I just started learning C++ after some shitty little course in java,if you want someone to learn with I'm down,hate learning this alone

while the chances are slim, is it possible? quite, if you keep at it.

however, going from 0 programming knowledge to full blown artificial intelligence is crazy, baby steps, OP

It's 256-bit AES

Anon Approves

I vould have use for this, but it would require 3 changes:

+ Nick support
+ Chan topic
+ Private conversations

I've not heard of that. I just use the thumb up key to make a favourites list that I can listen to later. helps me, helps them.

who's we? do it.

Quite a few people could, actually. But there really are a bunch of decent sites out there that cover tutorials for every language thats worth it. Get a plan what you want to do, find the language you want to learn and get started.

If you want to grasp the concepts first, check places like
http://www.codecademy.com/ http://teamtreehouse.com https://www.udacity.com/

and propably many more.

Yes, it is your lucky day, for I feel like taking on another grasshopper--and I am a very experienced computer scientist who was fortunate enough to have been trained by the greats in our field.

>Nope. Neither C nor C++ have any such things.
XML?

>Well, you're an idiot.
Remember kids: brutal ad-hominem is the only argument C/C++ supporters have left.

>Swapping notations doesn't change the semantics.
It does: you get macros, which in-effect transform whole language.

>self-modifying code because those things aren't part of the C machine model.
Embed GCC or TCC - and you have EVAL.

>Your "Lisp" would be incapable of lambdas
Lambda is just an object with virtual methods.

>XML?
I'm not sure what it is exactly that you're trying to argue.
1. XML is not part of C or C++. It probably is part of Java and .NET, but the point below will make that irrelevant.
2. You appear to be implying that the fact that there exist XML parsing libraries is evidence that string types often or with relative ease grow into full blown language parsers/interpreters in C-like languages. I fail to see the connection.
3. Come to think of it, even in the broader scheme of things I'm not sure what it is you're saying. That every program in every language should be capable of parsing programs written in the same language?

>Remember kids: brutal ad-hominem is the only argument C/C++ supporters have left.
I merely called you an idiot on account of your argument, since only idiots confuse syntax and semantics. I then proceeded to refute your argument. An insult is an ad hominem only if it is used in lieu of a proper counter-argument.
Idiots also are wont to use terms or phrases they don't understand, like "ad hominem".

>It does: you get macros, which in-effect transform whole language.
A C compiler has no idea what macros are. It doesn't suddenly became aware of them and able to generate code from them just because it built its AST differently. Likewise, a desk calculator wouldn't magically be able to loop if you changed its input method to RPN.

>XML is not part of C or C++.
Yes. It is an external dependency.

>I fail to see the connection.
See, for example, Qt's QString which embeds HTML formatting.

>That every program in every language should be capable of parsing programs written in the same language?
No. It is just that SEXPs are uniform and have a lot of reuse, while your language has bloated syntax and still depends on Lispy languages, like XML and HTML.

>A C compiler has no idea what macros are.
It does, because struct and enum are macros, expanding into simple form. The C/C++ is itself a macro language on top of assembly, so you can implement C/C++ semantics as a Lisp macro, giving a list of ASM mnemonics or even brainfuck code.

>But then you've done more than just switched syntaxes, which contradicts your original premise:
Nope, because most Lisp code doesn't require EVAL. You do EVAL to compile new code, which is rare.

I'm actually a Robotics Under-grad at the moment. I really strongly advise starting with C, for several reasons. If you're a complete programming noob I'd reccomend getting "C Programming - Tony Royce" and get "The C programming language - Kernigan and Ritchie" (K+R). Royce is really fundamental so if you've got decent programming experience it might be a bit simple. K+R is a book that no matter what level you're at, it's always brilliant to have.
But yeah, basically C gives you the ability to go really low level, in terms of directly modifying regisers and doing bitwise operations, its super vertasile, and most higher level embedded programming languages are based upon it, i.e. arduino.
ASM is good to know but the issue with ASM is it's very tedious to program in and isn't in the slightest bit user friendly, on top of that ASM is dependant on things like the architecture, proccessor and compiler so you don't really just learn ASM as a whole, you learn it for specific systems.
ASM will let you get right into the nittygritty of a system so is useful if you need something to be super precise or accurate.
If you're more interested in the software side of Robotics and don't want to get too involved you'd be best of getting an Arduino and learning the native language for that.
If you want experience in hardware and software then I'd reccomend buying a couple of cheap Microchip 8bit Microcontrollers e.g. 16f877A and then learning to use MPLAB with the Microchip XC8 compiler. MPLAB provides a good interface in which you can program, compile, build, and debug your software and hardware. The XC8 compiler will let you program in C with support for ASM commands.
Get to know a specific microcontroller from a specific vendor and then you can advance on to some of the more complex micros from that vendor.
I would not reccomend Python, unless you're really good at it and want to make complicated AI algorithms.
If you're going to learn asm and don't have much prior experience, you may find it a bit of a mindfuck.
All that asides, you'll spend most of your time reading datasheets anyway.
tl;dr Learn C

