I know shit all about laptops (well probably above the average person) and need help buying one.
I did some researching and it seems that the Lenovo Ideapad 700 (the one thats 600-750usd).
I need a laptop that looks professional for presentations, and can handle most games quite well (maybe not at the highest settings), and can work well as a general use laptop.
My price range is max $750, what is the best bang for my buck?

fucked up: Seems like the ideapad 700 is the best for price.
Another thing worth mentioning, I am located in Canada so some retailers would be of no use to me.

There is none

I mean, is there a laptop that costs less or the same with better specs?

Hello, I am currently studying both SICP and HTDP2e.
I have hit a little block and cant find any solutions to learn from since these are the very beginning examples and are probably easily understood by most.
>TL;DR
If you have a link to EVERY exercise solution to HTDP2e please share, if not read on:
Here is the example from HTDP2:
>Exercise 3. Add the following two lines to the definitions area:
(define str "helloworld")
(define i 5)
Then create an expression using string primitives that adds "_" at position i. In general this means the resulting string is longer than the original one; here the expected result is "hello_world".
Here is my solution that solves it but I believe is not exactly how they meant it to be solved, given that exercise 4 right after asks me to DELETE the "ith" character in the "str" string. (So far, nowhere does the book mention how to simply add a string somehwere in the middle of another string, or delete any specific portion of a string)
>(define str "helloworld")
>(define i 5)
>(string-append (substring str 0 5) "_" (string-ith str i) (substring str 6))
Thanks in advance for the help and insight!

I suppose
>(string-append (substring str 0 5) "_" (substring str 5))
Would solve it without needing to reference (define i 5) but then what was the point of defining i for the exercise? Also, It isnt tehnoically adding the "_" to the position of i but rather just appending the substrings of str around "_" which isnt what the exercise is asking...
I just feel like I cannot find any string operator that lets you add stuff in the middle of a defined string.
>>
Also, for those who havent read the book so far the only string operators mentioned so far are:
>string-length
>string-append
>string-ith
>number->string
and
>substring
>>
I understand this is simple shit, but I am still trying to figure this out, here is the webpage I am using that lists all of the operators you can apply directly to a string, not one of them mentions anything about being able to place a character in a defined string at a certain position of the string.

Ubuntu is again, the best Linux distro; it's over, pack up your Arch-shit, and your Gentoo, Ubuntu is Linux. It's the most well-polished, best-looking, most-supported, most-popular Linux distro out there, and it's the least buggy one; your average data engineer and IT student uses Ubuntu, kids use Ubuntu, even your fucking grandma is going to start using Ubuntu soon.
Ubuntu is what represents mainstream Linux to the public. Ubuntu is used in big corporations, in schools, libraries, governments, phones, tablets, etc.
All other Linux distros are btfo

Is Java a meme or does anyone actually us it for developing software? It feels like whenever im using Java im focusing more on code design and abstraction than actually doing something useful like when im programming with C++

Win 7 fag here, I installed Linux two weeks ago, and I like it a lot. I'm considering making it my main OS. But i'm really concerned about the fact that I can't play any games on it.
I'm not a gamer by any means, but occasionally there's a game or two I'd like to try and enjoy.

The craving for any addiction will go away with abstinence + time. Use your computer for work, your mind for thinking, your bed for sleeping, and don't play videogames. Every minute you spend playing games is wasted

Apparently Chrome has now auto-forced Direct Write on with no option to turn it off anymore..on some websites this makes my eyes bleed. Found an article that explains it well
http://www.ghacks.net/2016/06/06/chrome-font-rendering-google/
Any way to still stop this or are there any browsers that don't use direct write?
