Is Windows development all boring app dev?
Seems to me that most of the interesting programming, such as distributed systems, targets Linux and BSD.
>>54798851
>app
>>54798851
It's an operating system, it's essentially front end so basically the same as android, ios, macos, js/html/css, etc.
The "interesting programming" as you call it typically focuses on data over user interaction. Either way, you're making a tool and the tool itself is what makes the programming interesting, not the domain per se.
>>54798851
You can do distributed system programming in Windows just fine the same way you can do drag-n-drop-baby's-first-program in Linux & BSD.
Your bait was delicious.

What's the best enormous phablet on the market right now? I'm using an Xperia Z3 but I think the sweet spot would be something around 5.5 or 5.7 inches. The Z3 is a god tier phone and it still works flawlessly after a year so I'm a bit undecided what to replace it with.
What's the best 5.5 - 5.7 inches android phone in your opinion? I'm undecided between the Nexus 6p, Xperia Z5 Premium and Huawei P9 plus.
And no I have no real reason to replace it other than autism and too much money. It's all about the tech in these little shits that...

S7 Edge
>>54798848
I owned a S4 and that was one of the worst phones I ever had. I'm done with Samsung, they're complete trash with god awful software, bugged updates, and they also cripple their phones on purpose when the new model comes out:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/samsung-galaxy-s4-4.4-kitkat-performance-cpu-throttling-dvfs,26414.html
The S4 was good on release and now it's unusable on Lollipop, and it was already nearly unusable on Kitkat.
So fuck Samsung.

Da fuck is REST? SOAP? RESTful? What is ANY of this shit?
I think Web Developers make up shitty phrases and terms to sound cool when talking to their mates. What is this shit?
Sure you are on the right board?
Ever heard of search engines?
>>54798985
Its always a wanna be smartass describing it in a 180 page post on some absurd board or forum. Is there a simple sentence on what it is god dammit?
REST is just the style of designing API, you have http endpoints like http://kikebook.com/people/ and use 4 different kinds of http requests (GET, PUT, DELETE, POST) for different operations, like GET http://kikebook.com/people/ to get collection of all people, DELETE http://kikebook.com/people/1 to delete first record from collection and so on.
SOAP is somewhat similar, as it enables you to access services via network (like Perl function registered on SOAP server which does something), but it doesn't use plain http, it packs the data into SOAP envelopes. It's...

Help a n00b out guys, what do to sort out pic related?
>>54798525
you have to download a different Distro. (You RAM is not compatible with ubuntu
Because you are a noob, start with linux mint, go to Fedora or Debian, then Gentoo
>>54798525
>what do to sort out pic related?
Check /var/log/syslog or see virtual console 4 for the details.

I was running ubuntu for ages and I wanted to try experiment with ubuntu server but I get this error, isn't this more of a disc formatting error? Thanks though
Aight bois. I know laptops inherently have shit heat problems, but this is fucking rediculous. HDD is literally 71c, and as you can see the APU is running at god damn 156f max. It's a shit tier AMD E2 vision budget ass computer I got from a cousin a while back, and it runs like ass. Is there ANYTHING I can do to make it run not as hot? I can't adjust fan speed at all, and lowering clock speed does fuck all.
>>54798472
You can take it apart, clean it inside, repaste, possibly replace fan for new.
>>54798491
See, the problem is i'm not sure if its one of those retarded computers that have the CPU built into the keyboard or whatever trickery they do. And I'm not entirely sure how to take apart one of those without breaking it.
>>54798505
There is not much you can do then. Maybe only use it for shitposting and nothing performance heavy.
Also there are tutorials on how to disassemble most of laptops so unless you have scissors instead of arms you should be able to do it.
SDR and Ham radio general.
I got into this neat little hobby a couple years back with the cheap RTLSDR usb dongle. Picked up myself a Airspy and love the 10MHz spectrum bandwidth display.
>>54798415
Here's a transmission of a 800MHz backhaul link from a local community radio station.
>>54798415
looks pretty cool actually
can u get that to send/receive outside standard FM broadcast freq?

Part of GSM spectrum using the Spectrum Spy tool.

I like Linus but come fucking on... His videos are starting to be just for entertaiment purpose onyl these days.
LinusShillTips isn't /g/. It's >>>/biz/.
He is a dumb label reader.
He doesn't know even basic physics, math, or coding.
He doesn't have, and never had, a legit tech job.
He doesn't have any tech related degree/diploma/course certification.
His Linkedin is full of management bullshit, swimming instructor, and boyscout.
Yet in spite of all of this he acts as if he knows anything, and as if he represents the tech collective.
He is a fucking marketer. His hardware reviews...

Will America take their first step into the first world anytime soon?
>just about the only ISP offering fiber is Google
Literally transfers your Internets right into their massive data aggregation center where it is used to map you out
I have Verizon Fios. If you live in the civilized Northeast then you have fiber access.

american telecom market is an oligarchy, they will never compete with each other or bring you fair deals

I know right? Even my eastern europe shithole has better and cheaper internet access with no data caps, fup, blocked ports etc.
While you fags argue about about which linux distro is best, women are pioneering real advancements in tech that will change the world.
What have you done to destroy oppressive gender roles and get more women in tech?

But why in the fuck should anyone care what you wear when you're playing a game? Isn't the objective of the game to win? Wearing lipstick isn't going to help you win, just like all those fancy ass cs go skins won't. Why should anyone even give a fuck what you wear? Oh, right. It's because all wimmin are attention seeking whores. I forget.
