The 1080 is the flagship, but was never expected to be the sales leader. That will be the 1070 and 1060.
I bet there will not be over 20,000 GTX 1080s sold across the whole world.
Hey /lit/, I've been programming for about seven years now (not counting two years before that of half assed attempts to learn). I used to love it. I'd look forward to going home and working on my projects. I'd spend weekends writing scripts for Arma so my missions would be cooler. I'd whip up dumb little multiplayer game prototypes my friends and I would play with. I'd add fun things to my IRC bot.
Now, though, after working professionally as a programmer for awhile and trying to make actual polished "products" instead of just dumb pet projects in my free time, it just isn't fun anymore. It just feels like endless polish. I learned Clojure about a year ago and I had a lot of fun making a Clojurescript/NodeJS webapp until I got to a point where all my time would be spent polishing. Now I'm sitting here trying to think of something that would be fun to make and nothing seems like it wouldn't be a chore.
Anyone feel like this? How'd you push through?

Sorry, I don't really go to 4chan anymore and that's the last board I've been to.
Learn a new language. What do you know besides Clojure?
Think of a problem that exists that doesn't currently have a solution, and try to create the solution yourself. First in the languages you know, then in the new one you're learning. This is much easier said than done, but very rewarding. If you truly innovate, you could end up a millionaire.
Polish is gay soul-sucking tedium, you're right about that.

>Learn a new language. What do you know besides Clojure?
C, C++, Java (I'd need to brush up if I did anything with them again, though), Ruby, Python, Clojure, Javascript. I tried learning Haskell but since I learned all about functional programming in Clojure it just felt like a stricter version with worse syntax (I actually love Lisp).
I guess I would like to learn Rust. Last time I tried I gave up because I was p burnt out from my last job and it's pretty tough to crack. You need to deal with the same safety shit as in C/C++, but the compiler won't let you just not do it while you're learning. I actually might try that again.

See, I actually have a few things I'd like to see get made. Nothing revolutionary, but like, I'd like to make a turn based browser game where you can either play in "real time" or basically play by email. I just can't motivate myself to do it because I know it'll just end up turning into polish tedium.
>Polish is gay soul-sucking tedium, you're right about that.
The worst thing is my last jobs have had very demanding employers. They really didn't want any compromises. I'd spend a week working on something before I'd have to say "The technology just isn't there yet". A good example of that was he wanted all the images in an web app to be SVGs that scaled perfectly and could have their color changed dynamically. Spent a week pounding my head against the wall on that before we just said fuck it and just had multiple PNGs for different colors.
In retrospect, I guess I should have realized there was a problem and stopped earlier.
I've used several ones, rssowl for a while, and now have quiterss. For some unknown reason it randomly has serious issues such as deleting itself, and crashing, causing corruption of the feed database file.
(I checked all my antivirus thoroughly and made sure there were exceptions, but it made no difference. And no, it shouldn't be the drive; it's relatively new and no other programs have issues.)
Anyway, any suggestions for free rss software?
It doesn't need to be anything over the top. I actually liked quiterss best for the features it has.
newsbeuter if you want to be cool like the rest of /g/. alternatively you can use a browser extension. I used bamboo for a while and I liked it but it had a few bugs
Opera 12 is the best RSS reader. It's also got the best browser and best mail client built in.

thanks
probably should have said I was looking for something for win7
>uTorrent accounts for more than 150 million active users a month, which makes it the most used BitTorrent client by far. Besides, the software also has dedicated community forums with tens of thousands of daily visitors, and more than 388,000 registered members. These forums have just been hacked, exposing the private details of its members. BitTorrent Inc. issued a warning saying that the hackers managed to grab the user database, and passwords should be considered compromised. This is why all the users are recommended to update their passwords – both on uTorrent forums and other sites if they are identical.

LAMO! Can't believe /g/ fell for this botnet meme
Use deluge.
I believe the only one here who fell for thine meme was you, OP

Literally no one uses that, so I don't know what you're trying to get at.

Why does this thread exist? It seems rather silly to me. Are you mentally challenged?

we know pascal has better async support though. it's not perfect, but its better nevertheless.

Pick one.
Negative improvements on DX12? Literally how the fuck is this possible?
Once in a while my computer crashes and my screen is showing some weird stuff. What could be the course?

Looks like your GPU's fucked.

Why is there so much brand loyalty for a company that treats their customers like criminals?
I've never been able to understand this bizarre phenomenon. Nvidia is truly an enigma.
>>55031628
How do they treat their customers like criminals?
Because unlike AMD, they make good products
Nvidia is for quality, AMD for cheap trash
Their drivers usually work

yeah sounds like a fucked up motherboard, do you have another older dGPu you can try out?
Why does Nvidia insist on using a 256-bit bus when even low-end AMD cards use 512-bit?
>>>/sqt/
did this really warrant an entire thread?
>>55031497
well because its probably not related to the performance, or not a bottleneck. not trying to shill for nvidia tho ,maybe amd cards of similar specs are better in some programs thanks to it, but we would need benchmarks on non gimping programs/drivers.
>>55031497
because bus width is generally meaningless and design-dependent?
First time Apple has used AMD CPU.

How can I sync folders between my Android phone and Windows 10?
>>55031131
OP here to expand on it more: My android phone connects to PC like USB storage. The music folder in it I want synced with the music folder in my PC. So any new files I download, or any ID tag info I change in the mp3 files is synced when I connect the phone to my PC.
Any recommendations for programs which can help me achieve this?
>>55031131
install gentoo
>>55031153

this is a one-way sync
computer to phone but not vice versa (since the phone won't be altering any files and you won't want it to affect the PC's files at all).
Just write a shell script. It'll probably start with "cp"
