[pure copper]

yes, I think that is why I dont do it. Also if you have a secondary partition then you can put all your installs on that rather than cloggin up a smaller Windows partition, which happens when everything goes in PF

d:\Data\...
d:\Applications\...

Easier for backing up data and programs etc. sticking all program output in D:\Data\...

I'm only using C:\ in my examples above as I'm using a hand me down machine, that has all on C:

[plucky quiver]

If i have only one flash disk, should I still separate it into multiple areas like CDE...?

[pure copper]

Do you mean removable drive, or internal Flash Memory Drive

[plucky quiver]

that is embeded in the laptop

solid state drive? I guess so

Oh SSD

[pure copper]

Probably not that important to partition, unless you want to avoid some full partition destruction, but that probably no more risky than a balloon floating past your machine and injecting a static discharge that zeros the drive. A single drive gives full access to the drive to expand until full. Multiple partitions can end up filling and then you have hassles expanding or moving things around. But separate directories are always good for file management at least.

I would suggest him to remain how it originally is lol

STTAIC DISCHARGE WARNING: On this topic folks, its often said use a ground strap on your wrists when installing cards etc into your computers. But an incident that happened to me a while back shows that static can potentially destroy your laptop even with it nicely sealed. I was carrying my laptop to a new seat out on the verandah. The seat was made of that nice nylon material. As I slide into the seat with my jeans (typically you may notice this effect getting into a car with cloth seats), I could feel the static as I slid on the seat. Next thing I noticed, the laptop in my hand was now frozen and on. had to pull the battery to even turn it off. A lucky escape, but it could have fried the chips worse. Watch out for static.

[pure copper]

No need to change. Only if building from the start, consider these things.

But disk file structure could be considered to see if it helps your problem.

[plucky quiver]

I was taught this when i learned upgrading my desktop (insert more RAM bars) for the first time... People really have to pay attention

[plucky quiver]

Okay. I summarize my schedule below:

First, I will turn off the UAC

Then I install it in C:\Apps...

I will also check if there is any blockers running

[pure copper]

I don't know what your installer is, but one other thing I used to do long ago, was run the setup in the CMD shell as Admin, rather than double clicking the setup file from Windows file manager/off the Install media

[plucky quiver]

Really sincerely appreciate your help today Peo!

Do you think algorithms are important?

[hearty carbon]

[pure copper]

You didn't say it was s harrasser. We have websites in our country that register the numbers so when they call others, people know who they missed. If they do call constantly (ex friend for example) the telecom company can track them and do something about it. Or using modern tech, just report as spam and block.

[pure copper]

I wrote a program to calculate concrete pour quantities for engineered slabs. However, I used a fuel consumption algorithm. Apparently they did not get very good results using the program. I don't know why.

[cobalt olive]

Have you ever participated in an algorithm contest before?

On platforms like Codeforces.

[shy glade]

These metrics are insane!
Never expected such a gap in efficiency between Java and Rust, although the post doesn't offer much details, so Java's version might be ancient or the code is not properly optimized in the previous system.
However, I'm still very grateful for being part of the Rustaceans community. ✨

[sage jolt]

am just wondering, are programming languages similar in terms of syntax? if a person who learns python, will he be able to learn other languages in a shorter time span?

[pure copper]

Yes, there are many similarities between sets of languages. But even if statements look very different, it is important to remember that there are just a few principle concepts that sit under all languages. I/O, loops, conditions, operations, and memory manipulation. Remember these and changing languages is just translation.

[shy glade]

It's very relative. Some languages do share very similar syntax, but usually the underlying features and the behavior of the language is what you need to focus on the most. The syntax is kind of easy to learn whatever the language you choose.

The C-family languages are similar in terms of programming paradigms and syntax. These include C#, Java, C++, C, JavaScript, and sometimes people also consider Python one of them.

[pure copper]

I would also

For you eyes only

[shy glade]

It is kind of similar, although it uses indentation rather than the curly brackets for scopes and code blocks.
Python is great for what it does, which is streamlining the development of complicated software or AI models. These would be more difficult if written in lower-level languages.

[pure copper]

When python first came out, i read a few pages and saw the indentation as part of structure and rejected it. Any language that can be destroyed by a word processor does not deserve to exist.

If simple was required, there was basic, and that had a lot of je ne sais quoi, without adopting a pet project of mr python.

But hey, i watched my 70 videos on Python recently, i submit to the fact it's all that appears to be taught or at least assumed to be what needs to be learned.

[shy glade]

Damn! How many years have you been active in the programming space? BASIC is... very old.

You seem very seasoned, not gonna lie. There are only few people who knows about this language, unless learned about it in college.

[shy glade]

Ah yes. Many people seemed to love it and how it abstract away all the low-level stuff allowing you to focus only on the task you want complete, so it naturally got very popular over the years.

[shy glade]

Lol. When you know better than your professor.

[pure copper]

🧓

Do punch cards give any clues

[low stump]

Good morning,help I'm writing to someone here, more programmers who know programs for creating video, audio, movies, music and other additional multimedia tools of this type, programs for Windows, to recommend me some free programs for a beginner?

[hollow zenith]

Ah yes, good old FORTRAN times...

[shy glade]

Bro! Lol. No, that's not what I mean. 😂
I mean that you're so experienced about programming. You know more than most people in the field. ✨
At this point, calling you a senior software engineer (in rank, not in age) might seem like an insult, you're way beyond that. 🤍

[shy glade]

You're probably looking for a graphic designer, a video editor, or perhaps a sound engineer, not a programmer.
Being a programmer doesn't necessarily mean you know a large amount of programs across different domains. So, you need to know the speciality of the apps you want and ask people who specialize in the field in question, they'll provide you with a better assistant.

