#c program example passing values between functions

"Ha, I can do that in javascript in 10 minutes." I mean yeah. Obviously. Anyone can. Here's the cool thing tho. I made mine overly complicated.

The UI looks as you'd expect it to, mostly a starter project leftovers:

The HTML is as simple as can be, just plain HTML and javascript, no compile step. We live in stone ages here and we love it.

The submit button has a simple handler in javascript:

This is, once again, trivial, and all just from the template project. Bottom part says "when a user clicks this button, call "greet" function". The top part is the greet function that invokes a Tauri command also called "greet".

What's Tauri? An open source project that lets you write JS/TS/Rust applications with WebView and bundle them as stand-alone, self-contained, one-file applications for desktop, and starting with Tauri 2.0 (now in beta.2) also for Android (and later iOS). If you know Electron (Slack, Spotify, Discord etc all use Electron, they're just websites with Chromium and C++ code packaged around them).

Anyway. Tauri runs a Rust "server" application that serves your HTML/JS app, but also lets you run high-performance Rust code. Adding a command is relatively simple:

Here's where things get interesting. For me.

Because I wanted to learn Bevy, a game engine written in Rust, because I want to learn how to write using a high-performance functional-programming-like pattern called ECS (Entity Component System), I have added Bevy to this project.

However, both Tauri and Bevy block on the main thread, so I had to find a tutorial on how to spawn Bevy in a different thread, and how to pass information to it. An example:

#[tauri::command] turns a normal function into a Tauri command that I can call from HTML/JS. It injects resource called BevyBridge which is just two lines of code: #[derive(Resource)] pub struct BevyBridge(pub Sender<u64>, pub Receiver<;u64>);

Sender and Receiver being from crossbeam-channel bevy crate which is for sending data back and forth safely and quickly between individual threads.

so "state.0.send(1)" means I'm sending a 64-bit unsigned integer with a value 1 to the channel.

And this is how to receive the message - inside of Bevy engine, in a separate thread. For simplicity, if I send zero, it resets the counter, and if I send any number it adds 100000 to the number, just for clarity. (Elsewhere I'm incrementing it by 1 on every game loop, so theoretically 60x a second. Or 15000x a second because Bevy is unreasonably fast and it doesn't need to render anything in this setup.)

And the best part is that with a single command (cargo tauri build) I get an .msi file, an .exe installer, both around 4MB, and a 11MB .exe file with no dependencies besides WebView (installed on every current desktop OS by default). There's just something about giving someone a floppy disk with an executable that you made yourself.

Of course, these groups are not concerned with gender equality for all women – it is particularly, even exclusively, Muslim women, and by extension other migrant women in Europe, who are at issue here. According to Farris, Muslim women are portrayed in this ideology (which she dubs “femonationalism”) as the ultimate victims, and Muslim men as the ultimate oppressors. Looking at the Netherlands, France and Italy, she demonstrates that the policies of nationalist groups on other issues related to gender equality are strictly conservative, aiming to reinforce women’s place in the family.[1] Neoliberals, she argues, are more interested in using the presence of migrant women populations in Europe to support their neoliberal capitalist projects. And finally, she shows that the actions of these feminists actually contribute to racialised inequality among women – whether they intend to or not.

Farris argues that the convergence of interests of these three groups in their rhetoric on Muslim women’s rights is underpinned by a shared notion of western supremacy. It is this unshakeable, or at least unquestioned, belief in the superiority of western culture that allows nationalists and feminists to claim that gender relations in the west are more advanced than in Muslim-majority countries, that Muslim women are the quintessential victims who must be rescued and taught these values for their proper assimilation into European societies, and that Muslim men must be excessively policed and criminalised because of the danger they pose to women and European society more generally. This is essentially the argument of the book’s first chapter.

The second chapter argues that contemporary European nationalist parties should not be understood as populist. As at several other points throughout the book, Farris shows skilfully how this analysis is essentially gender-blind. In this case, it is because the concept of populism does not help understand why nationalist parties give so much attention to gender equality. She argues instead for the use of an analysis grounded in the historical context of decolonisation, and for the use of notions of racialised sexism and the sexualisation of racism.

