hi everyone, I'm about to start coding in c++ but on visual studio code when i run the file it runs on output section, so i can t use cin, someone know how to fix (it's running on macOS Sonoma M1 chip)

[idle dew]

Try to compile with clang

[jovial crow]

I'm using Google Colab (Hosted jupyter notebook with a few extras). I want to use the debugger (ipdb) within the notebook's context. If I simply put a breakpoint() or %debug, it starts a debugger that's not aware of variables that have previously been defined by running other cells. The code of the cell itself "knows" the context, but the interactive debugger prompt that's started from that same cell, doesn't.
Does that make any sense?
How do people usually debug jupyter notebooks?
EDIT: Nvm, I might have chanced upon a bug or weird behavior. After restarting the runtime and rerunning, the entire notebook context is now properly acessible through the debugging prompt.
Hi, btw, first message here, I must start lurking on this server at some point or other in the proximate future.

[stark trench]

even clang doesn't work

[buoyant finch]

right click on the window and click run C file

[stark trench]

i think the problem is that it runs the program on the output but i don t know how to do it in the terminal

[acoustic bear]

I wonder anyone can help me with this C# Window App Form exercise please

[buoyant finch]

right click -> run c file should run it on the terminal...but if it doesnt work for you, just manually compile with gcc and run

[odd dragon]

hey, did anyone ran a laptop without its case before? I have some issues

[stark trench]

i'd tried but whitout results

what laptop?

[odd dragon]

It is an old Asus laptop. Model name is F3J

I want to turn it into a server and because it is fairly big I wanted to save some space and maybe throw a fan at it. I took it apart and layed out the main board with the drive. It turns on the fan is spinning and the drive is working (it is an hdd so I can hear it) but there is no video output. I tried to plug the keyboard and trackpad back in but still no video out. Also it worked without a screen, I used it this way with an external monitor.

[stark trench]

i don t know if it is possible and in the case how

[odd dragon]

Maybe there are some crazy security elements, but I don't know

[odd dragon]

Okay, It works, looks like im a wacko. I took out one of the RAM sticks and put them back in and now its working. Thank you for your time tho

[odd dragon]

yeah, fortunately mine does not have any of this security. I planning on using an enclosure but not the oem one, I want better cooling because it has one fan only and it is quite loud. Thank you for your advice

[frosty sequoia]

can someone tell me where is the problem

  #include <stdio.h>

  int main(){
    int num,i;
    float result;

    printf("choose 5 numbers to display its cube\n");
    for(i=1;i<=5;i++){
    scanf("%d",&num);
    result=pow(num,3);
    printf("number %d and the cube of the %d is : %.1f",num,num,result);

hi guys can i use a 65W plug with a 100W cable to charge my laptop and tablet for school

my laptop only needs 45 watts idk

[idle dew]

Yeah you can go with HTML/CSS, JS and PHP

[shell hollow]

help

[marble topaz]

wsl is also awesome for this

[marble topaz]

the compiler is right
that function doesnt exist
pow(int, int) doesnt exist
but pow(double, double) does
source: c documentation

nah its kind of a linux emulator for windows except it isnt an emulator

appart from a few details you can do everything that you can on linux on wsl

and linux c tools are nice

no its just a terminal you can open or a command you can run

its really neat and useful
you can also install different distros or have multiple instances for different things

And its more convenient than a virtual machine because it starts up super quick and you can just browse your normal file system (c drive and what not)

[marble topaz]

the cable is ok but the charger needs to support outputting 45 watts
and basically every 65w does

you dont need to have any fear of something breaking
usb power delivery has a long handshake to figure out if the devices are compatible

[spark matrix]

Isnt windows putting a halt to Ubuntu 18.10 WSL or something along those lines

or 18.04, I dont remember, I saw something about it recently

also - the system is very open
microsoft cant halt anything
there are ways to install custom disctros

Thanks!

[hoary elbow]

I think it's corrupted, if power button + volume button combinations don't work, then you might have to use a PC and flash the firmware.
If you have a MediaTek chip, you can use 'SP Flash Tool' (v5, don't use v6 since there aren't a lot of tutorials using that (at least the last time I checked like a year ago when I bricked my phone trying to root it)).

[hoary elbow]

Your files and everything like that are stored in the 'userdata' and 'cache' partitions. They should be fine

[frosty sequoia]

um why this is not working

  #include <stdio.h>

  int main()
  {
    int num;

    scanf("%d",&num);
    if(2<=num && num<=100){
       printf("%s\n",num%2==0?"YES":"NO");
    }
    return 0;
  }```

this is the problem idk why

[warped oxide]

<@&942391219206647828>

[warped oxide]

idk what you mean, your program does run and when you input a number between 2 and 100 it gives an output of YES or NO depending on if it is even or odd

if you input 1 nothing happens the program just ends because you have it set up to only enter the if statement if the number entered into the console by the user and scanned is between 2 and 100. 1%2 does equal 1 and would work in your current program so maybe you're supposed to include from 1 to 100 instead of 2 to 100

when i'm scanning from the console or receiving any user input i like to include a print statement right before so I know where my input is supposed to go and if my program got to that part of the code

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  int num;
  
  //this is a comment in C, delete "//" to uncomment

  printf("Enter a number: "); //print statement to know what is being scanned and where

  scanf("%d",&num);

  //printf("The number scanned: %d\n", num); 
  //you can use print statements like ^this to test your code if you don't have a debugger, don't know how to use one yet, it broke, or just want to do it quick and dirty
  //here we're testing if what was scanned is correct 
  
  //change if(2<=num && num<=100) to if(1<=num && num<=100) if you need to include the possibility of the watermelon being 1 kilo like the problem post shows
  if(2<=num && num<=100){

     //printf("Can the kids split the watermelon evently?: ");
     //print statements like ^this help give the dev/user/professor/tutor context
    //same with adding a bunch of comments to your code so when you come back to it you know what's going on

     printf("%s\n",num%2==0?"YES":"NO");
  }
  return 0;
}

[warped oxide]

okay @frosty sequoia i gave a bunch of context. idk what your background with coding is so i assumed nothing and gave as much info as i could like i would do with my own undergrad students who i tutor

