EPTThe Big Programming Thread - Page 451

Thread Rules 1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution. 2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20) 3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible. 4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks. | ||

Also some companies are in a position where git isn't really physically possible to use because it doesn't work on giant repositories of doom. E.g. Facebook, they have quite a few really good public posts about the problems they ran into with git at scale, and their resulting solutions later using different version control systems. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/189776 https://code.facebook.com/posts/218678814984400/scaling-mercurial-at-facebook/ | ||

I wanted to add a big collection of data to a series in the X value, then let the chart control have 20 colums that represent in the y axis the probability of something being in its interval. I didnt find anything, so i did it manually and only fed the chart control the final 20 columns, but i would prefer it the chart control could do it itself so i can run its statisics thingies on it. | ||

I'm thinking about making a simple C++ visual novel game (maybe I will just use C# idk). + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://www.basugasubakuhatsu.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/ever17.jpg) I'm looking at classes to use. So far I have this
I'm a bit unsure about where I should put dialogueBox tho. A scene will be created with 1 or 2 characters and a background image. We will give our character a position on the screen, left or right. We will print their dialogue and it will go in a dialogue box (or image) which will share the position of the character. we can say print character.dialogueBox.dialogueID . We need to make sure dialogueBox is using character's position tho. I'm guessing we set character position when we set the Scene, then in printDialogue function we specify where to place dialogueBox in this function based on character's Position so we kinda have this sort of thing:

 the difference is that they use some engine so you don't have 100s of lines of print(dialogueID) ... | ||

It's giving me a message that "Another site is using the same HTTPS binding with a different certificate". Do I need to open another port on the server? We don't really have an IT guy here so I'm a programmer learning this shit on the fly -.- You need a seperate IP address for each domain that has a SSL certificate, and listen only to that IP in the vhost. Unless you use SNI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication) which doesn't work on (most notably) Windows XP. | ||

I'm starting to get time restricted now since its the last 3 months of college and I have an out-of-college assignment too, so I'm leaning towards doing something easier rather than harder | ||

You can always use a VM like Vmware and install one or more distros of linux (using a yum/apt distro and different DEs if you want to go really deep but 1 should get u the basic, either debian or fedora imo). I've picked up linux as I was needing things so I can't really say whats the most important or first thing to learn. Basic bash commands perhaps? Understanding how the files are organized is somewhat important, permissions (read write execute for owner, group and others). Learning to configure builds and compile stuff is really important too, since not everything is available in binaries. | ||

It was pipelining stuff around and filtering/formating it, defining your own commands, knowing how to set masks for rights etcetc. It was really useless, there is like no reason for me to hack around in a unix console. And if there is, i look it up and not learn it all in case i might need it. I dont know why they would test people for that in an interview. | ||

Well, I'm interviewing at a place where much of my internship would be OS stuff, especially with different versions of Linux, so I kind of get it =P thanks for the tips though guys | ||

As others have said, you should try to install a distro. One popular suggestion usually is Ubuntu, but I was never fan of it. I'm more of a Debian/Gentoo guy, but the latter isn't recommended if you are not aware of Linux. Edit: Another way is to boot Linux in live mode. Either from a CD or USB. The last small distro I've tried was Slax: http://www.slax.org/ The advantage is you do not save it on your hard disk. | ||