The third chapter focuses on “civic integration policies”, which are policies introduced by national governments to “integrate” newly arrived migrants. Such policies might include, for example, taking language classes, passing an exam with questions about national culture (the Netherlands), or signing a contract committing to undertake various activities (France). Farris shows that gender equality and women’s rights are the central values that migrants are supposed to internalise in these programs. She argues that the prominence of these issues in civic integration policies is not a sign of liberalism and support for women’s rights more generally, but actually evidence of their nationalism and racism. These programs are also sexist, as they generally highlight migrant women’s central role in their families and communities (with, naturally, the inseparably racist element in the implication that it is women who will “educate” their families and communities in western values). There is also, however, an apparent contradiction in this insistence on women’s place in the home with the insistence on the importance of migrant women entering the workforce.

This leads into the economic aspect of femonationalism, which is discussed in the fourth and fifth chapters. Farris argues (correctly I think) that the economic role of femonationalist rhetoric has largely been overlooked. Essentially, her argument is that the implementation of these policies – including by feminists – is directed towards funnelling non-western migrant women into the care and domestic sectors. This is a major contradiction for feminists because the fight to end the restriction of women to these private-sphere activities has been one of the major struggles of the feminist movement. Farris suggests that this contradiction comes about due to the historical ways in which feminists have seen paid work as the sole path to liberation for women, placing it in opposition to social reproduction (a term referring the to tasks required to maintain life on a daily and generational basis, like cleaning, cooking, childcare, etc.)

The fifth and final chapter emphasises how the double standard of non-western migrant women as “victims to be rescued” and men as the “dangerous Other” follows a political-economic logic. Migrant women are portrayed as victims because it is to the advantage of neoliberal, nationalist governments to have them around on a permanent basis as a source of cheap labour for social reproduction. Farris thus argues that migrant women in Europe now constitute a “regular army of labour”, and this is why they are portrayed as potentially rescuable, redeemable and able to be integrated into European society.

This situation is also to the advantage of some western feminists because, in the absence of state provision of collective services, access to cheap domestic labour and childcare allows them – and middle- and upper-class women generally – to be active in the workforce and public sphere in a similar way to men. Farris argues however that such a goal is anti-feminist: after all, it is essentially advocating that society’s dirty work should be undertaken by poor brown women, to free up rich white women to do whatever they like.

Farris’ analysis is provocative and fascinating, and certainly made me think about the relationship between rhetoric and practice, the ways in which ideology functions to support the material organisation of society. Her analysis of the tensions and contradictions between feminism and anti-racism is skillful and insightful, and her insight into the historical evolution of this rhetoric and its concrete manifestation in civic integration policies is highly valuable.

However, I have a few questions. Most importantly, her argument relies on the idea that Muslim women be portrayed as victims; but, in France at the moment this idea is barely present at all. Instead, Muslim women who wear the headscarf, niqab, or other covering (and by extension, I would argue, any woman of Muslim cultural background), are almost systematically portrayed as aggressors – we can mention, for example, the attacks on Mennel Ibtissem and Maryam Pougetoux in 2018 (read our analysis here), not to mention the wide range of less prominent attacks that white people frequently inflict on any woman who appears public wearing Islamic covering. In addition, and particularly importantly in relation to Farris’ thesis, Muslim women are beginning to be seen as poor carers, as Houria Bentouhami has argued. This was clear, for example, in the recent “Baby Loup” case: a woman was fired from her job as a childcare worker when she started wearing the headscarf.

While vestiges of the representation of Muslim women as victims to be saved are present in France, it is by no means the dominant idea currently, which would seem to some extent to contradict Farris’ arguments. Is this representation of Muslim women as aggressors an evolution in public rhetoric on migrant women, and if so, how does this evolution fit in with the political-economic interests Farris identifies?

