The "Shit we never otherwise discuss" thread

>>60994460
It's pretty well known that /dpt/ tends to devolve into nonsense 20 posts in, so I'm not sure /dpt/ is good at discussing anything. It's a shame.

>>60994749
Yeah, I wish some of the real oldfags of /g/ had not left. This place was once the jewel of 4chan.

Actual technology is hard unlike repeating the same old shitposts about otherwise unremarkable consumer hard/software

What oldfags do you speak of? I remember some tripfags. One guy named Johnson that used to get some shit done, and another named Marisa who'd post about OS development. IIRC he actually got far enough to display graphics

How2 land a job in computer architecture? Everywhere I look, companies ask for electrical engineering experience, but I'm a CS babby.

An interesting example to look at is:
Compare https://warosu.org/g/thread/40364230 to https://warosu.org/g/thread/55414062
The 2014 thread starts off good, degenerates a bit, but overall attempts to be about programming. Meanwhile, the 2016 thread immediately devolves in hardcore anime shitposting.
Normally, when forums degenerate, they slowly get worse and worse, but /dpt/ has gotten exponentially worse in the last 2 years.

Well I guess that's the response I should have expected. I know Verilog, for what it's worth.

I used to work in a devops/SCM team. Jenkins was a big part of our day-to-day, mainly cause developers can't into maven dependency management and kept breaking the builds. There was an active effort from my manager to start using Rundeck as our deployment platform, but that never came to pass, it was all kept as 1k line shell scripts in Jenkins.
Recently, I switched teams and am working in our Big Data™ unit. Pretty cool stuff, but I can't into Kafka and Hadoop for shit. Looking at the source code for all the objects I have to interact with, I'm disgusted at the lack of documentation. Fuck Apache.
I guess you could ask me about these things if you're just starting out, but I'm not that well versed either.

Be glad your developers were using maven and not a custom mess that slowly developed in-house over a decade, gradually accruing more and more random bullshit while lacking essential features.

Does apache keep a map of all it's current projects and how they interconnect? It's always felt like they're trying to build a (potential) comprehensive suite of software but rarely seems to be explained as such.

>>60998747
>implying the only interconnection isn't the fact that they're all built with maven

Any one know any good resources for decompelling archives/game-archives using C or C++?

>>60998926
zlib
or
give more info

Decompiling/reverse engineering, game-archives.
I'm well versed in QuickBMS but I want to move onto more advance decompelling using, C or C++.

fuck off >>>/r/eddit

>>60998747
A lot of apache projects are donated to then when a company moves on from internally developing it. So there is not necessarily an overall reason.

>>60994460
Hacker News does this stuff.
