Hello everyone!

Result For C++ has seen several improvements from last week. Several new functions were added:

• map()
• map_err()
• expect()
• unwrap_err()

All methods now have a const counterpart (except for or() and and()) and const references are used as arguments wherever possible.

If you like what you hear, you can check out the repository:

C++ implementation of Rust's Result

C++ Result

This is an implementation in C++ of Rust's Result. This is a WIP so not all methods found on Rust's Result type will be here at first. If you would like to help and implement the methods found in Rust's Result, that would be appreciated.

List of methods to implement

• iter()

Quick Start

This library contains a header and a source file. Just include the header and add the source file to your list of files to build. Result for C++ uses some C++ 17 library features so you will need a compiler that supports C++ 17.

Compile with clang++ -o program main.cpp other_file.cpp -std=c++17

In other_file.cpp:

#include "result.hpp"

...

Documentation

Currently, no documentation exist at the moment. The best source of documentation is at the Rust STD Documentation website.

SDLImageWrapper is C++ wrapper around SDL_Texture to provide an easy to use API and automated clean up through RAII.

A few new things were added including the ability to flip and rotate the image.

Noah11012 / sdl-image-wrapper

A C++ wrapper and helper class to render images in SDL2

SDL Image Wrapper

SDLImageWrapper is a C++ wrapper around SDL_Texture for ease of rendering in SDL2.

Quick Start

Build

You will need SDL2 and SDL2_image to build and use this library. This library contains only a header and a source file. Simply include the header file and add the source file to the list of files to be built.

For example, if you have clang++ installed:

clang++ -o program main.cpp other_file.cpp `sdl2-config --cflags --libs` -lSDL2_image

In other_file.cpp:

#include "sdl-image-wrapper.hpp"
...

Of course, if you were using a build system generator like CMake you can just add the source file to the list of files for a target.

Usage

When using SDLImageWrapper you must ensure that SDL2 is initialized and that also SDL2_image is initialized. The constructor and open_image() will throw an SDLImageWrapperException if an error occurred. If a call to render_image() results in an error, an…

Libpixmap is an easy to use C library that allows you create, open and manipulate pixels of PPM image formats.

Not much has been updated since then but documentation has been updated.

Noah11012 / libpixmap

Simple to use library to read and write PPM (portable pixmap) images

PixMap library in C

Libpixmap is a library to read and write pixmap image formats with a simple to use API.

Getting Started

git clone https://github.com/Noah11012/libpixmap.git

cd /path/to/libpixmap

mkdir build && cd build

cmake ..

If you want to change the install prefix, enter the following:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install/prefix

make

Because this library only contains a header and source file, you can simply include pixmap.h and add pixmap.c to the list of files needing to be built.

Example:

clang -o program main.c another_file.c pixmap.c

In main.c:

#include "pixmap.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
}

Documentation

pixmap_image_new(char const *name, int width, int height, int max_color_val)

Creates a new at the path name and with the dimensions of with x height and the maximum color value of max_color_val. max_color_val is clamped at 255. Free with pixmap_image_close(). Returns 0 on failure.

中文介绍(Chinese Intro): zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/45672318

CVPM (Computer Vision Package Manager) is an open source software to help developers download, install and run computer vision services. It is the 'pip' for computer vision.

Though it is still in a very early stage and not recommend for use in production (actually, I do not recommend you to try it now because it may contain unknown bugs), We'd like to invite adorable developers to join us. We have a roadmap draft as below:

Complete the test cases and docs.

Complete the Model Hub. (Prototype is at hub.autoai.org)

Complete packages for some classic tasks as "Official Repo"

Complete third party package upload.

As an open source software, I am really sorry that we cannot promise you anything. But the following is what I can do:

We will have an Authors List for all the contributors.

There will be logo banner and donors page at the bottom of our Model Hub for sponsors.

If you are interested, please contact me at [e-mail], or you can post a GitHub Issues, or chat on gitter!.

MojiScript is always looking for contributors. There are a bunch of first timer issues issues up for grabs here: github.com/joelnet/MojiScript/issues

You can also contribute by playing with the language and providing feedback!

