New sqt, previous one is kill.

Post your small/stupid questions here, rather than creating a whole thread for it Don't bump the thread, wait for an answer rather. Take at least 10 seconds googling your question.

For GPU/Linux/headphone/bsd/programming/webdev check the catalog for their generals too.

The metal part was probably torn out at some time. I wouldn't use what connector.

molex to sata connector is one of the low quality ones. It works, but you should get a quality one.

I have a P4 shitbox which started to restart randomly. Temps are OK, voltages are the following:

Vcore: 1.370
3.3v: 2.96-3.3 mostly stays under 3v
5v: 5.175
12v: 12.2-12.3V

Is it kill? If yes, can I get away with a $15-20 PSU since it's a legacy system?

From other thread:
Fans connect to Molex cable which can take connection from back and plug into stuff from front.
PSU has peripheral/molex plug which looks basically identical but doesn't plug into back of fan molex.
Wrong plug or shoddy build quality?

'https:' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.


If it's something like the latter, have you installed a jdk?
On ubuntu and similars it's
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk -y


If you're on windows, go to oracle.com and find the jdk there.

That's the most obvious thing that can have gone wrong.

I have a degree already, in applied mathematics (useless by itself), so I'm looking at how to build on top of that.
>>
>>58763736
No. It's not an abstract class. They serve two different purposes conceptually.

An interface is a contract. Everything that implements an interface must have these methods. We put no other restraints on your implementing class other than that these methods are there.

Think about Collection<T> for example.

An abstract class is basically saying that there is some framework for a proper object, but that you have to fill in the blanks. It puts your extending class in the inheritance hierarchy. It's a class that lacks some things to be complete.

They're therefore not the same, and the people who like one will generally not like the other. I'm more of an interface guy, but I use abstract classes from time to time when they make sense.
>>
>>58763736
one is a "contract" the other is a "basis" for classes

>>58763765
Dude, I'm sorry, I meant:
C:\Users\hal>javac -version
'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.


Because javac is the compiler, and if you can call the compiler your development kit is installed properly.

java -version is just the runtime. It's for starting java programs, not making them.
>>
>>58763798
It tells me :
javac 1.8.0_121


But only if I'm in the folder containing javac.

You haven't set up your path correctly.

Just google "set path for" + your OS and you'll be fine. You'll want to include the jdk bin folder (the one that has javac in it).

Telegram isn't working on my computer & my smartphone. It doesn't send messages and stay in Updating...

Is it the same for you guys ?
>>
>>58763785
>>58763787
So an abstract class essentially states "we have these methods, use them if you want"
And an interface states "we have these methods and since you're using me you MUST implement them"?

I just recently got fiber internet; upgrading from 1mbps DSL.

it's a 50/50mbps plan, which is usually what I get. I have one wired PC, on which I usually get 45-65mbps upload and download, and my higher end wireless devices, like my phone and PS4.

My main PC, however, which is the left screenshot in my pic, is usually much slower, ranging from 12-30mbps download, but uploads usually around 30mbps. This is on wifi, and a wired connection is not feasable for me at the moment. The speed is so much lower than my phone, which is the right screenshot . These tests were done right after each other in the same location, about 10 inches apart. This is probably about 20-25 feet from the router, with a couple walls in between, but the speed is great on my phone.

What can I do to improve the speed on my PC? I am using an Asus wireless USB adapter (ASUS USB-N13). According to its product page it's supposed to be capable of 300mbps. My suspicion is that my wireless adapter just isn't performing as it should, and I'm thinking maybe I should buy a new wireless adapter. Does this seem like a reasonable theory, or is there anything else I should check first?

Also if anybody has any recommendations for adapters they would be much appreciated.

Looking for a recommendation.

I have a server with:
3x storage HDD's (8tb)
1x SSD for the OS

Proxmox VE is installed, and I'm running OpenMediaVault as a VM.

Now there's a list of software I'd like to have installed which all needs access to the HDD's

- Plex
- Deluge web client
- Sickbeard
- Zoneminder
- etc...

You get the point. So my question is, where do I install this software? On a separate VM, or do I install it on the OpenMediaVault VM?

Will several VM's having physical access to the hard drives at the same time cause problems?

* If it is soldered, you'll have to go for the higher end one because 256GiB is not going to be enough for your sole drive.
* If it's a regular SATA or m.2 drive and you don't want 4G, I think it would be okay to go with the cheaper one and upgrade later
* Are you happy with a 13" display? Will you be using an external monitor too?

What type is your array?
>>
>>58765922
I think I slowly start understanding you, are you looking for a loop or are you dealing with objects having children which have again n children etc?

if you have a simple one dimensional array then just for/foreach loop through them, you don't need a recursive function for that.

But our teacher is asking us to do it in a recursive function. Using a loop to do it would be extremely easy.

>>58766054
It's an integer.

