Any tips for someone starting CS next month? I've been using Linux for two years and I already know the basics of Python/C (I only know how to code simple scripts).

Should getters and setters be used even when in the same class as the variable you want to use?

Or should they only be needed when calling a class's variable from outside the class, and when in that class you should call the variables normally?

>>59080304
They both use some non libre stuff, but chromium has a history of crossing some uncomfortable lines with how much it communicates with google. Also its windows version has no automatic updates. Chrome is the defacto browser if you absolutely want to make sure none of your webpages are fucking up because of browser compatibility, but you lose that assurance when you run chromium, so you might as well go FF.

I have about $500 to spare on a workstation. Ebay wants me to get a z800 with 2 X5650's and 48G RAM. Am I about to get raped or should I pull the trigger?

Im looking for a program that can replace notepad, which have a treeview or something similar that i have all my notes saved.
Similar to evernote but without all the useless features, more minimal and offline only.
Somewhere i can save passwords etc.

Anyone got suggestions?

>>59080359

Go look up the basic data structures (array, linked list, queue, tree, stack), some object oriented programming concepts (classes, objects, inheritance). Look up pointers and try and actually understand what they are (they aren't particularly difficult to grasp on a general level, but you probably won't understand why they're useful for quite a while.)

Maybe look up some general algorithms as well, probably some sorting ones like bubble sort, selection sort, binary sort. No need to memorise them or anything like that, just see if you can understand what's going on.

Don't worry too much, you'll learn all this shit on your course, but having a general understanding should help you to not feel overwhelmed.

>>59080418
>Should getters and setters be used even when in the same class as the variable you want to use?
sure, why not. besides, that's the whole point of encapsulation. you hide data fields, normally declared private anyways, behind public methods.

Is a gtx 1080 too overkill for 1080p? I've never been to bothered all that much by visuals but choppy low frame rates bother the shit out of me. Would a 1080 be able to maintain 120+FPS on most games on a 1440p display or perhaps a gtx 1070 would suffice for 1080p?

I'll probably be a poor student in the next few years so 1080/1080 seems liked like a good idea.

Thoughts?

>>59080485
Why two power hungry CPUs from seven years ago? Wouldn't it be better to get something current?

>>59080779

Are Amazon Basics batteries alright? Has anyone ever used them? Not too picky, just need them for remotes and a couple game controllers, I just don't want them to be complete garbage that leak.

I work at a desk job, and I'd like to install an application on the computer but it is protected by an admin account. Anyway to bypass the exe installation without having to run it like a zipped file?

I need a cheap laptop that can handle a fair amount of open stuff (like a fair few pages of cocde and a web browser). Quality is a big thing for me, but not autistically. Are pentium / celeron laptops (new ones) good?

>>59081028
Get some LSD NiMHs for game controllers.

>>59081057

>>59081057
If you need software to perform your job, contact the administrator.

>>59081070
I was about to do that, but then I saw that a 4 pack of them is about as much as a 48 pack of regular batteries. Which of course, they're rechargeable, but then I questioned if I'd ever even use 48 batteries in the controllers anyway. The Wii Remote is just because I'm replaying Zeldas right now and the PC controller only gets used here and there for action/adventure games and such. Still gonna consider it though, I like having rechargeable controllers.

>>59081057

I have my PC set up to a 5.1 A/V receiver. Recently I've noticed that at high volumes, there's some very quiet noise underneath whatever sounds I'm playing. I'm using a Creative brand PCI express sound card.

It's much worse when my GPU is active such as while playing WoW. However, I figured it was because I was using analog outputs and figured that this was electrical noise, but when I use an encoder like DTS Live, the signal that reaches my receiver includes this noise.

Is there any hope for getting rid of the noise, or should I just learn to live with it? I can use stereo over optical, but occasionally I would like to listen to 5.1 sources.

the lower end models are absolute trash. like theyve always had shit build but comparing it to my 2002 and 2007 hps, its even worse (trending down). their top of the line ones are alright but not worth the price or money. I think theyre targeting 50 year old rich women with them.

