)#Final_and_inner_classes relevant wikipedia article

alternatively you could instead make an actual class for the Listener, which would have a constructor, to which you send the required objects in advance

[kind portal]

Essentially, in a nutshell, what I want to do is call a method from a class that draws an oval when I press enter

What are constructors by the way? Could you ELI5 it?

And how would I send Graphics to it in advance?

[cloud knot]

once again. if you want to do it in one class, you do final Graphics g = ....; before the panel_Game.addKeyListener call, and then you can use the variable g inside the Listener

using a class is just an alternative, might be too complex for now ?

[kind portal]

Yeah the class thing is a bit complex

But I understand what you mean now! Thank you very much!

[kind portal]

in retrospect I dont really understand it now lmao

What do I put after final Graphics g = ?

[cloud knot]

wherever you were gettings the Graphics object from

[kind portal]

huh

No fucking clue to be honest

[cloud knot]

are you drawing on swing panel for example ?

[kind portal]

ye

[cloud knot]

then you do final Graphics g = panel.getGraphics();

[kind portal]

OOOOOOH

[cloud knot]

i guess at least

i haven't touched Swing for a decade

https://stackoverflow.com/a/15991175

might be a problem

[kind portal]

HOLY SHIT

it works holy fuck

Thank you so much

[cloud knot]

ok then 😃

no problem

i would recommend learning about classes, inner classes and visibility next

[kind portal]

Oh nevermind

Eclipse doesnt complain

but whenever I do run the app and press enter I get a fuck ton of exceptions

Ill just ask my teacher next week

[cloud knot]

ok

[kind portal]

But its at least one step closer

[kind portal]

Can I do final Graphics gx = panel.getGraphics(); in a different class?

that doesnt have the panel

[cloud knot]

as i said, i haven't touched Swing for over a decade, read the manuals/API documentation

[rich cedar]

Getting back into C for the first time in a while, anyone got any recommendations for projects?

[worthy bone]

Something you will use

[kind portal]

I tried that lol

Even asked a couple of classmates

[rich cedar]

@feral tide That script confuses me on so many levels

In the printX functions, why do you pass a string in ByVal, modify it, and return it? Why does that parameter exist at all? Why do those functions exist at all? Why not just pass the string directly? Why is there a Sleep instead of any actual work? Why are all your colons preceded by spaces? Why do you have that If File.Exists when File.AppendText creates the file if it doesn't already exist? Where does chatclient come from? Why do you String.Concat with a single parameter? Why does GetIpAddress use globals instead of just returning a value? Why do you return the 2nd IP address in the list you get from the DNS instead of the 1st? Why do you overcomplicate New TcpListener(portNo) by doing that whole roundabout with limiting it to listening for connection attempts against specific IP addresses, rather than just anything hitting that port, when it's supposed to be a port bug? Why do you try to autoguess the IP address to limit by?

It's fractal confusion! You did "doing "doing things weird" weird" weird!

[rich cedar]

@feral tide I need answers

[feral tide]

I'd love to answer them, but.. I really can't.
All I can do is provide more source code for chatclient at a later time. (Omw to work)

8 years, and significant coding advancement (including changing language a few times)

[rich cedar]

oh thank Christ that's old code

[rich cedar]

Found a project, by which I mean I had an idea: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1egLfpc1cfQkYcFVdU3S9I_FPLXO8sFgV8IY7SCyOFbA/edit

[winter salmon]

Just to know, you can't push anyone to give you answers. Not everyone has time to help out and if they do, respect that

[nocturne galleon]

What are some project ideas to learn cross compiling between windows and linux?

[round dome]

Anything that uses linux / nt kernels

[winter salmon]

^

Windows 10 will have lnx kernel soon so better halt that type of ideas and wait for this to come alive.

[winter salmon]

lol

[fallen vigil]

Would anyone be willing to take a look at this? https://stackoverflow.com/q/56106313/5871303

[rich cedar]

@nocturne galleon Build a CLI using only standard (hosted) C/C++, then use a VM to test if you cross-compiled correctly.

@winter salmon Er, no. The Windows Subsystem for Linux will soon emulate a full kernel. Windows itself will still be built on the Windows kernel.

[winter salmon]

ok

[odd cypress]

@fallen vigil The WebSocket-Code looks okay to me, but I think there's a problem with your way creating the video output. Maybe each Zero takes a different time loading the video from the sd-card, because they all have a different bandwidth. I don't have very much experience on omxplayer but I think there is a solution. You could try to start omxplayer paused (maybe cmd argument "--start-paused" works) and then send after a constant delay (after final loading) either an media button or other keys ("p" or "space" can be used) with an node.js library. Good luck! 😂

[fallen vigil]

@odd cypress thanks for the reply. All the Pis are running the same SD card and the same power cord/supply so there should be no hardware difference. They’re also all running the exact same OS image and package versions. I’ll try your suggestion later tonight when I have time to work on them again

[odd cypress]

np ;)

[feral tide]

@fallen vigil
If they're networked, broadcast a stream and get them to view it?

[fallen vigil]

@feral tide Well actually, they’re all playing different videos of PowerPoints used for digital signage. So each video is the same length with each slide being displayed for the same amount of time. The players being synced ensure that the transitions all happen at the same time and the videos loop at the same time.

Let me know if that explanation didn’t make sense

For testing purposes, all of the players are using the same video clip, I’ll be implementing the different videos in the code later

[fallen vigil]

@odd cypress It doesn’t look like that’s an option https://elinux.org/Omxplayer#Usage. Omxplayer was built for Raspberry Pi so I used it, but I’m not glued to it or anything. Do you have a different suggestion?

There’s also mplayer, I don’t know much about it though

[feral tide]

@fallen vigil stream per slideshow, bash script to start and stop at request?

[rich cedar]

jesus Christ is it just me or is Unreal Engine really fuckin unstable

[feral tide]

@rich cedar
You know what I don't like?
Companies that develop things like the unreal engine, then buy out smaller companies who are developing next gen engines, and literally liquidate the staff, and destroy virtually all the work and references once the purchase happens.

[rich cedar]

I don't like when I go to save a file and my IDE crashes

I don't like when I open a dialog and my engine crashes

I don't like when hover-text popping up crashes my engine

I don't like when I'm doing something and the engine just decides fuck it, time to crash

I don't like that Epic made a bazillion dollars off Fortnite but apparently they can't be arsed to put any of that money into UE4

[feral tide]

@rich cedar
I don't like how the Euclideon engine isn't public Access.

[vale maple]

@open otter I work with Java on daily bases. What's your problem?

where is the file in your workspace?

and first and probably easiest way to fix such problem is using the absolute path instead of relative.

interesting....
i will look at code in about 10 minutes properly as soon as i am at university bit there ain't any obvious mistakes i noticed

but general thing.
But the file reader into a bufferedReader

mhh, okay. i will look soon and come back to ya

nah, no problem. I like to help and java is sometimes really bitchy about small things. (( like all languages actually))

another thing about the code. The step of first getting the file is not actually needed.

