my spell failed me

[dapper niche]

yeah I thought about it, but I can't really see anything wrong with what's circled.

[solar torrent]

i wish that loop condition was <= num.. I'd have been satisfied it's that ;d

[dapper niche]

think it comes down to what they define as "error"

[frosty sequoia]

show me the wizard skills master

[solar torrent]

💯 I think so too, maybe it doesn't have any syntax error in the previous slide or anything

Maybe cuz user can provide a letter instead of a number there could be an error or something

Haven't done any c++ since my first or second year, i miss seeing that cout ;-;

[frosty sequoia]

btw is there any problem with using namespace std; so i dont have to type std every time or should i stop being lazy

[warped oxide]

i use it, but here is the argument against: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1452721/why-is-using-namespace-std-considered-bad-practice

[solar torrent]

In the past I recall I read something related to it, it's about including 2 libraries that both have the name space std

but i don't remember what it was exactly

[tepid aurora]

blender would work just fine for that, so long as you have your experience.

[remote steeple]

that's normal

we don't count from 1 as programmers unless you use something like lua

[frosty sequoia]

thx

[frosty sequoia]

sounds really complicated to my fried brain

[glacial charm]

Alright, thank you guyssss, will let you know after class @solar torrent @dapper niche

[solar torrent]

😭

can you pls show the previous slide

plsss 😭

curiosity

[solar torrent]

Read the link sabrina sent tho you will get it, using the entire namespace it get's all its code block into your code, so you don't have to mention the namespace you're using like std::cout

if you have 2 different namespaces X and Y, if they both have methods or a functions in common called fc(), which one do you think the program will use in this case? the function in X or the function in Y? so they say happens a conflict.

Another comment in sabrina's link saying: Whether you like shorter or longer prose is subjective, but the prefixes objectively add clarity to the code. Not only the compiler, but you, too, find it easier to see which identifier is referred to.

If it's a good practice and you like C++ maybe it'd be a good idea to start adopting it then

[glacial charm]

the previous slide doesnt matter that much, it declares a[10]

@solar torrent my lecturer didnt answer me QQ nvm i will ask him again

[solar torrent]

oh damn ;-;

I don't remember c++ but i think there are pbs with specifying a variable as int then user providing a string or float maybe?

I think that causes error?

I don't have c++ on rn so can't check tbh but could be that

[dapper niche]

right, but why is i++ circled? I can't think of a reason lol

[remote steeple]

maybe they wanted ++i

I don't see any other reason unless they explain themselves

[warped oxide]

it feels like it's one of those math problems you see go around on social media that has people fighting in the comments

during the for loop the first print statement will be "Enter number 0". I assume they want the student to understand that arrays start at index 0

changing it to have ++i in the for loop instead does not change the first print statement to "Enter number 1". It'll still print "Enter number 0"

I have no idea what the issue the problem pictured could have since there isn't more information

A hypothetical problem you could have would be if the array is smaller than the conditions but that's not an issue with i++

if this is a ++i or i++ debate the problem demonstrates it poorly

++i adds then returns and i++ returns then adds

the position of where you place the incrementor is important

[oblique gulch]

i hope im not interrupting anything, but do you guys actually use pseudocode or flowcharts before writing a program or do you just start coding and figure things out along the way? im doing my second semester as a cs student so idk if this is a silly question

[warped oxide]

if the prof wants the first print statement to be "Enter number 1" you would put the ++i incrementor here

for(int i = 0; i < num;)
      {
        cout <<"Enter number " <<++i <<endl;
        cin >> a[i];
      }

@glacial charm did you get an answer after all?

I'm all done now @oblique gulch don't worry

[remote steeple]

its preference but i do enjoy planning things out. as you gain more experience, the less implementation details you have to plan out if that makes sense

i dont use any specific flowchat/pseudocode program but a flowchart is helpful for planning out what you want to do

[warped oxide]

pseudocode or flowcharts as they taught it in school, no
but for larger projects i do brainstorm it out with a list of steps to do and how classes etc will connect. it's essential for efficient workflow and if you're in a job to show the client or work with your team on huge projects

for classroom problems it's good to think about how you would program it before you start so you don't end up in a sunk cost fallacy going down one route that doesn't work all that well and then need to program around it. also it's time efficient to think up a possible outline of the program so you can just program and not think "how do i do the next step" and keep on exiting that programming flow you had before. doing it this way is not essential but it is an indicator of success that i see with the students i tutor

[oblique gulch]

alr cool thanks for the replies. was just curious. in hindsight i spend way too much time trying to figure out why certain things dont work after trying to code something, so maybe i should try to plan ahead a bit

[warped oxide]

brainstorming doesn't have to be elaborate, you can literally jot down next to a part of the problem "while loop maybe?" and that could save you a half hour. it's just about the metacognition skill and this translates outside of coding into other studies and daily life. if you've written an essay outline, this is the same thing

[dapper niche]

Flowcharting is useful to help you learn because exposing the same information in multiple different ways is almost always good for learning. As an experienced programmer, I don't do any of that stuff anymore -- neither pseudocode nor flowcharting. A lot of "professional" programming is not that complex from a codepath logic perspective. It becomes more translating business requirements to technology available and simplifying everything so that it becomes more maintainable and testable.

The last point is what I would emphasize if any beginner is spending too much time figuring out why something doesn't work -- focus on making your code testable. Implement a very small part of your code and then test it. Then repeat. Make everything into small modules that you can test along the way. You'll never run into the situation of "why is this output not what I expect" for too long with that approach.

[oblique gulch]

thanks for the insight. my professor has had us get started with modules not too long ago so i will hopefully not have to spend too much troubleshooting from here on out

[shut bough]

anyone have any quick tips for dumb phone shopping LOL

[bleak jetty]

my monitor keeps dying, with half hazard screen which shows very bright colours and other half with normal colours, give me some help before i inevitably go to the repair shop

[remote steeple]

bring it to a repair shop

[torpid obsidian]

Any one knows why my windows 10 laptop was running letraly any game best graphic at high fps...
And all of sudden it can't even run simple game on low setting with good fps...and i mean every single game anyone know a solution?

[remote steeple]

bring it to a repair shop

[torpid obsidian]

Already did dude said he will add another hard disc and it will be faster than ever...but nothing changed🤡💔

Guys if i learned html,css and js.
Wpuld i find a job or can i make money from those 3 or i will need more languages to start making money?
Can web dev even give me some cash or learning it is just a waste of time?
I'm a dental student but trying to earn momey from any sidr hustle.
Rn i know some basics of css and html but don't know if it worth to continue or shall i search for another field or skill to learn?

[dapper niche]

this situation is either some disruptive software that got recently installed (intentionally or not) or some kind of thermal situation. If you download some software to monitor your thermals, it might give you an idea of what's going on (dust build up or fan stuck). Adding a hard disc is such a ridiculous idea in this situation. They sound like they don't know what they're doing at all...

Another potential is if your laptop is running from the integrated graphics instead of discrete somehow. Or, it's somehow running in power saving mode as if your power wasn't connected or something.

[dapper niche]

If you're doing it as a side-thing, your income will be purely based on your business savvy and ability to acquire clients. It's highly unlikely you'll be able to get a regular job with it. But that's speaking from my region. I don't know about your location. Otherwise, yes, there's money to be made in web dev if you're committed to being very good at it. I don't think that'll be possible for you since your main focus is dental school. Maybe some form of IT support would be easier to get a side job in.

[torpid obsidian]

Many many thanks bro really appreciate ur help❤️❤️❤️
Thank u for ur time

[dapper niche]

any time!

[remote steeple]

i don't think it's worth chasing freelance jobs with basic html/css/js (but as tashi said depending on region). a lot of those jobs are heavily competed with by people from low income regions, so the pay is very bad. and for the niche more specialized freelance jobs, you're better off just full timing in the industry if you somehow manage to get those skills

[torpid obsidian]

Alright thank u so much 🫡

[oblique gulch]

the three things i can think of are getting any dust out of your system, and afterwards possibly removing your old thermal paste and applying fresh paste, and finally making sure your computer's drivers (especially graphics drivers since you're talking about games) are up to date. what games are you trying to run anyway?

