To start off, I'm using a Mac and you know we have homebrew to install things, so lets use it to use boost in our C++ program.

To install homebrew:
Go to http://brew.sh/ and you follow the instructions to get it

Install boost:
`brew install boost`

Verify boost is installed:
`brew list | grep 'boost'`

Great, once it is verified now we need to include BOOST into our CMake project.

Open up CMakeLists.txt and make sure you have the below (USE C++ 14 PLS):

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.6)

project("PROJECT_NAME_HERE")

I have not officially programmed in C++ for a long time though I did program C in successfully fixing and refactoring a python C module. I've been programming Java at work for a good amount of time now.

IDEs are the staple of any low level language for me, though I can survive without them. Just a little slower because the lack of autocomplete. Anyway, there are many build systems you can use for C++, but I think CMake is a good starting point if you want cross platform builds. The link below is a good way t...

Prime example of today where a "leader" resigns directly to the evidence of not being capable of demands of the job.

Thanks Russia and hackers.

TL;DR: Enable private networking and bind to those IPs with your database and make sure your web server connects to that IP. You need to create a ssh tunnel to database server if you want to access from outside.

It's the end of the year and probably not my last post. This topic is something I've had to think about for sometime since the start of my job in Aug 2014. They were using private IPs and I had no a clue what this meant except that the machines could talk to each other without incurring bandwidth cha...

Last time I posted was in March? Man, I need to post a little more often...

My curiosity is still insatiable as well as my need to think about things. I feel torn apart at times when I want to learn this and that, but also want to DO this and that. Ask me today what I would like to do and they are things that I've always had in mind, but don't bother to allocate the time to it.

Let's take, one of my defunct projects, Celice and say there was a need for it in my mind since the javascript game engine space was ...

Yup, now show me the money

Many of us who use maven are used to using apt-get or yum on linux based systems. Well, WINDOWS has a third party package management system called Chocolatey.

On their website, you run this command in an ADMINISTRATIVE command prompt (you know.. right click cmd and run as administrator):

@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin

and then choco install m...

Alrighty, a new year and a fresh outlook for the year. It seems that I try to attempt starting up new things at the start of every year as well as stop doing other things.

I decided to deprecate and/or defunct many of my person projects primarily because I used to think a lot about what I'd like to do for the future and some projects just dragged on and/or lost interest. I'll give examples: Celice was supposed to be a lightweight modular JS game engine, but I found a far better engine, so there is no point i...

Looks like it is one of those times of the year where I am deeply enveloped in a project. This is one of those projects where you build on top of what someone else created rather than start completely from scratch. Yeah, I know blank slate is always better, but there is nooooo way I will create my own browser.

Let's go through what I've been doing. The idea is to control a browser to do what I want it to do, such that it can be used in a work project. The browser I chose is Google Chrome and that's mainly be...

I stupidly deleted my database server, so all my blog posts from now to Spetember 2013 are gone. :| I think it may be possible to recover some blog posts from Google or the Internet Archive, but I wouldn't count on it.

Anyway, I think it gives me a reason to start pruning posts towards what my ideal for this site is.
