Is an i5 6600k / gtx 1060 6 gig a good configuration if I want to stream, or do you think I need a better processor?

What I wish more than anything is for programming to come as freely as writing does and for it to be my autistic habit instead. Do seasoned programs ever feel like their "output" comes freely, and is it an autistic, therapeutic obsession for them?

I always feel like in c++ there has to be so much extra code besides the actual instructions of what the program does, which is the part I like. Such as, set and get methods! They annoy me, and is that just how the computer stores things in memory? Do other programming languages have them or only java and c++?

Also, is it ok to just passively read about programming sometimes? Or is the only meaningful way to spend time actively solving problems and working examples?

im trying to buy a flip phone off offer up, and most flip phones are carrier locked aka carrier os. How do i remove the carrier os is there any software

>>62468529
>Do seasoned programs ever feel like their "output" comes freely,
Yeah but more often than not you are going to be working with something you haven't before, a new library or api, and that is always going to slow you down.

Do Windows users at CS/SE-related jobs face prejudice? In your experience. Just curious.

>>62468531
Carrier locked ≠ carrier OS

You want an unlocked phone, compatible with the carrier you're going to use. GSM phones are generally pretty cross-compatible, although a lot of CDMA phones only work for one network. Phones will generally work on MVNOs that use the same towers without being unlocked.

Yes. Their shit. Not the shit they are being paid to do, mainly because they can't.

>>62468743
>Yes. Their shit. Not the shit they are being paid to do
unless "their shit" is ironing out quirks that got introduced because the other devs were using win/mac machines to develop a backend that runs on linux servers.

Encrypting USBs for cold storage wallets to store my ALTCOINS like ARK, BAT and NAV.
If I do this correctly essentially key loggers and RATs won't be able to cause trouble for my funds or hack into any of my wallets because the encryption would block the keylogger from getting my correct phrases and a RAT wouldn't be able to touch any funds once the USB is removed anyways as long as my USB the badguys have no access to funds because installed and I made sure only the USB has the wallets?

I think sha-1 is a hash you check alongside the "untouched" Windows 7 ISO. If they match, it's genuinely an untouched W7 ISO. If it's different, it may or may not be a virus, but it's not the bare naked iso is what that means.

basically if the "sha-1" matches the confirmed original you're comparing to then it's a 1:1 copy of what M$ released, so you'll have no worries.

I got ransomware and I turned off my computer instead of paying, thing I could hit a old restart spot but when I lost erverything I owned in crypto coins and my operating system was gone. The only thing I own like a antivirus is windows defender, is there something free or if do I need to pay for great protection like Norton premium to be able to find and contain threats before they happen? I lost nothing compared to some but it was all I had and I worked for it. I bought a new version of windows10 but what anti virus setup should I use with my win10 computer? Should I just save and eventually buy a cheaper Linux only laptop and do all my transfers from that? Is there a Anit/virius/malware/ransomware program that is the best.

>>62470116
You can check the test results to see how the different AVs do. It varies over time. I haven't used AVG in like 10 years, but I hear it's pretty behind. Bitdefender has had really good scores the last few years, no ads, and it's light as hell, but the free version doesn't give you a lot of options. It pairs well with malwarebytes.

if I've upgraded from legit 7 to 10 via the free upgrade, and then change the hard drive for another and install the same version of windows via iso/usb onto that drive, will windows detect that I (essentially) have the same computer using their fancy digital license system, and confirm my copy as legit?

>>62470471
>https://www.polyphasicsociety.com/polyphasic-sleep/overviews/everyman/
That looks cool. I have a problem where i always get tired in the afternoon then wake up around 8pm. Ive slept through my classes twice now, and we are only allowed to miss two days, so it sucks because now I am stressed it will happen again.

So yeah. It sucks because as soon as the morning light hits my eyes I feel deathly groggy but cant fall asleep till around noon at the earliest, so I have a block of time where I am useless and groggy. Ideally I would sleep twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon but I cant seem to fall asleep in the mornings when I want to.

