I'll try to make this brief:

I have a Hori Game Controller I want to use to play games on my PC. Some games don't recognize it, some games recognize some of the buttons, and some recognize it totally.

Okay, so my solution is just, fuck native controller support I'll just use JoyToKey for everything. Except for some of the games that can partially detect buttons and causes conflict with Joytokey

Is there a way to have my controller not be recognized by games, or to completely emulate it as a Xinput so I can have a uniform setup for all games

This probably made little sense, sorry

if i write this "while (i < sqrt(n))" in c++ (n never changes)
will it solve "sqrt(n)" every loop?

are ps/2 port keyboards any different form ones that connect through usb?

Give it a try, it could work.
Let me know if it works or not.

>>59776211
Not at all, same thing.

>>59776263
I tried this as well as xpadder.

The problem is the game that Im trying to play natively recognizes one of my controllers buttons as the "back" button, and cannot be changed. So when I press the button 4 and it does a double input with what my emulator program (x360ce/joytokey/xpadder) says, and what the game natively reads it as

I wish there was a simple way to just tell the game "dont pay attention to the controller at all", let joytokey handle all that shit.

Sucks man, have you considered buying a new controller? An Xbox One controller is pretty cheap.

Is there a free as in freedom analytics tool I can use on my website to get information about where in the world people are visiting and shit?

I do have an x360 controller, though the dpad leaves much to be desired. The one I have (Hori Turbo 3) is damn near perfectly ergonomic

I'd rather the controller just not be recognized that way I can emulate it fully, or it be fully recognized so I can just use it normally

since it's stuck in between it just leaves me fucked

I'll check out that site though in case I missed anything on x360ce that can help, thanks

>>59776208
This would be an infinite loop. The value of n won't change after each iteration

>>59776358
No problem man, and those are valid reasons to not want to use the 360 controller.

The Xbox One controller has a much better d-pad then the 360 one.

Aspiring web developer working on a project for my portfolio. I'm making a library that gets all the data on a youtube video given a url (including the information needed to download them) that I'm going to stick on github, then make a basic web app that utilizes the library to provides a download of the video/audio. In order to figure out how to do this (which urls give what data and how to parse them for the data) I dissected a library of somebody who already did it on github. Now that I'm writing my own library I feel as though it is too similar to the library I gathered info from; I don't want to just copy and rehash their code but that's what it's feeling like at this point. Problem is that there isn't really any other way of doing it. What should I do?

Greetings /g/,

Math student here looking for some guidance. I've read this countless times, that compilers assemble better code than humans, but I would like to see an example for a simple script. Where or how can I compare a hand assembled code for something simple like a script that sums integers from 1 to n with an automatically assembled version of it? The programming textbooks I have all seem to focus on extremely high-level concepts which is annoying since I want to start at the lowest levels and work my way up to the high-levels not the other way around. As for background, I've read Goldstine's the History of the Computer (twice), watched some walkthrough's on reading disassembled code comparing it to the hex and binary, and I have actually written some calculator scripts in python. I've even drawn a half adder diagram all by myself. Amazing, I know.

Also, I am aware that asking for help instead of figuring it out myself goes against the "programmer's ethos", and if no one wants to help that is fine because I am going to figure it out anyway, I just thought I would ask in case someone was in the mood to shed some light on how computer programs actually work. I know you're out there ;-)

Have a surface norm as my offering of gratitude.

>>59776208
depends from the compiler settings/optimizations
usually the result is stored and I tried to disassemble a small program just to be sure

- if compiled with -O0 flag, yes it is calculated every time
- if compiled with -O2 flag and n is defined at compile time the call to sqrt does not even appear
- if compiled with -O2 flag and n is a volatile variable sqrt is computed every time
- for the general case I've seen only one call to sqrt, but maybe this example is too trivial

Windows detects my game controller fine and the axes look normal in the controller calibration screens, howver certain games I run have the analog stick inverted for some reason (even in menus, up is down and down is up. makes no sense and I know it's not normal)

Is this a defective controller? Or is the game bugged?

OK boys and girls(male). This is where I'm at. Short and sweet, I live within 15 minutes of a Microcenter. Pic related are the deals I can get. It seems the more expensive the Ryzen CPU I buy, the more money they take off of any compatible motherboard for the bundle.

The 1700 gets me $50 off.
1700X and 1800X get me $100 off.

The difference between the 1700 and 1700X is $20 and change, so that's really a no brainer and I'm just showing it for reference. My question is this. Is the 1800X worth the extra $100 over the 1700X? Do I gain anything other than an XFR boost of 4.0ghz rather than 3.9ghz? Is the stock cooler any better?

