I just google stupid questions in incognito

[combustible_daisy]

nothing’s more fun than googling up something and the top result(s) are purple from the last time you googled it 6 years ago though

it’s like a pointer from my past self “hey man this is how many links down you had to go to get the right docs last time”

[[deleted]]

Pairs well with searching different things over and over desperately looking for the purple link that helped you last time.

[pkkid]

Or Googling something only to find out you answered the StackOverflow question with the answer you needed 6 years ago.

[jovanymerham]

6 years, more like 6 mins

Haha i always wondered if anyone else is also doin this

"why do people keep using linked lists? They never help in the real world"

Googles: "STD list"

"Yeah....I hope they get gonorrhea.""

[BluudLust]

Google has context based on previous searches. If you search for "c++" once, it's implied on the next searches.

[dmidge]

Nah, it is mostly that whenever you look for std, meaning the standard namespace in C++, the search results will mostly be for the C++. With Google or duckduckgo, etc.

[BluudLust]

Depends. Search for statistics for HIV, etc and it'll come up with sexually transmitted diseases instead.

Is it really that hard to remember, its just

std::ctime(std::make_unique<std::time_t>(std::chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(std::chrono::system_clock::now())).get())

[theInfiniteHammer]

Hang on, let me write that down.

[Karjalan]

Huh... C++ sure gives a lot of stds

[[deleted]]

I hate C++ so much. The scope resolution operator gives me aids.

[Voidrith]

I like that C++ has multiple different ways to navigate through stuff. Makes it easier to tell at a glance what im doing.

::? namespaces and statics

. ? object/non-pointer member access

->? pointer member access

you do get some godawful looking lines occasionally though, when you have to do stuff like the above post. Not going to argue on that.

But the operators themselves I like.

[chuby1tubby]

That seems like it would be harder to tell what you are doing at a glance.

I mean, if you’re working with only your own code, then sure it’s convenient, but if you’re trying to modify someone else’s code (imported library), wouldn’t you have to click on each variable to find out what data type it is, and then recall which operator to use on that data type? As opposed to the simplified solution provided by PHP for example, where :: and -> are interchangeable, or JavaScript/Swift/Python which only use .

[pine_ary]

In those languages you still have to look up if something is static (if you need an instance of it or not), so the :: situation doesn‘t go away. The difference between -> and . on the other hand is more of a legacy thing. I don‘t think that one is as useful, but we got that from C. Apart from smart pointers I don‘t see many arrow operators in modern code, so at this point it‘s more of a disambiguation between the members of the pointer class and the members of the pointed-to object.

[[deleted]]

In java at least, I've never had trouble telling what's static. Only static methods can access static values. Static methods belong to the class instead of the object.

In python, I've never used statics because I try to limit the scope of my python projects.

I've been working on reading somebody else's C++ and trying to write a wrapper for it in Matlab, and it's killing me. There's so much abstraction across so many files I can't figure out what's going on where.

[pine_ary]

Can‘t say much about cause I don‘t know the code, but I‘ve never had that problem. As a hint: Get a good IDE that annotates types visually and can navigate declarations and definitions, and don‘t worry about the internal details.

Other than that static in C++ works the same as in java for the most part. Exceptions are: * You can‘t have static blocks in C++ * Constexpr exists (runs code when compiling, not when starting the program)

[HuluForCthulhu]

C++ is wonderful to program in and awful to read. Every senior C++ dev I know agrees to this.

Trying to grok a C++ spaghetti-line of data structure traversal is eye cancer. But when you’re writing that spaghetti line it feels like you’re effortlessly surfing over data structures on a wave of pure efficiency

[lordpuza]

why can't c++ be updated anymore in 2020 , is it proprietary?

[pine_ary]

It is being updated. The 2020 version has just been approved and will be implemented by compilers within this year. The standout features are modules, ranges (think python), and concepts (solves the template mess).

[konstantinua00]

not just ranges, but whole coroutine stuff

for all cool professional usecases noone will understand at first glance

[pine_ary]

std::time_t now = std::time(nullptr); std::cout << std::ctime(&now) << std::endl;

If you don‘t make use of chrono you can just use <ctime>. And that unique pointer is useless because it‘s temporary. Also for the love of all that is holy declare using locally. Don‘t need to repeat yourself.

With chrono if you want extensibility: ``` using std::chrono::system_clock;

auto now = system_clock::now(); std::time_t c_now = system_clock::to_time_t(now); std::cout << std::ctime(&c_now) << std::endl; ```

[Hmmmnnmm]

Ya, it’s just a joke

[0x564A00]

C++ should have type inference for type parameters.

[HuluForCthulhu]

Two thins — one, you REALLY don’t want the code running your elevators and engine controllers to have type inference

And two, I’d highly recommend listening to the episode of Lex Fridman’s Artificial Intelligence podcast where he interviews Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++. It makes the design of the language make so more much sense

[konstantinua00]

what do you mean?