[frosty sequoia]

thanks but i solved it they just poorly describe it so they want when dividing a number the rest have to be even if that happens it will say YES

but as you can see 2 should not be included since if we devide by 2 the rest is 1 so we are say YES to 2 but the rest for it odd thus why its false

[warped oxide]

oh i see what you mean, that was worded really confusingly. glad you got it in the end

[warped oxide]

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  int kilos, halves;

  printf("Enter a number: "); 
  scanf("%d",&kilos);

//assignment says 1<=w<=100
  if(1<=kilos && kilos<=100){
    printf("Can the kids split the watermelon evently?: ");

    if(kilos%2==0){
        halves = kilos/2;

        if(halves%2==0){
            printf("%s", "YES");
        }
        else{
            printf("%s", "NO"); //case handling for 2
        }
    }
    else{
      printf("%s", "NO");
    }

  }
  
  return 0;
}

what specifically are you looking for that the x60 has that you want in a modern laptop?

if it’s the display ratio (4:3) you’re not going to get that in a modern laptop. you may find something similar if you go for a tablet/laptop hybrid like the x12 detachable

Framework? Its 3:2 screen

[warped oxide]

no one makes a 4:3 like the x60 anymore and the dude later explained they wanted a thinkpad

framework is an excellent recommendation too. i have one and use it often. i also have a x60 thinkpad but i don't really have a use for it outside of if i need to repair old tech but boy that keyboard is nice. i recommended the panasonic because i've heard that they have a similar 2mm keycap spacing to the x60 and the toughbook 33 tablet is also 3:2

if you do find a new laptop/tablet that is 4:3 i would love to know about it

i see that laptops are moving to 16:10 and hybrids/thinbooks/tablets seem to be 3:2 today

that extra bit on top with a 16:10 screen is a nice upgrade

all this is to say that most laptops today take a crap after a few years, even thinkpads unless you get a rugged/workstation/construction/military version. companies like Framework and MNT with their MNT Reform are looking to change that

when looking for a new laptop figure out what you will be doing on it most of the time, think about what features and ports you can't live without, and think about if the weight is okay to carry with you everywhere

right to repair!! woot woot!!

Yeah burning with multi session lets you burn multiple files to the CD-R without finalizing it so you can add more later. CD-R, DVD-R (spoken: DVD dash R) and DVD+R are only recordable (R) once but can be read many times. You can’t write over what has already been written to them and once you finalize, you can’t write to anymore even if there was space left over on the disc. If you want a CD or DVD that you can burn over and over again look for CD-RW and DVD-RW. “RW” means rewritable whereas only having an “R” means recordable

Edits: I thought the R and RW meant “read” and “write read” like rwx (read write execute) file permissions on Unix/Mac and Linux systems. They do not lol. They mean Recordable (R) and Rewriteable (RW)

In your case, if you’ve already burned something to the CD-R, you’ll need a new blank CD-R since it was most likely finalized by default by whatever CD burn software you are using

Look into using make and dividing your project into inc/ and src/ directories.

I used this to learn https://www.cs.colby.edu/maxwell/courses/tutorials/maketutor/

make is an incremental build system, meaning that it doesn't recompile files that have unchanged dependencies.

get a used or refurbished last gen and save even more money

macbook pros last longer in usability than a macbook air. i used an original (2006) macbook pro until 2015

no clue but two games i tried downloading with proton didn't even launch :/

very annoying, im thinking of getting a windows virtual machine just to play lol-

[cerulean crypt]

not everything will work automaticaly, it's linux, try to setup wine, botles, game parametres etc.

[cerulean crypt]

simply setup windows on partition near to linux

or use ready-made solutions

like PlayOnLinux, Lutris, StartWine etc.

hey ! Do you think I can find a PC around 200€ that allows me to do some programming (and running some docker containers, doin’ some rust) on Linux (I’d like some fedora on it)? I can only think of thinkpads x270 or t480 but are they still worth it ?

For most of other stuff I use my iPad Pro but I’d still like to keep a Linux laptop around since I am kind of a nerd lulz

[worthy valve]

Thinking of getting a gaming laptop
I live in India so I've decided by using Amazon prices and other youtube videos

My priorities for it are :

1. Gaming and coding ( tied at first place )
2. battery life , atleast 5 hrs on battery saved and everything ( mostly for browsing)
3. 3d rendering/ software
4. Video editing

My current budget is 80k and maximum 82
( In rupees )

I've shortlisted a couple of laptops :
( In no specific order but my most favourite and most probably I'm going to get is hp victus )

• hp victus || https://amzn.eu/d/ittE6N3
• Asus tuf f15
• Asus Rog strix g17
• nitro v

Hope you can suggest any other laptops or tell me regarding the list of laptops I've already given

[wet coral]

More than good enough, if you're spending your own money then you can get away with something cheaper. As long as you've got 16GB RAM then you can run CAD/CFD no issue

I did my undergrad and masters on a thinkpad t470p and those go for around £300 now second-hand

[stark trench]

I am getting a " undefined reference to `note_getter()'" error, checked all syntax, it's all good with that, I use the migw c++ compiler from MSYS, I created header .hpp files for all .cpp files except for the main and for some reason it cannot find the path to the header files, does this have to do with the .json things?

and btw I used #pragma one and did all the include stuff correctly.

I am still getting this error

[cerulean crypt]

maybe #pragma once?

Hi, what is you guys your opinion on using an apple watch? What useful use can it have? As in productivity taking in count that i own an iphone and ipad

[idle dew]

bro thinkpads go for very cheap in used as many companies dispose them in bulk the sellers sell them in cheap .Popularity for t series has been rising that is why it is still more expensive but other series like The L series P series are almost as good or better then them in performance

[stark trench]

i think that if you set it right you can use it in combo with healt app on iphone to see you phisical status if you do some sport or sort of, but in my case ,for example , it as no sense cause i have all the notification muted and i don t do any type of sport so i prefer have a meccanical watch that can look much better. You can also have a to do list on an apple watch but in my opinion is better on a piece of paper, but if you wanna have it you should think about what do you wanna do with it and see if it's worth it

[stark trench]

questions, i looked for a t480s (i wanna run arch on it ) but what is the difference with the p series?

and what do you think is the best for performance and portability?

