If your architecture isn't compatible with the binary cache, then packages are downloaded from source. People have it running on RPi and other ARM systems.

Why haven't you compiled your own linux kernel, /g/?
Do you enjoy knowing that your generic distro-provided kernel loads hundreds of MB's of unnecessary shit on startup and during idle?
Imagine having baked-in support for tens of thousands of devices that you don't ever use, that's what your Linux kernel is doing.
Why do you need both intel AND amd support in your kernel? You only have 1 CPU.

theres some very very smart people who browse this board I'll just say that (I'm not one of em, but I've had the pleasure of meeting some of them)

Around 1980, when the news media took notice of hackers, they fixated on one narrow aspect of real hacking: the security breaking which some hackers occasionally did. They ignored all the rest of hacking, and took the term to mean breaking security, no more and no less. The media have since spread that definition, disregarding our attempts to correct them. As a result, most people have a mistaken idea of what we hackers actually do and what we think.

>>60892707
what do you define as "actual hacker"? I've heard plenty of people here who have a career in SQL Injection and Penetration testing.

Why is almost every 3d game engine written in C++ and not Java?
Sure there are Java game libraries which port C++, but that's not the same thing.

Game devs are fucking retards, they're not skilled enough to write their own engines, and their naivete leads them to write hundreds of layers of garbage abstractions, but hey, at least they end up with a game at the end, the skilled programmer who enjoys programming never finishes a game.

>>60892602
I've actually tried reading up on how to even begin writing my own game engine and there is next to zero information that is visible online

Yeah I really wonder why they're using an unmanaged language instead of a managed language that runs significantly slower

Hey guys I want to make my own web browser, how hard is it? I have 4 years of web development experience.

>>60892459
If you actually had 4 years of """webdev""" """experience""" you would realize what an undertaking it is to write a serviceable HTML5/CSS/JS stack.
Protip: If the first question you have when attacking a problem is "how hard is it", the problem is too hard for you.
>>
>>60892459
Depends, I've coded my own private browser that runs great on arch, it took me about 2 years of on and off coding.
If you're a brainlet though it may take you a lot longer.

Care to share the source? I'm hungry for quality browsers.
Looking to get my A+ certification. I've built a couple computers in the past, but I'm not sure if I shouly take boot camp or the long way. Anyone with experience in either option have any advice?

class human:
def __init__(self,name,birthdate):
self.name = name
self.birthdate = birthdate
def app(self):
return 4
class person(human):
def __init__(self,name,birthdate,age):
super().__init__(name,birthdate)
self.age = age
def app(self):
return super().app()
a = person("bob",1888,22)
print(a.app())
I need help understanding this code. why do i need to put a return before super().app()?
when i call the app method on the a instance shouldn't the app method of the supperclass be run?
when you remove return in the person class and print a.app() it returns None

>>60892032
Human is inheriting human, so it is a subclass of the super class "human". When person calls its app function, it calls its super class' app method that it inherited, and returns the value that it gets from this method (4 in this case).

This is the ideal brace style. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

It doesn't matter if you do that, a single line or a more apropiate format, in the end the compiler will thrown that away and the machine code will be the same, regardless of your shitty text position.

I feel like ChromeOS is just a better version of Macs for normies.
>It's faster
>It's just as safe, if not safer
>Easier to use
>Can support any app a normie would want
>Better battery life
>Ultracheap to ultra premium options
I would much rather deal with Google's botnet than Windows, because it at least gives me some functionality.
