Q: Can you help me find the name of an anime I watched when I was a kid?

I only remember 1 scene from the anime and very little about the characters but if you know it I would appreciate it. The main character is a guy and he is some kind of monster like a demon or maybe a vampire or werewolf and he started becoming friends with a girl in a town and I think they start...

Q: What happens if there is no relic in a summoning?

In Unlimited Blade Works, we eventually learn that Archer was summoned as Rin had a relic associated with him (i.e. the pendant Shiro keeps). In the recent anime adaptation, there is also some statement to the effect of "a relic is required to summon a servant". Similar sentiment is expressed in...

@ton.yeung fire dude as Berg Katze? or OD?

@ton.yeung i remember a lot of fire during their fight in the first season

Logan M

There is someone who uses fire in Gatchaman?

Only ones I remember are Utsutsu and Hajime

Memor-X

@LoganM and i remember them as "Life & Death" and "Scissors"

the others i remember as "Samurai", "Tank" and "King" and Katze only appears in his Gatchaman form once. the Trap dude didn't have a Gatchaman form

@ton.yeung OD, he's form kinda as a Kingly appearance to it

in my opinion atleast

@ton.yeung oh wait, now i remember, Joe i think his name was. the one who looked all neat at his day job

he was like the first to get his ass kicked by Katze onscreen

At one point, the "rule" was that if you need to pin something and there's already 2 or more pinned messages, unpin something before you pin your own thing. I feel like that should still be the standard.

Also don't pin things unless everyone needs to read them.

@ton.yeung It would be great if I was not the only one with free time.

@ton.yeung First year of employment. Most of the people I know work and don't have free time. I quickly get bored when I try to do stuff alone but everybody else I know is working.

@ton.yeung Well, I know. The problem is that I'm especially bad when it comes to getting along with random people for no reason. I program on my free time, which is also great for my resume.

For example, I never used C++ for an actual job but I still have a link to a proposal I wrote to improve this programming language on my resume. It does the job of proving that I actually know shit about it.

@ton.yeung Well, I can get along with friends of friends, friends of family, family of friends... but it gets really awkward when I know nobody to start with.

Well, it's true that there are some times when you know people but don't really want to have anything to do with them ^^"

@ton.yeung I mostly learnt how to use the language by myself (SO helps when I have questions) and with online articles. I got fond of the concepts it allows to use. Some of them can be really elegant.

@ton.yeung The C++ lands are far more appealing today. If you afford to have to deal with its legacy from time to time...

Probably Python for something that is "general".

Morwenn

If you only want to learn programming and don't have a specific project, Python is a good choice. It's easy to learn and use, quite powerful, not too hard to read and still one of the most general-purpose programming languages.

Matt

Toshinou Kyouko

there are lots of jobs that use python too

it depends what you want to do

Morwenn

I don't know, in my jobs in mostly used Python to develop desktop applications.

Toshinou Kyouko

c# is where the moneys at tho

all the finance and government jobs use that

@ton.yeung something like Haskell could fall into that, but python is pretty mainstream now

Boni

I think of Python as a jack-of-all-trade language. Similar to bash / batch scripts in regards to "just get it done". If you want to do things properly, it becomes a domain-specific problem. You need proper tools for that.

Morwenn

Python is great when your projects encompass many domains.

Like a general-purpose domain-specific language, whatever it means.

Boni

15:51

@ton.yeung Which falls in the category of "I just want the answer", most of the time.

Morwenn

I use it for scripting and developed desktop applications to replay photos/videos sessions. Also to write a plug-in for a GIS. And I used it to develop a small server also. And to send SMS and phone calls and communicate with a FTP server. And... well, many other things.

16:22

@ton.yeung Sorry. I did not mean any hostility; I was (and still is) confused about the point of the PhD stuff. Anyway, "just get it done" is the point of a general programming language.

I agree with C# / C++/ Java, etc programmers getting paid more. And I also agree than VS is the best IDE there is at this point in time (it is still a bad IDE though!) Neither of those has much to do with general programming.

Morwenn

Yesterday I had to plot data for the results of a sorting algorithm in C++. Seriously I was glad to know Python, otherwise I would probably have to learn Matlab, Scilab, R or something else.

JetBrains IDEs are more than decent.

Boni

@ton.yeung I cannot say. I have not touched on C# at all.

@ton.yeung Explains why C# caught on.

Morwenn

@ton.yeung I only used PyCharm which was great. But I have heard that CLion is also a great IDE even though immature; it natively supports CMake as a build system and integrates BiiCode too.

Frosteeze

I think Python is a great general programming language, but im not quite sure that's something to introduce to new programmers

there's things that might make them hard to transition to other languages like in-line compilation or the lack of braces

Morwenn

@Frosteeze It's probably one the the most teachable languages in my opinion.

Frosteeze

16:28

course im not an expert on Python so idk

it's teachable, I'm just not sure the skills you learn in Python can help you with other languages

well i mean, compared to other languages like Java or C#

Morwenn

I use C++ everyday and I really love it but I would never consider teaching it to someone that's only half-motivated.