But yeah, ehm soon there and then it should take about 5 minutes to resolve the problem. Just try to rest a little bit. Late night coding is stressful

I just now arrived and just opened my ide.^^

Nah, no problem. I need to wait anyways about 30 minutes till my first lesson for this day starts. ((actually it is a test about R as a language which I will solve without any problemss.... so yeah I have time))

nah, needed just to switch workspaces away... Some of my workspaces are a bit... ehm automated which makes things stressful for new not integrated code 😄

first your writer never gets closed in createMonsteFile which can become problematic

I would advise also to user the PrintWriter

        File monsterFile = new File("./monster_table.txt");
        PrintWriter writer;
        try {
            writer = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(monsterFile));
            writer.println("MonsterName HitPoints HitDamage");
            writer.println("Hydra 50 6");
            //and so on
            writer.flush();
            writer.close();
            System.out.println("Monster table successfully loaded.\n");
          
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("That's a pretty dank error mate.\nSeems as if you can't write your monster table.\n\nOuch.\n" + e);
        }
    }```

like this

makes the string more readable and println instead of \n works on every system 😄

yep it is in io

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.concurrent.ThreadLocalRandom;

public class Main {
    private final static String FILE_PATH = "monster_table.txt";
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
       
         File file = new File(FILE_PATH);
         if(!file.exists())
             createMonsterFile();
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(FILE_PATH));
        if(reader.readLine()!=null) {
            System.out.println("Was found");
            
        }
        
    }
    
    private static void createMonsterFile() {
        PrintWriter writer;
        try {
            writer = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(FILE_PATH));
            writer.println("MonsterName HitPoints HitDamage");
            writer.println("Hydra 50 6");
            //and so on
            writer.flush();
            writer.close();
            System.out.println("Monster table successfully loaded.\n");
          
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("That's a pretty dank error mate.\nSeems as if you can't write your monster table.\n\nOuch.\n" + e);
        }
    }
    }

I just took the "problem" part of the program

It works like this perfectly

one thing I noticed was that you looked for monster_table with file while your FileWriter created monster_table.txt

And another thing to know. The relative path usually starts outside of src.^^ ((I say usually cause there are werid systems.))

take ya time

Interesting

can ya send me the exception message and line?

mhhh, that would mean that the monster is not initialized anymore

well yep seems like that could be it^^

Yep, good luck.^^
I soon need to leave for about 4 hours because test and presentation but afterwards I should be able to help if there are any problems.^^
And it is a fun little program you created for yourself... Pen and Papers are fun :D
I did similar stuff or still do similar stuff from time to time.

((okay, this makes me sound way older than I am but pshhhtt.. ))

2 hour of R test and then a presentation about a program written in "REACT" which is a javascript package.

nah, i hate javascript and webDev is like the least interesting thing for me. At work I work at a complicated Product Information System with about 5k files... and in private usually with AI and weird microsystems... which makes that soo boooorrrriiiing...for me at least because I have a different field of interest

[lost creek]

the description of this channel insults me

[rich cedar]

yeah, it should be puts("talk about deving here")

[proper gale]

@rich cedar std::cout << "talk about stuff you found on stack overflow here" << std::endl;

[winter stag]

lmfao

[rich cedar]

@proper gale Was that supposed to be C++? There's not enough template metaprogramming.

[proper gale]

dont worry, i have plenty of that in my actual code

what is the longest line you have generated from a single macro?

my record is just over 11k characters.

[winter stag]

does anyone else here develop for the homebrew 3ds team

[proper gale]

for macros ive written ofc.

[winter stag]

from stack overflow right?

(:

[proper gale]

i wish

i dont even know what i would google for this

[winter stag]

just a little CTRL+C CTRL+V action

[proper gale]

i basically implemented reflection in C++, with templates.

[winter stag]

pfft, good luck m8

[proper gale]

oh, its already done

see here https://hastebin.com/eleduvujov.m

the normal types was the easy part

[winter stag]

its so messy

lmao

[proper gale]

also works for arbituary types, and vectors, and vectors of vectors of vectors of vectors.

[winter stag]

i love working with those vectors of vectors of vectors

why did you develop this?

for personal use?

[proper gale]

mhmm

[winter stag]

figures

Python or C++

[proper gale]

yes

[winter stag]

which do you think is more flexable

[proper gale]

depends

[winter stag]

without libs

[proper gale]

C++

[winter stag]

yeah python doesnt have too much to offer by itself

[proper gale]

here is teh whole header, that section is by far the messiest https://hastebin.com/bipubazibu.m

[winter stag]

is this for a bowling game?

[proper gale]

just a scoring system

[winter stag]

for a bowling game

[proper gale]

for bowling

actual, physical, bowling

[winter stag]

woah

[proper gale]

where you, in person, pick up a ball, and throw it at pins.

[winter stag]

yeah that going outside stuff doesnt exactly suite me

[proper gale]

pros: money
cons: need to get out of chair.

[winter stag]

lmao

so this was a contract?

or freelance work?

[proper gale]

im making my own system, and plan to sell it.

[winter stag]

umm

yeah ok

[proper gale]

this is overkill for what i actually need, by a lot

[winter stag]

dont you think you could develop something more useful, something that everybody would use everyday?

[proper gale]

its useful to me

i get lots of money from it.

[winter stag]

how much demand is there for bowling systems

[proper gale]

centers pay a lot for their systems

demand quanity is low

but, because of that, price is super high

average center spends $600,000 to $1,000,000 on a system every 20-25 years.

just for the initial purchase, depending on center size.

[winter stag]

so its a get rich quick scheme eh?

[proper gale]

not exactly

note the 20-25 years part

[winter stag]

yeah i see that

[proper gale]

you need to provide support for that time, and, only get that sale every 20-25 years.

[winter stag]

so you gonna develop this for 20 years?

[proper gale]

could be.

[winter stag]

all for what?

VR bowling to take over?

Idk man

[proper gale]

i mean, money

[winter stag]

just doesnt seeem right

[proper gale]

also, physics

[winter stag]

do you own a nintendo 3ds?

[proper gale]

nope

[winter stag]

Switch?

[proper gale]

nope

[winter stag]

PC master Race?

[proper gale]

1000000%

[winter stag]

wanna know how people make sidecash

develop some homebrew for any console that can be jailbroken, and add an adfly link to it

[proper gale]

side cash is great and all, how about center cash?

[winter stag]

invest what you can

long term, short term

10,000 can turn to 400,000 in just 20 years

[proper gale]

right, but i need to get that 10,000 in the first place

and, i need to live now aswell

[winter stag]

you can do in small payments

like everyone else

setup a retirement

[proper gale]

what are you trying to get at?

[winter stag]

investment is good

[proper gale]

im aware

[winter stag]

and there are alot of smart ways to do it

some in come in the form of free phone apps

[proper gale]

im trying to sell a product that i can make relatively easily, get a relative lot of money for, with long term minimal work.

[winter stag]

the app rounds every purchase you make upto a the nearest dollar, and invests what it used to round up

[proper gale]

i would need to sell it to on average one center every 2-3 years and i will be making plenty enough money.

based on average center size.

[winter stag]

so 3.59 round up to 4 thats 41 cents invested

or pents

or rupels

or whatever

i gtg

anyways try to have fun once in a while!

[rich cedar]

@proper gale I wrote a (very inefficient and not-full-featured, natch) compile-time regex parser with C++20's template features. I estimated that a simple Regex<"[Hh]ello,? [Ww]orld!{,2}"> "expanded" to the equivalent of about 7k of code, including whitespace.

[proper gale]

still 4k short

[rich cedar]

lol

lemme finish

Regex<...>.match("hello world"), on the other hand, expanded to about 20k.

again, metaphorical, etc., since there's no easy way to really "expand" template stuff -- I basically just guesstimated how much code it'd take to manually unroll the templates.

[proper gale]

mine is an actual measurement.

of a single line

[rich cedar]

I was talking about template metaprogramming in the first place ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That's the kind of nonsense I meant

Where it just gets wildly out of control and you feel like some part of this has to be illegal somehow

fun fact, btw, my implementation of +/* made it basically unusable, because of the strategy I used to match variable-length sequences. In retrospect, generating out every possible path it could follow down the NFA was a bad idea...

[proper gale]

.*

[rich cedar]

If I were doing it today I'm pretty sure all the code would be cleaner and faster to compile, if not much faster to run

[proper gale]

in reality, regex is best done at runtime

[rich cedar]

I mean, it can be useful to run it at compile-time. And if you give me a couple hours, I'm sure I could even come up with some extremely contrived examples of when.

but yeah it was mostly just for fun.

[proper gale]

yea, this is for production use.

or, at least, its indended for that

not just fucking around, i have an end goal in mind, and i want to sell it.

see above convo

[rich cedar]

Neat

I'm making a game which I plan to sell

and I've already published a bunch of open-source packages, not that there's been much interest in them lol

I'm not excited for the stage where I have to start polishing that game. I've found plenty of assets that'll work fine for testing, but I think I'll have to hire an artist or something, and I really don't want to spend money on a personal project lol

[proper gale]

luckily, i can sell this before i do the graphical part

well, the primary graphical part

[rich cedar]

I mean, with luck I'll be able to get my school to invest in this just based off the proof of concept

[proper gale]

i can do the secondary/backup graphics, and that is enough to sell it.