It already looks according to reviews that the 1800X doesn't overclock any better than its 1700X/1700 brethren.

Motherboard is the Asus ROG Crosshair. I know you can't see it in the pics.

What the fuck do I do? This apartment is great, super cheap and super close to where I work, everything is great apart from this ungodly awful internet connection.

I'm 99% sure the issue is one of these;

1: The owners have 2 separate networks, since the SSID of the one I am on is called "wifipublic".

2: The owners have security cameras about the place which I am thinking are on the network. I bet they're killing the connection.

I need advice because I don't want to move because of the fucking internet connection but I am seriously considering it.

>>59778377
edit: I suspect that for "wifipublic" they're using shit/legacy/free telecom gear, which is why it sucks, I should have mentioned.

talk to them about potentially getting a new router. Something with AC capabilities. Also no matter how good or bad the router is, if the internet connection and speed they're getting to the house is shit, the router won't make a difference.

gnu public license v2 means I'm able to mangle the thing freely for whatever purpose right?

That I can delete every attribution and everything and use it for what ever.
What precisely does gnu public license v2 mean?

How long should a disk check take for a filled up 4tb HDD? I had an errored file according to qbittorrent so I started a scan for bad sectors but it's been 3 hours and it finishes one file every 30 seconds or so.

Is that normal or could something be wrong in addition to the errored file?

Sorry. I meant GPL V3.

Not sure whether it matters

>>59778414
I'll bring it up yeah. But wireless N shouldn't be this fucking unusable. I'm 20ish feet from the router and only a wall away. I doubt a AC router would fix it if they are grogging their network down with their ~le security cameras~ despite living in a virtually crime free area.

That's the ID in the youtube URL.
There's no '-' before the 'o' in the '-o' option, is that just a typo here or part of the actual command you're running?

• Create a Web page that displays at least 4 products and their associated prices for items in a store (the store can be a jewelry store, sports store, bakery, book store, toy store, etc. - you choose the store, the products, and their prices - you can also include images of the items).
• Use a prompt box to ask the user which product they want to order, then ask how many of that product. So two necklaces at $10.00 each is $20.00. Display the item and total on the Web Page (not an Alert box).
• Use a loop and prompt box to ask the user if they want to purchase another product (accept both upper case and lower case Y for an answer of yes).
• Once the user replies=N or n (Any other character is an error and the user is asked again for a y or n) to this last question, your code will send the variable containing the subtotal all of the merchandise to a JavaScript function.
• In the function, your code will add to the subtotal 8% sales tax. So for example - the page would display 2 necklaces at $5.00 each = $10.00 and 3 bracelets at $7.00 each = $21.00 subtotal = $27.00 Sales tax = $2.16 Total sale = $29.16 (of course make the output look like a receipt - dollar signs and two decimal places - use the toFixed(2) function used on page 120 step 6).Your code should accumulate the total in a variable and display the item purchased after each product is entered -so again an array does not need to be used.
In the function, your code will also use the shipping table below to add to the Total the shipping charge (shipping is determined BEFORE tax is added to the total - so use the subtotal to check for shipping)

Why are you going around installing random roms? Anyhow, it may be a fucked rom if that's the error you're getting.

I have that part done, what I need to figure out next is how to have it examine the now upscaled images, select the ones that are smaller than a 1080 resolution and move them back to the other ToDo folder to run again. It would continue this loop until there are no images left to upscale. This is what I currently have.

Is it safe to order a GPU on amazon? What would I do if its DOA?

>>59782557
you contact the customer support and they basically always give you the money back or send a replacement product no questions asked.
if its a newer gpu they might want you to ship it back to them. they pay for the shipping of course.
amazon's customer service is literally out of this world. the last thing you should worry about is if youre going to get your money back/replacement if its DOA

My Kaspersky won't update its databases. The updates goes to 100% but it still won't update them.

Everywhere online just repeats and repeats the time&date thing of the windows date. As well as the proxy settings in the networks settings of Kaspersky.
But I have triple checked all that and it does nothing. And Kaspersky still won't update.

I even downloaded the Kaspersky update utility and downloaded the update so that I could update locally offline with a local source. And it still wouldn't update.
What gives? I have never had any trouble with Kaspersky before.

90% sure it's just the battery. Sometimes the plug icon over the battery disappears and it takes a few seconds to reconnect or it still shows but if you hover over it, it says "plugged in, not charging". Whenever I restart my computer, which isn't very often because I don't trust it to turn on properly every time, I get a popup telling me how my battery health is and it started saying "poor" around when this first started happening two months ago. Though it did it for a few days then, it stopped until last night and this morning.