[torpid obsidian]

Before that fps drop happen my laptop was able to run games like sekiro at max graphic...
Now My hero academia ultra rumble.csgo and anyother old game have a really really bad fps🥲

[oblique gulch]

try updating your gpu drivers first if you haven't already. if that doesn't work, clean out the dust. you might have to repaste your system, but if your laptop was able to run a game like sekiro, the paste likely isn't that old, but who knows. if both those don't solve your issues, then idk what will

[torpid obsidian]

Okay i will try both solutions thx mate🫡❤️

[oblique gulch]

np, let us know how it goes. hopefully your laptop runs well again

[torpid obsidian]

Upgrading GPU really incresed fps not too high but it's way better than before upgrading it... thx😍

[dapper niche]

is it as high as it was originally?

[torpid obsidian]

No not even close😂

Wounder why heat is too high even tho i didn't open any app+i do changed my fan it was broken and changed the paste

[dapper niche]

you found out the fan was broken just now and fixed it? did that fix everything then? I don't understand what you just said completely

[torpid obsidian]

No no i mean it was broken like 6 months ago .
But when i fixed it and changed the paste nothing has changed...or i can say still not working as good as original

[dapper niche]

what I would do is monitor your temps and FPS when you load your game and start. if it instantly goes to an extremely high temperature, that might tell you something. You should verify that your MX130 GPU is being loaded in games instead of the CPU integrated graphics

[torpid obsidian]

I will check that. Thx

[remote steeple]

are you sure it was that laptop

mx130 is not that powerful

running low fps is normal

[dapper niche]

haha, was sorta thinking the same thing

[torpid obsidian]

Yup it was the same laptop😭 dont know how

[acoustic lava]

does someone see what is wrong?

this is notion by the way... it worked like lituarly 30 min ago and now it doesnt work anymore

it worked for 3 months

[dapper niche]

the error message says that you provided 1 argument instead of 3 for the first "If"

you can see that after your first toNumber("") you have an extra closing paren that "ends" the If method

I'm guessing you don't want that last paren

I've never used Notion before, so just a guess. If that doesn't solve it, try simplifying it. Reduce, reduce until it works.

[acoustic lava]

Oké thank you

The thing is I didn’t write that code

sadly it doesnt work and idk what and how to solve it

[dapper niche]

can you link where you got it from?

and what do you expect it to do? also might be easier if you paste the text instead of an image

[acoustic lava]

i want that it looks like this

and thats the code from him

and i downloaded it from his youtube video

its from kaynotebook

[idle dew]

Does anyone use Java here?

[crimson prairie]

i m buying a i3 11th gen laptop msi morder 14 can it run some games at low fps low settings

[odd bay]

probably some simple games depending a little on the vram of the GPU

[dapper niche]

I mean, your code from him looks different from what you pasted to us originally. you have deadline == deadline...so maybe try fixing that part. Also, yours doesn't say prop, but maybe that's not needed anymore?

[minor shard]

***Can anyone suggest me a topic related to computer science for a 10 min presentation 🙏. Except - flutter ,AI,neuralink,cyber security

[dapper niche]

who's your audience?

[minor shard]

just classmates , computer sci students ( first year)

how about
Web Development: Frontend and Backend Technologies ?

[open solstice]

works

ml is interesting

maybe image processing

computer graphics

networks

operating systems

theory of computation

programming languages

[dapper niche]

for first year students...maybe how to use source control (probably git) or how virtual machines work or how to use virtual machine software

the most valuable topics will be ones that the schools don't teach, but they can put them to practical use immediately

IDE tips and tricks or useful extensions

auto code clean up or linter tools

unit testing

regular expressions

[raw iris]

debugging

[shrewd heron]

i think source control and debugging are two of the best ones

[dapper niche]

debugging is important, but if school doesn't teach you that from the beginning, i'd ask for a refund haha

[solar torrent]

hey guys just wanted to say something to people new to programming or everyone in general, i'm not an expert but it's something i used to fall into a lot in the past and still do when learning new things but trying to reduce it

you don't need to know everything to start, if you started learning python or java or C# or any programming language, learning the basics of the language like variables, loops, functions and OOP is so enough, sometimes even the OOP is not needed to start doing something, don't bore yourself or overcomplicate anything on yourself.

cuz python is my favorite i'll say example about it, if u alrdy learnt the basics not OOP, you could start googling libraries for the purpose u want, simple communication CLI program=> you'll mostly need sockets module and couple of other modules to add functionalities, if u wanna make it gui without oop u can make it a simple Tkinter app, if u learnt OOP, could go for pyside or kivy..

set a goal and look for libraries related to it and start getting your hands dirty with the code, then you'll see you lack a lot of information, it's okay google it and start learning what you lack.

Don't wait too much to start doing anything. Don't get stuck in a studying/reading loop, create something, and it's easy when you're alrdy familiar with the language, all you'll need to do is start learning the modules needed to build what you want.

[dapper niche]

"paralysis by analysis" and being overwhelmed by choices where you just end up not doing or choosing anything

very real

[solar torrent]

worst of all when u r a curious person and love learning specially about cs, u find everything cool and wanna learn everything ;x and i have met many people who are very very knowledgeable in different things in cs, but everyone starts somewhere, best is to start and do something then gradually learn and practice

In the past, be4 internet and computers, ppl didn't find many things to do except few things, medicine, engineering, law, art and these things, and they didn't like the few choices, now there are endless topics specially in computer science and we have this paralysis 😂 looks like people will never be satisfied

[dapper niche]

no, people are generally happier with fewer choices

https://www.amazon.com/Paradox-Choice-Why-More-Less/dp/149151423X

old, but often referenced book

referring to your specific comment of "they didn't like the few choices"

[solar torrent]

well myself im unhappy with too many choices, so i agree with u ;p maybe i should've said unhappy with less opportunities

will add that book to my reading list tho 💯 hope it has some solutions

[dapper niche]

I read it many years ago, so I don't remember it has solutions or it just describes the problem

[remote steeple]

yeah too much choices is definitely not a good thing for beginners lol, "what is best language to learn" "is react worse than ${new trend} to learn" "should i learn js or python" "what is best course for python". "will learning basic html css js land me a job?" these are are the same types of questions asked everyday.

people spend more time 'optimizing' instead of learning, when if they used that time to learn, they will end up much further along.

[sullen zenith]

boys boys im lookin to get a new laptop for school ( my old laptop died after like a decade ) . i need something that'll last. any suggestions 😳

[raw iris]

sometimes the best option is to just toss a coin when picking these things

rather than dwelling on the options and weighing the pros and cons it'd be more important to just start now

[night turret]

just get an m1 macbook air, u can get it used on ebay or from any computer mall if u live in a country where those are a thing

[stoic harbor]

I use to buy used think pads, they’re durable and easy to fix

[rustic birch]

GUYS SOS did any one take Calculus for Machine Learning and Data Science???

[sullen zenith]

thank you😳

[remote steeple]

m1 air is really good value even new with the base model but that depends on your usage and stuff, if you’re just browsing the web and doing microsoft words it’s enough

[sullen zenith]

what about more recent laptops like the m2 macbook air or the 11th x1 carbon

Hey guys I’m starting community college for cs and I was wondering what online courses/classes/videos you would recommend. Thx

anyone know what his x1 carbon specs are?

at least remove mr robot's pic 😭 ....

idk whenever i see things like this i just laugh a lot, it's always funny to me

Thank u i'll check it out❤️

[idle dew]

has talking abt james' x1 carbon

[idle dew]

why not use linux

[ebon sphinx]

School wants me to use Windows server 2019

At home i usually use Ubuntu Server but i cant now

[idle dew]

i know 0 powershell in that case

[solar torrent]

can u ask the question with more details? also is it ok to use Python instead? wdym "import the csv into a server and extract all the users"?

Do you want to extract the users column to stdout? or save it to a text file or what exactly?

if powershell is a necessity, maybe try to replicate this, https://lazyadmin.nl/powershell/import-csv-powershell/#:~:text=When working with PowerShell we,a custom object in PowerShell.

[ebon sphinx]

No, I can only use PowerShell, sadly. I mean, I have a CSV file from a database with users and their info that needs to be added to my Active Directory OU: All_Departments.
It's so they can login to client pc's and so on. I have to write a Powershell script that does this with New-Aduser.

