Woo, sleep! You miss so damn much of this thread... [QUOTE=DrTaxi;48168760]Why not just use something more common and plop a 9front VM on it? The "I have Plan 9 running on actual hardware" feeling?[/QUOTE] I have the hardware to spare. Simple as that. Also, I'm kind of in love with their design philosophy, especially since I read a guide on how to develop graphical applications: In your program's namespace (which is a fake union directory where each dependency you want is a file) you get three files: mouse, keyboard and buffer. You read from the mouse file to get the cursor position, you read from the keyboard file to get keypresses, and you write to the buffer file to draw stuff on the screen. Simple, right? But here's the thing: These three files are abstractions given to you by the window manager. That way, you can pretend to draw on the entire screen, and it'll just show up in a window. You can grab any input you'd like, and it's already filtered so there are no special cases to worry about.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48168810]Who was that guy we had in here about 2-3 years ago who tried to install Ubuntu in another partition and completely flattened his drive?[/QUOTE] I've done that exact thing twice. Once on my PS3, once on my PC. :v:
I accidentally wiped my windows partition years ago when I typed the wrong letter (eg sda instead of sdb) :suicide:
Hey, quick of a dumb question here. My 1TB hard drive is starting to get full due to my Steam games, and I'm thinking if would be worth it to get 2 identical 2TB hard drives, and set them up with a RAID configuration? I'm mostly thinking about this because I recently started working on creating maps for a server, and I honestly think some redundancy would be nice. I'm not sure though if I want to proceed, what RAID configuration would be suitable? My biggest requirement would be at least decent speeds I guess.

That's more important with mapping and programming than redundancy.
[QUOTE=garychencool;48175813]I'm not sure if I understand what you're saying with overlapping events and how Premiere Pro deletes them. [editline]11th July 2015[/editline] It's even more funny when clients think they can edit something better than you when they most likely have very little experience and only used Windows Movie Maker or iMovie. Or what's on their phone.[/QUOTE] i think i remember seeing an argument in favor of final cut pro x the day it came out because it was a "fresh start for pro editing" when in fact in that video they disclosed that they weren't a pro and had edited video for other people for money in IMOVIE [editline]11th July 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=garychencool;48176030]Apple is making too much money from iPhones and other products to give a shit about Final Cut anything anymore. I like using this a lot, the compatibility is amazing and Adobe made it work well. Have a photoshop document? No need to render/export as a PNG anymore and save it somewhere, just bring it into Premiere Pro and it's good to go! Need to edit, just click on it and Photoshop will open and the changes will reflect in Premiere Pro immediately! Although I'd export a PNG and save it (and a copy of the PSD anyways) onto the Graphics sub-folder in my master project folder. Premiere Pro will probably have a better time accessing a PNG rather than a PSD.[/QUOTE] i have a friend who runs a site/youtube/twitch -- i kind of do most of the complicated editing and each individual person does simple editing by themselves, everything is done in adobe. we're all using the same version and compatibility isn't anything we even worry about, it's amazing [editline]11th July 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Levelog;48169185]Fedora is great.

[QUOTE=benjgvps;48177683]Just throw the maps into Dropbox and keep them there. Or take regular backups and keep old revisions. That's more important with mapping and programming than redundancy.[/QUOTE] Well I'm running a server in my closet, with a 1 TB hard drive I pulled out a USB enclosure. I'm not sure if that one is reliable for permanent storage; one time when I tried to use that drive when it was still in its enclosure, the platter motor didn't start. 'Fixed' that by shaking it a bit.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;48178701]what the hell [code] You don't have enough money, brah. 0.07999999999992724[/code] i aint great at math but surely there's something weird going on? why would i get 80 decimal cases from those simple operations[/QUOTE] Welcome to computers. [editline]asdfgasd[/editline] What you have there is a rounding error. In JS, all numbers use [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_floating_point]IEEE floating point arithmetic[/url], and because there's limited precision, after a while the calculations spill over and you get this. You need to either ignore it or work around it. One common workaround when it comes to money is to use an integer for the whole dollars and another for the decimals, but since JavaScript doesn't have integers you're SOL.
[QUOTE=Teddybeer;48178725]var guess wrong, just replaced it with int double float or whatever.[/QUOTE] JS bro
But yeah Inacio, since you're using JS you'll need to floor the float after each operation. Any other language and you should use two ints instead. [url=http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3730019/why-not-use-double-or-float-to-represent-currency]Explanation as to why[/url].

