So what should a vertex shader and projection matrix in matrix-based 3D rendering look like if made by someone competent?
i.e. only one matrix is used inside the vertex shader, and the projection matrix actually works if the matrices multiply correctly.
Everyone seems to use a different projection matrix and vertex shader to me, and I think the problem with my rendering is with the vertex shader, since it's somewhat unusual:
in vec3 vertexPosition;
uniform mat4 matrix;

void main() {
vec4 position = matrix * vec4(vertexPosition, 1.0);
gl_Position = vec4(position.xy/position.w, position.z, 1.0);
}


It renders mostly correctly, but it acts weirdly as objects go off the edge of the screen, and also sometimes layers things wrong.

I just upgraded from a GigaByte GeForce gtx 760, to a EVGA Geforce gtx 1070 and I unistalled and reinstalled all of the right drivers but the 1070 still performs very bad. I tried a bunch of troubleshoots to see if that would solve it but it didn't. Can anyone think of what's going wrong?

Bought a D-Link N600 wifi adaptor for my windows 10 desktop.
I used the install wizard and it gave me the option to connect to a network
I went to connect to a network and it dropped. My PC is behaving as though the device is not installed - i.e it doesn't give me the option to connect to a wireless network - it just tells me there is no ethernet cable connected.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, restarting, trying different USB ports - doesn't change anything
Any advice?

Whats the hype with DDR4?

When has standard RAM ever been a chokepoint? You can overclock DDR3 at 2400MH with the correct timings, and a quad-memory cell isn't going to set any kind of new benchmarks in gaming or performance.
>>
>>58281571
Also, whats the hype with Intels 6k series? a 6 core processor that runs at 3 GH sounds slow as fuck.
>>
>>58281047
>>58281047

In modern OpenGL where you handle all the transformations, you typically pass the C-T-M to the vertex shader as uniforms.

Then the final gl_Position = CTM * vec4(vertPos,1);

check out this simple example

https://github.com/mmowbray/vs-modern-opengl

hope that helps!

In dire need of help.

Recently I was playing with my waifu and she destroyed my frenulum. I bled profusely until it stopped abruptly.

Upon examining my now mutant penis I realised there was a bit of red skin (part of the frenulum that attaches to the underside of your cock) hanging from my foreskin. It still hurts a little when we have sex. This happened 2 nights ago.

Would a doctor be able to reattach it in 2 weeks time? What are the cons of this?

Will my 4690k bottleneck the Nvidia gtx 1000 series gpu?
>>
>>58281926
Looks like a GPU error.
GPU errors can be caused by almost anything (My desktop's GPU will crash bad enough to fail POST if I go onto a certain popular Gmod server), but it's best to check the obvious first.

First (or last if a laptop), try checking your GPU is properly connected. Random crashes are often related to poor connections.

Then if possible, monitor your GPU temperature, and see if it does anything unusual before crashing.

If it's not a temperature issue, it might be software, so try boot Windows (assuming Windows) in safe mode to minimise what software is running.

You'll get segfaults.

Consider if the head of the list is NULL, consider if there's only 1 node in the list.

Why bother with the "temp" variable?
>>
>>58282411
Thanks for the reply. GPU was my instinct. It most often crashes when playing games or opening images on 4chan. I've taken apart my computer a few times trying to solve it and I'm certain everything is connected properly.

While crashing, the screen freezes and goes black and then back to what was previously displayed and then black again and so on. Usually like 4 times before it goes to that jagged blue screen.

Is it possible I ham-fisted it when I first got it or accidently exposed it to static or something and that fucked it over?

>>58283269 isn't entirely correct - USB-C does offer the standard 5V0.5A power mode, 5V5A charging mode, and a new 20V5A power mode - but your phone can't make use of the 20V5A power mode, so it doesn't matter. The downside to fast charging (at 5V5A instead of 5V0.5A) is that it can decrease the life of a Li-poly battery.

Because per-frame calculations are preferrable to per-object, and per-object is preferrable to per-vertex.
Moving all the matrices to the vertex shader makes calculations per vertex, and it makes your vertex shaders a lot more complex.

Right now I have 4x4tb in mdadm raid10 which is backed up onto 3x3tb lvm spanned volume.

I'm wanting to gain some extra storage and was thinking of converting the raid10 into a raid5 and buy an additional 3tb drive to expand the lvm volume. Does this make sense?

I'm essentially not bothered about redundancy but if I pooled the 4x4tb drives i wouldn't have enough storage to back it all up.

Otherwise, for smaller files Virustotal is a nice tool. A decent free antivirus can also work as a safety net, I use Avast myself. Though keep in mind that just because something is flagged by AV doesn't 100% confirm it has a virus either. False positives are a common thing.