I'll check out the link thank you!

If you want i can share my CSV and my OU structure it doesnt contain any personal info it's all made up for this project so it's fine

[autumn swift]

Hi guys, Im a AI uni student.

Next month, I am planning about 1000$ on buying tech stuff. Im thinking about a macbook, a iphone and a ipad in an ideal situation.

Im going to use it through my 4-year uni. My purpose is simple:

-Phone for checking email, coursera and communicating with neccessary people via Zalo (an application in my country similar to Messenger)
-Ipad for only learning Coursera.
-Macbook for coding, learning and working only.

So can you give pls give my some advices on choosing appropriate device with my usage. Thank you

[remote steeple]

1000 is not enough for what you want unless you buy all used stuff

the iPhone alone will take up 500 even used unless you go really old model

maybe go with something other than apple

[raw iris]

there is no particular reason for you to buy apple products. I would also not recommend just buying a bunch of devices when a decent laptop can do all of those things and better. For $1000 you can get recent models from good manufacturers

Get a laptop first and foremost

[autumn swift]

I just think apple gives me the best experience while using their device, and i dont need the high spec at all.

That why i think of apple product first

btw im now using my 150$ fujitsu laptop and it works perfectly for my school job, so i think a macbook will do its job better.

thats what im thinking rn, so i dunno if in the long way, a good laptop will serve me better or sth

[muted grail]

hey guys, is buying a macbook worth it? i’m going back from the us to my home country in february and debating if i should take a macbook with me or just buy pc parts and take it to brazil to build a pc there. both options will be good savings comparing to buying anything in brazil

[silent zephyr]

Depends on what you’re planing on using a pc/MacBook for. Is it for work/job related things, are you planing to game?

[muted grail]

i game casually and mostly light games. yet i want to be able to play a fps game when my friends invite me, but it doesn’t need to run perfectly. but it will be mostly used for work and study.

[stone narwhal]

MacBook can handle csgo and TFT
but it doesn't have valorant support, which fps game you wanna play exactly?

[sullen zenith]

im in high-school right now and i wanna do computer science for college. would you think the m2 macbook air would work well and last until then or are there any other laptops i should look into?

[idle dew]

Definitely also pick the 16 gb model it's so worth it

[stone narwhal]

16 gb?

isn't this too low?

[idle dew]

I mean idk ur budget, obv maxed out is the best, but I meant if you consider getting the 8 gb model the 16 gb is very worth it for the price

[sullen zenith]

what about non macos devices like thinkpads etc. ?

[hot fable]

m2 may not be the best if it's your only computer because a lot of curriculum still require x86 arch for courses on assembly/OS programming

[hot mica]

most people dont need more than 16 gb imo

[sullen zenith]

what laptops would you recommend in that case?

[hot mica]

thinkpads are nice. i'd personally value battery life and energy consumption over most things in a laptop

[stone narwhal]

am I just on another page or ?? MacBook m2 doesn't comes below 256Gbs?

ah f okay
you all talking about ram

[hot mica]

haha yeah

[stone narwhal]

I thought storage lol

[hot mica]

what's your budget?

[stone narwhal]

ThinkPad ⬆️

[hot mica]

its a big misconception that you need to spend thousands of dollars on a good laptop for comp sci

[sullen zenith]

dawg i don't even know it depends on how my mom is feeling on that particular day ;-;

[stone narwhal]

just get a macbook bro, it's the best for coding and stuff
you will never suffer any lag even in the 8gb RAM model

it doesn't heats up much, have a great battery life, have awesome build quality to last a decade, and the keyboard+ the big touchpad

it's a W for it's price

[hot mica]

acer aspire 5, lenovo ideapad, acer Aspire Vero 15

[sullen zenith]

so a macbook air m2 with 16gb is fine?

[stone narwhal]

forgot to add it's very lightweight to carry

[stone narwhal]

absolutely

[hot mica]

great laptop but i personally prefer windows

[stone narwhal]

my brother uses it

it's fire

[sullen zenith]

aight thanks man I'll look into it

thanks boys

[hot mica]

np 🙌

i personally use an old laptop that my dad got 5 years ago

but i upgraded everything inside and optimized it

[stone narwhal]

I mean, if you wanna play games macbook is a big nono

I myself have a Asus Rog

it's very good a/c to it's price

[sullen zenith]

I completely forgot to ask about this but I've been using windows my whole life so is it worth it to buy a macbook and learn how to use macos or should I just go for a thinkpad ?

[stone narwhal]

if you have enough budget you can definitely go for macbook, macOS is very user friendly, you will get used to it in short amount of time :)

it's just the touchpad gestures, if you learn it, you can do things faster, but if you don't you can do it in normal way

[frosty sequoia]

the probelm with macbooks is that a lot of quality of life apps are paid you have to know this

in the price of that macbook i'd personally recommend thinkpad x1 carbon 9th gen

[solar torrent]

hmm Idk rly I hope the article helps u, maybe chatgpt or colleagues would be a good idea, collaborating is nice

[autumn swift]

I agree! I think if u learn deeply into the computer structure, u will realise that u dont need that much of specs

[autumn swift]

how about its battery life compared to macbook

[stoic harbor]

I use both macbook and thinkpad (both lower end models), and I think for development I've ran into less trouble with macbook, but in terms of durability and battery life the ThinkPad is better

tho Ive heard great things about the m1/m2, Im thinking of getting either as my next it's just why is apple so expensive 😭

[autumn swift]

im curious, how do u define lower end models laptop and which devices did u use ?

[stoic harbor]

I can't remember the exact models both very old, the mb air is lower end because its the cheapest air with lowest ram and hard drive options. As for the thinkpad I think its the E series

[vapid dock]

anyone here from SEA know a reliable source to get used thinkpads for a reasonable price?

I cant seem to find a place to purchase used thinkpads esp for the more well known ones like the x61, x220, t430, etc

[silent zephyr]

For people that use The forest app, when you close your phone, does the timer still run?

[sullen zenith]

right as i was thinking of getting the m2 macbook air there are speculations of an m3 macbook air dropping soon ;-;

should I wait or ?

[hot fable]

get the m2 if you need it rn but wait if you don’t. computers come out every year so you’ll be waiting forever for the “best”

[raw iris]

the model and make of your device matters so little except for the few edge cases where you need specific specs, in my class people have anything from 5y old acer laptops to the latest macbook pros and it's such a tiny factor in how good you do

the quality of your sleep might even be more important

[dapper niche]

^^^ exactly. IMO, the main thing to look for isn't even performance specs, but comfort -- screen size, resolution, antiglare or not, and aspect ratio.

[stoic harbor]

I do think if you use your laptop heavily you should invest a bit more into specs. Why? because I was just trying to download a reading in class, and the way my fans roared 😅 , I felt like you couldn't even hear the professor talking, and now this moment will live rent free in my head forever.

[raw iris]

my point is that the specific machine you use is less of an obstacle than many people assume. Just by seeing so many people ask about what specific device to buy for school. Sure you can have preferences, but I would not invest the extra time, research or money to min max the laptop purchase. It’ll always be more important to just work on your skills on any device that can run reliably. Everything else is just nice-to-haves and whatnot

Plus you get readjusted to screen sizes, keyboards layouts and all that stuff so quick - it‘s weird now for me going back to my big monitor whenever I‘m back home

[dapper niche]

you're generally more productive when you have to scroll less, etc.

[warped oxide]

I have exclusively used various MacBook pros/Mac mini/ MacBook Air/Mac Studio and various Lenovo and IBM thinkpads (with windows and Linux) for the past 13 years until I recently built a pcvr gaming desktop (windows). I use my Mac mini and an old iMac I fixed as the monitor for photo and video editing, zoom tutoring, coding and regular daily use. I need a good file manager and color accurate monitor and I love the style of macOS along with all the other apple product integrations. My thinkpads come out when I need to go somewhere or use a windows specific program or the Linux ones when I need my networking tools

I agree with Lyy. The best computer is the one you will use. If you know you will have specific needs like a CAD program you use often needing a recommended 16gb of ram then find a computer that does that for you. If you need a super light laptop because you’re always on the go then that’s your top priority. For me, macs let me be efficient, meets my needs and as a plus I love the hardware and os. That M1 chip is FAST at video processing

I will say that the newer Lenovo thinkpads are not as well built as the older IBM ones. The older ones are pretty useless unless you like retro tech or want a home server or other Linux based application. But just to let you know that the new Lenovo ones are much more delicate. I had a fan break on an x1 carbon a year after I bought it. Easy fix but really annoying :/

i need a c compiler for my Macos 11.7 4 GB of ram
anyone got a good not heavy c compiler?

