Best real world problems to practice for desktop development? Ask Programming

I miss Windows 95. I think about developing a simple browser that never auto-refreshes a page and if a browser crashes, never re-opens the same page. I think it would be useful for some people like me who miss the way browsers were due to them never re-submitting forms and if you type a web address, that's what you get. If the address doesn't exist, you are not re-directed anywhere. You just get an empty page.

I'm a beginner and was wondering if this is even possible or if newer versions of Windows have laws that prevent that.

Intercom-like app question

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 01:26 PM PST

Hi guys, I have a question.

I want to make an "Intercom like" app -- in that, it loads code (through a <script /> snippet from a server, and serves it on the client page.

My question is, on a high-level, how would I go about doing this?

For example, if the client page has an organization id (like Intercom does), then on the server are we just generating a JS file with that id and serving that? If so, how do we auto-generate this file? I'm a bit confused about how it all fits together and any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Programming on an iMac with remote desktop connection when travelling

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 10:08 AM PST

Hello,

As my current 13" macbook pro from 2018 gets overheated (you can literally fry eggs on it) and because of the current project requirements, I need to start up several docker containers and everything is very slow.

I am looking into solutions and looking at aws workstation, the desktop-as-a-service paradigm gets more momentum, and it makes sense to have all the processing done somewhere else.

I consider buying an iMac to keep at home (as I do home office 90% of the time) and connect from the mbr with apple's remote desktop client to it, while running the IDE / containers on the iMac.

How feasible is this? How does it work if I want to do remote desktop connection from the laptop using one (or two) external monitors as well? Anyone tried this setup?

Trouble understanding Design Patterns (specifically, Command Pattern.)

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 12:10 PM PST

A little background first.
I've been programming for roughly 6-7 years by now, outside of my personal project in Unity, I tend to work mostly in C since it suits my style and my programming philosophy very well. Because of this, I've never really properly learnt Object-Oriented Programming, and this is causing me quite a few issues.

So, now for my issue; I've been tasked with making a program that uses a few Design Patterns. Of which the one I struggle with the most, and my brain refuses to understand: The Command Pattern. I need to use this specifically to be able to undo actions, and to be able to export/import data. (The language I use for this program is C++)

After searching the deepest corners of the internet for information that might make me understand it, I still have no understanding of the Command Pattern, so I would like to ask you; If you have any clear and simple videos/guides/etc. that explain Command Patterns in a way I'd understand, please do comment. I would appreciate any help massively.

Not of strip comments from a C program

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 07:23 AM PST

I use an SDK that is riddled with typos, in the comments. I do not have access to the repo. Successive versions have new typos.

I would like to create a 'nix script/program that outputs the file and line number of each typo. Hopefully the authors of the SDK would use it prior to each release to put out a better product.

I have found examples of stripping comments from C code, but not dealing with the comments.

Has this problem been solved before? I can't be the only one on the planet wanting this solution.

I see one solution to be 1) strip comments, diff against original file, remove dictionary words from diff, grep original file for each remaining word. Grep outputs line numbers. Pretty heavy handed, no code just scripting.

Python would be a possible language solution. It handles strings and has most of the 'nix diff/grep/etc tools.

A C parser in Python would be a big help.

How should I proceed?

I've written a bot in C#, I want to make a web control panel/dashboard, where do i start?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 04:41 AM PST

I have written a bot for my discord server in C#. It's running on my server and I want to be able to control it remotely. I have very little experience in creating websites but i do know basics of front-end languages like html, css and js. I was thinking to maybe create a website using asp.net and connect the website and bot using pipes but i'm not sure if that's a good idea. I have zero experience when it comes to connecting back-end and front-end. Where to I start to create something like that? What's the secret? How Does stuff like that work? I need some advice.

Difference between support vs statistical model in Spacy?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 06:17 AM PST

I'm new to spacy and have been playing with syntax analysis for the 11 languages that work right out of the box. It lists many more (53 total) that it supports but apparently doesn't have a statistical model for...what does it mean to have language support but not a model?

If I want to use syntax analysis on a language not in the 11 I've tried, what do I need to do...create a model? Is that feasible for a personal project with ~no funds?

Is it possible for a third party app to autofill credit card information without actually taking me to the website or would it think it's a bot?

Posted: 30 Nov 2019 05:33 AM PST

I have an idea for an app/browser extension, but I have no programming experience. I want to pay someone to create the app but I want to make sure it's possible first. One of the main proponents of the extension is that it autofills credit card information into websites that I never actually visited. To clarify, they would have their info saved into the app/extension and the app would go to these websites and fill in the cc info without actually showing it on the screen. (There is much more to the app than this but this is just one of the tools). I know that chrome and safari have autofill options but they all only work if you're actually on the website, is it possible to autofill through a third party app/extension. Or will it just think the app is one of those bots and start IP banning people who use it.

What can I do, I don't have the time to actually repair my laptop and don't have the money to just buy a new one?

Basic question. Can I make multiple servers in C++ in the same program and have them communicate with each other?
