>>54053236
fuck off, let that one die already.

>>54052958
Well...it's not a good idea to join from a date.

Just so we're clear:
We want the thread information, as well as the latest post you've indexed, and the name of the Author of that particular post.

I'm tinkering, give me a bit.

>>54053464
>Well...it's not a good idea to join from a date.
What do you mean? I don't think I was joining from a date

>We want the thread information, as well as the latest post you've indexed, and the name of the Author of that particular post.
Yes, maybe including the id of that particular post would be a good idea. Keep in mind that I only fetch user data when they create a thread in the website so some posts won't have user data while every thread owner will have user data, that's why I used so many ifnulls


On a unrelated note, do you think I should bother with "foreign keys"

>>54053236
fuck off retard

I've finished designing my system and making sure all the building blocks work, now I just have to implement the damn thing.

>>54053609
You already are using foreign keys, sort of.

To put it simply, "TId" in forum_database_users is a foreign key from forum_database_threads.

Is this a schema of your own creation?

There are some changes I could immediately make if I were administrating this database.

First an foremost, I would redo ALL of the column names to NOT use the P, U, or T prefix. That is pretty bad design and just makes life difficult.

Here's how a query could look:
SELECT
t.ThreadID,
t.Name AS ThreadName,
t.AuthorID AS Author,
u.Name AS AuthorName,
t.LastPostDateUnixFake,
COUNT(p.ID) AS PostCount,
FROM_UNIXTIME(MAX(p.DateEntered/1000)) AS LastPostIndexed
FROM
threads t
LEFT JOIN posts p ON p.ThreadID = t.ThreadID
LEFT JOIN users u ON u.UserID = p.UserID
GROUP BY
t.ThreadID,
t.Name,
t.UserID,
u.Name,
t.LastPostDateFake
ORDER BY MAX(p.DateEntered) DESC

>>54053734
Yes I made this schema from scratch

I kinda added the foreign keys just by try trial and error but I don't really know the benefits or what I could do with them, just heard it increased performance. maybe I'll remove them.

As for your suggestion I really like the prefixes because they make my life easier when I'm working on the indexer itself but I would love to hear some other suggestions you might have

>>54054468

>>54054446
This is the array which represents the switch matrix. KC_NO stands for an empty space, such as a column which doesn't extend all the way to the bottom. The 15th column, where those two arrow keys are attached would basically be sixth row since there's two switches in one column.

How do I put two keys in one column? Making a sixth row for the last arrow key is not an option.

Any tips on getting familiar with Eclipse?

I've only coded Java using notepad but I need to be familiar with Eclipse asap.

>>54054641
>I've only coded Java using notepad
Jesus christ. Why?

Using an IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ gives you lots of quality-of-life things, and the sooner you learn them, the better.

I can't remember which book I used for Java back in the day, or I'd recommend stuff. I'm sure Eclipse has decent 'Getting Started' documentation.

>>54054592
not entirely from scratch.

It's a magicforce, I wanted to replace the switches and ended up bricking parts of the PCB when trying to desolder them. I decided that it'd be easier to just handwire it and have a fully programmable keyboard (it was anyway about time that I'd learn how to use the TMK firmware) than it'd be to try to repair the PCB (which I spent an afternoon trying).

I took the casing and the gateron switches I wanted to replace the stock outemu blues with and wired them up to a teensy. Then I spent a good twelve hours configuring the firmware and subsequently fixing shit.

Do I have to find programming interesting enough to research/do it in my free time to get a job in it? I've recently started getting a CS degree and it seems like everyone else in my classes is more motivated than me.
Half the class asks questions that are beyond what the teacher has taught.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I like programming. My programming classes are the only ones I actually enjoy doing work for. At the same time, I don't feel any particular desire to write my own code unless I need to.
Should I just quit CS while I'm ahead?

Probably.

If you're not hungry to know more about particular things, ESPECIALLY in programming, you're going to be stuck in a single-class code monkey position.

The pajeet is too strong

I'm building a GCC cross compiler, is it possible to specify the target triplet to produce a flat 16 or 32 bit binary? if not, is writing an ELF loader in a second stage bootloader a good idea? or too much work?
I absolutely will not use GRUB.

>>54056727
>I'm building a GCC cross compiler
you're fucked m8.

>>54056727

The problem with building flat binaries is that you don't really have clear distinction between data and code segments. To my knowledge, no currently supported GCC target triplet supports flat binary formats, so if you really wanted to make your own binary format for everything, you'd have to port GCC to your system.

Also, it is perfectly acceptable to make your own ELF loader in your bootloader. You could also make a PE loader if you'd prefer to use that instead. Although if you plan on using PE, you're pretty much limited to x86 and... well, ARM support for PE files is pretty shitty, and PE on any other architecture is dead (even if Win NT supported MIPS or PowerPC at one point). So yeah, just make your own ELF loader. It's not THAT complicated of a format.

