[warm sleet]

Just add some <input> tags

put some labels on them

and write your update event handler to do the calculation

I'm not helping you with your entire assignment, you should figure this out yourself

[midnight wind]

this should be enough to infer the rest

[cunning flume]

welp

gotta eat

but thanks for the help

@midnight wind ez onclick

[midnight wind]

eh

[warm sleet]

too bad there's no onchange=

or is there?

[midnight wind]

yes there is

lol

let me try

there

no more onclick

noice

@midnight wind "Its so simple"

then why does the code @ work look so garbage

[wraith turtle]

does anyone know what would be the best way to get information from postgresql where i have a column that is a timestamp (properly formatted with timestamp format) and i want to selection all of them with timestamps of current time to 30 days ago

[shy helm]

SELECT * FROM db WHERE time > (now() - interval ‘30 days’)

[native granite]

Does anyone know any good software for a virtual printer? I'm experimenting printing documents in C# .NET

[grizzled steeple]

Microsoft Print to PDF and Foxit Reader also has a Print to PDF function built in

[wraith turtle]

i will have to look into BETWEEN since i need to get the data from the last 30 days, and then the 30 day window before it

i can toss a loop in there with a switch and then use bash variables to make the windows using date

[cloud knot]

do typescript

[native granite]

I mean printing on a sheet with a printer, but if the code for a virtual printer like Microsoft Print to PDF is the same as a real printer, I'll experiment with that

[wraith turtle]

yes i know, you can use date in linux to output in basically any format you need so that is not a huge problem, and for the most part this is a call recording system so the times are the start_ts for the call, i just need to process out average calls per month along with storage and average handle time

all of the data is stored in a psql db

i dont build the software XD

im just the systems engineer

well i could always use our solr db to pull it but i was not wanting to go with that headache

if it takes 10-20m to run thats perfectly fine

like i said, i dont write the software, im just the systems engineer

im writing the automation script for gathering data on in place systems

i implement the systems, maintain them, upgrade them... etc

like when you call the vendor to have them take a look at your software and fix it, or you call and buy a server, im the person that designs the cluster and implements it or fixes it

no, our company writes the software, that is just not my role

i work with the people in the datacenters to implement the software

yes

its actually two full stacks running together

like its a full os being deployed sometimes multiple depending on the system load, largest so far i have played with was a 20 server cluster

yeah, im good on that one lol, I'll stick with the crapshoot of call recording software XD

yeah, i mostly work with voip integrations

cisco... such a joy to work with -_-

our systems are based on centos as the base os

so all of our systems are linux

we only deploy on centos 7 right now as we just dropped support for RHEL deployment thank god

for end user based stuff debian based distros are the best bet, however for the server space centos was the best thing you could use

remote thank god, i send them the server configuration design and they give me vm's already setup and i just go through and install and deploy all the software

i avoid any dev work on windows

if i have to write software that is running on windows i use node XD

that is standard for linux, if you dont know how to use ssh keys properly then you should not be working on linux

not like "oh never touch it again" just please go learn the basics before you start playing in prod

i can't tell you how many times i have had to refer customers to ps work because they were the ones who broke it because they didnt know what they were doing

hey, sounds like where i work 😂

our one stack is built on java.... so you can make your assumptions there XD

yep

because thats all our devs do XD

im a linux engineer, but if im doing dev i stick to node or c#, I'm just personally not a big fan of java...

why would you even store objects in pdf to start with?

ah

that makes more sense XD

i was confused, i thought you were saying you guys were storing objects in pdf format which just boggled my mind

may i mention too how much i hate parsing xml from bash without being allowed to use external tools

like this is a headache... but the only way i can do it from our stock system without external packages ```bash
lineDash
loopNum=1
cuEnt=$( xpath -p $sniffers ${xpSpecConf}jtapi${xpEqualGrp}sniffer${xpGrp}provider${xpValue}${cucmInf[1]}"'"] 2> $dvN | grep -o ${cucmInf[1]} | wc -l )
for info in "${cucmInf[@]}"
do
cucIn=${xpSpecConf}jtapi${xpEqualGrp}sniffer${xpGrp}provider${xpValue}${info}"'"]
entrynum=$(xpath -p $sniffers $cucIn 2> /dev/null | grep -o "$info" | wc -l)
startClm1=4
startClm2=6
tmpCounter=0
while [ $tmpCounter -le "$entrynum" ];
do
xpath -p $sniffers $cucIn 2> /dev/null | awk -F '["<>=]' " { printf( "%-10s%-30s\n", $$startClm1 , $$startClm2 ) } " >> $tmpfile
startClm1=$(( startClm1 + 7 ))
startClm2=$(( startClm2 + 7 ))
tmpCounter=$(( tmpCounter + 1 ))
done
done

welcome to parsing xml from bash XD

its the only thing i can use as its on our systems by default

here is the whole headache if you want to look at it XD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1Jamie/discovery-zoom/master/discovery.sh

i avoid soap with a passion, like even when im writing node, i try to use sockets instead

like express in node makes soap not as bad, but i just dont have the patience to fight with the tls crap

all the nope on that one XD

i bet the api was a crapshoot to boot

at some point i want to take a look into using node with unity

would be interesting if you can use node as a backend

i think you could have some fun with sockets on node and unity for the actual client side

i have written enough libraries myself to not have a problem with using external libraries

the thing is i dont have any issue with that, my primary language has always been JS

so you learn how to work with it and shift datatypes as you need

[midnight wind]

deno is cool

ts support by default

[wraith turtle]

like i said, that is what i learned on, so its not an issue for me, there are proper ways to work with precise datasets and there are full amazing libraries for it too

its a hobby, im not writing anything im going to sell to thousands of people

so watch me really care, i just prefer to work in node

yep

i know this

i have been playing with webGL based games for years so for me node as a backend is actually almost prefered

im old school lol, i learned back when ; were still required so my ts is horrible

i like promises personally, it was one of the best things js got

[midnight wind]

no

that's just async/await

that's just js

not ts

yes it returns a promise

[wraith turtle]

i dont know enough about ts to even give input lol

[midnight wind]

that's js

not ts

try it yourself

[wraith turtle]

personally async is a god sent, like learning it was a pain, but once it works right and you figure it out, its a really great feature instead of being stuck in synchronous scripts

[midnight wind]

all that typescript does is types

I'm not sure where you are getting this from

yes

that's js

no it's js

[wraith turtle]

that is js.... i do it all the time

[midnight wind]

yes, that's js

[wraith turtle]

yes there is

i use .then() left and right with async on the twitchbot i wrote for my friend

that was before i had a good grasp on => which was so much easier and await

if you use .then() now most browsers will say its an out of date method in the console

[midnight wind]

I can assure you that's js

give me a sec

[wraith turtle]

i used it two years ago on that twitch bot

[midnight wind]

https://jsfiddle.net/9ahpsn08/1/

returns a promise

I think we had this discussion before lol

not that hard

[wraith turtle]

welcome to programming in a language that is very different than basically any other XD

[midnight wind]

not really

you can have one big aync function

[wraith turtle]

you can chain the hell out of an async function

[midnight wind]

in front of the async stuff you just put await

but if you want 2 async stuff to run at the same time it's a little more complex

[wraith turtle]

you can thread stuff in node.... its just very very interesting and convoluted

its usually easier to run a main script that can trigger and run the different threads via different scripts

fun one https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html

[empty wren]

Anyone ever host codeigniter 4 on synology nas web station?

running fine on laragon and lampp but getting this error on Syno, any idea?

