I've installed a legit copy of Visual Studio 2013, but when I try building a project, I get the following warning and error:warning MSB8003: Could not find WindowsSDKDir variable from the registry. TargetFrameWork or PlatformToolSet may be set to an invalid version number.error LNK1104: cannot open file 'kernel32.lib'
I found some older posts on SE that recommended to try repairing with the Visual Studio installer, but that didn't work. Now what the fuck do I do?

I want to get into writing apps. I don't want to do it to make money, I actually have a few apps in mind that I'd like to write simply because they don't exist and I want them to.
Problem is I can't code at all. I've done very basic coding in the past but have long forgotten it.
So where's the best place to start learning? Not just coding in general, but targeted towards apps.
>>51947948
Depends on set you are on learning it.
Google has made a nano degree in making apps for their android phones.

I might consider an xps 15 if Dell understood that there's maybe there's a chance somebody doesn't want a 4k screen but does want a single m.2 drive and the larger battery.

I'm a sophomore CS major, and I'm interested in getting involved with/contributing to emulator projects and such. Namely, things like the Citra emulator and what people like smealum do. I'm not entirely sure where to start. I've finished a few courses in computer structure and know my way around a bit of assembly.
Is this feasible at all, or do I need to know a significant amount more than I already do? Is this field more closely aligned with electrical engineering rather than computer science?
I'm mostly trying to pick up a hobby that's relevant to my studies and would be beneficial to others, but it's difficult to figure out since there's no "So You Want to Be the 1337 haxxor Emulator Guru" wikis anywhere.
Thanks.

Hello /g/ I want to ask you about ZIM file formats. Do you know what they are?
On the Android phone, there is an application called Kiwix that allows you to download the entirety of Wikipedia and view it offline.
The information comes packaged in ZIM file formats. So you can navigate through Wikipedia seamlessly and easily. No muss, no fuss.
I'm just wondering if it's possible to create ZIM archive files for other websites. It would be great to view certain websites offline.

I like that it's pretty easily upgradable, my main issue is that they only offer the larger battery on the more expensive versions. cheapest possibility results in me removing the HDD entirely, and replacing the m.2 with something else, and then I'm stuck with either an empty spot where a battery should be, or a future SSD upgrade slot which I have zero interest in ever using because I don't need terabytes of storage on a laptop.
If I was certain I could get one of the 86whr batteries and it would fit as long as I didn't have a hdd installed, I'd consider it again. I really want to get it, but honestly I want to call dell and just ask them to forget the fucking battery and drives and just let me do that part myself because they apparently have no idea what they're doing.
>>51948056
And ram, they fucked that up to desu.
... Do you think dell will just send me a barebones xps 15 with a 1080 screen and the larger battery? I'd shill them forever if they did.
>>51948132
Not unless youre a company buying. And if you were, they'd give you more options so it wouldnt be needed in the first place.

I have a question. my brother has close to no expendable income and im trying to build a PC for him. he currently has a ABIT IP35-E LGA 775 mobo with a (I think) C2D E6400 with 4 gigs of ram and a piece of shit Nvidia card (I -think- it's a GTX430).
Now, im thinking of getting him a q6600 and a new graphics card, but im not sure how well that processor would a) work with the mobo and b) work with his 400 watt PSU (which is a shitty brand so probably more like 350w). also I don't know what gfx card to get. Im guessing it would have to be powered by the mobo itself without any external power needed because the PSU is quite weak. would a 8800 be decent enough to play newish games on low-medium on 720p? he doesn't have a 1080p monitor anyway.
any ideas, /g/entoomen?
oh, all of the parts should be as cheap as possible (read: 20-30$ per part).
tl;dr - what is the best CPU+GPU combo for 60-70$ and will run on a shitty 400w PSU?
thanks.

i have a bunch of scanned papers in pdf format (each file 40~50 pages, and 11 pdf files; totaling ~600 pgs) merged into one big pdf file but the problem is that it ends up around 270 mb. i want to reduce them to around 10 mb (basically ebook size). how do i achieve this? do i have to compress the source files and merge them (which what i got from googling) or is there some other way?

