Hi /g/, what tools do you use to record and organize your thoughts.
I'm starting to feel overwhelmed by the number of things I need to do, and number of things I need to decide upon - and am looking for a place to record and search my thoughts
>>56412373
Plain text or paper
OneNote might be nice but I don't have a surface tablet
>>56412373
On linux, I use zen.
Windows, just notepad.
>>56412666
so you literally type it in? no stylus or anything?
>>56412640
i'm doing pen paper also but sucks for searching and you can't increase the size of a page.
Are you ready for the future of Audio?

4chan is not for advertising your kickstarter
>>56412385
OSSIC calibration process starts as soon as you put the headphones on. The data is instantly paired with our smart algorithms to determine accurate sound playback based on your anatomy and position. No laboratories required.
>>56412385
The project has over 2 million dollars funding so far. So it's obvious he's not advertising it here. He's just sharing it.

>realize it won't make me any happier if I had it
Fuck me.
Welcome to adulthood.
Make something meaningful instead.
>>56412358
This. even if you spend your whole life failing, at least trying gives you something to do to distract you from the yawning chasm of blankness that is your life.

>meaningful
surely you mean profitable
I have a car stereo that connects to my Ipod nano 4th gen. It can search by artist, album, ect. and works way better than a usb stick, which won't index properly for fast searching. Recently the 4th gen got old and died.
Will a newer Ipod work? Are there any cheaper alternatives that will work?
>>56412329
do you know how it connects to your stereo in the car? is there just the ipod connector, or is it some kind of standard audio jack?
I'm not too familiar with that, I connected a standard AUX cable once (3.5mm audio jack to some ISO audio "AUX" input)
>>56412380
it connects with a usb cable, not an audio jack.
I am wondering if there is a way to format a usb thumbdrive to read like an ipod. I pretty much just leave it in my car so I dont care about a screen or audio jacks, ect.
>>56412614
it might be possible that it accepts standard usb sticks, fat32 formatted or whatever up to 4GB maybe if old
>>56412318
I'm fine with it. I host my own email, so I wouldn't get anywhere if I didn't read it.
>>56412318
I have nothing to hide.
>>56413241
Apologize.
Are people too lazy to avoid websites or the comment sections?

what linux distro is the best for gaming?
Could this be bait?
Ubuntu
None, linux is a server os you dumb fuck.
Gentoo.
Recently started using a systemd distro (was previously on Ubuntu/Server 14.04). And boy do I like it.
Makes it a breeze to run an app as a service, logging is per-service (!), centralized/automatic status of every service, simpler/readable/smarter timers than cron.
Cgroups are great, they're trivial to use (any service and its child processes will automatically be part of the same cgroup). You can get per-group resource monitoring via systemd-cgtop, and systemd also makes sure child processes are killed when your main dies/is stopped. You get all this for free, it's automatic.
I don't even give a shit about init stuff (though it greatly helps there too) and I already love it. I've barely scratched the features and I'm excited.
I mean, I was already pro-systemd because it's one of the rare times the community took a step to reduce the fragmentation that keeps the Linux desktop an obscure joke. But now that I'm actually using it, I like it for non-ideological reasons, too!
Three cheers for systemd!
>>56412234
>You can get per-group resource monitoring via systemd-cgtop
Awesome, didn't know about that yet! Just another reason to like systemd
Glad to hear it's working out for you OP. I know the plunge can be scary but I'm happy I did it.
>>56412234
fuck off troll, baiter, or systemd shill
>>56412246
Stop clinging to the past you retarded hippy. SystemD is being adopted by most distros for a good reason, it's simply better.
Are there any looming shake ups in the storage market? Something like an incoming price-drop or a new technology coming? I'm not aware of anything myself, but maybe /g/ knows something I don't.
I'm about to buy a couple 6tb wd blues, and I'd rather not immediately regret it on the back of a big incoming price-drop or something.
Why do you need that much storage, anon?
>>56412185
I'll answer seriously. 1 drive is for storing videos/music/comics/pictures/games, the other is a backup of said drive.
Just incremental improvements as always
Also 'blue' drives over 1 TB are just rebranded green drives.
If you could release the source code of any one proprietary piece of software, which software would you choose and why?
>>56412069
Probably Adobe Photoshop because it's the #1 excuse for not switching to GNU+Linux.
Windows
windows probably? I'm curious because it's notoriously bad and it would open it up to being forked and improved.
/g/, what is your opinion on the best ways to learn a programming language? I just started learning JS and it's my first language. What ways do you recommend on learning. I tried the codecademy tutorial, but it's boring me way too fast.
I think that would depend entirely on what you intended to do with the programming knowledge you seek to obtain.
If you want to wear thick rim glasses, have a dumb haircut and drink coffee all day, you actually want to learn web scripting. The type of person that would post your image on social media unironically is probably a webdev and not a programmer.
If you wanted to learn programming to be a programmer, you should probably learn the procedural fundamentals in Python or Ruby, then the OOP fundamentals in C# or Java, then some system programming in C, all the while contributing or creating stupid little projects to build a portfolio and get experience.
/g/ has some infographics with coding challenges. After you finish a basic programming course for Python or something, they are an excellent start.
>>56412053
>jobs
search for TIOBE index.
>fucking around, learning for the sake of learning
pick your poison https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages
Id say look at Python first, but understand but there's a lot of things in there that makes it easy for beginners. After python, look at Java or C++ for object-oriented programming, and to add on to your knowledge for python. Of course also learn HTML, CSS, and some working JavaScript. If you like it, go into the .js libs like Node, Angular, etc. This would give you a pretty good foundation to be flexible for the job market.
If you want to dive deeper, try a functional language like Haskell or lisp , or dive deep with assembly. Also, know how to work a database with MySQL. Good luck mate, have fun!
Is the samsung magician botnet-friendly?
Will it record shit even if I don't allow it to?

Just remove it from autorun
SSDs are a maymay
>>56412025
they sure are..
ITT: we post opinions that are unpopular on /g/
I'll start
>I actually like windows 10, (specifically the education edition)
i like OS X
i wish it wasn't proprietary but that's not enough to stop me from using it
is it bad that I don't have any?
Video games are not important.
Apple, you better pay op.

Game over. Behave or pay
>>56411955
>Game over. Behave or pay
The EU is trying to make Apple pay taxes to Ireland that Ireland doesn't want. The benefits Ireland gets from Apple and other IT outfits being in Ireland dwarf the tax issues. If Apple has to pay they'll probably move elsewhere and so, probably, will the other IT firms. Maybe to the UK, which is no longer in the EU.
Will there ever be a company more ubiquitous and dominant than Google?
Amazon
>>56411840
Yeah, the corporation that will eventually buy or be bought by Google. Conglomeration and monopoly are the inevitable future, regardless if it's illegal 'today.'