Raspberry Pi + Arduino is pretty good to start with if you're getting into robotics as a hobby...Arduino is badass and you can use python or C as well.

You can go long with MELFA BASIC for Mitsubishi, RAPID for ABB for and KRL for Kuka, depends what robot you have and can afford! All those look pretty much the same anyway, kind of like the retard child conceived after Basic and Pascal had threesome with COMAND.COM.

Noteworthy thing is, that while the control structures are usually from adequate to insanely high level, the memory model is kind of a mess, at least what comes to industrial robot and PLC kind of embedded computing.

Things like word oriented architectures can still be found, along with weird endiannessed, segmented- or banked memory and requirement to manually assign variables to memory addresses. How ever, there wont be pointers nor a way to read or modify the data-memory by address. Also, no data structures apart from fixed arrays and did I mention 6 character variable names and company policy of using Hungarian notation? By the way, those are six characters at most, not six significant characters.

Alternatively, as it comes, the weirdness is possibly only emulated on a normal byte-oriented, little endian, Von Neuman machine and the abstractions can break in subtle ways, that of course are well-documents, so the breakages by no means are bugs.

The special functionality of the languages will be implemented directly as keywords. This is no blessing, how ever as it means that every keyword may implement the policy of its own, for example some arguments can be only constant for no apparent reason, or there may be character affixed added to the said constants that are specific to a keyword, some argument may take a list of arguments with parentheses (usually coordinates); this kind of fun.

lol, I'll bite.

How is secret intelligence stored:
Often on an internal company/organization network, disconnected from the internet. These types of networks are usually certified by some lesser known organizations, that guarantee a certain level of security.

Is there a single secret intelligence darkweb that gets used?
No. Darkweb implies that the users are anonymous, which creates unresolvable risks when verifying the identity of a user. Verification of a user identity is essential for any transaction of secret data. A unknown network type with secret data could exist, but it's rather unlikely. "Secrecy through obscurity" is generally considered a risky gamble.

On the management of secrets:
Not really familiar with this. It would seem that legal consulting firms play a big role here. It's heavily tied in with Intellectual Property right (IP's), so it's safe to assume there are legal or contractual guidelines that describe in detail how sensitive documents need to be stored.

Do secrets ever get lost:
Not on a regular basis, but it happens, if you mean "lost" as in "accidentally destroyed". No system is perfect.

I'm going to assume oyu're from the US.

There are several levels of security. Secret, Top Secret, ect. Each level requires more government bullshit. At secret level, you must have an "air gap" between a secret network and a public network. The same computer can't be on both a public and secret network and the secret network doesn't have wifi.

You can only access if you are physically there. If your a diplomat, you can get access only by sneakernet on your job.

If you want a job doing this stuff, join the military. As a military person, you easily qualify for secret status. Afterwards, get a job in computer security and with your security clearance, you'll be made aware of where you can go with this kind of thing.

Just a warning, after you get past secret, you give up your 4th amendment rights. You can be searched at anytime and you are constantly monitored, so you'll probably want to give up the habit of browsing *chan boards now.

You have Unclassified, Secret (SIPRnet), Top Secret, they're tunneled through the regular internet they are just encapsulated with layers of encryption. They use various types of encryption devices such as KG-175 or Taclanes all this shit you can look up in wikipedia...as far as trying to break into it, it's pretty much impossible since it is encrypted with AES, but viruses get passed around pretty fucking easily on unclassified computers and the process of transferring unclassified information to a classified machine is a bitch so people get lazy and use thumdrives which can get viruses anyways long story short the physical servers aren't encrypted at all however the second they touch the regular internet they have like 4-5 layers of security
