How would you write a program to solve this maze without simply following a wall until you reach the end?
metaheuiristic and stats maybe.
Put OP's image into paint and use the bucket tool to fill the gaps. Post the time it takes to complete.

cut it into a grid of multiple pieces, find the longest contiguous lines of white from one edge of the piece to the other edge and then attempt to connect those edges on the other pieces
Hey /g/. Post your ham stuffs here. Post your ham questions here. You know how these general threads work.
I just got a Kenwood TS-820S. Just got to get the thing grounded and hang up a dipole.

Ham is kill. WW3 is a lie, like cake.

what are you trying to show me? the room looks too artsy to be considered a serious work environment to me I guess

while you were practicing fizzbuzz in 8 hipster languages these guys were working on an app that will sell for millions
I am a computer engineering major working on embedded systems (C++ on ARM) and involved in the hiring process in my company.
If there is anything indicating that you have been trying to get more people to our field by teaching programming at high schools, coding bootcamps or you went around to middle/high schools to tell how nice you work is I WILL NOT HIRE YOU.
Our field is over saturated. We don't need more people and lower wages.

Pretending it's not some dumb HR milf deciding your next colleague.
why are you so insecure?

Thats a FPGA my nigga not an ARM board.
Whats the best modern mobile OS and why?
Sailfish because it's already using a next-gen filesystem, init system, display server and design language.

What chair does /g/ use?
>>47688354
I worked with a guy that used one of those, keyword "worked", he didn't last too long
>>47688354
Bayside Metro Mesh Office Chair. One of the best $99.99 I've spent on a chair.
Replaced a $350 high-back Ergonomic task chair from a local office supply boutique store. I was hesitant when I saw this one but decided to take the chance. I've had it for 2 years now and it's been great. I'm 190 lbs. It's comfortable and doesn't heat up especially in the summer.
It doesn't conceal farts though.
>chairs
Are these any good or just placebo shit?
Placebo
Or in pale moon's case, actively worse
>>47692035
Pale Moon is quite good, and now ublock works on it.
Waterfox is placebo.

They are all shit, there is no good browsers right now.

Continuation of legacy computer hardware.
Bonus points for something you were jizzing over as a kid they no longer make!
Discuss cool technology trends of the past. Things that caught on, things that never did.

Dont see that often.
Yeah I unfortunately didn't keep around my really old stuff like my geforce 4 ti 4600. It was same type as pictured.
Someone had an amazing collection the other day in here with boxes and all of all these awesome old processors and videocards.

Can someone explain to me why anyone would give a fuck how much a laptop weighs, why it's such a big selling point, and why people with throw literally hundreds of dollars after it?
I don't understand this obsession with lightness and slimness at all. Are people really so frail, and their bags so small that they cannot possible carry something 200g heavier or 1/4 of an inch thicker?
I don't get it.
>>47687027
The fact that Apple are often the ones pioneering this shit tells you everything you need to know.
>Stuff you carry
>Why does weight matter
Of course, as long as it weights less than 1kg pretty much any weight is good. Consumers mostly care about numbers. Just look at how many people have quad core cpus without ever running a single application that needs them.
>>47687027
>Can someone explain to me why anyone would give a fuck how much a laptop weighs,
You're supposed to be able to carry your laptop around with you, it is the entire point of them. A mobile computer.
The easier it is to carry around, the more valuable it is as a mobile computer.
Couldn't see one.
I just acquired a free Dell Optiplex 745 which is made of dust. Waiting on a WiFi adapter, compressed air and thermal paste.
No new picture because it's basically the same.
Hello there
A bit outdated but still pretty much the same. I removed left monitor and replaced middle one with UHD one

Modern Binary Exploitation
Course Description
>Cybersecurity is one of the fastest growing fields in computer science, though its study is rarely covered in academia due to its rapid pace of development and its technical specificity. Modern Binary Exploitation will focus on teaching practical offensive security skills in binary exploitation and reverse engineering. Through a combination of interactive lectures, hands on labs, and guest speakers from industry, the course will offer students a rare opportunity to explore some of the most technically involved and fascinating subjects in the rapidly evolving field of security.
>The course will start off by covering basic x86 reverse engineering, vulnerability analysis, and classical forms of Linuxbased userland binary exploitation. It will then transition into protections found on modern systems (Canaries, DEP, ASLR, RELRO, Fortify Source, etc) and the techniques used to defeat them. Time permitting, the course will also cover other subjects in exploitation including kernelland and Windows based exploitation.
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will:
>1. Possess the skills necessary to carry out independent vulnerability research against binary applications.
>2. Have an intimate understanding of executable formats, program control flow at the assembly level, and other low level concepts.
>3. Understand classic and contemporary vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques.
>4. Apply both source code auditing and binary reverse engineering to the vulnerability discovery process.
>5. Be capable of exploiting vulnerabilities found in real world software as defined by MITRE’s Critical Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) system.
PS.: WARZONES WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER THE END OF THE COURSE.
THERE ARE NO VIDEOS, ONLY LECTURES, CHALLENGES, LABS AND LATER, WARZONES.
Let's do this.

nice choice of pic for OP
Gear VR may be limited in content but it is still fucking amazing, and it just makes me more excited for all the other VR products coming out in the future. Which VR mask is /g/ waiting for???
>>47691752
Anything that is well reviewed when it comes out. Other than that, I am expecting the Gear VR 3 non-innovator edition to be quite good, in addition to CV1 and Vive. I'm also interested in seeing where OSVR goes, especially now that Wearality might partner with them to provide high FoV lenses.
>>47692077
Yeah right now, it's whoever can offer a 4k screen
>>47692223
I'm not worrying too much about resolution to be honest. We've already seen that the Gear VR 2 has a near perfect resolution that can satisfy nearly everyone. The consumer products, probably from any company that comes out in winter, or 2016, will have better displays anyway.
