first for C++ is faster than java

why does "fast C++" need months to optimize and always starts with a bunch of #include <c...> lines and java which is pretty fast is just java anyone would write quickly in production ?
Is M$ perpetrating misogynistic sentiment by making a core feature of their OS symbolic of a woman, that has become intrusively possessive?
>M$
super edgy
Cortana isn't a woman its an AI, and if you read that far into things without realizing that, you deserve misogynistic sentiment.
>>55811513
>female name
>female game character
>female default voice
sure, totally not symbolic of a woman. They really nailed it, creating gender-neutral AI.

What are downs of a Samsung S7?
- Touchjizz
- Knox
Other than that, I cannot think of any?
I need a smartphone which I can root, and then proceed with downloading 3rd party software (not google store) on it and using it.
I also want to cut of the spying activities of all the apps, but still use it.

>I need a smartphone which I can root, and then proceed with downloading 3rd party software (not google store) on it and using it.
Pretty much every phone can do that. But samsung phones specifically are harder to root because of knox and how locked down they are.
touchwiz aside, it's a good phone. absolutely over priced, annoyingly locked down, but a good phone. there are other options if those are your main goals.

What distro does Bossman use?
>>55810532
Xubuntu iirc, though he used to run Gentoo. He uses windows now because there are no decent video editing programs on linux and various hardware issues he has had iirc.
Windows 10 because he actually needs an operating system that works for employed people.
>>55810532
Passive digressive anger v.1
Okay.
I have been using Windows 7 for years, and I've loved every second of it. "The definitive Windows experience!" I tell people. "You can't beat it!" I'd shout. "Don't upgrade to 8! It's trash!"
Then, I got a new laptop with Windows 8 (and later 8.1) and I discovered I was right. I hated 8 very much. It was too gimmicky and wasn't as sleek and clean as 7, nor did it operate the way I wanted it to. Felt very... wrong. So I continued to stick with 7.
Then, 10 rolls around and I'm like "Oh-ho, no sir - not falling for that bullshit again. I'm fine with 7, thank you."
Well, now, I'm visiting my parents for the weekend and my mom has a new Windows 10 computer, from which I am typing on right now. I made an account, singed it, and am working a bit with it... and I kind of love it. Granted, I'm not really installing any software, and I've only been on it a couple hours, but it's really pretty nice. I know I missed the "free update" deadline (which I'm not so sure I could get anyway - I kind of pirated Windows 7. In fact, I don't think I've paid for Windows since.... damn, XP. I'd be willing to pay for 10, though.
Shoot me straight, though. Is it more than a pretty face? Are there underlying inferiorities to 7 I'm just not seeing because of this alluring coat of paint? What about software restrictions? I have a lot of Steam games and software (that... I pirated throughout the years...) that I want to work on my computer, and I want it to work if I upgrade.
Also I heard something about Obama spying on me or some shit, I dunno - any merit to that?
One more thing - is the "subscription based" Windows really gonna happen soon? If so, that is... awful.
Opinions? I know yall got lots of those.

fuck off, pajeet

Most of /g/ won't really know the key benefits to it, we're mostly all just shilling against it because we're western, free working, pajeets.
It seems solid but i would look into it anon, chances are you'll be getting "MUH PRIVACY" replies from Linux users.
Have to move to naziland for 2 years(from Russia). Need a laptop.
Initial choice was t460s, but turns out it has unbelievably shitty autonomous life(5 hours tops), dim display and relatively high probability of a defective keyboard/trackpoint.
Another choice is X1 Carbon, which is less sturdy, has absolutely no options for upgrading along the way and no option for a non-backlit keyboard.
Both are pretty much the same: 6600U Cpu, 16Gb RAM, 256Gb SSD and 2560x1440 IPS screen. Both have relatively lacking gpu (hd instead of iris).
Will use for latex, browsing, 10-bit anime and occasional coding. All that on Linux.
I will not be able to return or replace the laptop once I've got it, so I'd really appreciate your input.
My previous laptop was t530, but the mobo died after some water got on the keyboard, so I don't care for drainage pipes.
Bump, have to buy today/tomorrow.
Come on, /g/, I know that you have an opinion.
Couple more desperate bumps and will probably settle on Carbon.

any tips on how to pimp out my desktop?