>>59082624
Your CPU does that because it's Firefox running present day web shit stacks. Using a CPU does not damage it. They're specifically designed to not self destruct when used. A GPU card is needed only if you want more monitors.

So there's no way of doing it without inheritance?
Basically I want to call a method to start combat in the Combat class, but I need information about the character(s) which are obviously in the Character class.
I thought the point of getters and setters and public methods in general was that those were the interfaces for other classes?

>>59082713
Network Attached Storage.

Usually in home configurations, a low-end PC running all your spare hard drives and sharing files over a network.

>>59082718
In order to call any non-static non-global function, you need a reference to the object you want to call the function of.

If you want your your combat class to have access to your characters, pass them to whatever function you'd like.

void doCombat(Character c1, Character c2) {
    c2.setHealth(c2.getHealth() - c1.getDamage());
}

Sup /g/.

I have some motherboard that I fucking broke by flashing a modded BIOS like a retard. Thing is, the bios chip ain't soldered to it, can be easily extracted and put back in.

>>59082812
It's fucked. BIOS flashing can damage a lot of things.

>>59082684
about 5 per Gb, so 200.

Maybe closer to 20 if they're all SSD. But really, you're going to bump the limit of your PCIe bus before you saturate a 40gb switch.

>>59082770
So for functional concepts like combat, would it be better to make the whole class static?

>>59082844
No. What would make sense is having a CombatResolver that has functions capable of resolving fights. You make one of these combat resolvers in your surrounding game class (or whatever you have controlling the program). Heck, if you really, really want to be able to globally refer to it, you can always make an instance of that class global.

>>59082882
So would this CombatResolver be essentially another class in the same file as the main class?
And what would be the limitation/downside to making a class that handles combat static in all regards?

Still getting my head around how to properly structure projects like this.

>>59082919
eh, maybe right around that, if the speeds I saw were megabytes and not megabits. You'd still need 40 HDD to saturate the switch.

It would not be in the same file. Typically you want ONE class per file. If you want to use a class in a different file, just include the file.

Question is, would a 64 bit version of Windows for it be a bad choice? I mean, they wouldn't put a 32 bit version of it for no reason at all with its processor, right? Maybe 2GB of RAM aren't good enough for the 64 bit version of windows?

It's something I've wanted for a very long time

it isn't really necessary but just a neat feature i guess

Imagine:

Instead of:

and for a larger example

void something(int x, y, z, uint8_t r, g, b, a);

instead of

void something(int x, int y, int z, uint8_t r, uint8_t g, uint8_t b, uint8_t a);

Hey /sqt/ have a SQL question regarding foreign keys.

Suppose we have a composite foreign key spread over 2 columns mapped to a table with a 2 column PK. Now say there's a row in the child table where one column of the FK maps correctly, but the second column is NULL. Assuming there are no NULL entries in the parent table primary key, will this cause a constraint violation?

Okay so if my GPU has a broken port (or two) would it be stupid to buy another cheap as fuck one just to dual screen? The only reason I need another screen would is for a console that I can monitor while learning new programming languages.

how do you use old but perfectly working monitors that exclusively use VGA now that most GPUs don't use VGA anymore?

ASUS 970 Pro Gaming/Aura refuses to boot. CPU, GPU, and such are inserted properly and there's a steady red light. Apparently that's normal but what's going on? Don't think anything shorted out.

Dual Link refers to the number of pins for the digital DVI-D connection. It doesn't have anything to say about whether it's a DVI-I port, which includes the analog functionality. But nearly every GPU has a DVI-I port on it.

False alarm. Brother kept plugging one of the power cables in the wrong spot. Works like a charm.

(Reposting from /hpg/) If I have a media device output audio to my TV through HDMI, then configure my TV to output all audio out through a optical Toslink port, will this signal the TV received over HDMI be processed by the TV's DAC before being converted back into digital to be sent along the Toslink cable? Or will it be passed along completely unaltered?