[empty wren]

Nvm it was class naming

[peak dirge]

hello lads, I have a source code that is not mine, and I want to do some tweaks in it so it could be a little bit different, its an opengl code that shows a triangle, anyone could help me on that?

[mystic sparrow]

what language is it?

[woven vault]

i think he said it was in C

[peak dirge]

C porgramming

pro*

[woven vault]

can we get like a github link?

[mystic sparrow]

Ight then idk much bout that, I'm more of website stuff n batch.

[peak dirge]

only have a text file, I can DM it to you if your privacy isnt disturbed o_o

[woven vault]

hm, maybe you could create a repo?

if you are unable to share the parts where you want to change, i would recommend you check out stackoverflow and ask a question there as well

[peak dirge]

https://github.com/WushiDashi/task.git

see if it works

[woven vault]

ok so what are you trying to change here?

things are pretty well commented, so what exactly do you plan to do?

[peak dirge]

the size and color I assume, my codeblocks is having some issues right now on the opengl, so I dont know what Im doing

lemme show you the output of this original code

[woven vault]

glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES); // Color and position of the triangle's vertices

            glColor3f(1.0f, 0.25f, 0.50f);   glVertex2f(0.0f,   1.0f);
            glColor3f(0.85f, 1.0f, 0.50f);   glVertex2f(0.87f,  -0.5f);
            glColor3f(0.25f, 0.50f, 1.0f);   glVertex2f(-0.87f, -0.5f);

this is where the color is declared

[peak dirge]

yes but Im new to opengl, so I dont know what exactly to change there nor test it, because it keeps showing me this when I compile anything

[woven vault]

alright let me try and compile this

so when you run the code, nothing changes?

no matter chat you change?

and what are you running the code on?

[peak dirge]

I even tried some codes like the tic tac toe and the hangman game that I found on the a website, all show this triangle of doom

open gl project in codeblocks

[woven vault]

hm

what i suggest you do is go to stackoverflow

have you heard of that site before?

https://stackoverflow.com/

you should go here and ask your question

there will be alot more people who are able to help you

[peak dirge]

have you compiled the code?

[woven vault]

I tried to do it on visual studio

there are probably some dependencies that i am missing

[peak dirge]

is there any discord or community you reference me so that people would answer me asap, deadline's today

[woven vault]

i don't know any C servers

but have you tried the programmers hangout?

they have a dedicated C channel

[peak dirge]

no

link?

[woven vault]

ok go to the side bar with all your servers

and scroll all the way down

at the bottom there should be the add button and a compass

click the compass and it will bring you to a server searcher

just type in The Programming Hangout

it will be the top result

[peak dirge]

appreciate it private guy!

[woven vault]

don't mention it

[vapid lava]

Guys I need Help!!! I am confused if I should pursue vanilla CSE or CSE with Specialization in Data Science or CSE with Specialization in Blockchain Technology for my UG Degree?

[hallow pilot]

Do you have to declare one the first year?

[vapid lava]

@hallow pilot yes before admission

[hallow pilot]

I would imagine it wouldn't be a big deal to add a specialization during your second year once you better know what you want to do

I'd probably start with vanilla unless you're already super into one of those things

[vapid lava]

@hallow pilot Due to Covid the counseling is online and its shit. No support what so ever.

[hallow pilot]

Sorry to hear that. I think the quality of counseling varies a lot between schools and between departments, even before covid.

When I went to school a million years ago I was lucky to be in a program where every student had appointments with friendly and knowledgeable humans to plan their classes. But I had friends in other degrees with no human support at all, picking their own classes and entering them into a computer terminal.

[river meadow]

I would not bet on blockchain for a specialization... Other than that it depends what the data science specialization replaces in the base degree

If it replaces courses that you don't particularly care for anyway, go for it

The important thing is you get to learn what you are interested in.

From a CS/Math major, and CS educator.

[hallow pilot]

That sounds rough. If I had to choose at what age to have a year of covid restrictions, it definitely wouldn't be college.

Does anyone know any good code jams happening for the summer like in July or something

[late plank]

Im working on a c++ application in qt and I keep getting "Syntax error, missing ';' before '*'".
I read online that this is caused by a missing include. But as soon as I comment the line out and build the code (which ofc fails). And then uncomment that line and build it, its fully working until I make changes to the code.
The section of code where the error occurs at:
(The media_controller is initialized halfway during the setup of the parent class)

#include <mediacontroller.h>
private:
  mediaController *media_controller;

[cloud knot]

isn't private supposed in some sort of class, or struct or whatever ?

(as described at https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/access )

[late plank]

This is just a snippet of the code. It is in the constructo

[cloud knot]

what ? again, properties are supposed to be in class or struct, not 'inside a constructor'. You are probably nesting something incorrectly, and compiler is freaking out because you have a property/variable definition where it is not supposed to be. You should probably shown the whole code, not just a snippet.

[reef tangle]

when you post the code

make sure you format it

[midnight wind]

show more code

sometimes compilier shows the wrong error location

[cloud knot]

and the working/not working part is probably about compiling the object somehow, and it is not rebuilt until you change the specific file, when it fails again

[late plank]

How was it wrong? I pasted it from my editor directly into a codeblock

Can I pastebin it then? Or does that fall under evading the filter?

[reef tangle]

Use the "```" thingies

[late plank]

Im sure I did

[midnight wind]

they did?

[reef tangle]

You can pastebin it as well

[midnight wind]

I'm not sure what the problem is

[reef tangle]

It's codex not against the rules

Oh wow, im used to macos.. when you press it three times it does it three times...

On windows it only does two

Either way

[midnight wind]

I most likely missed the last ``

I think i did this:

Huh

weird

https://pastebin.com/ra0nJLsR

I did something wrong which most likely fucked up the formatting and triggered the bot

line 45 keeps erroring on compiling, expected ';' before '*'

[nocturne galleon]

if I wanted to have a client/server model application that makes use of a database, simply creating a MySQL file through python wont be enough right? I've heard about database/sql servers, is that to enable the handling of multiple queries being processed/managed properly?

or is it not necessary?

[hollow basalt]

@nocturne galleon

simply creating a MySQL file through python wont be enough right

what do you mean by this

like creating a .sql ?

[nocturne galleon]

wait I was thinking of sqlite

how come sqlite can just connect to a database as a file, but mysql cant?

and if I was to make an application with sqlite, wouldn't that be treating it like a file which can have issues if different threads/asynchronous things are making changes at the same time?

[hollow basalt]

well, what do you mean "database" by that

[dry crater]

Depends on the industry. Many companies use their own modified compilers(eg: - Activision). Many do use gcc, but clang and msvc are very popular

[midnight wind]

no because a mqsql server is a server

you give it commands, and it executes them

gives your program a lot more flexebility

sqlite isn't a server

it's embedded into the program

[vale pine]

Hello!
I have a general question:
In a social networking ish environment, let's say you would have someone following or liking or whatever someone else
The problem is, how do you send this info from the client? I would not like the idea of exposing internal IDs, but at the same time I wouldn't use the email since it's personal info (and bye bye option to hide it). Username? Maybe, but what if while someone is checking out that profile, the owner changes username? Time for a cascade of exceptions lol
Any idea?