>>54057012
Alright, thanks. I'll write an ELF loader.
Btw, do I need to have two cross compilers, one for 32bit protected mode and another for long mode? or can x86_64-elf produce 32bit protected mode code using -m32?
Should I be building an x86_64 cross compiler instead of i686 regardless if I'm using long mode? I do plan on going into long mode at some point in time however.

do
{

{
int deposit;
cout << "Enter the amount you'd like you to deposit: ";
cin >> deposit;
acc0.deposit(deposit);
}
else if (menuchoice = 2)
{
int withdraw;
cout << "enter the amount you'd like to withdraw: ";
cin >> withdraw;
acc0.withdraw(withdraw);
}

C++ bros, i need help again.

Is there a color/class container that can store rgb values kind of like

CONTAINER rgb;
rgb.red = GetRValue(color);
rgb.green = GetGValue(color);
rgb.blue = GetBValue(color);

I was using int variables but its not efficient.

I'm no regex wizard, but what about

>>54058592
It works.

My converter is in C#. Now I have to learn how to do the work using backgroundWorker, in order to get a progressbar and to prevent UI from freezing.

>>54055743
It's a better C#

I just changed the mouse behavior in browser #112 so it doesn't instantly switch to a different thread when the tile's thread changes and the mouse moves. I used to think that was a desirable feature, but it's annoying when accidentally bumping the mouse and losing the thread I'm reading.

this image gives a hint at what I mean. this thread moved to a different tile while I was reading it. now when I bump the mouse I stay in the same thread. and all is right in the world.

/end blog post

>>54059005
what happens if the web devs change something, will the browser break?

>>54058757
make one? tf
and it would be more pythonic do do 'color.getRValue()' etc

>>54059056
it's a possibility. #110 had trouble after the last major site change (apr/may 2014?).

#111 fixed things, but was unreleased.

and now #112 is nearing release. I anticipate much whining when people see it's just the exe and not the code.

>>54059005
well shit. spoke too soon.
changing that behavior introduced a new (old, and annoying) problem where the mouse enters the grid and displays the wrong thread. had to revert.

So lets say you're using curl on a page.

3/5ths of the time it returns a link
1/5th of the time it returns a link to the link you want
1/5th it returns a page that just says please wait... and then redirects to a page that has the link when in browser

When you use curl and it happens to be that 1/5th what can be done so it redirects to the second page to get the link

>>54059238

Just in case you had forgotten:

>>54059318
>>54059355
Fuck, I meant syntax highlighting mode. Like set to use C++/Python/CSS style highlighting for a file type it might not be familiar with.

>>54059330
It means, Rephrase the question.
But I don't use CURL so I doubt I can help.

>>54059378
So you curl a page

1/3rd of the time it returns a "Please wait..." page
This page, on a normal browser would redirect to a second page that has the link that I am trying to get

however, due to this being curl it only downloads the page with the "Please wait..." and has no information which would allow me to get to the second page that has the link that I need.

How can I get a workaround with this

>>54059370
You want Visual Studio (the IDE?) to do syntax highlighting for foreign file types? What's the point? I haven't used it in years.

>>54059418
Visual Studio Code
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Studio_Code
It's free software and cross platform. I have no idea why it has "Visual Studio" in the name though.

>>54059405
sounds like a "recursive" thing.
I know how to code for it, but don't know curl.

So I'm putting some of the finishing touches on my C++ backend and looking to begin development of the frontend. The frontend will get data through a tcp/ip connection with the backend, data will be serialized with ProtoBuf. the GUI on the frontend will be pretty simplisitc, think tables and graphs, mainly trying to display data in a neat manner with few added frills needed.

What language does friday night /dpt/ recommend I use? choices are C++, C#, GO and Python. what GUI library does /dpt/ recommend with that? I only have minimal experience with C#/VS GUI development.

sure, but its easier for software (dosbox in this instance) to record the screen context and put it in an AVI for outside programs to consume.

getting mp4 or mkv or what have you working would require far more time/resources than
stuff this in an AVI container, with no sound:

I have to do it guys. I'm going to learn Java.

I'm taking the mandatory course in it over this summer and I want to go in knowing it already.

I want that easy Google Play Store money too, so I'm probably going to make some shitty game at some point.

>>54060903
Something I've found works well for getting the feel of a new language is to take code from a language you already know and translate it into the new language. Once you do a basic translation go back and optimize it for that current language.

>>54060910

Interdasting. Since you use it, any sample code?

I'm reading the C# Players Guide and just got to the section on reference and value types. I understand the difference between the two but when I got to the 'Test Yourself" section I incorrectly thought that value types live on the stack and not the heap. In what situations are value types stored on the heap?

