If I cram it all day everyday, how long will it take me to learn C# on acceptable level?
>>55896458
it takes probably a month to get through a decent intro book if you spend 4+ hours daily on it.
the hard part begins after that
10 years.

pay a pajeet $2 a day to do your work for you like an intelligent person.
I was wondering about energy!? feel free to share thoughts with me.
Would it be waste of time, in our time period to consider covering the whole sahara desert with solar energy? and is the land even for sale?
Sahara is already covered with solar energy.
With how the oil price crash i don't think other kind of energy is a good alternative. Unless you are living in a good neighborhood wheren no wetback/nigger going to steal your expensive solar panel.
The future is probably fusion energy but it's a long stretch and might be just a dream.

Solar panels are a sore point around here.
They were heavily subsidized by the government and the electric companies promised they would buy back surplus power.
Now the subsidy has expired and there is so much surplus power to be had that the price has dropped to 10% of what it was.
A lot of people spent >$10,000 in expectation that they'd never have to pay an electruc bill ever again. No longer true.
Add to that the problem that many panels are not the quality they were sold as. After 4 years in the sun they are crapping out. Some never worked and the installers have vanished with the money.

none on the market

Write your own browser then.
This is the very same post (just a random one I grabbed) in both Chrome and Firefox.
I don't know if I'm the only one seeing the difference, but despite both browsers having their fonts set to Times New Roman size 16, it looks different. I prefer Firefox, because it looks.. sharper? I'm not sure how to describe it, but I would like to make 4chan in Chrome look like it does in Firefox.
Is that possible?
>>55896423
Chrom* font rendering was always shit
that's just one of the reasons firefox is the superior browser and chrome is for people who don't know shit like old people, videogamers and retarded hipsters
Never saw an intelligent people using chrome as their main browser

true dat, firefox as always had better font rendering, everything looks blurry as shit in chrom*, to the point of inducing headaches (i cant stand it)
>Never saw an intelligent people using chrome as their main browser
im all against jewggle but, fuck you buddy.
being intelligent is not the same as being tech savvy, and even half of the tech savvy folks use chrom* in one way or another, to our demise.
Hey, g,
Second year of university is about to be started.
I learn programming; the first year I learnt the very basics of the computer science; now i have to choose if i want to learn Java or C++.
I prefer working on web as I am very interested in Tor, anonimity and cryptography in general rather than making games (I hate games)
should i choose java or cpp?
Haskell
It doesn't matter much, but I'll go ahead and recommend C++. It'll give you a better idea of how a computer works and make you develop less bad programming habits than Java would. Also you can do C++ dev as long as you just have a unix console where as Java is a pain without and IDE.
>>55896370
Tor specifically is written mostly in C. It would be most beneficial to you to learn C++ and the C network stack if you want to get started in "web"
Web devs are retards edition
Discuss the failures of MongoDB and whatever shitty JS framework that is the flavour of the month

.Need a GPU desperately, my PC is just gathering dust now. About to buy Gigabyte 1060 for 325€ in Europe. RX480 is almost out of the question now.
My main concerns and questions are:
1) Everyone is talking that 480 is more future proof than 1060 and that 1060 wont age well. Is this true? If yes, how long will it last me?
2) Is 325€ too much for this? Any idea when we can expect a price drop?
3) Are there any cheaper 1060's around? I dont need this LED shit Gigabyte has going for this card and they are obviously asking a premium for that. I just need a card that works.
Thanks for all the replies
bamp
guise please help
>>55896266
Summary of the situation related to your questions:
1) Whether or not the 1060 is going to age well compared to rx 480 is speculative. The 1060, albeit more expensive, is better now.
2) It's a lot, but us Europoors have to decide on our own whether it's worth it.
3) Supply is still low as far as i can see and I don't expect the price to drop.