[midnight wind]

UUID

Just an id

[lunar quail]

@nocturne galleon sqlite is an excellent db that is meant for embedded databases. However, it is capable of being used for most low to medium traffic websites (ie: most websites). It can handle server-side multi-user, multi-process, multi-thread applications. The library takes care of all the locking and unlocking without a service/daemon being involved. https://www.sqlite.org/whentouse.html

[nocturne galleon]

Thank you all for your responses, you’ve finally cleared up something I’ve been confused about for ages

[timid axle]

yes, for e.g my uni uses dcc

[lunar quail]

I prefer clang for the error messages. They made the errors much easier to read. It's nice to see gcc start to improve their error messages.

not sure what section to ask about creating elgato stream deck icons for Adobe and Autodesk products

[limpid reef]

Probably #creative 😉 looks like Elgato Streamdeck accepts 72x72 pixel JPG, PNG, or animated GIF files. https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028237271-Elgato-Stream-Deck-Customizing-Key-Icons

[agile sun]

So, I am trying to create hotkeys for the tools in Illustrator, Photoshop, and Sketchbook, but I can find the current Icons on the web. I thought they would be in the program files, but all I could find is the product badge icon...

I read somewhere that they (tool icons) may not be stored locally and if they are, they would most likely be in a DLL file.

I tried reaching out to Taran Van Hemert a while ago, but he didn't respond. I understand that he is busy....

I also reached out the Elgato, Adobe, and Autodesk, but all I received was the same link to the Elgato Stream Deck Key Creator.

I figured that I would ask developers just in case someone knows how to parse (decompile) DLL files.

[limpid reef]

That assumes the icons are even stored in a dll - if they're not, you'd be wasting time trying to do that. It appears that some Adobe applications straight up store icons as PNG files inside C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Prelude 2020\PNG where the Abode Prelude 2020 folder is replaced with the name of the program you're trying to get icons for.

However, I checked my installation of Photoshop and don't see a PNG folder so they must be storing the files elsewhere. I've never bought anything from this site so I can't endorse them or anything, but it appears people sell pre-made icon packs specifically for the Streamdeck. Otherwise the alternative is to scour the internet looking for free icons to use. https://www.sideshowfx.net/products-stream-deck

[agile sun]

could they be in an EXE file?

[limpid reef]

Icons can exist in exe or DLL files, but no idea where Adobe keeps their Photoshop tool icons.

[agile sun]

It looks like they are onboarding the tool icons with JS or JSX

[limpid reef]

They might also be loading them from files inside this folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2020\Resources

No idea how you'd extract them, if you even can. Anywho, I'm heading off, best of luck. 🙂

[agile sun]

the latest update for streamdeck (5+) app in windows actually includes a ton of new streamdeck icon packs that you can use, and adobe has an official package set with everything from CC in there

https://slideshowfx.net/products-illustrator - also it appears they are made by some third party company called slideshowFX that's the link from within the streamdeck store

if you try looking on somewhere like deviantart though you will find a ton of resources that work for streamdeck icons

The way it's formulated it could be only printing out stuff.

It doesn't say you have to calculate anything

[rose pulsar]

i was writing a c program and it didn’t work right unless one array was 1000 units big

not sure why that was

but no numbers would be entered into any of the arrays otherwise

c is weird

[safe cradle]

i know dude

[hollow basalt]

[hollow basalt]

you could sort the array first

but i reckon you could also not sort it

@safe cradle

[safe cradle]

i can sort tho

[hollow basalt]

so uh

just ask if you need help?

[safe cradle]

yes sir thanks

oh i just got it

Anyone been able to gain access to GitHub Copilot yet? If so, how long ago did you sign up for it?

[full berry]

who agrees? who doesnt?

[obtuse night]

I disagree that JS is bad. I dont think its bad at all however I agree with the Angular stuff, and WebAssembly being the future

[cloud knot]

JavaScript was never intended for what it is used now. Just as Windows before Windows NT was not intended to be an actual multitasking OS.

[cloud knot]

WebAssembly might be future for certain use cases. A small section.

[full berry]

I would say moving forward webasm based languages/frameworks will grow, eventually over taking js. Hope it's within my life time.

And like mentioned js was never intended to do what it is now, so would that not imply that it's a bad language if not in itself then it's choice in the matter?

I've been wanting multi threading, and no web workers are not enough.

JS is not the worst - you could always be stuck using Python. But it's not great.

[hollow basalt]

[pliant siren]

I am forced to use Python for most of my AI/ML work using Tensorflow, holy crap just kill me.

[hollow basalt]

I see, a AI python programmer

I use it for scripts and shts, and not AI/ML so probably don't share the grudge

[pliant siren]

using it for anything it's just horrible. We have a team who uses Django and I can not for the life of me figure out what posessed us to go down that route of using it in our stack.

I can not name a single thing Python does that Java doesn't do better, and even if you could find one two things you're grasping at edge-cases.

[hollow basalt]

As much as I like python, I think some people are overdoing it

btw, what;s your main language then?

java?

[pliant siren]

Yeah. Though I do a lot in JS at the moment also.

Could somebody please help with making a website

I just want to know how to make something download from a button

I completely agree

[full berry]

C# primarily here atm

[full berry]

whats wrong with just creating a hyperlink to the file?

[midnight wind]

for one you would need a webserver to serve the file

then it's really ez

just have the webserver have access to the file

then it's just an ez

<a href="/assets/file.txt" download>

[oak sundial]

could I change where it downloads so it downloads instead of downloads it goes to pictures?

[midnight wind]

that's completly a client thing

you have no control over that

in chrome you can either make it download to downloads folder, or make it show a popup each time

[oak sundial]

could I make it show a popup even if the client has that setting off?

[midnight wind]

no

[oak sundial]

rip

[oak sundial]

so there's no way I could?

[midnight wind]

no, that's all client side

you can only request it to download

what do you want to do?

[oak sundial]

Maybe I can load the exe file with my webpage and from the client run it?

[oak sundial]

run an installer but the computer does not have a downloads folder on windows and the settings for chrome don't let me change them so it opens up file explorer

[midnight wind]

ok, so? the user downloads to where they want it

[oak sundial]

yes

[pliant siren]

Oh this is a tough one, I'm thinking of writing myself a small webapp for which a DB would be the best storage solution, but I can't decide on which platform would be best to use for it.

For work it would be obvious: use Java. But Java is overkill for this project. I have no aversion to PHP. Javascript is horrible for that kind of thing because of promises and async requests/callbacks. Tough decisions...

[obtuse night]

If you are wanting something fun to learn, have a look at Go. If you are looking for something to get the job done, I'd suggest C#. It's nothing fancy but you can get something up and running relatively quickly

[pliant siren]

I have no desire to run this on infra that can run C# 😄

[obtuse night]

C# can run on Linux and containers too 😀

[pliant siren]

Just because it 'can' doesn't mean you should heh

[obtuse night]

But you're right. It's not the best to choose

[pliant siren]

I actually like C# as a language, but ASP leaves a lot to be desired.

it's module/library availability and ecosystem is lacking too, unfortunately.

