100% agree
Only if you have 5 layers of proprietary Apple adapters. So simple, just werks.
To be fair, it's reasonable to wonder whether or not apple will decide to remove USB connectivity on their new macbooks. They are going for simplicity, after all.
Ay yo, what's the cheapest way for me to build a linux box to be a home server?
I want to use it to edit videos (in Sony Vegas) from a windows machine, without having a loud ugly hard drive in that windows machine. The linux box will be relegated away from my office while still being inside wireless range.
Is editing video over the network going to be a bitch?
>>61458268
Yes it's going to be a bitch or yes the cheapest way for me to build a linux box?

Yes

What do you think of https://eos.io/? They're basically trying to run an operating system on possibly millions of node. If this shit can be done, what blocks us from building the Singularity!?

In case you contribute to the so-called "largest developer community", you should know that you're financing not only their programming site, but a whole network of sites you may not really like. Here are two examples of their obvious agenda:

Go back to /pol/. 99% of stackexchange sites are great.

I have Antergos running on all my machines. It's one of those "it just works" distros based off arch. It's been very good to me.
>>61457872
That's kinda my experience so far.
I just came from Debian, which required me to load external firmware during installation for my wireless card to work. Then, once it was installed, I had to fix the volume buttons, and the scroll wheel.
So far, no such problems with Antergos.
Personal/portable music player thread /pmp/
What up /pmp/'s, so we've been having these threads for a while now and I noticed some of you prefer it to be called /dap/ since it's more of a catch-all. Is a vote on this needed or are you guys okay with the name as is?

CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>G4560/G4600 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R5 1400 - Cheapest quad core you can get (Ryzen 3 soon)
>R5 1500x - Good but up to 1600 if you can
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; 1600x if you want higher stock clocks
>i7 7700k - Only for 144hz
>R7/Used Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use; Not for just gaming
GPUs:
Coin miners have driven price up and stock down, waiting to buy a GPU might be wiser
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>GTX 1050(Ti) - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games, RX560 beaten by both
>RX570 - 1080p@60~hz maxed, running most maxed older games at 100~Hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@80hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; RX580 better in newer games
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@130hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p
>GTX 1080Ti - 1440p@144hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games
RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen CPUs benefits a lot from high speed RAM
General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor.
The Ryzen lineup comes with surprisingly good stock coolers. consider using them over any <$30 cooler.

Someone was butthurt enough to modify the OP to intel. Jesus christ.
>>61457487
It's a guy that is very butthurt because he keeps trying to delete the 7700k completely from the OP (by force, aka creating a thread as soon as possible to prevent people from doing so), and keeps getting btfo'd over and over
He's gotten a ban recently for shitting up one of the previous threads, and has recently turned to falseflagging to shit it up even further
Just ignore him and his thread, report if possible, and everything will be good as always.

First of all I'm posting because I'm quite happy that I could finish this game, this is why I'm sharing it here.
>Extended Tic-Tac-Toe
I found a more complex version of Tic Tac Toe on the internet, which is also pretty easy to doodle, so I decided to make small application.
(is called also ultimate tic-tac-toe, nested tic-tac-toe)
The goal is to win with the big squares. Each big square is a Tic-Tac-Toe game, that can be won with the normal rules. The placement of a sign determines in which subsequent big square the game is played.
see next post for instructions
>The game
The game code is available on my github:
https://github.com/Pella86/ExtendedTris
The application is written with python with only native libraries.
For windows users I bundled it in an application (9.64 Mb):
https://github.com/Pella86/ExtendedTris/blob/master/ExtendedTris.zip
>Questions
1. I have a bug, when I press new game, is like if the Board doesn't get initialized, so the BigCells, instead of having None, they have the previous game settings. How would you reinitialize a tkinter game?
2. I want to implement an A.I., do you have any suggestions? A state search is an option, but might get computationally intensive.
For now I had suggestions to look into the MinMax algorithm, and somebody suggested the Quantum Tic Tac Toe. I think the minmax will be awesome for the small squares, but for the big one game, would be not so useful. Would you mind telling me your strategies? Ill try to translate them to code.
_you lost it_
This might be useful for your AI

Tic-Tac-Toe is a simple game, and there is a trick, which if one starts, one will never lose.
