Is the Dell XPS 15 the way to go if you want a gayman laptop? I have a 500 GB SSD in my current laptop that I can just put in it so the slow storage isn't an issue.

with Java... Every time I need to figure out a Java program, I end up being in almost physical pain. Huge trees of empty nested directories and files with nothing but method definitions that do nothing but return a property... or, better yet, tons of empty functions called pure virtual.
It's hard to feel the logic and necessity of code when you can't stop being flabbergasted why the language has to be so verbose and complicated.

I admit I was wrong. Ubuntu is the fucking best and has done more than any other distro to make Linux easy for normal serious use.
I now truly see why Debian developers created Ubuntu.

CONGRATULATIONS OP
Instead of using an OS as a "normal serious" tool you are distro hopping and doing nothing but posting stupid threads on 4chan.
Great blog.

I have about 5 weeks free and I want to spent it buried in tech books learning shit.
ITT: Recommend me (and /g/) any tech book you think is good.
Can be on anything: networking, coding, systems admin, computer science, how-to-do-x, etc.
Can be at any level: beginner to advanced.
After I installed Gentoo I really learned Linux from this.

This is it. Intel's last stand before getting hit with the fine. That's four times the cost of the 'diversity and feminism' protection money they paid last year. Who else is hoping they go bankrupt?

Wow. It's literally fucking nothing to Intel.

As i can see on Window Maker site, last news is from 2014, so i should think that project is outdated or something like that? If it is, which nextstep/afterstep/windowmaker modern option should i use?

Get VLC from appstore. Then you have to save the Webm.
how secure is kik to use as far as privacy goes?
this article from last year states
>Kik*: Kik also gets an asterisk here. Messages are not end-to-end encrypted, so the company can theoretically read them. But Kik claims it deletes user messages from its servers as soon as they’re delivered to a user’s device. That means it wouldn’t be able to share your messages with authorities if requested, and the length of time during which it could read your messages is extremely short.
http://www.recode.net/2015/12/21/11621610/is-your-messaging-app-encrypted
yet i found another article where a kik rep said it is encrypted
>"Kik is kind of built in a way where the people that built the technology and the people that founded it—they wouldn’t want people to be able to read their messages so that’s one of the reasons why messages are encrypted and they aren’t stored on our servers."
so i'm kind of confused, can somebody that knows more about this clarify if kik messages are indeed encrypted end-to-end?

It should be clear by now that the NSA is storing all this data on their servers anyway. It doesn't matter if Kik stores it or not, that's the wrong question to ask.

>>55195147
well i'm asking if KIK does it

>>55195236
From a privacy standpoint it doesn't matter. They probably don't, but I'm willing to be they collaborate with big brother to give them what they need.

Why is it bad to use "C style" in C++? Like the c standard library functions, char arrays instead of strings, malloc instead of new keyword etc?

My friend has asked me to find her a gaming laptop (dont bother linking me products, the price is most likely to be different where I live anyway).
So based on her budget I gather she can get a 970m with 5700HQ/6700HQ. But which is better? MSi? Asus ROG? Gigabyte? ...something else?
And is it even worth investing in one now with the 900m-series being at its end of its life cycle. When can we expect to see 1080m/1070m?

School is out. It's surplus season!
What did you get?
Today I got this Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP for $40. I think it's a pretty good find. It's a wide-gamut monitor that needs a custom color profile to be used properly.
Thrift store finds are also welcome!

is this syntax actually worth learning? ive barely heard of it before, whats the uses?
>>
>>55194628
Elixir is Erlang with nicer syntax. It's based on Erlang and compiles to the same bytecode. Since it basically is Erlang, it's good at handling a shitload of concurrent connections passing information, fault tolerance, and scales well up to large distributed applications. Erl

I hope that Elixir doesn't end up like Erlang. Really powerful, really good at its job, but obscure enough that businesses won't use it because they can't find developers. It might be too weird for people to migrate to.
People don't seem to be making very much buzz about this release.
