The issue I take with most high school classes is you’re not going to learn fundamentals of CS, you’re going to learn basic programming

gaunt mountain May 30, 2021, 4:04 AM

#

I think it's best if you just look at online documentations rather than paying for a course that teaches less stuff on the internet

#

Or if you're more of a tutorial guy like me, watch youtube videos.

shy helm The issue I take with most high school classes is you’re not going to learn fund...

at my hs we have the normal programming classes that teach basic python and html and then the ap cs course that teaches java but its more math oriented

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:05 AM

#

I'm crazy happy hs has high school cs now

#

how long has that been going on lol

#

<< behind the times

shy helm May 30, 2021, 4:06 AM

#

Mmm years lol, my father had programming in his high school

#

They used punch cards, they got mailed to the centralized “computer” to be run

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:06 AM

#

only was available in last grade for me

spring pond May 30, 2021, 4:06 AM

#

oh wow thats interesting

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:06 AM

#

or 2nd to last

but I'm in Canada I dunno

I’m from Toronto 🙂

spring pond May 30, 2021, 4:06 AM

#

my hs had all of the classes except for a unity class before i got in

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:07 AM

#

damn imagine learning unity in hs

#

that'd be the best

shy helm May 30, 2021, 4:07 AM

#

My high school had PHP/Visual Basic/Java classes

spring pond May 30, 2021, 4:07 AM

#

id be interested to see high schools with an app dev class

shy helm May 30, 2021, 4:07 AM

#

You learn so much more in 1st yr bCS though haha

#

Material is covered so much quicker

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:08 AM

#

yeah I believe it

shy helm May 30, 2021, 4:08 AM

#

spring pond id be interested to see high schools with an app dev class

The issue is you need to cover design patterns properly otherwise it’s pretty useless

#

Lots of fumbling to build something that just “works”

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:09 AM

#

haha

spring pond May 30, 2021, 4:09 AM

#

maybe offer it as a multi-year class

shy helm May 30, 2021, 4:09 AM

#

That would be cool

spring pond May 30, 2021, 4:09 AM

#

the logistics are probably super complicated but it'd be very cool yeah

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:09 AM

#

so basically the exact equivalent of any PHP project after some thousandaire bought it and brings it to freelancers to fix

#

oops

#

wrong convo lol

spring pond May 30, 2021, 4:09 AM

#

lol

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:09 AM

#

but kinda applies

#

must be a horrible garbled mess that HS app project

spring pond May 30, 2021, 4:10 AM

#

well im only posing it as a hypothetical

#

if implemented well it would work

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:10 AM

#

yeah

shy helm May 30, 2021, 4:10 AM

#

Would probably have to provide some base template

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:10 AM

#

I'd just compartmentalize it so nobody can screw up

#

like you make a weapon, you make a skin, etc

shy helm May 30, 2021, 4:11 AM

#

But would be feasible for a motivated teacher

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:11 AM

#

but the game itself is some kind of good code

#

could work

#

Sorry, that's if you were talking unity

#

garbled mess of an app then lol

#

I can't see that being compartmentalized easily

spring pond May 30, 2021, 4:12 AM

#

the unity class i took in hs very much felt like a beta version

#

most of the resources were from the outside internet (which can be good but it didnt work in my case) and the curriculum felt a bit half-baked

#

but it could work with some refinement

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:12 AM

#

yup fair

#

what'd be cool is if a game circiculum actually released a game

#

and then the next year students worked on the next version of the same game

spring pond May 30, 2021, 4:14 AM

#

the class originally planned for that in group projects but covid

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:14 AM

#

yeah

spring pond May 30, 2021, 4:14 AM

#

maybe the class would have been a lot better

#

but i got stuck taking it at home

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:15 AM

#

ah yeah

#

I'm glad it's so commonplace

#

as is there is too much demand and not enough programmers

dim shard May 30, 2021, 4:33 AM

#

Well nothing was really that hard

#

Name a few things you think might be hard?

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:34 AM

#

I mean what was the hardest part?