[autumn swift]

where r u ? i got a bunch of these

Im in VietNam, i used to find these products in Facebook group

while they took laptops from old company and sold them for collectors

[raw iris]

This is fun, I feel like there is a lot of value in just putting your own requirements out there. I just have one lightweight laptop these days for my Masters degree cuz I live on the go and can‘t carry around a bunch of devices. I used to have a powerful Desktop PC, macbook air, old and new thinkpads, an iMac. It just wouldn’t be of use to me in my current situation. Albeit I miss my GPU heavy activities like 3D modelling and gaming

[fathom vine]

So I was thinking of buying the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G14 14” 165Hz Gaming Laptop QHD- AMD Ryzen 9 with 16GB Memory-NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060-512GB SSD - Moonlight White. What are y’all’s opinion on it? Do y’all think it’s too expensive for what I’m getting ($1599.99)?

[idle dew]

No thats a great deal

[sullen zenith]

I think I'm just gonna go for the 13inch m2 macbook air

with 16 gigs and a 512 ssd

[hot fable]

gcc and vim

[idle dew]

you should use gcc or clang, but there are other options like 8cc and tcc

tcc is in the official brew repo

you can also try compiling https://github.com/rui314/8cc from source

[jade summit]

no good ones on ebay?

[reef parcel]

Any good laptops recommendations? (for programming of course)

[warped oxide]

you can program on any laptop it's more about the OS. think about which languages you want to program in and which IDEs would be the best and then choose the OS that is best for that IDE. Then think about which projects you want to attempt. Coding and hosting your own LLM has different gpu and storage requirements than programming a microcontroller. In general I recommend mac and linux over windows unless you're programming in C# or are a game dev. others will have different opinions and that's okay. use what you have until it hinders your efficiency

[vapid dock]

they are mostly replacement parts

ebay isnt that popular in malaysia sadly\

[vapid dock]

i could go try to find on facebook, though i need to recover my dead fb account from 7 years ago 😭

[vapid dock]

i found a t470 with a i7, 940mx graphics and 8gigs of ram for 190 us

is it a decent deal or nah

[raw iris]

I don't know the model but it sounds pretty good to me based on the parts. Remember tho that you'll wanna buy a fresh SSD with that

[jade summit]

Sounds decent. On US eBay, that's going for $222 including shipping

Compared to new computers, it's a steal

[dapper niche]

sounds like a good deal if you need the dedicated graphics. don't get too caught up on i5 vs i7, etc. usually doesn't matter much on a laptop due to thermals. aside from that, an i7 might be slower than an i5 or i3 from a new generation, etc.

[vapid dock]

i see, ill save up for it

Does anyone know of any retro-looking gaming monitors?

[lime ridge]

define gaming monitors here, as if you go back to an old kinescope monitor, it has better refresh rate than most gaming monitors now 😄

[glossy bobcat]

Instead of searching "gaming" monitor, where companies just add an extra $200 because it has the word "gaming" in it. Instead just search for a monitor you should look for retro monitor that has the specification that you're looking for

[tall cosmos]

I dont know why you'd want a retro looking monitor with "gaming specs" by gaming do you mean 144hz? 2k? 4k? 90hz? 120hz? gotta be specific man, Also I dont youll find any old looking monitor with high specs that we might define as a "gaming monitor"

[solar torrent]

Is this GPT-4?

[oblique gulch]

im probably a bit late on this but you need to make sure you have a c/cpp compiler installed and to have configured your launch.json file to have a c launch and attach option. the compiler you need will depend on what operating system you use. idk about the other OSs but i use gcc on my linux machines

sorry that was the AEKII, here's the page for the original, looks like much less info sadly

i don't think it came with other switch types like the AEKII did

besides an alps skcl lock switch for the caps lock key it says

[barren oasis]

Is anyone highly intrested in cybersecurity, more specifically NFC connections? I have question about specific model of NFC tag and possibility of bypassing its security and decrypting its data

[barren oasis]

Quick disclaimer before I get banned: not doing anything illegall, but i have to provide my boss of how easy is it to unlock this certain tag, we store lots of sensitive data, and this guy is considering upgrade of whole security system

[raw iris]

I study cybersecurity, have however not specifically dealt with NFC to a great extend. Depending on the question I might be able to give some general advise tho

[warped oxide]

sure, i'll bite. you'll be able to clone and bypass these locks with a flipper zero or a proxmark

[barren oasis]

Flipper doesnt work

[barren oasis]

Thank you for replying @raw iris ill elaborate on the issue tomorrow

[warped oxide]

which keycard are you using?

and do you have a proxmark handy?

[barren oasis]

Thanks for joining the discussion sabrina

So the tags we are using are mifare desfire ev2

[warped oxide]

oh, those are pretty secure

[barren oasis]

I got proxmark but its not the case here

[warped oxide]

they have like a special handshake if i remember correctly and can't be cloned

[barren oasis]

Its hard but its possible, the question is how hard

[warped oxide]

heat death of the universe hard

[barren oasis]

I was scooping some info on tor since cant find any reliable thread on the web, if some of you got some good sources u can share

[warped oxide]

it has AES-128 encryption

front page of google can give you all the info you need

[barren oasis]

I want to try some bigass powerfull magnet tommorrow and brute force it like that lmao

Sometimes those lags bug during that circumstance

But im afraid it need some Deep level programming to Access the data rly

[warped oxide]

that would wipe it i believe

[barren oasis]

Yeah boss just wants to know if the storage is breachable

I can even use a Hammer to get in

(Thats a joke)

[barren oasis]

Yeah im diving On that rn

Wondering if theres a way to interefare

[warped oxide]

desfire is secure, you would worry about training people to not let anyone in behind them and physical security now

[barren oasis]

Between these 2 signals

[warped oxide]

there will always be bypasses, you are trying to make yourself look like a hard target and not worth it

[barren oasis]

Yeah i told him that but the things is we use multiple tags, there are multiple entries and locks

And the place is on huge space

Its very hard to coordinate

The stuff, and maintaing security

[warped oxide]

nothing is 100% secure, your job should be to make it as secure as is needed for the information and making yourself not an easy target

[barren oasis]

He wants to do this with least ammount of workforce

[warped oxide]

then the card you want to go with would be the one

and spend money on training your employees to not fail a physical pentest

[barren oasis]

Ok anyways, i gotta go now, thanks Sabrina, uve been wonderfull

Cyu

[warped oxide]

you're very welcome. see you at defcon next august

[barren oasis]

Haha

[barren oasis]

That would require time and resources

But on the other hand upgrading whole system would cost a lot too

[warped oxide]

both are necessary

[barren oasis]

He basically wants to have black and white answer from me

[warped oxide]

you could pitch it as saving millions in private ip to competitors if you're in private sector

always pitch improvements to bosses as a security person in how much money could be saved or lost

they speak in dollars

[barren oasis]

In which aspect should he invest rn

[warped oxide]

not cyber and physical security

if locks are currently bad - locks
if employees are clicking on spam emails and not badging in - people

[barren oasis]

Bb Sab ill read tommorrow

[warped oxide]

there are companies that do email pentests for you that aren't expensive on a business's budget

please don't shorten my name, it's weird

[barren oasis]

And ill remember this

[warped oxide]

but yeah ttyl

[barren oasis]

Im just trapped in idea of always finding solution to a given problem

Which sometimes is unsolvable

[warped oxide]

you also don't want to make something so hard or cumbersome that your employees wont follow

[barren oasis]

Yeah i can do it mindest

Mindset

[warped oxide]

that's another problem i see in security teams. you have to toe the line between secure and convenient. if it's too much of a hassle employees will just ignore it or bypass it themselves

[warped oxide]

if you want to learn more in your free time here's a guy i like, he's a dev for the proxmark3: https://www.youtube.com/@iceman1001/videos
you're not going to find a way to crack the desfire ev2 from him tho lol

[oblique gulch]

dude, you can code on just about any modern desktop or laptop so don't worry about specs too much. as an anecdote, i started coding on a thinkpad x220 which had an old af second gen, dual core i5 and 8gb of ram, and it was fine. to answer your question though, the t480 will be more than enough for doing college cs work. you can stay with the hp you have, which if you're correct and the hp has the same specs (im focusing on the cpu here), the hp will likely outperform the thinkpad anyway, as the Intel uhd 620 graphics aren't very good, at least not for gaming.