>>62470545
It will register the same signature, yes. Switching out a drive does not impact your license.

Yeah, instead of fighting it, listen to your body and work around it. I have a similar problem too so going to try out polyphasic sleep. My only hurdle will be vastly reducing my core from the typical 9hrs to 3.5hrs so should be fun.

>>62470620
Shouldn't matter. It's just based on the hardware, yeah.

It's completely unnecessary for just switching out a drive. The mobo is where you would run into problems.

Pretty sure I actually have gotten away with swapping a mobo and doing phone activation though. Microsoft phone activation is usually pretty lenient in general so it's a good next step if activation fails for whatever reason.

>>62470662
Yeah, that works most of the time. But he was just asking about switching out drives, and for that there's no need to even think about the phone system.

So I think my motherboard is dieing. I thought it was the GPU but it's having problems with the replacement with no signal output. About 1 and half years ago I bought a high quality Chinese engineered PCI to PCI-E bridge that overloaded and fried the PCI-E slots on the board. One survived which was the one with the GPU but it appears to finally have reached its demise.

I used a RAID 1 with this board which contains files I need. Everything critical is backed up but I'd like to get some of the this stuff if I can. Can drives that have been in a RAID 1 on one RAID controller (Intel in this case) be read by another or rather can one single drive be read like a normal single drive? So if I take one of these drives, stick it into another machine will it be able to read it or not like any other standalone drive?

Lamo that's something you get when you go through an installer and forget to un-tick install additional programs.

Let me get this right, getting a GPU would reduce my CPU(I5-4460) usage from 60% to less than 10% when i play 4k videos right?

I have had this 2TB internal Seagate HDD for ~5 years. It's for storage only, the OS is on another drive. Last night while qbittorent was writing something on it, the HDD started to make a repetitive, jarring sound. I was on my headphones so the sound could've been going on for a few minutes already.

Soon after when trying to access files on the drive, programs started lagging unable to read it. Qbittorrent also gave an error message. Then W10 froze completely and I had to do a hard reset.

Now after rebooting Windows' File Explorer can't see the drive. There's no letter assigned to it. Device Manager, Disk Management and Speccy see the hardware but the capacity is wrong. Speccy for example lists the size as 127GB (pic related).. this seems weird?

There's some stuff on the HDD I'd love to recover so I unplugged and set it aside for now.

What should be my next step?

>>62474748
Boot linux, mount it, try copying shit over that way. If no luck, run recovery tools like recuva

>>62475008
Meant turn on

>>62475008
Well, it depends how it's implemented, but it makes quiet shit louder and loud shit quieter so it's an even experience. It can be useful if you're watching a movie with way too loud explosions and quiet voices for example, but realize that you'd be changing what the movie is and that somebody thought those loud explosions were a good idea.
I generally keep it off unless I don't care about what I'm watching.

What parts should I upgrade?

I know I need a new CPU and GPU. But do I need mobo to go with?

RAM speeds are fucked cause I have 2 x 1333 and 2 x 2333.

>>62475231
I think CPU first, and yeah you'd need a new mobo with that, and probably new RAM because DDR4. Personally I'd probably choose AMD's Ryzen at this point over Intel.
Though the GPU is probably a bit old as well, so to match the new CPU you'd be better of upgrading that as well. So basically a completely new PC aside from the case, hard drives, and PSU.

Can I record video with the screen off on Android?

I recently noticed that when I post on /adv/ with ublock origins gives me 'connection error'. I haven't tested this on anywhere else. However posting here for example works fine. Is this related to Hiroshima somehow or just some kind of bug? I'm aware of that ekansovi thing on some boards.

>>62475406

>>62475501

Depends on what you want, there's SC-OS which is for creepshots and is closed source and kinda shady in my opinion. And I know of CosyDVR which I use as a dashcam app while having a different app open in my car. I'm sure there are other though.

>>62475528

>>62475536

How to download whole website in a decent way?