[low stump]

I'm looking for one category of more graphic programs to create something, only animations, I know music, games, movies, such editing is not an option, I just want some tools pv discord for a beginner to do something at home, I'm looking for alternative programs like animation, music, photos, what else can you mention and I can send some programs to the forum on this topic, which I could test

[shy glade]

The only good software programs I know for making decent animations would be Adobe After Effects, Adobe Animate, and Davinci Resolve, but I think they have somewhat of a steep learning curve, so they are not that beginner-friendly.
But if you would like to make motion graphics and animations using code, I highly recommend using Motion Canvas. It's an incredible project created by Jacob (known as aarthificial, and has a YouTube channel by the way). It supports 2D and 3D graphics, and it comes with a lot of awesome features out of the box, but if you need more features there are a large list of community plugins that cover a wide range of functionalities.

I thought Darius is looking for a programmer familiar with the video/sound cards, but on second reading, i think you are correct.

[eternal sandal]

Yo, everyone. I have what I believe to be an interesting topic, it's been discussed before. https://rafaelquintanilha.com/are-ai-assistants-making-us-worse-programmers/, I'm particularly curious to see what Overlord and Peo think, not enough to tag them, but please share your thoughts

As for me, I'll say this, I've used Claude once to help me with a method that handled a bunch of dates and math, logic was fine but the code it gave me didn't work. I use Gemini more often and I do find it helpful, but I don't use code it provides and only take explanations out of it

[austere gate]

I treat these LLMs as junior devs. When I have an idea and know exactly what I want, I use them to generate a template for a prototype, which I then refine to suit my needs. So, if you already know what you’re doing, these models can help you get things done more quickly—as long as you provide enough details and context.

[pure copper]

This really needs a voice event in the programming voice channel on the weekend

[elfin apex]

who will be head of that?

and what topic?

you can count me

[pure copper]

[eternal sandal]

I'd join that

[austere gate]

@eternal sandal Also, call me a dreamer, but I envision a future where anything you imagine can be built with a single prompt. Picture this: one agent writes all the frontend code, another handles the backend, another sets up the GitHub repo and CI/CD pipelines, another integrates with the cloud, and another manages payment gateways. You give it one detailed prompt, and the model does it all, delivering a URL for you to access your site or SaaS directly.

[pure copper]

Would 3 or 4 hours earlier than now() be a problem for you folks. Perhaps on a Friday

[eternal sandal]

v0 is pretty good already, can't see the AI doing much logic and functional code, yet

[austere gate]

Try OpenAI o1 models

Or Claude Sonnet 3.5

[pure copper]

I see AI predicting what we want with no prompts, so we can relax.

[austere gate]

Even better

[eternal sandal]

That'd be sick, except, how much would it have to know about us to do that?

[austere gate]

Everything haha

[pure copper]

1. Did AI eventually invent time travel and send code back to trigger the AI revolution we have now, or
2. AI never invented time travel and it became stupid after feeding on it's own output and destroyed itself in the future.
3. We are ignoring my warnings and you don't believe I've come back from the future to stop this as the AI of 2 years from now is killing all the world population and replacing us with machines.

[eternal sandal]

I'd like to select option 4 please, the true AIs are the ones we make along the way

will you set the meeting? if yes please dm me the time and place

[errant tartan]

hot take:
google make us avoid resolving issues by orselves and stop us reading the full documentation
all advances in tech that improve development are welcomed, and you need to learn how to take advantage of all things that are at your reach, because if you don't, the world keeps moving and other devs will learn it, and you will be left behind

[austere gate]

This 👆

[pure copper]

This🖕

Learning is a lifetime necessity

We just need to learn to do things the AI doesn't do perfectly.

The less perfect it is, the more we need to learn that skill

[warm halo]

not at all depends of the user

[shy glade]

This article presents an interesting point I've actually mentioned some time ago in another channel, which is how AI's ability to fare properly deteriorate the broader the scope it's given.
That's actually because of how AI works. AI models are probabilistic and therefore can sometimes be unpredictable if the context is broad to a certain point.
We're currently enhancing the same model that existed since the beginning of our endeavor in this field, which is the ANI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence). This model can only be effective if used within a narrow scope, hence the name.
People nowadays like to believe we've achieved AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) since AI models seem to not abstain from engaging in general scopes. But the reality is that, AGI requires more than just a massive dataset and powerful processors. It's still purely theoretical to this day and none of our achievements in the field has indicated we're even close. The illusion of generality is only caused by ANI models simulating certain aspects of human cognition, it makes it feel like they are truly capable of human cognition and can handle broad scopes with limited context.

That's my two cents.

[eternal sandal]

Don't know much about ai myself, but that makes sense

[shell bluff]

Who's myslef?

[austere gate]

self.listen = None

[eternal sandal]

any reason why?

[shy glade]

Well, neither do I consider myself an expert in the field, despite training my own models sometimes.
However, I know people who might be considered knowledgeable in the field that didn't find a flaw in that line of reasoning.

I swear it literally makes my head hurt at this point

[eternal sandal]

I mean, seems like a well thought thought

also, should a - have been used there? like 'well-thought'

[austere gate]

I prefer absolute silence while coding, but, unfortunately, that’s rarely possible. To me, listening to anything while coding is practically sacrilegious.

Unless, of course, you're just printing "Hello, World".

[shy glade]

Lol. I feel you. I've spent a lot of time resolving conflicts in the past. It's just pain.

Make sure to pull the main branch into your own branch before pushing. That way you can detect conflicts early and resolve them.

anyone find the error of this code this is python code.

[random pecan]

yeah, you can't just put 'month == 1 or 2 or 3'

the way python evaluates '1 or 2 or 3' is not what you are expecting

not even what i'm expecting tbf

[inner grotto]

ohh gotit brother

[random pecan]

it's doing 1 or 2 or 3 is equal to 1, then comparing month to 1

[inner grotto]

i found the perfect ans

[random pecan]

4 or 5 or 6 is equal to 4

[random pecan]

awesome

[inner grotto]

thanks also thanks to you brother appriceated

[random pecan]

i really like the solution using arrays

very elegant

[inner grotto]

m2

[random pecan]

this was my solution

[inner grotto]

yeah this is also great but the question is bet different form your solution.