[round sorrel]

1.I am a newbie to using Linux. And I don't know which distro to choose; I'm thinking about Arch and Debian.
2.I'm going to study Debian at University, so maybe, It will be much more appropriate to set on one, be good at it, and don't swap.
If u have some time, I will be happy to see your opinion on this topics.

[hot fable]

arch is the dark souls of linux distros so proceed with caution. I would recommend something like Parrot or Fedora if you want to get a good introduction

[idle dew]

Anyone can correct me if I am wrong but there was no t480p. S version is the slim version of t480 variant has less upgradable ram and no powerbridge system .If you just want to use browsers and some what heavy usage like coding an all , if you can sacrifice a bit on portability I would suggest the t480 ONLY due to the power bridge system.

But if you want a thin and light machine with go with t480s

hi, so i have a hashed string and i need to delete a character from it and then get hash of its substrings, how can i do that efficiently? my approach was to reconstruct a hash table everytime i delete a character

maybe if i could concatenate the hashes somehow?

[long crypt]

what would be a good app to start coding or a good site to start learning to code

[carmine estuary]

I started off on replit and then moved onto Visual Studio Code as an IDE, but now that I'm college and taking classes that involve java I'm using JGRASP. If your goal is to just mess around with coding, then I have always liked replit because its simple to set up and its in a cloud type setup so you can access your code on any device that has a browser on it even your phone or tablet. Plus, it's free with some limitations but once you start needing more out of of the free version you should for sure switch to an IDE like Visual Studio Code. Hope this helped.

[humble surge]

hey anyone knows how to attach a long excel table in ms word which takes more than one page in word

[umbral sinew]

You can try changing the font size and/or the cell height in word. However if the table is really long this might not be enough

[humble surge]

i have tired everything but im not getting what i want i have watched all yt videos , articles but nothing happened in the end i took screenshot of my table and added that in my page

[umbral sinew]

that's the last resort, as long as it's visible though it's fine

[long crypt]

Oh thanks, i am more looking into it as in a job career way, so i need somewhere to start

[carmine estuary]

Then for sure start with Visual Studio Code. I'm not at the job level but it's always been good to me

Thanks mate, i will try to see a place to start studying it more deeply and apply it on that app

[weary forge]

are there any phone roms that make the phone dumb

sad

[idle dew]

depends on what you mean by dumb

you can uninstall all the apps until you only have the phone and messages app

and have a minimal launcher like unlauncher

[weary forge]

can i some how uninstall playstore?

or make it harder to at least install apps ?

[hot fable]

look up privacy OSs like graphene or calyx ,they'll have the most options for making it a dumb phone without playstore/google apps

[weary forge]

so ill have to download an entirely new rom?

meh still tysm

[hot fable]

yeah if you want good results you'll have to commit. There's apps that can lock apps behind a password but it's not the most effective if you can just type in the password yourself lol

[idle dew]

If you root your phone you can with adb I think

[idle dew]

use Linux Mint

You should give Gentoo a try, it's been my main OS for months, it's easy to learn and to manage, plus, gives you way more privileges than other normal OSs.

what's a great textbook to learn about python programming ?

[sudden flume]

python Crash Course helped me out a lot when I was beginning

[sudden flume]

https://www.google.co.ug/books/edition/Python_Crash_Course_2nd_Edition/w1v6DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover

[cerulean crypt]

Yes, that's the point of Gentoo, otherwise it would be a regular distribution

[topaz cave]

Indeed, still, its package manager "emerge" can be boosted up if you configure your make.conf correctly, one of the most common mistakes is not corresponding how many threads you have, so that gcc can use its full power, that your hardware can handle.

I might've taken too much time making my make.conf, probably more than 10 hours, and I still need to make some more research for the USE - flags variable.

[cerulean crypt]

I setup fully my make.conf on 8 core amd processor, but calculation of full update takes 10 minutes along, i think it's problem of emerge which writed on python

[topaz cave]

Somehow I didn't know emerge was made with python, I thought its source-code was all just C / C++

Well, this is somewhat sad, at least for me.

[stoic sable]

[topaz cave]

Interesting, what do you have in mind by now?
As it's day 2 you might've something to make the project about, if you do, then I could help you with the information gathering.

[cerulean crypt]

Yeah, me too

[topaz cave]

Future Task: Rewrite the whole portage package-manager in C or C++

[cerulean crypt]

Yes, I'm has it on mind

[topaz cave]

By the way, I'm eager to ask you something, as far as I can relate, you've been learning low-level programming right? And for that reason, could you give me some tips on how to learn such demanding and harsh languages? E.g.: Which projects did you use to help you; Any content creators; et al.
I always had a passion for low-level programming languages, although I'll just be able to practice them when the summer holidays arrive, because school has been way more time consuming than I thought it would. So when the free-time comes by I'd love to already have the foundation for its inner work.

My idea was to first learn C then choose between C++ or Assembly, these 3 are my favorite ones.

Being honest, I never touched or made any Python script, though I can read it, and know what the code does.

The same can be thought for other high-level languages, I just need to take some time to learn what each flag does, and in a matter of time I'll be able to read some scripts with that same language.

Either way, I'd be grateful to get some help, just to get the basis of it.

[cerulean crypt]

Yes, I've studied assembler, I can say that you need to learn all the registers, their purpose, types of operations, register-register, register-memory, etc., projects should be extremely simple, revealing each kind of operation and registers, you will also need a table of calls to the operating system for which you are writing code and in which registers you need to write data in order to pass arguments to the function, Examine data types, string formats, arrays, labels, etc.

