Can you connect a desktop pc modem to a tv? I've seen a laptop connected to a tv with an HDMI cable, but can you connect a desktop modem like that to a tv, without any display on the pc, like just using the tv as a monitor for that desktop pc modem?
My Sharp EL-805M calculator.
The top panel pops up (doubles as the power switch) to show the LCD display. Since LCD requires light to reflect, there's a narrow window at the top of what would otherwise act as a shade.
The display. Surprisingly readable.

Is Void Linux® any good?
>>57259672
No.
Install Ubuntu, it's better.
>>57259672
No packages.
>>57259672
Absolutely. Quick growing community, as leightweight as it gets resulting in very fast boot times and speed as well as responsivness in general, great package manager, easy to install due to simple and straight forward text based installer and quick and easy installing and removing software.

Somehow I managed to get a job in a Uni, anyway I'm heading up the infosec students and I want to create hacking challenges every fortnight.
I'm planning on hosting a website that's unsecure and allowing the kids to hack into it.
Anyone know any easy exploits or back doors I can build into the websites?
It has to be skiddy or similar level as their only first years (18 years old).

Make several dummy accounts with decently easy passwords. "Password123" etc. Turn off denial limit on the site so it doesn't lock a user out after too many wrong password attempts. Remove the need for a captcha after 5 attempts like some sites have.
See if they're capable of running a brute force tool. If they know how dictionaries work.
Look into DVWA, just set up a server and get through the documentation and base it off that.
You could start with SQL injection, XSS attacks, all that stuff.

found your problem.
I know this is a game, but I feel like it fits here better than /v/, because it's the technology behind it that's interesting to me, not so much the actual game.
I was curious about how games handle bots, both through technology and design, and a few days later a friend linked me this game called AdventureLand, and I've been messing around with it for about a week. Basically, it's a simple RPG where you can use Javascript to automate your actions, from targeting, kiting and fighting monsters/players, to upgrading and buying items, to more complicated tasks like pathfinding. You can also log multiple characters to form your own party, that can all be entirely automated.
There's not a lot to it right now content-wise, but I thought it was a really neat concept and I'm curious as to how it was done. If anyone has seen anything similar to this done before (I'm sure it has), I'd love to check it out.
Yeah I've seen something like it, it's called Final Fantasy 12. Also, 4chan lets you use css and/or js to automate things here. Possibly log IDs and create a sort of party mentality.

What, that you can execute code? Same as always.
> If anyone has seen anything similar to this done before (I'm sure it has), I'd love to check it out.
Shit, just about every "teach kids programming" turtle Logic shit thing has done that in a way.
What you really want to git good is however to read and understand academic papers and actual code like this:

OP here
having the "world's thinnest LCD monitor ever built" at 12.5mm. That touchscreen display is contained in a forged aluminum enclosure and measures 28 inches across. The display outputs 13.5 million pixels, according to Panay, which is 63 percent more than a 4K television.
How important is it for elements of code to be algebraic structures?
For example:
I store some data in a list-type structure, adding two lists gives another list to its a groupoid. Since the addition of lists is associative and the empty list is the identity element its actually a monoid.
Now I can do the following:
1) Overload negation to mean remove a matching entry from the end of the list
2) (This is usually not implemented in a list) If nothing can be removed, let the list remember it sothat it will remove an entry once its added.
Now the list has inverses, so its a Group. Further I can now let the list sort itself when a new element is added, thus now its an Abelian group.
Now There are two options, I can either leave it with the properties of a group, or I can force the list to contain only unique elements, then it becomes an Abelian Semigroup where each element is Idempotent.
A drawback to this might be that the structure is too limiting to accommodate some elements of code, but I can see this making it easier to reason about your code since everything obeys familiar mathematical theorems.
So should code be mathematical structures?
The only math I ever use for programming is pointer arithmetic.
>>57259151
it's important only if you're a meme coder
>>57259151
>How important is it for elements of code to be algebraic structures?
It's not. You should not limit or alter functionality to shoehorn something into common algebraic structures.
It's only useful for abstraction, and not more so than any other type of contract.
So I cracked my Samsung Galaxy S7's screen (because accidents), used it for a couple of months after that and now the "vertical light beam" is showing which I guess is from broken pixels. I doubt the phone will be fixable at this point.
So it's time to get a new phone, but it needs to be at a cheaper price. I was looking at the S6; is it worth getting it? How much would I lose in terms of speed performance?

>Screen cracks
>I doubt the phone will be fixable at this point.
???
Replacing the screen will in 99% of all cases fix everything related to the screen. You get a new digitizer AND LCD you know? There's nothing left to be unfixable unless it's a function you notice like the camera not starting.