In fact, the three languages I mentioned are probably the top 3 across anything as far as "oh, I need a pre-written module to do is-number?" 😄

[obtuse night]

Honestly, have a look at Go. It runs on pretty much anything, has high performance and you get to learn slightly lower level code

[pliant siren]

I suppose at some point in my career it's gonna be forced upon me, so maybe it can't hurt.

This got me thinking, I can't wait til the next time I'm actually in the market for a new job, and some interviewer asks me to write FizzBuzz, and I'm gonna have to resist the urge to not use

fb = require('fizzbuzz');
fb();

... or to write it using TensorFlow

[glad glen]

So I have a JSON file with the following structure:

[
    ['Event 1', '06/11/2013'],
    ['Event 2', '10/11/2013'],
    ['Event 3', '11/12/2013']
]

I want to be able to have a python function which will run at midnight every day and then for one of these events which happened on the same day. How could I do this? If a database or csv file is easier than a JSON file, I'm fine with that

[urban comet]

you can use cron to schedule the python script

and then from the python script...

• read file
• find event X where date = today's date
• call out to cron from the python script to run another script at date(X)

hi, im new to self and __init__ in python could someone please writ a __init__ method to this class as example or explain what do i need?

class config:
    def red(file_name="config.json"):
        try:
            with open(file_name, 'r', encoding='utf8') as config:
                return json.load(config)
        except FileNotFoundError:
            raise FileNotFoundError("Could not found file \"config.json\"")


    def write(file_name="config.json", *, data):
        try:
            with open(file_name, 'w', encoding='utf8') as config:
                json.dump(data ,config, indent=2)
        except FileNotFoundError:
            raise FileNotFoundError("Could not found file \"config.json\"")

[spring pond]

that python code isn't valid, that * is an invalid char

also what needs to be initialized?

as far as i can tell everything is contained within the functions

[nocturne galleon]

@spring pond So way the IDE tell me need self, nned self in every method? I have used python like I send in the pass year but one thing I could not understand what is it init and self

[midnight wind]

Just lookup python classes

Geeksforgeeks or w3schools have basic explanations

Googlefu is the most useful skill in programming

[hollow basalt]

init and self are different

self is like the "this" in java

__ init __ is the constructor

[livid jungle]

Bookmark manager design doc goals:

MVP (minimum viable product):
All functionality found in in browser bookmark managers including:

1. adding and removing html links to a list of links
2. sorting and organizing the links in a tree data structure file folder system
3. searching for links based on the url that has been bookmarked
4. importing and exporting the list of links that was or is created by the app or by other bookmark manger exporters ie: chrome export tool
5. ability to share and retrieve the links stored as a generated shortened url, either as the whole list of bookmarks or a specific folder of bookmarks

Beyond this basic functionality, I have the following advance features that are the main motivation for making this as an app separate from the browser (either chrome extension or more likely react web app):

Stretch:
6) I want to store Metadata on each link as json objects in order for the user to filter not only by the name of the url but also by any piece of data that the website returns from a ping request. This includes the image of the website aka the fasticon.

7. beyond searching the meta data want to be able to create and search the bookmarks for tags that I created or that were automatically generated by the Metadata (ie all the lttstore.com related links would be shown if filtered by that url) that can be used to sort by tags themselves.

8. I watch the search functionality to allow for multi dimension filtering. For instance, all "linus tech tips" links that include the "Linux" and "Anthony " tag, with a search ui that is at least as intuitive to use as a desktop file folder search ui

9. I want to use css grids or other styling to allow for different view types. For instance, how the file explorer in windows allows for a image view, a content name view, and a details view with various columns of information. I want it to be responsive so that it is usable on mobile, tablet, and desktop device.

10. I hope to learn how to set up a way to distribute the app, ideally on my own website that I set up myself and host on a hosting service such as linode.

That's what I have so far for my project design doc. Thoughts/constructive feedback/criticism?;

Also the planned stack is Web Full Stack using html5, cc3, JS, React as the front end, React and Express for the routes, and MongoDB or possibly MySQL for the database storage and retrieval;

[severe viper]

so

say i wanted to "convert" persay a java application from an apk i decomiled how would that work exactly?

you should try joplin if you work in markdown regularly and want a gui that simplifies the editting process for your markdown;

https://joplinapp.org/

Free and open source tool and works with pretty much any os;

plus it doubles as an extremely handy alternative to evernotes for notetaking and managing;

[midnight wind]

huh, interesting

I found notable which is nice

but it's no longer foss for now

[cloud knot]

markdown by itself doesn't have that kind of nested numbered list

[astral garnet]

dumb questions.. anyone know what is "wrong" with this code: " Each <BR> word <BR> is <BR> on <BR> a <BR> separate <BR> line"

its just a simple line break at each word..

its not done normally but eh

wait do you have to put a / in the <br /> ?

i dont' think so but

[hollow basalt]

BUT

[astral garnet]

you don't need to

er

i think its cause the line isn't enclose in a paragraph <P>

[hollow basalt]

no

[astral garnet]

?

then what exactly?

[hollow basalt]

[rancid nimbus]

You could just use awk or grep to get the chassis info.

[split quail]

You can put this command hostnamectl status | grep Chassis | sed 's/Chassis: //'

for real tho you should probably try an xml parser as the answer suggests

[red mulch]

regex for XML is the worst thing in the world.

[keen panther]

If it works, it works

[red mulch]

no

The primary purpose of your code is readability and supportability.

[keen panther]

I ain't writing code for some MNC, it's just a fun project

[red mulch]

whether it works or not is LESS important. - Because if it makes sense, someone else can fix it.

What are you trying to do?
Why would you want to redirect it

[spring pond]

afaik you cant really change how minecraft authenticates without altering the game code

[fresh nexus]

Yeah.
And even if you could, after changing them, you wouldn't be able to connect to other servers, that wouldn't be using the same auth servers as you.

[proper stream]

Can I just in the windows hosts file I redirect the auth.Minecraft.net to another ip?

If you're not taking a java exam.

@nocturne galleon how do you install dual boot service

[nocturne galleon]

whats that

[rose pulsar]

ubuntu I think just lets you click “install alongside your os”

[nocturne galleon]

yeah

[rose pulsar]

and then you can choose how much space you want to give each os

After that i think every time you turn on the pc you can choose from the grub menu which os you want to boot

[nocturne galleon]

or select a different drive and booting from that drive will let you pick which os via grub

[rose pulsar]

ive never tried dual booting before though

[nocturne galleon]

its really straight forward, no biggie

[boreal ivy]

don't worry haha I managed to work out what my problem was

What's a good database for holding json documents and non json data together (like excel - one line has various non json data and json too)

[nocturne galleon]

Hi, i found this at stackoverflow and i will love that someone will explain me what going on in logic spec (not about syntax)

def list_files(root_path: str=os.getcwd()):
    files_list=[]
    for path, subdirs, files in os.walk(root_path):
        for file_name in files:
            files_list.append(os.path.join(path, file_name))
    return files_list

[nocturne galleon]

DBs is not with tables?