[cerulean crypt]

Each application consists of bytes of code that can be interpreted into assembly code, you can write assembly code wisely and apply algorithms, but this is very long and inconvenient at first, also in some dialects of assembler there are no macros or functions, which complicates the process of writing code, and a program written in assembler will most likely not work on another architecture, Assembler was replaced by the C language, which allows you to automate the generation of assembly code and simplify the programming process, as well as compilation for different architectures, the C++ programming language further expands the capabilities of the C language and allows you to automate code generation for functions of different types of data, as well as an object-oriented programming model, which is very helpful in creating video games, but the C++ language takes longer to compile than the C language

[cerulean crypt]

In Python, you can write complex things quickly and easily by importing the necessary libraries, but it is not suitable for running on low-power hardware, as well as for high-load tasks, although it is possible to use multithreading, just-in-time compilation, and calculations on a graphics card

oh, idk, i don't use vscode anymore...

[icy vigil]

its aight dw

[cerulean crypt]

it's maybe not the best way, but it's works

[icy vigil]

lemme try it out

ayeee it works tysm

[cerulean crypt]

not a problem)

[lean island]

depends on the window manager you are using

but i dont know if there is a way to do this in vs code

[icy vigil]

I managed to find a way so it's aight

[cerulean crypt]

vscode has own windows module

[lean island]

really? i didnt know it

[stark trench]

did anyone know how to add a file browser on lazyvim?

[frosty sequoia]

my eeyyyys

remember kids light mode attract bugs

[icy vigil]

I have a house where a lot of sunlight goes through my windows so at that time in the morning literally trying to use anything in dark mode was impossible cause I couldn't see lmao

Besides my monitor has the yellow light filter on max so it's not even that bright looking

[frosty sequoia]

i was just kidding use what you prefer ||unless its solarized blue||

[icy vigil]

Uhh I have used solarized before tho 😳

[frosty sequoia]

that theme is illegal

it blinds my eyes worse than gruvbox light mode

[icy vigil]

I honestly think deep dark themes are worse than light themes

U can't see anything fr

[frosty sequoia]

u just didnt try gruvbox

check this beauty

isnt this the best theme ever

spoiler ys

[icy vigil]

With deep dark I don't mean regular dark themes I mean like super black themes like oled versions

Gruvbox is very cool btw

[frosty sequoia]

you mean like those inversed themes its cursed

[icy vigil]

I guess

Like the high contrast themes

[cerulean crypt]

like dis?

but usually i use monokai

[icy vigil]

YEEE those

Most of the time they are worse than dark themes unless you are in a pitch dark room

this is my code

when i run it, it only pops 30 and 18

python language

[earnest brook]

NUM = []

for i in range(5):
num = int(input("Enter a number: "))
NUM.append(num)

Only3_5 = []

for i in N:
if i % 3 == 0 or i % 5 == 0:

def numpop():
while Only3_5:
item = Only3_5.pop()
print(item)
print('Stack Empty')

numpop()

[earnest brook]

In the first loop you use i in iteration as well input

[cerulean crypt]

def add(N):
    for i in range(5):
        N.append(int(input("enter number: ")))

def Push3_5(N):
    for i in N:
        if i%3==0 or i%5==0:
            Only3_5.append(i)

def numpop(N):
    while N:
        print(N.pop())
    print('Stack Empty')

NUM = []
Only3_5 = []
add(NUM)
Push3_5(NUM)
print(Only3_5)

Hey, guys. I’ve been working on a binary tree python program.

Here’s the issue: For the "Displaying data in each element in ArrayNodes in order:” section, I’m getting 10 extra lines of -1 0 -1 (which tells me that there is no data in these elements of ArrayNodes).

Everything else is working properly, I’m just trying to find a way to get rid of these 10 extra lines (and find out what is actually causing this problem).

Here’s the code:
https://pastebin.com/8MJ4jY7t

Please ping in reply and thanks in advance for any help.

[icy vigil]

yo my dude i tried running it on vscode and what you said happened, i got the 10 extra lines, but then i ran it again for a few times and everything looked normal without the 10 extra lines, idk im still a python beginner but i hope it helps in some way, i dont even exactly know what to do with your code or the purpose of it srry

look

[hardy gate]

Can I talk to someone who is interested in KEGG pathway analysis?

[covert turret]

anyone good with reinforcement q learning?

[icy rapids]

i have nearly 8 years of professional dev experience. do not do CS if you do not love computers and programming. If you don't know try some programming now. I would suggest c/c++/java

study a subject you enjoy. <3

[glacial leaf]

Thank you for trying to help, much appreciated. It's actually interesting that when -1 and 0 are entered, the 10 extra lines disappear (considering that the 10 extra lines are just -1 and 0).

[open solstice]

I think it is possible without liking programming, if you don’t hate it then its chill

[icy vigil]

no problem

[open solstice]

You need maths tho

Cs is not only about programming

[open solstice]

Which is most of it

I had 27 different cs courses and only 3 of them were directly programming/algorithm related

[cerulean crypt]

yeah, this sucks

[open solstice]

Why

I think its great

[cerulean crypt]

I think for CS best proportion is knowledge and practice which equals 50/50

[open solstice]

yes

but cs is not only programming

programming is so little

if you are taking machine learning courses that doesn't mean it's not practical

it could be

also if you are doing it for practicals and programming just dont

and open udemy

[cerulean crypt]

🤔

[warped oxide]

it depends on the school, some treat CS as a software engineering degree and some treat it as what it's called - a computer science degree - studying the science of computers and all the math and physics behind it plus some electrical and programming knowledge

i wish more universities had software engineering bachelor degrees or that it was acceptable to get the education from a trade school

i don't want to be a software engineer, but people who do should be able to do that job with a 2 year education just like people are able to get IT certifications (but now companies want you to have a degree AND certs which is another problem)

at least for american universities you can check the exact required curriculum classes and electives for the degree you want on their website so you can figure out if that school has the degree type you want. Stanford is known for not having a lot of software engineering (SWE) in their CS degree whereas schools like the Cal Polys have a SWE bachelor's and a programming focused CS degree

[idle dew]

hii guys i want to start learning coding (on my own). Do you think Free Code Camp is a good start?

[exotic elk]

Pursuing my Cs degree very soon after devin got announced is it over for me??

