Also, you don't "switch" languages. You learn additional languages.

Goodlook learning networking,database programming,GUI ...etc in C++ were to make a window you gotta waste a week remembering the classes/functions etc..
Java is superior language when it comes to learning.
What computer(s) do you use for university?

Why couldn't the macbook handle that?
Pen and paper faggot.
What /g/ think about this podcast?
"gosh you cant knock anything Steve jobs did, he certainly... what ever he did it worked"
Also are there any good tech podcasts?
only thing from twit worth listening to is Security Now, even though he is constantly shilling spinrite
I enjoy it.
Just don't take it too seriously or expect Leo to to sound like a master of all things parroting your world view.
The techreport podcast is the only one that I didn't think was stupid.
Doesn't update very often (well it depends on how much stuff they've reviewed). Typically one is made once enough stuff is done to warrant one rather than on a schedule.
Which helps the quality.
I'm setting up a gateway for external access to some servers, I'm using all the normal stuff like disabling root, using fail2ban and rate limiting, but there's a bit of a debate about what port to use.
The question is whether to use 22 or some other random non-privileged port. The upside of using a non-privileged port is that it's harder to find, the downside is that a non-root user could listen to the port, or spoof an sshd (IMO this is a bit of a non-issue, since both require a malicious user to be on your system in the first place). Which choice...

Non-standard port reduces brute force traffic a lot.
At least make sure to use public key authentication and disable password authentication.
>>51731681
Asymmetric crypto > symmetric crypto, but that doesn't mean you should disable password authentication. Provided you use proper secure passwords, Fail2ban keeps a lot brute force attempts out. You can also extend your password authentication with 2FA by using a YubiKey (which uses OTPs). That way you either authenticate by using you public key, or your password+YubiKey.
>>51731656
Never ever change your ssh port number. The standard port requires root-level privs to listen to it, while high ports will make it possible for a malicious process to MITM your ssh connection. Use key auth, use fail2ban with default settings. You'll never get brute forced, it's literally impossible.

Why shouldn't I start learning Swift and using it? Seems like a better choice than C++ or Python right now.
>>51730631
>Seems like a better choice than C++ or Python right now
Why?
What the fuck is swift?
>>51730642
more jobs & better paying jobs. plus it's a compiled language and is as fast as C++ and doesn't have GIL like python.

There is no Stupid Q thread so I am making one.
Everyone is free to ask their stupid questions here.
I'll start:
Is there any point to getting a USB3 Flashdrive if none of my usb ports are usb 3? Everyone talks about usb3 on external hdds and flashdrives to be faster, but how could it be faster if both sides aren't usb3?
Is there any reason to give a shit about mobo chipsets if you're not overclocking?
>>51728718
USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0 but will only be as fast as 2.0 unless both ends are 3.0. Just get a 3.0 stick so it'll be faster when you upgrade.
Why.

Just picked up a t420 with a 1600x900 display, 9cell battery, and a 4200M Quadro, with 4 GB of ram (upgraded to 12 with a spare 8 GB stick) and a 320GB hard drive, which i upgraded to 1 tb. All of this for $95 off of e-bay. Feels great!

>1 TB HDD
I'd rather have a SSD.
