So /g/ I have no Comp Sci background and I want to learn some shit. What are some maths, languages, sciences, and shit I should learn? I want to get a good foundation, I'm a bit old at 21, but I want to do it.
>>54387274
get some calculus in you, then learn a programming language like python/ruby/java/c
but don't get sucked into learning physics
>>54387274
For math, discrete is probably the most important for basic CS. Learn that and all the prerequisites. Do it alongside with the programming.
For programming start off in something simple like python. Practice alot. Do small projects. Get really familiar with it.
Then do the same thing with C++. While doing this read on data structures and algorithms. Implement them.
Once you have that foundation learning other languages should be pretty easy. Start taking on bigger projects and learning about design principles. Once you start doing bigger projects learn git and how to run test suites and use source documentation tools. It might be overkill at first, but when you work in industry or get to really big projects, you will need it. Also throw in other material you are interested in at this point that isn't language specific. Like comp org, assembly, programming language design, compiler design, etc. This gives you more of the science part rather than just being a code monkey.
Most importantly, don't give up too easily. This shit is hard to do right. It will take a long time to learn, and even then you can always grow and improve in some areas. If you just don't end up liking it, that is fine too. It isn't for everyone.

What kind of projects do you mean?
I just bought myself a Razer Tartarus because it looked great to use for Photoshop because my Tablet takes up too much room on my desk and reaching over is a pain in the ass. So I open the bad boy up, plug it in and downloaded Razer Synapse like I have done for every new Razer item I buy. It doesn't get detected. No matter what the fuck I do it isn't detecting the device. I tried deleting everything Razer related from the Registry, I have uninstalled RS multiple times, I updated my PC, I uninstalled any program and driver related to my tablet, mouse and keyboard. I have tried running it in compatibility mode as well. So then I was like let me try it on my Windows 10 PC. Still isn't detected. Plug in my old Deathadder, does it little Deathadder update and it isn't detected as well. The mouse and the GamePad both actually work and are detected by windows but I need to fucking program the buttons.
I literally have no idea how to solve this issue. Why are Razer products so shit? I have 3 Deathadders.
DA 1 had double-clicking issues within 1.5 years
DA 2 had double-clicking issues in 8 months
DA 3 mouse button 4 stopped working in 1 week
I mean what the fuck? Is there some magical old driver/firmware that just fucking works?
>>54387248
No razer has remarkably bad supports for old hardware.
If you want to use that PoS you need to install windows 7.
>>54387248
They're shit because stupid idiots like you keep buying them despite them breaking down on you continually and being unreliable. So since they get your money regardless they'll never bother to improve their products.
OP that thing looks retarded
Couldn't you just buy some separate numpad and remap the keys to what you want
That would probably cost you 80% less that this green pile of shit.
is there a chrome adblocker which doesnt rape browsing experience? cant even scroll my news feed having adblock plus on. if you help me, i wont even say thank you. please respond. picture unrelated

Why do you dweebs waste your time with this garb?

If you are into microblogging I highly suggest you to fuck back to twitter like the dumb winkid you are
>good proprietary OSs
You'd think with something like a daily programming thread, there'd be something like system administration threads too.
Had fun with any shell scripts (or DCL or batch scripts) lately?
There's no such thing as having fun with shell scripts.
sane defaults mean we don't get to have fun with shell scripts anymore

Posted this a couple of minutes ago in my shitty post about a python question :
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "Enter IP ADDRESS : "
read SHADOW
curl https://www.shodan.io/host/$SHADOW | egrep -wi -A1 --color 'Ports\open|Coun try|City|Organization|ISP|Hostnames|service-details|service-main'
I'm VERY new to programming at the moment, just starting out with some python. I have this script here that I'm trying to run :
#!/usr/bin/python
from os import system
def pingz():
system('ping -c 5 %(ab)s' % locals())
return;
def trace_route():
system('traceroute %(cd)s' % locals())
return;
print("Bitch_Ass_Name's Web Utility:")
print("____________________\n")
print(" 1)Ping a website/IP Address.\n")
print(" 2)Trace the route to a website/IP Address.\n")
print(" 3)Whois inforation.\n")
choice = raw_input("What would you like to do? \n")
if choice == 1:
ab = raw_input("Please enter the domain name/IP address:\n")
pingz()
elif choice == 2:
cd = raw_input("Please enter the domain name/IP Adress:\n"
trace_route()
else:
print "Please restart the script...you trickster, you."
When I try running it I get a "File ./test2.py, line 22
trace_route()
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax"
Why am I getting a syntax error for the trace_route but not pingz()? It's the same fucking syntax :( What am I doing wrong? Besides being a shitty programmer who can't RTFM
Go fuck yourself.
Forgot right parentheses ya dingus

I appreciate the help, great community.
I wonder what's happening here again

Idling with systemd
Try closing Firefox.

Do people really believe this?
>>54386826
It's technically true on floating point, and instructions per clock.
You'd be rather lucky to get a phenom2 above 4Ghz though, and at 4.6-4.7Ghz the 6300 is more capable
>>54386870
Except it doesn't have better ipc, they compensated that with more Hz.
Fx6300 can even outperform a phenom ii x6 in integer operations
>>54386826
>phenom ii better than fx
LOL, delusional fags
>can you help me install photoshop for free on my MacBook? I want to fix some of my pictures for my boyfriend Brody. I watched a video and it told me to install this "u torrent" app... Is it real?
Let me tickle you're feets for 5 minutes and I'll see what I can do.

Greetings gentleman.
I have come in the attempt to narrow down the number of laptop models you can buy for a decent price as i'm about to buy one to replace my old one.
The laptop will be used for CAD work, Video Rendering, Programing, Circuit Design, multiboot of 4 Operating Systems with 1 Windows Partition, 4 Linux Distributions, 2 BSD distributions and if possible Hackintosh with integrated graphics only.
Workstation tier laptops where considered but the price range was too high even though the performance was justified.
Current models I narrowed down the search for currently are
HP Pavilion Gaming Notebook - 15-ak010nr - 999$ about 800-950€
Inspiron 15 7559 Series Non-Touch - 899$ about 750-890€ depending on tax and location
Reasons of why will be explained bellow.
>Image not related
The HP Pavilion Gaming notebook
Pros
>Good Service Manuals
>Good warranty for user repairs
>ODD Capable
Cons
>General Shit build quality on the screen's back
>Base Model includes a 15'' inch HD screen instead of FHD
>GTX 950 with DDR3 memory
>Higher Price then the Inpiron
The Dell Inspirion 15'' multimedia laptop
Pros
>FHD Screen by default
>GTX 960 with GDDR5 RAM
>Much cheaper entry price then all models
>Service manuals and user warranty
Cons
> Core i5 by default
>16 gb of RAM limit

What is /g/'s preferred ROM for HTC One M8? I'm using Cyanogenmod but I'm thinking of switching.
LeeDroid is smooth, I'm on the latest one. The battery life is a bit shorter when compared to Sense 7 ROM's but all Sense 8 ROM's have this battery drain. Lee's one is the best among them.

That's on XDA, I'm assuming?
Does anyone know of any that emulate Marshmallow or the N preview?