[glad forum]

It is not about your course, but about you and your work

But yeah, it's good

[plush tiger]

whats devin

[idle dew]

thank u for your answer ❤️

[pine meteor]

Yes

check it out https://github.com/nus-apr/auto-code-rover

[pine meteor]

jokes aside, devin is just a GPT-4 wrapper, its nowehere near replacing anything

[median hound]

Anyone know how i can make a connection to a locally hosted server on my computer?

I'd need that so I can scan QR codes via phone to do stuff with SQL, are there any good programs for it?

or idk via api / node.js

the app still doesn't stand but it's something I'll have to deal with someday

[exotic elk]

well my career is still over because maybe not devin but other ig 💀

[pine meteor]

Just pivot to plumbery at this point ☠️🙏

[open solstice]

You could make more than a swe in western Europe

[pine meteor]

My opinion is that software engineering will stop being as we know it

Coding/syntax will not be important, what will be is problem solving

We will still have to solve the exact problems but won't be with python syntax, just with plain english

English is the new programming language

It's like the compiler, we write code in python and then the compiler translate it to assembly

Now we will write in English and the AI will translate to code

[glad forum]

There are still thousands of companies whose websites are built in old languages

• programming in science field, + very specific fields, etc. There always would be a lot of work for human developers

So if you just want a website sure, you can use ai. But it is just a new instrument, not really a revolution

[pine meteor]

There's no website built on Pascal 💀🙏

[hasty snow]

Um mention the coding language u wanna learn, I can suggest few,

[warped oxide]

SWEs are still safe but there will be less of these jobs just like they already are outsourcing labor to cheaper countries. learn to use the AI and how to code and be creative. also you can't use an LLM for govt/military/confidential private intellectual property unless your company or sector makes one and controls it themself otherwise you risk getting in trouble with ITAR 😬 and IP leaks/corporate spying

for a website example there are companies like Carrd and Squarespace that allow someone who can't code to make a decent website but there is still a demand for old school Webmasters for if you need to maintain a complex website and there is still a need to hire a designer to make it look beautiful. today you may only need to hire one person or a couple of people depending on your website demands. people aren't really out here just learning HTML and CSS anymore for this, they know wayyy more so the job pays really well but there are only a few spots available in house or you contract it out. an AI can help you get the bones of your design but you may need an artist, webmaster/web dev, copywriter, product photographer, and model(s) to bring it to life. the AI can't tell what is beautiful or pleasing unless it has been trained to do that and even still it can mess up. AI can help you speed up the process and cut down on costs but you need people to make these complex creative decisions to bring your idea to life

this applies to all avenues in the SWE domain just like it did to robots in factories

[warped oxide]

pursuing CS for SWE is not over but it's not an easy $100k salary anymore

you have to learn more languages and frameworks than school teaches, be an early adopter of all the AI tools out there to keep up, do personal projects outside of what is assigned at school and contribute to open source software on a public facing github to market yourself, apply to an insane amount of jobs and if it's big tech then do hundreds of hours of leetcode (barf), attend meetups and conventions etc that may cost money to network and get a referral to help with the 1000 person job applicant pool
even then it might not be enough, here in SF/Silicon Valley you're competing against top talent worldwide

the barrier to entry for CS is really low in terms of cost of materials (computer and internet) and how widespread and excellent the free learning resources are (you can learn Python from MIT for FREE). Compared to other types of physical engineering where you need that but then you need physical materials and software licenses if there is no free equivalent and the information is out there for free but it's harder to access or too dense to understand easily especially if you're not a native speaker.

you have to know that you love to do this

remember that big tech or startups are not the end all be all of CS jobs. regular companies need you to build and maintain their products too

i believe in all the new and future CS grads who love to code and have a creative drive to solve problems

[pine meteor]

I feel like data science will be the new computer science in terms of job oportunities

just see the annual salaries of AI researchers/engineers in top tech companies

[idle dew]

What would you recommend for total beginners? I was thinking to start sith Javascript

[hasty snow]

You can check 'Bro code' video on youtube, he released a new video in 2024 on js,

I learned js from him too, but from his old YouTube js course

[idle dew]

Thank you🫶🏻🫶🏻!

[eager shadow]

hullo, anyone here work with angular php before? i got some httponly cookie related question~~~ 🍪

[open solstice]

I think it's just a bubble

but now is a good time yes

[open solstice]

I know so many business etc and other engineering majors who are doing data science now

it is hard to find new cs these days because of layoffs and competition

there are just so many people

it's not like you are doing cs you are gonna be successful or you must be smart

everyone does cs

but yeah it's more like our child's problem

the industry is overpopulated

not only cs

but any industry

and economy is fucked up in the entire world atm

so not too many jobs

it is fucked up even in the current market

you have to go over 5 stages of interviews to get a job??

that is mad

and you can get rejected because you were unlucky with some stuf

but yeah company's also can't do anything about it

they just want to lower their risks with hiring someone

if you go over linkedin you see 100+ applicants in 30 mins

for a job where they only take 20 ppl

so yeah ppl are starting to ask for masters

maybe in the future everyone will be researchers or artists

who knows

[open solstice]

i'd say start with a general oop language

so maybe java?

[idle dew]

okay thanks!

[open solstice]

yeah starting with java could also help you to learn others easier imo

[idle dew]

do you have any recommandations where i could learn that? is the odin project good?

[open solstice]

https://java-programming.mooc.fi/

this is good

for basics

[idle dew]

cok tesekkür ederimmmm

[open solstice]

[hushed sequoia]

Grasshopper coding by google is a very good way to learn basics

it's very simple and interactive too

If you manage to finish all projects and do the last couple well, there is an opportunity for an interview with google

[hot fable]

the OR operator always requires the right-hand side to be evaluated because if the left is false, right can be evaluated as true. If left is true, right needs to be evaluated to determine the outcome.

[idle dew]

Yeah but what if the left hand side of the OR operator is true, then regardless of the right hand side, it will always be true.. And it is said that if the left hand side is true .. So I didn't get this..

[idle dew]

Thanks for your time!

[regal path]

Djeve I think you are correct this seems backwards to me

[idle dew]

Yeah , got a point less in this assignment though.. Btw Thanks for the help!

