if you ever need to implement a vector or something you'll be writing c
at best you can just avoid ever doing anything without raii and explicit new, but you wont understand whats going on

Where i can get K&R latest ebook for free?

You're doomed.

Nothing wrong with making games. He should be learning Rust though.

Since this meme template is ironic, the author meant to say that IRL it's the other way around, which I fully support except for JS being at the top.

why should i learn C if i could call ctypes from python ?

What do you not understand?

What Linux distros do you guys use and what kind of development do you use it for?

I'm trying to make a super basic PHP help bot that looks at a string and matches a word in it with another sentence which it would get from a already made array. What would be the best approach? My array is in a file and I'm using the get method.

example: user types "need help with wifi" -> string comparison happens and wifi is matched with wifi in one of the sentences in the already made array -> returns the full sentence matched from the array.

sorry I'm bad at explaining things, im sure it's just a bunch of simple functions but i can't get my head around it. Would needle / haystack work here?

Debian for servers at work, Arch for playing with Rust at home.

>What Linux distros do you guys use
CentOS for servers, Ubuntu on my workstation.
(macOS at home)

>what kind of development do you use it for?
Mostly driver stuff in C.

Antergos, I do various shit.

This is bait.

I'm trying to write a Python project in VS2017 since I'm used to it (usually use C++), but intellisense just shits the bed constantly and gives me a half-working autocomplete at best.
Is there any better free Python IDE on wangblows?

What are some cases where the output from GCC and Clang really differ?

first time working with sockets here;
whats the best way to identify individual messages received from a socket?

Where portability matters

Allocating local arrays (within the scope of a function). GCC will allocate the array on the stack as long as its smaller than a stack frame, Clang will prefer using a dedicated section for dynamic allocations.

*prefer using a dedicated section for dynamic allocations when the array exceeds 64 bytes.

TCP or UDP?
Because TCP does not preserve any message boundaries and just acts like a byte stream. Whatever the protocol sitting on top of TCP would need to add it's own markers for the beginning and end of a message.
UDP does have message boundaries, though, and you receive the packed in one go.

Can you show an example of this?

TCP at the moment, all via luasocket.
Having problems because socket:receive(*l) receives from the stream until it hits ascii 10 or 13.
I kind of need TCP because it's exact information, but it clashes with my messagepack serializer.

void foo()
{
char buffer[1024];
// do stuff with buffer here
}

GCC will most likely place this on the stack, Clang will most likely place this in a different memory section.

Are you sure about that? That wouldn't be thread safe

there's very little to get about how they work. you should instead think about their application. a pointer to an int is pretty much useless; there is no increase in efficiency. but pointing to an object of some sort provides a lot of efficiency in your program. after you understand that, it is a general rule that you will pretty much always use pass-by-pointer on structures (or in c++ pass by ref) when calling or creating functions. there are also some other useful properties, like polymorphism, that pointers facilitate, but you will learn that later

That's how pointers work

You're right, it only does this with
char buffer[32] = "I'm a long string";

when buffer isn't written to, only read from. When buffer is written to, it is allocated on the stack.
GCC always places it on the stack, however.

Guess it's some form of optimisation.

Trust me, those are the best courses precisely because you think you don't need them so you never read up on subject on your own.

>reading about type providers
neat

Does anyone have the pic with "Most popular programming questions at job inteviews"?
I'm teaching a kid to code C & C# (it's what his school teaches) and i want to make him do some practice, but the shit i can think of is either "sum x to y and print it" or "make a linked list and invert it", my mind can't find the middleground

Check out exercism.io, it contains a lot of small challenges.

How do you keep yourself from procrastinating all the free time you have? I'm full of ideas I would like to implement but the moment I'm free to actually do something I lost my motivation and just play vidya or watch youtube.

I don't

No cheats.

So no caffeine, exercise, or anything that can improve your cognitive performance at all?

Weird thing to say

Reminder that OOP is utter shit which ruins everything it touches. OOPset OOPsies don't @ me

What do I do?

I just want to automate some stuff with my own python scripts.

@67260978
Make me.

It's actually the other way round for me - i need to find a needle in an array of haystacks. Then return the haystack that matched with the one needle. But thanks for providing that link.

OOPsies are to be thanked for their role in creating jobs. After all, why hire one competent programmer when you could hire five OOPsies instead?

So pointer is just a variable that is inputted the value of another variable address?

What exercise is good to stimulate my brain?

Yeah. The type of the pointer is the type of the variable at that address.

Pretty much any exercise will be good for your brain. The best exercise is the one you stick with and do several times a week.

so everyone is just going to ignore this

Jump rope while wearing your programmer outfit (a onesie is not a programmer outfit)

The response link is broken, do you seriously think I'm going to look that comment id manually?

meth. I'm not kidding it's fantastic

PyCharm for sure.
Jupyter Notebook too if you're into that sort of thing
those are both garbage. Qpython if you have to work on a phone

Meth wears down your brain with time though. At least at high doses.

You need to step it up to at least twice a day.

It's like wine: wine is not emulator

Is there anything else for if I just want to run scripts (written on a computer?) or simply a python shell?

Are you even a programmer?

nevermind that, it works nicely. thanks again

Thats what I get for working in a startup made from uni grads.
At least today is my last day here lol

no :(

at least you have a job

That's pretty much my job too. This is the career path that Jow Forums prepares for you: a weird blend of Linux hacking and JavaScript.
