Any programmer made the switch from a desktop to a laptop ?
Is a 14" screen enough to work on ?
What about neck/back pain of having to work with your head always tilted forward ?
Are you working with the laptop on a table exclusively or do you work on couch / bed / etc. ?
What about the trackpad use ? Do you still use a mouse ?
I've been programming on my laptop for years now. A year or so ago I switched to writing code while "in" bed. I have a relatively small stand that I can put my feet under, I put my laptop on and hack away.
>not exclusively coding on a phone
Resolution matters more than screen size, go for at least 1920x1080; go for a 16:10 screen if you can. Get something with a comfortable keyboard; those MacBook style keyboards are hard as hell and will really start to wear on your fingers. You'll do most of your work on a table because being on a bed will just make you browse 4chan. A programmer should not be using a mouse or track pad at all.
In any case, the keyboard/screen combo you want doesn't exist anymore and there are no good modern programming laptops.
Pay $10 more get a 1080ti, pay $20 less get a 1080 with factory waterblock.

Ayy /g/ bois I need some quality banter discussing VPNs
Currently looking at NordVPN, as I'm looking for an unlimited bandwidth and relatively cheap service.
2 years for usd $79 is quite appealing.
Any experiences? Other suggested VPNs?

I have Nord.
Give me a torrent you want me to test for speeds.
Also I think you can get Nord for $72 for 2yrs.
>>62097724
I have asked them whether they offer port forwarding. They said no.
They have specialized servers for torrenting, but those only allow you to download torrents, not upload them.
You also can't host any game servers or anything else that requires port forwarding.
Thoughts on python?
pros: minimalistic, no semicolons, whitespace matters, snake_case, good ecosystem for scientific stuff
cons: too much "magic", strange syntax sometimes, hard to debug (this is common for all dynamic language), 2 vs 3 problem
I really hate the __keyword__ pattern. It is ugly.

The logo is an obese man. Like most of the users.
My hotel has an iMac in the lounge and I tried it out.
I’m not sure how exactly to put it but it just felt like a premium, superior product to windows.
The screen and computer itself is much more aesthetic. The screen seems much better.The layout feels better and more aesthetic.
Is Mac just superior? Sure PCs are cheaper but if you have the money does Mac just offer something PC doesn’t, as a premium luxury product?
>>62097253
>windows is a product
stopped taking you serious right here

You can build a better PC. I dont know about pre-built pcs. Also Windows 10 feels premium out of the box, but you can customize it with rocketdock and what not
>>62097279
>not caring about aesthetics
You are such a weirdo anon
>>62097279
>windows is a service
Huh...?
Just imagine you build a neural network that can learn how to emulate any system on PC.
So you load the COD PS4 ISO and the COD PC ISO.
The network will learn how to convert the PS4 version into the PC version.
After other samples, your network will be trained to convert PS4 ISO into PC ISO.
Then load the PS4 Uncharted ISO => converts to Uncharted PC ISO.
Profit.
Get on it then, faget.
lol d00d just imagine broooo

I've never been able to wear earbuds. They constantly fall out, I can never get them to fit securely. I'm tired of wasting money buying new pairs and new cushions etc on shit that never works.
I'm holding pic related. What can I do to be able to wear these?
>>62096514
just buy on ear headphones?
>>62096530
this, or just find some earbuds that have hooks for you to place them around your ear, like the MEE M6 Pros
>>62096530
I'd try, but bluetooth on-ear headphones don't exist
What's the difference between C, C++ and C#?
I never learned any of those and they seem to be very popular.
>>62096509
C is the base language, no OO.
C++ is an attempt at making OO
C# is another attempt at making it OO and slow, but safer than C++.
>>62096523
>C
Also known as "portable AMS"
>C++
Adds OOP, every c program is a valid c++ program
>C#
Adds memory safety and a few nice features (has a drawback draw back, it runs on a tin VM)
C is an old high level language built for embedded systems and drivers (usually) but it can be used for anything.
C++ Is a high level language that incorporates object oriented programming, quite fast but unsafe.
C# is slower but safer than C++ but it's safer.
