I just failed my job interview at my dream country. How do I kill myself?
It was a position as a System Administrator. During the technical questioning, I panicked and went full spaghetti. Dude asked me how much memory the machine had, I show them /proc/meminf, see 5XXXXX kB and go "Oh this machine obviously has 50GB of memory".
IT manager asked me to make a backup of the webserver configuration files. I go into /etc/ make a compressed backup using tar but fuck up and place the backup INTO /etc/ with the folder name of the configuration file. Next task is to start the webserver and I get an error because obviously now the apache2 configuration folder is a binary. I don't even realize that I fucked up and think it's an intended obstacle like in the other tasks, basically start fixing my own fuck-up.
Don't give up.

Overdose on illegal drugs, but if you are a man then go on a leftist shooting spree.
>>52006541
Thanks. I'm just so disappointed of myself. The tasks were incredibly easy and I basically can't believe I screwed up this bad.
It was the perfect position....
>>52006463
Because its shit?
>>52006463
Because I'm using a Pentium 4.
>>52006483
poo in the loo x64 shill
>>52006316
Because I like 64 bit.
It's quite literally the worst processor architecture Intel made
I am
Which one should I buy?
>>52006234
A Thinkpad
get a gun instead and shoot yourself.
Just get a thinkpad idiot
Hey /g/ents was wondering what mice you guys recommend. I've been using a gaymer razer tron mouse for the past 3 years and I just realized how shitty it is.
What does /g/ think about the Virtuix Omni? Will you buy one?

I like the idea but its before its time. Everything else needs to be cheaper first.
OK, /g/, I hope someone can give me some insights in this.
C is retarded.
No, I am not talking about that whole pointer thing. Variables storing the addresses of other variables is fucking ingenious.
I am also not talking about various overflow methods. If your code overflows your memory, it's your fault, and your fault alone for not making sure that you have enough memory reserved.
But there is one thing that effectively destroys C for me. It's something that is so elemental that, from what I can see, most people don't even think about this anymore.
It's the fucking null-termination of strings.
"Oh, you want to write a file with the name of what's stored at that address? No problem - BUT IT HAS TO BE NULL-TERMINATED!"
"You want to resolve the domain 4chan.org? Go ahead - BUT WHAT YOU GIVE ME MUST BE NULL-TERMINATED!"
In case you don't get what I mean exactly: the fact that most programmers use null-terminated strings in their APIs effectively kills my efforts to program zero-copy algorithms - which means that data is not copied even once. You have a file in which file paths are stored. But instead of the fucking null byte, at the end of each path is a line feed (\n). How do you pass the paths to an I/O function?
"But anon, just replace the line feed with a null byte, and you're good to go!" - and what if the file was mapped into memory read-only? Change the file mapping method, so that ugly copy-on-write is executed?
My question is on what drugs Dennis Ritchie must have been at the beginning of the 70s when he came up with that retarded concept of null-termination. It's retarded. R-E-T-A-R-D-E-D. And we are carrying this retardedness with us for 42 years now. What were they thinking?! What are we still thinking that we didn't get rid of this crap? Is backwards compatibility really that important for such an elemental - ELEMENTAL - component of our software infrastructure?
>>52006118
You're dumb.
>>52006144
And you are retarded as well, because if you had anything worthwhile to write, you would have done so already.
>>52006144

some pos HP mouse, finna upgrade to a g600
LOOKS LIKE I DID IT AGAIN
Does anybody else here use emacs (or vim) as their primary ide. Do you any of you use emacs as an operating system?
>inb4 sublime master race
>>52005862
I only understand the basic and use it as a text editor.
>>52005862
I use acme, the _integrating_ development environment
>>52005862
yes. emacs. i don't use it for anything other than editing.
Guess what just arrived, /g/ ;)
Snakeoil?
A shit purchase!!!
Is it a box?
>tfw I fell for the Nexus 6P meme
>he fell for the bendgate meme
>purposefully bending your phone
Sorry to hear bro.
Forum users often claim you can just bend it back because they have "done it like twenty times". But one day it will bend too far or the material get weak from bending back and forth.
>tfw Nexus 6 for $200
It sure does pay to be patient
Why do people hate python?
>>52005550
why do people hate faggots?
Just angry neckbeards hate it because they love to waste their time with complicated languages.
It's the same kind of losers that use Gentoo or Arch Linux.
>>52005550
I like it better than ruby
theres nothing wrong with Amd CPUs
suck my dick /g/.
>>52005514
but /g/ sucks AMD's dick daily
But you can't Hackintosh! How else am I supposed to eat shit from my hands on a budget?
I hate jews but Intel is better
Besides packet sniffing,what else could potentially work?
>>52005228
Jamal fuck. Stop trying to steal internet as well as iphones
>>52005228
grab the handshake, try to brute force the password out of it. good luck.

When did this dank meme start?
How is the color of people's phone number decided on Whatsapp? Non-contacts as well as contacts
The phone secretly draws blood from your hand. The amount of sugar in the blood is used as a metric to decide the color.
>>52005290
But how? I mean how does it convert the amount of sugar to an RGB value?
