What's the use of ruby, python and java in web development?

>>60855502
server side logic, see rails, django, jsp.

>>60855610
I have only used html/css/js until now, what's that server side logic?

All my server does with my test page is serve the files as requested.

>>60855647
you make reddit
how do you keep users logins, passwords, comments history...

>>60855647
it's used for dynamic generated pages.

html/css/js is the end result the client sees, but application logic is usually on the server.

take 4chan for example, you request a thread and it returns you a page with all current posts fetched from a database.

>>60855672
Whoa so that's a completely different thing than what's taught to beginners.

So then every piece of content is kept into a database, fetched then put into the html and served?

How exactly do you store a bunch of text of an article for example? Using "text" instead of "varchar" in mysql?

>>60855725
it depends, you can't generalize this.
if you have large chunks of text then a text optimized database field is what you want.

You have to consider that not all databases are SQL based, some for instance use a JSON format which gives fuck all about what is stored inside as long as it's properly formated.

So it should be Spring for Java then.

Now I go to their website and this is what I find:

Wel... I go the the help pages:
https://spring.io/understanding/REST
>REST (Representational State Transfer) was introduced and defined in 2000 by Roy Fielding in his doctoral dissertation. REST is an architectural style for designing distributed systems. It is not a standard but a set of constraints, such as being stateless, having a client/server relationship, and a uniform interface. REST is not strictly related to HTTP, but it is most commonly associated with it.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Am I asking a stupid question right now?

I'm searching the best options for voice recognition on Linux.

I want it to be able to understand me even if it's not connected to the internet.
I'm fine with it only understanding predefined commands, it doesn't have to understand everything I say.
I want it to be able to pipe recognized commands into some bash script or some other way I can use the results.

Any ideas?

>>60857234
Lossless compression for music.

FLAC files are smaller than the raw audiostream/wav files but larger than mp3s and other such types.

So I'm thinking of switching to Wayland, but I want to keep urxvtd
What's the xinitrc equivalent to Wayland? Alternatively, if someone knows a way of getting it to work with systemd, except with the ability to control systemctl power commands (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rxvt-unicode/Tips_and_tricks#systemd) I'd use that instead.

>>60857234
FLAC's are perfect copies of the original file, while other more popular lossy compresssions are merely close representations of that file.

When I turned on my computer this morning chkdsk or something like that started running checking my hard drive... it's only the first time it's happened, but about how much longer will my drive last? I've had it eight years and probably pirated 100 tb up/down off of it.

>>60858033

>>60858068

>>60858036
chkdsk only runs when windows didn't shut down properly.

so today while i was off at work my parents texted me saying they had a bunch of problems with the internet. so i tried to access my rutorrent online but couldn't connect and then i tried to ssh in and also could not connect. im dont really know if rtorrent was causing the problems and ive left it alone plenty of times before without any trouble, but im still a little worried that it may be a bit to aggressive so i want to do something about it. also it seems like a pretty good idea anyways

right now I allow connection through a tor hs only for both the ssh server and rutorrent because of the nat-punching abilities and because i already have tor connected 99% of the time anyway, so i figure some kind of shut-off could be based on that

tl;dr: how hard would it be to write a script that tells rtorrent to pause all traffic if tor doesn't say that it is connected, and then start seeding and stuff again once the connection is fine? i have no real programming experience

NO IM NOT TORRENTING OVER TOR AND THIS IS NOT A QUESTION ABOUT TORRENTING OVER TOR ONLY SSH TRAFFIC AND THE WEB UI IS GOING OVER TOR

Arch is not recommended for complex setups that include RAID. Few things to remember when using arch: read the pacman/install log after updates, read RSS distro news, and never pacman -Sy then -Su. Always -Syu!

How to install something to root of a usb stick if it doesn't auto-mount? In GNU/Linux Ubuntu.

If I plug it in, and mount /dev/sdb1 (drive is called /dev/sdb and has a "partition (?) /dev/sdb1 as I can see after plugging in, using lsblk) to /mnt and then install files to /dev/sdb1, will those files be in the root-directory?

I think it's dependent on the machine, some sticks auto-mounts automatically.

Does doing pic rel not mean mounting the drive, s.t. if I install files to /dev/sdb1 now, they will be in the root of the drive?

I have an tp-link archer c7 ac1750 router and I can get it up and running again.
It stopped responding a few months ago and I didn't have time to fix it then.
Now when I tried to follow the hard reset procedure (hold reset button for 8 seconds until it starts blinking) it doesn't start blinking as it should.
So I did some searching and apparently people who run DD-wrt on this router have had a bug with it not responding to the reset. There doesn't seem to be any other people that have issues with this.
But I'm quite confident I didn't install DD-wrt on this router. Regardless I looked for how to upload the old software package to it and it involves some Wireshark things.
When I start it while holding down reset (not sure if this is called firmware upload mode or not) and run nmap I find a host on ip 192.168.0.86. But it has the wrong Mac address. It doesn't correspond to any device I have at all. In Wireshark I'm supposed to see that the device is looking for a specific ip via arp but it doesn't send anything at all.
This is super confusing.

Does anyone know how to unbrick this thing? It seems weird that I'd have gotten to this situation because I'm almost 100% sure I've only used it as your normal home user would.

I've seen some nice movies made by a guy flying a drone around.
Probably prohibitively expensive.

>>60860908
>So it's doable within a reasonable budget?
oh yeah

>>60860701
Thanks, man

>>60860947
I've seen movies as well but most of them are prerecorded. I'm not talking about a simply remote controlled drone. I'm talking about flying a drone in real time from a considerably big distance. I know that's how military drones and cruiser missiles work but is it available for the average person?