[rich cedar]

Which will be ugly, but show the gameplay

[proper gale]

then i can get someone to do fancy graphics.

[rich cedar]

and then they'll basically pay for the artist for me

[tardy pagoda]

Ooh wait I'm onto something hold up

[main root]

🤔

[rich cedar]

Uhh... That's concerning for multiple reasons.

Number one, that dev's family needs to stage an intervention to get them off whatever drug they're on. Or manager, as appropriate.

[proper gale]

@rich cedar its a joke

Anyone working with DotNet Core on Linux and have some suggestions for UI design libraries?

Really missing WinForms for bashing out quick utilities.

Please make my day and tell me there is a (at least somewhat similar) alternative. Thanks in advance.

Forgot to add I'm looking for other alternatives than using Mono.
The more I look, MonoDevelop seems to be the go-to. (I'm looking into it now)

[rich cedar]

@proper gale Considering I had a colleague who genuinely tried to convince me to implement that into a product used by millions of people to handle personal financial data...

@winged obsidian If you want to use C# on Linux, Mono is basically your only option. It does have a bunch of GUI toolkits -- I think it supports WinForms? https://www.mono-project.com/docs/gui/winforms/

looks like it's even source-compatible with the actual Microsoft WinForms, but I'm just reading their marketing copy

[winged obsidian]

@rich cedar thanks man, any advice helps. Dot Net Core is great for console apps and any non-WinForms/WPF solutions it seems. (When outside of Windows at least)

Hopefully they release an implementation for it in version 4 or 5
Rebranded .NET 5 has been announced without this (I believe)
Until then I guess I'm sticking with Mono

[rich cedar]

I'm not sure they ever will? I'm fairly certain .NET Core is targeting a different niche than Mono

.NET Core seems mostly targeted towards serverside stuff, so unless they change that I don't see them adding any GUI libraries

https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/21803#issuecomment-312714862

@winged obsidian There's also https://github.com/dotnet/winforms it looks like

[winged obsidian]

@rich cedar Thanks for the info

I'm really hoping they add GPU support to the Linux kernel running in Windows 10, that way I can just ditch this dual boot and have a single workflow.

That will solve all of my problems. Until then Mono should suffice and it looks like you are right that they are leaning this way.

[winged obsidian]

Anyone working with Ubuntu (I'm on 18.04) and know a way I can force gnome-shell to limit it's VRAM usage or disable hardware acceleration specifically for gnome-shell only?

I need just a tiny bit more VRAM on my GPU to push data through this network the the ideal size. (I'm talking like 100-200MB more)

I'm only running:
Xorg <- 196MiB
gnome-shell <- 460MiB
firefox <- only 11 MiB and mandatory as it is the front end for now

Again, thanks in advance for any info or suggestions.

[feral tide]

@winged obsidian
Should change to 18.10.
Gnome-shell uses JavaScript for random things, and 18.04 is known to have a few memory leaks in gnome-shell.

[inner wraith]

@winged obsidian I honestly suggest moving away from Gnome.

Is there an explicit requirement for it?

Like- do you need anything bar Firefox?

[rich cedar]

So, for a variety of reasons, I strongly dislike Unity. It's... fine, honestly, for prototyping, but it's missing a lot of the features I've gotten used to from Unreal.

Then I saw this job ad in my email

Now, I still strongly dislike Unity, but I'm also really fascinated by this. Why does Northrop Grumman want game programmers? Why Unity? How does C++ play into it at all?

I think I'm gonna submit my resume just so I can get more information...

[vestal glen]

simulator?

[rich cedar]

That's my assumption

Given NG's stuff, I'm assuming a flight sim of some kind

Ohh, then the C++ would be building a Unity plugin to correctly interpret the joystick/button input, and tilt the sim's cockpit, probably

[vestal glen]

or interfacing with their plane systems simulation or similar

[rich cedar]

Depends how it works, yeah

which I genuinely don't know, so

[kind portal]

Unity probably for flight sims yea.

Hi guys, I have a slight issue

This entire time Ive been making my app in Eclipse on my MacBook (Java)

I decided to write a bit on my main workstation at home too (Win10)

So I installed Eclipse and installed the same JDK (1.8). I imported the GitHub repo of the app and ran it to see if it works

It runs right, but when I try to do anything the visuals just break down

This is how it is supposed to look. It looks right when I run it

And this happens when I do anything: use arrow keys, press the button, etc.

These issues do not happen on my MacBook, what can this be?

[proper gale]

@kind portal better question, why are you using swing and not JFX?

in reality, check your item registration code, looks like you have something being registered twice

use the debugger, it will help you find it

[kind portal]

Im using Swing because thats the only thing I know and Ive been instructed to use for the assignment

Item registration code?

[proper gale]

so, when you get the JFrame and register the buttons, and ellipsed, and text boxes, etc.

check that code, its probably being run multiple times.

[kind portal]

Im not quite sure if I get what you mean, sorry :(

I have this line when the panel code runs

But it runs twice when I start the app

hmm

[proper gale]

and thats going to be where the problem origionates.

[kind portal]

Huh

Weird how it happens here and not on the macbook

[proper gale]

the OS windowing libraries can have different behavior, where the swing library can have things be implementation defined

so, chances are, that showing or not showing up, is implementation defined behavior.

probably, havent used swing in a few years, and the last time i did, i had the code for it generated for me (praize UI tools)

[kind portal]

same here

My code is generated by WindowBuilder

Im just not going to bother and code on the mac

[distant thicket]

I posted this in one of the other chats but this seems more likely to get ideas from people doing coding also

Im going into my Final year of University after summer, and doing an Honours project and Dissertation etc

So i kind of suck at coming up with ideas for projects etc, dont ask how ive got this far, but yh thought id ask in here for some ideas

Im doing Software Development at Uni so, Computing Related, topics obviously so it would be a project of building an application of some sort and researching the topic too, any suggestions would be appreciated, Im familiar with Web Dev in PHP etc, Java, Android, C#, id happily look at new languages too, if thats necessary with any ideas etc :)

My own topics in my head to develop an idea around are to do with some actual interests of mine, Football/Soccer 😄 (least likely) Security aspect of computing, Animal Welfare and Environmental shit, Areas i feel id have a proper interest in doing the research and putting alot of focus into completing very well in all aspects etc but any other ideas just to get my brain going would be appreciated :)

I also know that they likely give a list of ideas but most likely its Data management systems, and id like to find something ill have a strong interest in doing

Can tell me to get lost if you want xD 😂

How can I have 16% CPU usage fairly consistently and no load average?

[sturdy scaffold]

When the CPU usage is caused by rendering frames to the monitor, and it just so happens to use 16% of the CPU during the small monitor window that the Task Manager Samples the CPU usage at. Short bursts.

Real CPU usage will be displayed in the load averages.

[proper gale]

@inner wraith what 16% that its showing in the list, is 16% of one core, so for my CPU thats 1% usage.

[inner wraith]

Two ffmpeg entries.

[proper gale]

what about them?

[inner wraith]

Read about halfway down, 8% each :P

[proper gale]

what CPU is that running on?

[inner wraith]

T2.nano

So some Xeon

[proper gale]

how many threads?

[inner wraith]

2.5ghz, one shared core.

One thread.

[proper gale]

oh, what the fuck?

that should be 1:1 then

[inner wraith]

Exactly.

Thought it was kinda interesting.

It's not an issue, just weird.

[proper gale]

like, on my computer, ive got a 1700x, so when it shows 100%, i know thats 100% of one core.

[inner wraith]

Load averages generally indicate how much time is spent using or waiting to use a core by threads.

A load average of 1 means that the CPU averaged one thread needing CPU during that time period. So an average of 1 from consistent load on a single-core system would generally mean it was being maxed out and >1 means there were at least some periods where stuff had to wait, with 0.7 per core usually being the target.

So that makes this screenshot interesting. It should be at least CPU usage percentage or more.