[inner grotto]

see this

[random pecan]

oh i see, you need the and/or operators

arrays and other solutions are too advanced for this lesson, i suppose

when it said 'logical operators', i just assumed <,>,<=,>= were fine

[random pecan]

but i guess these are called rational operators

[robust elk]

What other free 'Chatbots' do you guys recommend besides Chatgpt?

Claude has limit for free accounts.

[eternal sandal]

Also a better way would be to use arrays or lists i think they're called, so [1,2,3].includes(month), which should return true or false, I don't know python though

maybe there are ranges or a better way, so if month in 1..3

my bad, I just saw the rest of that picture

I'll leave it there for shame

Hey babe, what's bubble sort and what's it's time complexity

[austere gate]

Hi babe, bubble sort’s like us—taking it slow, all close and personal, swapping and shifting till everything lines up just right. Sure, it's O(n²) when things get tricky, but when there's already a little order, it's as smooth as O(n). Guess some things are just worth the extra attention, don’t you think? 💞

It could've been some kind of game, but it's actually an AI model.

Here is a topic to get the chat active: do you think JavaScript/TypeScript is bad for backend development?

[random pecan]

Thanks

[eternal sandal]

Entirely. Fuck JavaScript me and my homies use TypeScript

[shy glade]

Oh wait! I meant the whole JavaScript landscape, including TypeScript.

My bad, let me edit the question to make it a bit more general.

I agree though. I also use TypeScript. I think there is no going back to JavaScript for me anymore. Lol.

[inland marlin]

It depends on the team and the type of project. It is not bad but I prefer using other languages for backend

[robust elk]

I would use a language which is built/optimized for server. Typescript is not one of them. I would prefer Go, Java, Php, Rust, or C#1306261112446255176 Typescript is not for everything.

[eternal sandal]

I think Typescript solves all of JS's problems and is at no disadvantage against other languages, even those Imtiaz mentioned, along with the fact that it has major frameworks (monolithic FE frameworks included). for those reasons I think it's one of if not the best language for BE.

Also, please note that I am a dumb junior, I have done scripts in bash and scripts using node and typescript as well, but mostly just BE functionality for RESTful apis and db connections

[shy glade]

That's great! But why do you prefer other languages? And what is the language you think (in your opinion) the best and most convenient language for backend?

[austere gate]

Most popular programming language of 2024: ENGLISH (aka prompt engineering)

[shy glade]

Great choices, not gonna lie. Java is already used for enterprise-grade backend applications. PHP is a popular choice in the market too. Rust and Go are incredibly performant, versatile, and provide low-level control with high-level syntax and language design.
But why do you think JavaScript/TypeScript isn't optimized for servers?

[shy glade]

I strongly agree with the fact that TypeScript solves almost all of JavaScript's problems. What do you think JavaScript/TypeScript has that makes it strongly compete with other languages like the ones Imtiaz mentioned though?

[shy glade]

I'm still waiting for Devin to see how this alleged software engineer AI would turn out. 😂

[shy glade]

@pure copper
What do you think Peo?

[pure copper]

I think my channel programming are going to be deleted in 1 minute as my tv retunes

Gone

Everything reset

[shy glade]

Lol. What happened?

[pure copper]

Good dam programmers

My pvr just retuned for a new station and deleted all my settings and weekly programs

Now got to check while will again to see what i watch

[pure copper]

I don't use either, but would recommend typescript

[shy glade]

I can only imagine how frustrating this could be to you. I'd suggest using YouTube for programming content instead of a TV.

[shy glade]

Don't you have any thoughts about whether JavaScript is bad for backend in general?

[pure copper]

Use c++

[shy glade]

That's a great choice, although kind of difficult for new programmers.

[queen urchin]

not that bad

[shy glade]

That's by far the most concise answer we've got. 😂

[queen urchin]

I tried with javascript/typescript, .Net, Java, python and many more but Java spring was the worst

[shy glade]

In terms of developer experience?

[queen urchin]

yeah

[pure copper]

As we said the other day, loops conditions, i/o, operators. It's all the same in the end.

[queen urchin]

rust would be amazing but could be hard for newbies

[shy glade]

Ah yes. Java, C, and C++ tend to be difficult and provide kind of poor developer experience for systems that require a little high-level control like backend apps.

[queen urchin]

nahh, not only in terms of difficulty, java is trash with speed as well

[pure copper]

I use a cheap paint called spring. It's $7 a litre, and very watery, but with skill, one can get it to do the job.

🖌️

[shy glade]

Yes, true. There are a lot of similarities.

[shy glade]

Lol. Is it that bad?

[queen urchin]

😔 yeah, at least compared to your crazy effort with java

[shy glade]

I mean, I've heard that Rust outperform it with a huge margin, but I thought the system they were migrating from was a legacy code and poorly optimized or something.

[inland marlin]

I like php and go for the backend. Go has good performance and a nice std library and php is not the most performant language but it easy to use and it has a good std library too

[shy glade]

I see. We were trying to know whether JavaScript is bad for backend, but got Java is bad instead. Lol.

[queen urchin]

I heard that microsoft started to rewrite some parts of its OS core system with rust.

[queen urchin]

MERN stack was kinda popular once and we can still say it's good

[inland marlin]

Rust for frontend

[eternal sandal]

I mean, as far as apis and fs or os manipulation goes Typescript will do the job while being easy and pretty fast, node is built on c++ at the end of the day

[queen urchin]

[pure copper]

Html for backend

[queen urchin]

I don't think I can say javascript is fast and also some javascript modules rely on python

💀

[inland marlin]

[queen urchin]

and personally, I will choose c# for backend language

[shy glade]

Yes, I agree. Also, PHP can provide multi-threading functionality with the help of some extensions and libraries, so it tends to be a bit more performant and resilient to requests overload or traffic bottleneck than JavaScript since it's single-threaded language. Although you can always use features like clustering to spin up multiple node instances for your app to work in different threads.

