How can a desktop be so fucking slow and bugged? So many performance issues.

GNOME is so disgusting
>>59812232
B-but is modern and minimalist, not like KDE
I know gnome has it's problems, mostly vanilla gnome has absolutely atrocious defaults with a few things missing, but GNOME in my experience, after a bit of setup/customization, has been one of the smoothest and best linux desktop experiences
Looking to pick up my first ultrawide and had a couple of questions. How does 4:3 and 16:9 content look on one? Does it automatically get boxed or am I going to have to fiddle with settings to fix image stretching issues? Any monitors you all recommend? Post setups?
>>59812170
>How does 4:3 and 16:9 content look on one
Black bars on the sides to effectively make the monitor 16:9 or 4:3. It doesn't stretch or anything. One thing to note though is that Netflix is retarded and will have black bars on top and to the sides of all their 21:9 content. Also if this is for vidya a lot of semi older games will not support 21:9 but many new(er) games will.
>Any monitors you all recommend?
LG makes some pretty good ones. I'm currently using their 29UM57 one. One major thing is that you should not get anything under 29" (maybe even 30") as there will be no vertical room.
>Post setups?
My desk is a mess so I'll just post a speccy.
>>59812170
Ultrawide is shit unless you go with the 1440px vertical (generally 34" and up).
If you're going with the 2440x1080 or whatever, that's complete retardation.
>>59812652
2560x1080 is a perfectly fine resolution.

Hi, I'm trying to access all posts from a particular user on a Vbulletin forum. This user has over 12,000 posts going back over a decade. The forum's search limits me to just 100 posts, I need all of them for a research project involving speech pattern analysis. Any advice? I am fairly ok with Python, which I normally use to scrape other sites. Thank you in advanced for any advice or pointers.
try searching range based. Posts by user starting at 1970, order oldest to newest. Then find the 100th post, get the time, set that as the new oldest, repeat.

kys you autistic weirdo stalker
>>59811853
Quick question:
How much information would you leak by posting 12,000 posts? Is it enough to find you, your friends and which park you were hanging out when you were a child?
Is DWS-lite the best Windows Un-shitter? What do you recommend?
Install Gentoo
How about not using windows?
10 still feels like a clusterfuck with 4 different menus to do the same exact job. Windows has been shit since 7.

Hahahahahaha I've never seen this joke before! Congrats anon on your originality!
Who /SDR/ here?
What exactly do you do with it? Sniff radio traffic? I don't quite understand it but it sounds like something I could get into.
>>59811153
sound interesting. Details ?

Do you radio? Could you talk a little about what you use this stuff for?

So apparently Vega is going to be out before June, should I go ahead and buy a 1080 ti or will I regret it when this comes out?
>>59810583
Ok time for summary:
Vega is the biggest fundamental architecture change since they switched from Terascale to GCN 1.0
The new NCU means a massive boost to efficiency in the shader core and a much easier ability to fully saturate the GPU with work.
The biggest problem with Fiji(furyX) is that its 4096 shaders didnt mean very much because of large bubbles in the pipeline and large ammounts of shaders idling and doing no work each cycle.
Even with a low Level API like Vulcan which is best case scenario the FuryX is still not running with all cylinders firing because Vulkan only solved the Driver overhead problem. There is still bubbles in the workload because of the fundamental design of the GCN architecture itself.
AMD is switching from standard 4x16-bit blocks of a normal GCN CU(compute unit) to This new design of a variable 8+4+2+2 block and either four of these or a mix of these and standard 16-bit blocks in this new NCU(next compute unit)
They could not Do this in the past because they did not have the technology to build a Hardware Scheduler and Memory Scheduler Complexed enough to run this kind of architecture.
We have test samples of Vega with NCU's disabled and with very low clockspeeds and its beating a 1900mhz overclocked gtx 1080 in DOOM. Now there is a gain from using Vulcan over DX11 and OpenGL for AMD but thats on the Driver Overhead side not on the fundamental shader operations side. IT just means the CPU is feeding draw calls to the GPU at peak efficiency.
Alot of people dismiss the test because its vulcan but they dont know what they are looking at. The Vega sample is running FIJI 1.2 drivers Which means the instructions are running through the Vega NCU's like they are standard fixed 16-bit blocks like you have on a FuryX card.
So you need to look at it from this perspective.
This New architecture is more advanced than Maxwel/Pascal. You are going to see unreal performance from Vega when its finally released. Poor Volta
>paying 800$ for a 1% performance change.
Reminder that the average CPU costs 10 cents to manufacture.

Yesterday TheShadowBrokers released password for Leaked Equation Group NSA hacking tools, they have been auctioning in 2016:
https://medium.com/@shadowbrokerss/dont-forget-your-base-867d304a94b1
The first cache of NSA hacking tools contained quite a lot of material, such as zero-day exploits and tools to bypass firewalls (Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper, and TOPSEC), a toolkit to extract VPN keys, backdoors for Linux systems, and several Windows exploits.
This second cache is quite fresh, and security researchers haven't had the time to search it in its entirety. As of now, we know of the following findings:
A list of servers belonging to companies and universities from around the world, which the NSA allegedly hacked and used as staging points for deploying malware and launching attacks.
The same list, but only the IPs
A list of usernames and passwords used for tools and backdoor acconts
The TOAST framework used to clean server logs and delete the NSA's tracks.
Many tools for hacking *NIX systems, especially Solaris.
A tool called ELECTRICSLIDE that impersonates a Chinese browser with fake Accept-Language.
A new tool named PITCHIMPAIR used to hack into servers.
An implant called SIDETRACK, used with PITCHIMPAIR.
tl;dr:

Nothing substantial, sadly.
>>59810421
That's probably old stuff, they must have new tools by now.

First of all, object oriented programming is for ovaltine sponge drinking niggerfuckers, ok, I don't even know how to do object oriented programming to be quite honest. I have no use for it. Functional programming is really the only acceptable programming paradigm for accurate, secure, and efficient computation. The only coders that lean towards OOP are lazy script kiddies and panjeets that could never grasp the fundamentals of calculus and number theory. Fuck object oriented programming. Object oriented programming is for peasants.
I agree
ITT no job experience
OOP is okay when you have a bunch of 'jeeps writing your codebase
Facebook dropped Messenger support for Windows Phone 8.1.
I can't update to 10 because I have an 512 Mb RAM device, so I have to use the browser to contact people (only two of my friends has WhatsApp).
I don't want to buy a new phone, I just want my bloat free old Messenger back goddamnit.
Any hope for some third party shit?
>>59810165
I'm pretty sure there's a way to get 10 onto most unsupported phones... lookup your phone on XDA developers or something
It's time to let it go Anon
>>59810301
Oh, you think I haven't tried that already? I installed 10 on my 635, it works pretty good. But the Messenger app of Windows 10 is a ported version of the iOS one, it crashes instantly when I try to send a message, they haven't optimized shit. So I had to roll back and now I'm stuck.
What filesystem should i choose?
>>59810024
NTFS obviously
>no ReiserFS
Use a different distro.
>>59810024
HFS+