@sturdy scaffold I reckon you might not be far off, though this is a music bot. ffmpeg feeds Discord a frame per connection every 20ms.

[sturdy scaffold]

Considering that windows task manager on its fastest setting only update about every 250ms, there is a lot of room for error, especially since the task manager has to take up less than 1% of the CPU in an optimal configuration.

[rich cedar]

@last ingot That's not a C++ thing, that's just a code thing

You'll discover the same thing if you try to read bad code, or code in any language you don't know

[nocturne galleon]

how come there are 2 websites for w3schools?
there's https://www.w3schools.com/ and https://www.w3schools.in/
are they the same organisation and one is for more advanced concepts? because if so, why are their logos very different

[rich cedar]

Looks totally unrelated to me

But given that W3Schools already stole their name from the W3C they're not affiliated with, I find it hard to pity them

[nocturne galleon]

So which of those two would you consider ‘reliable’ in terms of the information they give in their tutorials

[carmine hawk]

@nocturne galleon my college used w3schools.com to help teach me HTML and CSS.

@rich cedar look again

[shut grove]

I actually learned HTML, CSS & JS from w3schools lol

[main root]

learning html and css by trying something and just having someone that tells you a keyword to make it better but not more,thats how i learned it

[rich cedar]

@nocturne galleon The W3C literally invented the HTML/JS/CSS standards and is their maintaining group, so, uh, them?

W3Schools is notorious for constantly being bad, either by not mentioning important things or by just being wrong about stuff

[nocturne galleon]

So would I be ok to trust the information I get from either website?

[rich cedar]

@last ingot Whatever you say, murderer. It's fine for me to call you that, right? After all, even if you're not one, it's just human nature being wrong. Forget that I'm claiming something is true despite probably mounds of evidence to the contrary and literally no evidence for it. I'm just gonna say it's true, and if I'm wrong... Oops. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Except with W3Schools, they pretend to be affiliated with the standards body W3C, so it's actually more like I called you a murderer as a cop. And because until very recently W3Schools refused to correct any of its misinformation, let's extend the analogy by me refusing to ever admit I'm wrong and starting a public shaming campaign to ruin your life over it, as will happen to you if you blindly trust W3Schools to be right

MDN is far more accurate and some of the people who work on it are part of the W3C, in contrast to W3Schools.

And, when they're wrong, they actually correct it.

[deep scarab]

👀

[proper gale]

@last ingot C++ specific thing, you will need to watch for different object styles.

stack objects

heap objects

and stack object that hide heap objects.

i do that last one.

the main think is how acting on the objects does or doesnt change the state of other objects.

C++ doesnt have dictionaries

oh, ok.

[novel spear]

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/map

[novel spear]

python's dictionary is now an ordered dictionary too

as of 3.7 or 3.6 or something

[proper gale]

@novel spear while aware that exists, i completely forgot that the stdlib has that. everyone will be stupid every now and then

and, last i tried to use it, compiler gave me the finger for something something hash, not exactly sure

GCC is not

sense you are here, i dont need to ping you,
Mrmetech, i also know python, so im very aware of what a dictionary is.

oh, wait, i actually didnt know std::map was a thing, i was thinking of std::unordered_map, which does require a hashing function, and is still being a dick.

its gives you a horribly cryptic error message comapred to Clang

Clang is a drop in GCC replacement, for the most part

they help, but Clang gives much much better ones

same code

you can look at a bunch of examples here, https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/ClangDiagnosticsComparison

here https://easyaspi314.github.io/gcc-vs-clang.html

and, for me, CLion uses clang for static anaylsis, so its helpful to use the same compiler.

clang and GCC are written in completely different ways, they cant just switch like that

clang is an LLVM module, while GCC is a lot less separated.

ive had no problems with CLion clising windows.

also, you know it has remote development, right?

under toolchains, to the right of the name, dropdown, remote host.

thats how i write code for my raspberry pi

yea, this will do fily synch with sftp

[modern pivot]

Too bad CLion's Vim plugin is garbage

[proper gale]

using Vim

[silent eagle]

Hello , iam looking for Phyton/C++ developer(php and other are welcome too) ideally someone who have experience in windows developing or made plugins for Windows and MacOs based software.

[silent eagle]

It would be good if the person can also work on website backend.

Its not that complicated project, if there is interest i can write up what its for.

[vernal marsh]

VS code's python intellicode thingy takes 1:30 min to setup 😠... plus it used 1.5 to 2 gig ram

I am better off with Visual studio which also has intellicode (little worse) but uses less than 600mb ram

dissapointed 😕 and confused at the same time

[silent eagle]

Well, i need plugin for software (cinema4d) in Phyton/c++ and onther app on server for receiving and showing data from that plugin on website and android/ios app @last ingot

[rich cedar]

@silent eagle How much are you paying and what's the project?

[modern pivot]

wait what Python IntelliCode are you setting up @vernal marsh? In my experience, IntelliCode just works on VS Code

[silent eagle]

@rich cedar paymant is per project not per month. so i would like to get calculation for price based on more info what i would provide to interested people

as iam not programmer, i cant price such task 100%. but i have some number in mind since its realy single task( realy simple) program

[rich cedar]

so then what's the project

Although I'll admit I'm pleasantly surprised that you'd pay. You have no idea how many people demand free work.

[silent eagle]

i always try to pay as much as i can. give me sec. i will write whats the plugin will do.

[rich cedar]

I mean, yeah, you're doing it right, as far as I can tell. It's other people I'm complaining about, who think that just because I'm a programmer, I'll want to get into the ground level of their Facebook knockoff for "exposure"

[silent eagle]

iam designer so i have experience in that exposure payment industry 😄

[rich cedar]

Oof

https://theoatmeal.com/comics/exposure

[silent eagle]

So
Iam working on Cinema 4D plugin.
This plug simply need to read value from render engine ( time,frames etc.) and send it to server where its displayed in online app ( also showed in mobile app. what woud probably just show site )

Extra for later version is frame grabber. what would load last rendered frame from folder.
@rich cedar

the hard part for the person is to study ( well documented) documents from Maxon

to find the way to load it 😄 thankfully Maxon made lot of documents how things work plus they have support team for devs

[silent eagle]

anyone who would be interested in working with me, feel free to PM me. looking for longer term colab. on multiple projects

[rich cedar]

ah so you're basically trying to make a remote progress tracker?

[silent eagle]

you could say that

it is to track progress of rendering yes

with alarm maybe when its done

or well if its stops

build in guarddog

[rich cedar]

Sounds neat!

[silent eagle]

it does 😄 but iam lacking menpower 😄

[rich cedar]

Honestly it sounds like a good excuse to learn C++

[silent eagle]

i cant learn programing for shit

😄

i only do art

i would like to do all that myself 😄 but until i would learn C++ and Phyton i would be 80 😄

i have too many stuff on my hands having that on my mind would be too much

so i just want to find someone to work with

well web/app designs, and 3D, but in general i can do anything

downforpixel.com
and https://www.instagram.com/downforpixel/

[proper gale]

@silent eagle single task( realy simple) program never make this assumption, it is never correct.

anyway, i know python and C++ both, but everyone wants to get paid, soooo, do you have any idea what you woudl be paying?

[vernal marsh]

@modern pivot it's the Microsoft one... In visual studio... It's available for both vs and vs code

[modern pivot]

Huh, never had a problem with that one

[vernal marsh]

Really... How much ram does it use in your pc... VS code

With intellicode enabled

And python extension

@modern pivot

[modern pivot]

~200 MB

[vernal marsh]

Do you use numpy and tensorflow

And other ml stuff?

[modern pivot]

Not daily, no

[vernal marsh]

OOO... It seems like its analysing 4000 numpy and tensorflow files for autocomplete and type definition

[modern pivot]

Sounds like a configuration issue, maybe you shouldn’t scan all the files?

[silent eagle]

@proper gale hi if you wanna talk i send you pm

[proper gale]

no, its not.

but, if someone wants soemthing done, and will pay enough for it, i will take their money.

