Okay, so I understand putting many hours of time and effort into learning programming languages, math, even command line scripting can be useful for getting a job. All these things can be named 'skills' because they provide marketable utility. But what usefulness is acquired by sinking many countless hours into learning some difficult to use distro like gentoo or other obscure hard to use linux distors? What real and useful marketable skills are gained from this?
>>74813505Yes but, couldn't you learn how to use linux for a job without spending hours and hours on gentoo?
>>74813540Going through the installation process and try to understand it will give you more confident when using linux, like you understand what's happening in your system. The install Gentoo meme isn't just a meme because Gentoo is hard to install, it's because if you could install Gentoo then you wouldn't need to make those stupid questions in the first place.You will also get more familiar with CLI which is really useful in both putting it in your resume and doing other tech stuff.Beside like I said, I find it fun and can spend hours on it.
>>74813339I started using gentoo in 2008 as a complete loonix newb as well as my first distro.it helped to just learn the file system structure, how to the whole Xorg ecosystem, how to setup basic stuff manually (e.g. network via wpa-suppliant, dns resolution, dhcp, file system table via fstab etc..), choose your init system: openrc > systemd, how to build your own kernel, know exactly which daemon starts where I know I need it, how to debug and fix errors by yourself or know how to ask the right question to find a solution, if you fuck it badly up how to use chroot to unfuck it?besides that if you don't globally unmask all unstable packages the distro will unironically never break (I had 1 emerge break after all those years). rather unmask specific packages if you need bleeding edge.I see arch users who feel the need to update their system every day which is probably the biggest meme. I rather check the changelog and update @world or a package if I want to have this specific update.thanks for reading my blogt. autist
>>74813698no
>>74813698so you're not any different than someone who can use linux commands for actual work. continue wasting your time and being a useless degenerate gentoo fag
Why aren't you using a microkernel OS, /g/? They are more stable and reliable not only at the conceptual level but also practical.
you can't do networking on a microkernel because the internet is huge and wouldn't fit in micro
>>74813440Tell me you use HelenOS /g/. You use HelenOS, right?
>>74813495>hurr durr just throw more resources at it
>microkernel>stable
>>74813440>Why aren't you using a microkernel OS, /g/?I've never ran into a problem that would be solved by using a microkernel.

What is the best 3ds model to get for homebrew, hacking and some light gayming. I am mostly looking to write demos for it.
>>74810270I got the older model of 3DS XL for $40 uwu
>>74810270Definitely the "New" model, if you're looking into homebrew.Instead of ~1.5 cores, you have access to ~2.5 cores (the New 3DS has 4 cores over 2, of which 0.5 of a core is always used for OS background tasks; however, the fourth core is also always reserved for face tracking), you also get twice the amount of memory and a 2MB L2 cache.Which specific one beyond that is up to personal preference - do you want a larger or smaller form factor, do you want 3D or not? If I were you, I would rule out the N2DSXL for demomaking so you can make stereoscopic demos - but keep in mind the GPU is far from powerful and utilizing 3D mode will limit how much you can do with it. If you go for the N3DSXL, mind the TN/IPS panel lottery - the IPS version has better viewing angles and nicer colors, but eats a bit more battery life and allegedly has more visible ghosting in 3D.As for hackability, every model is fine. You can't go wrong.
>>74814152>you also get twice the amount of memory and a 2MB L2 cache.Oh, and the cores themselves are clocked 3x faster. In essence, it leads to a massive CPU-bound performance improvement in practice. Other New 3DS-exclusive hardware features include a hardware video decoder unit and - allegedly - more dedicated VRAM, but I never verified that last one.
>>74810270Any New 3DS/2DS series device. The better CPU and RAM allow for SNES emulation that actually plays well, as well as the steaming thing.

What's the status on Linux in 2020? Is it finally ready to be preinstalled on computers without the buyer sending it back?
>>74811462Why would you want Linux preintalled? Anyone who wants to uses it anyway. No me comprehensivo.

why do code monkeys have profile pics such as pic related ?
What happens is some HR lady emails you. “You should really set your profile pic on blah blah account for blah blah blah reason” So you take your shit laptops webcam and take a pictures and not give a shit and upload it.

Which one makes more sense?
Depends on usagearrays at 0 makes it very clear the usage is just an offset into a table of elementsarrays at 1 makes sense for a an unordered collection, such that the only operation you might wish to perform on the array as a whole is to check its sizearrays starting wherever is only useful when dealing with sparseness and should probably just be implemented as a separate thingarrays starting at 4, going from 6 to 1 and then 3 to 5 before continuing are for practitioners of malbolge
>>74812817Lua can actually have arrays start at 0 because they are actually just (hash) tables like everything else in the language and don't even have to take an integer as the index. Member accessing as in s.m is literally just syntax sugar for s["m"].The only reason people use 1 indexed arrays as the default is because that's how the standard library was written.
>>74812817A generic sequence should have indices starting at 1.>muh offset muh offset dooooooooood!!!!!!1111First, learn what an abstraction is. Second, it only holds for random-access data structures such as arrays.When you put lists, trees, hashtables, etc. in the mix, it doesn't even reflect the actual underlying implementation.
