Say goodbye to opening multiple tabs at once with multi-process firefox and ANY ad blocker.
If you load more than 10 tabs at once then e10s will be much slower than non-e10s if you have adblocker installed. And by "much slower" I mean from 60% to 1800% slower.

So what future awaits you, with ads or without Danbooru?

Why not use some other fork?
So it will be about as fast as Chrome then.

>ublock still faster with twice the lists active
jesus fuck
This is really concerning besides that point. e10s might be more stable but slowing your browser down this much is not a good thing.

Thinkpad users, do you get any weird stares/remarks when using it in a public place?

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.

I bought a casio A164W, am I cool yet?
>>55150112
I think you are
I bought a Speedmaster a month ago. I love it so far. It's legible, not too thick, classy and sporty at the same time. Also keeps time fairly well.
Will probably sell my other two watches.
The Citizen has served me so well through the years , but it's too god damn big.
The Speedmaster is not small, but at least it doesn't feel or look big.

>int main()
>return 0
What did he mean by this?
>>55169829
He meant the program had finished successfully with no errors. Otherwise that program returned a non-zero value.
>>55169829
the function main expects a return value of type integer when it finishes execution. return 0 basically means everything happened as expected, and is a value that you can check to make sure it did. anything other than 0 probably means something bad happened.
>>55169829
Return 0 as the result to the calling program.

I'm taking a Python class right now and I'm pretty shit at it. I only have to take Python and Scripting (professor said its basically advanced Python) and I'm done with my CS requirements for my degree.
What are some good resources out there for tutorials and help etc? Yes I've tried google but I figured some people here actually know about this shit.
>>55169295
learn python the hard way is my go-to python tutorial. I'm not sure it can be beat.
If you need a friend, hop on freenode and join some programming-related channels. People are friendlier than you'd think.
