Why would you use a shit """"browser"""" full of security holes like this shit and then claim it's more secure and has no botnet? Are you literally retarded?
>>62078497
What """browser""" is not full of security holes? Are you literally fucking retarded?
>>62078890
firefox doesnt even compete in pwn2own any more because it's too shit
>>62078497
Firejail, and agent spoofer, and NoScript severely limits the amount of damage that anything on the web can do to my system. DNSSEC/TLSA Validator and HTTPS Everywhere limit the damage I can do to myself online.
While Chrome can do almost all of these things, they can not do NoScript. Therefore, I would argue that FF is more secure.
What would the GNU/Linux version of this look like?
It would be someone ricing out a Civic with a massive spoiler and neon lights only for the thing to stop working at a stop light until you change a fuse
>>62078456
This is obviously about hardware.
If you couldn't tell, GNU/Linux is software.
I don't understand object oriented programming. Functional programming was so easy to learn. It was intuitive and mathematical. But OOP is so much more contrived. I have failed to even see the point so far. It just seems to be like OOP is just compulsive organisation autism manifested in code.
I've only been using programming for mathematics, though, so maybe I'm biased. The only reason I would even bother with Java instead of Haskell or Python or even C++ is that Java is so much faster.
Anyone have any tips for grasping it more easily?
Think of every object as a type of variable and
Think of methods as a group of functions based around manipulating this type of variable..
>>62078374
i feel you senpai
i get infuriated when i need to use a perl module and the only interface to it is object oriented
>>62078404
This one.
Don't overthink what object is.

>>62078148
And that's exactly why you shouldn't.
>>62078148
You have no idea. I usually charge a flat 20 bucks for software work and/or diagnosing hardware issues. I refuse to do hardware work, however, because if I get a part that doesn't work, then I have to either eat the cost of exchanging it, and it isn't worth it at 20 bucks flat.
Anyways, the problems are usually so mind-numbingly simple that it boggles the mind, and takes about 10 minutes to fix, and I COULD charge triple the price and still beat the local repair shop, both in price and time taken for a repair.

That's a low voltage mobile chip.

Isn't Vega a meme? I'm probably going to buy a 1080ti when they drop.

At clocks and voltages these mobile chips are running? It's great.

Why does my JS look like lisp since ES6?
Anyone familiar with React here?const handleError = (event)=>{
event.target.setAttribute(
"src",errorImg.string,
);
};
I want to style this image tag when onError fires as opposed to just changing the image, preferably a border around the image but I'm not sure how to do it.
>>62078231
use the same code and set attribute "style" instead of "src" lol

Samsung heir was sentenced 5 years in prison.
The problem is that current gov't want to squeeze more money out of Samsung for them to fund their welfare program and if they aren't willing to comply, current leadership would sabotage Samsung by any means necessary.
Then which company does /g/ think will be the next samsung? Xiaomi?

Well that, and the fact that they are the rightful Korea since they came first.