Cheers!

[Jeremy Grifski]

Awesome! I follow a lot of these niche language repos. Let's get some snippets added to the Sample Programs repo!

[JavaScript Joel]

Awesome. I'll have to check this out. I have a FizzBuzz example for sure:

Looking to get the DEV iOS app out the door if anyone wants to clone it and play around and find/issues.

thepracticaldev / DEV-ios

DEV Community iOS App

DEV iOS 💖

This is the repo for the dev.to iOS app. It is still a work in progress, but getting there!

Design ethose

We will grow to include more native code over time, but for now we are taking the approach of native shell/web views. This approach lost favor early in iOS days, but I believe it is a very valid approach these days. It is inspired by how Basecamp does things. Our tech stack is a bit different, but the ideas are the same.

signalvnoise.com/posts/3743-hybrid...

signalvnoise.com/posts/3766-hybrid...

youtube.com/watch?v=SWEts0rlezA

By leveraging wkwebviews as much as possible, I think we can make this all pretty awesome and sync up with our web dev work pretty smoothly. And where it makes sense, we can re-implement certain things fully native, or build entirely native features. Life's a journey, not a destination.

1. Fork and clone the project.
2. Install Carthage. If…

I'll also add this here for anyone looking for little web dev things to do. I added this as a comment for a newbie looking for simpler projects:

Oct 12

If you want to help dev.to out a bit, feel free to seek out some language/framework sites that could use a DEV link and add them to the relevant pages.

Similar to these PRs:

• reactjs.org
• Nodejs.org

Thanks to you or anyone else who wants to do some of this! 🙏

[Ben Halpern]

Also, if you see that the date inside of the comment is out of place, that's an issue with our liquid tags that need to be worked out. PRs welcome 😄

Hey, folks.

Re-posting Sail, the Rails engine to bring settings functionality to control your application live.

Since my last two posts about Sail, we have received contributions from some members of the dev.to community. We have expanded the amount of setting types, enhanced the dashboard and added authentication configuration.

If you'd like to contribute, here are some possible starting points:

• Enhancing the dashboard looks (pretty open to suggestions)
• Suggesting new setting types

There are also a couple of things that feedback would be very useful:

• Would it be interesting to implement a history of changes for settings for auditing purposes?
• There are two new ideas of setting types needing feedback. We'd like to know if it is worth to implement these
  • File type: setting will return the contents of the file for a given path
  • URL type: setting will return true if the current controller request matches the configured URL

Sail brings settings to help you navigate your Rails application live

Sail

This Rails engine brings a setting model into your app to be used as feature flags, gauges, knobs and other live controls you may need.

It can either serve as an admin control panel or user settings, depending on how you wish to apply it.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sail'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sail

Adding the following line to your routes file will make the dashboard available at <base_url>/sail

mount Sail::Engine => '/sail'

Running the generator will create the settings table for your application.

$ rails g sail my_desired_migration_name

Which generates a migration to create the following table

create_table :sail_settings do |t|
  t.string :name, null: false
  t.text :description
  t.string :value, null: false
  t.integer :cast_type, null: false, limit: 1
  t.index ["name

You know all those #hacktoberfest repos where you can contribute code snippets to learn how to make pull requests. Why not do that with a more long term project called Sample Programs in Every Language. In addition to code snippets, we automate our wiki, and we try to write articles to explain each of the available snippets. If that sounds interesting, check us out!

We're sitting comfortably with 88 stars and 50 forks, so we're still a small project which means you'd have a ton of opportunities to make an impact.

[Nilkamal Shah]

I am in, please let me know how to contribute?

[Jeremy Grifski]

Sure! We have a contributing doc which should cover most of the details, but to summarize:

Pick a language you want to contribute to and check out what's already been contributed. If there's anything missing, feel free to make a pull request with the change. I recommend making an issue for your contribution first so no one beats you to it!

Otherwise, you can always propose new sample programs by making a pull request to the contributing doc with a description of the problem you'd like to solve.

If you're interested in writing, we are in desperate need of authors! :)