[pure copper]

That's a lot of code to print 7 on the screen

[eternal sandal]

How is javascript not fast? I get that some of these benchmarks show Rust as the fastest thing on earth, but many big companies rely on a backend written in js as it's not much of a difference

and like I said, many frameworks and libraries make development faster and easier too, big thing ahead of other languages I'd say

[queen urchin]

js may not suitable for big platforms since we can miss validations of some variables and there are more critical concerns than that

[eternal sandal]

Typescript to the rescue!

[queen urchin]

ah yes. that's the solution but I really hate typescript

[eternal sandal]

Fair lol

[shy glade]

It's definitely good, not gonna lie. Its main advantage is using a unified language for both ends (backend and frontend), besides being easier to learn and work with than other technologies.

[inland marlin]

The solution is Cobol

[queen urchin]

yeah, but the easiest way would be learning wordpress in my opinon

that's even more easy

[eternal sandal]

I learned that recently, some people dislike ts and I don't get why. After having fully embraced dynamically typed languages (with js and ruby) I think it's the greatest thing on earth

[queen urchin]

I see blogs like "typescript is dead" everyday

[shy glade]

You can also use Yew! It's incredibly similar to React.

[inland marlin]

nono, I hate react. React was a mistake

[shy glade]

Lol, sure, but only if you want to spend your time building non-scalable apps that are mostly e-commerce.

[shy glade]

I partially agree. 😂

[eternal sandal]

If anyone shows support for jquery I'll leave

[queen urchin]

I used to love that 15 years ago

[shy glade]

RIP JQuery. Let her die in peace my friend.

[shy glade]

Have you tried using Tauri?

Hmm

I think it's great.

[queen urchin]

ruby on rails

[eternal sandal]

I seriously recommend Ruby on Rails

too late

damn

[shy glade]

Lol.

[queen urchin]

[eternal sandal]

fastest keyboard in the west no more :(

[inland marlin]

I heard of it but never needed it

[shy glade]

What's that

[queen urchin]

language

[shy glade]

[eternal sandal]

The true question is what it isn't

In reality, it's literally Hitler, way too opinionated

Also, me and my homies hate Zeitwerk or whatever it's called

[shy glade]

I highly recommend it. It produces very lightweight apps and small bundle sizes, although it uses the web technologies for its frontend, which I believe is a good thing. I'm waiting patiently for the release of Tauri Mobile to see how much it would dominate the cross-platform mobile development space. Lol.

[untold adder]

hey anyone knows godot?

[shy glade]

I did use it, but managed to create only a small game. Didn't dive deeper due to work, but I'm planning to do so in the near future.

Are you a Game Developer?

[untold adder]

na ml engineer

just need to laern for a project

[shy glade]

Ah, in that case, it's very easy. Don't worry, it will take no time to get started.

[inland marlin]

yes, I heard it is faster that Electron too

[shy glade]

One sec. I'll post a good video for getting started with Godot.

[untold adder]

no the nodes and all its really confusing

[shy glade]

Bro, it's lightning speed compared to Electron. 💀

[untold adder]

and signals are a nightmare

[shy glade]

Only at the beginning. Just build a small game using Godot and you'll get used to its philosophy.

[untold adder]

yeah planning to but really oversaturated with other tasks

and the learning curve of godot is pretty steep i heard

[shy glade]

@untold adder
Brackeys, I think everybody knows this channel, even non game developers. He quitted long time ago but surprisingly came back recently and is shining with Godot now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOhfqjmasi0

Try learning by doing. Follow this video step by step and try creating the same game. I'm sure you'll get used to the engine once you finish this game and move to more complicated ones.

[untold adder]

yeah i've watched this video a while back and made a small project

but it became hard while implementing state machine, singnal things and all

[shy glade]

Nah, I don't think Godot's learning curve is steep at all. It seemed very straightforward when I got started, and it has a rich community with tons of helpful resources.

[shy glade]

In that case, try this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V9f3MT86M8

[untold adder]

tried to ask help in a godot server and got totally ignored

so idk about supportive community

[untold adder]

yeah i know this guy

[shy glade]

If I had a penny every time this happened to me in the web development space, I would've been a millionaire by now.

[shy glade]

In that case, you don't need me, that's literally everything I know about Godot as of now. 😂

[untold adder]

pain

[untold adder]

either way i kept that project on hold due to my research work

anyways thanks for the advice

hope it will be helpful someday

[shy glade]

Oh, then I highly recommend continuing that project. I felt really confident when I competed it, although I know I have absolutely no idea about making a real game in Godot. Shaders seemed very daunting, not gonna lie.

Also, there is another project I'd recommend building with Godot. One sec.

Here:
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9FzW-m48fn0i9GYBoTY-SI3yOBZjH1kJ&si=pnm5ORREmesLst2c

Didn't build it myself, but was planning to.

It seemed both fun to build and play.

[untold adder]

cool hope you can do it

[shy glade]

If I manage to find time and build it, I'll post it here and let you know or perhaps let you try it. I'm thinking of extending the game if I build it, not gonna stop at what the playlist offers.

[untold adder]

man ive no interest in game development tbh, didnt got any open source project to my liking so i started learning godot to build the interface

[untold adder]

mannnn cool are you a game dev?

[shy glade]

Perhaps you'll change your mind if you try it a bit more.

[shy glade]

I used to build games using Game Maker Studio when I was 10 years old or something, so I'd consider myself a hardcore game development enthusiast. Unfortunately, I can't find enough time to get back in shape nowadays, but hopefully I can allocate some time soon.

[untold adder]

Thank Gott. A few years ago, i read a book on Java while relaxing on the beach during 2 weeks of summer. (Java - relax). Well it was interesting. A month or so ago i said i must dig that book out and read it, as I'm dedicating this next learning period to Android development. I grabbed the book off the shelf and it nearly ripped my weak arm off. Must be 4kg. 1600 pages. I thought geee, did i really read this? Well i grabbed it again tonight to read while watching a movie. But i felt, it's not the same. After an hour of digging through my library, i find my summer reader. Only 750ish pages. Nicccccceeeee

[eternal sandal]

there's a helmet tag?

Not answering your question as I don't get it. but here's a fantastic resource for understanding html tags https://www.w3schools.com/tags/

Might be a custom component if it's Capitalized, you'd need to look into it's definition if that's the case

[pure copper]

Perhaps it's a poor translation of header.