#

yeah

dim shard May 30, 2021, 4:34 AM

#

Hmpff

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:34 AM

#

if I know what you found easy even

dim shard May 30, 2021, 4:34 AM

#

collecitons

#

collections

#

objects

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:34 AM

#

okay

#

did you do data structures?

dim shard May 30, 2021, 4:34 AM

#

elaborate

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:34 AM

#

that's something that'll get you ahead of everyone else

#

it's a hard class though that you will have later most likely

#

so data structures is like

#

have you heard of linked lists?

#

queues? stacks?

dim shard May 30, 2021, 4:35 AM

#

easy

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:35 AM

#

oh

#

you're already there

dim shard May 30, 2021, 4:35 AM

#

yea

sweet ferry May 30, 2021, 4:35 AM

#

then you need a real project

#

how about this

#

figure out something you want to learn how to do

#

and I'll do my best to guide you there

#

like, wanna make a game? Do you want to make a website? I dunno 😉

there are lots of dev topics i could help you with, but i have yet to touch React 🤷‍♂️

native helm May 31, 2021, 12:06 PM

#

pretty new to less, but I'm trying to understand whats a good way, if even possible, to do something like adaptive colors in an antd designed React app, ie if an elements background has a luma > 50% use black font color, otherwise use white.
My App component imports app.less and webpack takes all variables from my-theme.less into the less-loader options.modifyVars object.
I have something like this:

//--- app.less
@import '~antd/dist/antd.less';

.@{layout-prefix-cls} {
   &-header {
      // this replaces 'color: @text-color;'
      color: if(boolean(luma(@{layout-header-background}) > 50%), @black, @white);
   }
}

//--- my-theme.less
@primary-color: 'red';
@text-color: if(boolean(luma(@{primary-color}) > 50%), @black, @white);

But, instead of overriding the color in every component I'd like to achieve something like this:

//--- my-theme.less
@primary-color: 'red';
@text-color: if(boolean(luma($background) > 50%), @black, @white);

And then have @text-color evaluated on each usage, with $background refering to that elements own or inherited background property, instead of having to override every color: @text-color; on every component in antd. This whole venture started when I noticed that the default antd layout header is dark, and using a <Title level={3} /> in it causes the text to be unreadable...

Usually you do this with a regular expression, which is a common syntax for string matching. That's probably what Atom is expecting when you put it in wildcard mode.

If you don't want to learn the syntax today, you can probably search for "regex to match a c-style comment"

const bot = new Discord.Client();

const token = 'My-Token-lol';

bot.on('message', msg=>{

Basically, im setting up sole basic stuff for a bot. I was able to get the bot to go online, but when I type HELLO in a chat, the bot doesn’t respond back.

Teaching you troubleshooting, and how to fix your code!

Expected blabla

Check for syntax errors, compiler or interpreter usually shows the issue spot, go check what you wrote wrong.

Okay so first we have to identify the problem

My program dosen't answer to message!

Check that the program actually executed said function, if not move on to next phase

#

so add this into the if statement

console.log('Got through!');

twilit pawn May 31, 2021, 11:52 PM

Btw, it said this 👀

Problems:
‘,’ expected. ts(1005) [16, 1]
‘)’ expected. ts(1006) [16, 17]

whats a const??

#

is it a variable

grizzled steeple Jun 3, 2021, 10:21 AM

#

grizzled steeple In JavaScript `const` defines a readonly, block-scoped variable, `let` defines a...

to be precise, const doesn't allow you to reassign the variable, while let does. But if you assigned an object into a const variable, nothing stops you from changing it's property values. And var is technically deprecated, one should use let or const instead of var.

#

well 'deprecated' - in a sense it is not recommended to use it, but as it is a legacy thing, it will stay in language

#

const and let are block scoped, while var is function scoped, which is sometimes really not what one wants 🙂

@cloud knot Var ain't deprecated 😅

slate frigate Jun 5, 2021, 3:09 AM

rose pulsar Or does C work differently

Compiled languages work differently

#

Since stuff like python is compiled at run time ( line by lime), it lets you do things easily in the IDE

#

Compiled languages have to be compiled first, which can often take a decent amount of time to do depending on the size and complexity of the program.

#

So IDE's generally don't support compiling straight to running, although some do support debugging already compiled programs

what yall think will be added into the new big update for windows? they said it will be a focus for developers,

personally i think they will build on the whole concept of 'fluent design' -- they already have a set of styles, but more control for the devs (example of a system for integration of themes across controls, animation speed, colors of one state to another etc would be appreciated)

also bringing all that to wpf instead of locking it to uwp -- they did say they are opening microsoft store up to outside of just msix packages, which means they need to expand those feature sets for parody (we know winforms are long dead so i dont expect anything there)

anyone?

