Why is this considered special? Shouldn't it be in the same league as reading, writing, arithmetic, and taking a shit in a toilet?
If it was (and it will be), the world would be a better place.

people are generally perplexed by how a computer works. to most consumers, a computer is a black box that they were thoroughly convinced they needed, either because their old computer was slow, they felt out of the loop when they didn't have one, or because it was sold to them as something premium.
the idea of using a computer without structures made by a remote, paid, and uninspired designer is a very alien idea to the majority of computer programmers, and completely unheard of by the average consumer...

Compare these two images. Which would you prefer?
The one on the right is higher res but you notice a lot of ringing. The other one blurs it out better, but isn't as sharp.
This isn't really a personal question about me, just curious as to whether you guys find a blurry lower-res RIP more appealing than one with ringing up the ass.
>>51837817
Right, Left is janky as hell.
Right.

they're both shit

Hi /g/ I want to install Arch, I'm trying to go for ultra minimalist but not when it would interfere with speedier workflow. To save me the hassle of reinstalling, I'd rather ask you guys in advance.
So far I have the following in mind:
i3 WM
cmus
firefox+vimperator
gpic view
ranger
are the default fonts fine these days?
Also general Arch thread.
so if you get mc instead of ranger by accident you will reinstall
>>51837582
yes, so before I even install it I'm asking you guys.
fonts are ok

jesus christ ive been trying to get openvpn working on digitalocean vps for 2 days now, ive watched a load of different vids and no matter what i end up with this when trying to go to the admin panel
I made a new ubuntu 14 server like he said in this vid
did
wget http://swupdate.openvpn.org/as/openvpn-as-2.0.21-Ubuntu14.amd_64.deb
dpkg -i openvpn-as-2.0.21-Ubuntu14.amd_64.deb
then it tells me to go to https://5.101.100.60:943/admin
and i just get connection refused. tried this legit 5 diff times with diff vid each time, what is going wrong
Lol seriously? Check your ports fool.
>>51837561
also do it through a VPN
>>51837561
wot about them, i dont know shit about any of this, all the vids ive watched they just do those 2 commands and the web pannel works perfectly
friendly reminder that you don't need gnu/linux to do your fizzbuzz tier project in C.
>>51837513
This is not new information.
Also, your function has a return type of int yet does not return anything.
You're also using printf when you're not printing formatted data.
There's no need to run an ide for such a simple program.

>There's no need to run an ide for such a simple program
so what? it's not like computers care if they are used or not.
>>51837603
It just seems cumbersome when you're clearly not even making use of any of the features the IDE offers over a simpler text editor + a compiler. Especially since you've created a whole new project with one file.

I've never used this new captcha before, whats the deal with the fucking captcha? I looked it up, sn't it supposed to be 1 click and your'e done, only asking you to click images if "you're a bot".
I'm not a bot so why do I have to click images every single time?
This is shit.
BUMPING. NEED ANSWERS.
>>51837461
Get a new pass. Stop training the Google botnet.
Set them to old-style captchas

Studying NVidia's Thrust library code atm.

In the section I'm in atm, it's filled with stuff like thistemplate <typename ForwardIterator, typename T, typename StrictWeakOrdering>
bool binary_search(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, const T &value,
StrictWeakOrdering comp) {
using thrust::system::detail::generic::select_system;
typedef typename thrust::iterator_system<ForwardIterator>::type System;

So, i'm trying to build a system that'll last me (well, as long as possible, really!)
i have chosen the following poorfag items -
CPU - Intel Core i5 4460 quad-core (with stock fan)
Motherboard - MSI H81M-P33
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3
HDD - Seagate ST1000DM003 1TB 7200rpm
Literally 10$ keyboard-mouse combo
Will it do the shitposting easily and for long?
Do i need anything else?
Should i replace any (and all) items with better value-for-money items?
I have got money, but i don't really want a GT980ti cause...

I just want something that'll take basic muh-animu playing video software for the next 7-8 years. and hopefully any OS of 2020.
the price range for replacing items is +/- 10% of what the items i've posted in OP cost.
A PSU and a case would be something you didn't list.
Why not a pentium dualcore cpu?
If I want to learn malware analysis is learning c a good place to start? From what ive read you need to know assembly and c seems to be a prereq. Cheers

So I learned Java in 11th grade from an ap comp sci class. We went up until recursion and I did fairly well in the course. Now I'm a freshmen at community college with a fuckload of free time on my hands (literally like 0 friends, unemployed) just waiting to do my GE's so I can transfer and leave this abysmal shit hole. In the meantime, what's a good way to continue my programming ventures from where I left off? I think the next step was gonna be binary tree, lists, etc. Any suggestions as to where I should start? I'm not gonna take any CS courses at my CC...

Yes, data structures are definitely the next step if you're already comfortable with the language's syntax.
Udacity.com has great programming courses and they are free if you push the blue "access course materials" button when enrolling. They have all sorts of cs classes from beginner to advanced and they are challenging and you really learn a lot. If you get stuck you can look at the answer. It's great
>>51837016
Google "learn C the hard way " and do it in your spare time. Do it not so much to learn C itself for the sake of learning C, but to give you a view of how a computer works and all the shit that modern langs hide from you (with a cost).
Read up on data structures and which types of problems can be solved by which types efficiently.
Don't concern yourself with the "which language is best" memo here on /g/.
Hey, so I've been looking at laptops recently, I just need something for the occasional media/browsing on the go. I'll just toss a Linux dis on whatever I end up getting. However I'd like it to be as light and portable as possible. Is a MacBook Air that stupid of an idea? Those are not that expensive used and I can't seem to find anything else cheap and ultralight

This. I've also seen a couple of Asus ones that didn't look shabby.
