This is quite literally a meme I saw started on pol this morning.
Are there any reasons to run FreeBSD as a desktop OS?
personal preference
No, there's no legitimate reason to use anything except Windows 10.

From my understanding, in order to be a competent programmer, software engineer, etc. you need to be very good at teaching yourself stuff or can easily retain information (an autodidact I guess). After all, software development is 80% reading/understanding/learning and then only 20% actual coding. The learning done for software engineering is obviously different than a lot of crafts since you cannot rely on muscle memory to solve a lot of problems.
How many of you feel like you're very good at learning on your own? Would you consider yourself an autodidact?
>>58327939
Yeah, you also have to be good at math.
Why did you post this on /g/ instead of /sci/?
>>58328123
I forgot that /sci/ existed.. Plus the only science I generally interact with is computer science
Hey /g/, my buddy sold me his old gaming pc parts. In total I got an AMD Phenom II Black Edition 4x965 with stock cooler, AS Rock MOBO, 8gb of DDR3 RAM (Corsair Vengence), 1TB WD HDD, 600w Cooler Master PSU, various cables, ect.
I plan to OC the CPU and get an aftermarket cooler. An SSD will also be in the mix. What I want to know is what GPU I should get. I am looking for a 1080p experience and able to play latest titles at mid-high graphic settings. Budget is about $100-130. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
GTX 770, this card is a fucking TANK. It is from 2013, but I can easily run GTA V at High/Ultra Settings at 60 FPS on a 2560 x 1080 display.

Get scammed retard
>>58327955
Cool, any particular manufacturer i.e. ASUS, MSI?
How does /g/ take notes? There are so many solutions but it's difficult to tell which ones are worth putting the effort into learning. What have you tried?
pen and paper

I've found that for programming courses in college so far that writing down everything is beneficial in terms of remembering everything.
Getting a Samsung Galaxy S7 in the morning as my "upgrade" from the HTC One M8.
Vodafone didn't have the HTC 10, so I went for this, what are your general experiences with the Galaxy S7 and is it a "worthy" upgrade from my M8?
It'll be my first Samsung phone.
Also, sorry if this type of post isn't allowed here; just looking for some opinions.
Should have gotten something else
Like a pixel or a iPhone

Pixel is too expensive and same for iPhone.
I always prefer Android.

Hey guys I recently bought this high end device and to be honest I'm kinda disappointed.

why are you disappointed?
That's nice, retard.
What's up with /v/'s obsession with Linux?
The American posters here are a perfect example of someone who was given way too many trophies for coming in last.
The attention span of a squirrel and absolutely no idea what the word focus even means, nor do they understand that they will be fact checked but their mommy told them they were the smartest kid she had ever...known... so they just think as long as they are talking they are winning... winning like Charlie Sheen.

Talking about the constant shitpost about it, it's a lot more than usual.
A little fun for you guys :)
Let's see what you got:

Are you with the CDC? Did the T-virus get out? How long have we got before the gunships arrive?

Worth it to upgrade? Purchasing won't happen for a couple months. It's mostly used for gaming. Obviously only one cooler, still deciding which. Bought the 3770 3.5 years ago when I didn't understand what the K meant. If it was unlocked, I'd stick with it for another year or so.
I'm hoping Kaby pushes Skylake price down a bit. Or should I go with Kaby? I've read that the differences that will affect me aren't too great. Another option is to wait for next Tick cycle.
Seems like a somewhat marginal CPU upgrade, for gaming you might get more bang for buck upgrading your GPU to a 1080 or something
>>58329227
Even with the fact that the 3770 cannot be overclocked? I would think that alone would be a substantial upgrade. 3770 base clock is 3.4ghz

Same here bro. Like seriously, I feel like I just get it a little too well, you know what I mean? It's tough when you just know too much. Only a monkey can program without question, unlike you and me
What ide do you guys use? I ask because I'm using visual studio for the first time since it is required at work and I love it; they also gave me a full msdn and I was putting it on my home machines.
I'm kind of paranoid about tethering myself to microsoft so I was wondering if there was something else out there that is amazing.
For IDEs, I've only used Eclipse for Java for my university course. When I got sick of Eclipse's shit, I just went to using a text editor and using Java's compiler and debugger. It worked OK, but I didn't do any projects larger than 3 or so files.

Yes, the "smartphone" is a cancerous blight.