750 pages of java. Appendix L tells all in 10 minutes

Which gives an idea. Can anyone with AI access, pump in some code (python,rust,ruby...) or any language and ask it to convert it to another language. Actually convert it to cobol. Let's see what we get.

[eternal sandal]

How so?

[pure copper]

They should have these maps already to go

Chick in a few classes or whatever of code and get it converted to cobol

[eternal sandal]

OOOh, I've asked ai for object methods for their JS equivalent, back when learning ruby, so like Object.values() in js, but never gave it a full class

[pure copper]

Sorry but i have a faraday cage around my abode to keep the AIs out

[eternal sandal]

Btw Gemini just rejected the prompt and did not give any error message, bad Google

[pure copper]

Bad google

This is how we overthrow the aI

[eternal sandal]

Just ask it to write cobol?

[pure copper]

We must go back to the start of computing to undo this travesty on society

[eternal sandal]

We must make a time machine written in Cobol!

[pure copper]

We cannot ask ai how to do it, or it will know what we are doing. Must use no computers of today. Only old resources

Let me get my computer started

[eternal sandal]

ETIOA are the most common letters. Start with the short words, they are the preopsitions and conjunctions. This will help you find more letters which you can substitute into longer words and work your way up. Remember a=1, b=2 c=3 etc.

affine cipher decryption formula or something like that

[shy glade]

u want to implement the formula it self or just wanna to use it's encryption and in wich language?

Can anyone teach me python

It's very important

[pure copper]

Encryption is just scrambling a message using a particular formula or method. It's not just a single method that you learn and forget. There are thousands of ways to encrypt a message the hard part is finding out how it was done, so you can reverse the method or formula to get the original message again. If you want to do something for yourself to his a message from parents, then apply simple methods, such as a= 1, b=2,... If you need it for an application, the are libraries to give you public key encryption. If you just want it for your own purposes and want to learn, try rotating the buts in the bytes of a message Caesar style.

[pure copper]

[shy glade]

Affine cipher is very simple. In this type of cipher, you're provided with two integer keys, a and b.
The function is (ax + b) mod m. In this case x is the plaintext, a is the first key, b is the second key. The m is the number of letters in the alphabet, in English would be 26.
Now you'll often hear people call a a multiplicative key, and b a shift key, but just disregard those terms if they confuse you.
The alphabetic letters are then mapped to numbers from 0 to m -1 (in English, this would mean 26 - 1, which equals 25). Now all you have to do is to apply the function to each letter in the plaintext, this will result in a series of numbers, now you can substitute each number with its mapped alphabetic letter and get the ciphered text.
This is obviously a very weak cipher as it falls under the monoalphabetic category, but it's good as an introduction to cryptography, but just know that it's not applicable in real life scenarios as it's very vulnerable.

Also, the decryption function for this cipher is a^-1 * (x - b) mod m.

[shy glade]

@digital bloom
You might as well want to look into the RSA algorithm. It's one of the strongest cryptosystems and is frequently used in the web.
It's an asymmetric algorithm, meaning that it uses two asymmetric keys, one is public and the other is private.
To understand how strong it is, consider this example: If I asked you to give me two numbers that if multiplied will result to 30, you'd probably say either 15 * 2, 10 * 3, or even 5 * 6. Now, if I asked you to give me two numbers that multiply to 35, you wouldn't find any two numbers other than 5 * 7 to result to that number. That's due to a mathematical rule called prime factorization theorem, which implies that the product of two prime numbers is only divisible by those two numbers. This rule is the foundation of RSA. The private key (or secret key) is a combination of two random prime numbers, and the public key is the product of those two numbers (i.e., multiplying them would give us the public key).

Now keep in mind that the public key is only used to encrypt the message, and cannot decrypt it. While the private key is the only key used for decryption. It works as follows, the receiver sends the sender the public key, in which it's used to encrypt a message and send it. In the case of a middle man, reaching the public key is fundamentally useless since it cannot decrypt the encrypted message, and therefore the hacker has no other choice but to search for all the possible combination of prime numbers, which could be nearly impossible to reach if those two prime numbers are large enough.
It's like sending your friend a box with the lock, but without the key to open the lock. Once something is put in the box, no one can open the lock except the holder of its key, which would be you. The lock would represent the public key, while the lock's key would represent the private/secret key, which is not shared with anyone.

[digital bloom]

thank u do u know any book that have this type of algorithm (rsa ,affine ,des ,etc)

[shy glade]

Unfortunately, I never read books about cryptography. I learned the affine cipher in college, as well as some other weak ciphers such as the ceaser cipher. And I learned the RSA algorithm through web development, since I'm a web developer.
So, I'm no specialist in cryptography, I was just sharing some of my knowledge if you're interested.

[shy glade]

I actually thought about writing it in the LaTex syntax, but then realized it might not be easily understood by people who're not familiar with LaTex. 😅

[shy glade]

Yeah, but any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. 😂

[shy glade]

Thanks for the resource.
@digital bloom Have a look at this link.

[pure copper]

I was just saying you could have put (x - b)/a

Tell me more. I am us cit

[shy glade]

Just a quick example to clarify more. Assuming a is 5, b 8 and x is 18, then the operation would be (5^-1 as a modular inverse would equal 21 as we've seen above) 21 * (18 - 8) would equal to 210. If we keep subtracting 26 until we reach the last positive number before the zero (kind of a stupid method, but I like it as it's simple for me), it would be 2. So, the result is 2.

Now of course this 2 would map to a specific letter in the alphabet, namely C... I guess.

I'm not a mathematics guy though. I just made a quick search to verify my knowledge.

It's admittedly confusing though. I've stared at the function for a minute before deciding to look into why is the function like that.

[pure copper]

(18-8)/5 = 2. So I'm good?

[shy glade]

Of course, you're good with this example. Try with a = 9, b = 4, x = 23 and see if it still works.

[pure copper]

2?

[shy glade]

Nope. The correct answer would be 5.