While I can't contribute on the programming side, I can help provide a specific example of the same process in basic systems.

Consider creating your half adder diagram. Can you create the truth table for all possible inputs? Can you then create a boolean algebra equation that takes your inputs and provides an output?

If your answers to both are yes, then compare the equation you've written out to a simplified boolean equation from the karnaugh map.

While I understand it's not what you're looking for, this line of thinking is the same you're trying to achieve in your programming. I hope you'll find insight from it.

>>59785721
Not sure on android 5, but the default launcher on 7, I think it's google now, asks if you want to use it on the home screen, lock screen or both when setting a wallpaper.

so I have a conf file that has the structure of

define host{
use unix-host
host_name $HOSTNAME
alias $HOSTNAME
address $IP
check_command check-host-alive
}

That code block is repeated nine times each time it needs to grab the next hostname and ip from a list. How would I go about doing that in shell? The lists are just single line lists , example

apachebox1
mailbox1

as of now windows 7 is still being supported so it is a fine choice.

For features you are missing they can all be added with third party apps. From being required to use Windows 10 at the workplace all the features are not helpful productivity.

The best way would be just to try out win 10 in a vm or on a spare device.

>>59785853
Yup, support ends in 2020 if I'm right ? That's my primary concern with seven as I don't really want to "upgrade" my computer soon.

This is probably the epitome of idiocy, but...
I have been using duckduckgo because I found the bangs too convenient to properly switch to something like startpage. But I just found out about searx, and it seems that it has a "shortcuts" feature that appears to be similar to ddg's bangs...

Except I have no freaking clue how to use it. For instance, the shortcut for searching stackoverflow is "st" according to the preferences page - but how do I actually use this to directly search SO from searx? Or did I completely misunderstand how that's supposed to work?

Is it possible to convert a folder to binary file? like an archive but without compression.
I know I can just set 7z compression to zero but I'm searching the faster possible method.

Should I activate HW+ in MX Player Pro?

Few days ago time on my pc(win10) fucked up and is one hour behind what it should be, syncing it to windows, nist or google yields the same results
I imagine this is because of recent summer-time, but I don't want to have to manually switch my time every half a year, so any ideas how to fix the shit so it would be automatic as it was for 15 years until now ?

Question: Are there any free online email services that HAVEN'T been hacked yet, or should I stick with the well-known names? Looking for a new email service, obviously.

>>59786886
Set your own email server

>>59786835
desu don't even know what to say, before trying to fiddle with the time servers I had to turn off automatic summer time to get the right time, now I turned the other automatic time setting and chose the time zone myself + left automatic summer time and it's fine now
This was a stupid question to begin with

>>59786899
If only I had the cash to do that; of course, I wouldn't necessarily be looking for a FREE email service if I wasn't a poorfag, now would I.

>>59786677
Why not? Just install a good text editor along with it and you'll be fine.

Any non-scam links to download WIndows 10? I've been a Linuxfag for 5 years and I've got to install Windows because of college.

>>59786958
I've been reading online and there seems to be a bit of a divide on whether its actually good on windows or not. I have my linux config but struggling to make a config that works on both windows and linux completely - my powerline gets fucked and the fonts are awful.

Don't even know if its worth it in comparison to visual studio with VsVim, especially when compiling feels clunky in emacs on windows (but again, don't know if thats just because I haven't gone into enough detail or whether its just not good on windows)

How hard is it to clean a CRT monitor?

This monitor has never been cleaned in 15 years, its full of dust inside.
Also do monitors use internal batteries?

If I'm given a public key (GnuPG v2 or PGP Public Key Block), and an email address, how do I send the recipient an encrypted email?

Also, what's some recommended reading for encrypting/decrypting email?

where the fuck were google play books stored ?I'm obviously talking about the chrome PC app, linux to be more specific.


I'm pretty sure there's a shitty cache location since the app supports offline reading which saves the books in .epub but i can't remember where it is.

>>59787661
This.
Compressor on open air, and better use simple anti-dust respirator.

>>59787676
the safest way (if i recall correctly) is to find out if your mobo has an "auto mode" for RAM.

Can't speculate anymore since i've never done it

>>59787639
DO NOT open your CRT unless you know what you are doing. There are massive high voltage capacitors in there that can kill you, easily, if you do the wrong thing. There is also a vacuumed bit, which can implode. Since you asked that question, you definitely don't know shit about what you are doing.