Too damn hard and expert-friendly.

Boni

@Frosteeze My knowledge in Python consists of two days of free time spent on reading a tutorial. And I agree, Python does not help with your programming skills in general.

Morwenn

Programming langages shoudn't be hard to learn. I remember having some classes at school where we had to do networking in C. Seriously, most people had problem with C syntax being too damn obscure, not with networking, but they began hating networking because of that.

And Python does manipulate some interesting concepts such as coroutines, but it does so in a way that does not make the user wonder what it is they're doing.

Boni

@ton.yeung I guess that is part of what I meant. To have a mind set of some sort of programmer. Not that I would know what that really means, since I am not a programmer.

Frosteeze

@Morwenn but that's the thing. If you started off with C++ you'd probably have an easier time with C. But you're right that if you're not intending to be a programmer, something like Python would be good to start.

Morwenn

16:37

@Frosteeze I already knew C and Python when I really got into C++.

Frosteeze

it works both ways really. Learning C first gives you an edge on C++ and vice versa

Morwenn

Seriousy, the biggest efforts fall on the language designers, not on the everyday programmer.

Frosteeze

yes, so what happens when you want to be the language designer?

Morwenn

It does not work both ways: learning C gives an edge how exactly to produce bad C++ code. Seriously, C++ is more teachable if you don't start with things like "it is just another layer above C".

@Frosteeze You pick your favourite language, take the place of both the user and implementer, sit down, and write a proposal.

Frosteeze

16:48

@Morwenn so you're saying learning python gives more of an edge in learning C++ than C? how?

nhahtdh

@Morwenn This is exactly the reason why I didn't put C++ in my resume... I never actually learn it properly - only know enough to use the STL library without knowing much about the rest of the language

Morwenn

@Frosteeze The actual concepts used to write good code are closer. Design generic interfaces and use classes when you need to, write functions when it is enough for a task.

Frosteeze

Ok, I'll agree with that

Morwenn

Use the standard library, don't manage memory by hand, let the language close resources in your stead...

Don't reinvent the wheel every two days.

@nhahtdh Mastering the STL and its concepts is already a tough job.

nhahtdh

@Morwenn Not really - just enough to use them as map, list, set, etc.

Morwenn

16:52

Well, you know the concepts of input/ouput streams and you know that there are collections x)

Don't worry, most people don't know that there is more to it.

Frosteeze

@Morwenn can you learn about pointers and memory management with python? I'm just curious since like I said I'm not fully experienced with the language

nhahtdh

Yeah, I stopped there (in term of coding). I know there are also classes, OOP and template and smart pointers, but that comes way later and I never got a chance to use them

Morwenn

@Frosteeze Not really. But you don't always need them in everyday programming.

nhahtdh

@Frosteeze Most high level languages abstract those concepts from you, so you don't have to debug for memory leak

Knowing them is important, esp. when you dabble with performance and memory usage, but having to think about them when you code is a headache

Frosteeze

@nhahtdh I'm not talking just about memory leak. There can be weird things in C#, for instance, when you use ref in the parameter or how interfaces work. So while you don't need it for everyday programming, you do need to be aware of it.

And you need to be aware of it to transition to other languages. That's my entire point.

Morwenn

16:58

Don't worry, most Java programmers I know of don't really get that references are actually garbage-collected pointers and nothing more.

nhahtdh

Pointer is indeed something presenting and lurking in many languages, so it's important to know.

My comment is more about memory management

From my experience with a few languages, basic knowledge about stack and heap is important, but the part about malloc/free or reference counting is less important, aside from C and C++

Morwenn

17:12

It has been months since the last time I manually allocated memory in C++.

nhahtdh

My day job's project's source code is a mixed of C and C++, which is compiled as C++

Nuff said

Frosteeze

@ton.yeung those guys apparently dont

Morwenn

You don't use interfaces when you have duck typing and/or concepts.

Well, more like you don't use interfaces when your language does not support them.

@ton.yeung How do they differ from Java interfaces?

Well, so do concepts.

@ton.yeung A C++ feature that is still not implemented but that has been discussed for the past 15 years.

Basically, it serves the same purpose as interfaces, except that your type doesn't have to explicitly "implement" the interface.

The types only have to satisfy the concept requirements.

void sort(Iterable& collection);

^^ Here, Iterable can be any type that has begin and end methods that return a type which satisfy the Iterator concept.

It also has semantics. You can overload on concepts.

Currently, you'd write more or less template<typename T> void sort(std::enable_if_t<is_iterable<T>, T>& collection);.

Taisho

Morwenn

17:28

Interfaces are used to tell "every type implementing this interface will have to satisfy some requirements". Concepts do the same thing except you don't have to explicity tell "I satisfy thiese requirements". The compiler will check it for you and warn you if the type doesn't.

@ton.yeung How so?

Every useful feature can be abused.

Interfaces are merely a compiler-assisted way to document which functions should a class implement. Thy just brought into the language what was originally in the documentation.

Much like contracts, except interfaces work on types, not on values.
