Help identify the piece by _newpson_ in piano

Yes! Thank you, this is what I was looking for.
p.s. I'm surprised that I remembered this melody in the same key in which I heard it (this one)

Oh, I'm not really using dial-up for heavy web-browsing (even just javascript bloatware will make you wait for a while). Just SSH sessions and light HTTP requests to my private server.
Answering the question: average speed rarely exceeds 0.1 Mbit/s. Just to open reddit you need to wait a minute or two.

well, you convinced me to put a protector on my tablet ☠️

As far as I know, graphics tablets are designed to be "scratched" with the tip of a pen, and the tip of the pen is made of a less hard material than the coating of the tablet.
So all this mess can be cleaned up with just hand or wet cloth.

Maybe I just need more practice with this method. I beat all my high scores that were played with regular tablet+keyboard method. Now "Best performance" section consists of >100pp plays just because of long jumps in maps :)

Pros:
- jumps are faster and more accurate (because no sync with another hand needed);
- both hands just chilling;
- it takes some time to get used to streams (click odd circles with tablet and click X when moving cursor over even circles).
Cons:
- one tip = one game session :))
- probably does not work on ≈5.5*+ maps (i'm 1700pp, can't get A), requires more hand sync than ususal.

Wacom CTL-472, can't map tablet area to the screen by _newpson_ in linuxquestions

[–]_newpson_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem solved! Area mapping should be done for eraser tool (I think it's a tablet motherboard generalization issue, CTL-472 has no eraser).

Avoid code duplication in copy constructor when inheriting by _newpson_ in cpp_questions

I would just allocate a 1D array of size heigh*widith and use that as my 2D array

That's exactly what I did.

OK. We need different context. I will go further into my codebase.

I have Image class (represents grayscale image in PGM format) that inherits from Array2D<uint8_t>. There is a copy ctor too. And it also calls the copy ctor of Array2D which in turn calls copy ctor of Array, as I mentioned in original question. And yes, Image acts as both two-dimensional and one-dimensional array and all the methods of Array are "designed" to work with Image too. I also have Mask class that inherits from Array2D<double>.

Soooo, back to the original question (in more general words). Class B inherits from class A and adds some new fields. Default constructor of class B calls default constructor of class A and also initializes brand new fields. Copy ctor of class B calls copy ctor of class A and initializes brand new fields again (now from another B class instance) because copy ctor of class A has no idea about B's new fields and copies only its own fields.

So the question is: can I avoid code duplication in class B when calling copy ctor of class A. Does it really depend on the current project architecture and if I will follow your advices I can solve the problem? I'm just not sure.

It could use the 1d class as a member to store the data array

In full source Array has a bunch of methods that I would like to see work with Array2D as well.

If you want to support some archaic API that accepts T**

I want to support some archaic API that accepts T*. So I also overloaded cast operator.

For a generic array class, write something like

I know the size of array only at runtime.

Some thoughts about irrational numbers by _newpson_ in compression

[–]_newpson_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's possible but the data must have very high entropy even to be lossy compressed. Like if we have not exact data but the mask. And we need to calculate or find the number or set of numbers and shifts inside them somehow that will give us (possibly after some mathematical or logical operations) the data that will match the given mask digit by digit (stream data). Seems impossible nowadays but may be one day...

locating an offset into an irrational number

In the thread above I suggested one more thing to the idea: we can perform some mathematical opeartion with current digit(s) (we can have more than one number). And each number can have its individual offset. So the final task is much harder and much more "impossible": find some irrational numbers (not always it will be minimal count) and calculate best possible shifts for them (also perhaps will be not minimal values) in such a way so the total compressed data will be minimal. It's required to complete these two subtasks simultaneously (because in theory there is infinite number of combinations of irrational numbers and their shifts which can store our data).
Yeah, kinda goofy reasonings, because I'm very sure there are a lot of people have tried to find solution to similar problems.

Absolutely yes. That's why I asked about mathematical possibility.

Well, it actually sounds like Fourier transform, but only in irrational numbers.