[sturdy ingot]

How's to_string not working? Can you show your code as well as the error message?

[spring pond]

mongoDB is a fully json database, that could be a good place to start

[sturdy ingot]

Did you read os.walk's documentation? https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html?highlight=os walk#os.walk

os.walk returns 3-tuples of the current path, its subdirs and its files. For all files, the code extends it via os.path.join and therefore creates a list of all files, starting from root_path (or the current working directory, if the argument wasn't specified).

I would prefer a generator variant with yield, though, e.g.

def list_files(root_path: str=os.getcwd()):
    for path, _, files in os.walk(root_path)
        for file_name in files:
            yield os.path.join(path, file_name)

Or a single comprehension:

def list_files(root_path: str = os.getcwd()):
    """Return an iterator that yields all file paths, starting in root_path."""
    return (
        os.path.join(path, file)
        for path, _, files in os.walk(root_path)
        for file in files
    )

[rose pulsar]

@fallen gulch do you have the right library #include d

you have to do that in c a lot of the time to get certain commands - and I think it’s the same in c++

[nocturne galleon]

I need to stream on the desktop browser mkv files with nginx how can I do that?

[nocturne galleon]

I know, I want to know how its work not only in python

[sturdy ingot]

What do you mean by "how its work"? How os.walk() works internally?

[nocturne galleon]

No

How rwecservely works

Like how to do it efecent

[sturdy ingot]

There's nothing recursive in your given snippet, and os.walk isn't necessarily recursive. It may use a stack or a queue, for all we know. Also, recursive functions may not be costly, depending on the programming language, especially if the function is tail recursive.

[nocturne galleon]

Oh ok thanks

[sturdy ingot]

In case you want to test it yourself:

import os
import collections
from typing import Iterator

def walk_recursive(root_path: str=os.getcwd()) -> Iterator[str]:
    with os.scandir(root_path) as it:
        for entry in it:
            if entry.is_dir(follow_symlinks=False):
                for subcall_path in walk_recursive(entry.path):
                    yield subcall_path
            else:
                yield entry.path

def walk_iterative(root_path: str=os.getcwd()) -> Iterator[str]:
    stack = collections.deque()
    stack.append(root_path)

    while stack:
        current = stack.pop()
        for entry in os.scandir(current):
            if entry.is_dir(follow_symlinks=False):
                stack.append(entry.path)
            else:
                yield entry.path

def force_generator(gen: Iterator[str]):
    for _ in gen:
        pass

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import timeit
    test_path = "/tmp"
    number = 100

    funcs = {
            "recursive": walk_recursive,
            "iterative": walk_iterative,
            "os.walk":   os.walk
            }

    for name, f in funcs.items():
        print(f'         {name:>9}: {timeit.timeit(lambda: f(test_path), number=number)}')
        print(f'(forced) {name:>9}: {timeit.timeit(lambda: force_generator(f(test_path)), number=number)}')

There should be almost no difference between walk_iterative and walk_recursive. Both yield the same files as the previous code, but using the more low-level os.scandir. You can compare them to see how a stack can make a recursive function iterative. Note that the order differs, but that could get changed (but also depends on os.scandir).

So I'm trying to follow an online guide and have used this notebook: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1dXj-hRUqukVQsLGJiv39fv0X8oNE-cqj?usp=sharing and here is the csv file I'm using to finetune it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-Ji_j5xRzg5gwP32cOQd7y0NxVrw4D09/view?usp=sharing

However, I get this traceback when executing the training:

Does anyone know why?

[nocturne galleon]

thanks

[sturdy ingot]

Seems like df_trn isn't in the right format. Did you evaluate df with your new CSV values? That's missing from the traceback. Probably something like pd.read_csv("/path/to/your/file")

[glad glen]

Thats done earlier in the code and then I split it so the model can be trained

[sturdy ingot]

What's df_trn.ndim's value?

[fallen gulch]

to_string error.

[fallen gulch]

yes. i even copied code online that uses the function but it did not work.

[sturdy ingot]

Hm. That looks like QtCreators older design, which indicates an older variant of both Qt and GCC. Which GCC version do you use?

[sturdy ingot]

Can you check whether the following function creates an error?

void foo(const std::string& bar) {
    auto quux = bar;
}

If auto doesn't work, than either your compiler is too old for C++11, or it needs special settings. You might have to add c++11 to your CONFIG values in your .pro file, IIRC.

[sturdy ingot]

By the way, using namespace std is discouraged, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1452721/why-is-using-namespace-std-considered-bad-practice, especially in header files.

[ivory bear]

most university lecturers teach students to use using namespace std in their classes and for assignments

unless you're sure that their lecturers are fine with the change, don't ask them to change it if it's obvious that it was an assignment (as seen in the window title)

some lecturer might even deduct marks if students don't follow exactly as taught, for example

_ _
if it was not assignment, why are you still doing using namespace std in this era?

[sturdy ingot]

I didn't ask for a change but only noted that it's discouraged in general. Whether that suggestion is applicable in their specific context is up to them. 🤷

(Also up to whether the assignment had stuff like "only change between lines X and Y" and other similar statements)

[pliant siren]

Oof. Just found a nice exploit in some code written by my predecessor. It allows an attacker to pass in a url containing a parameter that then gets executed on the page. Big oof.

[brittle flume]

does anyone here use webstorm

[grizzled steeple]

I use IntelliJ for my web projects xD

[brittle flume]

trying to make a new project in webstorm and it doesnt show java on the left panel

[grizzled steeple]

Webstorm is for Frontend Development afaik. But as Java is Backend, I think you'd need to use IntelliJ for that...

You can check the Marketplace and see if there's a Java extension for Webstorm tho

[brittle flume]

i have intelliJ to and am having same problem here, i cant find console tab

[grizzled steeple]

That's curious... In IntelliJ, there should be an option for Java. And then there should be a tab for the Terminal/Console...

[brittle flume]

oh yeah i see java option on this one, i see the terminal, but it doesnt output

[grizzled steeple]

Weird...

[brittle flume]

eclipse works, using that for now atleast

https://i.imgur.com/1vcqQCh.png

i have a question

i got a "program" (idk if it even is a program) can i turn that into a exe file

so i can just open it and use it

[grizzled steeple]

I'm honestly more familiar with JavaScript and the sorts. I only really got into Java thanks to my current job where we mostly develop Spring Applications hosted in Docker, so I can't really help you with that ^^"

[brittle flume]

ah np

[midnight wind]

Turn java into just a plain executable?

[brittle flume]

yeah, i kind of did it using launch4j

[midnight wind]

It's def possible just defeats the purpose of java

[brittle flume]

wdym

[midnight wind]

One goal of java is to have one file for multiple platforms

For it to be cross platform basically

[brittle flume]

ah, for now i just wanted a exe, just testing stuff out

[glad glen]

So I've got a conversational model posted on huggingface and a discord bot which acts as a chatbot and makes requests. However, the API to huggingface is constantly unreliable and goes down. Is there any way to fix this (or put the model somewhere else)?