I personally don't use Java, but this seems to be the solution

iam not sure how to use those 😦

iam super new, just started learning

dense mulch Jun 6, 2021, 6:25 PM

#

Is there a specific reason you started with Java?

brittle flume Jun 6, 2021, 6:26 PM

#

not specific but basically wana start with website/web development and everyone says java is a must have for that sort of stuff

dense mulch Jun 6, 2021, 6:26 PM

#

No no

#

JavaScript

brittle flume Jun 6, 2021, 6:27 PM

#

oh no i havent thought about learning javascript, iam learning java atm

dense mulch Jun 6, 2021, 6:27 PM

#

But JavaScript is for web development

brittle flume Jun 6, 2021, 6:28 PM

#

oh

#

java should also be in there right? i have heard that you can also use that in web development

dense mulch Jun 6, 2021, 6:30 PM

#

Eh, not really, you could run anything on the web backend, but client side javascript is simply said the only/best option

brittle flume Jun 6, 2021, 6:30 PM

ah, what is java mostly used in?

#

Ye, well, I'm gonna piss off people with saying this, but Java is kinda dying

brisk latch Jun 6, 2021, 6:32 PM

You could change to c#. Syntax is pretty much the same but you have the modern Xamarin platform

warm sleet Jun 10, 2021, 5:09 PM

#

@brittle flume for has two ways that it can be used

#

either you specify an indexer, for (initializer; condition; iterator)

which in code might look like:

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  System.out.println(i);
}

#

or you can use an iterable dataset like an array or list, or any other kind of collection

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:12 PM

#

oh yeah i know about that one, 1 sec

debugger itself

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:17 PM

#

i need to be on intellij for this?

warm sleet Jun 10, 2021, 5:17 PM

#

has a couple buttons and things you can do with it

#

eclipse has a debugger too

#

idk how to use it though, years and years ago

#

just make a breakpoint

#

and run the program with debug

#

the debugger should pop open in a toolbar

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:18 PM

#

i dont see the debug console on intel, it only shows terminal

#

warm sleet Jun 10, 2021, 5:19 PM

#

oh

#

@brittle flume click on Setup JDK

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:20 PM

#

#

this one?

warm sleet Jun 10, 2021, 5:20 PM

#

click on 14

#

@brittle flume you should actually create a new project

#

https://i.imgur.com/F0581QE.png

Imgur

#

@brittle flume then, https://i.imgur.com/WIcgtE4.png

Imgur

#

You can use 14 there

#

I'm using 1.8 (because older projects)

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:22 PM

#

aight, made new project

warm sleet Jun 10, 2021, 5:22 PM

#

ok did you select maven?

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:22 PM

#

yup

#

warm sleet Jun 10, 2021, 5:22 PM

#

ok in your src directory, there should be a src/main/java

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:22 PM

#

yeah

warm sleet Jun 10, 2021, 5:22 PM

#

Okay, so let me briefly explain

#

maven is a project management tool

#

the entire compilation and other code libraries it may need, are defined in the pom.xml

#

"Project Object Model"

#

Its just easy, to learn this at same time

#

because if you ever want to use some cool libraries to build things

#

you'll need this

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:23 PM

#

gotcha

warm sleet Jun 10, 2021, 5:23 PM

#

okay so your source code is in src/main/java

#

its customary to make a package in here

#

https://i.imgur.com/te8sl2h.png

Imgur

#

in your case

#

I'd use me.nick.testproject

#

for companies, its usually com.google.project.subcomponent

#

its a way to structure your program

#

https://i.imgur.com/m97Sqet.png

Imgur

#

Example ^

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:25 PM

#

aight, made the package

warm sleet Jun 10, 2021, 5:26 PM

#

ok then in there

#

create a class

#

and then there's a trick: inside the class do the following:
type psvm and press TAB

#

that should generate one of these:
https://i.imgur.com/JZNAl3M.png

Imgur

#

that's an entrypoint to start your program

#

once you have that, there will be a Green |> symbol

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:29 PM

#

oh wait can you make the class file with public static void main thing already writted

warm sleet Jun 10, 2021, 5:29 PM

#

you can create a main method anywhere in your code

#

and tell intellij to run it

#

@brittle flume usually, when you start up a java program, do it like such: java -jar foo.jar path.to.the.MainClass

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:31 PM

#

aight, where do i put psvm

warm sleet Jun 10, 2021, 5:31 PM

#

in your main class

#

you have 1 class, which you pass to the java vm during startup

#

and itll search for a function called main

#

and start running your program from there

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:32 PM

#

gotcha! its there!