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;48178760]from this thread: [url]http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1726630/javascript-formatting-number-with-exactly-two-decimals[/url] i got a function that rounds stuff: [code]unction round(value, exp) { if (typeof exp === 'undefined' || +exp === 0) return Math.round(value); value = +value; exp = +exp; if (isNaN(value) || !(typeof exp === 'number' && exp % 1 === 0)) return NaN; // Shift value = value.toString().split('e'); value = Math.round(+(value[0] + 'e' + (value[1] ? (+value[1] + exp) : exp))); // Shift back value = value.toString().split('e'); return +(value[0] + 'e' + (value[1] ? (+value[1] - exp) : -exp)); }[/code] i honestly don't understand how it works (yet? maybe i will one day?) but it does work beautifully: coding is terrifying[/QUOTE] That function is a catch-all to deal with JS's loose type system. It makes sure that both inputted values are actual numbers (and even tries to force them if not) and deals with scientific notation. You only need to use Math.floor().
Javascript: It's not worse than getting shot, but it's pretty close.
JavaScript was why I ended up not being a web developer. I'm OK at HTML and CSS but fuck JavaScript. Also that 640K RAM quote (It wasn't Bill Gates that said it either) maybe getting a reincarnation, as I myself am getting more confident to say that Core2Duo is getting close to all we will ever need for basic computing needs as the years roll by and the machines still manage to keep going just fine.

Honestly I don't mind working with JS for simple things. It's an easier language IMHO than C or any of the others, and it can be really useful for a lot of web design problems. Take the codeacademy JS course if you want to learn it, it's a useful one to know.
I want a PoE Core M device that big.
There has to be a major breakthrough for the C2D CPUs to lose their value I'd guess. Otherwise a C2D and a GTX9800 sounds like a good enough machine for low graphics still. The CPUs should still pack enough punch but as other processors get faster, optimising matters less and people get lazy. Still, I don't understand how WINE is like 20MB but android apps like Viber or Messenger take more space than that. Is that just bad management or bad coders or what. There was some msn client for Android that supported 5 other protocols too but was less than 2MB, yet a client for 1 protocol (as in Messenger or Viber or WhatsApp) takes tons of more space. Explain pls.
[QUOTE=Winner;48179868]i like working with js honestly css is the shit part of web dev, what a shitty fucking inconsistently implemented piece of poo[/QUOTE] Try working with templates in xaml, css is a godsend compared to templates.
Speaking of web dev even though this isn't the web dev thread it updates quicker. How can I make something happen on my webserver once every minute or whenever? I want to send some GET requests to a small IoT device every minute for data.
so is there any way to get a live background going in windows 8
[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48180434]so is there any way to get a live background going in windows 8[/QUOTE] Port in DreamScene from Vista Ultimate? [editline]11th July 2015[/editline] Unless you're talking about a Start screen live background, then that might be a problem.

I don't see a problem.

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48181157]I have a feeling its actually an Atom chip once it arrives. Looks flakey as hell.[/QUOTE] The brand, yes. It it actually [I]has[/I] those specs, it's a run-of-the-mill low-performance device. No reason to get it over a NUC, but if they're honest about it, it's not HORRIBLE. [editline]12th July 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Sand Castle;48181194]how would i do that[/QUOTE] Decompile it, fix all the errors and recompile. An easier way would be to use VLC, which can play videos as desktop backgrounds. You can supply all the settings through the command line, too, so that you can start a certain file when the computer boots.
[QUOTE=tratzzz;48179973]There has to be a major breakthrough for the C2D CPUs to lose their value I'd guess. Otherwise a C2D and a GTX9800 sounds like a good enough machine for low graphics still.[/QUOTE] Games are going to keep increasing their VRAM usage, because of consoles having 8GB of unified memory (for better or worse). I reckon there will be a spike in available GPU VRAM, now with AMD came out with HBM and Nvidia will probably get that going after someone manages to reverse-engineer how the TSVs are actually constructed. After that, we'll be at a peak where computational capability in general won't increase for a while, since memory is a massive factor. Who knows, maybe AMD will throw a massive amount of DRAM in the Zen architecture CPUs, to work as L3 cache, which might help with cache locality. I know Intel chips have DRAM on them already, for the GPU stuff, but I can't remember if that's used for anything else.
