I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I would be more okay with how gross she is if she was also as smart as Wendell, but she's clearly not. You can tell by her phrasing in the PC giveaway they did a while back. She was calling everything by weird almost-correct names, like she had just read a script before the show or something.

Hey /g/,
How do you deal with terribly written code and a company that doesn't really follow good practices?
The current company I am at has a pretty large C++ code base where the code quality is pretty terrible. None of the code seems to even have any unit testing or any other type of automated testing. What can I do to improve my situation? This situation really makes me frustrated.

Find out if you are allowed to refactor; if not, see above.

took me forever just to be able to get this job though, quitting so early would be pretty bad.
>Find out if you are allowed to refactor; if not, see above.
I can probably refactor some parts, but there is plenty I can't touch. It is also difficult to do while working on new features or fixing bugs. Also there is no testing, the design doesn't make it that easy to create tests for.
>>
>>59709781
depending on the structure you might be able to rewrite certain parts and piece them in. eventually you'll have a lot of it rewritten, then just explain that you have something better and maybe they'll switch. either way it doesn't really matter. it's their money and if they want crap they can keep it.

Former Applefag in the process of converting. I already bought into the Thinkpad meme so now I'm switching phones. Should I get the Blackberry Classic or Passport?

Classic
>>
Passport looks retarded
Get classic
also since this is a blackberry thread, does classic support whatsapp? will it keep supporting whatsapp in next 5 or so years? are there any phones with similar form that support whatsapp?
>>
>>59709510
Classic gets more use out of its trackpad, the Passport's is only good for some gestures, scrolling, and zooming. You can move the cursor when editing text too. Passport's got 4x the resolution and lacks wireless charging unless you get the AT&T model, I believe the Classic has it standard but don't quote me on it. Personally I went for the Passport but the screen's cracked and I think I'm going to get a Classic to try it out instead of fixing it. Q10's the best of the three imo due to its size, removable battery, and micro HDMI port.
>>59711072
Passport's the most aesthetic phone to hit the market. WhatsApp no longer supports BB10OS but you can use the Android version, you lose the Hub integration though.

Have a budget of around $200. Preferably a bit under but may be willing to spend more. Need a general purpose multi meter for messing around with various projects. Only real requirement I want is very fast continuity beeper so I can drag the test leads across fine pitch legs.
I'm looking at the Fluke 117. Any other recommendations?

I usually just buy clamp on multi meters for work (HVAC)
The real only difference that i've seen in a higher price range is to be able to read high voltage/ amps. Do you really need this?

Clamp on multimeters are a bit useless for a hobbyist. 99% of what I need is accurate DC voltage readings and continuity beeper.

There's not reason to shut down GNU+Linux.

>>59709323
Embrace systemd and use systemctl poweroff. Its consistent with systemctl suspend and hybernate.