#

i still dont see the output for some reason

warm sleet Jun 10, 2021, 5:33 PM

#

did you create an empty method?

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:35 PM

#

got it!

warm sleet Jun 10, 2021, 5:36 PM

#

@brittle flume ok now put the following code in:

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:36 PM

#

is there anyway to hide this directory like on your https://i.imgur.com/SctehDn.png

Imgur

warm sleet Jun 10, 2021, 5:37 PM

#

@brittle flume if you click on that

#

it just shows you how the program is launched

#

its just intellij

#

that's the raw command it runs

#

before it started

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:38 PM

#

ah aight, I'II probably use intellji as main ide now, was confused a little before

warm sleet Jun 10, 2021, 5:38 PM

#

@brittle flume ok now your debugger

#

put in this code:

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String[] strings = {"One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five"};

        for (String s : strings) {
            System.out.println(s);
        }
    }

#

put a breakpoint on the println

#

https://i.imgur.com/GSwQibf.png

Imgur

#

Then run the program again, but this time with the debugger (the bug symbol)

#

And then it should show you this:

#

https://i.imgur.com/XWBJLsg.png

Imgur

#

so currently, its inside main, on line 9

#

and on the right, you can see the local scope of variables that are accessible

#

Now you have two things you can do

#

you can hit the green button on the left, which will resume the program, until it hits the next breakpoint

#

Or

#

you can go through your program

#

line by line

#

https://i.imgur.com/epa4X4p.png

Imgur

#

With this button

#

if you call another function, you can also step into that function (thats the button next to it)

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:45 PM

#

looking for my debug screen, cant find it

#

https://i.imgur.com/EnoBI9R.png

Imgur

warm sleet Jun 10, 2021, 5:46 PM

#

@brittle flume look in the top right

#

see the |> and bug icon

#

@brittle flume dont put underscores in class or method names

#

in fact, java doesn't really see any underscores used in field or variable names

#

unless

#

its a static constant

#

public static final String WELCOME_MESSAGE = "Hello and welcome!";

#

you don't have to do this

#

but if you ever show your code to someone else, they might just throw up

#

its just clean code in java

brittle flume Jun 10, 2021, 5:49 PM

#

ah i see, i was using _ as alternative for space lol

#

oh you can popout the debug screen to

#

cool

Snake case

Snake case (stylized as snake_case) refers to the style of writing in which each space is replaced by an underscore (_) character, and the first letter of each word written in lowercase. It is a commonly used naming convention in computing, for example for variable and subroutine names, and for filenames. One study has found that readers can re...

@brittle flume its still being developed, though mostly bu others

it just needs fixes or new features depending on what other things we need

#

the entire knockturn project is like idk how many repositories at this point

#

we have over 40 plugins

#

I Just wrote the core system, that takes care of logins, profile storage and database stuff

#

cross-server synchronization is complicated stuff

#

and most of us were ammateurs when we started this

I was the most capable one at the time, so I wrote most of the core components we needed

just a note, every language has a 'convert to lowercase/uppercase' method, that way you can unify every possible option

that is, if they enter yes, Yes, yEs, YeS or whatever, it will still count as a valid answer

in your question that would be:

if question.lower() == "yes":

What CAD software should I start out with?

I just bought a 3D printer and want to attempt to design some of my own stuff

covert falcon Jun 12, 2021, 2:15 PM

A lot of people swear by Autodesk Fusion 360 (subscription-based purchase, trial available). Haven't tried it myself due to not having the spare time when I got into the hobby, but still interested. SketchUp is also highly praised and can be used for other modelling such as for woodwork (it can even generate parts lists for planning builds/cuts for this), getting all features with ongoing updates needs a recurring annual license now I believe.

