COBOL Neckbearded Basement Dweller 17/05/17(Wed)19:51 No. 5042 [Reply]

File 149504350023.jpg - (8.86KB , 300x108 , Cobol.jpg )

Hi. When I was in university I worked for a short time by using COBOL, I only learned how to read and write into a .txt file by using this language, and now I want to go deeper with that.
So I found an online lesson of this language and it is said that I have to download the IDE Net Express 5.1 before starting. But this IDE is free for only 30 days (and the link is dead, I didn't search a other link yet).

So my very simple question is :
Do you know a other good IDE for COBOL that is free or I have to get a cracked version of Net Express 5.1 ?

Thanks in advance for your respond.

Sorry for being such a disgrace. But isn't there any simple tutorial for installing that OS COBOL?

Guys, I've literally tried everything and nothing works, maybe my level is basic but I really want to finish this project, the real problem is:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" org.hibernate.TransactionException: nested transactions not supported

So my save button can't send the data to mysql :s

Neckbearded Basement Dweller 16/08/14(Sun)11:09 No. 4925

ask your instructor to teach you a real language.

Neckbearded Basement Dweller 18/02/11(Sun)15:53 No. 5099

From your comments you want to send data to a MySQL. From the exception, you seem to be using Hibernate. And, more important, the error says: "nested transactions not supported". Look up your code for said transactions. Maybe you are trying to send two queries at the same time and they are not committed to the database?

And the next time, read CAREFULLY the error message and contextualize it within your code. They are there for a reason.

Today at work, in a code comment explaining the motivation for a design decision, I took a short jab at people calling themselves "webdevs" but who can't get right what I was doing. Fortunatelly, as I usually read and rethink what I write, I realized that was being a smug asshole so I removed that part of the comment and committed.

Tell me, /pr/, what's the worst thing you've written or seen someone else write in code comments?

The main use for comments, imo, is not to make it obvious what the code is doing, but why it's doing it.

It helps readers follow along and see the logical steps being taken in code, and if you don't work on code for a while you might even forget your own code and how it worked back then..

That's the only reason I write comments, so 3 years later when it breaks on a Monday morning and I'm staring at it bleary-eyed without any coffee I can figure out what the hell is going on.

Neckbearded Basement Dweller 18/02/11(Sun)15:44 No. 5098

I once was porting a file format parser that used unsigned integers for pointers to Java. For those who don't know, Java only have signed ints (in Java 7, which was the version I used at that time). I spent a whole morning writing code that converted the number to a long and preserved everything as intended. Before committing I wrote a large rant about Java in the comments above the code. If I'm not mistaken, that code and comments are still there for ~3 years and counting.

I'm hacking up a dynamic class loader, and I have all of the easy stuff done (dlfcn, dirent, etc.).
So the manager needs to know which container to construct based off the extension of the file that needs to be passed to the containers constructor.

The question then is: should I have the container shared object advertise which file extensions are supported or should I have it advertise a mime type?

My concern with using the mime type is that I would need a mapping from file extensions to mime type.
And my concern with using just the file extension is that there may be extension collisions.

Neckbearded Basement Dweller 18/01/06(Sat)01:24 No. 5092

Incase anyone is interested, I decided to implement the code analagous to the following pseudo-code:

for ( auto module : modules.equal_range( input ) ) {
try { auto module_class = module.second.constructor( input );
return std::unique_ptr< Module >( module_class );
} catch ( exception e ) { }
}

I let the modules advertise what inputs they support and use that do decide which loaded modules to attempt to create. In documentation I require that the module throw an exception if the input is not supported, or fails to load. I'll deal with the other issues related to that as I think of them.

I have basically none experience with advanced usage of computer whatsoever and O have no idea where to begin. I want to become the ultimate neckbeard.

Neckbearded Basement Dweller 17/11/14(Tue)06:47 No. 5086

I think it's kind of hard becoming a hacker. But mostly, the skills you need to train is knowing how computer network works in details.

Install a linux distribution. I really like Archlinux (hard to install, but you're going to learn a lot of stuff). Debian is also great.

Try to understand how computers interact with each other. What is actually happening when you browse the internet ? How does it work ? What is your browser actually doing when loading a website ?

Learn how to program. I recommend bash, C, python.

Understand what is a Network. Learn tools like NMAP and netcat.

Good luck.

results.Sort((g1, g2) => g2.depth.CompareTo(g1.depth));

Can someone explain to me what the hell this C# does?

results is a System.Collections.Generic.List

It's some kind of interface shortcut I guess? But what is => and why write it like that, does it save CPU cycles or just time for the coder himself?

Function currying and lambdas combine to make a thing called Streams (as my college puts it anyway), they are not quite the same as a filestream, however.

It's a great thing to learn, a bit tricky at first but can eliminate the need for complicated nested loops with slightly less complicated nested lambdas.

Thanks for explaining! I think I'll need to do a bit more research on lambdas before I grasp them.

I just failed a job application over a bizzfuzz. Please tell me what I did wrong.

> Started with a specification in Atelier B just to show that I can make trains work
> After writing the specification in B-Method, I went into Coq for a nifty proof
> I wrote all this using Acme with a 20 year old 3-button that I only save for special interviews
> My Coq proof proves, I extract the proof to Haskell. Then for shits and giggles, I show this clown why dependent types are essential for string-out by rewriting it in Idris
> I try to run it and it crashes. Fucking Idris 0.99 whatever no problem
> Turns out one of my types was a character off. Quick save, I just started talking about how I would have done it in CML instead if I wasn't crunched for time, and that I did it in peano numbers over the fibonacci sequence
