That's a really neat piece. I'm glad servicing it didn't turn out to be as much of a headache as I'd been led to believe they were.

>Although the 41mm size of the Heritage Ranger is modern, Tudor kept the little details that makes collectors love the original Ranger so much. Right from the beginning you'll notice how matte the overall appearance of the watch is. The case is brushed all over and the dial does not have any metallic surrounds on the markers – the luminous numbers and batons are printed right onto the dial, keeping the overall look much softer. The pear-shaped hands are another nod to the original Ranger and the red seconds hand with a paddle tip adds a little color without becoming overwhelming The domed crystal and dial are a subtle touch that gives some additional personality to the watch.

Any good reason not to get a metal automatic Swatch for $100?
I found a game I wrote in LISP a few years back where I used no global variables. Instead I put everything in a hash table "world" that I passed as an argument to various update functions that returned a new hash table with the new values. There was only one assignment statement of the form (setf world (update world)) in the main game loop.
The game ran like crap. Should I have used global variables instead?
>>59942428
>(setf world (update world))
Why would you use SETF if your (update world) function returns a new world value?
Obviously if you go with the "copy everything" mentality you incur a speed and memory penalty for it. But your (should) have fewer bugs.
Global variables are not always evil, the point is to segregate functions that modify them from functions that do not modify anything outside of themselves.
Also, your game could have had other issues besides a giant hash that would cause it to run slow.
>>59942428
There's some pretty good discussion about this in K&R, isn't there one in your religion's scripture?
>>59942428
global vars are ALWAYS evil because they introduce global state. Managing state is a hard problem, and if it's even global - u r in some deep, deep shit.
Usually, if you ever need to access some state globally - you want a DB. If you want it in memory - add caching.
Simple as that.
I've almost finished my first year in maths and computer science at a shit tier uni and I need advice on what I can do now to make myself more employable after I graduate. Current to do list is look at VCS like git and attempt to contribute to some open source projects.
>>59942392
I hope you don't contribute to open source projects, someone who isn't very experienced in version control can't do much in an active project.
Make your own stuff and make it open source, if its interesting enough other people will want to help
>>59942725
I didn't plan on jumping straight into open source shit I'm not that much of a retard. I'm talking about stuff to do over the next 3 years before I graduate.
>>59942392
I recommend, getting some sort of work experience.
Excluding subject, allot of uni leavers find it difficult to get jobs due to having now experience in the workplace.
As for subject related stuff, do something at home or with others related specifically with what you wish to do with your qualifications.
This proves that you're enthusiastic, which in the very least is something sought after considerably by tech employers here in the UK.

Does anyone here print their own stickers? I was looking at label makers, but most of the affordable color ones are limited to two or three tones at most, because theyre using a thermal process on pre-colored sheets. Dye-sublimation is super expensive! And inkjet printing on sticker paper leads to a low-quality, easily damaged sticker. Maybe some of you have tried those photo printers that have sticker packs? I guess i could always screen print, but that's messy and a big hassle. Your thoughts? Also, stickers general

What's the best way to set up a VNC server so I can access a Windows computer on my home network from outside the network safely? Is connecting through an SSH tunnel still the safest bet? Or is there a more sophisticated solution?
>>59942293
depend on what you are trying to do ssh might surfice. but an ssh tunnel would be the best bet.
>>59942328
Thanks, it's just a basic VNC session, nothing too fancy. The thing is I got majorly spooked about a week ago.
>have a VNC server set up on my desktop so I can check on various things from my laptop
>hear a ding from server computer, indicating someone had connected to the server
>2 Users Connected
>Only my laptop is supposed to be connected
>Shut down everything and check to see if anything was modified
Luckily I heard that noise and shut down the server a few seconds later. I had thought the server was only set up to work within my local network, but apparently not.

Define powerful?
Powerful for its functionality or powerful because nobody wants to disrupt the language and spend resources on teaching Pajeets how to copy and paste in a new language.