/g/ will tell you to not be a pussy, but don't listen. Either do a lot of research beforehand, so you actually know what you are doing, or just don't mess with it.

Or, take it to a shop and have them do it. It just isn't worth the risk. It is probably true that if you just unscrew the plastic and use compressed air, you'll be fine. But there is still a significant risk if you fucking up. If you really want to do that, be sure to have it powered off for a few days before trying it, maybe then a shock won't kill you. Maybe.

If you aren't white though just open that bitch up, you'll be fine niqqa, minority magic will protect you.

Is there a way to install a skin in foobar without losing shit like playlists, track history etc?

I started using foobar last year and I love it, but I'm kinda tired of it's basic design.

>>59787732
Im kind of aware of the capacitors, the last time i opened a CRT i had help, but that was a cheap small TV not a monitor.

This is a Sony trinitron, no one does service to CRTs in my city anymore.

>>59787734
Faster wifi adapter.

How do I learn to program?

>>59787776
Just do your research and be careful then. Or, just leave it be. Those capacitors are in the tens of kilovolts. IMO it just isn't worth it, since there isn't a problem right now.

If you really had to do something, I'd suggest turning the monitor upside down over a grate or something, and spraying dust off in from the bottom, letting it fall out. But it would probably just be better to leave it alone, you might upset the solidified layer.

Also, these capacitors will be much more powerful.

I'm running Ubuntu. Might as well try Debian. Thanks.

so i found an old imac g5, and because I don't have the install disc, I went around the computer in an attempt to clear it before selling it. After deleting a bunch of useless files, I accidentally moved one important Os file into the trash bin and reset the computer afterwords.

Now the computer is stuck in a kernel panic. Is it possible to fix it with a fire-wire cable in Target disk Mode or is it completely fucked?

Will ram latencies ever improve? It seems to be the one area where there is little difference from the abslute low end, to the enthusiast end

7848 hasn't

Got a question I can't get my NMVe drive to work
I own a gigabyte z170 updated to F21 lastest Bios
it tries to boot into the drive then just fails and boots into lan made and then just gives drive errors

I did a perfect clone of my sata SSD onto my NVMe drive even set a MBR basic partion and its still wount work.
uggghhh why isn't it working?

I think something maybe wrong it bios and never really tinker with a UEFI bios before other than fan speeds.

I have set it to UEFI mode for the HDD's and SATA SSD i have.
also the PCI-E lanes for sata ports 1 and 2 got disabled when I installed the NVMe SSD is this normal?

I want to buy a new GPU. My main focus is rendering, but I also want to play some games (mainly the Dark Souls series). I've been thinking about getting the GTX 1050. I live in Brazil so the taxes on computer hardware are really high, so I can't afford a top notch video card.

Do you people think this card is good or is there any other that stands better for my goals?

>>59788951

GPU is on the way out or you have a bad driver.

but if you pc is turning off your PSU could die soon in fact I think that is the case.

the best i can say is get another PSU.

I use ffmpeg, but my biggest complaint is it's really rough- you can only cut to the closest second, as far as I can tell. So my webms of short scenes tend to have an added extra frame of an unwanted camera change, or are slightly too short, sometimes.

ffmpeg is a single .exe you open in cmd, and an anon gave me the following command (pic related) to use as a rec, if you fancy it:

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -ss 00:02:45 -t 00:01:30 -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 21 -c:a aac -b:a 192k -map_metadata -1 output.mp4

I believe 4chan only supports VP8 webms, where ffmpeg defaults to VP9. I don't know how to change to VP8, but you have to remove audio, anyway, which when I tried to do I failed...

Thank you for your response. It is very helpful. It is "what I am looking for" as long as it is related, which it is. I'm not strict about getting free advice. Beggars can't be choosers :) Karnaugh maps are on my to-do list. I have indeed learned how to prove validity and consistency with truth tables for small arguments before I knew any math. I would fill in the proof tables in excel, but feel dissatisfied not knowing how to write them automatically, since I knew programming existed at least, and it seems like it was something that should be "naturally" programmable since it could all be represented discretely in a spreadsheet. I understand that the larger the argument the longer it takes to prove because of the huge number of truth assignment combinations. Since asking I've downloaded a bunch of lecture notes on getting started with ASM and Intel's Manuals for x86. It seems like there is a huge gap between what is taught in computer programming courses and computer engineering courses. Why is this? Why wouldn't knowing how the tool you are using works before using it be essential to using the tool? I find it very strange the order in which computer science is taught. high to low seems so backwards. Why not make everyone start with circuits and voltage manipulation?
