What is the best API or framework for beginning vidya programming, and why is it XNA/Monogame?
It doesn't provide a ready-made rendering engine with too many ready-made data structures and whatnot, but isn't low-level enough that you have to constantly worry about low-level implementation issues as you try to learn the necessary 3D math, and using C# over C++ means (as far as I understand) generally cleaner code with no need to think about memory management, not even RAII.
Later on, one can mess around with graphics APIs proper and learn how to deal...

How can I discover new open-source programs for my GNU/Linux, beside APT SEARCH? I would like some programs that I couldn't find there...
I was trying to get rid of some bloat on KDE through Discover (games, duplicate applications, etc.) and when I rebooted, I got the black screen. I was able to save myself by usingsudo apt-get install kde-full. What's a better way to get rid of bloat?

What is the most money you've wasted on a computer?
Well when I was a teenager I got the wrong RAM and was too upset to get a refund.
Still have it kicking around, just unused.
Everything else I use so it's not wasted at all.
bought 2 power bricks for my old laptop thinking the batteries werent holding a charge and fucking with the a/c and power jack
found out the power jack was fucked because the prong inside was bent
Not mad, just a little dissapointed in myself back then
spent 5000+ on a mac pro and cinema display before I got woke.

I can program full stack but fuck me if I can think of a good idea.

Yes.
Why can't you think of any ideas? There are millions of them.

/hsg/ - Because fuck you edition.
What would you use a home server for? /g/ answer - Fuck you!. Simple answer - For whatever you want.
From media to development to virtualization, options abound.
Power - Any server DDR2 based is going to be power hungry. Any multi-socket Intel system is FBDIMM
based. Anything else is ECC. With DDR3 based units coming off 2nd lease, anything DDR2 should be
avoided.

If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", ultraportable

Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

Hey guys, I'm looking for the best laptop under $250, shipping included. I only browse the internet, set up powerpoints and watch movies and I don't want to turn on the desktop for that simple shit every time.
I'm looking for a laptop that can handle those basic duties and some games like FTL, Starbound, Nuclear Throne or Minecraft to pass time when on the bus or...

>How shit would link related be
You already know how shit its going to be. You already know how bad the keyboard is, and how bad the build quality is going to be.
But you are going to buy it regardless of what anyone tells you.
>>55295338
Jesus fucking Christ, what an abomination. Kill it with fire. Also, where is the god damn clit mouse? Get an used x200 with a SSD and never look back. Those lower quality "ThinkPads" are made by Satan himself to make fun of the retards.

Can you guys tell me what's good then? I want a new one though.
I'm looking to buy an HDMI switch, since I have 5 consoles sitting on my desk. However, I've seen some that advertise "4k compatible at 30fps/30hz".
That kind of raises a concern for me. Shouldn't all HDMI switches support 4k anyways? They mention 30fps at 4K, but they don't mention frame rate at 1080p. Is 60fps at 1080p supposed to be assumed?
4k at 30fps means HDMI 1.4.
Go look up what that means.
>>55295071
Interesting. From what I'm seeing, HDMI 1.4 maxes out at 24fps at 4K. While HDMI 2 is deliver 60fps 4K. I swear I've come across HDMI 2.2 and 2.4 earlier today, unless I'm mistaken. I've also seen a bunch of other terms I'm not familiar with, such as HDCP and DDWG. I'm gonna need a glossary by the end of this.
I would assume 1080p runs at 60 fps through these but I would check the exact specifications of what you are going to buy before purchasing.
I bought a similar switch and I notice no drop in fps/hz at 1080p.

At this rate, this phone will last at least another year and with Android N around the corner, why buy a new phone? Why?
Shakespeare wrote texts about 0.1 M lines of in his life long. Linux kernel already over 20M lines and its speed still increasing.
20M lines of codes are not a human readable amount. I think we need a program to read very long code.
They're called computers.
>>55294722
Nah, just need less bloat.
You don't need to read every line.
"I play at 1080p maxed settings, it looks very nice"
"Lel fegut, I play at 1440p on low. More pixels = better"
Why do people choose to barely play at a higher resolution when it looks like eye trash?
>>55294598
Can you quote the time and place where you saw these comments? Or is this a strawman of your own creation?
>>55294598
Might as well play at 1280x720 if you feel that way, anon.
What you're really saying is that you're too poor to have upgraded from 1920x1080@60hz to 2560x1440@120/144hz.
No point in going up to 4k until GPU's can handle it better, but 1440p is a fucking sweet spot upgrade with 77% more pixels.

I have shit motor skills, when I first built my PC several years ago it took me three tries to seat my heatsink without bubbles.
I think I'm gonna ask my friend to reseat my heatsink and blow the dust out while they're at it, would you consider $30 a fair exchange?
>reseat my heatsink
Does this include replacing the thermal paste?
>blow out dust
Is he using his own compressed air or something like a vacuum?
>>55294509
You realize that many heatsinks do not even need thermal paste? it's enough that the 2 pieces of metal are touching. Don't worry about bubbles.
You dumb bastard
>>55294584
Yes, I'd supply all needed stuff tho.