[silent eagle]

Thats called a job

[vernal marsh]

Anyone has any Idea why is this throwing me this exception

I am not really sure what it means by incorrect format

[modern pivot]

@vernal marsh 0x8007000B is bad format DLL, make sure you're compiling the DLL correctly

Make sure you're building for the right architecture (x86 vs x64)

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-erref/0642cb2f-2075-4469-918c-4441e69c548a

[vernal marsh]

I think this is good... I have tried different combinations.. but doesn't seem to work out @modern pivot

[modern pivot]

Have you looked through all the potential causes here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.badimageformatexception?view=netframework-4.8

@vernal marsh A traceback of what happens during compilation would be helpful

[vernal marsh]

sure.. first let me just go through all causes, and tweak things, I did a little before but I definitely didn't reach the end of the article

THAT one specifically

@modern pivot would you like to take a look at my code at kernel.cu ... I can turn on live session

[modern pivot]

I doubt it's a problem with the CUDA kernel

that being said, I'm not super familiar with DLL compilation, so I'm not sure I'll be much help on that part

[vernal marsh]

I still can't relate any problem given in that article with my issue... I also think that its just compilation issue... but like what? I have also never compiled a cuda type for c#.. pure c++ ones just

[vernal marsh]

@modern pivot got it... it was just a tick mark stating... prefer 32bit (x86) 😡

[modern pivot]

lol

[vernal marsh]

for the CS side.. no problem on cpp side

I spent 4 hours figuring this out ... turns out smashing buttong is best chance lol

@carmine hawk https://validator.w3.org/nu/#textarea

Or, if you're lazy, here's a hint: What's in the <table>?

[carmine hawk]

@rich cedar Or, if you want to be helpful, tell me what is wrong.

[rich cedar]

@carmine hawk Learning how to spot typos like this will help you far more in the long run.

And unless you're paying me, I see no particular reason to handhold you to the solution.

For being entitled, you can get the special rate. $150 an hour, 3 hour minimum.

[carmine hawk]

If you're reffering to the misplaced <tr> that doesn't seem to be the problem. I fixed it but didn't find it necessary to repost a whole screen of code just for a one line change

[rich cedar]

Try running your code through the validator.

[carmine hawk]

I did

Still did not solve problem

[rich cedar]

Seems like the issue isn't in the HTML, then

I'd assumed you'd already narrowed it down to that, since that's the part you posted

[carmine hawk]

And I assumed that people wouldn't like it if I posted 3 screens of code just to cover my HTML, CSS, and JS

[rich cedar]

Okay, serious tip: https://gist.github.com/

You can post multiple files with their own names, download the lot as a bunch, makes it easy to share code around

Fair point, people -- aka me -- probably wouldn't appreciate you dumping the whole chunk of code

Equally serious tip: https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example

Whenever you want to ask for help, start by making one of those. It's a pain in the *ss at first, but eventually you'll either find the bug on your own, or isolate a code snippet that represents the key thing you're actually getting wrong, which will help you recognize the pattern in the future.

And as you get better at actually making MCVEs, you'll start to be able to do it "in your head", and isolate where the bug is coming from basically by examining the code. Makes bugfixing way easier if you can point to line 384 and ask, "Is this fopen not creating the logfile?" as opposed to "Is something in this massive chunk of code not creating the logfile?"

Apologies for being short with you earlier; I regularly forget that no one teaches this shit

[carmine hawk]

Thank you so much! I think I fixed it! One of the most helpful lines I read from one of your links was, "The problem might not be in the code that you think it is in."

[rich cedar]

Eyyy glad it turned out to be a teachable moment

quick poll: How do y'all pronounce "*" (e.g. when reading out a command line like rm *.o)

quick followup poll: how do y'all pronounce *nix

[obsidian ore]

on its own I call it asterisk, in smth like the rm example I call it a wildcard, and just nix

[vestal glen]

star - and yeah, just nix

[rich cedar]

I'm the same as freak, I call it "star" unless someone doesn't know what I mean by that, and just "nix"

but someone recently said "star-nix" in conversation with me and that sounds way cooler

[modern pivot]

I have never felt the need to say either "rm *.o" or "*nix" IRL

if I needed to describe them over voice, they would probably be "rm all .o" and "Unix-like"

[rich cedar]

I was thinking more if you were spelling the command out for someone to write

[proper gale]

@rich cedar asterisk and Unix, yes i straight up just say unix even if its not exactly unix.

A friend of mine is a pentester at a pretty big company. He just sent around a phishing scam to make sure people can spot them, and his boss failed.

Friend: You need to be more careful about what you click on!
Boss: But it came from your email account. Why wouldn't I trust it?
Friend: Because my account might have been compromised, and even if it wasn't, they can still fake which account it looks like it came from. You need to look at the email itself.
Boss: But it turned out fine this time, right? So what's the big deal?

@rich cedar What kind of stuff do you work with / specialize in outside of work?

[rich cedar]

oh boy lots of stuff

I've been poking at a game -- a kinda depressing FPS where you fight as part of a guerilla resistance, which I'm trying to make realistic while keeping it fun

Right now it's mostly at the "figure out what I want this game to be" stage, with some mild prototyping to teach myself Unreal Engine 4

I'm also seeing if I can use my cheap SDR and RPi to build a stereo

At first it's just gonna be play/seek forward/seek backward, but I'm building it so I can pretty easily add remembering stations, playing from USB, maybe even ~fancy stuff~ like connecting to WiFi and playing from the internet

why does microsoft call QWORDs DWORD64

[fallen vigil]

Does anyone know of an open-source GNTP server/receiver for Node.js?

[rich cedar]

@round dome Because they took DWORD, then needed a 64-bit version

[round dome]

a DWORD is 32 bits a QWORD is 64

guess they also have QWORD, I don't understand why they would have the need for DWORD64 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/winprog/windows-data-types

ngl I love my job but I kinda hate that I can't talk about it

The onboarding, aside from a meh first day, has been great, and the team is just genuinely fun to be part of

But I can't even say what type of coding I'm doing or what languages I'm working in

I literally can't even give a fake example of something I can't say because that would reveal too much

[bleak summit]

For not being able to talk about it. You sure talk about it a lot. opsec my dude. There are now however many people in here who now know that you are most likely a juicy target working with some kind of security-clearance-required DOD or other sensitive work.

These people would not have known this if you hadn't done all of this blabbing.

smh

@rich cedar

[rich cedar]

lol

You'd be right if you weren't wrong

[bleak summit]

Do you have a security clearance? It is not a violation for someone with a security clearance to say "I have a security clearance"

[rich cedar]

Security clearances just don't play into it

[bleak summit]

Based on what you have said. You are either lying or have a security clearance.

You mentioned that if you talked about the stuff. You could possibly be charged with treason.

There isn't a single thing in this context that could land you with treason charges without having a security clearance

[rich cedar]

...it was a joke

So, sure, call it a lie if you want lol

Clearly a bad joke, if it didn't even come off as one

[bleak summit]

I have a hard time believing it's a joke given the other things you were saying about the high level of secrecy of the work

point is. You are leaking info. You won't admit it to me but you do see it.

stop talking

this is srs

we will drop it here.

[rich cedar]

But I'm only leaking information I'm allowed to

well, "leaking"

[bleak summit]

Yeah, see how bad this got lol

[rich cedar]

insofar as it's a "leak" to say what I'm allowed to say about my job

Which is that it's very hush-hush, I do code stuff

[novel spear]

@rich cedar you are allowed to tell people you have security clearance, security clearance is common and does not give you access to information it just lets you access the stuff you need to access for your job on a need to know basis

that being said, often people who work at places such as three letter agencies will not go telling people they work there lest they become a blackmail target

but the same applies to like, people working R&D jobs

[kind portal]

@rich cedar To be honest you should just not talk about it at all. It's much safer for you that way.

I'm done talking about it anyway

I'm tired of people who know literally nothing about it telling me what they assume is correct

Despite, obviously, having no idea

[kind portal]

I'm not assuming anything, I just think it's a better idea that you don't talk about it.

[rich cedar]

I mean I wasn't talking about you

[kind portal]

I get it

[rich cedar]

You aren't flatly stating that I'm not allowed to say things I've explicitly been told are okay to say.

