I saw a post before about how somebody was given this challenge and this was the way he handled it, and whilst this gives the result, it was still essentially using multiplication and not finding an alternative solution.

What would be a better way to tackle this?

Python if you just want to add a new language

Java if you want to learn OOP (I will be torn to pieces for this suggestion). Python/C++ will also do, but I suggested Java solely because of the immense and structured documentation that exist for it on the oracle page

If you want to put to use the functional elements in javascript (and recently java) touch on Scheme

if you want to webdev look at css and html, and react.js (will also be torn to shreds for this one)

if you absolutely have to go for something functional, do OCaml, do not be tempted by haskell/scala. lisp is also optional but it wont satisfy your needs in this catecory

If you want to be useful do C and C++. Understanding pointers/stacks etc all the CS concepts is important, and learning from hard experience is better than reading about it in a book

if nothing interrests you, 'learn' sqlite, knowing how to use sqlite, postgreql etcetc is immenesly beneficial and it shoulnt take long

Hey /g/,
I'd like to get a quickstart in Javascript.

>How do I summarize the data?
This is more of a statistics question than it is technology - though, STEM majors probably know more statistics than anyone else. bAnyway, this is quite a complicated question, and it depends on how you're gonna implement data structures for your program. Since you're asking about how to summarize data given a sheet with names, age, sex, and a condition, I would recommend getting a rudimentary understanding of SQL, since that's one of the biggest standards for anything database relatd

I decided to install Linux Mint over my Win10 installation. I ended up with Linux Mint, but whenever I want to install Windows again, my laptop simply ignores the installation media, be it USB or DVD. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this? I thought it was a UEFI issue, but apparently it isn't. Thanks.

>>56109597
looks fine

how was your reception? your last card had bigger antennas, if you're within 10 meters of your AP, then these tiny ones will do fine, otherwise consider a card with antennas such as;

Generally the best idea is to install windows first so you don't have to fuck around with GRUB twice. Make sure you don't use the whole drive and save enough space for linux.

It does recognize the USB but it just passes it and goes on booting Mint.

>>56109697
I can get an i5 6600 3.2 that comes with a cooler. Do those coolers work well though?

>>56109744
the chipset is on your motherboard.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1151#Skylake_chipsets
Did you just randomly pick a motherboard and hoped it work?
Z170 are the most expensive ones because they let you overclock your CPU. Your CPU isn't unlocked though so it's of no use to you.

>>56109646

sorry for "shilling" good taste

>>56109774
Thought you meant the motherboard. I picked one that is compatible with all the other things and had extra room for upgrade later one.
So I can get an i5 6600. I think it is still a Skylake though.

That's a pretty tall order

The stuff that you most definitely will need is html and javascript for anything on the web

android: java + html
iOs: objective-C
no way around these two, as far as I know

My advice to you is to pick either front-end or back-end and then, full stack developing

I think it could be difficult for someone fairly new to create anything of worth by themselves

My suggestion for you, if you know 0/little programming:
1: learn python, and learn it well. This will take months
2: learn sql along with bash, and learn to use sql with python. this will take a week to get a foundation, a month to learn pretty well for whatever it is that you are capable of at this stage
3a: learn Java. This will suck and dissuade you a bit. It will take some time
3b: learn gtk+ or qt to make GUI's for python. Just to get a hang of it and to understand it.
4: Its time for Java no matter what. I dont know anything about your pace, but this might be 1 or 3 months. Learn threads, this is important. Not just threads, the theory behind them, such as race conditions and the like. This is important if you ever want to program for the device you're using. This is a horrendus step altogether but threading (not realy threading) on python is bizzarely bad. And you need java anyway for mobile apps
5a: You are ready for android apps
5b: You are ready for objective-C
5c: Learn how to use webGL. This is browser based graphics, like games. The fragment shaders will be the most difficult thing you ever do in life unless you've taken QM

He/they put up rips in 720 and 1080p. Yes, that's perfectly fine.
Most TV's and monitors can't even display higher resolutions then that.

Sadly there's quite a few cretins around who'll tell you that anything lower then a 12gb bluray with 51 audio channels is sub-par.

