Firefox to hard require pulseaudio by version 52.

Firefox is already in its death throes, and I've switched to a fork that will probably keep alsa.
I have nothing to fear, they can't hurt me anymore
>>58801734
Well, no reason to use firefox at all once 45 support dies.
>>58801734
They know they're fucked in the end, might as well make extra dead so nobody uses it and they can drop support and rebrand as an internet safe space provider.
rest in rip firefox, may you be forked to eternity
Is this true?

This is what kids think when they learn how to make hello world in C++ for the first time
>>58801552
Replace C++ with pic related and it is
C++ IS TRASH
Write a program that reads a file and creates some objects of types X and Y, then put those objects in the same container. Now iterate over that container the object is of type X call method A, if the object is of type Y call method B. Now pass that container around make copies of it and the like.
Now in a separate file to where you defined X and Y (or a common supercalass) extend them with a method C.
Here's something a bit harder: Read a file with C++ program text into a string. Now compile that string into a function and call it.
Finally write a function that accepts as its argument another, arbitrary, function (which returns a numerical value), and an argument number (assume the argument is numerical), and returns a function which is that functions derivative with respect to the argument number.

Why is this the only tech podcast that doesn't put one to sleep? Why are techies so goddamn incompetent at presenting their craft in an engaging way?
Downloading now and if I fall asleep I'll find you and turn you soft white ass into a medieval battlefield
Requirements for a good podcast:
>hosts with deep masculine voice
>using $100+ mics
>know the basics of audio production (especially compression)
that's before we even scratch the surface of content and style. 95% of podcasts are unlistenable by those standards alone.
i agree, babbage is the only tech podcast i listen to. But i have not searched hard for any others.

Not anymore. Just switch to TTY, Open Vim on Tmux, and if you want to read a pdf use$less /path/to/book.pdf
THIS is how you can stay productive. You don't need X.

I understand this is a pretty common question, but everywhere on the internet has different opinions on this. So why am I asking here? Because of the easy access.
I have SOME knowledge of Python. I would rather say I'm an absolute beginner with no prior experience because I didn't get that far into learning it.
So of course I'll be reading everybody's responses, but where do I start, how should I go about it, and what are good languages to learn first
Mandatory reading
>>58801037
Fuck that's actually pretty deep. Unfortunately I don't have this problem and simply love computers and want to learn more.
>>58801019
It depends on <em>why</em> you want to learn how to write code.
So first, ask yourself: why do I want to learn how to code?
What do you want to achieve through writing code? Do you want to make websites, games?

There is networking now?
there are already 5 templeos threads
A friend gave me his sons laptop as punishment for throwing it down the stairs when he got pissed playing minecraft. The thing is pretty much fucked, but it has a 4K display, 15" which I have tested to be functional.
Is it worth salvaging, and making it into a monitor, it or flip the display on ebay? I already have a control board that works with it.
Use it for DIY project?
Look at the Ben Heck show on YouTube and get some ideas.

Tell him its because you actually do shit on your computer
It's easy to learn, hard to forget.
That's my motto.
Come for the answers, stay for the friendly conversation!
Rec me a Native 720 and up projector that can display at 24 Hz.
>>58800875
if you want to get a movie feel then you need a 48hz projector because on movies each frame is actually shown twice
I'm a heavy sleeper and the concurrent alarms of my 2 phones can't wake me up.
I also work in IT so overtimes are expected (like I sometimes go home by 11pm) and needs to be at work before 8am.
How can I train myself to have a body clock so I can wake up by ~5am?
I am already drinking lots of water before going to bed and just this morning I only woke up just after the last snooze of my alarm (50 mins after alarm starts)
This is serious business, btw.
Guess the programming language and help out a fellow anon
OK so my boss has been paying this guy $100,000 per year to maintain software written by my boss's father in the 1980s. It's accounting software for a loan business. It runs on red hat linux and from what I can tell the program is not very big. Well, the programmer has been taking tons of days off and basically not doing shit and only works from home now. My boss let me make our website and I had to go out and learn html/css/server setup etc...
now he is talking about giving me the chance to maintain this software, I told him "I barely know how to run our website it would take me a long time to learn whatever language this program is written in". He said "that's fine ill pay for the classes my father was not a programmer and he wrote this in 6 months 20 years ago we just need it maintained"
would I be crazy to try to take this on, I know the program runs on a redhat linux server but that is all i know,
any guesses on what language it would have been written in? I'm guessing "C"?
He's offering me more than double the pay if i take on the job... is this a crazy hairbrained idea?
but how can i say no?
>>58800781
C or FORTRAN are my guesses
>>58800781
COBOL?
>>58800797
how feasible is it for me to try to take on maintaining this program from a blank start? (I can code some ruby and java but that's about it and only for web stuff)
my boss trusts that i will work hard to learn and come in every day and give him progress reports on how I am coming along, that is why he is offering this to me, that's what I did with the website and I eventually got it working
is it possible for me to even do this?
the whole company runs on this software