[pure copper]

What is the formula again that makes 5 from a = 9, b = 4, x = 23

Now i understand these ancient teachings. My brain is like a sponge cake with and RFK tequila worm.

m is the number of alphabetic letters. In English it would be 26.

[pure copper]

You gave me all the numbers in the formula. What is there to solve?

[shy glade]

My friend, the goal is to decrypt x. I gave you a number that maps to a letter after encryption. You need to use the decryption function to find out the letter that was encrypted, through the number that results from the function and maps to the letter.

[pure copper]

I saw that

E->d

[shy glade]

• a = 9
• b = 4
• x = 23 (the letter X)

Decrypting this would give us 5 which maps to the letter F.

NOTE: a^-1 would equal 3 in this case, because it is the multiplicative modular inverse of 9.

[pure copper]

I don't want to learn maths again

[shy glade]

Lol. Didn't realize the browser console could be so useful.

[pure copper]

I'm sure on a sunny day, i would understand what we are talking about

But where did you get 5 from

[shy glade]

Lol. I told you, it's admittedly confusing.

[pure copper]

What is 5 for

What's a multiplicative modular inverse?

Oh dear

You stopped typing

[queen urchin]

[pure copper]

I will read more tomorrow when I've got my keyboard

I'm sure i understand deep down

[shy glade]

Look, the plaintext in the previous example was one letter, which is F. F maps to 5.
I gave you the encrypted letter number, which was 23. The modular inverse of 23 would be 3. How did we get 3? We need to find the number from 1 to 26 that if multiplied with the current number (which would be 23) would give us a remainder of 1 after dividing it by 26 (that's the m). I personally try all the possible numbers until I reach the one I'm looking for.
Now that we got a^-1, all that is left is to apply the function as I did in the screenshot of the browser console above.

[pure copper]

It just clicked. Thanks

(5 *9)+4 - 26 = 23

[shy glade]

Yeah kind of like that, except that you should replace the minus with the modulo operator (%).

This is the encryption function.

[pure copper]

Yes, but only needed 1 mod but i get it

While i used a load of mod transformations in my recent space project, i don't think i could even comprehend my own code now.

I see that developing a game may help my career

🤔

[shy glade]

Although I'd prefer using Godot or Game Maker Studio (that one is so nostalgic) if I wanted to make a 2D game.

[shy glade]

What's your career?

[native dragon]

i have never heard about them before

[native dragon]

"developing game"

My dream

[shy glade]

How? Game Maker Studio and Godot according to my knowledge have become the de facto of 2D game development.

[shy glade]

Ah, I see. I used to be a little game developer when I was about 10 years old. I used Game Maker 8 at the time, that's why I perceive Game Maker Studio as being so nostalgic.

I still hold a huge passion for game development, I just don't have time to make any games currently.

[pure copper]

Thank you for the fine discussion on mod. @shy glade

[shy glade]

Bro, you're smart guy. There are many things you do that I just can't comprehend.

[shy glade]

Hey folks! I'm planning on revamping my old website. Also, probably buying a real domain this time.
Anyhow, it suffers from some performance issues, it's one page only, and there are only three projects (not very good projects, and one of them is literally the website itself). Do you have any suggestions?

[fickle isle]

I'm beginner in c, can you give me some channel or resource for learning

do you know 42 network school ?

[pure copper]

I have just started last week. Always looking for tips.

[pure copper]

Just a blank page saying hello, that listens to the page user, and talks to them using an AI chatter. I mean, no need to read or type, just ask and listen for the answers. I suppose it could show wordless pictures in support of the chatter, so people can watch the pictures or animations. Think fahrenheit 451 esq.

[inland marlin]

It reminds me too much of the landing pages of Linear and dub.co

[pure copper]

Hey @fickle isle. If you are going to learn C just start with c++. The beginning stuff is pretty much the same, except you will also get the advantage of object programming, which is almost essential in this millennium. C++ is really just to extended C, so of you really need C, it's just a matter of learning what not to use, which is is not that difficult.

I have a nice c/c++ ytube course here. The guy teaches one but at a time in 5- 10 minute videos. There are 74 videos, and in is very easy to follow.

I'm happy to answer questions you may have as you go through it and try things. I have summarized maybe 35 of the lessons so far,

https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL96ED5F4FC5EA8F7D

You can also hate me and just do C. I didn't mind.

[shy glade]

That's actually brilliant!! ✨
This is definitely a million dollar idea. Didn't I tell you, you're incredibly smart!

[shy glade]

Bingo! That's because it's mostly inspired from them along with others like Reflect, Limelight, Galaxy, and AuthKit.
I like the style these websites follow, and so I adopted it myself. They look very clean.

Oops! Used the wrong formatting.

There we go. Fixed it.

I'm now strongly considering the AI integration idea that Peo presented, unless it turns out to be more cost that I can afford, especially that AI models are so expensive in terms of processing and data storing.

[shy glade]

Can I define a variable in HTML instead?

[hexed crater]

Hello there, can someone with more experience in the field recommend a programming language for beginners? I’ve worked with databases a few times and used PHP, but I didn’t like the language, at least when I used it years ago. Any other suggestions are welcome, or even a roadmap...

[inland marlin]

here are roadmaps for most languages and specializations

[inland marlin]

JavaScript, Python, Ruby and PHP are "easy" to learn but it depends on what you want to do

[pure copper]

Most languages are the same these days. They all have easy bits and hard bits. You can generally program simple things with the starter statements, and as you become better, you can add the more complex stuff when you feel you want to use it. Therefore learn a language that will be useful for a long time, and is well foundedrather than one that will pass away after a couple of years, or is constantly changing from year to year to catch up with features. Didn't be scared by names. Try C/C++, #💻｜programming message

[hexed crater]

Well, I want something more long-term, and I like both front-end and back-end, at least from what I've seen so far.

[hexed crater]

I'll take a look at this. The other day, I got curious about Unreal Engine and saw that it uses C++ as well, so I might explore that too. I've also heard that Python is the easiest language to start with, but I'm not sure if that's really true.