[regal path]

You should speak to your instructor about that

[foggy flame]

can somebody help me understand this

[icy vigil]

Uhh well I'm not too good at subnetting (I failed my networking subject twice already lmao) but like u have to make 12 new IP addresses that derive from the address they give u, the subnet mask is just a bunch of 255s (it seems its a class A ip adress so the subnet mask is probably just 255.0.0.0), also the broadcast station ends with 1 when you convert the address to binary (like idk it would be something like 00001010.10111010.0000111.11111111 u know like having all ones in the last segment)

I saw a short video a while ago that really helped me understand https://youtu.be/nFYilGQ-p-8?si=5EHk98gtY5G6gAW0

[foggy flame]

thank you man

[icy vigil]

Yea dw

I'm horrible at subnetting but I tried my best

Also I suggest u convert every number u get into binary too

[foggy flame]

we're starting with C bc it's the easiest 🥲 i'll see it through

guys could please someone help me for a easy project on arduino? need to do a sensor for fire (it's just for an exam... I don't know like anything about it...)

[pine meteor]

you just need to know that arduino its all 1's and 0's

[modest quiver]

😦

[pine meteor]

broo its true xd

[modest quiver]

help me please ahah, i don't know even where to put the arduino on breadboard

[pine meteor]

what are you trying to do

[modest quiver]

just a flame sensor

wanna just put a flame sensor and a buzzer

[pine meteor]

bro whats the problem then

flame sensor has 4 pins

[modest quiver]

I don't know literraly nothing

[pine meteor]

buzzer has 2 pins

[modest quiver]

yeah it's because I don't wanna study, it's just an exam without sense then I'll never touch programmation stuff, I'm doing Management Engineer 😦

[pine meteor]

wait

here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESB-USNnAlg

[pine meteor]

thats literally what you're asking for

it has the code too https://kandrproject.blogspot.com/2018/01/arduino-with-fire-sensor-led-and-buzzer.html

[modest quiver]

The problem that I bought an arduino esp 32

But thank you bro, I really appreciate it

[pine meteor]

its the small one right?

[pine meteor]

i think it has the same pins as the other one

[modest quiver]

this one, I put it there but like I don't even know what's the meaning of all this numbers and letters

Yeah I'm gonna try now

Now that I'm here I'm feeling ashamed that I don't know nothing ahaha

I think I'm gonna study the minimum

But thank you very much

[pine meteor]

ah its esp32

[modest quiver]

Yeah...

[pine meteor]

so

[glad forum]

Just 2 hours and you will be ok

[pine meteor]

basically

just put the power battery in the 5v and gnd

you know, positive and negative

5v -> positive, GND -> negative

then after that

you put the fire sensor in any 4 pins that you want

the gpio pins

[modest quiver]

what's the power battery

[pine meteor]

this

or this

the battery

it has 2 wires

positive and negative

you put positive in the 5V in the ESP32

and the negative in the GND

[modest quiver]

wait Why I need a power battery? I'm gonna connect with the computer

Also in the video didn't use the battery

[pine meteor]

ah yeah

then

you dont need it

just put the fire sensor in 4 pins

and the buzzer in the another 2 pins

and that's all you have to focus on

on those 6 pins

[modest quiver]

Ok I have just passive or active buzzer

I think it's the same

[pine meteor]

just put one

i dont even know the difference between the passive and active one

just know its buzzes

[modest quiver]

And the cables?

[pine meteor]

so

the connections in a breaboard are in vertical rows

like that

so all 4 pins in vertical are connected with each other

the way you put it

its not connected to anything

breadbord too small

try it like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaNvESZiEXo

for reference:

[pine meteor]

no

[pine meteor]

look at this

it doesnt make sense to put the 4 pins connected with each ohter

other

[modest quiver]

So now I put the sensor in vertical, I need to put it in horizontal?

[pine meteor]

here its like you did this

it doesnt make sense

you connected all 4 pins together

each pin have one function

[pine meteor]

now the pins are separate

[pine meteor]

now you just have to do this

you have to quit the esp32 like the video

because its too big to connect a pin there

[modest quiver]

Aaaah

[pine meteor]

and connect it below

[modest quiver]

can't do it like this?

Need to be like the last video? 😦

[pine meteor]

nothing is connected with nothing

[modest quiver]

Ahahaha

sorry bro I'm a disaster

Told you that I don't literally know anything

[pine meteor]

yess, unless you have a bigger breadbord

[modest quiver]

Ok gonna try it now, thank you very much again

Yes, I'm thinking uint8_t* buckets = nullptr.

[hollow tapir]

how big is NMAX?

[limber grotto]

It is unsigned. There is no other restriction.

[hollow tapir]

do you need binary search functions like in the C++ multiset?

[limber grotto]

Well, a colleague helped me now. Actually, each bit corresponds to a number, I just understood the condition in the wrong way. Thank you very much for your responsiveness!

[pine meteor]

you can open and see the slot of the ram

[pine meteor]

i mean the ram should work but for this open up the laptop from below and see if it has the m sata slot

[regal path]

t420s have msata slots

[keen smelt]

yes it does

[keen smelt]

t420 also has it

hi guys i wonder if anyones has recommendations for websites/documents to learn data structures and algorithms? i have a dsa exam in 2 weeks and have a basic grasp of everything but would like to review on my knowledge. thanks

[idle dew]

well i know of leetcode, they have a data structure algorithm session, but it's mostly programming exercises i think

[glad siren]

thx im currently doing them, just hoping that there would be structured courses for a clear order of learning and stuff

[idle dew]

Leetcode will give you code practice only

This really depends how and what shape your exam will take

What are the resources your course gives you?

You can simply search up Data Structures harvard in youtube and watch entire lectures for the theory

Same goes for algorithms

Those will give you the necessary theoretical insight

But to be honest, the best is always to learn your courses ressources since the questions are built around them

Data Structures:

https://youtu.be/0euvEdPwQnQ

Algorithms:

https://youtu.be/jZzyERW7h1A

there are also entire playlists of full courses on it from MIT, Harvard etc

[idle dew]

is anyone familiar with spin locks

[idle dew]

nvm

[mint sierra]

does anyone has any good dynamic programming course ???

