When will they make memory freeing automatic like in Chromium? Firefox always crashes when it gets past 2GB.

Why not build a proper workstation yourself and profit from higher value for your money and the ability to switch components freely?

And if you really want to stay a macfag, learn about hackintosh.

Anybody who has had to work with Java for any extended period of time will assure you it's shit.

>>57298459
This. I used it for a couple of projects in university years ago, and in my spare time more recently. It's turbo shit all the time.

Can you give more reasoning?

I know the VM and all hinders the performance, but definitely not enough in anyway to be noticeable for 99% of the programming I do.

Not a fan of java, just want to hear some reasons.

>>57298440
it's designed that way because even though it is on your own home network, if your media server is up at home, and you have plex somewhere else, you can technically stream shit from your house to wherever you are, it's not limited to just your network, though it would be nice to have that offline network option.

>>57298501
I completely get that. But that shit is unacceptable that from the damn server I'm on, it still tells me its unreachable. There's got to be people out there that use it offline. There's no way that it can't be used offline

Assblasted right now man wtf

I just had a bad semester. My GPA went from 3.2 to 2.7.

I was doing really well until the start of last semester. I was getting lots of A's, and I got a high exam mark in a course I was struggling in.

The problem is that university is basically my whole world right now because I am doing it online. I flunked out of SENG in physical university and got banned for 3 years, and my only alternative was to do CS online. One of my friends immediately unfriended me on Facebook when he found out I wasn't coming back the next year. That was a huge blow, because i really liked him and we had similar personalities. The one who stuck with me is a bit of a Chad.

I have pretty much been hold up in my room for a year now, studying and gaming. I know what you are thinking, "He must be gaming all the time, so he's failing," but honestly, from like January to July I didn't touch any games. It wasn't some kind of nofap asceticism, I had just lost interest. Then, August came, and I had booked my first exams, but at the last minute, I backed out of them because I knew I was going to fail. I thought if I put in an extra month of study time it would make a difference, but it didn't. I started gaming again (multiplayer Minecraft autism), probably because of the dread of *knowing* I was going to fail two courses out of three. I also got drunk once, for the first time in like 2 years. I binged on beer after every exam to take the edge off.

I'm doing work experience, but instead of a sexy internship at one of the big 4, I am just doing work for some guy who put up an ad on the internet. He needs a mobile app built, and I'm making it. I've been clueless from day 1, and it's in a language I never used in uni. I am self teaching everything instead of learning from people who know what they are doing. It is nerve wracking, and I hate it.

My advice for /g/ is to not do online CS, ever. Figure out a way to go to a physical school, even if you have the discipline for online.

The worst part is the asynchronous sleep. It has been bothering me for months. There are rarely two days in a row when I wake up at the same time, and sometimes I get reversals so I wake up when the sun is setting and go to sleep in the morning.

I already switched to Linux because of the intrusive habits of Windows 10. Soon others will follow once the ass fucking reaches its prime.

Wait for it.

No, just for linux mint

I liked it, but 18.0 has a bunch of wifi issues so I switched to manjaro.
