C is a horrible language. It's made more horrible by the fact that a lot
of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much
easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if
the choice of asm were to do *nothing* but keep the C programmers out,
that in itself would be a huge reason to use asm.
In other words: the choice of asm is the only sane choice. I know Miles
Bader jokingly said "to piss you off", but it's actually true. I've come
to the conclusion that any programmer that would prefer the project to be
in C over asm is likely a programmer that I really *would* prefer to piss
off, so that he doesn't come and screw up any project I'm involved with.
C leads to really really bad design choices. You invariably start using
the "nice" library features of the language like stdlib and stdio and other
total and utter crap, that may "help" you program, but causes:
- infinite amounts of pain when they don't work (and anybody who tells me
that stdlib and especially stdio are stable and portable is just so full
of BS that it's not even funny)
- inefficient abstracted programming models where two years down the road
you notice that some abstraction wasn't very efficient, but now all
your code depends on all the nice typedef models around it, and you
cannot fix it without rewriting your app.
In other words, the only way to do good, efficient, and system-level and
portable C ends up to limit yourself to all the things that are
basically available in asm. And limiting your project to asm means that people
don't screw that up, and also means that you get a lot of programmers that
do actually understand low-level issues and don't screw things up with any
idiotic "portable assembler" crap.

I didn't mean that... I meant getting results for text from my own files to get relevant documents etc....

>>55227891
why would you use the word 'google' there gosh i almost had a seizure
anyway you wanna search based on the content of the file and not the name? that sounds interesting. you should be able to do that with plaintext files fairly easily but .docs and such may be a little tricky

What the fuck? Opera comes with a free VPN.
I know Opera has a lot of problems since it's the leader in terms of feature, this might lead Chrome/Firefox to also offer free VPN.

I just got an email from AT&T that they're going to put us at a fucking data cap of 600GB/month
we literally JUST signed up for gigabit internet, what kind of fucking scheming jewish garbage is this?
we've been with AT&T since it was fucking bellsouth and this is how they treat us
I'm going to leave AT&T. what are some providers that aren't evil incarnate?

I worked for AT&T for a couple years and the data cap has since then been 500GB/month. You should be grateful that they're giving you 100 more. Also, it's not even a hard cap, you only get a letter. You're probablyone of those dickheads that consume 15TB a month because you're selling it to your nigger neighbors; in that case I have no sympathy for you and you deserve every cap they give you.

So my dad just handed me a free Raspberry Pi or whatever these things are called.
I have no programming skills at all, im a junior system admin so I only know basic scripting a little.
How or where do I even begin and what should I even do with it? I have no idea what this thing is capable of.

All memes aside, is Gentoo a waste of time? Portage seems a bit over the top and unnecessary, but why would it be the God of /g/ if it sucked?

pretty much depends on your needs. Your distro should be fitting your needs and nothing more or less. If you are doing well with w/e you have installed then why listen to /g/ and switch to gentoo?
Asides from that: yes, it is pretty much a meme

It stems from an ancient reddit meme that /g/ co-opted for itself.

Is it possible to move decision making online /his/?
I mean to have a user friendly system that sorts questions and answers and suggestions of thousands and millions of people according to their similarities, much like google does with searches.
If we examine occupy movements and all sorts of recent public riots/gatherings it seems that organizing the people is easy through the internet but directing the outrage and masses towards a solution, towards actual demands and changes seems very problematic.
I mean, societies can in theory already create referendums and nation wide polls about what people want to do without the government being involved at all..
The problem is to then utilize information to push the exact buttons for change to happen and a lot of it seems to do with the fact such actions require precision in decision making and demands which need a system that can sort them hierarchically or in some efficient way.
A system that would sort decisions and suggestions of a society or a large amount of people utilizing and calculating in expert opinions and different modes of identification.
In fact, if such a system can be made there would be no need for any real life gatherings.
It would essentially be a replacement for government. It would calculate and understand what you personally think of different issues, it would sort issues from all sources, categorize them, offer them for debate and voting and would have several levels like neighberhood, city, nation etc...
A user would simply input his opinions and desires and the system will try to translate them to the language of the system, meaning sorting through the different issues raised by other people and their solutions, giving your vote to what fits your desires.
Is it viable today?

In fact, such a system can start from small things, representing and helping to coordinate residents within a single apartment house but then it can slowly spread to neighberhoods and cities.
It is exactly the sort of thing that does not already require people in power to agree on.

How broken are they?

>>55227281
The left earbud doesn't produce any sound.
>>
Buy new ones. Earbuds use notoriously thin cables and are completely not worth repairing. You'd need a good soldering iron, steady hand, a solid dash of experience and some heat shrink tubing to get even a shitty fix.
If the ear bud itself is broken you'll need to be a microsoldering pro, but then you wouldn't be asking this question.
Get proper IEMs (in-ear monitors). If you're really too poor to replace them, you'll still need a soldering iron to fix them (which I guess you don't have)

How can one have max torrent download speeds with upload completely disabled?
My ISP has started monitoring for torrents and uploading (contrary to downloading) is illegal in my country.
Since I will be downloading several terabites I wanna play it safe.
TL;DR: how to leech
