    How can I use this to create art IRL?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 12:57 PM PST

    First off, I don't know anything about programming and would love all help I can possibly get!!

    I think this is a totally AWESOME concept and want to make my own IRL: http://artof01.com/vrellis/works/knit.html

    This is based on an open source algorithm (GitHub): https://github.com/theveloped/ThreadTone

    How can I create and interpret data (based on an image run through the algorithm) to create a piece like this on my own? I guess the algorithm would have to spit out a "step-by-step" solution for which of the 200 nails the thread should go around each step.

    Greatly appreciate all help I can get! Thanks!

    Best way to make this?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 03:06 PM PST

    Hi!

    I'd like to be able to make a checklist of food items I'm giving away, link friends/family to it, and have them be able to use their phones to tick check boxes on the items they want. Then I'd like to be able to somehow see what each person wants.

    Can anyone recommend a website or something? Thank you!

    Hi, I have a CSV file that contains 100 URLs. What I want to do is Write a PHP program to load websites one by one and get there character count to another csv. Is there any way I can do that? I know some programming. But this is my first project based approach :)

    Can I merge Whatsapp databases?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 05:13 PM PST

    I want to merge the database from an old phone with my current db, both on the same account. The methods I found by googling don't work because either it's for windows (I'm on Mac) or because I need access to the app itself on my old phone, which I can't do because it needs a SIM, and the card is now microsim and won't fit the slot in my old phone. Would love to know if a merge is still possible!

    What would be an abstract class that relates a soldier, a runner, and a snack?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 04:13 PM PST

    I'm having trouble understanding abstract classes in java, and how these would relate into making an abstract class with them.

    Tectonic plate simulator

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 04:01 PM PST

    I've been wanting to attempt to simulate plate tectonics in a program for awhile. It would be to see if I could get that to realistically simulate terrain. I've got the ideas did for most of how I would do it but I feel like I'm missing an efficient way for dividing up the plates and moving them

    My current plan involves a 2d grid, but I need to know how I should decide on the plates themselves. Some issues I've considered:

    • I thought of doing a type of filling algorithm, but for that to work they would need to fill at the same time from randomly distributed starting points. I think filling like that would be difficult but I think it's feasible. There may be a better way than what I've thought of doing though.

    • How to define the shape itself is one thing I've worried about. Do I just make each tile aware of what plate it belongs to? Do I try to create vertices for an irregular polygon? Vertices makes more sense for translating and detecting collisions as far as I'm aware, but determining the vertices could be a pain.

    • How should I go about detecting collisions, divergences, and grinding fault lines. An approach with each tile knowing it's plate could with better for this, but with the difficulty for translating and potentially rotating that could make it not worth it

    I'm thinking of using C++ to write it, I want to start in the next day or so. I've done some graphics programming in C++ before which is why I'm leaning that direction. I'm curious to see if anyone knows better methods for this, any help is appreciated

    Recursive Problems

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 11:52 AM PST

    Hello! I need to come up with a problem involving recursion for practice and I'm having some trouble coming up with examples. I've already gone through a method that finds Fibonacci numbers, and a program that does factorials. I'd love help coming up with more problems I could work through with pure tail recursion. Thanks in advanced for any ideas!

    Deciding between Javascript and PHP

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 03:09 PM PST

    I posted this before but I can no longer find my post for some reason. Anyways, I am working on an open source project that would be an alternative to ZenDesk and User.

    I am looking between two languages, PHP and Javascript (specifically Node.JS).

    The areas of concern are:

    -Performance, (obviously this would vary somewhat depending on the particular usage) -Upgradability (which language is least likely to send the wheels flying off with an upgrade to the platform)

    The aspects of the project would be: -Knowledgebase -Live Chat -Support Tickets -CRM

    I would appreciate people's opinions on this.

