Why do people find algorithm analysis so hard?
because you touch yourself at night
It's the running time analysis that gets me, rest is not that hard. I don't know half of what I wrote in my paper and still got 70%.
>>54408769
I think it is because they learn how to code and program before analyzing the problem and designing the solution.
why does /g/ like to pretend like its anti consumerism? You guys hate on Microsoft and apple "shills" all the time, yet you buy expensive headphones, keyboards, etc. that you don't need.
fuck you hypocrites
>>54408658
Using free software instead of Microsoft or Applel cuckware isn't about anti-capitalism or anti-consumerism; it's about freedom, not beeing controlled by a company, anti-censorship and against dividing people by disallowing to share.
There are many jobs in the free software movement. Remember that it's about using free software, not gratis software.
/g/ pretends to be anti a lot of things. It's part of the hipster complex.
>>54408658
sadly /g/ became a consumerist cesspool by the years. Ironically you can read in the first page sticky that /g/ stands for technology discussion and that's it's not a personal consumer review site.
We debated not so long ago whether split the board into tech and consumerist boards or tech generals given the amount of shitty consumerist generals. But no-one gives a flying kite really.
Also shills are real, Windows is shit and OSX is gay m8.
Daily reminder: there are paid apple shills on /g/.
Apple is in the process of becoming bankrupt so they will resort to paying shills to market their products as much as possible to try and save the company like always.
Their stock has dropped from $110 to $92 in the past 30 or so days so expect very heavy shilling on /g/ from now on.

Here's an example.
Do algorithms have any real world uses?
>>54408600
Only if you go into the higher echelons of computer science.
even sorting in Micro$hits Word is an algorithm
Maybe if you end up doing research, but for the 80% of CS majors who end up as java/c# codemonkeys for major companies the answer is no.
So I'm currently with an Samsung S5 SM-G900F with 5.0 because I switched to Cyanogenmod 13 and it didn't work for me. But anyways, how can I root it? I had it rooted, but now for some reason (with the same root image that my 5.0 previously) I soft-brick it. I don't know how to root it now, and I don't want to fuck it, so, can you help me?
>>54408595
Cm 13 sucks in s5, why would you change it?
>>54408622
For trying it, but it went wrong.
Can someone help?
Web dev is less interesting than coding dishwashers
When coding dishwashers, you work with an embedded system with limited resources and you need to know university mathematics such as fuzzy logic, control theory and differential equations to control the washing procedure.
Meanwhile when you code a webpage you just do some HTML and CSS, call some libraries and connect to your MemeSQL database.
>>54408443
I'm sure the dishwasher firmware industry is just booming.
>>54408443
It looks like you found a career path in embedded programming OP, congratulation !
>>54408443
Web dev is not even coding, its just fucking shit together.
So, I wanted to be a cool kid and drop ABP in favor of uBlock Origin.
But, it apparently broke my 4chanel.
Turning it off just for 4chan doesn't help, though I know it's uBo because it was fine with ABP.
What do next? Installing gentoo is not an option.
>>54408438
Show us your uBo dashboard, you tech illiterate POS.

Windows 7 users who don't want windows 10, why won't you downgrade to vista?
Vista is:
faster than 7
still supported yet doesn't have the windows 10 upgrade thingy
99% the same as 7, all drivers and legacy programs running on 7 will run on vista
>>54408422
>Vista faster than 7
>>54408435
>truth
People believe that 7 is faster simply because a 2009 computer is a part of a next generation of components over a 2005 computer
>>54408435
Well, acutally.

Figure out the hidden message, /g/
Because you guys are taking so long, here's a hint:0A 05 01 12 21 49 02 01
This is a simple image format with a 2-byte header, so I'm honestly surprised by /g/'s inability to figure out even this

What happens to programmers when they get old? I'm under the impression that they usually tend to remove themselves from actual coding by going into entrepreneurship or into management of some larger companies. What happens to the rest of them? What's the likelihood of a 50 year old programmer getting employed after his previous company goes down under?
>>54408350
They get put out to pasture.
We get stuck in our ways. Never willing to change, like most old people. Will use C and Assembly till death.
Programming is sort of a creative job. Do programmers get exhausted from programming as the time goes on? Like lose inspiration...

It's your fault for using windows.

>>54408304
install vista. effectively the same as 7, will get updates but no windows 10 shit
is there any site or forum you g/ users seriously consider as reliable? i'm not talking about meme sites like hackforums or g itself, but a site i can retrieve useful informations and technical knowledge from?
>>54408244
ubuntu forums ;)
It depends on what you are looking for. Different questions neccesitate looking in different places
>>54408244
stackoverflow
whatever is on 1st page on google search is usually good

Any chink solution to keep all of these chargers organized?
eGPU anon stopped posting. I think his card broke or something and he's hoping everyone forgot.
What do you guys think about this shit?
Do you think the "Internet of Things" is just a fad, or am I going to keep seeking motherfuckers connecting the toaster to the web?
Let's talk about this phenomenon. And by that I mean, let's use buzzwords and shitpost about it.

This guy from MIT says it all.
The internet of things is the future, The people of tomorrow will enjoy the full cloud internet of things EXPERIENCE. Always connected with wearable and home automation. You smartphone will be the hub of you connected home providing the true connected experience.
All that matters in business is whether something is a profitable idea, not a good idea. These things will sell like hot cakes and then Scarlet Johansson will hack our microwave ovens.
