[HELP]Why every explanation about quicksort is somehow different?

IMRC21 — Thu, 26 Nov 2020 16:51:19 +0000

I'm trying to implement a basic quicksort algorithm, I've understood the basic concept behind quicksort and now I'm looking online for a step by step guide.
I've followed through about 7/8 guides and what I've found is that every guide has different ways of using the pivot and different ways of using the two pointers/counters.
Some follow these steps for the pivot:
1.Decide a pivot
2.Swap the pivot with the last element of the array
3.Search the element from the left that is greater than pivot and element that is smaller than pivot from right
4.Swap those elements
5.etc...

Others do this:
1.Choose a pivot
2.Put left pointer to 0, a right pointer to the last element of the array
3.Start comparing left pointer to pivot, if left is smaller than pivot move pointer forward
etc...

Let's just say that before reading the guides I think I knew more about the quicksort algorithm.

What guide do you recommend?

Edit: there's some kind of problem with text formatting, I'm sorry

[HELP] Best proxy server socks5

IMRC21 — Tue, 30 Oct 2018 16:07:28 +0000

Hi, I am really struggling to find a good socks5 proxy to use on my Linux machine.
I have found tinyproxy but the version that I get from apt-get does not support HTTPS and it's a normal HTTP proxy, not even socks5.
I can't even find good documentation about squid or other proxy servers, it's such a niche argument.
I don't have such a great knowledge of http and tcp protocols to create one myself so I'm kind of lost.

Thank you!

[VUE] How to access a variable from another instance

IMRC21 — Tue, 11 Sep 2018 10:34:32 +0000

Hi, I'm sorry if this might be a stupid question but I didn't find any answer on the web. Maybe because I am not using the correct keywords idk.
Anyway, I'm using VueJS to create an application that keeps track of your blood alcohol level.
I am using 3 vue instances and I have to access an array from a v-for witch is located in another vue instance.

Here is my code: https://jsfiddle.net/nsk0g1ou/

I've put my vue instance in a variable and tried to recall that but it's not working.

Should I use mixins?
I hope I've been clear.

Bootstrap alternatives, which one do you prefer and why?

Moving JSON informations to a default JSON template [Solved]

IMRC21 — Fri, 29 Jun 2018 09:23:25 +0000

Hi everyone, I'm working at this since last week and I still can't find a way to solve this problem.
I have to adapt this JSON to the standards of this one.
I'm currently working in c# and this is the first JSON file adapted in c# classes:

The second file parsed in c# classes:

Basically I need to fill dynamically the second class with the informations of the first JSON.
From the first file I don't need "Intervals" and all the informations that you cannot find in the second file.

Hope I've been clear and not OT, thanks.

[EDIT] It shows "open in VS" because I have vs installed on my pc, didn't know that lol. I would keep this post for the future when actual changes will appear in github. If you ever notice one just write here a comment.

What should I learn first: react, angular or ASP.NET?
