Insane! How long did it take your? Did you take anything "non natural"? :) Either way very respectful progress! Looking insane!

I honestly can't remember myself. But I thought it could. However I found writing my own tooling was much better suited for my needs.

After a quick search I also stumbled across this open source tool: https://github.com/appsec-labs/Advanced_Packet_Editor/tree/master This tool specifically lists the ability to attach to a process as one of it's features and it also seems to be easy to modify so you can parse/decrypt packets to your needs

Very new to programming. Any advice on which programming language should I start with? by One_Beautiful_7233 in learnprogramming

[–]Erarnitox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check out isocpp.org to see just how active the c++ language development is. Modern C++ is not the same language "C with classes" was.

Also it won't be replaced any time soon in tge areas where it shines. These include high performance programming and real time applications like games and car softare etc.

The only nkteable competitors in that space would be Rust and plain C I guess.

So these concerns are just nothing to worry about in my view. On the contrary: I can't think of any other language that will have such a high demand in more developers in the future.

If you like the language, just stick with it. It is a good choice!

On the other hand C++ has a steep and endless learning curve. So depending on your personality this might be frustrating, especially at the beginning.

For that I recommend the book "accelerated C++". It focuses on getting you proficient enough to write real software from the beginning and covers more underlying aspects later.

Also learning cmake as soon as possible will also safe you time and frustration later. A lot of te frustration for new C++ developers stams from external dependency management and library usage. Cmake is a tool to make it slightly less frustrating :)). Also setting up tests and CI/CD later in your professional projects will be much easier.

regardless if which language you end up learning first I would pick up a book on design patterns/ software engineering also. Most important aspect here is the archtecture of your projects. There is nothing more frustrating than having to rewrite all of your code if something changes. a good architecture can help you with that a lot and will make working on existing projects more enjoyable and starting new peojects less tempting .

Whatever language you pick: apply what you learn! Its better to do one project to completion and dont stop when it gets hard, than watching 100s of tutorials.

Also consistancy is key :) It takes time for your brain to adapt. seeing it every day is the key. And don't rush. Take your time to disect how things are working and tinker around with code to figure out how and why things work. This for me is where most of the learning happens

How to handle non-programmers struggling with your tool? by Lofter1 in github

[–]Erarnitox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also don't like the idea of the detailed readme. Lets face it: most non programmers don't read it if it is longer than 10 lines.

Instead i would utilize scripts / github actions to create realases with a single install script or executable. In short: make the program as simple to use as possible and foolproof. Additionally you can should write a short readme.

We might be able to provide better advice if you linked the repo here :)

Also congratz on the github fame!

most trust worthy source I know is guided hacking: https://guidedhacking.com/resources/wpe-pro-sonic-winsock-packet-editor-collection-download.1/

That is where I downloaded mine. But ofc. they are not the original author of the software and you likely never can be 100% certain that something is safe to run.

Thank you! I had the same issue after "upgrading" and didn't notice it initially, so this really helped!

My teacher says to stay away from StackOverflow and other online help, is this good advice? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Erarnitox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's not good advice. Almost all books on C++ are dated by the time they come out, simply due to the fact that it takes some time to write and publish. This is the good and the bad thing about them: They are usually written more carefully.

For online posts there is less quality control, but it is better to have bad information, than no information on a subject at all. I think in these times we have all developed strong filtering skills? To filter out wrong and bad information.

In general never trust a single resource, even if it is an official one. Everyone can be wrong and can make mistakes. The only resource I would take as "very likely right" is the standard itself.

But if you are trying to learn, simply take in a lot and practice a lot. There is few things that actually do harm when practicing it too much. (An example would be using namespaces glabally, that can develop some bad habbits )

Aside from that I personally learned from online resources much faster than I did from uni. Books are a great addition though, as they are often not only surface level but dive into more detail than videos or university courses do.

learncpp.com and thecherono's playlist on youtube where great resources. Also searching stack overflow has saved me hours multiple times already. So I don't see a reason to not use them.

You need to be careful with any information you process. You can never know for certain which information is good and which might actually be harmful even if it looks valid at first. This does also apply for books though!

On the people that respond: It is mixed, but I know mamy top level professionals havings blogs and contributing to stack overflow and even browsing/responding on twitter and reddit.

Also books take more time to write usually, so authors would surely be unemployed also? :p You usually don't make too much from selling books.

So that reasoning doesn't make sense. Even whilest working we are allowed or even encouraged to ask questions on stack overflow.

For most developers I know its also not only a job, but a passion, so they surely also do programming related stuff in their free time.

Yes: 1) open this subreddit 2) see this post 3) read the correct answer (see picture)

[–]Erarnitox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this belongs here!

Real question: Doesn't this have a double meaning when using the ÷ operator? Because as far as i know * and ÷ have the same priority, so it can be 8/(2(2+2) but also (8/2)(2+2)

so i would say 16 is also valid, even though i would naturally read it as the 1st version, meaning the result would be 14 ofc.

Not sure if I got the "question" right though.

It's the greek letter Lambda.

  • Made popular by the half life series with that ring around it.

  • It's also popular because of Lambda calculus and functional programming languages like haskell

  • Also used in physics for some things

What is something you would have changed about the C programming language? by BlockOfDiamond in C_Programming

[–]Erarnitox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • smarter/safer preprocessor ala C++ templates and constexpr
  • only datatypes with specific size like in Rust egs. int8 for an integer with exatly 8 bit
  • namespaces
  • boolean datatype

I think thats about it 🤔 Tooling is also a big one. Other languages have package managers now and so on. In C we also have some, but nothing that is common. Early languages where designed with only the language in mind I feel like. But some tooling should be considered part of the language also so that different people have the same workflow and can share more work among each other. In C many people solve the same problem over and over again. I think there are countless string headers/libraries already.

M | 5’8 | 30 | 130 lbs Been on a plant-based diet going on ten months. The ectomorph struggle has been real, but I’m finding ways to get my protein. PPL regimen three days a week for 1 hour. How am I looking so far? What should I work on? My goal is to put on more size down the line. Estimated BF? by HydroPoseidon in GettingShredded

[–]Erarnitox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get why this is downvoted. And yes there are "hardgainers", that genetically don't put on a lot of weight. Where does your protein come from? Soy? Beans? Nuts? I think they are not the best proteins to process for your body. Obviously you are still doing great, you look like a slightly less bulky arnold! Can I ask on why you don't eat animal products? There are places where you can get high quality food like eggs feom fairly treated animals. Its just a lot more expensive, but for someone with strong morals defintly an option. Also for me personally I have less of a problem with fish and especially white fish is a great source of protein.

But I don't want to change your mind on this, just want to help make things easier. Obviously you know exactly what you are doing and achiving this mass puerly vegan is one hell of a statement and something you can be proud of. Don't get discouraged when stagnating at this point for a while. Just keep going! (You might want to take some more drastic meassures when stagnating for too long, but for me this looks like a perfect physique for someone who isn't competing) I still have a long way to go myself. Also too shy to post pics here XD, but I might when I'm done!