Biggest problem I've found with cintiqs is that there is an obvious gap between your pen and an application like Photoshop.

Yet everyone (read: cartoonists) who has NEEDED that kind of closeness to the drawing claims there is nothing wrong.

I started off learning on the blank tablets, so seeing that for the first time was infuriating.

That and their desktop manager app feels like nagware since the drivers don't need constant updates.

With public sites like that you're really taking a gamble, just up to you to balance security vs convenience.

You have large corporations (Google, large ISPs, some corporations) that has warehouses full of constantly-on computers running together as one, and they provide a large amount of space.
These large corporations are constantly communicating together via a massive wire below the ocean, allowing you to access internet as a whole, worldwide entity instead of having an america internet, an european internet and an asian internet detatched.
Then there are the smaller sources, like BBSes and small webpages which are hosted not by a corporation but by a person. The corporation is still needed to access the page, because they provide you the bandwidth, but it only serves as a gateway to the person's server.

I probably fucked up somewhere but you get the idea.

I'm having trouble compiling the latest wvdial + wvstreams on ubuntu 16. The package on apt-get was compiled with a newer version of gcc which broke wvstreams with some optimizations and as a result wvdial was shitting out assert failures during runtime. I've since downloaded the source for both packages and managed to compile wvstream with a couple of patches but wvdial isn't getting past linking wvdial.o Wvstream headers are in /usr/local/include/wvstreams which is passed as the -I option for g++ and the .so files are in /usr/local/lib so it seems like everything is in the right place.

The problem: undefined reference to wvconfemu properties. Anyone know what could be wrong? Is the linker not finding the libs? What are my options, would it be easier with an older compiler?

Hi there, tripfag!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post.
Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

Now kindly fuck off.

I need to divide a 193.136.37.0/24 class C network in 4 different subnets, and calculate the address and masks for each subnet.
Subnet A has 10 machines, B has 19, C has 71 and D has 3 machines.

If I understood this well, I've to divide the last 8 bits of the IP address (which identifies the host) so it can also identify the subnet.
2 bits to identify the subnet (there are 4 subnets, 2^2 = 4). 7 bits to identify the hosts, 2^7 = 128 (2^6 is 64 and subnet C need at least 71 addresses so 6 bits won' suffice).
But 2 + 7 = 9, and it must be 8 bits to fit in the subnet mask...

Can someone help me with this one?

I've got a 7 key running on 5 different machines still. All you had to do was call the activation hotline and tell them you had it on just one PC and you're golden. It'll let you do the activation every time.

Now, with Windows 10, you can actually deactivate your old license and activate it on a new PC if you have it tied to your microsoft account. I've done it several times myself. You can still activate any copy of windows 10 with a corresponding Windows 7 or 8 product key.

>>58287421
If you bought a prebuilt PC, your windows license is tied to your motherboard.

If you have a Windows 7/8 key or a new Windows 10 key you have the option of connecting it to your MS account. If you chose to do so, you can deactivate any old install on any old hardware and activate the new install on new hardware.

God, no. Don't apply at best buy. If you are serious about learning PC repair, apply at the locally own places. That's how I got started. I found an technician's assistant, learned the trade and eventually made my way up to head tech at a different place. Now I do IT for local businesses.

i've made some adjutments to make it compile in the first place, may have something to do with it:
delete python3 symlink and replace with python sylmink
sudo ln -s /lib/libncurses.so.6.0 /lib/libncurses.so.5
sudo ln -s /lib/libncurses.so.6.0 /lib/libtinfo.so.5
(as these aren't available in the repositories, nor are the compat-libs)

OEM keys are what literally everyone in the world buys. Just make sure you tie it to your MS account so you can take it to new hardware.

My dad broke his laptop's hinge so the monitor just hangs on to the rest of the thing with two flimsy wires. Needless to say the monitor won't work anymore so I connected it to another monitor via hdmi and it worked, it's running on windows 8 btw. Now the problem is that I got memed into updating it and when it finished updating the extended monitor kept flashing until it eventually stopped displaying altogether. Is there a way I can salvage this shit or is it as good as paper weight.

Alright. I've started experimenting with external 3rd party libraries to begin try to make larger projects.

I've recently stumbled upon Magic++, and on the tutorial that tells you how you can draw shapes (this link: http://www.imagemagick.org/Magick++/Drawable.html)
, when I copy+paste it into my IDE, nothing happens.

Should I just stick to OpenGL? Does C++ have a built-in library for creating a graphics window?
>>
>>58287751
You've got 2 options.

1. Just cut the wires connecting the laptop to the screen. 2 of the wires will be your wifi antennas so you will also just have to live with shitty wifi signal.