I got a website hosted by OVH. For some reason one day some part of it went down due to the database with this error :

>Error: Unable to connect to MySQL. Debugging errno: 1203 Debugging error: User already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections

Ofc I reviewed the source code and all connections are closed once the queries are made.
Problem is that I can't access it via the phpmyadmin interface neither so can't see what are those active connexions.

It's a small website for an association so there isn't much traffic (~80 per day) and active connections are supposed to be closed after a few minutes of inactivity anyway (or maybe ovh default config are retarded?). It's been a day like this and it's a little bit annoying

[blog]Well, the reason I'm asking is because I think I'm having issues with my first PC build. I installed all the parts properly (CPU, RAM, GPU), and ensured that each part that needed to be connected to the PSU was connected(power sw, reset sw, etc). Yet, whenever I power the PC on, nothing displays.

I've tried connecting to the TV by HDMI and VGA cabling, but I still don't get a display. I've also noticed that the PC doesn't power off unless I turn off the power supply directly, no matter how long I hold the case's power button this still occurs.

I've also noticed that the PC appears to shut of, if only for an instant, then appears to constantly turn on/turn off. I don't know if this is because I used the stock heat sink that came with my CPU, which I did not apply thermal paste to since it claimed it was already applied.

I'll just redo everything and see how it goes.[/blog]

Bear with me on this... I'm just wondering if there's any Linux equivalent to Comodo Firewall, as in an application for GNU/Linux systems that provides popup menus for network AND filesystem activity.

For example, with Comodo, if an application tries to modify the registry, you can block that, and most will still run properly. Same with blocking applications that request internet connections but most likely don't need them.

Well aware of iptables but looking for something that provides prompts, thanks.

CS grad here, gonna answer some question even though you've long since left the thread.
>programming to come as freely as writing?
yes, but it's different. programming involves not only typing, but also reading, and very often taking out a notebook and scribbling down notes and doing calculus/algebra or whatever.

When you're writing code without having looked something up in the last 5 minutes, you're doing it wrong. because 99% of the time, as a novice programmer, you'll be trying to reinvent every possible wheel. don't do that.
>I always feel like in c++ there has to be so much extra code besides the actual instructions
don't use c++, except maybe to learn how memory and pointers work (although it's mostly irrelevant nowadays besides knowing the difference between a value and a reference)

I personally suggest javascript. you can do all the basic shit, on top of having a lot of easy functional functionality. plus, you don't even need to install a compiler!

try to program completely without loops, and you'll write significantly more readable and compact code.

>Also, is it ok to just passively read about programming sometimes?

I need to write a JS function that pulls data from an existing API (typical http GET call). The API returns the data in JSON format. I am using getJSON followed by JSON.stringify to set a global variable (which I know I probably shouldn't do). My issue is that because getJSON is async. the global variable isn't getting set.

pic related, jsonstr is my global variable, it is still empty after the function call. I have confirmed that the data is being retrieved correctly.

func

>>62480425
Try returning the value, then outside the function assign the value to the variable.
Something like this

 function getJSONStr(URL){
return $.get......................
}
var jsonstr = getJSONStr("google")

This way you make sure jsonstr gets a value

It depends on the GPU (does it have 4K hardware decoding or not), the codec used (does your GPU has hardware decoding for that particular codec) and software support in your player/OS.

>>62481468
Well I don't know how to fix the video then, maybe try adding

-quality best -qmin 0

, but that shouldn't fix it I think.

>"Error: Bad audio stream. Only Vorbis is supported."
This can be fixed by encoding the audio to vorbis. Basically the same, just use -acodec and -b:a in addition. Google what you should specifically use for -acodec, I don't know of the top of my head.

Do it on a VM, make a friend and borrow his/her laptop.
Or buy a shitty laptop on ebay, it might even be cheaper that 1 month of VPS.

libvorbis worked, and I realized the problem with the blank video is I was setting the video bitrate too low.