Nobody has used the term 'Pimp out my ...' in 15 years; it's as old now as 'radical' was in 2001
Muh poorfag specs
AMD Phenom II x4 955 @ 3.2Ghz
8Gb of RAM @ 1333Mhz
Zotac GTX 950 OC
250Gb Samsung 850 Evo
1Tb Seagate Barracuda
500w EVGA power supply
And all of this held together by an old In-Win Z589 case.
Fuck your guts, I'm all up in your girls guts. Get on my level! All your shitty PCs don't even match up to the cost of my furniture.
New guts.

All that expensive furniture, and a wired 5$ mouse. Genius.
I have jumped ship from AMD to NVIDIA.
No regrets.
Have i done you proud /g/?
You did good. Fuck AMD and their sinking ship.
Yep. I did too. Welcome.
Nice. I recently did the exact same. Though you probably could've saved $22.98 by buying at a Best Buy or free shipping from Newegg.

the extended numpad looks pretty amazing, but they really should have dropped one of the keys on the right side of the spacebar and and made the ones on the left 1.25u. the spacebar is terribly off center
Why does /g/ hate the gtx 970 so much?
Regardless what anyone may say, it's still a 4gb card with full access to all 4 GB on board ram.
It's a really good card. Actually the #1 most popular card on Steam.
/g/ is filled with autistic poorfags though who hate on anything Nvidia.
>>55809369
nobody likes being lied to and scammed
Nvidia's already finalizing/settling/paying for the multi-million dollar class action lawsuit because of it.
But hey, enjoy your cheaper 970 I guess, and make sure you buy nvidia again so you can maybe profit a little more off the next class action lawsuit when they scam you.
>>55809380
>>55809369
Yeah, it's a nice card, but flaved nonetheless.
Set textures to Ultra High in GTA 5 (just example) and your video memory usages goes over 3500MB and the FPS goes dropping down.
While the same performance Radeon only has a few frames dropped because of the higher texture size.
I need a smartphone, no more than $250 what's the best I can get?
Nexus meme 5?
>>55809106
A Nexus 5 is a solid choice, but they have pretty awful battery and $250 could get you a Nexus 5X if you settle for less storage.
A OnePlus One is also a good option. Lots of storage. Decent battery. Still usable as a smartphone.

What do you guys think is the best programming language to start with as a beginner? I've heard Python, but I've also heard beginners should start with something more complicated like C++ as it will make them better in the long run.
>>55809006
>What do you guys think is the best programming language to start with as a beginner?
Ruby is good.
Very intuitive and easy to learn and really teaches you OOP. I like the syntax and it's just a pleasure to use
>>55809006
So you want to learn programming?
Pick a starting language. For beginners, there are generally two recommended "programming families" that you can choose to start learning:
-Dynamically typed/interpreted programming languages, such as: Python, Perl, Ruby
-Statically typed/compiled programming languages, such as: C, C++, C#
These are amongst the most popular languages in use worldwide, including 4 from the top 5. Both approaches are perfectly fine, and well-documented.
-Dynamically typed programming may be a bit more flexible, convenient, and forgiving. It is more popular in academia.
-Statically typed programming is a bit more suited for making general applications. It is more popular in industries.
Cannot decide? Flip a coin.
If you choose statically typed/compiled programming, you may want to start with C, then pick up C++. C is very well documented, and teaches many universal programming concepts. C++ is based on C, and adds new concepts. Sources:

If you choose dynamically typed/interpreted programming, you may want to start with Python. It is very easy to pick up. Here are some good sources:
