Riddle me this Wincucks. If your operating system is so good, why does 90% of Windows users on this board refuse to upgrade to 10? For such a glorious system an upgrade ought to mean only improvements right?
>>55088507
>90%
source?
People refuse to upgrade to something that spy them as much as it already does since seven
I wish javascript had pointers
>>55088419
While I dont see the point and think you just want to use js as if it was c, I suppose more features can only be a good thing
I wish js would've never existed or at least people stop abusing js for some stupid shit it wasnt made for
asm.js is terrible and you should feel bad about your post
What are 8-bit (or 16-bit with 8-bit support) ISA graphics card's with EGA that support MDA monitors? Card's that can do EGA, CGA and Hercules modes on a MDA monitor.
I only know of ATi EGA Wonder, but that's a card what's impossible to track down these days.
>>55088038
And except VGA Wonder
>>55088038
>ISA GPU
What? Never even knew they made those.
I have a diamond s3 at home, but that's pci
>>55088082
You had to output graphics to a monitor somehow before PCI came along, you know.
You ready for the best linux distro ever made?

Wow!
At this rate I'm not sure what they're accomplishing. Chasing behind Ubuntu LTS is a pretty lame game plan when 16.04 is just as usable for a newcomer. This only ever needed to be a DE project.

What are some good resources for python?
Some decent tutorials and lessons?
I've done some searches, but I am using py3 and most are written for py2 with a great deal of frustration as syntax has been changed.
Thanks...
>>55087992
> Some decent tutorials and lessons?
Mark Lutzs 'Learning Python' and 'Programing Python'
>>55087992
Just code monkey around, you won't make anything decent with python anyway
Wait. Did you just buy an ide for a language you don't know?

Welcome to /fglt/. We are always open to users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try GNU/Linux, you can:
0) Install a GNU/Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
1) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full GNU/Linux experience".
2) Dual-boot GNU/Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about GNU/Linux)
3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with GNU/Linux
Before asking, please search for answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe WINE can make up for it.

Manjaro Linux is my fav.
Just installed Debian 8 XFCE
How do I make the login screen prefill my username instead of having to type it every time?
What's currently the best possible font rendering for a fresh Arch install? Vanilla freetype2, freetype2-ubuntu, or infinality-bundle?
Apparently some anon recently(?) made a convincing argument for why Arch is better than Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I advised to search the archives for this but couldn't find it, can somebody fill me in?
Not trying to start a war, I'm genuinely curious about what was said.
Who cares?
No, really, who cares.
When you remove the bragging rights and elitism of how customised your OS is, what you're left with is a computer that you do your daily tasks on.
Does it work? Can you do what you want to do? Perfect, then why care what someone else thinks.
>>55087439
Yes fair enough, but I can still be curious. Mostly I don't understand why so many /g/ays have been ragging on 16.04? Apparently it's shit, somehow, but it's given me no problems at all. I'm not considering switching to Arch, I'm just curious George.
Why would ubuntu be better? Filled with proprietary shit and it has a shitty package manager.
No proper AMD drivers.
what is this type of CRT called? it's not drawing using scanlines, is it a vector display?
>>55087303
Vector display with a special stencil inside for masking out letters and digits. (The electron beam can optionally be guided through the correct character on the stencil before being sent to the screen.)

>not a single AMD comparative option

Nice try
>>55086604
>16nm $450 cards from 2016 beat 28nm $500 cards from 2015
AMD will release their cards soon, and when they do, they will be treated the same way. It is possible that there will be no nVidia cards in the $250-$150 range.

I just realized how much fucking money I can make overcharging lawyers, restaurants, businesses etc. God damnit, Im asking mom and dad to buy me a suit and tie. Designing a business card and brochures now. Fuck this gay earth. I knew Wordpress was extremely gay, but I didnt know it WAS THIS. If I could I would send every 'Web Designer' to a Holocaust camp.
Also pls no bully on webdevs pls. Im not autistic and can sell people shit so I feel im about to be making some fucking bank. I know what im doing is gay.
The market for freelance webdev is extremely saturated and you will get your fair share of clients who will outright refuse to pay you.
And they know you won't pursue legal action because lost wages and legal fees would quickly cost more than what they owed you.
You should know what you're getting into.

My dad's a lawyer and has given my Aunt free help when it happened to her, which was only twice in the last 5 years shes been doing this shit
Windows 10 just had an update.
Thoughts /g/?
>>55085985
I just came back from the toilet so I'm void any thought on Windows 10. You should've posted this before I flushed my shit
You better delete all your cp.
>>55085985
are you need to microsam? updates every second tuesday of the month.
Is Go (golang) worth learning?
What are the pros and cons?
>pros
native networking built in
>cons
all the cons of C, with none of the benefits
Is the fact that it is so new going to cause any problems learning/using it?
>>55085807
yes, very few people will actually advocate Go because it's too different from C and offers no real benefits over C.
Also, a proper Go book (written by the same guy who wrote the definitive C book) was only published this year.
Not even google uses it in their production systems.
who here is the least gentile? I reckon it's me. I haven't bought a single computer part, laptop, phone, watch, laptop or anything since 2013. i've bought a gopro black edition but that's it.
>>55085369
I haven't bought a computer part in as long as I remember because I just take them from work and if they're ever being looked for (almost never) I just put them back.
>i haven't spent any money on computers in 3 years
good for you?
Why did you feel this needed a thread?
>>55085388
well its kind of funny because you guys feel good about buying things but I feel good about not buying things