[warped oxide]

^^yes. specs only matter if you're gonna host something yourself or are going to be working with heavy CAD/game/simulation programs. if it's just for getting through undergraduate programming classes and general education classes you're solid

always get as much storage as you can tho. paying for cloud storage is wack

[idle dew]

I'm sure the most effective way to find answers is through chat gpt

[tall cosmos]

if you use chatgpt without knowing the majority of the solution you set yourself up for failure because you wont know when it makes a mistake and you can try feeding it the debug error log but most of the time it'll fail to give you the correct answer. ChatGpt4 is only good for HIGH speed code creation

hi everyone! i need some advice. i started my first year of uni (electrical and computer engineering) and I'm learning C. it's been really hard for me to learn it, so i was looking for some help. i already bought a book recommended by my professor (its not enough ;-;)

[dapper niche]

take one step at a time. one smallest step. when you're introduced to something, don't move on to the next thing until you "master" it.

by mastering it, I mean...

• start asking a lot of questions about it
• write code to test your questions and get answers based on the output.
• experiment with things that might or might not work and learn from the output
• ask questions if you're still unclear about anything.

Then when you feel completely comfortable, move on to the next thing and periodically review the past things you've learned. I believe that no programming language concept is very difficult, but each concept builds upon the previous. And, people can make it very difficult on themselves when they try to move too quickly or out of order.

[scarlet relic]

thank you very much! do you also recommend any youtube channel or any book?

We are given some specific components to use. Arduino uno with adafruit motorshield, rgb sensor , servo motor and stepper motor. we can not buy/ add any other components other than these. now the issue is I have never used arduino IDE before its so freaking confusing. but i somehow managed to find codes that I can use to run the stepper and servo motor, But idk how to link them with rgb sensor as in how to write codes for tht. if anyone is able to help pls dm

you probably want to use other annotation like @Service or @Bean, @ Entity i think only creates the jpa stuff but if you are using the entity in some autowired (from spring context) maybe to call a method in the entity you would want an annotation that puts the thing in the context of spring

just remember :q! in the back of your heads

[raven abyss]

can someone explain how am I on paper getting x = 7, y = 8

i should get x = 6 not 7

[frosty sequoia]

you mean :wq for sure

[frosty sequoia]

just use neovim and costumize it for you liking

also guys i started experiencing with c++ after c and i have a question

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include <iomanip>

int main() {
    float pi = 3.14159;

    std::cout << "Cout: " << std::fixed << std::setprecision(2) << pi << std::endl;

    printf("Printf: %.2f\n", pi);

    return 0;
}

here i cant just use printf instead of that long one for c++ its shorter but why no body use this i mean from my point of view its more efficient

[frosty sequoia]

both lines do the same thing

[frosty sequoia]

