Give me one good reason why you should write software (desktop applications) in any language other than C?
What do C++ (let's face it, no one is writing C++ they just absorb planets with frameworks and get 15% perf increase over Java/C#) C# or Java (lol) offer? All their libs/VEE's are bloated, slow and have shit ton of overhead due to abstraction they offer to "enterprise software". I see no point in writing good/fast/low overhead/optimized code in C#/Java since i'm writing the same code I would be writing in C, except that with C i would get 50% better performance if not more because I can do custom ASM optimizations and compiler can do much more than some 5ms per func JIT.
I don't know about Rust/Go/ or any other SJW shit but I guess they're even worse than C#/Java.

Why doesn't AMD put 10 Ryzen dies on a package for a 80 thread CPU?

It's so fucking gay that CPU guys just keep trying to make shit smaller. Give me a CPU the size of a fucking book with massive power.
kthxbye

Is the CCNA a meme or will it actually help me find some employment?
>>60679604
Do you have a degree?
>>60679614
Yes, comp sci
>>60679618
actual knowledge is always worth more than a certificate
even when certificate is based on a hands-on exam
and CCNA isn't (i.e. it's shit)
Hello fellas
Just got myself an lg6 g6
Pretty solid phone , but i noticed that its ear speaker makes a quiet static buzz when the display is on
Has anyone experienced this and knows how to fix it?
Give it back, Franshawn.

What are you working on /g/?

First for Fortran and C.
I just got bitten by https://github.com/expressjs/express/issues/2495.
The docs said nothing about this. It's existed for 2 years. It rears its head during incredibly basic usage (literally the first time I've used this feature). And this is entirely normal for a widely-used library on NPM, because I've found crap like this in the other libraries I'm using.
EVERYTHING IN THE NODE ECOSYSTEM IS BROKEN AND I HATE IT
It's been a while since I've seen this on /g/.
Devuan release is out and a nokia n900 image is avaible. I grabbed my dusty n900 and gave the image a try. I works! I had to resize the the root partition to fit the whole card size but other than that it's good. How many years have it been since I wished for a propper debian installation for it? Well, it's devuan but close enough. I'm kinda happy now.
>>60679822
now what?
>>60679822
Can you still use it as a phone?
Aside from that what do you intend to do with it? Browsing is probably a pain since the hardwAre specs are so low. I cant imagine carrying it around as a portable ssh terminal considering your phone can do that without the need of an additional device.
Has this brought new life to the device at all aside from the initial excitement?

Post your component list; rate other anons'; ask questions in general.
>Assemble your parts list with price comparisons & compatibility filter.
https://pcpartpicker.com/
THEN state the PURPOSE of your PC & BUDGET. State COUNTRY if not USA.
List GAMES/SOFTWARE you use often. List resolution & hz if gaming.
Seeking build improvements? Clarify goal: lower price or improved specs?

CPUs:
>G4560 - budget builds (<$500) unless G4600/G4620/i3-7100 is heavily discounted
>R5 1500x - generally all you need for 60fps with power to spare. No i5
>R5 1600 - best value for higher fps gaming & mixed usage; 1600x if you too lazy to OC
>i7-7700k - bad value but good for higher FPS; may have heat issues
>R7/Xeon/Threadripper/i9 - compute/Multitask/mixed use
Graphics:
>G4560 iGPU is fine for desktop stuff and very light game
>1050/Ti for low budget. Drop settings if not Freesync/Gsync on newer games; RX560 if discounted
>RX570 4GB - 1080p@60+hz, running most maxed; older games at 144+hz
>RX580 8GB - 1440p@60+hz, inject SMAA & drop settings for some games
>1060 - Generally outperformed by the RX 580 and GSync costs more; consider only if AMD is not an option (ie CUDA)
>1070 - 1080p@90-144hz/1440p@100+hz
>1080 - 1080p@100-144+hz maxed; 1440p at lower hz.
>1080Ti - 1440p@90-144+hz; 4k@60hz in SOME games, more at lower settings

Is It even possible to overclock m-atx motherboard?
No decent cooler seems to fit without punching ram and graphic. +matx cases do not support 160mm coolers in general so you gotta go with
h7 cryorig or similiar shit.
>>60679283
It's just a repurposed server socket, threadripper CPUs do not need as much pin but the regular AM4 1100~ pins aren't enough for it still
Also, even an R5 1600 is ahead of a 7700k in performance, unless you're talking gaming but Threadripper (nor R7) aren't made for gaming.
And Threadripper CPUs will most likely perform the same as a 1700 considering the rumored clocks
What's the benefit of higher allocation unit size for NTFS? What should I even look at when comparing different sizes?
Less fragmentation. Set it to 64k.
Higher sizes give slightly higher read/write speeds at the cost of hard disk space.
For instance if you use 8KB block sizes then even if you only need 4KB to store a file the disk will still reserve 8KB so you wasted an additional 4KB to store that 4KB.

Just that fucking start menu I hate and the two control panels, other than that, it's the same but faster............
smart people have both, along with a loonix partition in case things go tits up

Hey /g/, will I be able to use pic related to power my ryzen r5 1600 or am I fucked?
>>60679005
That cable is for PCI express devices, not CPU power.
Also, AMD poorfag stereotype.
>>60679043
So, thats a no?
>>60679005
Dude look at the fucking cable. That won't even fit in the right spot.
Hi guys,
I'm thinking about upgrading my computer. I'll need a motherboard, a processor and a graphic card. Probably Ram memory too, I only have 8 right now.
I don't want to have the best stuff, I just want to be able to play in 60 FPS on games like GTA5.
What would you recommend me? Parts that fit together.

Hi can someone tell me if I can upgrade the CPU. Pajeet from support didn't do shit. It's a toshiba radius 11 thanks

Fucking retard. Google it, you idiot.

>all that tape
lmao

By the shitty battery i can tell its a Atom/Celeron CPU, which means no.
what is a rational, real reason to use anything other than pic related?
Deluge better integrates with GNOME.
>Stalled
There are a couple, like if you don't require UI, or need something with a smaller footprint like transmission, or need a daemon. Bitorrent clients have very good open-source alternatives to choose from.