>>54061083
swift

not that it matters since obj-c is easy anyway and you can pickup both

>>54061207
What, like "Hello, world?"

>>54060629
pls

>>54061359

I mean real things that you've actually used it for.

>>54061305
value types are stored on the stack. what was the example you got wrong?

>>54061391
It would be a wall of text.

Just imagine a mixture C/C++/BASIC, along with winapi calls, but WITHOUT the annoying braces {
and the semi-colons;
}

To me, PowerBASIC is like taking C/C++ and making it easier to understand and nicer to look at. The ALL CAPS default for the language's keywords took some getting use to, but I don't mind it now.

>>54061456
He was asking for a wall of text you twit.

I'm interested in c# gui's for sql

can you suggest me any books or tutorials about oledb or anything db related?

>>54061430

That's what I thought. It was a series of true/false questions. This was the specific question:

The contents of a value type can be placed in the heap.

Answer:
True

>>54061305
value types can be either in the stack or heap depending on how you do them

reference is always on the heap

a value type member of a class is on the heap for example

>>54061391
OK, say you have a bunch of text (a string; a file; a webpage; whatever).
This pulls out some text based on its surroundings:
FUNCTION IsolateText (BYREF sourceText AS WSTRING, BYREF startText AS WSTRING, BYREF endText AS WSTRING, OPTIONAL BYREF initialPos AS LONG) AS WSTRING
LOCAL startPos, endPos AS LONG

startPos = IIF(ISMISSING(initialPos), 1, initialPos)
startPos = INSTR(startPos, sourceText, startText)
IF startPos = 0 THEN
IF ISFALSE(ISMISSING(initialPos)) THEN initialPos = 0 'return 0 if not found
EXIT FUNCTION
END IF
startPos += LEN(startText)
IF ISFALSE(ISMISSING(initialPos)) THEN initialPos = startPos
endPos = INSTR(startPos, sourceText, endText)
FUNCTION = MID$(sourceText, startPos TO endPos - 1)

END FUNCTION

It's called like this:
tempStr = IsolateText(hugeStr, "starting text", "ending text")

anyone got any reccomendations?

I'm currently finishing up java, and was thinking about going into python specifically for game development, but i also wouldn't mind learing about some advanced stuff in other languages like c# or visual basic.

Also, while we're on the subject, did you actually pay $200 for the compiler, or did you pirate it?

>>54061705

So instead of brackets you just have giant ugly END FUNCTION and END IF lines. Python does important white space right, that's still ugly as hell.

>>54061742
>caps
The IDE allows for changing the case.
And vars don't have to be specified at all (if you wanna keep it simple). Or, it let's you make macros which makes the powerbasic language look like another language.

>>54061776
I acquired it in the usual way.

>>54061777
I don't see how a discreet bracket is better than "end function"

Either way, it's going to take up a line, right?

Brackets can appear many times within a function, but only END FUNCTION can appear at the ends of functions in powerbasic. Seems easier to read to me.

>>54061940
What I mean is, as I'm looking down the code, do I think "oh, there's a bracket. I'm at the end of the function! No wait, that's just the end of the if or select block, nevermind.

In any case, no matter the language, indention is important. That's the key to readable code.

>>54061940

I'm a Python developer. I don't like brackets or END FUNCTION lines. It's all ugly and unnecessary to me. It's a bunch of stuff that adds unnecessary lines and unnecessary effort to sift through.

An OO language with important white space and static typing is the best of the best if you ask me.

Hey guys, just started my foray into Java, copying an ancient Conway's game of life I had done in C. Part of the program takes a text file like so:

....0...00.000.00.....
...0..0.00.0..........
.....00...0..........0
...000............00.0
.00.....00000.......00
.....00.......0000...0


From this, I create a 2D array of Booleans. The way I did it back then was retarded but it worked: I read through the file to get a width and height, then read essentially read through it again, entering the data into the 2D array that was made.
For some reason, I'm getting a crash when trying to print the array. It happens when trying to print the second row, the first prints fine. In my test file, I have a 50x150 grid.

while ((c = input.read()) != -1) {
if (c == '0') {
alive++;
}
if (c == '\n') {
height++;
widthFound = true;
} else if (!widthFound){
width++;
}
characterGrid[i++] = c;
}
input.close();
characterGrid[i] = 0; // sentinel
grid = new Boolean[height][width];

//...

for (int i = 0; i < height; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < width; j++) {
System.out.println("i: " + i + ", j: " + j);
if (grid[i][j]) { // Crashes here on i = 1, j = 25, giving null pointer exception ********
System.out.printf("█");
} else {
System.out.printf(" ");
}
}
System.out.printf("\n");
}

Any ideas? Thanks.
