They have little weird white gaps for me.
On the agree, you can see it in the top-right portion, and on the coin, top right and bottom left.

If you open the images in a new tab you can see them at a larger size. For some odd reason the outlines just randomly have gaps in them. It's a rather strange design decision.
To whomever designed this - This is not clever or smart, this is just fucking stupid.

what the fuck, fire whoever designed the agree symbol
not really but pls fix that's a terrible design decision for something that needs to be scaled down
As a PHP professional, some advice anyone else using PHP should heed:
Get on PHP7. Not 5, definitely not 4. That's basically where they started even caring about writing robust programs.
Be very careful about what libraries, frameworks and other cruft you add to your project. Don't blindly copy code from StackOverflow, or from the PHP documentation samples, or from comments underneath the PHP documentation samples.
Turn on every notice, warning and error system available to you. Make "runs with zero notices" an actual goal. It's more work up front but it saves time overall, with not having to hunt down strange bugs.
Set things up so you see any notices on the actual page output - along with some basic timing and memory usage figures, since optimization is also a good habit to get into. Nobody looks at log files until the problem is being noticed - if you see a little bar at the bottom of your screen that tells you there was a deprecated function warning, you'll fix it before it causes problems.
Note that E_NOTICES will warn you about undeclared variables. That is a good thing. Declare your fucking variables.
Use typed parameters and typed returns. They have that now! You can say a function takes an int, and if it gets fed anything other than an int, it throws an exception. And if your function is supposed to return a string and instead returns an array, it'll throw an exception. This catches so many bugs.
Yeah, that's kind of BS.
I'd also like optional strict typing. So I can declare a variable as an int and override the dynamic typing system, have it always cast to int (or error) on assign. Beyond correctness, that would also allow the compiler to optimize shit better.
Python has optional static type checking now, it's kind of neat. I haven't used it myself, but there's a decent amount of success stories from projects and companies using it.
Finally backed up the 25 year old seagate drive out of the epson lappy
Only took about 8 hours of fucking with things trying to get windows 98 disk decompression working and having to reinstall in japanese because I forgot about Shift_JIS
Totally worth it for the obscure-ass midis and early digital camera pictures though
That top comment though
the romanji is wrong
Imagine spelling wrongly the thing you're saying someone else did wrong.
Is there anyone here who does Network Engineering/Administration work? I'm currently in College getting my BS for Computer Information Services, but the further I go along in the degree the more I feel like its a waste of time, required C++, Javascript courses that move at a snail's pace, various courses that don't make sense to me from a networking perspective (Accounting?)
Is the degree really that big of a deal?
Is it possible to just get Certs and get into the field? I'd like to not waste my time and get experience while I'm still young.
Got into this stuff like a year ago and have a similarish degree
Having a degree is helpful for general advancement if you ever intend to get into management for the big bucks. Yes it sucks especially near the end, but schedule your classes well and pick professors carefully and you can learn a lot.
It is still very much more than possible to get into the field with only certs, but a degree is one thing that lets HR instantly filter out a lot of applicants when they have a massive mountain of applications to sort through
Scripting and programming in general is helpful to know, I found mobile app dev classes to be the most interesting
From an educational point of view, most degrees from most colleges are fucking worthless; you won't learn anything and you'll spend years crawling throughout dumbass classes that just waste your time. You could easily learn more from one year on the job.
From a practical point of view, depending on your field, degree, and luck, you're gonna need that degree just to get into interviews for entry level positions because employers are fucking stupid.
Thanks for the replies. It's frustrating to hear that but if it's the best choice in order to get those jobs I'll have to suck it up.
For clarification I don't hate programming, I find it enjoyable and think its an invaluable skill to have.
I definitely need to get better at programming. I enjoy doing it most of the time but my biggest problem is coming up with an idea of something to do. It's like "I want to make something, I just don't know what"
Find something you do daily, and then find a way to automate it, or part of it. Work is a good place to start. If you don't work, then just try doing something like pulling a bunch of data from the API of a game or app you use and do some statistical stuff with it or get creative.
That's some waste of time noob stuff. Here's something to keep you busy for the next 80 years: Make a regex engine, then use it to make a lexer generator, then use it to make an assembler, then make a C compiler that emits assembly for your own assembler, then use your C compiler to compile your own OS, then take it from there.
Alternatively, find something that's shit and write a better one.
Maybe take a leaf out of Glassboard's book and rewrite Windows.
Alternatively alternative, go find some course codes for some higher level programming courses at a university and look at the assignments that some professor probably reuses on their website every semester.
Or an alternative alternative alternative is to go to the dark side and learn game hacking which gets you into some nitty gritty stuff right off the bat.
I tried to solve a problem with regex, now I have two problems.
Well this guy lasted long, permabanned by Garry.

it was a quality post too

Hurray Vega. Reloaded my ancient W10 install on this machine too.
Those were some... "interesting" views, to say the least
Obnoxious, you mean? Yes, work to be the best that you can be but you dont have to be a pretentious dick about it.
uh oh
Nvidia's not doing anything until they clear out stock.
Standard shipping is 6-8 weeks, all GDDR types are on backorder with undefined lead times, assembly times, processing...
If the rumored buyback with the Taiwanese OEM is lower-end parts, then it's doable on short term, you can move low-end way easier.
Anyone here insane enough to actually be using clangd/vim-lsp? I can't get this trash to find my header files and I have no idea what to do D:
Since the mechanical keyboard megathread hasn't been posted in for a long ass time now figured I'd throw this in here.
Picked myself up a K70 RGB Mk. 1 for a decent discount today via price match at Best Buy. Since the Mk. 2's just released they dropped the price of the Mk. 1' to about 120 USD.
I'll be perfectly honest, I've always been a blue switch fanboy. But dear god these MX Speed switches are so nice. Wicked light to use compared to blue's IMO. Worth every penny for damn sure. I've been using a Corsair Strafe RGB at work with the MX Silent switches on it and a shitty little Rosewill RGB board at the house so it's nice to have a good quality keyboard at the house now for gaming on and just general usage. This is also the first board I can somewhat touchtype on, so that's a benefit too.
Going from the AT101W that I had, to the Razer Blackwidow, to a Model M, and now to my Corsair duo it definitely is insane how much money has been put into the mechanical keyboard market in recent years. If you've been considering getting one of these but the price kept you from doing it, grab one now.