what about y
also i think its because you forgot braces next to the for loop

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int x = 0, y = 1, i;
    for (i = 0; i <= 3; i++) {
        if (i > 0)
            x += x + 1;
    }
    y = --x + 2;
    printf("x=%d y=%d\n", x, y);
}
``` the output is x=6 and y=8

[raven abyss]

ik thats the output but in our tests we have to go through the process of getting that answer

and when i do i get that x is 7

[frosty sequoia]

here's how x changes within the loop
i = 1: x += x + 1 = 0 + 0 + 1 = 1
i = 2: x += x + 1 = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
i = 3: x += x + 1 = 3 + 3 + 1 = 7
after the loop x is decremented by 1 (--x) resulting in x = 6
so idk why you are getting 7

[raven abyss]

wait why is —x at the end

[frosty sequoia]

bro you litteraly wrote it

here

y = --x + 2;
    printf("x=%d y=%d\n", x, y);
}

[raven abyss]

i thought --x is only when calculating y = --x + 2

[frosty sequoia]

oh wait my bad

yeah

let me check why the duck you get 7

[raven abyss]

😭

thanks bro

[frosty sequoia]

can you send the exact code you wrote

@raven abyss

[raven abyss]

its the screenshot one

[frosty sequoia]

what about the one in your assingement

[raven abyss]

i just copy pasted it

wait imma screenshot it

im not home so

[frosty sequoia]

yep its still giving me x=6

[raven abyss]

well yeah same

but on paper idk how its x 7

[frosty sequoia]

i think since you are looking at the first one

[frosty sequoia]

the second one you provided with the screenshot is the bottom one right here

so yes it will give x=6

i think you kept looking at the top one as if its the solution?

@raven abyss

[raven abyss]

nah i didnt cus i just typed the code into vsc

didnt even look at the paper

[frosty sequoia]

so you get x=7 in vscode

[raven abyss]

no no

i get x=6

but when i do the math on

paper

its x = 7

[frosty sequoia]

ooooh

[raven abyss]

ts so confusing

[frosty sequoia]

ok let me do the math too you know sometime code works just because it wants💀

[raven abyss]

alr alr

lemme know how it goes

[frosty sequoia]

bruh asked ai and told me x=3

[raven abyss]

imma email my professor

[frosty sequoia]

yeah ask why tf that's happening

if he told why ping me @raven abyss

[raven abyss]

he probably sleeping its kinda late here

[vapid dock]

and that yea

:q! for when you are stuck and just want to exit

[frosty sequoia]

yep its when u messed up and dont want that to be saved

Give tips how to improve my insta and github acc. :-

https://www.instagram.com/hecoin45/

[dapper niche]

no, you didn't make a mistake. it is --x + 2 at the end. which means y = 6 + 2. and x = 6. I am guessing @raven abyss got x = 7 because he didn't realized that --x also assigns a new value to x.

[raven abyss]

wait so once we calculate x+=x+1 and get the value of x the --x changes the x again?

Hey guys I need an advice I am studying data science from an academic course but I don't think it would be enough to work as a data scientist so a friend recommended to me this course, does anyone know would it be worth it or not to apply or it will just be a waste of time? Hey guys I need an advice I am studying data science from an academic course but I don't think it would be enough to work as a data scientist so a friend recommended to me this course, does anyone know would it be worth it or not to apply or it will just be a waste of time? https://www.wqu.edu/programs/applied-ds-lab/

[frosty sequoia]

yeah this is just like when solve a problem correctly but change it at the last moment

[frosty sequoia]

can someone tell me why the duck the output is not 2 and its giving me 0

  #include <iostream>

  namespace first {
    int x =2;
  }
  int main()
  {
    using namespace first;
    int x =0;

    std::cout<<x<<std::endl;

    return 0;
  }```

i know it works if i did first::x but that's why i added the using namespace and its not working the output still 0

[shrewd heron]

bc u declared it again, so the local variable takes precedence

[frosty sequoia]

oooooooooooooh yeah my bad

  #include <iostream>

  namespace first {
    int x =2;
  }
  int main()
  {
    using namespace first;
   
    std::cout<<x<<std::endl;

    return 0;
  }``` 
now it will work

[shrewd heron]

yeah that looks right

[frosty sequoia]

also if i did this

  #include <iostream>

  namespace first {
    int x =2;
  }
  int main()
  {
    using namespace std::cout;
    using namespace std::endl;
    using namespace first;
    int x =0;

    cout<<x<<endl;

    return 0;
  }```
is this ok since i heard using namespace std as a whole is bad

then what about specific ones

[dapper niche]

that's correct. if you do ++x or --x or x-- or x++, it will reassign the value of x.

[shrewd heron]

i generally use using namespace std; and have never had any issues

[frosty sequoia]

hm ok thx

[raven abyss]

thank you

i got it

[dapper niche]

I believe the main concern is for collisions across namespaces, so you will most likely never run into that in your small projects

[nimble wing]

why is my vscode like this?
somebody can help?

[frosty sequoia]

yo so we have this mf thing in c++ :

  #include <iostream>

  int main()
  {
    int correct= 2;
    int questions = 5;
    double score = correct/(double)questions*100;

    std::cout<<score<<"%"<<std::endl;

    return 0;
  }

isnt just simpler to do this instead ?

    double questions = 5.0;
    double score = correct/questions*100;

[dapper niche]

I would say the former is preferable because from a data perspective, there's no such thing as a fractional question. so "count of questions" doesn't make sense as a floating point number

[frosty sequoia]

hmm ok thx tho

hey, i wanted to ask you guys about something, in vscode, i can't run a C code which contains the library : pthread.h
i heard that i have to add it in the path of the gcc but i dont know how, can someone show me ?

[crimson thistle]

well i tried this simple code
`#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>

void *print_message(void *msg) {
char *message = (char *)msg;
printf("%s\n", message);
pthread_exit(NULL);
}

int main() {
pthread_t thread1, thread2;
char *message1 = "Thread 1: Hello from Thread 1!";
char *message2 = "Thread 2: Hello from Thread 2!";

// Create and run the first thread
if (pthread_create(&thread1, NULL, print_message, (void *)message1) != 0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Error creating thread 1\n");
    return 1;
}

// Create and run the second thread
if (pthread_create(&thread2, NULL, print_message, (void *)message2) != 0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Error creating thread 2\n");
    return 1;
}

// Wait for both threads to finish
pthread_join(thread1, NULL);
pthread_join(thread2, NULL);

return 0;

}`
and it compiled just fine can you elaborate more of your problem?

Anyone have any tips for trimming down the 14k emails in my promotions tab on gmail other than manually going through and deleting each one by sender group or deleting the entire folder?

[dapper niche]

what exactly are you looking for where those approaches lack?

[trim pivot]

you're setting your flag to be A number 65 if the original matrix has that number inside, is going to use to set to 0 the row and the column, even though you don't put your A there.
they expect you to use 0 as the flag but then you need to be carefull where you put it so you don't set to 0 something that you don't want to.
i think the else -> continue is just the default behaviour so there is not need, going to try to write a tip on how that's supposed to be solve below if i can

||you can use the first row or column to put your zero, so it works like built in hash table , dont modify the first row/column and then check a then if you need to put it to zeroes, either that or actually using something to store where the 0 zerows row/columns are something like a hash set but that uses extra space||

actually ignore the part about A==65, is going to depend on the character set of you pc, but A is going to become an int when you put i in the matrix of int's, and if that number is in the matrix originally is going to mess up your process to define where are 0's

i found another t470p with an i7 and discrete graphics (as good as that could be); though i am a bit split on whether i should get a w540 which has a 4600m and quadro graphics or the t470p

since i cant confirm whether the i7 in the t470 is a quad core or a dual core i cant firmly decide on one

oh wait i am stupid the 4600m has 2 cores 4 threads

yeah the t470p processors all come with 4 cores minimum

guys so when i search for jobs in indeed or any other site for my country (its not a tech country we still old school heck some company's still use windows 7) and they require some unrealistic things (like mastering at least 5 programming language commonly python java c++ c# and js and like at least 3 years of experience and masters degree too unrealistic for experienced devs let alone new grads ) but when i look int the us or eu market they ask for a specific field like web dev or mobile dev so what do you think about that ,am i right or should i stop complaining

[trim pivot]

It's not ideal because then you do not know what to study for, but these companies a,t least in my country ju,st put a bunch of technologies there so any of those works and not so much for like you must know all of them, or that's what I have seen (even thought there could be special cases where they expect you too know all of them) but you will only figure that out after starting the interview process, i will try to apply anyway(and probably in the first interview with hr person/non technical person just say that you have done basic things with those), i think the best is just try to filter by years of experience if they're looking for someone with 5+ years of experience it's unlikely they'll hire you(and apply if you like the job to 0 to 3 years, or not years of experience mention). getting a first job is going to be more difficult than usual i think market has been showing difficult recently

[dapper niche]

Complaining doesn't do anything to move you closer to your goal, so you just need to assess what the reality is and make yourself a good fit for it. If that's beyond your willingness to do, then you're not left with a choice other than to choose a different field of work.

Every market and every company hires suboptimally. My personal opinion is that a new hire should have skills to learn what they need in order to solve problems and also be able to get things done. As long as they can prove and demonstrate those capabilities, the tech they know or don't know is almost irrelevant. I know every company doesn't hire that way, but that's how I approach things. I don't expect them to know any specific piece of technology. I'll give them some general problems to solve and also ask them to explain things to me because communication skills is incredibly important and valuable.

[frosty sequoia]

yeah you guys are right

i mean that makes since that's why a big chunk of programmers here work for eu or us company's remotely anyways

[idle dew]

