If you have a hard drive that has Two partitions

One partition has a lot of free space,

The other partition is close to completely empty:

Will the performance on partition 1 suffer because of the low space on partition 2?

The OS is on Partition 1.

I have to admit, I like programming language wars. However, they are rarely interesting, since most (not all, of course) people who have a strong opinion they want to share, have very little knowledge of their own favourite language and its alternatives. So I thought it might be interesting to ask people to choose a few programming languages they do not like, and post three points they like about the language. It would be good to cut out things like "is widespread" or "gets funded by $company" and concentrate on properties of the language itself rather than its community and "social status".

Let me begin:

I do not like C++. Good things I noticed:
1. The multithreading system since C++11 is nice
2. It is easy to interface with C and export C functions, which can easily embedded into other languages as well
3. The STL has tools for most situations

I do not like Java. Good things I noticed:
1. Comparably well-designed polymorphy and reflection API
2. Versatile standard API
3. Checks for index overflows, mitigates many programming errors

New sqt, previous one is kill.

Post your small/stupid questions here, rather than creating a whole thread for it Don't bump the thread, wait for an answer rather. Take at least 10 seconds googling your question.

For GPU/Linux/headphone/bsd/programming/webdev check the catalog for their generals too.

Redirect people starting dumb threads here.

So I've noticed that almost all the books etc. in Java are basically living in Java 5.0 land.

They teach an old, crusty and hard to use language. They don't teach modern Java, which is sad, because the 12 years of experience formed since Java 5 was released should actually be used for the benefits of the new learner.

So I ask you /g/, if we were to teach modern Java, warts and all (there is no need to shy away from the fact that the language is imperfect), how should we do this?

My suggestions would be some basic fucking changes to the average curriculum, because I'm sick and tired of kids not knowing BASIC NECESSARY SHIT.

> What is maven/gradle/etc.
Just pick one and stick with it throughout. Don't build using eclipse. Don't use fucking javac. Javac are for those with special interests in this sort of thing.

> Don't teach java.io and neglect java.nio
FFS. How do I read a file?
USE:

java.nio.file.Files.readAllLines(path, cs)

If I see one more

InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(FileInputStream(new File("/path/to/file")));

I will fucking scream. I swear to the gods. Fuck this shit.
At least teach them the scanner trick.

Scanner sc = new Scanner(file).useDelimiter("\\Z");
String content = sc.next();
sc.close()

I mean, yeah, delimiter sounds strange, and explaining that EOF is a thing is strange. But people managed to learn that when we were taught C. Milennials aren't stupid. So stop treating them like idiots.

> Not teaching them how to talk to an RDBMS
What the flying fuck even is this?
You cannot rely on ORM tools. ORM tools deal with the boring shit for you. You still have to query manually from time to time.

If a new hire doesn't know how to use JDBC, then we have a problem.
Furthermore, how can you avoid teaching people about how classloaders work and claim you're teaching them Java? Don't teach them the subset that they have in common with C#. Actually teach them Java.

What do you think, /g/?

>About Vim
Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to make creating and changing any kind of text very efficient. It is included as "vi" with most UNIX systems and with Apple OS X.

>Why Vim
Vim is rock stable and is continuously being developed to become even better. Among its features are:
#persistent, multi-level undo tree
#extensive plugin system
#support for hundreds of programming #languages and file formats
#powerful search and replace
#integrates with many tools.

>I want to use Vim but I don't know the keybindings/Nano is easier
#Learning them is easy and you only actually need a select few: navigation, search, b, i, w, :line, v and a few more
#Install Vim and get started with the built in vim tutor: vimtutor - very easy 7 lessons, takes you 30 minutes and you are there.

>I want to use mouse and click
While you can certainly do them in Vim, you will become too lazy to take your hand off the keyboard once you get comfortable with Vim.

>Vim is just a text editor
True, but you can scale Vim to be the IDE you want it to be: C/C++, Java, C#, Python, Haskell, Javascript - anything you like.

At this point these ES chips probably match what will be sold in stored in march.
That hexacore looks to be good OC target, and it might be somewhat cheap thanks to the lower clocks.

PC Building General: 1070 is more than a viable 1440p card edition

Post your component list, rate other anons', and ask questions in general.

Always state the purpose of your PC, your budget, AND YOUR COUNTRY if outside the USA.
If you are asking for improvements, clarify whether you want to lower price or to improve specs or build quality.

Assemble your parts list; built-in price comparisons by vendor and a compatibility filter.
https://pcpartpicker.com

Have a budget, but don't know where to start? This will recommend you a parts list based on price.

>Subsitute a G4560 with 2400MHz RAM for the i3-6100 in any build; same performance, half the price.
>Consider substituting an i5 7500 for the i3 in any RX470/480 or GTX 1060 tier build
>Consider stock fan+heatsink for any i3 or locked i5 build without a Z mobo
>Consider a B150/B250 or H110 mobo for any i3 build
>Add a 240GB SSD to the "Great" tier build

General build advice including chipset compatibility, power supply advice, Windows activation information.