I had a 3tb external barracuda and was planning to use it as a backup drive for my server. Didn't get around to using it until like 6ish months later when I was upgrading my old server with some new parts. Backed up my 2tb of movies, TV shows, etc. Like 2 days later had the new mobo, GPU, and drives. Put in new ssd for boot and wiped my old 3tb to put it in a raid 5 with some new drives. When I got the system all up and running I went to copy my media back onto the new server setup but the drive wouldn't show up. I did everything I could to scan for filesystems, replace cords, etc, with no avail. Lost a few years of media for a piece of shit Seagate that couldn't even last a week the first time I used it. Those fucks wouldn't even replace it since it only had a 30 day.

that's not what he was talking about you dumbass. you chose a non-K series CPU which are LOCKED, but you chose a Mobo specifically for overclocking. pick the cheapest fucking LGA1151 mobo you can.

and if CPU is important for you (please mention fucking WHY it is) why the hell are you downgrading from an i7 to an i5 ?

Also, factory overclocked RAM is a meme unless you specifically know for a fact your programs are extremely RAM intensive (and i dont mean that as in just using lots of ram or so you can have more programs open, im talking database shit here).

also you're buying a fucking outdated GPU you retard. just get a RX 480.

also you dont need a fucking CPU cooler if you're not buying an unlocked CPU for overclocking.

just because it says 720p or 1080p doesnt mean it's automatically good.

I mean with programs like that, any cpu will bottleneck any recent (say, HD6850 and faster) gpu. Some decent winny games - like Armed Assault, Crysis (it supports multithreading, but its completely useless) Arma2 and SHOC - are like that.

Its correct, but if you want to, you can easily switch sides and compare temps while running prime95 or something.

Just make sure the airflow is in the same direction (front->back)

Well thank you. I don't know all these stuff (how to find which parts are for overclocking etc). All I see in motherboards is to be compatible with the other parts and to have all the outputs that I need.

The RAM is one of the cheapest in the category so why not? I like Kingston.

CPU and RAM first because I will use Photoshop, Premiere and Ableton.

I have had Radeon stuff for a decade. I want to go back to Geforce and Intel this time. I will look into the RX480 though.

CPU cooler I am buying because the CPU doesn't have one or if I choose one that has it might be noisy/not as good quality.

C newbie here, just started reading and skimming through K&R and looking through various C tutorial sites to try to understand C. I've gotten to the chapter on pointers in K&R, and I feel like I understand the basics of pointers. But in section 5.6, titled "Pointer Arrays; Pointers to Pointers," I'm a bit stumped on arrays of pointers to character data types. Specifically, if I have something like

char *lineptr[5000];

how do the indices work, and what exactly do I have 5000 of? I have 5000 elements that are pointers to character data types? Or I can hold 5000 strings of any size? Or I can hold enough strings whose total memory is less than or equal to 5000? Because in earlier sections, they initialize an array of character pointers like this:

char *lineptr2[] = { "aardvark", "scorpio", "papaya" };

So then what is the size of this array? And if it is size three, does it just allocate memory to each string based on how long each string is, i.e. enough memory for the character array "aardvark\0"?

what is a good free or paid anti-virus program.

Is there any reason to use DP over HDMI at 1080p/60Hz or even 1440p/60Hz ? I know some a little bit older HDMI can't do 4k@60Hz, but at those resolutions and refresh rates, it should be fine, right ?
Asking because 95% of cheap screens don't have DP ports and I wouldn't want to choose from 2 options when I could choose from 40

Another question is, can you use adapter for DP -> HDMI or HDMI -> DP without some kind of loss or degradation, it's digital so it should work, right ?

>>56112399

yes.

How are you learning?

>>56112449
You have to learn how to approach and solve problems first. Then learn how to properly structure and design your code, then learn the syntax of a particular language and how to use that language to solve your problem via appropriately designed and structured code.

Just because you can write a sentence doesn't mean you can write a novel. Just because you can write syntactically sound code doesn't mean you can actually produce useful code (let alone quality software).

thanks bro, seems it's not worth the trouble then. what chipset would you recommend for an i7 6700, a dedicated GPU, 16GB of DDR4 plus a SSD+HDD combo? i'm trying to decide between b150, h110 and h170 but i keep getting confused, especially about the PCI-X lanes stuff...