So the model constantly goes down and needs to be restarted

Heyy! Quick question regarding web programming, so basically i want to add webpage theme. Btw Im using ghost website for the theme. I downloaded the files but not sure how to add on the webpage. If anyone knows how to deal with it so pls do let me know. And pls consider tag.🙂
im just a starter so dont judge me 😅

[rose pulsar]

you can’t just run it using the java compiler

seems like itd be easier than converting it to exe

[spring pond]

well there are ways to convert java to native code but yeah it usually isnt worth it

[rose pulsar]

ik vsc lets you just click a button and it’ll pop up a terminal and run it for you

i assume eclipse has something to that effect

[spring pond]

from what ive seen if you just install java it sets the file association and runs the jvm automatically

[brittle flume]

i can make it into a jar file

[spring pond]

thats all you need

[brittle flume]

but when i run it nothing happens

[spring pond]

its possible more advanced setup is required for the jar to run correctly

when an ide makes a jar file it usually isnt self-sufficient

you need to specifically set it to release mode

[brittle flume]

most likely, i looked up on stackoverflow (an old thread) said that i might have outdated jre/jdk

[spring pond]

does your jar file have a file type of "Executable Jar File"

if it does then try running it from cmd and see if that works

if it doesnt then you need to install java

[rose pulsar]

javac —version

run that in the command line

if it doesnt work you need to install jdk

[spring pond]

^

[brittle flume]

16.0.2

i think thats latest right?

[spring pond]

well thats good

yes

[brittle flume]

how do i run the jar file from cmd again?

[spring pond]

try navigating to the directory in cmd then run java -jar <jar name here>

[rose pulsar]

whats the difference between a jar and a regular .java file

[spring pond]

java files are uncompiled

they're like .cpp files

they're compiled into .class files then linked into a .jar

similar to C++ .o -> .exe

[brittle flume]

so like c:\user\name\download\java -jar <the name of the file

[rose pulsar]

we never used .jar s in the class i took
but it was intro level

[spring pond]

are you in the directory in cmd

using the cd commands

[brittle flume]

iam in c:\users\name

[spring pond]

ok

so then just type in the command

[rose pulsar]

yeah it created .class files when we compiled the .java programs

but not a .jar

[spring pond]

maybe i was wrong java might just use class files and jar is only for distribution

that sounds more correct

[rose pulsar]

jar might contain multiple programs in one
especially since java likes to use different files for different classes
would make sense

[spring pond]

yeah

[rose pulsar]

A Jar file is an Zip archive containing one or multilple java class files. This makes the usage of libraries (consisting of multiple classes) more handy. Directories and Jar files are added to the classpath and available to the ClassLoader at runtime to find particular classes inside of it.

yep

[spring pond]

it would seem your jar was not assembled correctly

[brittle flume]

hmmm seems like something in the actual program is the problem

[spring pond]

ive had this problem before

its not

[brittle flume]

ah

[spring pond]

this is before the main function is executed

it doesnt even know where the main function is

you will probably need to use something like maven to create an executable jar file

the setup process is complicated tho

is there a reason you want to execute this code outside of an ide?

[brittle flume]

nope just seeing if i can

[spring pond]

you need to know that you want to do so at the start of a project

[brittle flume]

ah

[spring pond]

trying to shoehorn in executable functionality isnt really an easy or practical thing to do in java

[brittle flume]

i see, its fine tho nothing important anyways

i only have 1 file in the whole project thing

like only 1 .java file

[spring pond]

well it seems that youre currently learning so you shouldnt have to deal with this for a while

[brittle flume]

yup, iam

aight, thanks alot 👍

[spring pond]

hey guys, I would anyone be able to help me with trying to make a powershell script as I have a very basic understanding of that im trying to do

it can be pretty much summed up by this reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/mountandblade/comments/g0korl/how_to_easily_unblock_all_mod_files_without_the/
I know its pretty easy to just put it into powershell but i want to try to make it a 1 or 2 step process

Ok nevermind, I worked it out through some googling

[glad radish]

Hi. I hardly use this server. But I need help with linux. Does anyone know any distro that runs visual studio, not visual studio code but visual studio specifically .net, and SQL server?

Any help is appreciated

[fresh nexus]

Afaik there is no distro which would run Visual Studio, as it's relies heavily on some old windows stuff.

[spring pond]

if you really wanted you could try to use wine but id only give that a 25% chance that it starts up at all, ignoring all programming functionality

.NET and SQL is pretty well-supported by vsc tho

[nocturne galleon]

Okay, this could be a reach but any SDE or SWE here with experience in system design interview questions?
I'm new grad, have a final round interview coming up in few days. They generally ask this specific question in system design round (as per glassdoor review).

"Describe how you would build an application for class and schedule management at a university."

Now I can design HLD for this but not sure how to approach if asked to create LLD for this question.

[eternal temple]

ok i am abit new to pytouch but how would u use https://github.com/lucidrains/charformer-pytorch

from charformer_pytorch import GBST
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
btyes_max = 266
def stringToTensor(string):
    byte = string.encode('utf-8')
    tensor = torch.tensor(list(byte))
    return tensor , torch.ones(1, btyes_max).bool()
tokens, mask  = stringToTensor("hhhhhhhhhhh")

tokenizer = GBST(
    num_tokens = btyes_max,             # number of tokens, should be 256 for byte encoding (+ 1 special token for padding in this example)
    dim = 512,                    # dimension of token and intra-block positional embedding
    max_block_size = 4,           # maximum block size
    downsample_factor = 4,        # the final downsample factor by which the sequence length will decrease by
    score_consensus_attn = True   # whether to do the cheap score consensus (aka attention) as in eq. 5 in the paper
)

tokens, mask = tokenizer(tokens, mask = mask) 

dont worry found it

[glad radish]

Sure it's worth a shot

[grizzled steeple]

The design is very intuitive
The design:

[modest grove]

Well it is coded with Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 designed for Pre Windows Vista

For some reason, the older Languages that were not made for Modern Operating Systems are easier for me to understand than anything Modern..

Exept Python, Python is pretty easy.

I can add Images to the Application

Okay #development is inactive as heck lol

[sturdy ingot]

What do you consider "modern"?

[modest grove]

Most languages post 2005-2012

This one i am working with right now is from the 90's

[grizzled steeple]

Meanwhile me, who started coding in a larger capacity using C#, prefers NodeJS over everything lol

[modest grove]

I started Programming with Batch

And then i started with Virtual Base Script

Then Python

Then ASIC 5.0 to make DOS Programs

Now Microsoft Virtual Basic 5.0

Virtual Basic 5.0 is actually uses VBScript and VBA

[grizzled steeple]

Don't get me wrong, I see the benefits of other languages, I mean, there's a reason I'm mostly doing Java + Spring at work (and here and there C++ on the legacy software). But it doesn't change the fact that I feel most comfortable in NodeJS and thus, most of my recent personal projects have been written in Node. For example my Discord Bot, pure NodeJS with discord.js as the main library

[modest grove]

Damn

You can test the Bot on my server, i want to rework my own server a little

I can also make you a quick Windows App that Allows The Discord Developer Portal to be opened quickly

I just realized that i had VMware running the Entire time

This is as 98 as a (Special) Development Kit can be.

but i mean

[sturdy ingot]

Requires Chrome 🤔 ? If there is a start (CMD) equivalent in VB, then you could use the default browser.