I agree, not talking about it would be safer, but I'd rather vent vaguely than accidentally let something slip because I'm frustrated

anyone know anything about installing klasa for discord bot creation?
everytime i go to install, regardless of where it is, i get these errors

klasa documentation says nothing about where to install, so i assume it doesnt matter
nor does it say anything else about installing other than run the command

[nocturne galleon]

‘Undefined’ plus git arguments usually indicates git isn’t installed in PATH

I’d check your git install.

@nocturne galleon thank you, that was the issue

@tepid zephyr can you describe your situation a bit, sounds fairly unsafe

[tepid zephyr]

@tepid perch basically one of the tasks for a final web app project is to disable /private directory inside project directory with .htaccess and .htpasswd, but no matter how i configure the file it just doesn't pop-up the login promopt

[tepid perch]

Dear God do not use that

[tepid zephyr]

it's literally a requirement in a project lmao

[inner wraith]

requirement in the project ouch. I hate the stupid, out-of-touch crap I've seen in assignments over the years.

I remember doing software design and development in high school. Visual Basic and "standardised pseudocode", because that makes sense.

Oh yes. We had to do IEEE 754 by hand in the final exam.

As one does as a programmer.

Basically. It stops being pseudocode at that point.

By hand in an exam? High-school level?

Also bubble+insertion sort.

The curriculum for that subject was mostly written 16-odd years ago at a minimum.

Teaching it in the form it was written and targeting students who are new to programming is just a bit BS. Nothing like what any programmer would be expected to do in the field.

I'm totally fine with this kind of content in a software-oriented uni course as long as they updated it so they didn't mandate VS 2008.

Not first year, maybe 2nd or 3rd.

I'm just a boring old IT networking student, YMMV. Intro to Python/NodeJS, basic database stuff, a bit of project management and communications (the between-people kind)? Then dig into algorithms, some useful maths and the like.

Practical stuff is good.

[inner wraith]

You don't need to have an advanced understanding of algorithms to be a reasonably effective programmer. I think that getting them into the habit of writing good, clean code in something, getting them to communicate with their peers better, and showing them how to manage a project is if anything more useful of a start.

Then you go off into the more advanced stuff.

That way even if they drop out they can use what they have learned to make something of themselves.

Had a startup interview me and a bunch of software dev uni students accross Australia. Apparently I was the only one to know what Git or any other version/source control software was.

That's absurd.

Git or something like it should be day one if possible.

I'd say that an intro to Linux course wouldn't be a terrible idea in a software dev degree either.

I had to sit through an intro to Windows 10 in second year, but the content covered features from 98 and even some that were removed.

Most uni students I know have never touched anything bar Windows.

GPLv2 doesn't really hurt deployment of Linux much on devices, it's v3 that makes deployment harder.

Plus support and getting some kind of GUI up is much easier, and the shell and utils are mostly identical.

GPLv2 from a Linux perspective covers changes to Linux itself made by you. Not your own stuff shipped alongside it.

Not anything that deals with the kernel, though you have a point.

I've torn down a lot of devices and haven't seen anything bar embedded Linux so far, BSD-only anti-GPLv2 environments strike me as rare.

Apple, yes.

Not a ton of other current scenarios or participating companies rise to mind.

TBF the China specials' just violate the GPL and don't care, so Linux is of no consequence to them.

Same for most big companies.

Switch is FreeBSD apparently. Fair.

Also on BSD networking being superior. There's exciting new stuff going on there for both sides with DPDK, but Linux driver support is better.

PF itself has upsides and downsides, most of which I do not pretend to know.

Anyways, it's late and I must be off. Nice chat.

[proper gale]

@dapper laurel "here's a language and how to write hello world, now you're on your own - use the documentation, we've got actual shit to learn" this is fine if they already know another language, but terrible if you dont already have at least one that you can use.

[proper gale]

no, but you will already have something to build on in the real world

also, just because it was small intro then newton's method doesnt mean that the teacher didn't design what things you were doing specificly so that you get the same things just, you learn them by doing not by lecture.

[proper gale]

so did i, doesnt mean that i recommend jumping in the deep end.

[tepid zephyr]

@inner wraith yeah and it seems it's their side that they fked up, as i can't access to root directory and change some settings for it to work. so i'm basically losing points on final project at uni because they're inacpable.

not to mention our database presentations were from '97. i mean 1NF, 2NF, 3NF and theory stuff like that doesn't change but it's just goes to show how any means of classical education can't teach you to write modern code.

@fierce quest just for a sake of mind, how much of floatplane's backend is written in php?

Found a registry key named startupsound or something while adjusting a few settings in a fresh Windows 10 install. Enabled it and rebooted. The Windows 10 startup sound is STILL the Windows 7 bootup sound!

The key is in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\BootAnimation and it's named DisableStartupSound. Set it to 0, then reboot for Windows 7 throwbacks 😉

[vernal marsh]

Lol Nice... But isn't it changeable in control panel? @tropic grail

Setting was written as _"startup sound" _

Is the a registry key to stop updates until I want to actually restart my computer

@vernal marsh doesn't work on newer installs.

@alpine talon there's a policy for not installing until you approve the update, but not sure of the key. Set your inactive hours to like 2-8am or something.

Is 16GB a good amount of ram for a programming orientated laptop?

[proper gale]

@native shoal no, 32

@last ingot ok?

[odd cypress]

@native shoal Which IDE are you using and how big are your projects?

[native shoal]

@proper gale @odd cypress It's for a friend but I think he mentioned maybe some Java and visual studio for intro projects. Nothing major right now

He's starting college

[odd cypress]

I'm completely satisfied with 8 GB on my laptop and I'm using VS and VSCode too, so 16 GB should be totally enough.

Most of the time my IDE only consumes 2-3 GB.

[native shoal]

Oh good. He was eyeing an XPS 15 that had 8GB

[odd cypress]

And if he finds out one day, 8GB are not enough, he can (probably) easily upgrade the ram.

[inner wraith]

@native shoal 16GB suits me well enough, but it'd depend absolutely on the OS, IDE/s, workloads...

Definitely go for a machine that can grow a bit if you need it to (more RAM, more disk, yada yada).

8GB's a bit low IMO for Windows + VS.

[native shoal]

Alright. thanks for the insight

Howdy Anyone got any ideas where to find a memory editing program for editing flash memory Looking for something to edit a bios chip with i already have the aligator clip with the board for editing the memory of the chip

Just looking for a good flash memory editing program

Previous owner of this board i got for 2 dollars flashed the bios wrong and im gonna reflash it to factory default with the memory editor

[tropic grail]

If it's a winbond chip, it might be as simple as popping it into an identical working board while it's booted and flashing it while the system is online. Otherwise enjoy looking for an RPi or arduino flash encoder.

The other option is to check and see if the board has a fix-if-corrupt option for the bios. Some boards do.

[vast palm]

I already have the flash encoder with an aligator clip just was looking for a program for editing the flash memory with

lmao I have heavily underestimated how long this would take me. for our CS class we have to draw a story board to show what each window and tab will look like in our program and it has taken waaay longer than I thought, im already behind and it got graded already so my grade average got oofed

[nocturne galleon]

unfortunately we have to draw the story board for two alternative designs of the software we are creating then run them against criteria that we create, then program the one we decide is the best

do you guys think it's possible to learn angularjs and nodejs in 2 days? 🤔
im a fast learner buuut i think its going to be not enough time 👀

[ionic hull]

No

@main root

[main root]

I'll see how far i get with exercises and nodejs that weekend 👀

because i really really need nodejs 🤔

[novel spear]

if you already know js its very easy to learn those two in two days in terms of enough to make something quickly

but there are likely best practices and design and special features and tooling in the api which will be missed

only if you are good at reading api docs, inferring a lot of stuff, and guessing

assuming you already know js, and are familiar with event driven design on the node side and data binding and good frontend dev practices already on the angular side

and are okay with making a pile of code which technically works but is not maintainable (be ready to code the whole thing again in 2 weeks when it blows up)

and html

like if I used the phrase "dependency injection" would you know what that means

[vivid temple]

@nocturne galleon still need help?