My computer is using up to 3GB of RAM while I'm not fucking doing anything. I tried disabling shit that I don't have a use for. Is there some rookie mistake sort of process that makes other processes use more memory or something? Specifically the services in the svchost.exe I included, I guess.

>>59085831
Modern OSes allocate unused RAM to things it think might need it in the future to make things more responsive. It should be reclaimed as soon as you actually need it for something. So having a high idle usage isn't necessarily a big deal as long as you aren't coming up short when you actually need it for something.

Are there some really old computers that can't handle 1TB hard drives?

My hard drive isn't even registered as existing when I start my shit computer (not sure how old it is but it's pretty old). Is it possible that it's because my computer sucks and not because my hard drive is dead? Pls I need hope

In the Windows file picker, I used to be able to right click on a thumbnail and select "Preview" to open it in the image viewer and make sure the image actually is what I think it is.

Am I going crazy or did they remove this feature?

>>59085983
Nah, the context menu depends on what your default image viewer is. Just use 'Open' to preview it

>>59085854
I just loaded up a game and tabbed out, and that specific svchost and the antimalware service are using more memory now. But that only brought it up to 4.3GB total, so I guess that's fine then, thanks. Was just concerned because it hadn't been that high in the past.

>>59085974
How old are we talking here?
In the Windows XP days, 2TB was usually the maximum.
It's possible that your motherboard doesn't support drives that large, but can be flashed to do so.

>>59085974
If it has an IDE port then I think it should be able to handle any hard drive connected to that port (even if you have to use a SATA to IDE adapter) regardless of size. Some older operating systems do limit the maximum usable space to less than that though.

If it's got something older than IDE (honestly not sure what they used before this) then good chance it's not compatible, but I wouldn't really know.

>>59086012

You're right. Turns out the "Preview" option is a feature of Irfanview and I just hadn't bothered setting it as default yet.

why does Windows Update call every single patch "Update to Windows 7 for x64 systems"

Sort of a dumb question, but was there a GPU back in 2012 as powerful as the GTX 1050 Ti? I'm only asking to see how behind the times my rig is.

L-lads?
NOTHING on the W7 disk has changed. I can see the system reserved alongside the rest of it just fine.

What the hell did I do and how do I fix it

>>59086310

Did you try booting directly from the drive that you know Windows 7 is on? I've had problems with GRUB and the Windows boot fucking with eachother. Try that, and try unplugging the drive that Arch is on. After that you can start panicking.

So having two primary keys in a database is not possible right?

But yes.
That's the point.

If by technology you mean computer science:
1) Git
2) Webdev (JavaScript primarily, but also HTML and CSS)
3) Some serverside language (Java/C++/PHP)
4) Basic networking (TCP/UDP)
5) Frameworks for webdev and your serverside language

>>59080581
Vim

>>59086837

>2) Webdev (JavaScript primarily, but also HTML and CSS)
Do I have to know this? JavaScript is fucking painful and I don't have any other options.

>>59086851
JavaScript is used by a LOT of companies, mainly because it can be used both in the backend (node) and in the frontend.

Just give it a try, it's fairly straightforward. You can skip it I guess, but you'll be seen as "lacking" by most companies.

>>59086890

How much is important?

>>59086908
Companies nowadays write nearly all their corporate front-ends in HTML, because it doubles as a mobile app "for free", and they don't have to install it on every smartphone / desktop they want to work on. So yeah, I'd say pretty darn important.

>>59086948

I'm talking abou JavaScript mainly. How proficient do I need to be?
As for backend stuff, I know PHP but I'd really rather be using something else. Something else that isn't JS.

>>59086959
Just the basics, up to and including promises (for async stuff). Maybe JQuery, too.

>>59086996

I guess that's not too bad.

>>59087053
Yeah ECC, my bad.

Guides for specs for video editing usually come down to "buy an iMac" or "interested in video editing? check out our gaming rig specs". Since I find iMacs to be too expensive for what they are and am not sure about those gaming rigs I'd like to ask you guys if you know what would be good specs for video editing or if you knew about any good guides. Should the specs be similar to those of a gaming rig?

