Should I learn Ruby or Python?
Can they achieve the same results?
Which one does it more elegantly?
You must be new here.
50/50
I see them as pretty much the same. But I use python.
http://learn.onemonth.com/ruby-vs-python
I use ruby, it's really easy, elegant and almost as you're writing english sometimes.
Ruby has perfect object orientation, so if that's what you're used to, go for it.

How do you feel about adblock-shaming?
As long as they don't actually block the content
i hate anything that causes a website to awkwardly personify itself and treat me like a friend when i'm usually there because no other site has the specific thing i need
i only really use one site that has ads and that's 4chan
>>53701802
adblock just prevents bad sites from being sustained
I see no reason to not use it
Since this board always loves the biggest numbers, what's /g/'s opinion on desktops that are designed to be low resource and low power?
They are good for office/surfing but not for MUH GAEMS, so they aren't common here
Never really got why people are so concerned about the economy of their car and TV, and never think about that computer/laptop they spend all day on. I'm really looking forward to an ARM desktop, with actual storage bays and such.
Might even force programmers to think about their code when designing software again, and a return to dedicated video and sound chips like the OPLs and Paula.

Do these guys have any real competitors?
I fucking remember this company's BIOS on my PC 25 years ago, and I still see them today, even doing BIOS/UEFI on my tablet.
They probably don't have too many competitors. Being a BIOS provider is the same kind of market niche as being a widget producer (sole company that produces X unique part only used in Y machines by Z companies). It's not sexy and there's never going to be a sudden explosion in the BIOS industry.

Hey /g/ quick terminology question: how would you call the sound when a computer boots up? I only have one word (novel title) so it must be as accurate as possible.
Startup? Bootup? My problem with "Startup" is that it sounds like these fresh hipster companies but "Bootup" sounds kinda lame. What's the correct term?

How stupid can you be? Is there any search safer from NSA and Mossad spying than China's most popular search engine? Obviously not. Get smart, get privacy, get Baidu!

This year I´ll begin CS at an university in Germany (Informatik).
I´ve got two options. A Bachelor (3 years) and a Diploma (5 years). As far as I can get, Diploma>Bachelor, but Bachelor+Master>Diploma.
Is it worth it to go or a master/diploma?
What differences could I expect after I´m done with it?
>>53701015
Ich hab an ner FH nen Bachelor gemacht und schreib grad meine Masterarbeit.
Wenn du kein völliger Volldepp bist, schreibst du dich gefälligst in einen Diplom-Studiengang ein und machst Anschließend den Master. Das ist so ziemlich der Standardabschluss in der Branche. Sieh zu, dass du dich nicht (vor allem am Anfang) zu sehr spezialisiert und geh nebenbei als Programierer arbeiten.

Which language would you use to code games?
>>53700972
I'm going to be completely honest with you
just go get Game Maker and Unity. Engines are here to provide the means so idiots like me and you don't have code our own tools to design a game. Save some time
>>53700972
In this day and age it's actually kind of silly to make your own engine. Look into unity, unreal engine 4, or cryengine. They are powerful tools and have pretty sweet licenses nowadays.
>>53700972
C/C++, C#/Unity, Javascript/Canvas.
Depends on your target platform and game type.

>>53700880