[hearty shadow]

Hello 👋

Anyone in here willing to help me with docker-compose?

Basically the situation is;
I have a few containers: apiserver, appserver, mongodb, mongopanel.
We can ignore mongodb and mongopanel.

I have two docker-compose files (setups) - development and production version.
When in dev, both containers have mounted volumes from host OS;

• appserver has the ./app mounted to /var/server
• apiserver has the ./api mounted to /var/server

'till here everything works just fine.

But the production setup... ...this one doesn't have any extra volumes.
Everything sounds about right... until I start the containers and apparently both containers (apiserver and appserver) run the same commands (script from package.json file) even though the actual files in ./app/package.json and ./api/package.json files are totally different (one for frontend and other one for backend).

Basically - the problem is that for some reason, files that should be copied from ./app to appserver and also copied to apiserver (and reverse)

The file scrtucture is something like this:

api/
\_ src/
\_ package.json
\_ yarn.lock
\_ dockerfile
app/
\_ src/
\_ package.json
\_ yarn.lock
\_ dockerfile
docker-compose.dev.yml
docker-compose.prod.yml

Please tag me if you reply.

[vivid temple]

@nocturne galleon what's the issue you're having with the catch-all entry?

[tropic grail]

@hearty shadow docker is notoriously insecure lately.

Also your dockerfile would be the one telling it where to copy from. If that same dockerfile sets both up, there's your culprit. Use separate dockerfiles.

[hearty shadow]

thanks for taking your time.
That's why I am so confused - I am using two separate files, each in itown directory, etc... I can not find the reason why it would not work as it's supposed to :/

[tropic grail]

Do you specifically specify ./app/dockerfile and ./api/dockerfile? Check for typos.

[hearty shadow]

The dockerfiles are correctly read.

Because the package.json and yarn.lock are correctly copied and modules are correctly installed.

The issue occures later on when the containers are started up
As mentioned above (even though very briefly) - when in development mode, everything loads up just right. Well better said when volumes are mounted from the host OS' filesystem.

but when the setup is running in production mode (no volumes mounted) the startup is somehow messed up and both containers start from the same image or something...
I don't know man - I'm giving up on this shit to be honest. I'll probably just remake the whole thing tomorrow.

(not the app. The "wrapper" layer - docker setup, etc..)

[hearty shadow]

working with userChrome.css

used '-webkit-transform: perspective(100px) rotateX(30deg) !important;' is there a way to add antialiasing to make the lines look smoother?

[vestal glen]

o.O -webkit-transform? Why not just transform?

but uh, iirc the best way to get slanted sides is to use an svg (you can data: URI it)

[nocturne galleon]

;-; well, im still new to css n all ^^

[vestal glen]

"-webkit" is a so called vendor prefix, it's an older practice where browser makers would prefix the features that weren't standardized yet with their own prefix.

these days you should rarely need to use a vendor prefix, especially not a webkit one in gecko/moz specific code...

either way, I wouldn't be surprised if you can't get good AA on tabs using transforms, due to how and where they're drawn.

The old "rounded" tabs used svgs, too

[nocturne galleon]

ah i see, maybe i should look into modern css programming like websites n all before i jump the gun into trying to redesign my browser 0.o

[vestal glen]

well, firefox's UI is also its own esoteric version of how you use css

(XUL and not HTML, which uses different layout rules, even though it uses CSS...)

so you'll need a different "css knowledge" either way

[visual oasis]

ok so im reading a old html book to teach myself im stuck on understanding what <code></code> does at what its used for

[ember kiln]

By default <code> uses a monospace font (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/code) , and semantically indicates that the contents represents a code snippet. For example, if Discord is being compliant then stuff in single backticks will be wrapped in a <code> tag

[novel spear]

there are many elements in modern html you will find are mostly semantic. The semantic usage of html elements allows for easier themeing, easier processing for search engines or reformatting, and much better screen reader functionality

[visual oasis]

ok thank you

[tropic grail]

Just realized the manager role is a trippy shade of purple, lol.

[inner wraith]

if Discord is being compliant then stuff in single backticks will be wrapped in a <code class="inline">&lt;code&gt;</code> tag

@ember kiln Seems so.

@vernal marsh no I'm trying to make a PR to something related to the bot, but GitHub apparently has a new bug that it won't push.

[nocturne galleon]

🤔 I think something is wrong can someone help me design a bit better

[novel spear]

@nocturne galleon use text sizes changes to indicate a change in importance or context rather tahn willy nilly

same with text color changes

you have a heading thats blue then you have a number thats blue

be consistent

also you might have a better time by putting the avatar circle stuff in the top left or right or very bototm, not middle

also if account settings is a button, make it look different from "xtreme ultimate"

I would also try to equal height yoru dashboards

thats all the advice I have for now

oh and for how unimportant it is the avatar dashboard square is really big

its the biggest one

if you want it to be big maybe avatar as one column, then the three at the top stack those as a second column, then the rest as a third column

[nocturne galleon]

Good idea ty

[nocturne galleon]

i hate ui programming

WTF

now python is giving me an error for code i commented out

[novel spear]

How did you comment it

Did you use quotes or did you use number sign

Quotes still parse. Number signs do not

Otherwise did you execute a file different from the one you are editing and not notice

[nocturne galleon]

why does PyQt5 not show my window icon? it's in the same path and everything but when I tell the program to use it it just uses the default window icon

[novel spear]

give it the full path, use setWindowIcon, wrap it in a QIcon

so like setWindowIcon(QIcon(fullPath))

full path being like C:\

you can use the python libraries to convert a relative path to a full path

[nocturne galleon]

hmm, still doesn't want to work

oh well, it's not really important for now,

[nocturne galleon]

does anyone know how to make a table in PyQt5 the minimum size it needs to be? as you can see this table takes up basically the whole window when it doesn't need to

[ancient cave]

With all due respect, have you tried looking at documentation? I find that reading documentation helps a lot.

[novel spear]

Be sure you understand what layouts are

Check the docs

Also its possible your icon is just a format that doesnt work for window icons

Again check the docs to be sure. Check the qt docs rather than pyqt itself they are basically the same one just wraps the other

But rather well documented

[nocturne galleon]

quick question in terms of programming; to get gud habit of programming in an industry standard is it okay to write big one line codes? when u could have split it up?

example:
ListBox2.Items.Add(TextBox1.Text & CheckedListBox1.CheckedItems(i).ToString.Remove(0, CheckedListBox1.CheckedItems(i).ToString.LastIndexOf("/") + 1) & " -- (" & (CheckedListBox1.CheckedItems(i).ToString.Substring(CheckedListBox1.CheckedItems(i).ToString.LastIndexOf("/") + 1) & TextBox1.Text & CheckedListBox1.CheckedItems(i).ToString.Remove(0, CheckedListBox1.CheckedItems(i).ToString.LastIndexOf("/"))) & ")")

[novel spear]

I a code review i would say the following things

Use a variable for checklistbox1.checkeditems(i)

And

Use a string format statement for readability with the individual substrings broken into named variables

But the length isnt the issue the issue is the readability and maintainability

Named variables are easier to read and repetitive access to the checkeditems(i) is a maintainability and readability issue

because like even TextBox1.Text & checkedItem.Remove(0, checkedItem.LastIndexOf("/") + 1) & " -- (" & (checkedItem.Substring(checkedItem.LastIndexOf("/") + 1) & TextBox1.Text & checkedItem.Remove(0, checkedItem.LastIndexOf("/"))) & ")"

is unreadable, I have no idea what that is doing

I would also suggest that there should not be so much manipulation happening inside the gui code. Like thats the kind of thing that should happen outside your gui code

like I think maybe thats path manipulation?

something like "{command} {fullpath} {filename}" is way more readable you know?

yeh i see what u mean, if i was using alot more different objects id have renamed them

but because its only 3, internally i know what im on about,

if it was a group project or some sort i know in the industry its best to always* name what each thing is

so as said, someone who has no idea and has never seen the code understands whats goin on

hmm for second part i guess ill rework the code to grab the file name with a function when u drag the file into the program, make it tad easier and cleaner,

[nocturne galleon]

the docs are a bit hard to understand because i use python and it looks like they use c++ in examples

[proper gale]

@nocturne galleon considering that qt is a c++ library, I would expect that.