Has anyone used any of the distros in this list:
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html
Are they autistic, or do they just werk?
Thinking of doing some light browsing, etc ...
>>59941910
to be recommended by fsf you can't have any nonfree software available and as a technicality you can't officially provide help documentation to people that want to install nonfree software, this isn't a problem if you know your shit but it is a problem if you're using, say, trisquel, and just want something from some ubuntu ppa but you don't use ubuntu normally and it isn't working for some obscure reason and want to ask for help on the forums, nobody will help you: 'why would you want that?!'
this alone makes most of the choices pretty autistic
I'll try to summarise some of the distros on the list:
blag: based on an ANCIENT version of fedora, with the 'beta' version of blag being based on an ANCIENT version of fedora, has fuck all development
gnewsense: an okay distro if we were in 2006, even stallman stopped using it in favour of trisquel, has fuck all development
guix: probably reasonable and is fairly new but I can't say
parabola: based on arch, one of two distros on this list you'll likely end up using (if you go this route)
trisquel: based on ubuntu, the second on the list you'll likely end up using
ututo xs: based on gentoo, documentation is only in spanish, has fuck all development
if you just want a fully foss distro you can roll your own fedora media with linux-libre fairly easily, or you can use debian which is actually foss out of the box (as it uses the linux-libre kernel) and only has nonfree software in the nonfree repos, otherwise you're basically limited to parabola (based on arch) or trisquel (based on ubuntu), the choice is yours
thx alot for the info, and gr8 answer
it is always a pleasure to get an answer like this !!!
i am using debian, among others, right now, so might stick with that ...
(or maybe give Trisquel a try)
>>59941910
Trisquel is a very nice out-of-the-box distro. Parabola is basically Arch without non-free packages. Can't comment on the other ones as I haven't used them.
Is 91% isopropyl alcohol safe for electronics? I used some 91% to clean my CPU and now I'm paranoid.
Should I have opted for 99%
Jesus Christ... I bet it wasn't even isopropyl.
Enjoy your corrosion and pitting.
you do realize the 9% not isoprop. is water, right?
91 will be fine, it will just take slightly longer to dry. I've never taken it to a CPU, but use it on circuit boards all the time.
>download Waterfox
>slower than Firefox
explain
waterfox is a meme
>>59941639
>explain
Exactly the same as firefox with a few different compil flags and a lot of placebo
>>59941639
I thought support for it dropped 100% since firefox released stable x64 like a year ago, I've stopped using waterfox that same day, why would you care about it anymore?
What was the Internet like in the 90's? I'm only 21-years-old so I don't remember much from the late 90's and early 2000's (although I do remember going on my father's PC and playing some games) and some stuff like dial-up and AIM.
However -- can some oldfaggots tell me what the 90's Web was like? What was like the 4chan of the 90's? YouTube? Google? Facebook? Some of the best forums of the 90's? How fast did pages load? Just redpill me on the 90's Internet.
>>59941596
Slow, in terms of connection speed and also the updating of the sites themselves.
But to focus on these things is to miss the point entirely.
Much like with the increase in power of our computers isn't felt because of the massive amounts of bloat, so to is the internet not as fast as it should be because of the same reason.
>>59941596
Everyone used screen names. We all were taught "Do not EVER give ANY website your personal information", so seeing this whole social media wave come in was pretty surreal
Sites were further apart and less advertised. There was no "Everyone is on $site", we just had really long Favorites lists since you couldn't really subscribe or follow anything until RSS came along
Pages were typically static blog-style content with the occasional Flash animation.
>>59941596
Web rings and manual web indexes.
Lots of self-hosted blogs and research.
Mind you, my only experience was midway through it, it was apparently much different even 5~ years before I had it.
>buy RYZEN
>no AVX512
>no 1 cycle POPCNT
cucked again fellas
Now you're just upset uo for the superiority of Zen+. Which will include AVX512.
And since the single cycle POPCNT is just an SSE4 instruction, it is supported.
And if it's for a Gentoo hardened Virtualbox, well...