Personally I use OpenSCAD, which is a free, programming-based modelling application (their own simple language). Another free option that's highly popular is Blender; despite its original target being for 3D animation and rendering a lot of 3D print hobbyists use it quite successfully.

Dig around a bit and you can find some excellent comparisons, and try a few pieces of software out, see which one best agrees with your modelling style. Everyone I know in 3D printing seems to have settled on something different and all for different reasons 🙂

you dont even need angular for this sort of simple stuff

#

angular is for building single page applications

#

single page applications do not reload the entire page when you browse to another page

#

instead, they fetch content from a server, and update the view

warm sleet Jun 15, 2021, 4:12 PM

document.querySelector('.foo-class').addEventListener('change', (event) => { /*code here */ });

you put class="foo-class" on whatever input

Nothing interactive

midnight wind Jun 15, 2021, 4:17 PM

#

Oh, if he wants a calc

How would you do it without js

cunning flume Jun 15, 2021, 4:17 PM

#

@midnight wind one thing you can fix in that one

#

I suck at js, so tell me

#

how do you get that input field by ID ?

#

because getElementById().addEventListener() does not exist

#

@cunning flume ^

warm sleet because `getElementById().addEventListener()` does not exist

it should apparently

cunning flume yours pr monkeys

I just put it in a link that is sharable

cunning flume Jun 15, 2021, 4:26 PM

#

monkey you are kinda close

#

giv me minut to explain the problem

warm sleet Jun 15, 2021, 4:27 PM

#

@cunning flume basically, you got your piece of JS, which declares a function called update()

then, you add an event listener, that calls update() when the 'change' event happens

midnight wind Jun 15, 2021, 4:27 PM

#

warm sleet because `getElementById().addEventListener()` does not exist

this works?

function update(event) {
  document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = event.target.value
}

var input = document.querySelector('input').addEventListener('change', update);```

warm sleet Jun 15, 2021, 4:27 PM

#

@midnight wind querySelector

#

that's the one I couldn't getElementById

midnight wind Jun 15, 2021, 4:27 PM

#

ohhhhh

#

I didn't see that

cunning flume Jun 15, 2021, 4:27 PM

#

we need it ti get a quantity and then multiple it with a specific number and then give us that value

midnight wind Jun 15, 2021, 4:28 PM

#

cunning flume we need it ti get a quantity and then multiple it with a specific number and the...

then you just change the code

cunning flume Jun 15, 2021, 4:28 PM

#

we need that times 2 and then add those two nubmer together

warm sleet Jun 15, 2021, 4:28 PM

#

@cunning flume so you have an event listener that listens when either one of the two fields changes, and then updates a value elsewhere on the page

#

you can read values from both, do your calculation

#

and then write the result onto the page

#

document.getElementById("foo").value
gets you the value="" property of an <input id="foo">

midnight wind Jun 15, 2021, 4:30 PM

#

@warm sleet you need to set the id, you gave it the id of foo

warm sleet Jun 15, 2021, 4:31 PM

function update(event) {
document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = event.target.value
}

var input = document.getElementById('foo')
input.addEventListener('change', update);

#

This is why I hate scripting languages, at least java tells me when I write garbage.

midnight wind Jun 15, 2021, 4:31 PM

#

it can just be a one liner js var input = document.getElementById('foo').addEventListener('change', update);

warm sleet Jun 15, 2021, 4:32 PM

#

(e) => { }

cunning flume Jun 15, 2021, 4:33 PM

#

okay okay okay

@cunning flume https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/change_event

HTMLElement: change event - Web APIs | MDN

The change event is fired for , , and elements when an alteration to the element's value is committed by the user. Unlike the input event, the change event is not necessarily fired for each alteration to an element's value.

#

@midnight wind do you remember the days that you could put <script language="VBScript"> in a page?

#

run arbitrary vbscripts, could even have the webpage open the CD tray on the PC xD

here is the problem
we need a price calc with one input and output
sooo lets say
we put in 5 then
5500 couse we have set the price to 500
then the output is 5500 which is 2500
then we need one more input and output
were we put in lets say 3
and the price is 350
so the ouput is 3*350=1050
then we need one more output that adds the output from the first and 2nd output
so 2500+1050 which is 3550