Basically here is the easy and most obvious way to do it recursively:

void IterateRecursively(int[] array, int index){
if(index == array.length-1){
System.out.println(array[index]);
}else{
System.out.println(array[index]);
IterateRecursively(array, index+1);
}
}


But there has to be NO "int index" parameter on my function.

Here's a stupid question related to computer graphics and real life.
Why do shadows from the sun have a penumbra? If the sun is a directional light source then surely shadows should be perfectly sharp. Is it literally just that the sun is actually a sphere? I thought that it would be negligible at the distance we are from it.
>>
>>58766740
based on the radius of the sun and it's distance from earth, you can calculate that the angle of the cone from a point on the surface to the sun is 1.67 degrees. That would mean you could expect to see a 4 cm penumbra at 10 metres from the occluder or a half metre penumbra at 100 metres from the occluder. So yes, it is literally just that the sun is a giant sphere light rather than a directional light.
>>
>>58766678
Nothing really, I hear /g/ talk so much shit about it im wary about upgrading but if you say it's running fine then ok, gonna update now.
>>
>>58765826
Why don't you just remove the element from the array before you pass it to the next iteration? Something like

void func(array) {
if(array.length > 0) {
print(array[0]);
func(Arrays.copyOfRange(array, 1, array.length));
}
}

The Gandalf's disks you linked have been around for some time and are about up there with Hiren's boot CD in terms of trustworthiness, so feel free to use them for repairs. WinPE is great for that, and it really should be suggested more often on this thread considering how capable it is at repairing windows and how many people come here with a busted computer and no knowledge of linux. However if you're looking to use it as an ongoing general purpose OS it's a very poor fit and won't allow you to install new software easily. What you would really want is a win-to-go setup, which is actually pretty easy to make these days

So in Java event handling, are there three core components to it?
The event source
Event generated from the source
Even listener

What does each one do then?
So when a source (component) is triggered, what does it do? Instantiate an event?

Oh and I tried to just wipe it, both reset options (complete and keep files options) fail with non descript errors, and it won't let me install on top of it nor will it let me just install on top of the windows partition because it bitches about it being gpt formatted (which points to it having been a windows 8 machine that was upgraded to 10 I think?).

What I mean to say is PDF pages should be navigable. Panning and zooming on any given page should be smooth-ish with touch gestures as with any $99 Android phone. Some lag is acceptable given processor constrains.

Obviously it will look like shit but on the most recent Kindles with button-based interfaces PDFs were unusable. The 4 direction "joystick" button thing was used for panning the granularity of motion could not be controlled so zooming didn't really work.

Isn't secure boot controlled from the UEFI or BIOS? You should be able to get in there and switch it off.

If you can't, try getting some live boot-capable Linux distro with Gparted on it and put it on a bootable flash drive using LiLi or Unetbootin. After booting, you can use Gparted to diagnose your faulty hard drive and possibly recover it there isn't any physical damage to it. But I guess secure boot might not allow it.

So I upgraded my CPU from a FX-6300 to a FX-8320 and my performance has actually been reduced. What will happen is the CPU will heat up above 60 degrees C and throttle itself from 3.4 GHz to 1.4 GHz until it reaches a lower temperature.

My cooler is just a run of the mill 90mm fan. I don't understand how anyone can use this CPU if a normal cooler isn't adequate to manage heat build up. I even deactivated 2 cores to see if that would prevent heat build up, but it had no effect. Is there any way to manage the heat within BIOS? Otherwise I'll just use my old CPU.

Understand I got this CPU for free, so I don't particularity care to upgrade the cooler to something like a water cooler for just 20% more performance.

Can anyone help me with signed division in MASM with remainders? My end goal is to round to the nearest int, so I'm trying to get signed division down correctly with storing the quotient and remainder.

I'm trying to divide -13 by 2, this is what my code looks like:

xor edx, edx

mov eax, -13 ;eax = top
mov ebx, 2 ;ebx= bottom

IDIV ebx

mov quotient, eax
mov remainder, edx

mov eax, quotient

call WriteDec
call CrLf

doing this outputs:
The rounded average is 4294967290

i like the buttons but the rubbery grip is kind of crappy

as you can see the rubber has actually worn down at the point where I hold it with the thumb to the point where I'm now touching the hard plastic underneath it.

Also the texture on the rubbery bit (especially on the opposite side from this pic) makes it a pain in the ass to clean. There are little nooks and crannies that gunk sticks in where you can't just wipe it off.

>>
>>58771363

Yes but when you enter a while loop the condition gets evaluated and if it doesn't hold the loop exits. Since you didn't declare the value of choice is just contained the value it had last been set to by some other function. You can see this by declaring an printing a variable without setting it to anything. Something like

char some_variable;
cout<<some_variable<<endl;

some_variable = 'y'
cout<<some_variable<<endl;


And see how they differ
