>why would it be good to learn how to think logically? What the hell use is that?!

I dunno

>>58597419
That doesn't help me. What can I do to help improve my life personally with a coding language? I guess having a good portfolio would help just give my resume an edge

>>58597387
good mental gymnastic, but there's other ways to get that. hell, business is actually pretty close in that regard. constant analytical work that heavily leans on applied knowledge and mid level mathematics.

at some point you might be using your computer for a certain task and think to yourself "gee it would be cool if I had a tool that could enable/simplify this". if you know a language you might actually be able to make such a tool yourself.

you could make video game mods. that's a fun hobby.

360 camera?

360 camera, duh

>>58597289
Yeah it's a camera. When were you born

The mini can't use a stylus

>>58597252
None of them.

Buy a tablet laptop like x220t or x61t or a wacom tablet, you can't do what you want to do with either one of those

>>58597252
Galaxy Tab for sure

My dad keeps everything in C:\. He's an old mainframe hand and never really warmed to this "subdirectory" nonsense.

I help my grandmother and a few of her friends use computers and they hate the way hotmail, facebook, gmail, skype, and whatsup keep changing their interface.

Aging brings problems with vision and fine motor control that makes smartphones nearly impossible to use. Try having to read a smartphone screen from 2-3 feet away. Put on a pair of gloves to similar arthritis and try answering or making a call.

My mom works at a retirement community and they have no tech support for the residents, so I offer to fix stuff and assist with using computers for half of what geek squad charges. All very nice people, many more competent than you'd think. Most just need help with simple email questions or their printer stopped working or they have pop-ups or their computer is too slow

Sometimes I have to sit with them and explain things to them step by step for a couple hours but they're always grateful. Sometimes I feel like I'm ripping them off charging$75 for using free tools and installing drivers or whatever but somebody else would be ripping them even harder, or their kids would be stuck on the phone for half a day trying to solve their problems for them

Feels good

The fuck are you even asking? A hex editor literally displays the contents of the file as they are, byte-per-byte, output in the form of hexadecimal numbers (hex is more convenient, since FF = 255, meaning that all possible values of a byte fit within the range of 00-FF, and there's not a single 2-digit hex number that doesn't correspond to an appropriate byte value). Do you want to see the data in decimal form, perhaps? As in, see 250 instead of FA? Do you want to see the E-ASCII character that corresponds to the byte value? What on earth do you exactly want?

>A hex editor literally displays the contents of the file as they are, byte-per-byte, output in the form of hexadecimal numbers
this is exactly what i wrote

>Do you want to see the data in decimal form, perhaps?
no, i want the byte view. or ASCII for that matter.

what i want is simple:
imagine you write a program that reads in files. filestreams are usually stored in byte arrays. so the hex format gets automatically "transformed" into byte (or ASCII the hell do i know. the 0xFF type of notation disappears anyway).

what i want to see

cat file | hexdump -C

Were you planning on slapping 8gb of RAM on that bad boy?

It was

Ok, I agree

No

They thought they could kill the desktop, "innovation" for the sake of attempting to be progressive when nobody asked for or wanted it.

Niggah, pick one

I know you guys love to bitch about PHP, let me hear it.

>>58596604
sql is fine, keep using that. learn literally any language you want

But PHP is still the most used language. Why would you not learn that if you're trying to get a job? I guess you could learn Ruby if you want to compete for the 4000 Ruby Jobs that are out there.
