Hello fellow anons of /g/.
We're currently running a poll at /lit/ to settle the score on science fiction's best author. Some of you may be interested in this.
I hear that cyberpunk is more popular here. Gibson is currently at count zero. The options are in pic related.
You can vote at:

Bump.
Got a couple of votes already. Gibson's still at zero votes, lol.
>Asimov getting upboated
Care to explain this rationale?
This board's fast.
>>56482294
Not even Gibson would vote for Gibson if you're talking best science fiction writer. He wouldn't even considered the best cyberpunk Author. Neal Stephenson has him beat all day in my mind.
Also, if you're not voting PKD, you deserve to be slapped with a dildo.
Decided that I don't need a 2 TB macOS partition on my computer. Going to have 1 TB Windows 10, 1 TB macOS Sierra and 1 TB some Linux distro.
I used to install Linux on laptops and shit but it's been a really long time. Even Arch Linux ARM on a Chromebook.
Any tips on first packages to install and distro recommendations besides Gentoo?

Void Linux is cool if you liked Arch, the installation is a little easier and it's less bloated, plus no systemd

Bravo, Apple
Why would they update them, basicaly the only thing giving them money are spoiled little girls and femboys buying iPhones.
>>56482134
iOS/iPhone updates are in September and macOS/iMac updates are in October. Are you even paying attention, OP?

whatever's the default on my current system.
summatra is good, but far from perfect.
Sumtra reads all the files I want it to read. Sucks that Linux doesn't have an equivalent. Too bad evince is shit with zoom.
sumatra on windows, whatever is the default elsewhere (evince, okular, preview) or mupdf.

Retarded programming question incoming:
In java, for a homework assignment I need to import LinkedList.java. We are given this file by the teacher. I can't even import the damn thing.
Wouldn't it be:
import LinkedList;
?
They're in the same folder. Any help would be appreciated.

>falling for the 'enrolling at a school that teaches Java' meme
Type 'programming' in the catalog and you'll find /dpt/, the daily programming thread, you jackass.
By the way, if you need help with this and you can't even use the catalog, computer science might not be for you. Just a thought.
>>56481821
It's import java.util.LinkedList;
Google it next time. Or at least ask in the programming thread. Fuck dude.
What is the archlinux of bsd distros? I want something that will work on new hardware (chromebook) and has lots of packages.
>>56481774
FreeBSD I suppose.
Then there's inherent shit security with BSD and FreeBSD's portsnap vulnerability that could not be fixed for months now.
Use a distro that let's you work, not makes you work
>>56482004
/thread
Also, majority of BSD flavors come as minimal installs. They don't require as much setup as Arch but are pretty close. So, any really.
but Like the man said, just don't do it. Go with something that works i.e. Linux
>>56481774
ArchBSD.
I fell for the arch meme
>dat disgusting font rendering
jfc
going back to ubuntu as I write this.
>>56481730
You are shitposting. You never could install Arch.
Shit font rendering is a problem with freetard/wannabe freetard distros like Debian and Fedora.
Nice try, newfag

Sup /g/. My girlfriend just started a new job with the trainline, well she came home today and said the OS they are using is Windows 94... WTF is there even a Windows 94? I've never heard of it. Please tell me there isn't she's 100% sure it was 94.

i used to use windows97.zip to hide naughty pics of one of my coworkers from my wife, never did anything with her, she just gave me a lot of naked dirty pics

Probably winXP/win7 with classic theme and normie gf thinks its "sooo oold lmaoo"
Does anyone know if it is possible to overclock my laptop a bit?
probably to about 2GHz?
It is a Lenovo 100s ideapad.
The CPU is an Intel celeron n3050..
Thank you
Don't

Why not?

Face it /g/, Apple will have the last laugh in all of this.
>>56481633
>people are forced
The horror. They're lining us up to buy ours right now. They've got machine guns, anon.
Its just a cycle. Eventually lightning will be old too. Then you will see this moment repeat. Loops are not only for mathematica.
>>56481633
>Spreads to other devices such as computers
No. Computer mainboards still had parallel ports decades after they stopped making the printers for with them.
3.5 is here to stay.
Any coders on /g/ that can point me to a good compiler/editer that is compatible with Java? Just started a college java basics class, and the curriculum uses jgrasp, but in my experience everything my school does is always ass backwards.

Eclipse. Or Microsoft Visual Studio, depending on what you prefer.
intellij and eclipse are the most popular
Alright guys I need to vent.

He made me take the day off (unpaid). Wandered around really thinking of what to do and I feel like such a huge fuckup. I don't know if I should continue working for someone I cannot fulfill his requests. advice /g/?
Try to get the fuck out of helpdesk-like work. That's bottom of the barrel IT and you will be very replaceable.
>>56481508
Try using project management, task manager apps and get super-organized and let the apps remind you of everything.
Just go to a shrink for your adhd nigga.
