What're you reading? What career are you aiming for?Previous thread: >>79865426Guides:Complete self taught pathway: https://teachyourselfcs.com/Structured pathway: https://github.com/ossu/computer-scienceAI focused pathway (warning: functional programming ahead): https://learnaifromscratch.github.io/The first link recommends SICP as an entry, but if you want a gentler introduction to the world of computing, I'd recommend How to Design Programs. Before you complain, read:http://cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Papers/Published/fffk-htdp-vs-sicp-journal/Math for CS:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14868480/math-for-computer-sciencehttps://4chan-science.fandom.com/wiki/MathematicsComment too long.

I think main issue with recommending SICP is that it supposed to be a book for freshmens which are supposedly good at high-school math and had some experience programming in some imperative language./g/man on the other hand is computer literate at best.
>>79880963Because understanding how to program without understanding the underlying concepts leads to easily offshored web devs.>By the way, you're badically saying that CS stagnating and it's definitely isn't.I said nothing of the sort, nor did I say anything that could be construed as such. CS is applied math. Much like its parent subject, the underlying topic only sees major recent change at the highest levels of study.If saying that Darwinian natural selection is still our best explanation of how different species arrived saying that the field of biology has stagnated? No. But in most places undergrads aren't going to be allowed in the same room as a bleeding edge gene sequencer.If you want to learn computer science, learn computer science. If you want to be an easily replaced code monkey, do some tutorials and ignore the theory. The two don't really have any bearing on each other.If you disagree, please explain how modern languages and application frameworks impact complexity analysis. Do we use big C analysis instead of big O when coding in C#? What new fundamental data types did Ruby on Rails or Django bring us?As for converting anyone to my point of view, I'm not trying to. Accept reality or don't. It's your career.

Seriously, what vim has that Vstudio or Notepad++ doesn't do.The "I don't have to move my hand" is a stupid argument.

i need to pick one for my greenfield project.1) which is more performant?2) which is less bloat?3) which is easier to learn and work with?
>>79881814if this is for web> react > flutter (has more stuff out of the box but with react you will end up having to import a bunch of bloat, even the material libraries if you want the normie look) also facebook vs google pick your poison > react faster to learn because js, but having something like dart also protects you from doing dumb stuff.
>>79882043thanks. i was kinda going for "write once for all devices" kinda thing cuz i wont have much budget or time. i think ill stick with react since it seems to have a bigger community around it.

It took AMD nearly a YEAR to release drivers that work even remotely correctly for these cards.Defend this.
>>79880319Yes they are? RDNA 1 gained support at the same time as RDNA 2.
>>79874830I only had AMD cards before the GTX 1000 series, but after AMD fucked up and released some drivers that made the fans of some cards not work, I stopped looking at their cards. Their drivers have always been full of bugs and always take them years to iron them.
>>79873373My 5700XT has been working perfectly with no driver issues since launch beyond slight issues with Call of Duty MW. Idk what's been breaking on your side.
The secret to getting AMD drivers to work perfectly is to unpack the driver .exe and manually install only the video card driver. You're welcome.
>>79882044I don't know what a .exe is or does sorry.

Discuss brain computer interfaces. Will you get Valve's consumer-grade gayming ones for their index when they come out? Any particular games, experiences, or applications that you want to come out of BCIs?
So is this suppose to be a brain VR headset or just a controller that you can control with your mind only?
>>79881701>So is this suppose to be a brain VR headset or just a controller that you can control with your mind only?why would you think that
You know its going to have shit build quality
>>79881701There's room for expansion, but valve's initial version is a means for the game to gather data about your response to it, and adjust accordingly. For instance, a bored player can have their game difficulty increased.
>>79881578I agree. That'd be the bare minimum for me to consider using any kind of BCI, even one that only reads data.

What do you think about Wayland? I'd like it to come on OpenBSD, looks like a perfect match.If you're curious, give Sway/Hikari/Wio a try.https://swaywm.org/ (i3)https://hikari.acmelabs.space/ (cwm)https://wio-project.org/ (rio)
>>79880596>me = everybodyfuck off nocoder
>>79880557I hope so. Still waiting for it to be stable and usable. Please, Wayland devs, stop shilling and go fix its problems. If it's the desktop implementation that's the problem, help them fix their problems. You're not going to kill Xorg by begging people to accept a problematic solution.
>>79874882>>79874960I X11 forward individual apps from other machines very frequently. Virt-Manager, for example. It mostly works just fine. Some newer GTK+ apps are faulty, but apart from that, no issues.>>79875075X11 was explicitly designed for network transparency. I don't know what this "zero-copy" buzzword is meant to mean, but X11 doesn't "shit pixels over the wire" - that's what Wayland's remoting "solution" does. X11 sends over the rendering commands so it's much more efficient.While we are at it, destandardising the desktop so much that severe incompatibilities between apps on different compositors are emerging - that's insanity and a terrible setback.
>>79881677>X11 sends over the rendering commands so it's much more efficient.>doesn't realize everything except fucking athena widgets draws clientside because X drawing commands were way too limited
>>79881765>doesn't realize everything except fucking athena widgets draws clientside because X drawing commands were way too limitedNot true. You can upload bitmaps to the server and use them multiple times. The Xrender extension uses that for glyphs, but could be used for anything (e.g. themed widgets).Also Xrender does some of the drawing server side. Most prominently composition with alpha channel and anti aliased drawing of triangles and quads.If you use something like Cairo for drawing which works very well together with Xrender only the pathtracing and some esoteric fill commands are done client side.
How do a trackpoint in thinkpads work?I've always seen them on these laptops but I've never actually used it and I don't know how they work. Can someone explain it to me?
it measures how much force is being put on it and what dirction. you want to start with the sensitivity low and increase as you get better.
>>79881725You lay your hand on the keyboard with your index finger on the trackpoint and thumb on the mouse buttons below the space bar. Then apply pressure with your index finger in the direction you want to move the mouse (it takes a bit of practice to get used to how much pressure you should apply. Left and right buttons work like a regular mouse, you can middle click by pressing the middle button or scroll by holding it and putting pressure on the trackpoint in the direction you want to scroll. This whole time your hand has been over the keyboard ready to easily take a typing position so you can switch between pointing and typing easily.

linux program to control what binaries access internet?i just want to control what program are calling homepic related, something like LittleSnitch for macos, every time a binary tries to access the internet you just choose always, this instance, or never
>>79881736– I wish Linux provided me more control over applications– Linux IS PERFECT AS IS. Your applications are SHIT. You need to use different applications!You're literally arguing against having more control. I don't want to sandbox the apps, I just want to choose when and how they access the web.
>>79881807the only use for little snitch is making sure your cracked version of photoshop doesn't phone home. Or Sublime Text that you've stolen. Simple solution: don't use cracked shitty proprietary software. This is possible on Linux. Stop bringing your baggage with you from shitty operating systems.
>>79881904How can I stop specific apps from accessing the net when I'm on my mobile data, but allow them elsewhere?
>>79881934
>>79881968Missing the point. I am often doing live audio streaming on data and I want to prioritize this stream only and block most everything else. Also this is just a Gnome flag and needs cooperation from the application. It's like data saver mode in Android. It's up to the app to define what "data saver" means.