[modest grove]

It is running start from CMD

wait

bruh lemme remove the part where is says chrome

[sturdy ingot]

Then Chrome isn't required, start https://reddit.com will work fine 😄

[modest grove]

Thanks dude.

[sturdy ingot]

You're welcome. Let's see whether I can find a workaround for Discord too...

[modest grove]

%systemroot%/Program Files/Discord/Discord.exe

probaly

[sturdy ingot]

Nah, Discord always listens on localhost in order to capture discord.gg/?... invites or similar.

[modest grove]

Well i entered %localappdata%/Discord/discord.exe in EXE = ""

[sturdy ingot]

That will work too.

[modest grove]

No i think its Update.exe to run Discord

[grizzled steeple]

Thanks, but I have my own 2 servers. One being the public one where the main bot runs and then a second one where just me and the bot are in for testing. (have a second Bot account for testing too; can't take any chances)

[sturdy ingot]

But if Discord is already running, then you'd only want to bring it back to the foreground. There might be an API that one can use.

[modest grove]

Running Update.exe when discord is running does litteraly nothing

[sturdy ingot]

Did you run it with additional arguments, e.g. Update.exe --processStart Discord.exe?

[modest grove]

no wait

Well now it work's...

What else should i add?

[midnight wind]

Check out deno

[modest grove]

Well i added a "Open Explorer at Drive" Feature

[midnight wind]

It's pretty cool with native typescript

My latest bot is written using it

[sturdy ingot]

"Turn off PC in <XY> minutes"

[modest grove]

Okay ima write that in a VM first lol

[sturdy ingot]

Have a look at shutdown /? for the right command and arguments 🙂

[modest grove]

k

Best part of writing with Such a Old Language is that you can run the Applications on Older Windows Versions

Wait ill add a Shutdown Creator option that just runs shutdown -i and opens the Shutdown menu

Perfect

[sturdy ingot]

*laughs in LISP*

[modest grove]

Whats LISP

Oh

"Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language in widespread use today."

[sturdy ingot]

A family of programming languages that dates back to the late 50s.

[modest grove]

Excuse me

[sturdy ingot]

Yeah.

[sturdy ingot]

Either way, I mostly use Emacs' Lisp variant to configure the aforementioned editor.

I'm not really writing new software with Lisp 😄

[modest grove]

I write software mostly with Virtual Basic, Python and ASIC 5.0 since their Old and Easy to understand... Mostly...

ASIC is pretty complicated in the Advanced stuff

And also is for DOS so a bit Crappy to use

[modest grove]

°̬° just made this myself

[nocturne galleon]

Hi everyone, I decided to test the difference between .NET Core and .NET Framework (also comparing 3.0 LTS with 5.0), I created a basic app with the same XAML between all and built for release, only the Framework exec seems to be able to run without any of the other files included in its build folder, and it's significantly smaller, how come?

[modest grove]

I guess it is the Compiler

Meanwhile at Janlu HQ

[latent summit]

what is the other files in folder? My guess is that framework.exe requires external dependencies to be installed, that is why it works alone. Dotnetcore caries all dependencies, so it wouldn't matter what is installed.

[nocturne galleon]

Except it’s the framework.exe that DOESNT need any additional files, core.exe DOES, it won’t run unless I get the extra dlls with it, I would’ve thought with 10x the application size that it would be the one that didn’t need dependencies but apparently it does

[latent summit]

What i meant is that you have all the dependencies installed when you installed .NET Framework. Thats why it looks that framework.exe doesn't need any additional files. CORE frameworks by design are a lot more lean and a lot of libraries comes as NuGet packages. Thats why you have all those extra dlls

[fresh nexus]

Technically you can build Core app in such a way, that there is only one output file.

[nocturne galleon]

Aaah ok that clears it up

Thanks guys

[pliant siren]

hey peoples, I want to write a quick util over the weekend in to a node app that uses Facebook/Gmail oauth - anyone wanna recommend any npm packages (or anything else) that I can investigate to implement so I don't have too much overhead to implement myself?

[grizzled steeple]

There should be plenty of OAuth packages available on NPM. Other then that, OAuth2 is pretty easy to understand and implenet, so I don't quite see a reason why adding an external package for i-... Oh wait, we're talking about the same group of devs that use a seperate package for isOdd and isEven, one of which has the other as a dependency...

[pliant siren]

One day I want the opportunity to do
var fb = require('fizzbuzz');
fb();

[grizzled steeple]

I mean, something like that already exists for certain APIs. Take Discord for example. You can write a Discord bot pretty easily using discord.js. That's also what my Discord Bot is using.
But writing these "interfaces" for something as mundane and generalized as an OAuth API, is rather pointless tbh. It's literally one request to get the Token, and you'd just submit that Token with every subsequent request...

[latent summit]

Well for learning purposes maybe it would make sense?

turns out that from the browser, you cannot access unfiltered audio, but also the api doesn't even have capability to turn it off because it assumes the audio comes in unfiltered, because WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT

[woeful shadow]

why does it crash

        try {
            clipNameAIS = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(getClass().getResourceAsStream("gas.wav"));
            clipNameClip = AudioSystem.getClip();
            clipNameClip.open(clipNameAIS);
        }
        catch(Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Failure to load sound");
        }

        clipNameClip.setFramePosition(0);
        clipNameClip.start();```

[woeful shadow]

im trying to play adui

java 16

audio

[stone whale]

if an exception occurs within the try catch it will print a message but still try to set the frame position and start. This likely causes an exception since the clip is not set correctly.

do you have a stacktrace? that would make debugging it a lot easier

Can't use zoom, discord, all electron based app, even the chrome it self doesn't work properly even though they already had webrtc plugin with pipewire. It's stress me out for months or even a year actually

[midnight wind]

Wut, I've had not issues like that

[acoustic roost]

I also used to developing private gnome extension, but wayland doesnt allow gnome to restart

[midnight wind]

What distro?

[acoustic roost]

I'm using ubuntu 21.04

[midnight wind]

Huh

[midnight wind]

Gnome?

[acoustic roost]

yep

[midnight wind]

Huh, I'm running kde, and I had no issues with apps

And Wayland is so much snappier

[acoustic roost]

yeah, I wish I had time to switch to kde based, but I have no time migrating everything

[midnight wind]

I hate gnome tbh

Its so like tablet based

With that app thing

[acoustic roost]

Yeah everyone has their preferences

snap is crap but flatpak is way better I think

[midnight wind]

Idk much about that

Snap discord is just easier to use

Updates automatically

[acoustic roost]

I hate how heavy it is

[haughty shuttle]

so

<styles>
,myClass
display: inline;
width: 50%;
</styles>
<div class = "myClass">
</div>

like this?

[pliant siren]

Nothing about that sample is valid.

<style>
.myClass {
display: inline;
width: 50%;
}
</style>

[haughty shuttle]

Sorry? I'm used to java and c++ legit just made my first webpage yesterday

Thank you anyways

[pliant siren]

<styles> is not a thing. <style> is.
And the structure of your class definition is uhh... rather syntactically random.

