how to find on linux

Find is a realy fast and convenient way to search through your filesystem. To find any file by name just type:

[sudo] find -name 'name_of_file'

sudo is required if you're seeking in the directories you don't own. Flag means searching by name. Words in single quotation marks are the name of the files you search. Like almost everytime in linux, you can use regular expression as a keyword for find.
Like, if you wanted to find a file but didn't remember it's name except 2 first letters:

[sudo] find -name 'na*'

Just a short reference for regexps:
* replaces any kind of character of any quantity.
? replaces any single char
for more detailed reference 

The second most often used flag using find for me is -type d, which means you want to find a directory:

[sudo] find -type d -name 'fooDir*'

and this command finds any dir in within the pwd(present working directory) which name is fooDir(any amount of any chars here).

For more detailed reference do  

man find

Отсюда мораль: используйте const всюду, где возможно.

Если вы обозначаете глобальные переменные или локальные переменные в большой функции такими именами, как i или x, то сами напрашиваетесь на неприятности. Если члены массива обязательно надо инициализировать разными значениями, то начинаются трюки с глобальными или статическими членами.

Надо самому накодить хрень и понять что она хренть. Посмотреть как сделали другие и проникнуться красотой их решения. Почитать книжку и ощутить гибкость подхода. Но без первого пункта - не выходит)

Qt and Boost

I achieved installing the highly respective Boost libs to my Ubuntu 13.10 and also including libs to Qt.
Follow these steps:

1. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/bbv2/installation.html
2. and then just add to your .pro file:

               INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/boost

        LIBS += -L/usr/local/boost/ -lboost_archive

std::exponential_distribution distribution(lambda);

Читати справжні надруковані книги, виявляеться, так захоплююче!

OpenClass

Few days ago we participated OpenClass competition. Failed. Me, Paul and Dmytro. It's ok, the tests were not so easy.
I also learned to control non-human-operated programs: main with params!!
I am so proud of myself! Ch. D. V. would be proud of me too :D
