Hi, /g.
I'm a Python developer and yesterday a company offer me a job position as a C++ developer. I have zero experience with C++ but they said it is a long term position and they are OK with paying me to learn the language. The salary is very good. But I wonder if it is worth to learn C++ in 2016? I heard many awful things about C++ and there are new languages like Go, Rust, why people still uses C++?
>I'm a Python developer
That's cute.
>I'm a C++ developer
That's cute.
>why do people still use C++
shit's everywhere man, legacy code is one reason.
What awful things have you heard about C++?

it's useless though; it's not tented, and there's no esc key so kiss vim goodbye unless you remap something. Also the f keys are all tact switches and it's weird.
Might be cute if you ripped out the controller and stuck a teensy with generic 60% firmware in it

Hey /g/, i've got some rare command to share for your *nix box:yes > unlock.cpu.counter.limit
Explanation:
yes > :: writes a boolean 'true' to the next parameter.
unlock.cpu.counter.limit :: the second parameter which is the option you want to modify.
It will take a while to run because it needs to modify the limits for running threads without restarting them, this takes some time to pause, modify, and resume threads.
My CPU now runs at the full 3.5Ghz it can handle instead of the 2.5Ghz it...

>tired of this phone. Don't want to buy new one at full price.
>thinking of having Sprint or T-Mobile pay my ETF, stay with them for awhile, and then switch back to Verizon at some point later

How safe is a Linux os from hackers and viruses? Been seriously thinking of switching over to one since im getting fucking sick of Microsoft and Apples' shit. It should be a pretty secure system right? Most companies use Linux distros don't they because of this reason?

Built a new PC and want to cheap out on the OS to save $. Should I download a Windows 10 crack or is it better to install a Windows 7 crack and do the free upgrade to 10 thing that MS have been doing?
>>53624555
In either case Microsoft's upcoming anti-piracy measures will flag you as a pirate and make you buy a legitimate license from the Windows Store.
If you want a free operating system there is a wide variety that are available.

>disable updates with a script
wow, that was hard
Pirate Windows 7 SP1 then go to services.msc and disable the windows update service.