[loud kelp]

Check out a stage I made for the upcoming Snap the Sentinel update https://ko-fi.com/post/Snap-the-Sentinel-Crystal-Excavation-N4N35LEAO

[honest sleet]

I made an algorithm to randomly combine body parts and select colors and shape to create random little pets 😄 ! https://fxtwitter.com/TimKrief/status/1423107307576172548

[haughty shuttle]

okay thank you for the tips ill keep that in mind

is it fine if i pm you in the future about html doubts?

[sturdy ingot]

<!-- in your <head> -->
<style>
.outer       { display: flex; flex-direction: row; }
.outer > div { width: 45%; border: 1px solid black; margin: 1%; }
</style>
<!-- in your <body>  -->
<div class="outer">
  <div>Left</div>
  <div>Right</div>
</div>

[sturdy ingot]

You'd need inline-block, not inline. width cannot be applied on inline elements, as inline elements don't introduce a block. Even then, you'd need some value slightly smaller than 50% in most browsers, as otherwise some hidding margin/padding will force the block to flow into the next line. (Unless you reset the margins/paddings to 0, like most frameworks do)

[pliant siren]

margin works in idiotic ways 😄

IE had margin right. 🙂

[sturdy ingot]

The padding and border are usually the greater problem, though, but that's manageable via box-sizing: border-box.

[sturdy ingot]

Cool! Did you use GDScript? Or did you use one of the other bindings for those?

[pliant siren]

padding is internal. It's still considered part of the object width. margin is not, which is just silly.

"hey, I have a box which is 100px wide". "So I only need 100px of space to show it?" "Well... maybe".

[sturdy ingot]

padding is not part of the width in CSS default box model, though.

width + padding + border + margin = total size. Unless you use box-sizing: border-box, then it's width + margin.

Although margins can collapse, which makes it a tad harder to work with.

[pliant siren]

oh am I thinking the other way...

so basically, it's stupid.

it's been a long time since I had to deal with that kind of thing... fortunately.

[sturdy ingot]

Either way: don't expect your site to be 100% the same on any device and you're golden.

If you really want to have the exact same experience on any device, provide a PDF (with embedded fonts).

[honest sleet]

Gdscript 😃,

I optimized my code and it can niw run at 144fps on medium hardware

[red mulch]

honestly don't expect it to be the same on the same device

[red mulch]

voicemeeter.remote(kind_id, delay=0.015)
Factory function for remotes. delay specifies a cooldown time after every command in seconds. Returns a VMRemote based on the kind_id.
Use it with a context manager

all caps rant got removed - the default delay is fucking 30ms

not zero.

why the hell would you put a delay on your API call. just... do wtf I asked, and let me do stuff

[fickle verge]

I wanna ask in python is there a way to preserve timestamps when copying files over on windows

[pliant mason]

oh hey, guys, i wanna learn java, so any suggestions for books?

[red mulch]

Lol books

There is an entire internet right there

[humble hemlock]

try codecademy or something thats pretty good for getting started

[somber jackal]

E

[pliant siren]

Actually yes. The OCP books are actually quite good, and I can highly recommend "Concurrent Programming in Java" (Lea)

ISBN-13: 978-0201310092 ... holy crap it's over 20 years old!

When I did the OCA/OCP Java 8 exams I did nothing but read these two over once then sit the exam in like the space of a week.

https://www.amazon.com/OCA-OCP-Java-Programmer-Certification/dp/1119272092/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=OCA+Java&qid=1628499709&s=books&sr=1-1

I think it was something like Start reading on Saturday, sit the OCA exam on Wednesday, and for the OCP exam I think I did it the following Friday?

This was the other one I was trying to recall the name of which I'd recommend.

https://www.amazon.com/Effective-Java-Joshua-Bloch/dp/0134685997/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=bloch+java&qid=1628499915&s=books&sr=1-1

[grizzled steeple]

If you're German, you can get the book "Java ist auch eine Insel" (Java is also an island). It's like the German Java Bible so to say...

[swift yacht]

Anyone has an answer for this

[narrow turret]

prototype declare

[nocturne galleon]

Yo, people here know Java?

[haughty shuttle]

a normal text editor can read .txt just like .c .py etc because theyre encoded in utf 8 regardless of the extension right?

[ornate tulip]

Uh yes

什么事

[rose pulsar]

yeah .c and .py and .java etc files will open in any text editor

[hollow basalt]

what's java

[haughty shuttle]

aight just wanted to confirm

[nocturne galleon]

It's a language, like English.

[hollow basalt]

What country

Okay, can you give me a program question where Function Overloading would be useful?

I learnt what it is, how to use it, and stuff-

Now I need a question which I can try to solve using Function Overloading.

I used it in an Area program, any other example like this?

[vestal spire]

Hi, I'm wondering if there's a way to get data from my own Facebook page? An example of the data I want would be post reaches, interacts, etc. of EACH individual posts. Is it possible?

[minor crag]

Should be possible with some form of web scraping, although a better solution to look for would be to see if Facebook has an api for such thing. . .

[glad radish]

yo. i am thinking about getting into mobile and ui dev. And I was wondering if there is anyone here who has used flutter and can recommend for or against it. Or maybe if you have used another application and can recommend it to me I would appreciate it. Thanks

[obtuse night]

I've used it a little before. I've found if you want to create a basic app, flutter is quite easy to use, however if you are willing to learn a lot, I'd say React Native is a bit better. That being said, this was my experience from over a year ago. Things may be different now, or others may have different experiences

[spring pond]

depending on what device you have i strongly recommend SwiftUI on iOS or Jetpack Compose on Android

if you dont care too much about cross-platform portability

[glad radish]

i dont think i will be working on iOS yet so ill use Jetpack compose

thx

[red mulch]

iOS is basically the worst thing ever, and I want to stab myself in the eye

but for the moment, I'm working on this interface app, and the MS reference docs for the runtime API are really quite good

I am a winrar!

[red mulch]

blahhhhhhhh

chrome doesn't let you change position with winrt, only play/pause as far as I can see

works perfectly with spotify

[spring pond]

not sure if you're talking about end-user experience or programmer experience, but for the latter case I've loved working with SwiftUI recently. The end-user experience is more subjective so idk.

[red mulch]

if you are working within what apple wants you do to, it's pretty good. If you try to take any step outside what they think is the right thing - it becomes obscenely difficult.

The microphone feed provided in webrtc is a processed feed, regardless of options. On every other system ever, you ask for audio, you get audio - if you want processing, you have to do it or ask for it. What this means in reality is that if you are trying to do music over webrtc (in a conference - the behaviour is different if it is purely playback) is that the gain control / frequency limiting applies and changes the sound during the conference. It also does NOT support stereo, and will cause horrific feedback if it's enabled.

[spring pond]

ill be honest ive never worked with audio on any platform, but that doesnt sound fun

[red mulch]

File "C:\Users\Matt\Google Drive\code\xtouchinterface\windows_rt_media.py", line 137, in prev
await session
TypeError: object _winrt_Windows_Media_Control.GlobalSystemMediaTransportControlsSession can't be used in 'await' expression

lol. cause of error: looks like I just got bored and didn't finish typing out the rest of the code for that function

Interestingly enough, winrt doesn't expose the volume of a media player. Also, chrome winrt does play/pause, and information, that's it

[upper yarrow]

so cargo will just compile and link all rs files in a src directory? its not like make and gcc where you have to specify which files to compile?