    I need to build a desktop application - what tech should I use in 2017?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 06:30 AM PST

    Just a bit of background: I'm working on a new hardware/software project. The hardware will talk to a desktop PC running Windows via USB CDC/serial interface. I have about 25 years' experience with C/C++/Win32/MFC/ATL/.Net etc. However the world is changing. Currently the entire market I am in is windows focused, but this may not be the case in the future after surveying clients and I intend to live off this for a good 20 years if I can make it hang on that long.

    Ergo, what should I build my business on that will be around and still supported in 20 years on the main platforms of choice? (Windows, Linux, macOS). I know my way around all three operating systems very well.

    Options I've seen are Qt, Wx. What else? Can anyone comment on these? I don't need OpenGL support but I need good primitive 2d graphics support.

    I am currently edging toward Wx because it's close to MFC but a lot less "turdy".

    I've discounted browser-hosted UI's already as well such as Electron. They aren't going to live 20 years.

    Scheduling algorithms

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 07:37 AM PST

    Hey r/AskProgramming, I'm looking for a bit of guidance with scheduling algorithms. My typical usecase would be to assign time slots (with variable lengths either 1/1.5/2 hours) to n classrooms. Note: my time slots will be fed to the system concurrently, and once assigned cannot be moved. The daily schedule start and end are the same across all classrooms... Any ideas what methods i should be using or any resources I should look into?

    Finding tag, set, and offset bits from an address?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 01:33 PM PST

    If I'm given an address like 0x348gahgajdj9 (completely random address I just typed), how would I go about finding the tag, set, and offset bits from this cache address?

    Scraping data from the front-end of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) software

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 11:31 AM PST

    I'm trying to figure out if this is possible, and I currently don't have an EMR subscription. My understanding is that the medical records are encrypted, but must be decrypted in order to display information for the physician.

    Once the records are decrypted, could the physician theoretically choose to export that data elsewhere directly from the front-end of the EMR? Is there, or could there be something preventing this from happening? Or would it just be dependent on that particular EMR system?

    Thanks!

    What does this code (possibly binary?)

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 06:03 AM PST

    Context: on a Norwegian cyber defence force medal. Divided in 4 lines like below (don't know if it matters). I have tried a binary translator but it only gives me jibberish. Could it be something other than binary, or is it just made up code? What do you think?

    in your opinion what are the best programs written worth reading/studying?

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 10:06 PM PST

    Novice programmer looking for insight from someone more seasoned.

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 11:16 PM PST

    Not sure if this is the right place for this but basically I'm a young dad with a small family and I just wanna try and figure out my best avenue (and language for that matter) that I can pursue to make some extra money on the side; preferably freelance because I have a full time job that I'm basically always on call for.

    So if anyone who has been in the industry has any advice on where I could even begin or what languages would be beneficial to look into I would appreciate it.

    When it comes to code I know just enough to Fuck everything up.

    • I started in middle school by teaching myself the basics of html to alter my Myspace. (I guess there was a benefit from the hours of my life wasted on that site after all)

    • Then high school I took a basic Java course.

    • And college I took intro to comp. Sci.

    • And finally I had a hell desk job for the better part of a year where downtime was spent on education. (Other than the calls it was actually a cool job just didn't pay well) and I learned a good bit of sql and a little bit of PHP and almost finished my net+ cert. but resigned before I was able to.

    I also have built somewhere around ten machines ranging from business desktops to gaming rigs to a small email server and a NAS. I've also ran cat 5 for an entire 2 story house and built their highspeed intranet.

    So yeah if you've read this much I really appreciate you. I'm not trying to get rich just would be cool to make an extra hundred bucks a week or so.

    My experience is kinda all over the board and I'm really good at teaching myself new things so if anyone has any advice I would appreciate any input.

    Is there a way to edit the url in my google browser?

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 10:40 PM PST

    everytime I load youtube, there is a "." after ".com" and it makes the whole website run terribly, but if i get rid of that dot it runs fine. Is there a way to run a script on my browser so everytime it loads something like "www.youtube.com.//" I can write a new string and write "www.youtube.com//"

    If anyone knows how to run a script on the url in a google browser, I could do the rest. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
