Let's define tasks that would be meaningful challange for /g/entoomen.
Programming and projects that would without a doubt earn respect on /g/.
Challanges should be hard.
>>
Install GNU+Gentoo
>>
Use a single atmega328 to control an entire house from lighting , watering the garden to voice controlling every single appliance in the room without the addition of extra micro processors or i2c components.

>Challanges should be hard.
make an 8 bit cpu from 7400 series logic chips.

its hard, but not impossible.

good luck
>>
>>54826788
This can be challange 0 for start, but it's not that hard, you just have to follow the handbook.

>>54826804
This fucking shit is awesome. Well done, Anon. That's what I'm talking about here.
>>
>>54826764

Project #1: actually install gentoo.

>>54826880
I will really make a list. This is the third challange.
>>
>>54826885
The problem with that is that it is impossible to do so.
An atmega328 doesn't have GPIO ports for it without adding 3 tons of i2c controlers to it.
>>
>>54826764
lose your virginity

>>54826936
Then let's make it so that you can use only atmega328 and a ton of i2c controllers. Not 3 tons. Just one ton.

>>54826946
Make it /g/ related and make it hard. It's easy to go to a hooker and buy the challange
>>
>>54826959
Oh please.
You can't even fizzbuzz in assembly you pussy.

Meh but that'd be boring though.
>>
Install gentoo... in your brain!
>>
>>54826982
Fizzbuzz in assembly. Another challange. It's going nice so far. Or is it too easy?
>>
>>54826993
Then think about some improvement to that challange. I'm not an EE, I have no idea what's a challange hardware-wise. Maybe this and make the installation hidden well enough in the house?
>>
>>54826997
What architecture?
>>
>>54827041
Which one is the hardest to program for?
Hell, why not make a challange where you have to write a fizzbuzz in a hex editor without using assembly, just machine code? You'd have to craft ELF file by hand and shit.
>>
>>54826967
>It's easy to go to a hooker and buy the challange

Great. Now some /g/tard is going to pickup an actual hooker and ask her to gentoo.
>>
>>54827061
Isn't making a hooker install gentoo a challange?
I think it is. I'm adding it to a list.
>>
>>54826987
But it is without i2c and without extra storage it is.

>>54827023
Thats easy as fuck.
> Crack the wall open stick cables patch it up again.
If it's a brick wall even better.
>Break 1 single brick
>Stick a Eletrical junction box innit
>Pass tubing in it
>Pass cables
Done.

>>54827041
x86 , mips and ARM with a dedicated MIPS coprocessor.
>>
>>54826804
Relays, transistors and other discrete components allowed?
And how do you even voice control using an atmega? Shits impossible mate, except if by voice controlled you been random noise controlled
>>
>>54827198
Discrete components are allowed.
However the rule of thumbs would be no premade shit allowed (other then the relay boards and mechanical parts).
>>
Bring /g/ down
>>
>>54826959
Actually EE fags can fizzbuzz.
>>
>>54827198
And it is possible.
You'd have to make a board for it and only use a very small specific set of keywords ( not real voice recognition just similar sound patterns)
>>
>>54827198
>>54827232
I like where this is going.

>>54827240
Yes, this can be a challange, but hard to verify if it was anon or just server down.
>>
>>54827288
I wouldn't actually do it, illegal shyte
>>
>>54827309
Maybe let's instead make a hackme server just for this challange? But it should be insanely hard to deface it. Basically 0-day hard.
>>
/g/ programming project "respect" consists mainly of your ability to make the most over psuedo complicated hello world. However if you actually accomplish this, they would hate you anyway because you are so in their territory and they are reminded that they dropped out of college to pursue their tilingwm rice. You are 100% wasting your time.
>>
>>54827262
Ah so by voice controlled you mean like the atmega stores in the data for some specific words in its EPROM, then compared them to the data it gets from the ADC attached to a microphone. Then it sort of calculates the error between the data it has and the data it gets from the ADC and if the error is small enough, it calls a specific subroutine.

