What's the point of using a distro like Ubuntu, Manjaro etc (a distro based on another distro) when you can just use the original?

Fuck that faggot communist.
He's not even got a PhD but calls himself 'Doctor' because of honorary doctorates from mostly South American institutions.
It's like calling Kanye West Doctor West.
Leftists are all faggots.

Heard some companies don't give a fuck about degrees. Is it true? Already enrolled in edX for python. Any self taught programmers or webdevs here that made a career out of this? Can someone self taught be at the same level as skill as someone who went to school for this?
I'm studying for an A+ cert right now, and then I'll be doing CCNA after that.
I got sick and tired of all the bullshit classes I have to take, the restrictions on when I can take them, the pointless multiple choice tests. Just a massive waste of time and money all around.

It's actually better than school (French ones at least), I learned a lot more by myself in 6 months than in school in 2 years... Also, there's everything you'd like learning on internet
>>58759721
google contacted me regarding a software engineering position last year
I have no formal programming education and have taught myself programming from python to C on my own, and learned linux and unix on my own
I turned it down, but the point is that if you teach yourself programming and actually get good at it, then make yourself and your projects visible (twitter, personal website, github), you'll be very marketable in a booming industry
Does Eli the computer guy from YouTube know what he's talking about?
Most of his content I say.

Who cares?
sjws and trannies and faggots and feminists and all other attention-whoring retards should be ignored and chased back to the fringes of society where they came from.
If their behavior forces a response then the only correct response is scorn and derision.
Now get out.

>RMS's comments about emacs virgins is especially offensive to me. Not only is it sexist in general (and directed at me, because I don't use emacs), but also offensive towards my sexuality. His statement implies that men are supposed to have sex with virgin women, and that women only lose their virginity to men. To this day, I've only ever been in lesbian relationships, although I am bi. I lost my virginity to a woman. I find it extremely insulting when someone assumes that I only like men, or that I'm generally interested in men. The woman that I lost my virginity to also happens to be a Vim user, and she is indeed an emacs virgin, like me.

Hi, I'm relativity new to the coding scene and I was wondering if there are any decent platforms for learning C++ in depth. I've gotten the basics down by myself but I find it difficult to find any websites that explain memory allocation and stuff such as that in simple english. Please send help (Pic for attention)
Buy or pirate a copy of this.
Start at Ch.1 and go all the way through, and do every exercise.

thanks for making a whole thread for this question

Mhmmm...
What's there to be confused about? It's insanely simple. You need to allocate memory on the heap dynamically when you need it, and then deallocate it when you're done so you don't have memory leaks in your software.
Why is "free" software always playing catch-up?
because it's free you dumbass

All drivers are in mainline kernel and there is no closed-source firmware with the exception of the Mali GPU driver.
It will be launched at FOSDEM 2017 later this month.

Didn't he use Yeeloong Lemote, which can't run emacs on Gnome without stuttering every three seconds, for years?

>with the exception of the Mali GPU driver.
So, without that, will it not be able to do 3d acceleration or no video out at all?
How bout throw on a FPGA GPU onto the board for lulz?
