What do you think about coding classes being in elementary school?
>>59489083
at least some of them use thinkpads
>>59489083
Poor quality coders will flood the market putting thousands of autists out blinking in the sunlight for the first time ever.
If schoolkids are learning to code it's time for coders to learn something else.
>>59489083
Children should be taught code like a language. They should learn the fundamentals of how to read and understand html and a scripting language like python.
Instead, these classes involve kids playing terrible games that reveal part software code if they win and people pretend like they're going to make the next mineecrafta with their coding skills. They're wasting kid's time.
to be clear from the start, i have zero knowledge or experience in what i want to do, and am really hoping there's a shortcut somewhere.
basically, my sister has always played these generic hidden object games - not even really games, given skill is minimal and success one-path-only. that said, i've noticed some of them have really nice art, in both backgrounds and item design. i wouldn't mind getting my hand on their art for my own nerdy-ass hobby, tabletop gaming.
i'd just take screenshots, but the ui and extraneous elements are often in the way, plus i don't actually want to slog through some mindless gameplay if i don't have to.
i did some looking around, but the stuff i found was all for distinctly more complicated games. i've got no idea if there's some sort of universal engine those games use, or a house one, but i'd wager the former. they seem very cookie-cutter. i've got a pile of .exe files sent over from my sister's collection.
tl;dr is there a convenient way to rip assets from exe files?
>>59489045
you can extract the contents of exe files by using 7zip
If a bunch of those games are from a common developer, their may be a common engine, you could try looking around in the game and documentation and stuff online to see what engine it is, and from that try to see if anyone's developed a resource extractor for whatever data format it uses. Otherwise you could try googling for various generic EXE resource extractors and using them to examine the various EXE or DLL files the games use. If the resources are encrypted or compressed there isn't much you can do (because distinguishing machine code from encrypted data is almost impossible without professional-quality tools), but if there's any images stored plainly in the binaries it shouldn't be too hard to extract it.
>>59489072
tried it with a random game, got 'cannot open file as archive'.
>>59489114
did a little searching around, and it turns out they do seem to use individual engines per company - color me surprised.
Just fell for the chinkpad anti-meme. How bad did I do?

You committed the fundamental mistake by buying new and modern

At what point should I consider upgrading my 4.0 processor to keep up with a 1080ti?
I have an intel I7 6700 4.0 ghz
>>59488853
7700K has no IPC improvements, and you'll hit roughly the same overclock (4.9-5ghz) if you delid your 6700K
In summary nope
>>59489146
This.
The only improvement worth noticing in kaby lake's improvement is the integrated graphics. It makes last gen Intel CPU only relevant in laptops.
Elsewhere if you have an OK GPU, you're better off using the 6th gen intel and save some money for other / later upgrades

What is /g/ expecting from Vega?
Expected a full lineup that would be alot better than poolaris, instead we will get a poolaris rebrand and a Fury rebrand that only that has Vega tech. Sad!
>>59488525
I'm going in expecting nothing, because I feel like if I expect anything, I'll just end up disappointed.
>>59488525
Overhyped cringe ads, faster than 1080, slower than 1080ti/TitanXP, draw more power/hotter, waitâ„¢ for better driver.
Fury 2.0 tier.
Why waste time with confusing and obtuse shit like Linux when you could just use Windows 7 and never have a problem with anything?
>>59488453
I use Debian and it just works.
But powershell is useless OP.

If they are electrostatic they'd work fine, but need a subwoofer since they produce almost zero bass

Not sure what that means in this context (speakers)

Humans were a mistake.
>The biggest benefit may be from substantially increasing the amount of physical memory in a server: 2 socket Xeon systems can hold up to 3TB of RAM, but 24TB of Optane, and 4 socket systems support up to 12TB RAM, but 48TB Optane. This could be a huge boost for applications that need truly enormous quantities of memory.
So Intel just released a product that is basically aimed to compensate for low Xeon memory speed and capacity.
When they started R&D on optane in 2014, they probably didn't thought AMD would render it obsolete 1 month before it's release.
>>59488275
Optane is quite possibly the biggest product release fuckup Intel has ever pulled off.
lol you obviously don't work anywhere near a datacenter or have anything to do with hardware
AMD doesn't come near servers, anon...
>>59488275
Optane is not as good as ram.
Optane isn't faster than a NVMe pcieX4 SSD.
Optane will end up just filling the gap until Intel manage to add more memory lanes to their Xeon CPU.
>Or until AMD gain traction in the server market.
Let's say that I discovered some code that is indeed a backdoor in whatever program I was using. If I rewrote that piece of code to where it was no longer any threat and re-released it to the public, is there a risk of repercussions from the government agencies that put it there in the first place?
Hypothetical solution: don't get caught.
>>59488117
I would like to lick her backdoor if you know what I mean.

Are you a data hoarder /g/?
I certainly am, I try to be organized about it but I have a nagging constant habit of archiving data that I find all over 4chan and the internet in general. Everything from silly images I find funny that get saved in board/subject specific folders to obscure utilities, programs, and patches for things like old video games or applications that either are made better by them or don't work in some environments without them.
Pdf files from all over, videos I feel may be deleted or taken down, anything and everything really I just feel like keeping and storing for decades to come and I'm really not entirely sure why I do it. People I know come to me first when they look for something specific after trying to google it and it makes me feel quite useful. Do any of you do this?
>>59488010
Setup a ftp and let us look through it senpai. Thatd be pretty great of you desu
I get by pretty easily on a 500gb SSD. My clover folder on my phone is huge because I keep putting off sorting it out though.
no. there's no point to it. life is ephemeral and short
people who try to make things last forever (e.g. insist on collecting their photographs, maintaining a music collection, or in your case, hoarding random data that's literally not worth anything even on a sentimental level) are just afraid of confronting their own mortality
