omg digital love! cyberpunk!!!

>>1378 Development branch is the testing branch, edge itself is just the rolling release repository. It's extremely stable, the only issue I ever had was gimp being recognised as updated when it was still on version 2, I just had to reinstall it to properly have version 3. Other than that I never had any problem

>>1353 thanks the 11 hours I get is after applying all those optimisations you suggested but as >>1355 Says, enabling amd_pstate driver did yeild better results by utilising the newer hardware powersaving features of my CPU . But I think this applies to my specific machine as opposed to something that would work with a ThinkPad . Using 'indicator cpufreq' to cap the max CPU clock to 500mhz while doing light tasks like reading PDFs also boosts the battery tremendously and make the laptop be comfy enough to used on the lap without getting 3rd degree burns I was basically trying to see if I can outlast MacBooks of my colleagues and not have to carry the 2 kilo brick of a charger ROGs come with

>2kilo charger Lol what I have 48w charger and it's super light. Another is 65w and it's barely a kilo.

>>1383 woaw

>>491 >>1354 Been nearly two years, damn. Here you are.

Java is my primary language after trying multiple languages over the years. For a long while I was crazy into functional programming but then the inability or extreme inconveniene to write traditional for loops, early returns, breaks, continues and responsible mutations hindered my productivity, my program's performance and I would have to write a lot of recursive and conditional boilerplate. Java is pretty underrated and usually blamed for things that it does not cause. A lot of the boilerplate and OOP mess people complain about comes not from Java itself but from the Java developer mentality in the industry.

>>231 Lua and C, best combination ever

php of course

>>1418

>>1419 PHP is perfect! (not as good as holy c)

>>1396 slimbook site looks like shit. Frameworks' site is at least tolerable also why do you compare refurbished to brand new

>>1397 I didnt elaborate I meant to compare business laptop durability and repairability with slimbook's since usually we get refurbished business laptops when we want one of that type

>>1291 I'm personally a fan of my Dell Latitude 5420. I paid 400 USD for 512GB of NVME Storage, Fingerprint reader, 16GB Ram, built-in wifi, pretty good repairability, plus a fuckton of I/O

>>1399 That's the great thing about business laptops like the latitudes and the thinkpads it's very nice

I've been using the Slimbook since it arrived in tuesday and I can conclude that the battery bypass feature is not placebo. The idea is that, once the charge limit is reached, the charging goes straight to the hardware and bypasses the battery to save its lifespan. After intense use of this laptop since tuesday + gaming, the battery cycle count is still at 0!!! I wonder any mainstream brand does this

>>1412 there is a crossboard quoting bug lol you probably don't have to change *that* much data by hand though, :(

and what's weird is that it's only on the overboard??? Do you guys handle quoting outside of your "Post" class or whatever similar? 0_0

>>1411 my password manager does it. I can write a shell script that wraps around any tool, processes a file and pads it for three fiddy (in Monero). it's not rocket science

>>1415 troll harder

>>1416 sure man, whatever

>>80

>>38 understanding basic geometry in 2D and in 3D, (for example, equations of lines, linear interpolations between points) is very helpful if you are dealing with graphics or even just bare gui layouts For everything else, the way math works is that once someone has figured something out you can just copy the solution. It's highly unlikely that you ever get to work on something inovative so its quite useless. It's still a good idea to understand these things tough If I say that your algorithm takes quadratic time, you should immediately know what that means and why otherwise you will look like a dunce

The amount of math you need will vary depending on what "genre" of programming you're working in. Web development might not need more than basic arithmetic, but you should explore languages that specialize in scientific computation to see another world of computing. https://julialang.org/community/organizations/

Not a lot and for those areas where it is necessary you can learn it then since it's usually just a sub-part of what you'd get taught in school. (like matrices and calculus for 3D graphics or understanding the modular multiplicative inverse for RSA crypto) It's usually the theoretical college parts for academics that focus on the mathematics.

Many people think that math is the only form of logic or the purest one, but math is just one of many different ways to think logically. Computers and machines focus primarily on machine logic, iteration, electricity, etc. Programming is highly logical but it's not a branch of maths by itself. What to expect: If you do computer graphics, data analysis, LLM, etc, you will use a decent amount of maths, not because of programming itself but because of your field. If you don't work on a math-heavy field then you won't do much maths besides arithmetics, though something that sticks is the declarative mindset of maths. Computers are inherently procedural, but in functional programming you think in a declarative way. If you like that then that's alright and if you don't then that's alright too because there are plenty of traditional languages and machines themselves are not declarative.

>>1358 angry because nobody is fondling you rn

>>1360 i fondle myself 3 times a day wanna me fondle you as well?

>>1361 please fondle meeeeee I can fondle you too

>>1134 did you rockbox your hifiwalker H2? how did you do that?

>>1134 bump how did you installed rockbox on the H2? please

>>1386 >accidentally nuked hikarin...

>>1387 I secure erased the wrong drive....

>>1388 Lovely

Been a Gentoo user since 2006-ish, right around when I was graduating HS. First Gentoo box was a hand-me-down Gateway PC with a 500mhz Katami PIII and a Voodoo3 GPU. It was such a POS PC. Current computer is the fast fetch on the small screen. The other one is my home server, which is my old computer. Yes I am a furry. Yes I will "yiff in hell". Small screen is my WinMax 2 2023's display, upper monitor is a 2560x1080p curved viotek, lower monitor is a 2560x1080p curved acer. There is a 4th monitor, that is an old panasonic CRT TV, but it isn't hooked up right now. Image spoiler'd because it is technically NSFW, but in my opinion my wallpapers are artistically tasteful.

>>1391 >Yes I am a furry hikarin no hard feelings but I feel absolutely no pity for you

>>1178 >>1179 I don't think hiroshima-san even knows about it

Since we're on the subject, I've read somewhere that the guy who got in was worming inside for about a year, before nuking the site and doxing the mods. Does anyone know if this is true?

>>1181 he claimed it on sjak party. but no proof i wish he somehow got the whole DB. i want to see my bans from back in the day

>>1182 >the whole DB He said he wouldn't leak anything about the users I have seen some ban summaries be posted though?

>>1155 Really useful site for bug bounty hunters: https://lostsec.xyz/

>>1294 I don't have anything interesting to post on it though, other than pirated ebooks.

>>1295 make a site dedicated to teaching people about torrenting or something. just something bro. make a neocities.

i am making a personal site on neocities as a project to learn html and css, but i do not knopw very much at all and it is far from complete. maybe when it's closer to completion i'd consider adding it to a webring.

I've followed the LC ring threads for yeaaars but never posted any site I made because they're all smart nerds posting blogs about the same tech stuff I don't understand plus thats kind of their theme. if more h3 sites are posted I might join too, since people here are less intimidating but I also buy new domains every year when I think of something new, so maybe I wait

>>1305 just post, nobody else will
