whats your upgrade history?
i'm looking at getting a poolaris card later on
waiting for the gtx670 equivalent for the 1080 generation of cards.
I cant justify wasting my money like that
>>54719811
*like you, actually
>>54719811
Polaris 10
or
1070 probably your best bet.
Depending on your budget and the performance gap, we'll see in coming weeks which is more bang/buck.
Should I install DOS?
Can I?
Can I even run anything with it?
Is your machine from the mid 90's or older? If yes, then install DOS and enjoy some pretty sweet old games on original hardware. If not then >>54719819
>>54719837
no, but I have a Dell Optiplex in my closet I was wanting to fuck around with

So I signed up for a bootcamp and start my coursework next week. It's supposed to be super labor intensive and help you land a job as a junior developer. I understand you guys might be skeptical, but my question isn't about the bootcamp specifically.
My question is what makes a good programmer / developer / coder? What are things I should know so that, whenever I get hired at your place of work, you don't end up endlessly frustrated at me. What are practices of a good coder? What makes bad code bad?
Just for the record, the bootcamp teaches a lot...

Good at symbolic thinking, good at logic. You need excellent communication skills and lots of tenacity. Being able to think procedurally and do things methodically instead of haphazardly is also essential.
Programs are just giant flow charts with arithmetic embedded in them.
>>54719525
Well I taught propositional / symbolic logic at university for five years, so I'm pretty comfortable with that. I like to think my communication skills are pretty good, too.
I guess I just have no idea how to identify bad coding.
So far (from what I can tell), having useful comments is good while having no comments is bad. Also, you want to create things so that they consume as few resources as possible.
I read in java you shouldn't declare certain kinds of variables by making them begin with capital letters.
That's about it :(
What linux distro should I use /g/
>>54719297
Ubermix is pretty great
>>54719297
Anything but a gtk distro
>>54719297
If you are a casual user use Ubuntu, Elementary OS or Mint.
If you are new to Linux and want to learn more about it try Debian.
If you are an advanced user you could try Arch or Gentoo.
Am I imagining it or did they improve the font rendering in Chrome?

Still looks like shit.
Download GNU/Linux, preferably Ubuntu or some other distro with sensible font rendering.

Is there a light (<1.6kg) FHD laptop with 10 hours or more of battery that's well-priced and doesn't have a tablet CPU?
>Dell XPS 13
It has the adaptative brightness problem, unsolvable in the FHD version, and the QHD version costs more and has around 4 hours less of battery.
>Macbook Pro
Costs as much used as a new XPS 13. 16:10 though.
>Zenbook
Tablet CPU.
Macbook Pro is pretty much your only option.
>>54718889
Too expensive even used, plus it probably has the worst Linux compatibility of any laptop I've seen.
>>54718917
This is untrue. Also, why would you want a FHD laptop with linux, the ugliest OS? kek
Need a solid gaming laptop for under £1,000. Vague request, but let's see your suggestions, /g/
>>54718652
Fuck off and do your own research you lazy incompetent cunt.
>>54718652
There are much more fun projects than gaming.
Make a file server and implement you personal cloud storage.
Study GPU passthrough, what hardware you may need and set it up.
Hard mode: Make a mail and CUPS printer server.
Create you own terminal based text editor that is compatible with vim addons.
Implement your own database, with all your login details stored in a single encrypted spreadsheet. Link them properly and see your own relational diagram.
Make your own VPS.

You dont know much about marketing do you?
What podcasts do you listen to?
Do you host/produce one?
If yes, do you mention 4chan and /g/ a lot?
How do you SEO your website and potentially monetize it?
Shamless advertising but fuck it, http://cigan.in/
Any recommendations on how to improve it?

Do you have difficualties holding attention span for that long? There is literraly nothing wrong ~1h. It becomes more diffult to listen to them as they approach 2h mark simply because you need to be able to allocate this much time unless you like taking breaks.
>>54718475
OP, it seems to me like you could use better mics or a compressor because you and your buddy peak quite often when you get more excited and it makes it beyond painful to listen. Audio quality is acceptable if you're just giving it a go and don't feel like investing anything in it otherwise upgrade asap.
>/g/ said FB was going down and mark zucky was giving away shareholder's money by buying his friend's instagram for 1 billion

Yes the reason is that his family was Jewish and was already well-off, so this piece of shit went to Harvard not because he worked his ass during summer, but because of his family. Then he stole an idea some friends at Harvard came up with and that's the story.
Face it. He's a try-hard. He calls himself Dr. Stallman despite only having honorary degrees. That would be like Kanye West calling himself Dr Kanye West. But he doesn't because even he knows that's pretentious.
If Kanye West is less pretentious than you, you're doing something wrong.
Stallman is a gargantuan faggot who calls himself a 'doctor' without having gained a PhD, destroys any credibility he has by acting like an ass "I'm not glad he's dead but I'm glad he's gone" and his only real claim to fame...

Why are PC speakers either trash or $500 professional studio monitors? Is there no middle ground?
The "middle ground" depends on your budget and expectations.
There's an "autistic true audio instead of toy computer speakers" in almost every price range, especially if you don't mind buying used, but if you don't have the time or interest you can get away with basic computer speakers and be satisfied unless you're an audiofag.
Audiophiles are the highest form of autism. Don't go audiophile, OP
>>54718255
Are there any "autistic true audio" speakers for around $100?
Looking for something that sounds crisp at the sacrifice of some bass. I'm aware I'm not getting both.