That would require quite a bit of RAM but I suppose it would be possible. Holy shit why didn't I think of this, this is pretty cool.
>>
>>54827341
Then I would like to have a challange that would make them hate me with the power of 10000 suns. That would be fun, don't you agree?
>>
>>54827380
It's kinda basic though, but i'd sudgest making a small addon board with a shitty microcontroler ( I never said you couldn't use more micros I just said they couldn't control the house features).
>>
>>54826764
fizzbuzz in python
>>
Solving unsolved HAKMEM problems in PD-10 assembly should be a good challenge.
>>
>>54827417
Python in Fizzbuzz. You have three sets of python instructions, each corresponding to "fizz", "buzz" and "fizzbuzz" (sum of two sets). Then you have to write a python script that does something useful using instructions from the sets corresponding to sequence generated by fizzbuzz.
>>
>>54827448
I didn't know about HAKMEM, thanks for telling me about this.
Seems like a definitely interesting challange.
>>
Install a Linux distro without experiencing driver issues.
>>
Why does that dyke think she can be a DJ?
>>
>>54827515
Not funny anymore, man. Zero challange, easy as fuck.

>>54827528
What's challanging in being a DJ?
>>
>>54826880
>make an 8 bit cpu from 7400 series logic chips.
>its hard, but not impossible.
It's an undergrad level class at MIT. First you build basic logic families, then you build a micro out of 7400LS, then you write a multitasking OS for it. One term, usually taken by sophomores.

Create a text input box using only SDL. Just did it. it was pretty fun

Not hard enough, this is a good exercise, but anyone can do it learning SDL enough.

*PDP-10
>>
>>54827673
Yeah I got mine to do selecting and copy/pasting which was a pain.
>>
>>54827747
I'm not saying it's easy either, but here we're looking for overkill challanges that will make /g/'s boipuccy wet. We're looking for challanges so hardcore, that people will say "This has to be someone from /g/ that made it".
>>
>>54827816
undercutting an Indian on a freelance software job AND finishing it.
>>
>>54827889
That's not hard from a technological point of view, but I'd still add it to the list lol
>>
>>54827816
Oh alright, makes sense. Build a 3d game engine then?
>>
I just noticed you've been misspelling challenge in all your posts.
>>
>>54827570
did you do it ?
>>
>>54827929
Too generic, there has to be something about that 3D game engine that destroys the shit out of best known engines lik UE4, Crytek and shit.
>>
>>54828012
you could make an AI like Tay, Microsoft slut who turned into a meme spouting bitch.
>>
>>54828044
Was it impressive? I think we don't even know if the AI was any good since they took her down. Besides, did she fool anyone for being a human? Did anyone test her for that?
You can even make simple Eliza spout memes, this is not that hard once you know how the chatbot's algorithms work.
>>
>>54828044
>meme spouting bitch
I think you mean /pol/'s waifu.

Here are my challenges for /g/.

* Move out of parent's house.

* Get a girlfriend. (Must be actual girl, not tranny.)

* Have sex with girlfriend. (Penis in vagina. Not her pegging you with strapon.)

>>54828185>>54828142
Oh shit. He called you wiseguy. Are you going to take that?
>>
>>54827985
Yeah, it was my favorite class. Still have the nerdkit.
>>
>>54828129
yes
>>54828095
i think Tay was a bit more complex that a regular chat bot.
>>
>>54828044
I wanted to do something that gave life advice but made people go full /pol/, so like tay but more than just meaningless user interactions
>>
>>54828303
We don't know and that's the thing. It might've as well be MSFT viral to remind everyone how awesome they are and shit.
>>
>>54828280
what spec did it have ?
were there chicks in that class ?
>>
>>54828360
It only ran at 110kHz. Solderless breadboards aren't reliable at much higher. Last lab in the class was an optimization contest.

Class was about 1/3 female IIRC.
>>
>>54826804
Good luck with anything voice based. It takes about 100us to do a single 32bit floating point operation. Has no hardware division, even integer. Only 16kb working memory. Not a fucking chance m8
>>
>>54828526
this.
you could control a house with that, but voice control require more computational power.

its double with an Rpi
>>
>>54828626
I think you mean doable.
>>
>>54828747
yup, srry, typo

Render a black hole. Solve the geodeisc equations for the Kerr Newman metric and render the light being distorted from a far away source. You can brighten the scene, think Interstellar, to make it more interesting.
>>
>>54828816
One of my lecturers from Uni went to work with some american university to do exactly this.
I don't know how's it going, but there is potential in this.
Definitely a good challange.

Maintain a package in your fav distro.

Get a job in IT. You suck at programming but you like Gentoo? Go QA. I'm a college dropout who hates programming and after some learning and working on myself I got Linux-based job.

Create small but usefull projects. With possibility of finishing them. They look better on resume and can be really great. Look at Steam Linux Integration from Solus bois. :)

Learn to automatize. Ansible, Puppet, Salt are all great. Automatize preparing your environment. DevOps are hot these days.