[icy vigil]

Nope, the only thing that changes with distros like arch or debian is where the files could be located in the home folder or the package manager (the one you use to install or build programs), but the command line is pretty much the same in most distros, if you know how to use a linux terminal then you know how to use it with most linux distros to be honest

[icy vigil]

hey guys, im making this number guesser on python and for some reason the first line of the program (type a number) is not printing and it straight goes to the error line (please type a number next time) and then the make a guess happens, what i want the program to do is for it to print the type a number first and then the make a guess line, can someone help me?

nvm the code was fine but i just had to kill the terminal completely cause the loop with the incorrect code just kept going lmao

[round sorrel]

thx

[lethal cosmos]

hi, where i can learn to code html css or js? if you have any video to recomend me or smth its going to help me a lot thanks!

[jolly swallow]

In my current code I am missing a LIST element? Could someone help me include one ?

[icy vigil]

Oh there is this free course on responsive web design with certification on freecodecamp.org , i tried it for a while and it was great

[lethal cosmos]

thanks!

[tepid wharf]

i just need help tbh

im new

[lilac marsh]

hey everyone, what do you think is the best way to study computer architecture?

i feel like it's a lot of content to learn/memorize and not as much problem solving, if you have any useful youtube channels that would be helpful as well

[brave prawn]

if you have any notes of dsa please share it with me as well i am a bit weak in dsa

[glad siren]

i do but theyre not written in english so 😛

sorry

you can search for lecture notes on MIT or Harvard main websites tho

also ive been doing leetcode problems and they sure do have helped so yay

except that i wish i could find a suitable learning source for complex algorithms/problems, since they are likely to appear in my midterms and finals exam

do you guys have recommendations for classic problems for each type of algorithm/data structures?

like, the classic one for me to understanding dynamic programming fundamentals was LCS and LIS

[brave prawn]

where're you from?

[glad siren]

vietnam

[brave prawn]

they're hard for me 😭 like espcially using the "." and " * " pointers and stuff

[glad siren]

but basically my uni adapts from MIT lecture notes and slides so meh

btw which language do u use

[brave prawn]

oh

[brave prawn]

english

[brave prawn]

doesnt leetcode have all varities of problem including LCS and LIS?

or maybe try hackerrank

[glad siren]

yeah i meant what programming language do u use

XD

lol

[glad siren]

yeah just that theyre not really categorized, same for hackerrank. im looking for something more organized or newbie friendly

[brave prawn]

OHH XD
I use C

i am in 2nd semester rn so in college theyre teaching C

[brave prawn]

i also want something like that more organized and stuff tried searching but didnt found one

[brave prawn]

whats your semester?

[glad siren]

eh, 2nd semester in 1st year

[glad siren]

were doing our course in Python. i also learn and use a bit of C/C++ too

but like bro theyre speedrunning everything and i dont get time to practice anything at all

exams coming on tuesday, the week after next

[brave prawn]

lmao youre in same sem as me

[brave prawn]

exactly dude like i can relate so much

[brave prawn]

Welp Goodluck 😭

[twilit wraith]

not even tmux?!?!?!??!?!

[icy vigil]

Ayo you use neovim? Im thinking of switching up to neovim as my text editor in a few months cause i do like doing stuff in command lines but idk if im advanced at it enough to set it up, and also, is it easy to use with C/C++/python/Js and embedded systems usage? Thats what i intend to use it on 😳

btw does anyone have any good video or web page on subnetting?? its urgent 😳

[raw iris]

any sort of text editor benefits from being used to its fullest extend by you so in that sense as long as you learn the keybinds and eventually set your own macros even you‘ll be fine writing anything in it

coming from someone who recently got into it around 5 weeks ago, i would say that it isn't exactly easy but should be no issue if you genuinely dedicate yourself to reading the documentation and referencing off of youtube videos.

you definitely don't need to be advanced enough to get it set up, not at all! although i never configured vim, nvim is integrated with lua and not vimscript and ive heard its a LOT easier configuring, downloading plugins and really anything on lua. you don't really need pre-req knowledge on lua at all, just basic cs ideas (literally tables 😭)

i have my configs setup for C, C++ and python, however I've mainly only done C++ development with it for now. i can't speak for embedded systems usage, and I'm still pretty new to neovim myself however the biggest reason i've gotten neovim in the first place is because it's just so highly configurable to your liking that you can set it up for really any developer environment you'd like. and also i live on the terminal as well LOL

for short, if you're thinking of switching then go ahead and do it! i can provide some resources to get started. i personally configured from scratch but there's kickstart nvim which is amazing for people first getting in without the overhead of having to figure out from scratch and wtf to do

if you don't know your vim motions, start getting used to it cause yk, nvim. and vim motions are just the best way of getting around in your developer setup period

Hey, I'm not sure whether this is the right place for programming questions but: I need to implement the secant method to approximate the root of a function. One of the given functions is f(x)=tanh(x) with initial values x1=-1 and x2=3. This leads to the output NaN because of the asymptotes of tanh. I asked the tutor for help and he told me that if I make the method return an error message for f(x1)*f(x2)>0, all cases with asymptotes should be solved. As you may guess, that didn't work. I asked chat gtp, which implemented an if statement leading to the root becoming infinity. I am at my wits end and could use some help. Here is my code:

double secant(double x1, double x2, double (*func)(double), int &schritt, const double tol )
{
double xn; // Variable für die lineare Approximation
schritt = 0; // Schrittzähler für Konvergenzgeschwindigkeit
//triviale Lösung
if ( func(x1) == 0 ||func(x2)==0)
{
std::cout<<"0";
}
//checken ob f(x1)*f(x1)>0 => return 0
if (func(x1)*func(x2)>0)
{
std::cout<<"Bedingung nicht erfüllt\n";
}
do
{
// Berechne neuen Wert für die lineare Approximation
xn = x2 - func(x2) * (x2 - x1) / (func(x2) - func(x1));

    x1 = x2; // für die nächste Iteration: x2 -> x1
    x2 = xn; // xn -> x2
    schritt++; // Inkrementiere
} while (std::fabs(x2 - x1) > tol); // Iteration wiederhohlen bis gewünschte Genauigkeit erreicht wird

return xn; // Ergebnis

}

Here is the code from chat gpt:

double secant(double x1, double x2, double (*func)(double), int &schritt, const double tol)
{
double xn; // Variable for the linear approximation
schritt = 0; // Step counter for convergence speed

do
{
    // Calculate the new value for the linear approximation
    xn = x2 - func(x2) * (x2 - x1) / (func(x2) - func(x1));

