When was the last time you showed off your /g/ power level in real life?
I've gotten into arguments with my dad about free software vs proprietary software a couple of times, once even said the RMS pasta when he said Linux.

I'm taking CS50X in an in-person class and when I pass it I get a mobile dev apprenticeship. That's more /g/ than 99% of /g/ unless being /g/ is less about what you do and more about headphones and portable mp3 players that aren't phones

Had my auto blow 2 and Gear VR strapped on tight while I fingered my asshole as it was announced in 360°, trying desperately to eat shit from my hands
Posting from my s5 on the toilet which dual boots from my micro SD.
My ancient ass lumia 810 has a micro SD sled too. Not that special.
What linux distro just works, and isnt bloated?

So, C(++) aficionados here.
Look at this code:#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
int I = 3;
char C = '3';
if(I==C){
printf("Kek, Works!");
}else{
printf("Type-system surely doesn't completely suck, but why does this compile?");
}
return 0;
}
>> Type-system surely doesn't completely suck, but why does this compile?
Or do the C++ variant where you do std::cout stuff....

Your language is a shit
You're way to used to higher level languages, or just retarded
A char is just an 8-bit integer, now fuck off retard.
Should I learn C, C++ or python as my first programming language?
In my opinion, python is an easier c++
C. Knowing what stupid mistakes modern languages avoid for you is important. Get your hands dirty early
they're all good choices and it doesn't really matter. just start learning something instead of wasting time worrying about what's most optimal.
I'll just leave this right here.

>While the performance of the port is a bit of a let-down, especially taking in light the fact the other game on the same engine (albeit older version) is even able to run at a higher frame rate than on Windows, the port is really good over all. With emphasis put on the user experience, you don't have to spend a lot of time fiddling with settings to enjoy the game
>40% slower
>good port
Are those faggots serious?
>>53100369
freetards are desperate
I'd rather run on 40% performance than maintaining a second OS installation and having to reboot. Assuming I played games in the first place.
Do people seriously trust this garbage?
At least on Windows and even Mac, you can scan the files you download and install to see if it has Malware.
On Loonix, you are giving 100% faith in some random neckbeard to not serve you software with malware. Then you also have to trust them with being able to maintain a repo even though we've just seen how easily Loonix repos get compromised.
tl;dr neckbeards are not reliable with your security

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn...

A scan is only as useful as the tool that scans it is. So essentially you're relying on your anti-malware software to be up-to-date.
>On Loonix, you are giving 100% faith in some random neckbeard to not serve you software with malware.
If you're downloading proprietary software and give it root access, sure. That's why...

can we have a thread about vim, i just started learning C, i've been practicing my typistry for a while now because a programmer is really just a typist, and i've been practicing writing things like int main and #include really fast and (""); n stuff, and so i've started adding commands to my repertoire and seeing all that i could do with them, i'm reading programming in C and watching this video series with some indian guy, and also... i realize i have to learn vim as soon as i am writing programs that do anything interactive or useful, even in...

>a programmer is really just a typist
this is some next level bait
>>53099442
well i mean you learn the syntax right? but its not that fucking hard to learn that a certain word means a certain thing.
and you learn to use the words creatively, right? well pretty much you're smart enough to do that, or you're too stupid to program.
what is left? one skill without which you are crippled and can not walk the talk, and that is typing, and its something you have to learn by practice and repetition. i used to just freestyle type. 80wpm or so but next level errors. so...
