Why was XP so comfy?
It wasn't, it's pure shit, looks like a kids toy.
Because you didn't know any better
>>54384828
Because since XP they took out a shit ton of useful stuff and replaced it with worthless "features" that nobody wants.
The operating system's name isn't "Linux" or "GNU/Linux"; there's just the GNU operating system and Linux is one of it's kernels.
If you can't distinguish a kernel from an operating system, you don't belong to this board.
>>54384233
the reason Linux is more popular is because its more readable and user friendly compared to GNU
That is one angry nigger.
GNU has to be one of the stupidest acronyms on the planet. I am glad its not popular, fuck stallman
What book do you recommend for learning CS (other than SICP)?
As a followup? Introduction to Algorithms
As a starting point? code.org
>>54383961
>Introduction to Algorithms
Is it hard?
>>54383961
As a starting point Simply Scheme is better.
>High PPI is a meme
Well, I mean, it's not. Who said it was? It's a technological advancement that has benefits (better image) and drawbacks (more computationally intensive, software support)

Is R&K still the best way to learn C?
Are the new things in C since the second edition worth learning/important?

What makes this better than just installing uBlock Origin?

Does no-one remember the rumours for the last 10 years of graphics cards releases?
Why does /g/ care so much about graphics cards? Is it because you guys are all elite-level competitive gamers?
>>54371223
Of course not, it's always hype hype hype. But keep in mind though, a broken clock is right twice a day and 28nm to 14nm should actually deliver. I'm actually thinking these Polaris cards will have overclocking headroom as well since Polaris was said to have been a major improvement in TDP.
can we have a retro technology thread?
i'm thinking of getting pic related, a libretto 50ct and dock for basically $50, i'd be trading some car parts i dont need for it.
what do you think? anyone here have some cool and odd vintage or retro stuff?
Tell me ,what you will do with this piece of tech ? I AM really curious
>>54347769
I have a 50ct and a 70ct. They are surprisingly useful and neat. The keyboard is very usable, despite the short keys.
The battery packs use commonly available li-ion cells so a rebuild is possible too. You will probably want to replace the motherboard battery on it.
A very useful upgrade would be a small CF / SD flash drive, replacing the internal hard drive. I want to do this, I bet it'd double the battery life which isn't that bad (2 hours?) as it is.
>>54347769
I've got a 50ct and 100ct, they're pretty cool novelties but ultimately useless.
Cute anime edition.

Some more new and not new Zen info.
Unit = 4 cores
Scalable to low power(4W-15W)
Strictly Inclusive cache = Meant for servers and HPC, and is more complicated than exclusive caches, AMD must feel confident.
Also the initial batch will only have 8 and 6 core CPUs, so AMD is sticking to one die for the time being, dual and quad core dies will probably come later unless they're strictly reserved for mobile.
Although if AMD can fit 8 cores in 95W TDP they sure as hell can fit 4 cores in <20W with lower clocks.
Raven Ridge (budget Zen) is Q4 2017
>>54389688
Not buying any less than 12 cores, I'll fucking wait.
Why is ``Move'' still an option when one can just click+hold the top bar and move the window?
thats to move a file, not move the option panel itself
>>54389059
Because sometimes my window goes into oblivion and it's gone for fuck knows why
Fix using aero peak and right clicking the window then maximize/move
Fucking annoying when it happens
>>54389059
So that people who've been using it since 3.11 can still stick with what they like.
I still double click the top left corner to close.

Crazy
I eat ass too dude
I'm less concerned with quality loss of generations, since images like that are usually re-re-re-watermarked shit anyway. I do like FLIF's compression - it's better than PNG and has progressive rendering. PNG /can/ do progressive rendering but it increases the file size. FLIF does progressive and gives better compression than PNG
It's crazy how much MozJPEG did right.
I'm thinking about dropping out of uni and attending a programming bootcamp. Is this a good step if I want to be a software engineer, and if it's good, what should I look for in a programming bootcamp to make sure it's not cheating me off?
>>54387129
If you're attending a java mill, you're already at a CODING XD BOOTCAMP
>>54387141
No but actually, are they worth it? I won't to avoid going through all this bullshit credits and just get a job coding
>>54387129
>software engineer
>drop out of uni
>to become a software engineer
just get a fucking computer science degree or most companies won't look at you. You'll get the same skill set but have more options in terms of internships and jobs at a uni than a programming bootcamp.