Hello! Yes, you can use it on Ubuntu, however, don't get too emotional. From what I saw in the printscreen, it has i3gaps, changed the fonts, used exaggerated transparency and used custom colors on the window borders. It may be that all of this makes the environment unviable to work in.
Well...taste is taste. If you want:
You can use the "config" file that he made available on github, and place it in your /home/user/.config/i3/ or /home/user/.i3/ (this depends on your distribution).

Be careful. Before making any changes to your config file, make a backup before removing or changing it (just in case something goes wrong), also, if you use someone else's config, some settings and binds have probably been changed . Read the "config" before making the replacement.

[spare nimbus]

One note on that though is that you do need to install i3 before you do that. As im pretty sure Ubuntu doesnt have it as default. One morething. I3 is a tiling window manager so most if not all things are done with keybinds like switching windows etc etc... If you know this and are familiar with that great! but just wanted to let you know before you got confused @blissful moon

hello does anyone know how to convert PDA to CFG

[idle dew]

1. Identify the Components of the PDA: Understand the states, input alphabet, stack symbols, transitions, initial state, initial stack symbol, and accept states of your PDA.

2. CFG Construction: Create a context-free grammar G = (V, Σ, R, S) where:

   • V is a set of variables.
   • Σ is the same input alphabet as the PDA.
   • R is a set of production rules.
   • S is the start symbol.

3. Define Variables in CFG: For each pair of states (p, q) in the PDA, introduce a variable ( A_{pq} ) in the CFG. Each ( A_{pq} ) generates all strings that can take the PDA from state p to state q with the stack ending up as it started.

4. Formulate Production Rules: The rules in R are constructed based on the transitions in the PDA. For each transition in the PDA, you'll derive one or more grammar rules. The general pattern for these rules is:

   If there's a transition in the PDA of the form:

   • ( p, a, X \rightarrow q, YZ ) (where p, q are states; a is an input symbol or ε; X is the top stack symbol to be popped; Y, Z are stack symbols to be pushed),
   • Then for every state r, add a rule in CFG: ( A_{pr} \rightarrow aA_{qr} ) if Y and Z are the empty string, or ( A_{pr} \rightarrow aA_{qs}A_{sr} ) for all states s, if YZ are pushed onto the stack.

5. Handle Accept States: For each accept state q in the PDA, add a rule ( A_{pq} \rightarrow ε ) for every state p, allowing the CFG to produce empty strings if the PDA can move to an accept state.

6. Start Symbol of CFG: Set the start symbol of the CFG to ( A_{q0q_f} ), where q0 is the initial state of the PDA and qf is an accept state.

7. Refine and Test: Finally, refine your CFG to remove any unnecessary or redundant rules and test it to ensure it generates the same language as the PDA.

This process can be quite complex, especially for larger PDAs, and it may require a good understanding of both PDAs and CFGs. Each PDA may lead to a unique set of steps based on its specific transitions and states.

[buoyant finch]

i still dont understand starting from 3

[idle dew]

4. Creating Production Rules:

   • For each transition in your PDA, create rules in your CFG.
   • If your PDA has a transition like "from state p, reading input a, and popping X from the stack, it goes to state q and pushes YZ on the stack," then in your CFG:
     • If YZ is empty, add a rule: "A_{pr} becomes aA_{qr}".
     • If YZ is not empty, for each possible intermediate state s, add a rule: "A_{pr} becomes aA_{qs}A_{sr}".

5. Dealing with Accept States:

   • For each accept state in your PDA, add rules in your CFG that produce an empty string (ε). This allows the CFG to represent situations where the PDA can accept by reaching these states.

6. Setting the Start Symbol of CFG:

   • Choose a start symbol for your CFG that represents the process of starting from the initial state of your PDA and reaching an accept state.

7. Refinement and Testing:

   • Remove any rules from your CFG that are not needed or are repetitive.
   • Test your CFG to make sure it generates the same language as the original PDA.

The key is to systematically translate the PDA's behavior into rules for a grammar.

Hey! I was wondering if anyone here knew how to setup doom emacs in a mac (ventura for macos)

[shell hollow]

does someone know how to transfer from windows to nokia 3310

nokia pc suite is troubling me

the pairing is easy to figure out

but authorize i dunno how

[viral oyster]

Does anyone know these HP 3500yl 48 PoE switches? especially the 8693A? I want to set up the IP address because I don't think this switch gets one via DHCP. I think you need to connect a computer to the serial port, but I don't have one. So is there another way to do this?

[idle dew]

Some switches have a factory default IP. If you can reset it, you can simply use a standard ethernet cable and plug in a laptop to access the settings. I did this on an old 3com I had, it always worked. I didn't do much research here, but it would be interesting to have the product manual to know which IP range the device is in and try to access it using your laptop, or use wireshark/nmap and try to see the MAC address. These are just some tips.

[viral oyster]

After some research I think the only option is to connect a computer via the serial port on the back. After a factory reset it still doesn't have an IP address and my DHCP client is active. I found a manual guide for this switch and they said you need a serial cable.

My english isn't perfect so it's possible that I misunderstood something in this manuel.

[fallen totem]

Can anyone tell why my html code won't run ( code is correct) it's showing 404 error on output?

[lusty parcel]

could be a mistake in url or server issues

[gloomy lily]

Does anyone know any chrome-browser extensions, that makes new tab open to the left of the tab bar. I often switch tabs using ctrl+<number>. But with more than 9 tabs, thats not possible.

[slate seal]

does ctrl+left click work for you?

i think it worked for me once, not sure tho, haven't used chrome in a while

[dapper niche]

I think Kento is talking about vertical tabs like this https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/vertical-tabs/pddljdmihkpdfpkgmbhdomeeifpklgnm

[slate seal]

ohhh okay okay

[fallen totem]

The live server won't open and if we have to open then it has to be done manually by opening chrome and putting the host number. And even if that page opens, it isn't live i.e. when code is updated the page won't update even after refreshing

[green jackal]

Hey guys could you please do me a favor and fill out this form for my business idea about a a website that sells, delivers, and tailors clothes, for my business class project? It's just like 4 mins long and its on spanish and english too. https://forms.gle/p7sw69pSCzHJMriV9

[gloomy lily]

not too bad, but the goal is to be able to switch without using mouse, fast. So I want new tabs open to the left of the tab bar, so i can use ctrl+1 to switch between the latest tabs. My hands to tiny and im too lazy to press anything above ctrl+5.

lets say i have 4 tabs open, that i dont rlly need rn(for example some yt vids/music). Then I google smth in a new tab, and open everything interesting in a new tab in the background. When trying to view all of those new tabs I’d need to use ctrl+9 or maybe even ctrl+10(which isnt a thing), to switcch to the tab

[idle dew]

You can always switch between tabs with ctrl+tab and backwards with ctrl+shift+tab

[dapper niche]

hmm dont know of an extension like that, maybe you can make your own

there's an extension that rearranges tabs in alphabetical order, so it should be possible

[nocturne badge]

Can i get help with this problem

You are given an array containing n integers. Your task is to determine the longest increasing subsequence in the array, i.e., the longest subsequence where every element is larger than the previous one.
A subsequence is a sequence that can be derived from the array by deleting some elements without changing the order of the remaining elements.

I am trying to solve it using segment tree c++, but i get stuck at some point.
if anyone can help me pls dm

[hearty idol]

If a guy is really poor at maths like me will be able to become a good developer?

[hidden forum]

need help with a schema not grabbing the id from another schema mongoose db, anyone ?

[plain plover]

definitely yes

[hearty idol]

Thanks for the cheerup. Those two words from you made my day.

I will really do as much as I can and will try my best

[brazen walrus]

yes, you can even go beyond developer and be a good researcher as well. Mostly being bad at maths is not allocating enough time or interest to it, not because of not being able to 🙂

[hearty idol]

True.

[stark vortex]

dm me

[stark vortex]

10000% yes
just make sure you can write logic
deconstruction of problem is the only requirement

[hearty idol]

Yeah that what am scared of. i really need to work on my logic.any tips on how can be better at it?

I don't know if I can be better at it anytime soon

But I have no other options cuz every tech fields requires logic.

[buoyant finch]

Anyone know pumping lemma for CFL?

[stark vortex]

you can learn DSA, and maybe try leetcode to implement it.

[hearty idol]

Yeah but I don't really have the time to do so . all i am doing is now development from scratch

[stark vortex]

So what are you developing?

maybe I can give you few TODOs in what you are developing to improve your logic

[hearty idol]

You can give me some only HTML and CSS TODOs cuz I am currently learning JS

JS is vast language so it may take time to learn.

[hidden forum]

for beginners i recommend doing some challenges from greatstack on youtube, he has, drag and drop, qr code api, making a weather app html css js frontend etc, it vastly improves and they are relatively short

30 Days, 30 JavaScript Projects For Beginners to Practice #javascriptproject
GreatStack

this is at the level you are rn

[hearty idol]

Yeah I'll see

Thanks

[hidden forum]

just check it out, they are simple and not long js logic, but rather simple, you get to use the DOM a lot

[hearty idol]

Okay

[hearty idol]

Found this playlist

[hidden forum]

you can do any of them, they are pretty much the same level

[buoyant finch]

anyone?

[hearty idol]

This gave me ptsd of my last sem. Theory of computation is horrible

You can learn this topic from neso academy on YT.. That's all i can tell you.

[buoyant finch]

they only have until 3 parts

which is easy

[hearty idol]

Oh my bad.

[buoyant finch]

but idk how to do 4 in a language

the division of parts is a bit confusing

[outer harbor]

cn we use google lens on pc?

by using a screenshot

[unique seal]

anyone know how I can run Solidworks on Mac (ARM chip) without paying for Parallels?

Or any good CAD software that has the same capabilities and can run natively on Mac?

[buoyant finch]

not available but there are other sites that can do the same job'

[outer harbor]

which one?

[outer harbor]

name?

[stark vortex]

CFL is pretty easy

drop questions here

I might be able to help

[buoyant finch]

hi what do u need help with

