what ghosting programs do you use?
What the fuck is "ghosting"
>>54345543
NON-LINIX ghosting
fucking neckbeards.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.
Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.
One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?
(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.
Is Node.js good to learn for a front end beginner? If not, what would you recommend instead?
It's modern and the fastest growing ecosystem, there is nothing else you should begin with!
>>54345284
Ask in /wdg/, but personally, I quite like it. Not sure how relevant it is to the front end, but its a good skill to have.
>>54345335
Sorry, meant to write back end, not front end.
I'm just looking for other people's opinions as I am torn between node and PHP.
Why is Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 so bloated?
It's messy, a variety of functions that God knows what they are used for and laggy (especially when debugging the code).
What's the whole reason behind all of this, why does it even exist?
What IDE would you recommend for C++;
(pic somewhat related)
>>54345248
Visual Studio is very advanced once you're familiar with it, though agree it's heavyweight.
Recently I've been using the JetBrains C++ IDE, early days but pretty good. Miss features from VS though.
Visual Studio of big because of the endless features. A half decent computer could run it give anyway so what's the big deal?
>>54345343
my computer is wooden, that's what's the big deal

>I have a low opinion of Gentoo GNU/Linux.
>Gentoo is a GNU/Linux distribution, but its developers don't recognize this; they call it "Gentoo Linux". That means they are treating me and the GNU Project disresepectfully.
>More importantly, Gentoo steers the user towards nonfree programs, which is why it is not one of our recognized free distros.
>See the GNU distros list [http://gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html] for the distros that I do recommend.

why does /g/ hate ruby so much? what exactly is wrong with it?
>>54345064
The language is very slow
Ruby on Rails was definitely pioneering at the time, but there are better options for web frameworks now
Not much use outside of web development
Community was rather toxic at one point, not sure what it's like now
It's not terrible, still a useful language/framework, just there are better options imo.
>>54345092
what would you recommend for a better web framework? i'm not at all experienced in web dev. and i'm looking to get more into it, i've had a lot of fun with ruby on rails.
>>54345109
I like Spring Framework which is Java, but most of /g/ doesn't like Java much.
Spring is extremely modular and flexible, but comes with a large learning curve due to building on lots of enterprise Java concepts.
If you know RoR I wouldn't jump ship unless you have a particular need.
Not sure if I can post this here so I've also added it to /wsr/
I keep getting texts from someone and no number is listed it just comes up with "unknown" there to personal to be some kinda spam bot from casually throwing my number about on some online promotion or whatever and if I try to ring it cuts out straight away like it just doesn't ring. I know there are apps which you can use to text from and it will hide your number, has anyone ever encountered this or know how to find out where the texts are coming from? Any help would be appreciated. Have also consider going to police but wanted to get a bit of information first.
Pic related I'm with Giffgaff
>>54345062
Get a call blocker or whitelist.
>>54345193
Do any of those require me to know the number?
I'd wish I'd not deleted the messages so I could screen cap. If I get a text from a number I haven't saved then the number just appears where the name would be. However it just comes up with Unknown
Every time they text you does it go under the same unknown? Or does ot create a new conversation each time? If its the first one, just add it to spam numbers

it's good you're just mimicking (i know you most likely made this up) what this board does, encouraging people to install lenix, aka the os who basically can't run anything.
Is this autism?
why aren't you running BunsenLabs?
Why shall I?
Is that stock Bunsen?
>>54345024
yes

Why is everything online such a chore now?
Want to read this news article? You can't unless you fuck around with your script blocker.
Want to sign up for an email adress? You have to give them your fucking phone number.
Fans going full tilt rendering a lightbox effect so you can see that cat wearing a sombrero as it was meant to be seen.
Everything's shit.

>>54344666
I agree with what Satan said.
I just bought D-LINK DWA-548 wireless adapter for my Desktop PC and installed it. Advertises up to 300mbps speed. My ISP provided speed is up to 100mbps. Ran a few speedtests:
On Wi-Fi - http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5295276755
On cable - http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5295280416
Seems like i am maxing out my possible bandwidth on cable but not on wifi. Can i achieve same results on wifi as on cable? Or am i missing something? I installed drivers from the manufacturer site.
bamp any help appreciated. Tried on my laptop and it is pushing 5MBs steady both on download and on upload
>>54344077
Does your WiFi router allow up to 300 Mbps? (wireless n)
If it doesn't, that's definitely your bottleneck.
>>54344164
How do i check that? By model?
Also this screen pops up in the middle of installing drivers. I dont have a cd-rom, can this be an issue?
Installation completes fine though after clicking Next and there is Wireless Connection Manager icon on desktop but after clicking on it, does nothing, no response, doesnt open up. Something is not right here?
Is anyone here interested in computer vision and know something about it?
I'm studying system engineering with specialization on machine learning and computer vision. looking for good and practical sources on topic.
also Machine learning and computer vision general