Church for pyqt docs specifically

[nocturne galleon]

I can still somewhat follow it, but if I can find docs on pyqt that are actually helpful I use them

[nocturne galleon]

bruh
TypeError: addWidget(self, QWidget): first argument of unbound method must have type 'QStackedWidget'

[novel spear]

Be sure you dont call a function on a class call it on an instance.

It looks like you did QStackedWidget.addWidget

Pyqt assumes you understand qt so you should read both docs.

@nocturne galleon you may think that but wait until you step away from code for a month or years then come back to it

[sacred shuttle]

So I have this EJS file, but the document.write part isn't working correctly. Any idea why?
https://hastebin.com/akokoxifir.js

Ping me if you know what the issue is

[novel spear]

are there any errors in the console

I assume its because you used "let" which is not globally scloped

scoped

let icons = []</script> I think makes icons go out of scope

but your console should have an error, if not make it console.log(icons) and check if its just undefined

[novel spear]

@sacred shuttle I will note its a very unusual pattern to use templating for the html along with repeating scripts rather than just templating some initial seed data for a script to consume

but thats not why its broken

[sacred shuttle]

Icons is populated

Same for names and servers

@novel spear

[cloud jay]

welp need help, so this line of code as highlighted has an issue that says date does not exist in context. not sure what to add into the code

[sacred shuttle]

Also I need to have these script tags since in every ejs thing it needs a own script block

[nocturne galleon]

@cloud jay well, you aren't assigning anything to date or time.

And I would not use string interpolation for that. Use parameters: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.data.sqlclient.sqlcommand.parameters?view=netframework-4.8

[cloud jay]

yeah but I want to figure out what to put after date =

[nocturne galleon]

@cloud jay What is it you are trying to do here?

[nocturne galleon]

Because it seems to me that you can cut out all the select and iterate through the results stuff and just run a delete command.

[limpid reef]

Sorry, I have Windows only. Best to write apps so they're cross platform compatible.

[ionic hull]

@limpid reef sometimes apple ecosystem users give all them monies

[limpid reef]

Yup, sadly, this is too true, but it's also the reason I'll never be able to use apps like Notability because it's not cross platform compatible... which kind of defeats the purpose for some types of apps.

[tropic grail]

@nocturne galleon don't post shady things k thx.

[nocturne galleon]

@tropic grail ok

[proper gale]

@limpid reef i write some stuff linux specific, but not because im trying to not support windows, but because it doesnt need to, and im too lazy to support it with something that will never be run on windows.

in general though, cross platform FTFW!

[limpid reef]

Totally understandable - I mean, technically if you're really just trying to do one thing for a niche project or smaller community, writing for the OS you use makes total sense.

[waxen leaf]

Any linux heads around?

I'm getting so annoyed :/

I'm working on a cron job, to check and recover ark files if required. I need to get the biggest filesize of .ark files and if .TheIsland.ark file is smaller it'll auto backup and copy over the biggest size. Now while I have this working out side of crontab one part of the script fails. Which is: actualmap=$(find $PWD -type f -printf '%p\n' -name "*.ark"| sort -nr | head -1)

If I remove the \n it actually works but then it cant sort between them as it's not in seperate lines.

Any ideas on a workaround.

The output I get on cron job with \n is:/srv/daemon-data/da4aaa1b-0ce9-46d2-bd60-5f599cc089ae/ShooterGame/Saved/recovery.sh (which is the recovery script)
The same line of code ran in terminal produces the correct output of: /srv/daemon-data/da4aaa1b-0ce9-46d2-bd60-5f599cc089ae/ShooterGame/Saved/SavedArks/TheIsland_NewLaunchBackup.bak

Without \n using crontab I get: /srv/daemon-data/da4aaa1b-0ce9-46d2-bd60-5f599cc089ae/ShooterGame/Saved/SavedArks/TheIsland_27.06.2019_21.46.20.ark/srv/daemon-data/da4aaa1b-0ce9-46d2-bd60-5f599cc089ae/ShooterGame/Saved/SavedArks/TheIsland_28.06.2019_15.15.34.ark

Please help I'm tearing my hair out.

[proper gale]

i would use a python script myself

you also would want to use most recently modified not largest for a backup, as it could get smaller.

[waxen leaf]

I would but ark has a habit of over writing the file which would make it the most recently modified throwing that idea out the window

[proper gale]

you could look at creation then, should be logged too

[nocturne galleon]

fuuuck
my youtube downloader doesnt work anymore for some stupid reason

[tropic grail]

Gee, totally not because YouTube's EULA disallows the use of downloader tools

[nocturne galleon]

hasn't it always been that way?

[tropic grail]

Downloaders are illegal according to YT's EULA. YT works daily to break downloaders to enforce this rule.

[nocturne galleon]

ffs

[tropic grail]

youtube-dl totally doesn't exist btw 👀

[limpid reef]

I know nothing about youtube-dl.... mind you, technically streaming the video through the YouTube HTML5 web player makes a copy on your PC, so you're still downloading it. They just don't want people actually transcoding or transferring it to anything NOT contained within their platform or web player.

[tropic grail]

@limpid reef there's no need for that yt-dl can be used for streaming, and caching is different than downloading.

[limpid reef]

Righto, actually I always forget you can pipe youtube-dls output directly to VLC or any other media player capable of opening a network stream.

[tropic grail]

Almost every Discord bot/music bot uses yt-dl or FFMPEG (or both) to stream audio directly into an audio endpoint without caching whatsoever.

[brave jungle]

never knew that downloading youtube vids was illegal tbh

[nocturne galleon]

im starting to learn swift code:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

@IBOutlet weak var myWebView: UIWebView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    
    let url = URL(string: "https://www.google.com")
    myWebView.loadRequest(URLRequest(url: URL!))
}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
}

}

[tropic grail]

@brave jungle common sense.

[tropic grail]

We don't need the full explanation of how you can claim ignorance to the EULA though 👀 By using a site, you agree to their EULA, privacy policy, etc., which almost all major sites have because GDPR forces it.

[brave jungle]

Well, i used to be 12 a year ago, and i watched Youtube

@tropic grail i dont understand why its common sense, i dont download music videos or copyrighted content, just normal ltt videos or something

[tropic grail]

Still under those same rules, but in the case of LMG, so long as the videos are for personal use and not reuploaded, you're fine there, as far as I am aware.

[tropic grail]

Nope. Once you agree to these agreements, you also agree to a non-arbitration clause, which means you couldn't even get it that far.

[proper gale]

I opted out of that shit with discord.

[nocturne galleon]

what is the difference between QStackedLayout and QStackedWidget, according to the internet they are both "provide a stack of widgets where only one widget is visible at a time"

im using PyQt5

im still confused

they seem to be the exact same thing

[wind ember]

im also not entirely sure how to add a body to an electron request

@last ingot 😩

:pepehands:

Anyone here know which version of TensorFlow supports CUDA v9?

Tailwind or Bootstrap?

[thin cobalt]

ItemsSource="{Binding Source={x:Static core:RGBSurface.Instance}, Path=Devices}" worked fine in my WPF code
how would i make that work in UWP?

this is the whole code block

                        <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource StyleTextBlockForm}">
                                        <Run Text="{Binding DeviceInfo.Manufacturer}"></Run>
                                        <Run Text="{Binding DeviceInfo.Model}"></Run>
                                        <Run Text="{Binding DeviceInfo.DeviceType}"></Run>
                                </TextBlock>
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                    </ItemsControl>```

the problem is, x:Static doesnt exist for UWP apps

whats my best option for a workaround

[novel spear]

dont use static access

make a view model and make that access whatever you need then bind to that

[novel spear]

the bonus of that is you can unit test the view model too

[nocturne galleon]

how can i securely make an application remember user credentials so they don't need to login every time they open it?

[tropic grail]

A cookie with a RSA public key that expires after a set amount of uses or time, that must come from a specific IP, and have the signature of your application in the user-agent, for starters.
