Is it worth learning XNA along with C# or should I learn another development tool since that's discontinued? Complete newbie here.
>>55579801
Xna is no longer developed by microsoft.
Instead you should learn monogame, which is very similar to xna, is currently supported and actively developed, and is multi platform. I'm working on a win/linux/mac game right now using monogame.
Use vs2015 community on win, and monodevelop on linux/mac. C# is a great language to work with and its quick to develop in. A bunch of fags will praise gamedev with c or c++, but its really not necessary unless your pushing the hardware to its limits. Also, c/c++ dev is slow and error prone.
Fair enough. What about Unity though, I heard it's the shit right now, am I supposed to learn that too?
Also are there any resources that walk you through Monogame, possibly treating you like a 5 year old in the process?
>>55579943
Reimers xna tutorials work for monogame. Just mix and match xna / monogame tutorials.
Fuck. Unity. Seriously. Unity forces you to use their retarded approach to game engines, doesnt allow you to do it your way, and punishes you for using a different design paradigm.
If you want to learn, do it on your own, your way, following tutorials. Start with the msdn screen manager tutorial to understand how to manage game state + screens. Make sure you know how to print to the console so you can debug basic shit, and then just build games. Try and fail alot, and learn. Its really fun.

Fingerprinting is the newest way of tracking you across websites.
It's being done right now by companies like Google.
Because unlike cookie based tracking you can't defeat it just by disabling cookies.
There is currently NO FOOLPROOF DEFENCE against fingerprinting (except quitting the Internet).
Google's privacy policy states
>Other technologies are used for similar purposes as a cookie on other platforms where cookies are not available or applicable
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/key-terms/#toc-terms-cookie
ReCAPTCHA probably contains fingerprinting code:
https://archive.is/9K5gs
This means that the majority of 4chan users could be being fingerprinted, and Google might know about your shitposting habits even if cookies are disabled.
Google releases limited hangout of how much they know about you:
https://news.slashdot.org/story/16/06/29/2038257/googles-my-activity-reveals-how-much-it-knows-about-you
>Oh, they're just remembering what YouTube videos I watched, nothing creepy about that, I already knew they were doing it!
>I guess all those people who fear tracking really are just conspiracy theorists!
Daily reminder to do all your Amazon / eBay / LinkedIn / botnet shit in a completely separate browser to your Googling or buying shit.
It's currently the ONLY way to truly defend against fingerprint tracking.
Double points if you have each browser running in a different VM with a different OS.
Triple points if you have each browser's VM configured with a different VPN connection.
Could the FP-Block browser extension be exactly what we're looking for?
Too bad it's unstable as fuck.

Steam controller was the biggest waste of my hard earned cash.
Valve can't do hardware. Why the fuck do they keep trying. What do they have to gain?

The steam controller was awful but honestly if they just redo big picture then the steam box wouldn't be as terrible

So, what Windows software do my /g/entoomen have on their machines? Which lesser used ones would you suggest?

Anyone got books/information/tools or anything on how to create your computer as anti-forensics and as secure as humanly possible?
Since windows 10 rapes privacy I would like to change that for my computer. Basically I want to have any information before a wipe invisible and have a reasonable amount of privacy after a wipe.
>learn how to use iptables
>don't use windows
>>55579717
I have heard only little stuff about it. Can you explain it more?
>>55579740
It is a firewall that you can use to filter/block packets. For example, say you wanted to only allow certain addresses or just localhost to connect to a certain service. This will prevent unauthorized access. You can also filter packets leaving your machine.

>tfw watching nvidia burn to the ground as AMD rises out of the ashes like a phoenix
This is it for nvidia. Any last words greenfags?
Bait
Also, AMD is going to keep fucking up until they are bought out by Samsung.
Nvidia could literally shit into a plastic case, put it together with a few woodscrews, and sell it for $299 and it would still get more sales than all of AMD's gpus combined
Lets face it, they already won the brand name war. AMD is the bad driver company that isnt the way its meant to be played, plus Nvidia sponsors good games while AMD sponsors shitty ones

Besides complexity, why do we say that it's impossible to write code without bugs? Is it because the program can have infinite number of inputs that influences the control of logic?
It would require a bug-free program be compiled by a bug-free compiler for a bug-free operating system on a bug-free processor in a cosmic-radiation-free universe
So no, it's impossible
>>55579429
Cosmic radiation can be shielded from.
>>55579334
We don't say that. It's just far harder to write than bug-free code is worth

Why haven't you converted to the dashchan master race yet?
All other chan apps pale in comparison.
Discuss. Complain. Debate. Shit post.
I still have clover. Seems that even without the updates, it works fine
>>55579850
This, I haven't updated since 1.2.11 and it still works, why switch?
I also have clover v1.2.11. Sweeping through images on a thread fails of you don't definitely swipe left or right. Some times a specific image refuses to load, unless you restart the app.
Dash chan has all of the same features, and less bugs.
As I started to use Linux I realised I need to be proficient with Bash and Python/Perl.
If I want to write my own system scripts, is Bash more preferable to Python? What are the pros and cons? Also, does python has code completeion like Bash/Zsh?
I am very new
>>55579216
Sorry for the typos as well
>>55579216
INITIAL D
bash is mainly used for small things.
Python is generally used for applications that are a little bigger.
There's no rule, really. You use what you want. There are some very small scripts written in Python and some enormus bash ones.
Hey /g/,
I'm looking into learning computer programming
(HTML, C++ etc) and would like to know more information.
If anyone has any information about it,
how to learn it, how to get jobs with it and
how to continue learning it would awesome to
hear your stories and advice.
Alittle background on me;
>24 years old
>started building and using computers @ 14
>above basic knowledge of computers
>never pursued coding, based on mathematical skills (never knew enough about it, school never offered any teachings on it)
So any information about it would be great,
not looking to be a SUPER UBER COMP H4CK3R, just looking to broaden my horizons.
Nobody learns that at school. Just search for some tutorials or guides to get you started. Make your own personal projects as much as you can. Come to the daily programming thread for any help.
Here are some thingies to do once you know the basics.
>>55579306
Thanks for the feedback!
Also, I've heard that computer coding
involves a lot of math. What math would be
involved?
I could certainly Google the answer, but I find that some sites "dumb" down or don't completely tell you exactly what you need.
So its nice to hear it from someone who actually does this for living.
>>55579206
Same here but 20 :D
Let's see the answers
What's /g/'s opinion on Smooth Video Project? I bought it because I like to support developers who make great shit. Also I fucking love watching movies on my 144Hz monitor.
For the uninitiated, SVP interpolates movies so you can watch 24 fps movies at your monitor refresh rate. You can use it for free but in the paid version you have some more features like black bar removal and performance enhancement.
>>55579187
It kind of looks like shit in my opinion. Some things look good but others look completely fake. It would be better if it was able to dynamically interpolate.
>>55579325
If by dynamically interpolate you mean interpolate while you are watching the movie, that is actually the sole purpose of SVP.
Its too ambitious. Even some of the best interpolating software is only used to go 50<>60, 24<>25 and 25<>30.
Going like 24>75 was always going to look shit.
