why hasn't their been more focus on making high capacity 2.5" drives?
wouldn't they be better for data centers to use since they take up less space?
>>53738572
They get hotter, are more expensive to make, have higher failure rates, etc.
>>53738572
"...better for data centers...?"
It's just an inch...
How much fucking storage space do you need in a 2.5" hard drive? Besides, SSDs are moving in much faster - Samsung just introduced a 16TB SSD, yes, 16 motherfuckin' terabytes and they will probably push out a 32TB model by the end of the year.
While you or I can't afford such monstrous amounts of storage, businesses crave it and will pay princely sums of cash for it because it translates into extremely fast data retrieval at this point in time with less power requirements and maintenance. The sheer fact that hard drives are still able to function for extended periods of time considering they're physical devices with actual moving parts plays into things.
SSDs are the paradigm shift, hard drives are on the way out for most everything except just plain old raw storage - and by raw storage I mean data that needs to be stored for long periods of time but not necessarily accessed with any speed requirements.
If every hard drive on the planet could be replaced instantly with SSDs of equivalent sizes, anywhere and everywhere at the same moment, everything would just work more efficiently.
16 fucking terabytes in one drive, sweet jebus I wish I had one of those I really do.

5990SEK is roughly $720 converted. So how is this one? Should I go for it or should I look for/wait for something else?
What I might use it for includes

>photoshop/paint tool sai/rarely video editing/etc
>internetting
>watching movies and series

Add another 8GB of memory once you get it and go away.

Yes. There is no empirical evidence OOP is better than functional or procedural
>>53738355
>Is Object-Oriented programming a meme?
Yes. It's gotten to a point where design pattern books have been written for OO languages to emulate common useful functionality from non-OO languages
>>53738421

Is pair programming a meme?
I'd meme all over that pair

Can i land a decent job with Network + and CCNA certifications? Im burnt out of my CS degree (I need abou 40 credits left to graduate) and want to drop out and go into IT.
you'll be throwing $30k+/year out the window if you quit now.
and it'll be harder to find a job.
>>53738344
What if I went to school in the meantime? If I continue I'll probably fail out because I'm also facing some mental health issues.
>>53738287
Why not both, shithead. Are you so some swamped by the pathetic CS work that you cannot obtain a multidisciplinary education?
Surprise Surprise
Now to find a way to enable it system wide.
>>53738263
Y'all ready for this?
>>53738328
Do it faggot

Please play this little browser game I made when I was underage and couldn't post. It works on mobile too.
The game is not fun. The fun part is the maze renderer. Because Apple used to not do WebGL, it draws the scene with the <canvas> as a sequence of trapezoids. There are 0 overlapping shapes!

>using non-free javascript

I thought it might be fun to post because I made something original. If you don't like it that's okay and expected.

No, at least not until holograms are released. Nobody wants to wear a stupid box on their face.

What sort of problems did you have to solve at your first programming course? Also post where you study and what do you study.
I study computer engeeniering in Bolivia, and they assign us ACM ICPC like problems to solve for the exams, but I think that is the reason why less than 10% of the students pass the course.

George Mason University, class is meme-tier here. The projects that we are told to delegate days to take a hour or two at most and the labs can be done in minutes. The homework and participation are worth ~5% so you don't even really have to show up or do the online textbook. Its my only class Monday so I act like it's an extension of Sunday.

I had to write a scheme interpreter.

For our first programming course, the hardest thing we had to do was print a pyramid of numbers to the console
>Be me
>NEET
>Have smartphone
>People always asking how i can afford a smartphone and not work
>People don't know you can use a smartphone without a plan
Why are non-neets so technologically illiterate?
>>53736106
but how can you afford to buy a smartphone in the first place?
A more general question, how do you afford life?
>>53736214
I live rent free with parents and i make money buying and selling random shit on letgo and craigslist.
>>53736106
Because they are too bust making money not to spend it at every opportunity in order to prove their status in our consumerist society.
