There are approximately 3.156 x 10^7 seconds in a year. Write a program that requests your age in years and then displays the equivalent number of seconds.
The mass of a single molecule of water is about 3.0x10^-23 grams. A quart of water is about 950 grams. Write a program that requests an amount of water, in quarts, and displays the number of water molecules in that amount.
There are 2.54 centimeters to the inch. Write a program that asks you to enter your height in inches and then displays your height in centimeters. Or, if you prefer, ask for the height in centimeters and convert that to inches.

Hello /g/. I recently go my hands on a prehistoric computer. We're talking 600MHz CPU clock and 128MB RAM.
It runs XP surprisingly well (slow, I mean ok, it's 600 fucking megahertz), but XP aren't good enough for a haxxor like me (although I'll probably dual boot for software compatability issues).
Here's what I want: I want the laptop to run Debian or Ubuntu (or arch, don't sperg out) without any GUI.
Is removing the display manager and then running autoremove enough to do it?
And what if I want to swich from this CLI mode to a normal GUI? Can I run the DE on demand? Will it take up ram if I'm not using it, ie does it need to be loaded at the kernel at all times or something?

On every distro you have 7 consoles. 1-6 and 8.
7 is usually X, the Desktop.
Install whatever distro you want, hit CTRL+ALT+F1 and enjoy your CLI life. Want a GUI? Hit CTRL+ALT+F7 and back are you.

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.

Do you touch-type?
Do you feel it's an important skill for coders and other profesionals who type often?
What are your experiences/stories on this subject?

Touch typing is not important. I type fine with three fingers. It's all about how experienced you are with your style.
>>
>>54872639
Didn't imply you can't type fast as hell, but maybe touch-typing makes it more likely and/or easier to achieve?

Touchtyping fast as hell since I was 11.

In most real-world programming tasks, probability theory proves as worthless as it is pointless. Linear algebra has essentially no connection with real programming in the real world, unless you need to solve systems of simultaneous equations, and in most cases there are a lot simpler ways of getting to a solution that works in the real world than solving sets of simultaneous linear equations. The Monte Carlo method is one example (and you don't need to know probability to implement Monte Carlo, you only need a decent psuedorandom number algorithm) and there are many more.
Arrogance has always been the besetting sin of programmers. Unfortunately, unlike engineers who build bridges or physicists who build rockets, a programmer whose design fails can always just blame the machine -- "bad compiler," "not enough memory," and so on.
YOU DON'T NEED MATH AND FUCK CALCULUS
Poc related is what happens when "programmers" learn useless things like math and algorithms analysis instead of useful things like how to design programs

I'm pretty sure linear algebra is mostly taught to be a gateway for abstract algebra and ultimately category theory, which can be useful for programming. A lot of useful functional programming constructs (like monads, which are fucking everywhere now) are derived from structures in abstract algebra and category theory, and it's everywhere in PL theory.

That phone number thing isn't so bad. It means people are less likely to enter invalid input, and it's not like the developer had to type out all those options by hand - it would be trivial to generate them with a script.

I got an iPhone that was left behind at a bar and never claimed and it is locked a the activation screen. Is there any legit way to get around or remove this? There's a bunch of sites offering it for cash but I have no idea if its even possible before paying.

GPU died the other day.
Game tabbed out, colour started to die, I reset, and was greeted with tons of static/artifacting.
I don't have a spare PC to test the GPU, but I've tried different pcie slots, monitors, uninstalling drivers, cleaning everything, nothing changes.
Should I just accept it's death and move on?
