How many more have they missed lincuck?
Native English speakers will never know the pain
I'm a Finnish person and while fluent in English, I'm facing a unique problem with learning C++. The guides online and the best books are all in English. To get the cutting-edge information, I have to essentially "learn in English"
However, for one, Bjarne Stroustrup's "C++ programming" has been translated to Finnish, but it's from 2005. Not a big deal I guess, and understanding the concepts in my own language is probably easier BUT I'm polluting my mind with the Finnish terminology.
Non-natives, any tips? Pick one? Read both?

That's what you get for not being born in the U.S.
(also disregard old translated version, pick up the latest copy in English)
Stick to English. It may be difficult now but you'll be glad you did it later. I was in the same situation as you (my native language is Spanish).
My clients almost always speak English.
All the good forums are in English.
It's the language of business in my opinion. Good luck, OP. I wish you the best.

Aren't the Finns supposed to be coding wizards?
How do /g/ backup data on linux? Currently i use rsync but i'd like to try some GUI program.

Get a real operating system.

>>52522295
Why a GUI when a script will do the same stuff?

what was your first computer /g/
Mac Performa 630
ca 1994-1995
I got my first computer fairly late because we were poor. It was @ 2003/2004.
CPU: Athlon 2000+
GPU: FX5200 (256mb version)
RAM: 512MB DDR1
HDD: 80GB
My mom got a loan to buy us one because she knew how much I love computers (used to be non stop at the internet cafe). I love my mom.
>>52522185
>GPU: FX5200
I knew that feel bro
>first day at work

>managers come and take their new team members
>except mine doesn't come
>another manager takes me to him
>he doesnt even make eye contact with me
>he takes me out for lunch
>talks with other sanjeets more than with me
>i try to sound energetic and engage him in a convo
>"hmm sure" x 99
>other new hires are meeting their team members and getting settled with fancy hardware their managers purchased with company money
>i get a broken monitor and don't get to meet with team
>send him email about how excited i am to work with him and that i look forward to meeting with the team
>no response
>still dont know when to show up, when the meeting is, if there is a meeting at all
So /g/, I think I got stuck with one of the worst managers in NA. How were your first days at work?
He's planning on replacing you with sanjeet and pocketing the difference in pay.
Better start looking for another job.
warning signs:
>if the manager is not stereotypically overenthusiastic
>if you get a pile of broken garbage instead of the tools needed to do your job
you're autistic, what kind of treatment did you expect?
it really shows, you know.
I got talked out of buying another 5.1 Logitech speaker setup for my PC by an anon, and instead getting a pair of powered studio monitors and perhaps a subwoofer later down the track
>Price range: $350 - $400
Currently have my eye on these Mackie MR5 Mk3 or the JBL LSR305
>>52521853
stop with this shitty studio monitors meme
what are some okay budget speakers?
>>52521882
I've always ignored this fad.
They're just 'accurate' but very flat and bland, right?
Call me a moron for owning B&W gear, but I'd rather wear headphones than listen to studio monitors. Is the attraction just being actively powered?
So why have you not switched to 4k?
Because fuck you, that's why
>>52521826
I shoot pictures in more than 4k. Allows more freedom with editing, some of which is artistic, but also much of which is just fixing problems.
I just don't care to display 4k or more at one time. It doesn't really help with anything.
>>52521826
I will eventually just need a GPU more then a fancy smancy 4k screen

>dalvik cache build? Ha! Hope your phone is fully charged because 50% battery and 20-25 minutes of your life are gonna be wasted waiting for this piece of shit to cache, and that's with only 150 apps GRAND TOTAL including all user, system, and support/library packages.
Who in their right fucking mind thought this was a great motherfucking idea!?
>m-m-muh gaymin! Muh performance!
It runs EXACTLY the same as jit while breaking comparability on some things and drastically increasing boot and caching times!
/mad
meh, just like every. god damn. os. ever.
ios on an older iphone (what the fuck did they add to shit it up so much?) and windows, .net runtime, java runtime. it's all bloated.
>>52521790
Appreciated your rant, did you try a fstrim on M?
So /g/, I'm gettin into the Game Developer business, and I want to know what language should I learn to make a game or build my on engine?
C# for unity.
depends on your previous background, but I'd say just go straight for C++
>>52521772
C++ isn't a great first language. Too many advanced concepts for most people who are completely new to programming.
Learn C#, play with Unity and SDL.Net. Learn C++ once you feel comfortable with C#.
Step 1: Download throttle stop
Step 2: Launch and enable "power saver", this drops your multiplier more aggressively
Step 3: Go into Nvidia control panel and choose the Intel HD graphics as default processor
Step 4: Enable power saver in the W7/W8/W10 power options
Step 5: Use Edge as your browser, not Chrome
Did this in my 5 hour class. Was web browsing the entire time and had 65% battery left at the end of it.
Huge battery + downclocked Haswell/Broadwell/Skylake CPU + Disabled GPU = Just as good battery life as an ultra portable.
if stationary, just pull your battery out and go straight from the power source

holy shit, you must be extra retarded.
Does anyone know of any good launchers for android?
I like Nova (Prime for guestures)
>inb4 meh customization
>>52521681
i've tried a whole bunch today
and nova seems to be the best

How come?
Can /g/-related projects/groups please stop using Rizon for IRC? Some of the things that get done here seem interesting, but I am always disappointed to see that their main avenues of communication is one the shittiest, most cancerous IRC networks to ever exist. I liyerally cringe just when I read "Rizon".
Please change your ways.
>>52521562
You sound like the autistic one.
Aww what's the matter son? You want it to be on Freenode? Sorry about that. You see, this site was founded by people that watch that anime, for people that watch anime, and they are generally already connected to Rizon because of this, so it's really easy to just make a channel on the server they're already on. It's not like we're purposely doing it just to piss you off or anything, you're just the minority here.
>>52521636
This isn't /a/, faggot. But fine, if being an anime watching little bitch is more important than having a successful project, continue using Rizon and alienating talented people.
PROOF
>>52521485
This is less about Arch being outdated and more about the package maintainers being lazy and not patching the mainline kernel with fixes for known bugs.