A spreadsheet is not suited for this, I rather use the web tools, and I am using gnu/linux, so I am not checking out the msproject.

Two questions

1) Are the manufacturer's chipset drivers necessary anymore? I have an old Acer computer running a Phenom X4 9550 but there are no drivers available. It seems to work fine, I haven't stress tested it yet but for example wifi worked without installing anything. It also fetched the driver for the GPU too. The windows 10 chipset driver seems to function okay.

2) On my other old computer, running an Asus P5K (LGA775), C2Q 8300 and 8GB RAM there's a problem when transferring files between W10 computers in my home network. If I load the network, the network adapter will crash, troubleshooter says the defualt gateway isn't available. I know it's not caused by my router cause it doesn't happen on my other LGA775-based HP, running a very similar setup. It could be that I don't have proper LAN drivers for the computer, but neither does the HP. I know it's not the network adapter, because I bought a USB Ethernet adapter and the same problem happened with that even with all the drivers installed. If I tried to transfer files wirelessly, using an old 802.11b adapter (USB), it would transfer all files slow, but it would not cut the connection. What gives? I try to google the problem but all I get is the average pajeets with their empty blanket answers.

Could this problem be caused by Windows? Usually I run LTSB but this computer has W10 Professional.

what is the best theme patcher :^)
using w7 deus

What exactly is the point of RAM? Like, I know what it does, but what's the difference between good RAM and bad RAM and what does it effect?

I'm retarded. If I add third stick of RAM to a Dual-Channel mobo will I lose the benefits of this Dual-Channel mode?

I've seen three different types of answer to this question on the internets:
>yes, you will lose Dual-Channel mode
>no, for Dual-Channel mode you need just two sticks or more
>yes and no, two of the sticks will run in Dual-Channel mode and the odd one will run Single-Channel

>>62481983

You lose dual channel it's that simple.

>>62481983

Nah you won't lose shit.

best way to theme w10?

im going to college exactly 1 year from now, yes i am 18 so dont go hurr durr underage

what should i major in if i want to work with electronics? like designing and building them, as well as video game stuff?

>>62475183
I just use chrome to fill out PDF forms.

>>62481960
Speed, lifetime, build quality, heatsinks, warranty. That sorta stuff. Bad ones will break faster. Speed doesn't matter that much for game performance. I'd just buy from a reputable brand myself.

build a new pc.
which OS should I go for?
Win 7,8 or 10?

>>62481960
RAM has two things you care about: Latency(how long it takes for RAM to react when CPU wants something) and bandwidth(how quickly the RAM can move things when it receives the request from CPU). This has small effect on any programs/operations that don't fit entirely in the CPU cache: unless you're running a program that's particularly sensitive to RAM, the difference between good and bad RAM is generally in the 1-5% range*.

Good RAM has as high bandwidth as you can afford(reasonably priced DDR4 tops at around 3200MHz range at the moment) and CAS of about 1/200MHz(this because the latency is actually measured in clock cycles. It works out to about 10ns in real terms since DDR frequency is doubled in marketing speak) and works with your motherboard(this can be an issue especially with Ryzen, since it can be relatively picky about RAM, though BIOS updates keep making it better).

*does not apply with Ryzen or any of the zen-based platforms: because infinity fabric is tied to RAM speed, RAM with higher bandwidth can make a big difference - but that's more about infinity fabric design than RAM itself

Thanks you guys. Appreciate the info!

Electrical engineering might fit. Not so much for video games though, but it has PCB's and data transfer and shit.
Take your time to really research this shit though, though it seems you're doing just that.

>>62482081

Electrical Engineering, with a few programming classes on the side.

>>62482266
Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Or Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB.

EE or CE.
CE is better for games.
EE is better for electronics.

I took CE, we had 2 courses on electronics where you learn about the theory 3 courses on FPGA where you combine electronics and programming and then a couple of courses on embedded programming.
It won't be the same for you, but this is the amount of electronics you get with CE.
If you need more than that, go EE.

