Can anyone give me an honest opinion from those pursuing a CS major in Uni? I am registering for courses and am torn between CS, Actuarial Math, and Financial Math.
Is CS really a joke?

>Is CS really a joke?
Yes.
And through all the autism you will have to endure prepare to not have a job once you graduate. They're all going straight to pajeet.
>>59789565
But which one of them do you think/do the best though?
Also, you can just study CS and then get a MSc in Financial Engineering or Computational Finance if you like finance that much.
>>59789712
Well I like working with computers for sure, but I think I might enjoy something closer to a purer mathematical approach.
I'm scheduling my courses so that I can take some of each in my first year courses to get a feel for each of them.

what if you increased core voltage on a modern processor to like 12 volts and instead of turning into carbon it became a superconductor and processed data an order of magnitude faster than it did before
has anyone ever tried this with their cpu
>>59789369
nah
>12V
I think that would let the magic smoke out.
>>59789396
yeah haha
but has anyone tried it on the latest architectures? maybe it won't haha
I primarily bought this to support Bunnie, and assembled and messed with it, but don't have the time to do the hardware justice.
I'm looking to give this away to a good home, to someone with more time. I'm hoping the receiver can cover shipping costs (especially if international) but if there's low interest and someone in the US wants it, we'll see.
Something may be suspect with the battery, as I had trouble booting it in the last few months, but it did fine when connected to AC power.
Posting now with a photo to gauge interest, I'll post contact info if there are some bites.
Embrace the dream of a truly free machine, /g/!

How much do you want for it?

nice clock, ahmed
Is that a bomb?
Hey /g/ so I pulled an old GPU out of retirement after the PSU from the machine it used to sit in blew ages ago for a project.
Thing is the damn thing refuses to even spin the fan with the 6 pin connector plugged in. I thought it might be the PSU so I brought out a brand spanking new EVGA 500 80plus, passes paperclip, no dice.
Thing is when the 6 pin is unplugged and it's just running off of pcie power, the fan spins (but no video output obviously).
It's not like PSU isn't trying to deliver power, when I boot with everything plugged as it should the fan jitters for a 1/10th second but abruptly stops as if it's power gets completly cut off.
Is my GPU dead /g/?

>Yet another egpu meme

Surprise!
>>59789275
Do you have a bios option for gpu? might have to select pci display adapter or disable igpu. I'd google your laptop model and egpu problems, I don't know much about them but not all laptops are compatible. Do you have a desktop or a friend with one to test the card? doesn't really matter what it is, you have a psu.
I'm Whitey and if you don't write a program to print the sum of primes up to two million in Swift you are NEVER getting the job, fucko.
This is truly the worst meme /g/ has ever seen.
>>59789262
ah ah ah, no sugar on the first date love
>>59789262
You can't even get the question right, how do you expect to get a job?
The sum of all primes under 2 million is a trivial toy problem.
The sum of the first 2 million primes is the interesting interview question.
What would your ideal forum look like, /g/?
>forum
lol what is this, 2005?
>>59789088
All of that is fine, except the last point.
I LIKE that 4chan doesn't have permanence. I actually wish other platforms would just delete their shit after the conversation dies down. It makes it better, more like an actual conversation. There are thousands of websites and forums with permanent discussions, that isn't what I want. I want anonymous ephemeral conversations about things I'm interested in.
4chan is good for this. It could be improved a lot, but it is one of very few that don't give a shit about permanence and identity.
Forums need to have an ugly barebones interface with no images.
It tends to keep away retards.
Even better if it is hard to use from a phone or a tablet.
So the ideal forum is an IRC channel.

I recently just built my PC and all my stuff worked fine except my Network adapter. When I rebooted my PC my graphics card was no longer working. When I tried to go into my bios all I got was a black screen. That was the first time I ever tried going into my bios. I can still access windows and everything works properly, except my graphics card isn't being registered by my PC. Any ideas?
>>59788876
unplug the psu, pull the battery, press the pwr button a few times to drain residual charge then leave it for 5-10 minutes. put the batt back in, plug it in and it should post normally
>>59788923
Still still a black screen for my bios.
>>59788876
Have you tried plugging your hdmi/dvi/vga cable directly into the mobo? (assuming you have on board graphics) Also, what GPU is it?
This has saved me twice. Once with a failed hard drive. Another with a failed SD card.
Why didn't you get into the habit of making backups after the first failure?

Malwarebytes.
Adwcleaner.
uBlock Origin.
MSI Afterburner.
MSI W7 Smart tools.
Speedfan.
So the official D implementation just got converted to an open source Boost license.
Redpill me on D...and Nim too I suppose. Are either of them worth upgrading working C code to use? Or should I just use C++ if I need a "better C"?
>D
it's fucking nothing
>>59788658
>D
like in Dead. Use C++ if you want OOP, descent speed and C compatibility.
>>59788658
D is a nice language, but nobody really uses the reference compiler anyway so it hardly affects anything.
Nim is also really nice.
Neither are actually used though, so if you're looking for marketable skills, look elsewhere.

how would i even go about finding the primes in python
then what would i do
>>59788592def sumPrimes(n):
sum, sieve = 0, [True] * n
for p in range(2, n):
if sieve[p]:
sum += p
for i in range(p*p, n, p):
sieve[i] = False
return sum
print sumPrimes(2000000)
>>59788592sieve = [True] * 2000000 # Sieve is faster for 2M primes
def mark(sieve, x):
for i in xrange(x+x, len(sieve), x):
sieve[i] = False
for x in xrange(2, int(len(sieve) ** 0.5) + 1):
if sieve[x]: mark(sieve, x)
print sum(i for i in xrange(2, len(sieve)) if sieve[i])
