@Seth did you put the axe anywhere?

Seth

oh. no. It's in my inventory.

Sorry. I'll jump on real quick

TheWanderer

thx

TheWanderer

17:59

time for an intro to programming lecture

yay we're learning about the BIOS

"press enter to enter the BIOS"

what brand does that??

enter?

Kaz Wolfe

18:17

hey @NathanOsman, question for you.

do you remember the date that i wrote the sechat website for you?

TheWanderer

"1 is the code for everything is OK"

wat

Kaz Wolfe

nevermind, got it. ty search

Seth

@TheWanderer why are you learning about BIOS in into to programming...

is this HS? This is HS, isn't it.

Kaz Wolfe

@blade19899 Long explanation:

DKIM is public-key cryptography to prove that email came from a specific server. It does this by publishing a public component in DNS (with an identifier) and signing each message with the private component. The receiving email server takes the FROM address and the identifier in the email, and verifies the signature against the public key.

DMARC is a policy, basically. It instructs email servers what to check for with regards to DKIM and SPF, and what to do with emails that fail those things. For example, you can specify more about how to handle spam - how st…

@Seth college

Seth

@TheWanderer I'm so sorry.

TheWanderer

@Seth it was also more just of a "hey this is what supports your software"

but now we're learning how to use Visual Studio

Seth

Ok that's better. As long as you're not going to use Visual Basic now.

TheWanderer

and about what comments are

C++

the homework assignment due tomorrow is to print 5 messages

so naturally, I made a number guessing game

Seth

@TheWanderer This is acceptable.

Kaz Wolfe

18:35

why not java

TheWanderer

C++ is a mess tho

Seth

But why did they pick C++ for a beginner class..

TheWanderer

I hate the formatting of it

Seth

lol

TheWanderer

because "if you learn C++ you learn every other language"

Kaz Wolfe

18:35

thats any mid-level language

Seth

wut

TheWanderer

exactly Kaz

although to be fair, C++ makes no sense from Java

mostly because it looks sort of like Java

but nothing in Java actually works

you're not supposed to use global variables, for classes you need a header file

Seth

I mean. That's not really a reason to hate C++.

TheWanderer

string isn't String

no that's not why I dislike it

here's why I don't like it

Kaz Wolfe

nah c++ is a good language, but it is kind of a hammer

TheWanderer

18:37

you can't switch a string

Kaz Wolfe

it's designed at a lower level than convenient, i suppose

TheWanderer

you're not supposed to multi-line long concatenations or conditions

you have to define functions above where you're using them, or make a placeholder

Kaz Wolfe

what

TheWanderer

kek

but why did I just get 2 chat flags?

and why is it always from the Russians?

Seth

@KazWolfe It's a speed/execution efficiency tradeoff really.

TheWanderer

18:39

no matter how many times we say to only flag offensive messages

they still flag questions that should be on main

and other completely inoffensive

Kaz Wolfe

yeah, no, i get that. though the lack of a good string thing is kinda... fun for newcomers

TheWanderer

I want my strings

not wrapped char[]s

so multi-char inputs needs to use ugly if/else blocks

Seth

using std::string

boom

string

TheWanderer

it's not a real string

you can't switch it, you can't toLowerCase() it

Seth

Define real string.

TheWanderer

18:42

it has all the same functionality as a char[]

@Seth well in Java, it's a CharSequence, which has helper methods to make things manageable

you can't do much with a string in C++

Kaz Wolfe

stupid TeX

TheWanderer

masterful programming

Videonauth

@TheWanderer did he at least commented the program too ;) ?

TheWanderer

there's a comment on the x = x + 5

Videonauth

and he doesnt put you to sllep with this ?

TheWanderer

18:51

oh he was demoing bad code

Videonauth

lol

i seen worse

TheWanderer

jesus christ this guy in SO Russia

he's saying the system needs to be reworked because he isn't using the right flag

can I get some support?

Videonauth

which system?

c++?

Kaz Wolfe

curses incompetent bot

it. refuses. to. hand. off. to. slave. nodes. for. processing. ugh.

Videonauth

I can't remember if it's mods or CMs who can

Kaz Wolfe

mods can't, i don't think CMs can outside of db

Fabby

21:23

@KazWolfe Outside of DB?

Kaz Wolfe

database access

Fabby

so you mean "inside the DB"

UPDATE TABLE SET ACCEPTANCE=0 WHERE AID=x;

Kaz Wolfe

there might be a way without database access, but i'm not aware of it. i think it's like votes.
