Is there any reason for me to learn the assembly programming language?
Intellectual curiosity.

optimizing for chips that dont have very good compilers
Sometimes, helps debugging and profiling
Well, especially profiling
Do you store shit in your computer?
I mean, having a lot of files saved that you wont need.
Or do you deleted them time by time?
My OCD is fucking with me regarding stuff saved in my computer. I want to know how do you manage your files, and if you keep them in order, if you keep the minimum possible, or how you do it.

I only have a 256gb M2 SSD on my computer. I have a 4tb NAS running on an old machine where I dump all my crap.

On Windows 10
So badly
Two drives, SSD for the boot drive and everything stored on 1TB HDD

Protip: 99% of people don't use any software they touch anywhere near its full potential.
I don't even see people fucking configure their windows taskbars halfway decently.
But here's your (You) for your shitty b8 thread.
I use vim and I have sex sometimes
I have a thing for older top of the line cpu's and gpu's.
Am I crazy for wanting SLI 590's? $275 on ebay. Will be paired up with an Athlon II x4 651K which was top of the line cpu for the FM1 board.
This won't be me primary computer btw.
I once wanted an old 8800 and use it as a dedicated physx card just for the novelty.
>>53286748
Used GPU's are probably a bad buy.
Assume that some teenager tried to mine bitcoins 24/7 on them when not taxing the shit out of them gaming.
>>53286785
This isn't my first rodeo buying used, that's pretty much all I buy anymore.
>tfw fell for the 16 GiB RAM meme
I know right, having anything less than 32GB is terrible.
>>53286189
It's a waste of money
>>53286205
I get you man. If you have less than 32GB you might as well just not have a computer. Use that money for a gun to kill yourself with.
Why do you hate bubble sort so?
Why is it called bubble sort when it's not able to sort bubbles.
>>53285446
because you play video games instead of learning a useful science that can bring insight into your life, or a trade that can yield monetary gain.
O(n^2) now fuck off
How do you make up your passwords ?
I've been threatened for some bullshit and even though i'm safe I want to get a step safer cuz I'm a paranoid autist. I'm willing to change every password's account I have and take the risk to forget a lot of them
> generate passwords ?
> should I make them too long or too complex/random ?
> Shoud I write them down or save them anywhere like a note in my phone or is it stupid ?
What are your opinions on this ?

I just told you I'm paranoid, you'll probably get "hacked" by a 12 year old.

Since we live in a day and age where login servers take measures against brute-forcing (enter password wrong X amount of times, get locked out for Y amount of time, email notification gets sent to Z address), security firms are now teaching businesses the practice of using and maintaining a Password Index. It works like this:
[Base_Word][Add_Word]
The base word is used in every password. The add word changes from account to account. For example:
apple123Gmail
In the above, "apple123"...

Why C is sucks?
???
>>53285332
int array[] = {1, 2, 3, ,4 , 5, 6};
printf("%d", sizeof(array));
output: 4
why not 24 ??!
>>53285384
because the name of an array is a pointer to its first element. array[subscrupt] is just some syntactic sugar for pointer arithmetic. Memory management is your responsibility in C, the compiler doesn't keep track of how much you have, and its your responsibility to free it when you're done.

Why Linux have to be this way.
Why don't you fix it yourself?
fucking freetard commie
They're usually two years old because there are alternatives.
Yes I took the bait.
>>53284818
>Why don't you fix it yourself?
Because nobody has the time to figure out a gigantic existing codebase with all its intricacies, designs, practices, side-effects and expectations of specific bits of code, whether some code just works because of defaults that become invalid when you change other stuff, etc
If it was this easy, being a programmer wouldn't be a job, anon, it'd just be a basic skill even your grandma would have.
I want to start learning to code. What languages and resources should I start with?
Imma bump you and save your pic. Good luck

Former Florida Disney employee Leo Ferrero, testifying before the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and The National Interest subcommittee, details how, not long after receiving a glowing performance review from his employer, he learned he was losing his job to a foreign worker on an H-1B visa who he would be required to train. While there is a bipartisan effort in Congress to end H-1B visa abuse, there are also efforts to dramatically expand the H-1B program without providing real protections for American workers. For example, the 2013 Senate ‘Gang of Eight’ bill would...

United States Of Poo In The Loo
Great going, guys.
the indians are humilated too imo. imagine being a cheap piece of shit simply because of where you were born
> Expecting companies to overpay some white unionized schmuck when they can bring over a poo in the loo or mexican for a tiny fraction of the cost
Okay, only because I've been fucking asking for 3 days, with no response, I'm forced to make my own thread about it.
The Z5(c) gets recommended a lot on /g/ so I figure a sizable number of you people have it.
I'm assuming at least SOME of you are American and have the US version which came out recently. My questions:
1.) How are you liking it so far?
2.) Anyone here a US customer with the US version of the phone?
3.) Does the phone have that blurring on the edges of photos due to the camera being off-set like the international...

Does anybody even own a Z5?

Why are ARM processors so much cheaper than X86/X64 processors?
ARM processors have pretty much caught up with way more expensive X86/X64 processors for general computing needs.
Because the architecture.
>>53282546
Because Intel marks their chips up by like 500%
>>53282546
what is the difference between ARM and x86 anyway?
Why are modern operating systems so bloated?
Fedora 23 uses about 4 GB RAM to have open Firefox, one terminal emulator, and Dropbox
There's more resources to use and unused ram == wasted ram. You could try arch/debian with a WM.

Debian uses over a gig just for Spotify

Thinking about leaving community college to be a gym teacher to go to technical school to be an electrician or hvac person. What do you guys think? i am sick of the liberal arts shit in the general ed courses of community college.
If you can, try to get into the apprenticeship for electrical linemen. Go to community college and get your class A CDL, and then apply as a driver/groundman for your local utility through the union hall. Being in the union and having a class A license will put you above 90% of the rest of the candidates.
Being a lineman is hard work but the pay and benefits are fucking awesome and you get to work with some bad ass technolo/g/y.
No shit, if you get in as an apprentice when you're in your early 20's, you'll be able to retire a literal millionaire...

There's a reason you have to take those courses along with the le ebin stem major i fucking love science classes you signed up for and it's because you aren't a complete human being yet. Suck it up and learn something.