    // Check for NaN or extremely large values
    if (std::isnan(xn) || std::fabs(xn) > 1e10)
    {
        // Adjust interval away from asymptotes
        double mit = 0.5 * (x1 + x2);
        if (func(mit) * func(x1) < 0)
            x2 = mit;
        else
            x1 = mit;
    }
    else
    {
        x1 = x2; // Update for the next iteration: x2 -> x1
        x2 = xn; // Update for the next iteration: xn -> x2
    }

    schritt++; // Increment step counter
} while (std::fabs(x2 - x1) > tol); // Repeat iteration until desired accuracy is achieved

return xn; // Result

}

[raw iris]

how do you call this function? with what params?

[frosty sequoia]

nope just me and my little terminal (kitty ftw)

[frosty sequoia]

i c a c user i upvote

[frosty sequoia]

another embedded systems enjoyer i c

also i literally didnt know anything about setting up neovim i just used nvchad till i decided to watch typecraft playlist

straight to the point and after a couple of videos you will notice a pattern making it easier to add you own neovim plugins

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsz00TDipIffreIaUNk64KxTIkQaGguqn

[gleaming brook]

I call it with res1 = secant(a[i], b[i], funktionen[i], n, tol); where a[i]=-1, b[i]=3, tol=1e-8 and f[i]=f3 which is defined like this : double f3(double x) {
return std::tanh(x);
}

Sorry: funktionen[i]=f3

It's a vector containing other functions (which don't cause any issue)

[icy vigil]

Well I'm using embedded systems on the course I'm doing but I do have an Esp32 module that I will definitely tinker with once I get some vacations hehe 😳

[raw iris]

What's the n param for? This maths stuff is a bit beyond me but so I can't really pin down if there'd be an error there but I know C++

[gleaming brook]

n counts the amount of steps until the desired accuracy (tol) is reached (it is also called speed of convergence).

helloo has anyone done rsa encryption and can help me out? i cant seem how to find d which is the while (1+k*phi)/e

Can someone suggest a good video tut to study recursion which covers backtracking as well.

[tidal hemlock]

hello guys. I want to start coding as a hobby to replace gaming, cuz I don't know what else to do when I'm at my desktop. I know some basic python but that's about it. Where should I start? Should I learn something other than python? Where do I get coding problems to practice?

[forest blade]

you can start with basic data structures in python and move on to projects .... tons of videos on yt

[tidal hemlock]

projects like trying to write an app/script or something like that?

[forest blade]

something like that , i would recommend trying to implement some basic gui using python, i found that to be fun when i was starting out
https://www.youtube.com/@ClearCode
this guy has some great videos on python specifically

[forest blade]

any reputed free algorithms mooc should cover that

[tidal hemlock]

thank you

shoudl i learn something other than python?

i heard its pretty ez to start with coding on python and it gets you going so you can jump onto the other languages

[forest blade]

since your new python should be the best choice since its easy to focus on the main ideas of programming

if u really wanted to go in depth into the gory details of programming, C would be the better choice

[tidal hemlock]

which one

[forest blade]

C

[tidal hemlock]

what about the ++ or #

[forest blade]

too advanced imo, very easy to get overwhelmed

[tidal hemlock]

should i try to learn c++/# after Ive learned C?

[forest blade]

hmmm.... i had the same mindset whn i started lol , but its like ... every programming lang just provides u with a different set of tools to tackle the same problem , what u can solve with c++, u can theoritically do in C / python , so its better to focus on key programming principles using one language you are comfortable with in the beginning

[tidal hemlock]

oh okay

tysm

[true snow]

doesn't answer you question specifically but this video really helped me get comfortable with backtracking problems

[thorn elk]

Does anyone here know how to become an Oracle Certified Java programmer? I would appreciate recommended exams to start with and any other learning resources. Thanks!

[icy vigil]

U mean james?

He has a monitor switch i think

It's a device where you connect multiple computers to it and there is like a button and some of them include usb ports, so what he probably does is start the session on the streaming computer and then switch to the computer he is using for studying

U can get one for a very cheap price it's really good if you use more than one computer at once and you only have a monitor

Do you know a free online tool that print lines and squares in my A4 white paper so I can write my notes in one line so it doenst look messy ?

[glacial leaf]

Hey, guys. I came across a question that said, "describe the process of asymmetric encryption". I would have said, “The message to be sent is encrypted using the sender’s public key and decrypted using the recipient’s private key.” They have it the other way round on the MS, and I'm struggling to wrap my head around that. Clarification would be much appreciated. Please ping in reply and thanks in advance for any help.

[normal hinge]

anyone knows how to run a mern project

i have copied someone' s project and now i dont know how to run it

[raw iris]

you encrypt data with a public key to be decrypted by the corresponding private key. I think it becomes clear if you look at how the rsa key files look for example. Depending on the algorithm used you‘ll have a string sequence that is featured in both pub and private key files. The private key file however is a bit longer. This extra bit is what allows the recipient to decrypt files that have been encrypted using the corresponding public key

[raw iris]

You can think of it in a practical way, too. You never give out your private key. You publish the public key so that encrypted communication can be established between you and any potential sender.

[glacial leaf]

That's exactly what I'm saying in my answer, but the mark scheme suggests that decryption can happen with public keys. Also, how can a private key be used for encryption (when it says "the message to be sent is encrypted using the sender's private key")? I thought that public keys are always for encryption, and private keys are always for decryption.

[raw iris]

decryption shouldn't happen with public keys, kinda defeats the purpose

you can however verify integrity of the data with a public key that has been signed by a private key

which is not encryption, just verifying that the data has not been manipulated
