-60% sounds like a solid deal. If you really want it go for it.
ur mom sucks dick for less than that
In the beginning, there was spaghetti code.
And Dijkstra said, ‘Let there be Structured Programming! Thou shalt consider goto harmful and organize your code into functions with proper control flow mechanisms.’
And programmers said, ‘OK, sure we’ll do that.’
Then Dijkstra saw that code was still spaghetti and said, ‘Stop sharing state willy-nilly! Thou shalt avoid global variables and instead pass all state through the call graph.’
And programmers said, ‘Er, um, wait, really? We haven’t really figured out this functional programming thing, nor do we want to pay the overhead of immutable data on today’s machines, so what you’re proposing is horribly impractical and inconvenient for non-trivial programs.’
But the programmers did agree that shared state is problematic and that maybe they could cut back on all these global variables.
And so Object-Oriented Programming was born, and the global variables lived happily ever after disguised as singleton object fields.
Someone needs to get the eBook for this so /g/ can complete it
Or you could learn proper design and cut your singletons down to zero.

Isn't your entry point always going to be a singleton? Or does it not count if you're hiding it in the framework-of-the-month?

Fucking awesome.
I want to get some stuff off a phone but it's older, or at least older-style. It's a flip phone (because they're comfy and I don't use it for browsing much). The model is LGMS450.
It doesn't have a memory card slot, just a spot for a SIM card (and I don't have any SIM card readers, and I'm not sure if you can even put arbitrary data on one, this phone certainly doesn't seem to make that available).
It has options for sending pictures and video via e-mail (which I can't get to work), Bluetooth (don't have any Bluetooth devices),...

topkek
buy MVNO service for it and email the shit to yourself or get the USB drivers (assuming your cable is good).
Also, for sound files...

I was hoping it would use some mass storage protocol. I googled around some more after I posted and was pointed to stuff like what you were talking about on LG's site, I'm installing now.
want to replace my 7 years old acer 1080p monitor with something new
basically for internet, videos and little online gaming
what are useful features in current monitors?
>curved / flat
>ips / oled / TN
>1080 / 1440 / 4k
>glossy or not
any suggestion for a 24" or 27" monitor?
I just got two Asus PB258Q 25" IPS 2560x1440p monitors.
They have tiny ass bezels and look nice as fuck.
Saved $600 over getting the LG 34UC98 that I was considering, and I have more resolution this way (5120x1440 instead of 3440x1440)
imo curved only benefits 21:9 monitors. you probably shouldn't get one though, unless you also need a monitor for productivity.
don't get TN unless youre fucking Islamic extremist hardcore as a gamer. IPS is a good way to go, oled has a burn in issue and is too expensive.
for resolution, do anything but 4k.
24 inch wont benefit much from it but I guess its good with a 27
is any of this good?

Any of you fa/g/s know how to pin drives and folders etc to the area inside the red circle like you could in w10 beta.
You guys are official w10 forum afterall right?

You cant, that's where the most used/recently added items go.

Dunno but I can pin your mom against the wall in no time :)
What is /g/''s opinion on the tab a? Only $150, it looks very nice but all reviews have said it feels super cheap in the hands.
it feels cheap not because it's cheap but because of the samsung logo right there

Hey /g/, ive been using windows 7 and now the glorious botnet OS known as windows 10. Ive always wanted to learn about Linux and use it for the purpose of simply learning how to use and develop it.
I was thinking of starting off with arch Linux, but I'm not sure.
What I want is something that isn't Gentoo hard, but not too easy as well.
Ive had experience with moderate amounts of coding, although they're relatively fragmented.
>>53737415
I recommend Debian or Fedora, not as easy as Ubuntu but not too hard. Arch might be too much to start with.
Also >>flt
Installing an OS =/= developing.
It seriously doesn't matter what distro you use unless you're developing for the userland for that specific distro.
>>53737446
i'll take that into consideration. thanks anon
>>53737493
my goal is basically just heavily modify the os for me. so basically just modifying it isn't really developing?
I guess i'll need to reconsider this

Sup guys, I'm in the market for replacing my definitely aging Dell XT2.
I'll be traveling a lot in the foreseeable future, and doing a lot of photo editing, along with general computing, as this will be my main computer until I settle down. I'm looking for a laptop in the €900 range, preferably 13". I long for a decent built XPS13, but it's sadly way out of budget.
I got my eyes on this computer, which looks like it's using a Clevo chassis. Specs seems good (at least it fits my bill, and they seems pretty close to the XPS13), price is within...

This the same chassis?
Working well for me so far. Aluminum case is dented (but it was like that when I got it).

Why is adobe so evil? I wanted to buy Photoshop but apparently you can only rent Adobe products now for like $30 per month.

Sorry, I like being productive.
hey /g/, i found an LG nexus 4 for $60, with a broken (yet working) digitizer, it would cost me 5 bucks to fix.
should i get it ?
>>53740708
I'm still using my nexus 4. It does everything I need it to. Only reason to upgrade would be for a better camera.
>>53740708
>it would cost me 5 bucks to fix.
Really?
>>53740758
i have a real camera.
i won't really be using it to take pictures anyway.
mostly for gaming and shitposting while i take a dump.
>>53740762
yes, more or less.
fixing it is a pain in the ass tho. like every phone digitizer
What does /g/ think about learning code on Codecademy?
it focuses on making you feel like a special snowflake you writing "hello world" rather than showing you that you are actually a dumbass who isn't yet capable of making programs that anyone would use
essentially, you'll end up like this guy:

>>53738706
it's alright
I do agree with >>53738820 but it does teach you well (in some cases) if you avoid this pitfall. I learned HTML/CSS within a week from this site and continued to learn other languages. I would only recommend it as a redundancy for learning a language. It helps as another source
Its alright but it misses a lot of stuff and i couldnt finish the python course because they are too strict on you getting the syntax the EXACT way they want it to be even if doesn't matter. and the code u write in one lesson carries over to the next lesson, so if u get stuck ur fucked. which is annoying and dumb because its impossible to find out what ur doing wrong unless u search through forums or youtube like a savage.
I ditched my Google account but regularly watch a few channels on Youtube. What's the best way to find out if any of them have uploaded new videos without typing them in by hand? Aside from bookmarking their channels of course.
Pull down RSS feeds on the channel's Twitter pages.