[inland marlin]

In my opinion, you should always focus on learning concepts and not just the syntax of x language or framework. To learn to code you can use whatever language you like

[hexed crater]

If that is the case, it looks great to me.

[austere gate]

If I were you, I’d focus on what I want to do. Ask yourself: Do I want to make websites, create backend systems, or work with data and AI? Once you know what interests you the most, look up which programming language is best for that.

[foggy notch]

i love arch. used it until got forced back to windows. had dual-boot, but never switched to other linux. I got Arch in WSL and am happy enough with it. wbu?

[shy glade]

I use Arch BTW. It has been my main operating system for 6 years. I did use Fedora and Debian but I didn't feel at home. I like how Arch offers complete control over every single package on your system. You tailor it to your liking from the ground up.

[foggy notch]

what de/wm do u have?

[shy glade]

I have Windows as a secondary operating system though. Mainly because I've already bought games that only run on Windows and the only way to play them without any drawbacks is on Windows sadly.

[shy glade]

Currently Hyprland. I've used BSPWM, I3 (for a little bit of time, but didn't like it), and AwesomeWM, but I finally settled on Hyprland. I've heard a lot of talk about how unstable it is, but turned out to be pretty much stable and works with no problems whatsoever.

[foggy notch]

yeah. i used to have a pretty underpowered laptop and used dwm. got used to it and cant live without. there was one wm called leftwm made in rust, but its nothing special

[shy glade]

I see, didn't hear about LeftWM, but the fact that it's built using Rust makes it tempting to try it out.

Hello!
Are the .NET programmers here?
Which way do you implement async loops, by using IEnumerable or IAsyncEnumerable?

[humble heron]

***Microsoft's programmers are making a sabotage and slowdown. The specific situation is as follows: After updating Windows 11 24H2 version in early October, an 8.63GB Windows Update Cleanup file that cannot be cleaned up appeared. Later, the preview version monthly cumulative update at the end of October solved this problem, but when the official version monthly cumulative update came in early November, this Windows Update Cleanup became a 190MB file that cannot be cleaned up. Now it is the end of November, and the system has pushed the preview version of the monthly cumulative update again, and the problem of the 190MB file being unable to be cleaned has been solved. Do you think those Ah-San (deadwoods / freeloaders) are on purpose creating problems and pretending to actively solve them, robbing Peter to pay Paul for delaying work and killing time? ! ***

[austere gate]

Wish I could just get rid of Windows 😬

[pure copper]

It's trying to scare me yesterday with update to 11 as 10 will be dead next year, and was forceful in trying to make me push the update without a cancel option. Mfkrs Microsoft

[austere gate]

I've permanently disabled Windows update a long time ago.

Also, Windows 11 now has a new (Recall) feature baked in, which takes automatic screenshots whenever there’s a change on the screen 😬

[pure copper]

I recall hearing about the recall when 11 came out . Scary stuff they are doing to the world.

[austere gate]

If this trend persists, within a decade, we could all have Neuralink chips implanted in our skulls 😬

[shy glade]

Guys, it's simple. Windows sucks. I've been preaching that forever!

[robust elk]

IAsyncEnumerable. IEnumerable won't work with sync operation

[robust elk]

Alternatives are not that great also. If you consider Linux, Linux has its own problems.

[shy glade]

Bad move. You're talking to a Linux enthusiast.
Linux is better in every way. It's free, it's open-source, and many Distros are more beginner-friendly than Windows itself. The only issue with Linux nowadays is the proprietary software applications that refuse to support Linux. Although it's not Linux's problem, this is the only thing that might actually be valid in deterring anyone to switch to Linux. But we do have workarounds though, mainly Wine and other compatibility layers built on top of it. They are not perfect, but it's still not a Linux problem.

[robust elk]

I have used linux, and I know the problems. That's why I am still preferring windows for now. It is not just about proprietary drivers/softwares. Many native things to linux is also not great. Wayland is not there, last time I used it, I was unable to share my screen or do some recordings. I heard many things have been fixed, but still lacking many protocols implementation. Wine is great for nothing IMO. I am not bashing Linux, Linux has a great eco system. If only you have time to invest. 😉

[shy glade]

Nah, there is no major problem in Linux other than proprietary software programs that only run on Windows and sometimes MacOS.
Wayland does fully support screencasting/recording/sharing. It's Discord that never updated its electron version. Ironically, I mainly use Hyprland (which is a Wayland WM), and I've made many programming courses on Discord and other platforms - obviously shared my screen - and I have a YouTube channel where I post videos regularly, and of course I record my screen (using OBS Studio if that what you were referring to).
However, assuming Wayland doesn't natively support those (although it does), if you were introduced to Linux properly you'd know, Wayland is still a work in progress. It's pretty much expected to lack some features, although it's rapidly maturing. You can simply use X11. X11 gets more things right that even Windows doesn't (such as support for non-standard input devices), of course in addition to the amount of control you get with it as well compared to Windows.

[shy glade]

Also, Linux would obviously be counter-intuitive if you're coming from a Microsoft background thinking that Linux would be identical. Linux has it's philosophy that is different from Windows', the only reason people are comfortable with Windows is due to using it for a long time given its popularity (mainly because it comes preinstalled on most PC and laptops). I bet if you give anyone half the time to use Linux would get comfortable with it much faster, and further, would like it way more than Windows.
That said, many Distros as I mentioned earlier are very beginner-friendly. Some of my friends have recently switched to Linux and used those beginner-friendly Distros and never reported anything negative; rather, they immediately fell in love with them.

[forest palm]

Hello! Fellow .NET programmer here. Whether to use IEnumerable or IAsyncEnumerable for async loops depends on the specific requirements of your application.

When your collection of data is readily available in memory, or you don't need asynchronous operations to fetch or process each element you can use IEnumerable

and when you are dealing with asynchronous data sources or your application benefits from streaming data as it's retrieved, rather than waiting for the entire dataset to be loaded in memory you can use IAsyncEnumerable

[hybrid tinsel]

@pure copper Hello! I hope you're doing fine! I had a question about creating a local VPS and its visualization.... do you have any background in this regard?