>>62482411
Plug it into your GPU?

>>62482462
I tried that first but same thing no display

I need a BD player.
Whcih ones are the best for 1080 and the best for 4k?
I'd like to get a 1080p one below 70€, and if 4K, then around 100€ I guess. There is that p240 or whatever from Philips or Samsung, I don't remember.

>>62481524
Then if i get a GTX 1050Ti which has 4k decoding then it will reduce the CPU usage?
It will be mostly for youtube videos.

>>62482584
try the old gpu. Try no GPU plugged in the mobo. Try to wobble a little the cable. I have 4 monitor and it's a hell to get them all to work if I move my case just a little.

are there any decent solutions for a windows firewall? i want to block all connections by default and prompt for access, so windows firewall doesn't do that

netlimiter would be good but it has a trial and im not sure if i want to use a crack since the crack itself could be malware for all i know

Anons, I need help. I want to create a web page with a simple signup system.
I've already done a database and a C++ program to singup users.
I now want to do a web page but I have no idea how to connect the web page with the database
Pic related is the web page.
In other words, I just want the buttons to send the information and store it in the database, like the C++ program does

Also. How do I change the text in the buttons?

how are the post digits on 4chan determined? they are not truly random but in a growing order

Homework question here:

I have to write a python program that given a large 50 MB DNA sequence and a smaller one, of around 15 characters, returns a list of all sequences of 15 characters ordered by how close they are to the one given as well as where they are in the larger one.


My current approach is to first get all the subsequences:

def get_subsequences_of_size(size, data):
    sequences = {}
    i = 0
    while(i+size <= len(data)):
        sequence = data[i:i+size]
        if sequence not in sequences:
            sequences[sequence] = data.count(sequence)
        i += 1
    return sequences

and then pack them in a list of dictionaries according to what the problem asked (I forgot to get the position):

def find_similar_sequences(seq, data):
    similar_sequences = {}
    sequences = get_subsequences_of_size(len(seq), data)
    for sequence in sequences.keys():
        diffs, muts = calculate_similarity(seq,sequence)
        if diffs not in similar_sequences:
            similar_sequences[diffs] = [{"Sequence": sequence, "Mutations": muts}]
        else:
            similar_sequences[diffs].append({"Sequence": sequence, "Mutations": muts})
        #similar_sequences[sequence] = {"Similarity": (len(sequence)-diffs), "Differences": diffs, "Mutatations": muts}
    return similar_sequences

The problem is that this code is VERY SLOW. What kind of approach should I take to speed it up?

>>62482641
I tried eveything you listed and no dice. Even removed the ram and same thing

>>62482626

Youtube uses VP9 by default. I'm pretty sure the 1050 does not have hardware accelerated VP8/VP9 decoding. You can force Youtube to use mp4/H.264 with a browser extension.

My disk usage is getting 100% usage even when programs are reading 0.6 MB/s and sometimes it sounds yet I bought it 2 months ago.
Perhaps I need to defrag it? What's a good tool to do so?

Any good proxies to use for /int/?

I went to turn on my ps4 today and was met with Error Code CE-34335-8, "cannot access system storage". Won't even boot into safe mode or anything. So I open it up to take a look at the hard drive, and the platter is looking pretty scuffed (I assume it's not supposed to look like this) and there's some sort of mark on the inner circle that I've never seen before. The hard drive is a HGST 7K1000 that spins at 7200rpm, faster than the default hard drive's 5400. Does anyone know what could've happened here, and whether it was the fault of the console or the hard drive itself? I don't want to end up buying a new hdd only for this same thing to happen again a few months down the line. The console never got moved around when it was turned on, and the hdd hasn't been touched since I installed it almost a year ago.

>>62484524
Display cable is disconnected or damaged.
Easy fix.

>Stripped screw
Stop using fucking Phillips #00 or #000 on Phillips #1 screws.

>>62484693
Plug it in a Computer, read SMART data.
Also some HDDs look like that, nothing to worry about.
