STUPID QUESTIONS THREAD

What's the shortest you can make this? I'm sure there's a way to make it a single ternary but my brain isn't working today

 var rowExtraClass = (DataFirst ? ((model.Data.Count) % 2 == 0 ? "debug-entry-even" : "debug-entry-odd") : "debug-entry-even");

>>45647046
Just so we're in the same page, you are doing this right?

if (DataFirst)
     rowExtraClass="debug-entry-odd";
else
   if (isEven(model.Data.Count))
      rowExtraClass="debug-entry-even";
   else
      rowExtraClass="debug-entry-odd";

Looks like the only circumstance in which you set the var to "even" is if both conditions are true. So:

var rowExtraClass = (DataFirst && m.D.C%2==0?) "debug-entry-even" : "debug-entry-odd";

>>45647046
>>45647187
nope i'm wrong
if Data First is true then there's a chance that it's even or odd, else it's definitely even
you are making two decisions so you need two statements (or a compound statement like you had) i think

Reason i ask is because im on a thinkpad with shit battery life.

There's an electric noise coming from my computer but I can't tell what exactly. It doesn't sound like coil whine since all the videos I've heard it in has the pitch varying and this is a constant noise.

It's almost inaudible, but if you try to listen to it you'll hear it and it's annoying.

Any idea what it could be?

I have two network cards one that is for my home computer and the other that is bridged to a vm that hosts my webserver. I am trying to forward port 22 home and port 80 to my VM. My website is functioning fine but ssh will not forward home. My router is only recognizing one IPaddress but two entries of it. If I refresh that page it will display two entries of the other IPaddress and will oscillate each time I refresh.

What exactly does

!= null

do in this case:

boolean foo = request.getParameter("foo") != null;

>>45648251
I that case it means that your request Parameter is not empty.

!= null means "not equal" null, ei the request parameter is not null.

>>45648251
If the returned value from getParameter is true, then make

 boolean foo = true;

Hello /g/

The Ram on my system has died and I am looking for a replacement, this is an older system so top tier performance is really not required, I would much rather prefer price over performance so a single 1x4GB is fine.

Specs:

Asus M5A78L-M/USB3
AMD 630 x4 @ 2.8GHz
550w PSU
1TB HDD

I was looking at this but to be honest I am unsure if this will work and if this is a good choice for price/performance:

Corsair CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9


Any help is greatly appreciated

There's a bunch of software I want to run on system startup (F.lux, for example) (windows 7)
Since I used SpyHunter most of the applications that used to start at startup no longer do so.
I check msconfig > startup and everything looks like it used to.
How to fix? Is this a registry thing, maybe?

The biggest change I don't like (aside from most of the icons) is that I can't seem to rename files for posting. Is there an option to do this and I've just missed it?

>>45649819

To answer your question, the 8GPU compute cores are like the same thing on a dedicated GPU. Each core is equivalent to 64 stream processors for a total of 512.

The 860K is just a 7850K with those 8 cores disabled. So unless you were going to crossfire, then they are useless to you.

Unless of course you mean if you could use them for non crossfire computing relating tasks like OpenCL rendering or something, in which case I'm not sure, but that sounds like some advanced wizardry.

Should I buy a gtx970 now or are new cards just around the corner?

>>45650034
There are always new cards around the corner. Just buy whenever you feel like it.