>>56112917
i don't see why you would need to. if anything you might need to rearm/reactivate your license due to the HW change, but it should boot and work just fine

>>56112864
cheapest H170 mobo from asus, gigabyte or msi.

pci-e lanes dont matter unless you run SLI TITAN X or some stupid shit. a single card cant bottleneck the pci-e slot.

but i would really recommend getting an unlocked CPU (k series) and z170 chipset mobo (even just the cheapest is not much more than H170). just for the free extra performance and resell value.

also, get a cryorig H7 cooler instead of 212, it's old and the competition has stuff that's just as good for around same price and is quieter.

Limiting the FPS will make it so your GPU will use less power since it won't be at full utilization, temperature differences depends on your system.

There might be slightly higher frame latency but when you're running at 144hz the difference is not going to be significant.

Not trying to be an ass, but booting is pretty much a "once a day"-thing for most people, so I would not worry about it. But if it bothers you, I'd see what steps are taking too long and take it from there. If it takes a long time from when you press the power-button until you hear the "BEEP" indicating the POST is done, you have 2 options:
You have told your motherboard to check for a lot of stuff (in BIOS) or there is something not quite right about a specific part, but it manages to get it working after a while and boot.

If it's the loading of the operating system that takes a while, it could be anything from a slow CPU to a corrupt system file. Idk, man.

The color indicates what usage it is meant for.

Green: Slowest, quietest, lowest power.
Use this for general mass storage.

Blue: Standard drive.
A good allround drive.

Black: Performance tuned, faster, potentially noisier and more power hungry.
Use this to install operating system, programs and games for faster access and loading. (This is the one kids (or /g/) would brag about having)

>>56114055
you could just google the answer and find out much faster than waiting for us to type the answer.

basically all the colors are better at certain things.

one for general storage, one for NAS storage, one for performance, one for general use, one for constant data saving (surveillance), etc.

>>56114055
Blue is fine for media. You could also get a Red if it's cheaper than Black, they are more reliable than Blues.

>>56114124
I just plan to use it to hold movies/tv shows. Generally delete shit after i watch it. Seems like blue is fine then.

>>56114103
almost everything is better than the stock, but i wish the 212 meme would end, there are other better alternatives out there now like the cryorig h7

asus, msi, gb (asrock only extreme4 models and higher)
asus probably best cheaper choice (msi and gb tend to be less reliable in the cheap end).

>960 outdated means good price
not really. you can get a 1060 for just a bit more and it will run circles around the 960, also it will last longer so you dont have to replace it as soon (thus saving money).

consider getting an unlocked i7 (k series) and z170 mobo for longer life and better resell value (again saving money in the long run).

1) Am I supposed to connect the DVI cable of my monitor to the DVI port of the mobo or to the DVI port of the video card?
2) If I connect it to the DVI port of the video card, will the mobo detect the video card as the main and only source for the screen? I don't want to run the risk to use the CPU integrated graphics by mistake...

If you plug it into the GPU it will work by default and cannot use the integrated graphics.

Hey friends, I'm looking at getting a gay ming monitor. Specifically the MG248Q.

I know conventional logic is that TN displays look worse and not as vibrant as IPS panels, but according to tftcentral's review of the MG248Q, it measures similarly to my current 60hz IPS; 1000:1 contrast ratio, 100% sRGB coverage, similar DeltaE figures, and color temperature. So even though the gay ming monitor is TN, shouldn't it look similar to my IPS in terms of image quality and color reproduction?

because you can fucking overclock you dumbass.

like the other anon said, it already is faster without overclocking for those £40 and then you can get even more performance for free if you OC.

you need to look at price per [insert currency]. compare performance of the two cards and you will see that 1060 is much better deal. the 960 would only be worth it if it's less than £150

What is the best option for a laptop that can play heroes of the storm without Windows?

There's a macbook pro with a AMD Radeon R9 M370X, but it costs freaking 2.600$

>>56114641
fucking integrated intel graphics can probably run that shit.

what gpu is in the cheaper macbooks?

also why pay premium for macbook?

I don't want to deal with voided warranties, measuring temps and who knows what else happens when you overclock the first time ever.
I could barely made it to root my Galaxy phone after soft bricking it a few times..