Fuck me but how comes that 5-8 years ago "it just worked"?
You could install Ubuntu, it fucking worked.
You had Debian sid, and it was OK, no issues.
Even Mint was not so shitty a few versions back.
What the fuck is happening?
I thought the entire Linux ecosystem will get better since Valve picked it up, got a bit more popular, and so on. But so far I only seen a degradation in quality.
Werks on my machine™
>>55896107
Mint is less of a Ubuntu clone than it was few years back and that's the problem because mint devs are incompetent as fuck. Debian testing and unstable were always hacks that could work or could break at any time, nothing new really.
Ubuntu went to shit due to the fact that they keep clear deadlines. Now they push new versions out regardless of whether everything is ready or not. That's why we get stuck with LTS versions that are fucking broken day 1.
Install Arch or Gentoo and call it a day.
>>55896163
I used Debian sid for two years, mixed with experimental and that shit never broke. Same for Testing.
(I think Debian quality went down after Jessie's beta release or something like that. I remember the install getting fucked, testing becoming a mess and such back then.)
Mint? Well, years ago it just werked.
I can't even imagine what the fuck they did, what can cause two SSDs to work for minutes straight at ~140+ MB/s?
On a fresh install, nevertheless.
I bought this processor 5 years ago. No plans on upgrading in the near future.
What does that tell you?

I was browsing a magazine and saw an advert for makersacademy and have just looked at it. i am doing udemy courses on app dev and web dev and i am going to try to make this my full time source of income by next summer. i have a job already, but it gives me lots of free time.
Would spending £4,000 on this course pay off in the end? would it just get me a job in a city? if so how much?
i am reading their website for the first time, so i am unaware of them, but i though that /g/ would have some opinions about the whole thing.
Code bootcamps are an overpriced meme. You can get the same knowledge elsewhere for free
>>55896051
/thread
>>55896051
any tips of where to look? the udemy courses seem quite good, but i don't know what it is missing. books would be out of date by the time they are written.
could you recommend any websites that would guide me towards what i need to know or show me what i should be learning so i can compare it to what i know/will know.
thanks.
I work in a noisy office but headphones with active noise cancelling can't block random nearby human chatter. Also active noise cancelling is very expensive.
This headphone use passive noise blocking (same as in hearing-protective earmuffs):
https://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-1030110-Noise-Blocking-Earmuff/dp/B004U4A5RU/
Can this effectively reduce the sounds from random nearby human chatter?

Look /g/. I know many of you hate this. I can understand it, I mean, it lacks FLAC support or other less known formats, if you don't buy your music through there there's just too many fucking things to disable, it's not that customizable. It takes a fuckload of RAM on Windows, I would suppose it does on OSX as well.
But I like the thing it does with reorganizing music I add to the library, tagging files there is nice, and I do genuinely like the album art view (pic related). Can't I get foobar2k to be just like this?
>>55895871
you can get foobar2k to be pretty much anything you want. Whether you'll manage to do it is another question. The things you describe are pretty basic though.
>>55895871
>takes a lot of RAM
Not on macOS.
200MB of 16GB is nothing.
Ok guys, what the fuck happened to my laptop? I turned it off and after a while I saw its not off yet so I opened it and saw this. AVG says everything is fine
Install Gentoo.

I just upgraded my TV from an old 1080p Samsung to a new 4K Sony Bravia, and it's doing my head in!
I have a HTPC hooked up to it via HDMI, and I do not use the 'TV Features' at all.
My PC's resolution is set to 4K, and the TV is displaying 4K...
However, THE RESOLUTION LOOKS AWFUL. It's like the TV is down-scaling it from 4K to 1080p, then up-scaling from 1080p to 4K.
Text is full of artifacts and not smooth at all, and everything else follows suit.
I took a screenshot on the HTPC, and viewed it on my other PC's monitor, and it looks crystal clear.
The TVs menu's all display in crystal clear 4K as well, so it's not a defective unit or anything.
I would greatly appreciate ANY help. I've googled for hours and have no idea what's wrong, or what to do.
Pic unrelated, but the right half shows how bad shit looks.
>>55895809
>My PC's resolution is set to 4K, and the TV is displaying 4K...
Are you sure your ``PC'' is capable of producing that resolution without ``scanning & panning''?
>>55895830
Probably the TV doing post processing to your HDMI signal.
>>55895830
It's a high end PC build for VR. If this PC can't handle it, no PC can.
>>55895844
Any way to disable this?