Pointers are slow because the code can't be vectorized, right?

Is the performance penalty going from one dereference to two significantly less than going from zero to one?

Once we accept stuff is behind at least a pointer does it really matter how many pointers it's behind (within reason).

>>59087516
Pointer dereference is nigh-instantaneous. It's literally a single processor operation. So no, it typically doesn't matter.

The reason using them is slower than not using them is because pointer-memory is allocated on the heap, while non-pointers are automatically stack-allocated.

>>59087585
Well how long a pointer dereference takes depends on whether that data is in the cache or not right?

That's why arrays can be so quick. Because they garruntee cache locality no?

Do I need to reinstall OS when replacing a CPU?

>>59090291
No, only for system board.

What happened to logicalincrements.com/laptop? It refuses to load for me, is there another site I can use to compare laptops?

My friend said to disable the network adaptor that the phone set up, so I did that and it's still not connecting

How the fuck do most email providers manage to screw up SMTP Banner Check?

You literally just put the reverse DNS of your mail server's ip into the hostname of main.cf if I recall correctly.

Can i get electrocuted by touching live LED strip?

Should I download Wine?

I spilled water on my phone the other day and tried out the rice bag shit and while the phone is mostly responsive now there are a few zones that have double inputs on my touchscreen.

Anything I should try at this point or should I just consider getting a new phone.

Say torrents are illegal in X country, but I live in Y country. I don't want my IP exposed so I use a VPN to connect to a server located in X country.

Are VPN providers who, I guess, "take the bullet" for you? Do they constantly deal with lawsuits and shit for having their servers used for torrenting and other nasty stuff?

Nah, download whiskey

you are supposed to fully dry it out BEFORE turning it on anon
the water causes short-circuits, which will damage the phone if/when electricity flows through them

which is why when the phone gets wet you immediately TAKE OUT THE BATTERY and don't put it back until the inside of the phone is completely dry

if you turned it on while it wasn't fully dry the damage is already done

I have this bizarre effect in Ubuntu where moving the mouse below a certain Y coordinate on the monitor makes it vanish until I move it back up.

It only happens when there's a dialogue box on the screen. I can't find this mentioned anywhere else so I was wondering if you nerds knew anything

>>59090892
i second this

Thanks m8, I'll look into it.
At least I learned my lesson; I thought the computers at work were safe since we have an IT guy but evidently fucking not.

I have 4 hard drives all sitting very close together.
They idle at about 50c. Is that acceptable?

Finally going to make the purchase for a 250 gb ssd. Does brand matter much?

Also, I just want Windows 10 on it. I currently have an Ubuntu partition on my pc so if I back up and transfer to the ssd, I'll be without a boot manager. I also don't have a disc drive. Is this some complex situation or is there a bootable ISO for windows and will it delete everything

>>59091416
Just install windows from a flash drive then copy over whatever files you need to

hello /sqt/

I want to build a HTPC with the new Ryzen APU's that should come later this year.
I want to do some game emulation with it. Will an APU be enough to run pas generations console emulators at decent quality?

I've heard that AMD is bad for emulation, is this true or is it just a meme?

They're often granted a little more leniency than a home user in their country might be. But they'll also often restrict P2P usage in certain countries out of necesity

Should be about perfect actually.

This doesn't seem normal at all.

Originally I thought this was a router issue but I checked some other downstairs computers and they looked way more stable than this. Maybe I'm an idiot or something, but I've only started having this issue since last week and now I lose internet connection very briefly for 4-5 seconds before it comes back. Streams tend to cut out a bunch too. There's a stable 8-10 Kbps here.

What gives?

>>59091492
isn't rice just a poor man's dessicant? it'll contribute at least a little to drying shit out faster

I have dual (sometimes even triple) monitors.

how do I rapidly move my cursor between screens. I am just using the mouse right now but its a pain in the ass. Maybe like a keyboard shortcut or something