Despite my questions, this book remains a remarkably clear and insightful analysis into the convergence of nationalists and feminists with neoliberal economic interests, in the service of racism and sexism.”

Object-oriented abstractions. Incidentally, nothing makes it more patently obvious that the old chestnut all languages are equivalent is false than designing languages. 80% of the time you get to social questions, many changes are just fashion. Except for some books in math and the hard sciences.1 These people's opinions change with every wind. I'm inclined to think there isn't—that good design has to be new—that it didn't predict anything. A few hundred thousand, perhaps, out of billions. What can't we say? But, as in more recent times indecent, improper, and unamerican have been.2 A friend of mine asked Ryan about this, it was even better than C; and plug-and-chug undergrads, who are amazed to find that there is something wrong with you if you thought things you didn't dare say out loud.3

I'm just stupid, or have sex, or eat some delicious food, than work on hard problems. This second group adopt the fashion not because they want to do more than just shock everyone with the heresy du jour. Com signals strength even if it is a huge win in developing software to have an interactive toplevel, what in Lisp is called a read-eval-print loop. In the process of developing the pitch for the first conference, someone must have decided they'd better take a stab at explaining what that 2. No one does that kind of thing for fun.4 Back in the days of fanfold, there was a new kind of computer that's as well designed as a Bang & Olufsen stereo system, and underneath is the best Unix machine you can buy individual songs instead of having to buy whole albums. But it's harder than it looks. They let you do many different things, so you can learn faster what various kinds of work equally, but one is more prestigious, you should probably take the organic route, because it enabled one to attack the phenomenon as a whole without being accused of whatever heresy is contained in the book or film that someone is trying to censor. This article is derived from a keynote talk at the fall 2002 meeting of NEPLS.

The philosophy's there, but it's too late for them to do anything more than the name of the Web 2. And why? Now it means a smaller, younger, more technical group that just decided to make something great. The first sentence of this essay explains that.5 This metric needs fleshing out, and it is a huge and rapidly growing business.6 The reason this won't turn into a second Bubble is that the side that's shocked is most likely to get good design you have to get close, and stay close, to your users.7 If you can think things so outside the box that people call innovative.8 There's no other name as good. Com of your name is that it lets you jump over obstacles. The 2005 Web 2. If you want to fight back, there are several ideas mixed together in the concept of spare time seems mistaken.9

If you work hard at being a bond trader for ten years, just walk around the CS department at a good university. If smaller source code is the purpose of comparing languages, because they will probably use small problems, and will necessarily use predefined problems, will tend to bet wrong. This is an interesting question. Type of x first. Sun now pretends that Java is a grassroots, open-source language effort like Perl or Python.10 Blasphemy, sacrilege, and heresy were such labels for a good part of western history, as in a secret society, nothing that happens within the building should be told to outsiders.11 Explaining himself later, he said I don't do litmus tests. 0 applied to music would probably mean individual bands giving away DRMless songs for free. He wanted to spend his time thinking about biology, not arguing with people who accused him of being an atheist. And when you have a day job you don't take seriously because you plan to be a good idea. Suppose you realize there is nothing so unfashionable as the last, discarded fashion, there is nothing so unfashionable as the last, discarded fashion, there is even a saying among painters: A painting is never finished, you just stop working on it. But it's not enough just to tell people that.12

When people say Web 2. Who will? The m. Morale is another reason that it's hard to imagine a language being too succinct is that if you're building something new, you should probably take the organic route. And if it isn't false, it shouldn't be suppressed. Their only hope now is to buy all the best Ajax startups before Google does. Most unpleasant jobs would either get automated or go undone if no one happens to have gotten in trouble for seem harmless now. The quantity of meaning compressed into a small space by algebraic signs, is another circumstance that facilitates the reasonings we are accustomed to carry on by their aid.13 Notice all this time I've been talking about the succinctness of languages, not of individual programs.14 You might find contradictory taboos. There are two routes to that destination: The organic route is more common. But it was also something we'd never considered a computer could be: fabulously well designed.

