is v-moda good?
I wanna learn R and Python from scratch. Where should I start? I don't have much trouble understanding the work of functions and different syntaxes, but I'm completely clueless as to R and semi-clueless as to Python.
Another, less important question - what's so hard about fizzbuzz? It feels like it's somethng you can do after 30 minutes of learning to anykey in any modern programming language. Is fizzbuzz being hard a meme or is there some sort of complicated optimization subtext I'm not aware of because I'm a normie?
>>59226308
Clueless, as in I haven't started learning them yet. Not as in I can't understand what's going on.
Not -that- stupid.
Hello,
I'm looking to get a new CPU by the end of March . I was waiting for the Ryzen cpu's but I'm conflicted on whether I should buy a r7 1800x or i7 7700k. It'll be the same price all in all. i7 + motherboard = 500$, r7 1800x is ~500$ here as well.
What would be the better choice?
Apart from CS:GO streaming I don't do much else.
Going to get the GTX 1080ti once it comes out as well. What would be the better combo?
>>59226179
7700k. single core is very important in csgo
Is it worth upgrading from a i7 2600k? I've got a r9 280x currently as graphics card as well.
Is Ardour worth anyone's time if they want to get into music production? Any freedom respecting alternatives? Or should I just use something like Ableton and Bitwig
>>59226130
I mostly use Reaper but have experimented with Ardour. Once you get passed the learning curve, it's doable to produce good quality stuff with it. It has it setbacks, though. For example, it's undo/redo glitches are really fucking annoying.
>>59226130
Bitwig is pretty amazing for Linux, actually made me switch because now everything I need is supported by Loonix. Ableton still has the best/most simplistic UI but apart from that they're almost the same.
Lets be honest, Linux will never succeed as a desktop OS, never

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.
It already has. As long as it works for me (which it does) then I don't give a shit what other people think of it.

If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine.
1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or Mac.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

Distro that just werks and it looks and works good enough out of the box. Can't spend time on customizing it is for uni work, I'm going to install it on a VM. Ubuntu or fedora? Or others?
>>59224925
I would say debian or mint

The guy that did those "totally biased 1080p benchmarks with a 2050mhz overclocked GTX 1080" did new ones at 720p since people were bitching so much.

Results seem okay. It seems he really does just have a better running Ryzen, which seems down to him getting a Gigabyte board while some MSI, ASRock, and Asus boards seem to have problems?
Others reviewers were getting only like 117fps in Rise of the Tomb Raider on Ryzen, for example, while his CPU capped average is like 138fps (which is around what the 7700k gets in 1080p).
It seems, in general, his performance and computerbase.de and some others that got a Gigabyte board is just 10% better than most of these others benchmarks and that 1080p performance really is similar with current GPUs in the majority of games and that Ryzen actually does have better consistency and lower frame delay on average.
Personally, I think he should have done an SMT disabled and HT disabled test. HT is working properly in software and gets Intel 20-50% benefits in some games. SMT is currently dropping Ryzen performance 8-12% varying by game.
Still does pretty shit in GTA5 and Tomb Raider, but the frame consistancy is better in GTA5.
Hopefully Prey launches with Ryzen optimizations and Windows gets its update so we can see better benchmarks soon.
>watchdogs 2 utilizing all 8 cores / 16 threads
>still slower than 7700k
>>59224155
All benchmarks are shit until the mainboards get better and stable BIOS and Microsoft updates the scheduler of Windows.
>>59224245
That is probably due to SMT reducing performance due to software bugs. There's confirmed bugs where SMT is making the two threads fight for resources inefficiently in gaming even though it works great in Cinebench and so on.
Ideally he should have done a test with both SMT and HT disabled.
This thread is about the appreciation of watches, as well as the micro-engineering and materials engineering that are required to make a fine watch.

Which?
How long would your passwords and protected keys last under an offline attack?
Pic related, "T3st1ng~" wouldn't even last a second mangled with SHA2. There are USB hashers capable of billions of hashes/s. Single GPU assisted methods can try upwards of billions hashes per second. Such methods cost mere hundreds to implements, meaning near everyone, not just letter agencies, are capable of brute forcing your passwords.
>https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/209/zxcvbn/test/index.html
Passphrases are the way to go. Way harder to crack and infinitely more memorable.
>>59224259
Using a password manager and long, randomly-generated passwords is the way to go.
>>59224287
Well yeah, but with the master password being a passphrase.

Going back to vim. What a waste of time.
Autistic editor hate thread.
I fucked around with it as well. Literally couldn't manage to bind undo to a different key. That being said, vim configuration is pretty awful too.
Emacs stuff is hella confusing, but like all lisp things, probably really wizardy, fancy and sophisticated once you understand it.
>>59222496
>combining the worst of both worlds
At least with vim the documentation is correct and what is written also works. You can copy/paste the documentation for this garbage into spacemacs config and it doesn't even work.