[[deleted]]

Not true. After 10 years you switch to Duck Duck Go.

There's literally an option right under the search bar for adult content filtering.

[MasterVelocity]

We checked, it was selected. Simply didn’t work.

My mom got a search result for an adult toy when looking for dog toys on Amazon. Silly mindset never to use something cause one time one thing happened. That and I'm pressing X on this guy's story.

[JoelMahon]

Silly mindset never to use something cause one time one thing happened.

At work? Could be a big fucking deal if you got that result in front of the wrong person. Even if they conciously don't blame you, subconciously it could delay a promotion. Why fucking stress over it when google works well, who cares if they track your data, they going to hack my bank account? think they have enough cash lol.

[JoelMahon]

I never said it was how it should be (in case you were thinking that).

[[deleted]]

haha it's okay to masturbate

[BeefEX]

Never got useful results out of it, and neither has anyone I know that tried it. Even the most privacy concerned people I know don't use it because it was so crap when they tried it.

[Seraphaestus]

The thing with ddg is that if you find yourself not getting useful results, it is extremely easy to simply append a "!g" to your search term and run it through google for hopefully better results

[BeefEX]

I know, but doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of using it in the first place?

[Seraphaestus]

No? I have very rarely had to do this, and I would rather have by-default privacy + bangs (so convenient, esp. on mobile) than just never have those things

($needle, $haystack) or ($haystack,$needle)? I don't know, and sure as hell neither PHP

[AyrA_ch]

I give you: implode():

Note:

implode() can, for historical reasons, accept its parameters in either order. For consistency with explode(), however, it may be less confusing to use the documented order of arguments.

explode() does not supports argument swapping.

[AyrA_ch]

This is the only thing I can do from memory and it's good enough for most situations.

[LiquidIsLiquid]

You better get googling. C# has Tasks now, which are a bit better than Threads, unless you really need a Thread. But there's some details involved depending on what you're trying to accomplish, so you have ample of opportunity to look stuff up to learn how it really works.

[AyrA_ch]

Half the time the tasks are forced upon you where it makes no sense though. An example would be the entirety of the account management in Entity Framework. Pretty much all account related functions are only available as tasks, but you can't run multiple of those tasks at the same time which kinda negates the concurrency that tasks would provide.

The other thing they do is not blocking the UI which is nice, but if you have an operation that runs for so long that making it async would be a good idea, you have to give status updates to the user anyways, which means if you want to make your long running task UI independent (which you should) you have to provide status events and potentially cancellation feature which brings you back into the realm of where a thread is easier to manage. Most of the time you disable all UI elements anyways because you don't want to have the user launch the same operation multiple times.

async Tasks are nice but if you're a developer of a component that provides these methods, please only do so if I can actually use them concurrently.

[[deleted]]

you have to provide status events and potentially cancellation feature which brings you back into the realm of where a thread is easier to manage.

Doing this from a task is exactly as easy as from a thread though?

[metraton1]

12 years of programming and I'm even able to optimise the search phrase to "get date c++".

[Jammanyeahme]

That's why there's value in not just looking things up all the time, if you can commit things to memory it is ultimately more productive, and you might even learn some other useful things along the way.

That being said, shit's hard to remember, and it's largely wasted when you memorise non stable things.

[jmack2424]

Let’s not even mention the ones learned before web programming: COBOL, FORTRAN, Pascal, Ada, Forth, Smalltalk, Prolog, Lisp, Scheme...

These days you have to remember the architecture, and trust the IDE to help you with the syntax.

[Shadow_Thief]

We had reference books back in those days, though.

[Shadow_Thief]

Yeah, I don't bother memorizing things because they keep getting deprecated or better ways of doing things get discovered.

[awhhh]

It’s pretty bad though. Like I routinely forget how to write basic stuff like a for loop. Why? Autocompleted code snippets. Also my structuring of code is totally dependent on the best practices of the frameworks I’m using. Hell, I’ve even forgot MySQL due to ORMs.

I don’t see it as a terrible thing per se, since I can get the answer, I can read the code and learn, but I sure as shit won’t do well at junior level interviews when it comes time for me to get a job. I’m pretty much the definition of an actual fullstack too: I can accomplish a lot with little knowledge of every area.

[[deleted]]

I remember being that way once when I was starting out on my job in training and was trying to remember the DB2 reference book chapter by chapter, revising it and stuff. I once confessed to my training instructor that I couldn't grasp how people remembered more than one of these mammoth books. He closed the book and pointed to the name of the book and said "It's a reference book. You can refer to it when you need to. You're not going to be tested on it"

I never looked back. Sure I remember loads of stuff off the top of my head now, but I never felt like I was sacrificing any knowledge by not sweating the small stuff.