>>60860908
>experience of actual flying
Sounds a bit too hopeful. I'm sure its fun but you lack all the pressure differences and overall tactile feedback from flying.

I need some external monitor for my 15 inch laptop, Sth around 21 inches because of small desk.
Bonus points for low price.

Can someone confirm that DS4 v2 works with ds4windows or something else? Is the v2 even better than the DS4 or did they use cheaper parts and fucked it up?

>>60855416
Why can't they make CPUs with 8gb cache? Sure they'd be expensive as fuck but then I wouldn't have to buy RAM so wouldn't it balance out?

>>60861014

>with a VR headset
Sounds fishy.

>>60861073

I have a fairly new ds4 v2 (serial number starts with a 3) and it does work with ds4windows over usb, haven't tried over bluetooth because it requires fairly new/official bluetooth v5 which I don't have

only minor differences afaik, newer sticks, can't say for longevity

>>60861108

Currently I have an i5 6500, 1070 and a 1080p/144hz monitor

Want to jump to a 1080Ti and a ultrawide monitor 60hz ( maybe 100hz)

My i5 would bottleneck the gpu much? I dont mind losing like 10% but if it halt by 15 or 20% is a problem

For professional use its obvious that AMD is better and even for gayymers it can produce better mins in some games than 7700K.
It's nowhere near bulldozer level.

some anons are helping me on >>/wsr/
they told me this
''You don't need the i7-7700k or the watercoolong for just a GTX 1070.''
what did they mean by this?

>>60862460
They meant just get a Ryzen with stock cooler.

>>60862460
Even the 1080 can be run fine with a weaker cpu. And a good quality air cooler is okay for a realistic OC.

If I have an extra pci slot for it would it make any difference to throw the 650 back inside? plugged into any monitors or not?

Water cooling is high maintenance. As for the cpu, it's good but you can get a cheaper one and still push the gpu too its limit.

>>60862573
i want a closed loop liquid cooler not the open ones
still i dont understand the issue with the i7

>>60862521
If you're gonna go for a gaming chair, DXRacers are in that price range and have a pretty good coor selection.

Modern SD Cards have surprisingly fancy microcontrollers so my guess would be that through the normal contacts you can access a debug mode and let the MCU run the tests.

Not really. It glosses over fundamental concepts VERY quickly. If sort of expects you to vaguely know a bit about programming already.

I've never actually bothered to read SICP, but I think it's supposed to be a beginner's text.

You can use The C book for learning your first programming language but that doesn't mean you should. SICP is an introductory computer science book and so requires no prior knowledge.

Intel has more varied results due to the mayonnaise they use under the heatshield. Also the AMD stock cooler is much better than what Intel offers. But if you have an aftermarket cooler and not too bad of a luck then they both perform similarly when comparing temperatures.

AMDs graphics cards run hotter due to AMD having to overclock them to stay competitive. This is most apparent in rx 500 series.

I5-7600k.
More cores wont help you in games, you need singlecore performance per core which is intel main point.
Also when it comes to emulation its way superior thanks to Emulation nature.

that anon is probably a water-cooling purist, New AMD ryzen cpu's are stupid cheap (get a 6 core, 12 thread for like $220)and out-clock the latest intel cpu's by a good bit.
---

Long story short, AMD just busted intels ass and ryzen line-up and thread ripper(16 core, 32 thread cpus for desktop/servers) are killing the market for intel, intels got its head up its ass and released a garbage "core I9" product and nobody wants to use it...

Go with AMD for future proofing/latest tech at cheaper prices.

>>60865019
Still for something cheap Ryzen is not bad, Intel is scamming you but their CPUs are good.
Ryzen Lacks a IGPU, intel has a IGPU.
Ryzen is actually worth it unlike Bulldozer where Haswell CPUs ran around it in circles.
More cores is useful if you do something else while gaming, but wont make your games work better.

>>60862460
Lets say you will play games.

I7 are mostly useless for gaming, get a I5 or Ryzen, games rarely use hypertreading to make it worth it.
Watercooling is not worth it, just go for a cheap or good fan (212 EVO or NH-U12S or NH-D15).

Looks like it's the case. Can I solve this without buying a new one?

Alright, so Ryzen has not a ton of potential to improve at this point? I might buy the 1600 anyway because the benchmarks are close enough, it does very well in workstation tasks, and I own a decent bit of AMD stock so I feel some level of loyalty, hahaha.

How did you confirmed it? did you try your phone?
Still, i assume your case has 2 3.5mm connectors try the other.

>>60865104
It will improve with Zen+, a new CPU line, but the ones released now? not at all.
Ryzen is not bad, but if your only focus is gaming and emulation intel is the answer.
Otherwise if you wanna a good CPU for heavy multitasking and gaming, then Ryzen is what you are looking for.

I have the same problem on my phone and the jack seems softer near the connector.

How do I permanently remove the Activate Windows watermark in Windows 10?

hi, im trying to run the Vulkan API for Dolphin on my Ubuntu 17.04 partition. I fixed most of the errors by lurking threads but I still get "Failed to create Vulkan device" followed by "Failed to initialize video backend"

>>60855928
What did you do until now?

Is there a mega of technology books I can sift through?

What do I do? Everything is too big.

How the fuck do I overclock my CPU? There is 100 trillion settings in my BIOS and I have no idea what Im doing

Can you use any wifi usb adapter for not only receiving but also hosting wifi?

>>60866855
a lot of them can, but it may depend on what specific drivers allow

>>60866158
1. don't
2. do plenty of research
3. fuck with unimportant hardware first
4. keep close watch on temperatures
5. don't reuse settings from other people, even if it's the "same" cpu, due to the nature of overclocking and cpus, no two cpus will have exactly the same tolerances, even if they're the same model
