>>231 Ocaml. Basically haskell but developed by coders instead of mathematicians.

Definitely C. Simple, efficient, and it works.

Honorable mention for PHP

For C/C++ programmers: What do you think about the extern keyword? imo it's quite useful with proper documentation.

>>1463 writing good modular code without extern is neigh impossible in C. It and static globals are the only way you have of scoping symbols by file. C++ has namespaces but they look like shit and I don't like it.

>>1433 Learn all you want but it's literally impossible without taking open source code for elf, or writing an assembler compatible with gnu ld, if you don't want to write every program from scratch all over again. Also debugging is basically impossible.

>>1433 https://wiki.osdev.org/Expanded_Main_Page start here, people might join you later on, but you need a base. Make it themed to this site or something.

>>1435 I started years ago, I gave up. It doesn't look like you have an idea of how long "making it look like x" will take.

I really want to create a bootloader in C...

>>1461 fork an elf library and read the UEFI specification it is piss easy.

>>1447 qutebrowser?

>>1454 Why the -Werror flags? Typically the programs that actually need them, already have them, and programs that simply can't work with them for some reason have a "-fno...".

>>1458 Not that hikarin but in the LTO part of the wiki on Gentoo it recommends you do that. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/LTO#GCC_Systems

>>1454 I think PORTAGE_SCHEDULING_POLICY="idle" is recommended over PORTAGE_NICENESS=10 btw.

A Nokia and one of those, which would survive a fall from an apartment building first?

>$255 hoollly fuck are you guys fucking crazy????

>>1428 are you poor?

>>1429 yes i don't have $255 for junk that barely costs $100 these days. it's far more practical to save up to $600 and buy something decent and recent

Its a little off topic but I recently bought a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 with 32GB of RAM and a 13th gen Intel i7 CPU and I'm loving it so far This is the first time I've ever used Windows on a laptop before without it being insanely laggy

>I always thought the type of person who would want a Librebooted Thinkpad would also be the type of person who would want to do it themselves I think some people want the benefits of it without having to actually do it themselves

>>38 understanding basic geometry in 2D and in 3D, (for example, equations of lines, linear interpolations between points) is very helpful if you are dealing with graphics or even just bare gui layouts For everything else, the way math works is that once someone has figured something out you can just copy the solution. It's highly unlikely that you ever get to work on something inovative so its quite useless. It's still a good idea to understand these things tough If I say that your algorithm takes quadratic time, you should immediately know what that means and why otherwise you will look like a dunce

The amount of math you need will vary depending on what "genre" of programming you're working in. Web development might not need more than basic arithmetic, but you should explore languages that specialize in scientific computation to see another world of computing. https://julialang.org/community/organizations/

Not a lot and for those areas where it is necessary you can learn it then since it's usually just a sub-part of what you'd get taught in school. (like matrices and calculus for 3D graphics or understanding the modular multiplicative inverse for RSA crypto) It's usually the theoretical college parts for academics that focus on the mathematics.

Many people think that math is the only form of logic or the purest one, but math is just one of many different ways to think logically. Computers and machines focus primarily on machine logic, iteration, electricity, etc. Programming is highly logical but it's not a branch of maths by itself. What to expect: If you do computer graphics, data analysis, LLM, etc, you will use a decent amount of maths, not because of programming itself but because of your field. If you don't work on a math-heavy field then you won't do much maths besides arithmetics, though something that sticks is the declarative mindset of maths. Computers are inherently procedural, but in functional programming you think in a declarative way. If you like that then that's alright and if you don't then that's alright too because there are plenty of traditional languages and machines themselves are not declarative.

>>38 none. you can learn math by programming in fact thats what most people end up doing.

>>1437 Thank you for your service.

You're a terrible person

>>1437 you're doing God's work. i salute you hikarin. i will look into doing this myself.

hikarin god

sup does emacs support my sound card yet????

>>1135 show them a picture of the NVIDIA logo to make them scared of broken drivers

Once I have been gifted a laptop with an NVIDIA GPU, and I had to break it on their heads

TRUCK ATTACK

Since we're on the subject, I've read somewhere that the guy who got in was worming inside for about a year, before nuking the site and doxing the mods. Does anyone know if this is true?

>>1181 he claimed it on sjak party. but no proof i wish he somehow got the whole DB. i want to see my bans from back in the day

>>1182 >the whole DB He said he wouldn't leak anything about the users I have seen some ban summaries be posted though?

>>1155 Really useful site for bug bounty hunters: https://lostsec.xyz/

My goal is to finish the CPTS path and pass the exam by the end of summer

omg digital love! cyberpunk!!!
