I store my school programming work on google drive. From home I just access the google drive file on my computer, but I can't do that from school.
Can anybody recommend an app for editing cpp files in google drive? Preferably free, poor college student and all that.
I found drivecode, but it doesn't seem to work with cpp files and on header files it's not doing any markup.
Neutron Drive seems like exactly what I need, but it's not free.
Alternatively, any suggestions on another cloud-based development platform that I could use would work too.
screw Google driver, for single files use
https://gist.github.com/

for large project as said above, start learning mercurial. later you will need it professionally.
In light of the comments under the question, I think the best option is actually to use a service like gitHub, mercurial, bazaar, or svn, because of the availability of version control in those platforms.
You might also want to try out Google Code, it's not quite as advanced as GIT and hopefully it's not blocked either. Also, you already have a Google account, so you won't have to make a new account for anything.
Google Code allows full editing capabilities online, but you can also create a repository using it and download your code when you're ready to compile. You may need to learn a little bit about it before you can start, but once you upload your code you can edit it all right there, and it also formats automatically, making it better than Drive.
If Google Code is in fact blocked, I would also suggest trying GIT or some other service, but they're a little more advanced. Google Code has served me well for simple projects in the past.

can somebody explain to me please:
1) Can a py file just by its mere "existence" on your hard drive (if not opening it), cause any kind of malicious harm for your computer system? And if your goal is only to see the content (text of code) of the file, how could you open it to be 100% sure it could not harm your system (for example by the standard text editor tool?)? Or can you only get to the content with Python specific programs?
2) If someone asks you to look at her python code, and wants to send you for this reason several py files - could opening such file harm your computer system/perform "malicious" actions (how?)?
Please take into account for your answer, these three different ways of how you would open the files:
a) you open with the program from python.org
b) you open with a IDE
And a third question:
3) What about the official program from python.org itself - does this program somehow open up your system to additional internet attack types, just by having it installed?
Finally,
4) Is it more secure in terms of online security, to interact with python programs on a separate computer and not the one you do everyday business?
Thanks community!
Q1: No, it's just a text file. So you can view it with any text editor
Q2. If you mean by "opening", viewing in text edit, see answer to Q1. If by opening, you mean executing the script, then the answer depends on what the script does
web services don't run on your local computer, so they can't harm it.
Q3. The answer is no, because python installed on your computer is dormant.
Q4: There are lots of thing you can do on your computer which can do damage. For instance, you could delete all your files in your file explorer. Surely you already have backups?
Python scripts are human readable which makes them a very ineffective place to put secret code which does nasty things.
I've never heard anyone put python anywhere in a list of security risks, but if you are worried, use virtual box and run it in a virtual machine. I do a lot of my python development in a virtual machine, but not to minimise security risks ... there are other advantages to VMs (such as ease of backup, ease of moving to another computer). The other advantage, if you are using Windows, is that you can use a Linux VM, such as Ubuntu, which is a better experience for modern development. I think because of this, Microsoft has actually made it easy to install Ubuntu directly into Windows, if you have a recent version on Windows 10, so that's another option (e.g. https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-ubuntu-on-windows#0)
I haven't look at web IDEs for a while. As long as they have interactive python debugging, they could be a good option. I had the impression that cloud 9, now an amazon offer, was the best one, last time I checked them out.

I am building a mobile dating app and plan to leverage google's cloud infrastructure.
I'm trying to figure out whether the entire application should live in a single GCP project or not.
On reading the best practices documentation I can see they advise the following naming convention:
[company tag]-[group tag]-[system name]-[environment (dev, test, uat, stage, prod)]
So should I split all the core components of the application between different projects? For example one for the data science matching algorithm (fizz-ds-matching-dev) and one for the android application? Or should I jam it all in one project?
Looking to follow best practices...
You're asking for some heat here. What to call things is probably as confrontational as asking vim or emacs!
As an employee of a large company where I oversee like 50 GCP projects my advice would be pick a naming scheme that lets your i-dont-have-time-for-this-kubernetes-gke-yaml-shit developer/pm/boss man find the project they want in 8 key presses or less.
A scheme which has worked well for me is: org-app-environment which is fairly close to what google recommends. I imagine your ops, so dont try to be clever with your naming scheme. Even though your users are dev, they're still users. If it takes them more than 5 seconds to find their project, they will do whatever the equivalent of an Arab spring is in the software world.
You need to find the nirvana of if the new guy is using this, is it easy to filter and find and is it quick to identify wtf is running there.
I recommend org-app-environment. Drop the org if you only have one, otherwise keep it.
Gods speed ops man.