I've got a problem concerning the wireless device in my laptop (Dell Inspiron 5521). The problem is that sometimes nothing will recognize its existance (windows, ubuntu, or the BIOS/self diagnostic tool). The only solution so far is time (i.e. turn off the machine and wait several hours). I've tried everything except removing the cmos. Thus my question is, will removing the cmos solve this problem?

right, i knew i forgot something. not in america so i can't really specify price, any newegg sales won't help me either.
i can add that i've been considering evga g2 750, that would more or less be in my budget, was thinking if i could get something better for similar price or not really worse but cheaper.
750 because i can't find 650 anywhere where i live and it's not that much more expensive than 550, so feels like a waste getting 550.

Is the a better way to search tabs/notes in notepad++?
I have like 50 different notes on notepad++ and ctrl+tab brings up that small menu which is a joke to navigate through. Something like a tree of where files are coming from would be great. So I can see the file names and go to them.
I'm looking for a new text editor on linux, I just can't get used to vim and emacs is too bloated. I would go back to gedit but I don't want to install any of the other gnome stuff. also don't want sublime text. how about atom? would that run smoothly on a thinkpad x301?

Good. I'm already learning C, but I was having doubts about learning it first. Would it be a good idea to learn C first and then move on to Java? Also, may I ask why C is a good language to pair with Java in order to develop application software?

I'm talking about it in the context of user friendliness. It's not a good distro for a Linux beginner.

>>51956234
C first, then Java.
You can embed C inside java for performance essential sections. Java isn't always the best at memory management and loops can be a bit dickish.
You can even embed assembly if required, although that can be tricky if you need it to be cross platform.

Gotcha.
I also imagine that learning C first is good for learning purposes, as subsequent languages will come easier.
>>51956306
Ruby looks good tbf. I'd rather learn Ruby than Python.
>>51956381
If you really want to start with something for learning purposes, you should start with lisp.
Probably common lisp, or clojure.

>>51956413
Not learning purposes per se. I don't want to learn how to program with stabiliser wheels. I'm a full immersion therapy believer.
I meant that learning C first is good because it brings with it a large breadth of information and knowledge.
>>51956451
Information and knowledge are great and all, but lisp is more like learning how to ride a unicycle. It's a completely different way of thinking that gets you prepared to write highly efficient and elegant code.
C teaches you how to write code in a way that a computer can understand it, but Lisp teaches you how to adapt your thinking patterns to the problems that you come up against.
>>51956484
Interesting.
Would you say learning Lisp is generally easier and more forgiving? I want to make sure the first language I learn also teaches me discipline and shapes my way of thinking to approach problems in the most holistic way possible.
>>51956555
I would say that learning C is easier as it's completely logical and simple to follow.
Learning lisp is hard to explain. A lisp expert is more like a guru than a programmer.
>>51956601
I think I'll compromise and go with C.
I feel like learning a lower level language is a better approach than an OOP language, but I also don't want to scare myself away or frustrate myself with something too complex. Maybe after a few more weeks of C, I'll have a look at Lisp and see how it looks then.
>>51956704
Lisp isn't OO, and it isn't complex.
Lisp is in fact one of the simplest forms of programming there is, but the simplicity of the language forces you to create your own high level abstractions out of the few structures you are given.
It's hard, and frustrating, but far more rewarding than C will ever be.
livestreams with mpv lag and all firefox videos regardless quality lag and have audio sync issues. hardware is 3GB RAM (only 900 gets used streaming), GM45 mobile intel GPU, and an Intel Mobile Celeron 900 CPU... but CPU only goes up to about 70% (stays at less) when streaming, and 40% watching firefox videos. what could be the issue, CPU or software? because laptop can play 1080p videos (that aren't livestreams) effortlessly over mpv and in chromium.

You can install 14.04 by booting it from ISO on disk using the -toram option in grub, then unmounting the HDD and installing from the live environment in memory.
There's instructions on how to do this on the ubuntu wiki.
Doesn't work for 15.04 I'm afraid. They broke something.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot/Examplesmenuentry 'ISO 14.04 ' {
set isofile="/iso/ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,1)$isofile
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz.efi boot=casper iso-scan/filename=$isofile noprompt noeject toram
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}
add that to your /etc/grub.d/40_custom, run update-grub, and you should be ready to rock
after you are booted in, unmount your hard drive partitions and you should be ready to rock.
Just make sure you have at least 4GB of RAM installed, and you configure swap before starting the install. It's OK to have the swap partition mounted while installing.
>>51957075
Deluge. Looks ugly but works so well.
>>51957105
Oh, I forgot to mention, set isofile="/iso/ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso" needs to point to the ISO in disk partition 1. change (hd0,1) to (hd0,X) where X is the partition you put the ISO. There's more info on the page.