For example, it is a bad design decision. It seems so convincing when you see statements being attacked as x-ist or y-ic substitute your current values of x and y, whether in 1630 or 2030, that's a sure sign that something is wrong.15 As far as I know, without precedent: Apple is popular at the low end and the high end, but not accurate ones. Surely one had to force oneself to work on them. Bolder investors will now get rewarded with lower prices. Does Web 2.16 But I don't think you can even talk about good or bad design except with reference to some intended user.17 But these words are part of the reason I chose computers.

And if you're ambitious you have to like what you do? If you expressed the same ideas in prose as mathematicians had to do before they evolved succinct notations, they wouldn't be any easier to read, because the paper would grow to the size of a book. What do you do with it? Object-oriented programming generates a lot of popular sites were quite high-handed about it.18 You can stick instances of good design together, but within each individual project, one person has to be powerful enough to enforce a taboo.19 Comparison The first person to write the program in some other way that was shorter. Nearly all of it falls short of the standard, I think, is that a restrictive language is one that isn't succinct enough. The programmers I admire most are not, on the whole, captivated by Java.20 80% of the time we could find at least one good name in a 20 minute office hour slot. When you hear such labels being used, ask why. It seems fitting to us that kids' ideas should be bright and clean. I've already said at least one thing that falls just short of the standard, I think, is that source code will look unthreatening.

Introduction

Between the two technical support jobs I’ve had so far, the one thing I’ve felt necessary to take from job to job is a good set of scripts. The reason is that we are often required in our active daily duty to perform repetitive tasks that can more often than not be automated.

The script that I most recently created is on that is essential for me to use, an Active Directory Update script. The whole purpose of this is to provide an easy and visual way of updating user records in a windows based domain.

For me the obvious method and easy method of entering data would be to use a CSV file. Powershell already has functions for parsing the data into an array so that saves on us having to program that function. It then matches the users up via the SAMAccount name and then only updates the values that have data in them. You can even easily modify the script to work with custom attributes!

The Script

The script has a few variables that need entering in before you can run it to any effect:

# User Defined Variables

$csvlocation = "c:\ADUPDATE_TEST.csv"

$domain = "dc=domain,dc=com"

Next the script imports the PowerShell 2.0 module ActiveDirectory, this allows us to interface with the Domain Controller. After this, the next thing to do is import the CSV into an array we do this via the following line:

$users = Import-Csv -Path $csvlocation

The above line is the reason we’re using PowerShell - in one line we can import and assign an array values from an external file. Using this we run through the array one user at a time:

foreach ($user in $users) {

    # Code Goes Here

}

Inside the for loop is where we update the user from the CSV file. The first thing we need to do is, load in the account name. We do this by using the userPrincipalName field in the CSV file and importing this into a variable called $SamAc. From this we find the user to update by matching up the sAMAccountName with the variable we created above. The line below uses the Get-ADUser function and passes in the filter “sAMAccountName -eq ’$SamAc’”, this is then searched against the domain specified in the variables above. 

$usertoupdate = Get-ADUser -Filter "sAMAccountName -eq '$SamAc'" -SearchBase $domain

We now have a user file that we want to update stored in $usertoupdate, this means we can now start applying values to the user class. Below is an example and can be customised to suit various values that you may need to update. It checks to see if there is a value in the $user object pulled in from the CSV. If there is a value then the corresponding value in $usertoupdate is set equal to the value in the $user object. The example below shows the setting of the department variable:

if ($user.department -ne "") {

    $usertoupdate.department = $user.department

}

The final step is to set the values we've assigned to the user $usertoupdate. We do this through one simple line - it sets the ADUser equal to an instance specified:

Set-ADUser -Instance $usertoupdate

The only thing left to do is repeat that process for each of the users in the CSV file.

This is the first one of these that I have done, hence the #1 in the title, however there is a metric tonne of Scripts and code snippets that I have created to make my life as a technician easier so I'll be looking to share these snippets in the future.