I've built a pretty extensive open source project that I'm soon going to publish online. It's got full documentation, source, and everything else you'd expect from a project, but no website.
I've been looking around for inspiration, and found some great open source website examples written by the pocoo team, for example:
Flask
Jinja
The problem is, I'm not a designer, and can't make web designs if my life depends on it.
So my question is: are there any good HTML/CSS templates out there that would be suitable to use for an open source project? Preferably something simple that shows off a bit of code, and links to docs, help, etc.
Sphinx is a documentation system that should be able to help you out. It's very popular in the Python community, and actually those pages you pointed out utilize this tool, as well---look at the bottom of the pages. The official Python documentation uses it, too.
It uses the reStructuredText markup language, so that's what you'd need to read up on if you're not already familiar with it.

I have had contact with Google Chromium Code and that’s terrific for building applications with. The problem now lies that no-one has tried to use it outside Google Chromium Project. What I have in mind is to develop an open source project which may be used for this purpose. The fundamental goals would be:
Guarantee Linux-Windows support for the same code.
Take advantage of all resources available like thread control, stats, unit test…
Make it clearer how to use Skia for graphic effects and customizations.
Present a useful application doing the most of this.
Integrate C++ and JavaScript code using V8
Use Webkit for rendering html content
There’s a chance of it get off the paper. What do YOU think?
Claudio M. Souza Junior
Developer.
see https://github.com/lianliuwei/chromium_base
I create it for the same reason like you.
chromium is great project. It's code could be useful to using in other project. but It need time to extract it. I see one project to extract the ui part, but it change too many for noreason for example it change the .cc to .cpp. my project extract the base, ui, view part for the origin project, rm the ICU (it's so big) and gurl(you can add it quick) keep the gyp, gclient, grit-i18n, gtest, gmock... change the code little. and keep the extract history. I add a new type of messageloop for using it in the MFC(for company project :( ) now it can only work on Windows but it's no so hard to make it work on linux.(google do it all)
for use the browser in you project you can see the http://code.google.com/p/chromium/ for help.
It's great this project help you a litte. I at first think it's a no one care project.
I'm assuming you have looked at the extensively documented and developed QtWebkit and know why you don't want to use that?
I'm sure it will be easier to use V8 in a QtWebkit application than to somehow tear out Chromium's "View project".
Qt has the bonus that as long as you operate within the framework, everything will work on a lot of different platforms (more than Chomium now supports I think).

I have an unfinished MathML rendering library written in C++. I ceased development a few months ago due to lack of time. The library [still] uses the TrueType version (unsupported) of the STIX fonts beta [version 1.0 of the STIX fonts (OpenType Postscript format) has since been released].
Development of this kind of library is a HUGE undertaking and, in fact, requires a number of programmers/developers. In my case, I am doing it alone, and here's my question:
Does anyone of you know of any foundations/philanthropists who may be interested to fund my project in return for open sourcing the code?
The funding will serve as an incentive for me to finish the library - perhaps by taking a sabbatical :p - and, of course, as 'payment' for the intellectual property involved.
I've searched the web, contacted some [e.g., foundations, VCs, angels, etc.], but I either did not get a response (from VCs and angels) or was rejected (one reason is geography since these foundations support only US-based projects).
As an aside, when I search the web for MathML, the results are often outdated. I guess there's not much activity concerning MathML. Yet, I believe this library will be very useful not only to developers but also to anyone who uses math, especially students and teachers. It is useful for e-learning, can be used with desktop apps and web servers (Windows), makes it easy to insert images of formulas in PowerPoint documents, etc.
Any suggestions are most welcome. Thank you.
EDITS: I have finished this library finally without funding, although I don't rule out seeking one.
You can find my new site below with lots of sample formulas; click on the download link to download the SDK.
http://reformath.webnode.com/ (preferred for statistical reason)
http://reformath.weebly.com/ (please use the above link instead)
DON'T forget to provide some feedback - or donations. Thanks!!!!!
Since we've already got open source MathML (Firefox has had it for years) that mean you'd have to do something better than the existing OSS solutions. And at that point, why not work on an existing open source project?
So that leaves commercial apps that may want a closed library for MathML rendering. I would go after companies like the makers of MathCad, Matlab, or any other engineering software that may want to display equations neatly. You should have something that already works for some subset of the things you/they will want it to do. You should also turn yourself into a company before going to those places so they take you seriously and you can license it to multiple customers. Otherwise the most you're likely to get is a job offer where they'd like you to hand over what you've got (for free if they can get you to) and then work on it as an employee - which may be all you want if you love it and hate your day job ;-)
You should probably ask on www-math list, also if you ask there, we can list your application in the software implementations page
