Hi /g/.

What were these things called, and what was their purpose? I'm set dressing this scene and I need to incorporate some computing technology from the 60s. When I think of 60s computers I think of these weird tape recorder looking things.

Would it be accurate to incorporate these machines into a 60s setting, and what is their exact purpose and what are they called?

HOLY SHIT that was fast

It looks like the thing has four expansion slots in the back, one of which is taken up by the motherboard.

Price is speculated to be $13,400 at launch.

So what do you guys think?

Don't care, why would that trigger someone?

Because it either gets expected responses like "no the creator himself said it's jiff" or it gets responses like "no one cares" or "why would that trigger someone".

When did you realize that you were never going to work at one of the Big 4?

For me it was last night.

about me: 25, last year of undergrad, probablly going to graduate with ~3.0. Fucking Canadian. Fat, manlet, white male so no SJW job placements for me. And the kicker: finished degree online through former university I attended.

Tbh fampai, it's somewhat liberating. I no longer care if people think I am a right winger on social media, because I know that I am never going to be in a job placement competitive enough that my conservatism would be used against me. It also has a kind of soul crushing defeatism to it. I realize that I am probably going to die in the city I was born in, because there is no point in leaving since there is no appreciable difference in salary after you factor shit in.

Before any of you faggots start rationalizing shit, realize that fewer than 500,000 people work at all Big 4 companies, including non-software developing staff.

Interviewed for a web-dev centric SDE position at Amazon. Got to the code test bit. I thought I did well on the computer science algorithms bit, despite not having a degree. Got a No Thanks. Interviewed again for the same position and got a more web dev related test, again thought I did well, and got another No Thanks. I didn't really want to work there anyways, as I heard they worked their employees to death, but was bummed I didn't make the cut.

Copy left means bad people don't want to use your code. And since the world mostly consists of bad men, your library won't be as popular as if it was no strings attached.

Has anyone here done any audio programming? I'd like to get into it because I'd like to be able to make some audio plugins and whatnot.

I came across this podcast app that has a way to speed up podcasts but it does it in a really clever way and the speech doesn't become really high pitched as you bump the speed up.

How is that done? Any ideas? Are there any open source audio programs that I could learn from?

Thanks anons!

I tried fiddling with the vst and au architectures at uni, absolutely not an impossible thing to do if you slap together some modules and then just wrap them to vst with a shitty interface on top
I wasn't motivated enough to do more than a couple biquad filters from scratch, because digital audio itself is more complicated than coding it

Imagine a world where Rust replaced C. Disregard safety benefits.

Just imagine if the interface needed to communicate with any given peripheral or embedded device was available for download through Cargo.

No header files. No fumbling around on a manufacturer's website or instruction manual with the vague hope that you will find what you need. Just a working API with a single crate include, which you can use by just following the types and autocompleting with Racer.

Rust is not and will never be as fast as C.

>>59739644
A world where hardware and lab equipment manufacturers make a living by selling hardware.

I just wish they didn't provide useless C API's that are god-awfully annoying to install and compile, or "hassle-free Matlab or Labview interfaces" that force you to use Matlab or Labview.

Okay /g/ I'm fucking pissed off

I went on some chink site and bought a well reviewed eGPU Mini PCIe adapter so I can use my old 5770 with my old shitposting machine on another monitor

The PSU thats giving it power can do 384w on the 12v, more than enough for a 5770

But the adapter needs one 6 pin pcie from the PSU to give the pcie slot its 75w power

But my PSU only had 1 pcie 6 pin so i bought a 6 pin to 2 6+2 splitter

But the fucking thing just jitters on boot and refuses to turn on when I have both wires on the splitter plugged in to the adapter and GPU

But if I unplug the GPU cable and just power the 75w pcie slot it turns on and the GPU fan spins but nothing on the monitor obviously because the GPU needs it's extra juice to function

So why the fuck did the splitter make the PSU go lolnope when it could easily handle the output?

I bet that can't do 384w peak split across all rails, look at that thing. test setup with your desktop psu.
>>
>>59739614
What?

It's a 600w rated PSU, that's why I only posted the 12 volt power since it's the only relevant stat.

Hello, what is the best way to save up ~$1600 for my dream laptop? I know an answer will entail working and what not, which I agree and understand. However, I am a college student and would like a method to earn this before Septemberish. Any job suggestions/LEGAL strategies? Thanks m8

stop spending wastefully first of all, you don't have the money if you're a college kid, you probably just took loans for all your college and you probably eat out every night

you can't afford it. pls stop and just get a 300 dollar chrome book

lemme guess, you wanna "game on the same computer you take notes with"? don't its not worth it and you'll fail out because you'll wanna play video games at the same time you're in class
>>
Dude just get an x230 for $150

WTF do you need a $1600 laptop for?
