Good ol' guts thread in the spirits of newly finished waterloop.
>>48007188The backplate was pretty cool and kudos for sticking to the theme but the bottom part was pretty fucking useless, also I like how he cablecombed right up until the bottom compartment and then it went right into a rats nest. He never really done a lot with the case either which is a shame considering how many specialized tools he had access to.Also this >>48007254if you;re going to spend, what $4k at least a couple of cards in there. that things gonna be struggling, graphically anyway, in 3 years. or now at 4k..

>>48007364ya i know what you mean. I'm still running piss quality monitors on my main computer, so whatever it not a big deal for me, does anyone know if i would be at an advantage of running two video cards in non crossfire, for two displays, rather than one off the integrated, and the other from a discreet? i suspect i would....... the cards are not crossfire compatable...
>>48007405You want to have 2 cards not in x-fire?there's no advantage to that apart from having access to more inputs and maybe mining. What's the 2nd card going to be driving? your desktop?
>>47994960those cases are such a challenge, but I have faith in you, anon
I'm teaching someone some basic Java and now we're at the part where I have to explain objects and classes. I've tried explaining OOP concepts such as "cat" is a class and Mr. Whiskers is an instance of class cat. She still has trouble understanding it.tl;dr How would you explain OOP to a beginner?
>>48008569>OOP is not a fundamental CS concept.It's still an important one though. If you can't even grasp that you're literally fucked.
>>48008602Yes they are actually. They are compound types, and that's the very definition of a class.Deal with it.
>She still has trouble understanding it.>SheThere's your problem.
>>48008518The idea is that I don't think adding methods is necessary to explain the class concept, or the difference between a class and an instance of a class. It just serves to complicate things and can be effortlessly introduced later without having to contradict previously learned concepts.
>>48008330Huh.Start with some ASM. Then show her what classes and classes instance are for the machine, teach her pointers, vtables and all that shit, it's easy.
MICROSOFT NOT ACTUALLY GIVING WINDOWS AWAY TO PIRATES FOR FREE.>While our free offer to upgrade to Windows 10 will not apply to Non-Genuine Windows devices, and as we’ve always done, we will continue to offer Windows 10 to customers running devices in a Non-Genuine statehttp://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/05/15/genuine-windows-and-windows-10/
>>48001571Is there a way to know if my copy is seen as genuine or not?
I never bought any Windows license.That being said, I've got an MSDNAA account, because i'm not a pleb.So I will get a legit and clean copy of Windows 10 that way :)It will be for my gaming rig.My laptop will stay under W7 and Linux until 2020.
>>48001571>thinking Microsoft would give something to people who steal their software

>>48001884wait that happend? that must have been a massive shit storm
Hey /g/Looking through the specifications, I can't really find a difference between these two cards. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127850http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127832Same size, same power consumption, same type of memory, same frequencies, etc. So what makes the other $10 more?
Old thread at >>47991941Old one is 300+itt:computer science,programming,software engineering,reverse engineering.What are you working on, /g/?
>>48000443did you supply a seed?
>>48008558I call Randomize() at the beginning of main which seeds from the random device.
>>48008572do you have a random device?
>>48008581>std::random_device may be implemented in terms of an implementation-defined pseudo-random number engine if a non-deterministic source (e.g. a hardware device) is not available to the implementation. In this case each std::random_device object may generate the same number sequence. Fuck, I guess not, do I seed it with time then?
>>48008607if you're on linux you can use /dev/urandom else time is okay but very predictable. you could just ask the user to supply some random input.though unless you're actually writing something that needs as random numbers as it can get time is probably good enough.
>The only way to make it clear to him that he should not come here to our lists in the future, is to teach him a hard lesson, and that is done by continually re-adding cc's back to him -- because the mails talk about him -- even when his friends come our mailing lists and delete the his address from the cc list.

>>48008521/n/ is bicycles though
Just built a new system.I've been looking at the drivers and utilities for my mobo (MSI Z97I AC) and I've been wondering: Do I really need any of those utilities?
>>48008560everything transportation except cars (/o/) is /n/but yeah, mostly bicycles there
Let's say I use C and make a char array of length 100, and then use scanf to read in a string of the length 50. Would it automatically add a null terminator after the 50th element, or at the 100th element, or not at all?I want to iterate through the string afterwards and I would stop at the appearance of the null terminator. So that's something I need to know

>>48006826Are you a Microsoft shill? You guys sure come here a lot. :^)
>>48006796>Cortana>doesn't even workCall me when it works in a free country, instead of a third-world shithole.
Linux gives you all the tools you need to develop your own speech recognition and "artificial intelligence" so I don't see the problem. If this is something you like, build it.
Isn't W10 still buggy as fuck?I wanted to try it for some time but I want something that works.

>>480076400:53 look at the stickers, do these kids really want to learn something?I really like how this "model" reads her whole text.
>>48008564It's not irrelevant. If was getting into nursing (lel), there would be something nice about joining a group of male nurses and sharing experiences. Working in a industry 90% dominated by the opposite gender can have its downsides.
eurofag here, that isn't english. Can someone explain me what are pre-college academy ? what are the purpose of those ?
>>48008587why is "model" in quotes?

What is the best graphics card on the market today and why is it the Asus GTX 970 Strix?
The strix is an inferno next to my 290x.
>>48007438>3.5 mb>mb ok then
>>48006873>best GPU on the market>not even the best GPU in the GeForce line
>>48008388you know what i mean anon

How buggy is the win10 tech preview? Don't really care about gentoo b/c I am an accountant not a driver magicianP.S. I use Win8 on my macobok on bare metal - OSX really got gay after tiger
>>48008540>OSX really got gay after tigerYou should see Mavericks. They managed to figure out how to make it gayer.
>>48008540I been using it for two free months and i ditched it.too many bugs, and no stable gpu drivers.not to mention only dota 2 agreed to be launched.i went 8.1 til 10 is out.
What will the performance differential between Skylake and Zen be?
>>48008439But not very many it would seem.
>>48008448Well, the 4890 v2 is ivy bridge based while the 8890 v3 is haswell based.
>>48008346but they DON'T have higher clocks, or more cache.they have LOWER clocks and the same amount of cache as i7s.
>>48008476To be fair, if you want a quad-core with hyperthreading, a xeon e3 will be cheaper than an i7, even if it does come with slightly lower clocks. Of course, since they're based on the same die, they do come with graphics which may or may not be disabled depending on the model.
>>48007556likely 10%. That's about the difference between skylake and haswell.
"You know things are good when they are absolutely fantastically excellent."- me on KDE 5.x seriesNot desktop thread, just banter about the new KDE with friends. >switched plasma theme from default light to default dark>using default alternate menu That's all ricing I've done and perfectly happy now. Took me hours to get KDE4 even passable. I'd say that's progress.
>>48008526Yeah it's not ported fully to frameworks5 yet, so it practically installs KDE4 as dependency. thank god that madness is coming to an end.
>>48008537>>tfw answering the phone autopauses playing music>>tfw seeing all whatsapp and messenger notification on desktop>tfw I see these as a downside
So how do i make the Konsol looks less shit?
>>48008303Tried, didn't change anything. Is there an option somewhere to change the panel background?
>>48008567Well you're in luck bc this is KDE so you can just disable things you don't like. Imagine having this on GNOME>phone integration: ON/OFF
