Are the people that make these bitter they didn't go to college and get a degree and get a job?
>>55227086
No. We're bitter that we have to work with people who have college degrees but still can't code worth shit.
>>55227126
This. I got an on campus job where code quality fucking mattered, I self document like a mofo (Clean Code by Robert C Martin is a fucking godsend)
I join groups for classes where they don't even know how to use git and use redefine variables, copy/paste code everywhere, horrible performance, 2 letter variable names. I fucking die it's horrible
What is /g/ currently working on/studying for professionally and as a side project/hobby? I personally find that I need two projects at one time even if I'm really interested in both I'll eventually get burnt out so if I switch to the other project I can still maintain max productivity.

Studying for the CCNP
>Hobby
Messing with Quagga for Loonux OSPF

flipping burgers, bagging groceries, and machining jet engine parts

So I have an old laptop that I really like. Its a Dell Inspiron 700m. It has a pentium m 780 CPU clocked (in theory)* at 2.26 GHz and 2 GB of RAM. The other day, I decided to play undertale on it. I wasn't sure if it would run on XP, but it did. Unfortunately, it just couldn't handle the graphics. It never actually crashed, but most of the "textures" (if you can call them that) were replaced with a white in full screen. Basically, if I run it full screen, I am moving a white box around on a white screen. If I don't play in full screen, I get most or...

Since the graphics is integrated, I know that upgrading that is out of the question. I have stripped this fucker down to the mobo twice, replaced the HDD twice, and upgraded almost every other component The only parts of this machine that are original are the display, the chassis, the heat sink/fan assembly, and the CD drive. Literally EVERYTHING else has been replaced or upgraded. (I only say this to reinforce the fact that a solution to my problem does not have to be practical or easy for it to be valid in my eyes)...

shorter version: I need to boost the graphics power of my 2004 laptop. No solution is to impractical or difficult. Dream big /g/, if you can cook up an idea, I can get it to work, no matter how ridiculous.
>>inb4 get a new laptop
I already have a really nice laptop that I already play undertale and other games on. It has a gtx 780m in it. I just want to try to use this one for the sake of doing it, not for practical reasons.
Feel free to post other ridiculous ideas,...

Real time ambient occlusion is a meme.
Why take a 20% performance hit when you can have baked and it looks better?
why stop there? why not just bake in all of the lighting?
>>55226544
Dynamic lighting.
>>55226624
>why stop there? why not just bake in all of the lighting?
>>55226689
High quality lighting is much easier to render than real time ambient occlusion, and it makes a huge difference in a scene.
Real time occlusion looks shitty and will tank performance. It is rare to need real occlusion either.

Any good color e-readers out there? I've heard mixed things- is the technology really stalled?
Has anyone ever made an e-reader based on the Ben-Day principle?
>>55226298
For those of you who don't know, most color e-readers either use 5 different colors of e-ink in each pixel, which results in faded color and a fuzzy image, or with color filters controlled by a chip over a monochrome display that consists of black and white electronics.
My idea is to use 4 different layers under each screen, each with only only color electron- white.
A black layer is on the bottom, and it's physically colored black, and the pixels with white e-ink electronsare either positively...

Wat?
Summer's here and I'd like to brush up my programming skills before going to college. I'm inclined to start reading SICP. It has great reputation, I've read some reviews, but I'd like to know what the real (1) /g/entoomen who've read it think about it.

>implying anybody on /g/ has read/has the ability to read a 600 page book
>>55226247
It's a good book. This book, and I guess Scheme/functional programming in general is great for learning about functions as first class objects, and about doing things recursively.
I'd recommend using the DrRacket IDE, but with R5RS (or similar) as the language instead of Racket.

Didn't read any of those books though.

As a pretty established audio engineer, it baffles me that those fuckers buy 'better' equipment to reproduce the music than it was originally even recorded with. Especially when it comes to one-point classical recordings.
>>55226229
It's a major delusion. The only way I can explain it is:
>hmm, i need something to feel superior and elitist about
>let's become an audiophile
Of course that doesn't fully explain how they can delude themselves and ignore all the scientific proof that they're experiencing placebo effects. Maybe they do realize that, but they're too far into it and admitting it would be an embarrassment.

Is listening to voice best for testing speakers?