I have never bought a mac or a laptop before so i don't know much about it.

What do you mean premium? The price was from their official site (but price converted from pounds to dollars).

On my stationary i run linux and use wine to play, but it's really slow.

I'm using DisplayPort on Windows 10 Pro with latest updates. I have a Radeon R9 390 supplying 3 monitors (1 x DP and 2 x DVI), and mine is working flawlessly. I hope DVI will work for you bro. Just remember that there are a lot of different DVI connectors, be sure to make the most of your GPU by using the correct cable.

If so, the breasts are a no-no, they will be in the way and the rest of the mouse mat will be too little.

To put Windows 10 on my PC, will it work to download the ISO from MS and use a OEM key from Kinguin to activate it?

Im on Windows 7

In power settings i told windows to turn off my monitors after 20 minutes of not using the pc

but for some reason something is perventing my monitor to shut down even when my pc is idle for over 1h

how can i find out what is perventing my pc from idleing

i literally colse every program that is running but nothing helps

how do I tell which are ergonomical?
Optical or laser?

I'm learning on the side, might eventually try to switch to it as a career.

Currently I know python, javascript, and the pretend web shit decently, as well as the basics of Java. Is it worth diving more into one of these (leaning towards python) or jumping onto something like Go?

I always see you guys shitting on python and I often don't know if it's a meme or a legit concern, vs something like Go which is slowly growing but not a guaranteed standard in the future.

It seems to be related to SSDP, but i'm not sure what that is either, quite honestly. I understand the TCP/IP stack and i understand things like ARP, HTTP, etc. but i didn't learn what SSDP is at university, and the wikipedia entry is a bit confusing.

>Asking about AV programs

AV programs are pretty useless these days. Run a scan with MS security essentials every now and then, but what you really need to do is keep up to date on your OS/browser patches, remove flash/java/etc, don't install sketchy/cracked software, and don't click on links in emails

>>56115336
Do you play first person shooters?
If so, get the optical one as the laser is much more prone to faulty readings making your mouse skip around on the screen or your aim to jump out of place.

Is there any way to be absolutely sure a TRRS cable will be compatible with a device? Looking to get a cable with in-line mic for my Senn HD 598 for use with my OP3 and on PC. My Senn Urabnite XLs work fine on PC, and worked fine on my N5, but it's garbled shit on my OP3.

They are quick studies + a shortage of programmers. And honestly, the average programmer is pretty bad.

That's exactly what it means because it doesn't render frames as often. Lower usage means lower clock rate on modern cards which translates to lower power usage. Do you not know how dynamic clock rates work?

Not him (sorry to hijack), but what sorts of things do you recommend for learning? I'm currently a 19 year old NEET who has basically just sat around doing nothing since high school. I've gotten a couple chapters into C Primer Plus and Think Python 2nd Edition. I'm also like 10% or more into several Codecademy courses, which I haven't touched in 2-10 months depending on the course. I just have trouble sticking to this stuff for some reason. I also feel like I'm not retaining the knowledge very well. I've heard that learning by doing works the best, but I don't think I even have the basics down to do anything with my knowledge yet.

>>56115608

you need to change the boot order. if you kept your old windows install you may have to reinstall.

Windows 8.1 just deactivated itself. A few weeks before there was a message about how my windows version was going to expire but I didn't care about it. Now when I try to reactivate by going to PC settings it just doesn't work. I never received any product key when I bought windows 8.1 pro

>>56112049
Windows isn't giving as much info as needed to properly answer this. Instead of judging you for your poor decision, I guess I'll just say that you should boot off a liveUSB of Ubuntu or something and pull up the same view in gparted, then post again.

as someone who honestly doesn't know any better, would one be better to really dig into than the other? Like is python desirable on it's own or is it more in combination with other languages/libraries? I know enough to make neat stuff in pygame and shit like pong without too much effort, as well as simple online things like a twitter bot. But as a language that stands on it's own when it comes to opportunities is it any good? Would I be better off learning something like Go in the hopes it takes off?

>>56116187

Python gets used for automation a lot of the time. It's maybe not THE language to use if you want to make applications but you can get away with it using it that way if you want.