[idle dew]

Guys does somebody owns an FPGA

[warped oxide]

if you have solidworks access you have the best tool. buy parallels and try to make your school/job pay for it
alt route is other paid software or Fusion 360 or a browser version like Onshape and Tinkercad but still none of these are as good as solidworks

[dapper niche]

yes you can, just use google image and part of it is the same thing now, I think

[dapper niche]

you've done theory of computation but you have trouble with logic and have questions about math? that's really strange or backwards to me. theory of computation was one of my final classes. I did all the logic and math before that. What do you mean by you need to work on your logic? Like boolean algebra and discrete mathematics? Or converting thought and concepts into flowing code?

[outer harbor]

alr thanks ill try:)

[hearty idol]

The latter one

[dapper niche]

really weird curriculum...I did discrete math my first year and theory of computation in my final year. not even sure what parts of discrete math are important for your average software engineering role, aside from the super basics.

the super basics being...the boolean algebra part

[hearty idol]

I had both discrete and toc together.

[stark vortex]

what help you need?

[vapid dock]

can someone lend a hand here? ive encountered an issue with windows and i have no idea how to fix it other than a complete reinstall

tl;dr, was doing a clean reset, reset was going smoothly until a abrupt restart at around 30%, the reset did not continue but instead booted into the user login screen. but because it has already wiped some parts of the os and data, theres no user to log into

and im stuck here

i have no idea why and how but that just happened

and because windows doesn't really have a centralized wiki similar to the likes of arch linux, i can't find the solution to what might possibly be just a small dumb issue myself

[oblique gulch]

i really dont know what to suggest to you other than maybe try using some windows startup media and seeing if one of the options there can help you repair the os

but im guessing that's the first thing you tried so idk

[buoyant finch]

anyone who knows how to code NASM?

[compact wedge]

yes

[buoyant finch]

can i dm you?

[winged knoll]

Im probably too late to help here but your windows is gone. If you havent already tried, download windows on a memory drive and see if you can recover it that way. The only other option is just downloading linux 🤷

[vapid dock]

windows was ass

just installed arch instead

[winged knoll]

lmaoo nice

[gloomy lily]

i also use arch btw

[idle dew]

I use Artix.

[idle dew]

I use Endeavour

[stable cobalt]

I have took a burst image with contain 20 pics..
I accidentally hit "Save N Selected Photos" instead of "Save all" and that saved only the selected photos and deleted the rest. Is there a way I can recover those other photos in the burst series that I lost ?

systemd is meh

[idle dew]

My windows Bluetooth drivers got deleted Bluetooth does not show up in device manager and in hidden devices . When I run the troubleshooter it says check Bluetooth capability

[deep ridge]

i am finding a computer which:

1. is affordable
2. just powerful enough to watch lectures(from a website which host live lectures)
3. view pdfs and can play videos

was thinking about raspberry pi 4 2/4 gb ram, but if there are better options, pls suggest!🙏

and for me being less powerful is not a problem, as i want to get less distracted by other things, so powerful pc can do a lot of things which i don't want, so basically one step towards digital minimalism

[wheat silo]

Hello, if you haven't solved it yet, you probably want to check your laptop type, specs, and what OS you're using. Usually, you can get the info you need on which driver suits your hardware on the official site. Otherwise, maybe you want to try to download the Realtek Bluetooth 4.0 driver / The Intel Bluetooth Driver and figure it out.

[wheat silo]

If may I ask, which OS do you want to use? or if it's too hard to answer, are you planning to use it for school work like doc, excel, etc?

[deep ridge]

any os, and browsing too

[idle dew]

I tried downloading the same drivers again but they don’t but Bluetooth did not show up in device manager

[idle dew]

What’s your budget

[deep ridge]

100$ maybe

[idle dew]

Are you going to use it for college or something

[deep ridge]

yeah, my college has a website where they show live videos

basically like youtube live lectures

[idle dew]

Are you going to do projects on it?

Like coding or anything intensively

And do you live in US

[deep ridge]

not anything intensively like machine learning and stuff, but maybe some python which is not cpu intensive

[wheat silo]

Have you restart it? Restart Bluetooth Support Service

[idle dew]

Same

You can get a thinkpad t series used

It has great upgradibilty

And good performance

[idle dew]

Yah, no results

[deep ridge]

k i'll watch sm vid abt it

[idle dew]

James also has a thinkpad

[wheat silo]

Hmm, interesting case

[deep ridge]

but can u recommend sm sbc or minipc?

[idle dew]

What’s a abc

Sbc

[deep ridge]

single board computer, like raspberry pi

[idle dew]

But it works good I use the audio jack right now

Bro do you live in Delhi

[deep ridge]

no

[idle dew]

I would suggest looking in you computer market area and see you can get dell optiplexs for cheap

But why do you want a mini PC

[deep ridge]

have a gud monitor

and want to keep it minimal

[idle dew]

You can plug it your laptop too

If your monitor has good display you won’t be able to use it because you old mini PC will only support low res

You won’t be able to take advantage of is display

Still I’ll recommend a thinkpad

[deep ridge]

i don't usually carry it anywhere, so laptop is basically just a computer for me
so thought mini-pc wud be powerful, and there won't be maintenance like its my 3rd time replacing battery of my laptop

[wheat silo]

By chance, did you upgrade your OS or anything related to it so you had your bt driver deleted?

[deep ridge]

yeah, i'll consider it

[idle dew]

Once you see it’s perks you check it out

Initially my camera and bluetooth jack were not working I updated them and then my Bluetooth did not work

I deleted drivers because the. The device manager re installs them

[wheat silo]

Right, it happens, maybe you want to roll back the driver to the old ones or try the other one that match your bt hardware. If it's Lenovo then all the hardware specs of the laptop are listed on the web you can check it first.
Like this one:
https://support.lenovo.com/us/id/downloads/ds503592-intel-bluetooth-driver-for-windows-10-64-bit-desktop

I had similar issues back then and I tried other driver it works. There was also an issue where my bt not working all of sudden but it wasn't the driver, the cable disconnected somehow

I hope that helps

[idle dew]

Thanks Dee

Hello! Does anyone work with QGIS and/or SIMPA?

[jade summit]

Any rumors about 2024 Boox releases?

[idle dew]

This is correct - you will need a USB to serial adaptor (or bluetooth / USBc), then you can set an IP address on the switch.

From there you can generate SSH keys to enable remote CLI connectivity.

Quick Javascript question, Why is variable "iconIndex" out of scope?

for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
setProperty("icon" + 1, "image", iconsList[iconIndex]);
}

[idle dew]

send code which is above that block as well

is iconIndex defined in parent scope of for loop? or else it's defined somewhere else

[void mulch]

Sorry, but, nevermind i didn't even need that line of code and i was being stupid lol

[idle dew]

ooof, no worries

if you ever face with variable out of scope error just check whether the variable which you're using is either within loop's scope or in its parent scope

[void mulch]

Makes sense, Thanks :)

[idle dew]

{ 
  let test = "hi";
} // test variable will out go out of scope after this parentheses

console.log(test) // this will throw variable out of scope error

[idle dew]

you're welcome

[void mulch]

Will write this in my notes lol

[idle dew]

let test = "hello";

{ 
  let test = "hi";
} // test variable will out go out of scope after this parentheses

console.log(test) // it'll log "hello" instead of "hi" cause it can't access the test variable defined in the local scope

here's a better example, if you're gonna write it in your notes

[void mulch]

alright ty

what is the best resource to learn python

[lusty parcel]

anyone worked with xray images/ image AI-ML ?? i need DT

[lusty parcel]

i'd say freecodecamp tutorials, CodeWithHarry if you are a beginner. After you get grasp of the basics.. make it a habit to learn from the documentation site and do problem solving coding practice

[idle dew]

Harvard has got a free cs50 python course out there

[woven pelican]

Check out pysdr.com if you want a neat way to apply any python you learn to Digital Signal Processing and other radio-related stuff.

I'm a researcher in the US and I work with python and c++ for a living for DSP-related applications so I personally found that site useful

If you have absolutely no experience in python though, consider doing Advent of Code and googling the bare minimum of python stuff you need to solve it.

I think project based learning is best

Hey guys got a question about laptops, I will be going to uni next year to study cs

do you think a thinkpad with 16gb ram will be enough?

or should i go for the 32

16gb will be plenty, make sure it has good upgradeability though for the future

[charred ocean]

i will go for a carbon x1 so

i think they are upgradeable

print participant
can somebody help me this is for school and I tried to add floats, but everytime I tried to add one it was turned into a string and it ignored the if statement (even if I typed 5.5, which is under 7, and so it was added into the list)
the program is really bad and we use a language that is called Jython (which is not used anymore)

[rain pier]

if this works like python

then you need to convert whatever you get from age input() into a integer/float

input() function automatically turns anything into string

so:
age = float(input("Wie alt:"))

if you do this, then the program should correctly compare integer with 7 and execute accordingly

[idle dew]

Jython ☠️

[idle dew]

if you are going for an older yhinkpad they have great upgradibilty.The laptop you will be getting depends on what you are learning

are you doing machine learning python or watching lectures

Hi guys can anyone tell me why i5-14600kf is on bottleneck with rtx 4070

If im doing tests with ryzen 7 7700x3d or 7800x3d everything is okay

But they are pretty similar to i5-14600kf

[dapper niche]

what makes you think it's a bottleneck? the concept of X CPU is a bottleneck on Y GPU is kinda nonsense. it depends on the game and resolution

[regal path]

thats true, your specs are seriously overkill. I don't see why there would be a program that could even push it enough to bottleneck

unless you're using a benchmark program to force it to bottleneck. Which in that case the bottleneck wouldn't even matter because it wouldn't bottleneck running normal everyday programs