2. Pry up or unscrew the bezel around the screen. remove the screen itself and disconnect the cable. Remove the wifi antennas and let them just hang lose.

Totally disconnecting the internal screen should signal the system to use HDMI as the primary output if it's connected. Also make sure you reseat all your connectors and reboot the PC.

If you want something more fundamental and two dimensional, you can try SDL, which OpenGL is partly build on.

Guise, noob question about interfaces.

if i have an interface (IAnimal), and a class that implements it (Cat). does every function in the Cat class need to also be in the IAnimal class, or can i have extra helper functions specific only to the Cat class?

In other words, is this correct / normal (specifically the helper methods... or do they also need to be in IAnimal as well?

class IAnimal
{
public:
virtual ~IAnimal() {}

virtual std::string getName() = 0;

virtual void speak() = 0;
};

class Cat : public IAnimal
{
public:
Cat(std::string name) {
Name = name;
}
~Cat() { }

// Implement IAnimal
std::string getName() {
return Name;
}

void speak() {
// Meow
}

// Helper methods -- are these legal? cat specific stuff only
void doCatThings() {

}

void doMoreCatThings() {

}

private:
std::string Name;
};

>>58288629
domains don't host things, they point to things.
so if you want a domain name, you still have to pay for it.

if you host it yourself then you don't have to pay someone to host it.
>>
>>58288578
I've used FreeBSD since around 2000, it's become a habit. Jails, dtrace, bhyve and zfs are all part of my day-to-day, and that combination of software isn't something I can find anywhere else. Illlumos has dtrace and zfs, but no bhyve or jails (though it does have Zones like Solaris, but I'm not fond of that implimentation), Linux has zfs (although it's not current with openzfs) but no dtrace or bhyve, and Windows is only on my harddisk because sometimes I play GTA5 with some friends.

>>58288629
Assuming your ISP allows you to host stuff, and you aren't behind a CGN, yes. You'll run the risk of having it infected with exploits, and for it to become part of a botnet (not memeing). You're also going to want to actually buy a domain name, unless you use something like http://dot.tk

Unlike other people, I'm also not zealous and don't think everyone needs to run whatever is the very best at <time and date of post> - I can live without that extra 5% that Linux sometimes has in some artificial benchmarks. I prefer stability, preformance and security - and FreeBSD is what comes closest to giving me all three.

I want to update a backup of a folder on my external hard drive. The existing folder has around 50,000 files in it. The update version has around 5,000 new ones. Since it's my music folder and everything is separated by artist I can't remember which artists have new albums/tracks in them.

I tried to copy and paste the whole folder, but it doesn't notify you of duplicates until after it tries to copy everything (over an hour). Is there a way of copying and pasting without duplicates that won't take an hour to do?

My PC is my primary videogames system, but my processor is pretty outdated. I'm trying to figure out what would be a good replacement and I'm not as tech literate as I'd like to be.

What I have now is an AMD FX-4100, a quad-core budget cpu with a clock speed of 3.6 Ghz. This was acceptable at the time that I got my PC, but modern games generally need at least FX-6300 or equivalent, and I'd also really like to be able to emulate PS2 games at a reasonable stable framerate. Are the number of cores and clock speed the only differences in power? For example, I see that the Intel Core i5-6600K is also a quad-core cpu with a clock speed of 3.5 Ghz. Would there be any practical difference between this processor and my current one apart from having to use a different motherboard? If not, what good processors are out there to suit my purposes?

Which 1070 should I get? I have heard EVGA is generally good but is there a big difference between the brands?
>>
>>58289709
There is a massive difference between processor brands. Thread count and clock speed are only useful when comparing the same brand, and to a lesser extent the same generation. That processor will be a huge upgrade for you
>>
>>58289546
>>58289752
Thanks
>>
>>58289766
There can be a difference in the way the cards are binned, and the cooler design. This can translate into improved clock speeds and minor improvements in reliability. I wouldn't go for a super cheap brand, but MSI and EVGA are both fairly premium. Check out the reviews of whatever card you're getting and see if there have been any problems. Otherwise there's usually not a huge difference

I'm pretty sure EVGA cards were going full AMD and burning. Did they fix that already?

Is it possible to split 1 chassis fan header between a rear fan and a front fan? I'm looking at H110 and most of them have only 1 header for case fans. I've never built a PC before so i'm not sure if the splitters could cover that distance and/or cause obstructions.

Also, how many 140mm fans could you split with only 1 header? I see 3 way splitters with 4 pin connectors but I am worried that may be pushing the mobo. Does LED significant change the draw to limit splitting?

Thanks in advance.
