OTC CatchUp #201

Date: 14-09-2024

Duration: 3 hrs 41 mins

Topics Discusssed

  • General Introductions

  • After Jia Harisinghani showcased her course project on Data Structure Animation, a few others shared some visualizers.

  • Bhavesh Kukreja shared some links to GNU Busybox printf.c, Tearing apart printf().

  • Rishit Dagli talked about how real-time rendering is not that computationally expensive after Jaden Furtado showcased his project updates.

  • Atharva discussed some projects he has worked on, which are also highlighted in his portfolio.

    • His movie streaming project uses a third party API to fetch movie data.

  • Jaden Furtado posed a question: Is success a result of hard work or luck?

    • Harsh Kapadia mentioned that luck is temporary, but hard work makes success last.

    • Rishit Dagli suggested that we could explore this philosophical concept and create an experiment to verify it.

  • vintus vinifera shared a problem statement about converting floor plans to 3D models using Blender for SIH 2024.

  • Harsh Kapadia showcased an example about string literals.

    • He defined two functions: one that returns a string literal and another that returns an array of characters (returns starting address of the array).

    • Since the array is local to the function, it is destroyed after the function returns, causing a segmentation fault. In contrast, the string literal is stored in the read-only section of memory, allowing it to be returned without causing a fault.

  • Jaden Furtado and Atharva discussed penetration testing techniques.

  • Rishit Dagli shared a problem he was facing with SSH access into a Slurm job.

Projects Showcased

  • Jia Harisinghani showcased her course project on Data Structure Animation. The project focuses on creating engaging animations and games to make learning and understanding data structures more interesting.

  • Jaden Furtado showcased updates to his project built using Vessel.js, which simulates all the components and systems of a ship.

    • He added middleware to handle requests and responses using Flask and WebSockets, based on the IEC 61131 standard.

  • Atharva showcased his movie streaming project, Orion View.