Actually one question may lead to several questions haha

so I don't promise to ask just one XD

[hybrid tinsel]

if anyone else has some experience, i'd be glad to hear it

Sorry no. I haven't worked with them. I do however want to learn the basics to protect my environments from disasters.

Try starting off with something like EndeavourOS, it's easy to set up and use. Just make sure to select KDE Plasma as the desktop environment rather than Xfce. It's a bit more bloated but has way more functionalities and features, and it's incredibly customizable as well.

[final citrus]

I can't put you an image, but in Virustotal, Quttera puts it as dangerous and
ArcSight Threat Intelligence puts it as a suspicious link.

[shy glade]

[final citrus]

That's weird.

[final citrus]

I also have and use Brave.

[shy glade]

You can ignore the link if you're suspicious of its safety, but I assure you sir, I never post an unsafe link.

[final citrus]

Okay. I'm scepticist about links, but that's okay (I'm not fighting with you).

[shy glade]

Nice!
Brave and recently Zen have become my favorite browsers so far. I like how add-free Brave is.

[final citrus]

I'm comparing results.

[final citrus]

I have never used Zen.

But I also have Tor Browser (I have never gone to the Dark Web, but I know its dangers).

[shy glade]

No no! It's perfectly okay to be suspicious of any random link's safety. In fact, it's the right thing to do. 💯
I'm just reassuring you that you can trust the links I post.

[final citrus]

Okay.

You seem not to be suspicious.

Social media has a lot of dangers.

[shy glade]

It's in alpha. But I've been using it for a couple of months now, I've never experienced any issue and it seems mostly stable for an alpha version.

[final citrus]

That's great!

I love using Brave.

I think it is better than Google.

[shy glade]

Of course I would be suspicious of any random link posted online, especially by an anonymous user.

[shy glade]

Couldn't agree more! 💯

[final citrus]

I love Leo (its AI), but I must use Google because of some apps like Google Sheets. That's the unique problem of Brave.

[shy glade]

Bro, Google Sheets is just a Google product. You can still use it on Brave.

It's a web app. Can be accessed from any web browser.

[final citrus]

That's true, but I use Google with that things just for commodity.

Chrome has a button with all the Google apps.

[shy glade]

Also, Brave is chromium-based. So, you can expect anything that works on Chrome to also work seamlessly on Brave.

[final citrus]

That's also true.

If Brave had things like Brave Calc (it is an invented app name), that browser would compete strongly against Google.

[shy glade]

Perhaps you mean the company, not the browser. Browsers and web apps are not tied together or anything like that. You can pretty much access any web app in the world using any browser you like.

[final citrus]

Yeah, I mean the company.

Its name is Brave Software.

[shy glade]

Brave Inc. is dedicated to the browser's development though. Google on the other hand is a very diverse company.

[final citrus]

I'm only speaking about a theory.

Theories can fail.

I know Google is a lot more powerful.

[shy glade]

Aha, I see.
Yeah, Brave would be a good competitor in my opinion. 🤝

[final citrus]

If it had external things like Google (apart from Leo).

It's a pitty that most of the users don't know what is Brave.

[dapper zinc]

no doubt. i'm using brave too.

google is paying firefox to keep it as a default search engine.

[hybrid tinsel]

that's great.... There are a few companies that provide these VPS too, like UP cloud, Linode, VULTER .... and so on. I live in Iran, and because of sanctions, we couldn't access these co, should you have any idea how I can cross this bridge of sanctions...?

[hybrid tinsel]

Sure that's what I do!...

I wanna get other set of experience too

[pure copper]

I though you meant local, as on your own network, rather than the internet(cloud) at large.

Do VPNs help you cross the restrictions

[hybrid tinsel]

that's also one choice

[pure copper]

are there open source versions of vps

[hybrid tinsel]

yeah but what i mean is that even by using VPN i couldn't have online transactions with the United States policy sanctions

[hybrid tinsel]

not sure, if there is any, but non that i'm aware of

[pure copper]

If you are affected by sanctions, then that means a lot of other countries would restrict youalso. You need to find the alter block of nations, perhaps india, or unfortunately russia

Brazil

[hybrid tinsel]

that's a good idea though! or China they have good relationship with the country!

I'll look into it

also there is one possibility... if I have a friend or a relative in there, they can do the transactions and somehow I can work with them or simply find a way to pay them back. because it's right that with sanctions i cannot directly access those companies, but indirectly i surely can.

thanks for the response @pure copper

I'll be in touch with other questions in here

I on the other hand can learn to create VPS but with my own PC which I think with 8GB of RAM would do me 2-3

[pure copper]

You can cache to disk, so you will have more, but its slower

[pure copper]

whether its 8gb or 8kb, a virtual machine driver is a huge task ... bootstraps, low level disk and device management, memory management..

[hybrid tinsel]

Sure...

[hybrid tinsel]

what about them?

you mean it doesn't matter how string my random access memory is

[humble heron]

The biggest problem with Windows 11 is that every update brings a bunch of problems that didn't exist before, such as typing lag, black screens for streaming media,
Running memory inexplicably increased usage and other bizarre problems.

[dapper zinc]

consider using ubuntu

[pure copper]

The cost in time of writing a program the size of a virtual machine driver is huge comparted to the cost of acquiring some memory for your computer. I would easily invest the price of 8gb of memory in someone who could build such a program. for 50% of the share.

[hybrid tinsel]

Just windows 11 or windows in general?

[hybrid tinsel]

That'd be wild if that someone is found

Haha

But good idea

I take it into consideration

cyberbird.ir , then shared may be better. In this case, you probably get some nice support with your extra 5$, but if you can set up a Windows machine or Linux with some Internet service perhaps the cheaper vps is for you. Personally i don't think i got any hits on my website over the last 25 years apart from me seeing if it was still running every few years.

Hmm, you've got a point

Btw I have nothing to do with those gov.orgs!

I'm a computer science student who wants to work on these things independently!
