ETERNAL REMINDER THAT RED VS BLUE DID ANIME BETTER THAN RWBY

>Better characters
>Better animation, and more of it
>Better fights
>Better writing, plot, and dialogue
>Better worldbuilding
>Actual cinematography
>Actual lighting and depth in scenes
>Actual tension
>Actual humor

When RWBY's highway scene ends up way suckier than RvB's, you know you dun goofed.

Okay SpeedPlay vs SPD-SL style pedals

I can't get a clear reason on why one is better than the other, the LBS says I'm getting better performance on my SL's but I like the aesthetics of the SpeedPlay a lot more; and seeing Grand Tour riders use them makes me think that there has to be some race quality ones out there.

ipv6 is not being deployed because we dont need more ip addresses. Carrier grade NAT and a die off will ensure ipv4 will outlive us all.

If you are asking for more IP addresses you're asking the wrong question.

20% of humans still suffer from enteric diseases (ring worm, etc).

Why should we care about the adoption of a protocol when 256 children die of starvation every day?

It's more fun that way!

That's not true at all. IPv6 provides a LOT more than just new IP address spaces. The main reason some ISPs don't want to move to IPv6 isn't technical, really, its because in a world where you can do address-proxy anchoring and all your devices can have permanent prefixes you don't have to cough up extra for pointless "services" like a "static" IP address or "dynamic DNS" if you want to host things from your own computer. Everything gets simpler and that lets new ideas in, and this threatens some of the guys who have gotten fat, defensive and stale instead of lean, aggressive and innovative like they used to be.

Its part of what happens when you realize you have been successful somewhere one day and suddenly let your mindset shift from one of "creating success" to "avoiding failure". Its a totally different mindset and it ruins a lot of stuff. Slow IPv6 adoption, especially outside of the US, is due mainly to this. I'm in Japan and NTT and ISPs here charge outrageous fees for basic stuff like addressing and don't want to lose that because of a new addressing paradigm that obsoletes their paid service plans. (ISPs in Japan is a farce to begin with because there are no ISP's here at all -- NTT owns all the wires as a state communications monopoly, ISPs only exist to keep people employed on state subsidy and pretend there is an actual market, which there isn't.)

Blah blah blah...

tl;dr: OP is an uninformed faggot who never studied networking very hard (or at all).

hey /nerd/s,

What language are you in the process of learning or want to learn? I'm currently getting into scala, an imperative/functional hybrid that runs on the jvm. I mainly come from a java background, but the practice of using only immutable values is really pushing me. That plus the syntactic sugar makes it feel really awesome.

I'm learning Racket and Python right now.

As of the moment, I'm just doing Python online course because I think Python is the most practical. I find it to be so-so enjoyable. The syntax is simple, somewhat clean, but I don't like how it uses whitespace.

Racket: Seems like a really fun language where I can learn so much from it. I'm doing an online course and coursera and reading Picturing Programs. http://picturingprograms.com/

The Racket stuff is on the backburner since the Python course is going to end soon.


I have a question. I want to do web related work, ie websites, server related etc....

So far I've learned HTML5/CSS3, Javascript (going to learn Jquery) and going to learn some PHP as well.

So, what other languages should I learn for web related programming? I was thinking C# .....
>> No. 544
>>543
PHP is awful. Either use Ruby on Rails or Python with Django. C# or Java would probably work too, I guess, but you'll probably have an easier time with a scriptier language.

Also, learn some SQL and read about database design. Even if you don't use SQL directly, understanding databases is crucial to any sort of complex website.

I could learn to code well when I was 11 but did so so intermittently I basically have only 1-3 months expiriance by the time I'm 23 and a CS student.

how fucked up am I? or is it possible to catch up and get "fluent"?

If you start from first year then you should be fine.

CS isn't just about programming. The main focus is on algorithms, networking, databases, computer architecture and other types of shit. You don't need to have a lot of experience with programming to understand those concepts.

I also started programming when I was 11 and I also progressed terribly slow. When you're that young, you don't know what or where to learn and you waste a lot of time. It wasn't until I was around 14-15 that I started to really learn something.

Did you know that 90% of people in the UK access their online information through one source? Do you care?

Well. Think of it this way: We wouldn’t watch just one TV channel for our news. We certainly wouldn’t be happy with just one newspaper.

Most people get online, use whatever search box is there, and just click on whatever results they're given, without thinking about what they might be missing.

We're trying to spread the word about searching differently.

KDE 3.1.3 sure is fast as fuck in virtualbox. Why are the modern desktops so bloated? And the installer is so easy to use, I wish every modern distribution was this easy to install and use. Can we have a Linux nostalgia thread?

If you want a very lightweight system, you could try configuring an Openbox setup with a panel such as tint2. However, this will take some non-gui configuration to complete.

X11 in general was a bloated, yet all-enompassing system from its creation, with bits that no one uses from the 80s and 90s still being maintained (can you still make circular windows in X?) and with a design that is steadily starting to show its age. Even lightweight WMs are just standing on the hands of an obese giant. Combine this with DEs that follow Moore's Law to a tee, and have the current situation on the Linux Desktop.

As far as Desktop usage is concerned, I cannot wait until Wayland becomes a feasible option.

I love IceWM, although I don't use it currently (Fluxbox 4lyfe). Fedora is also my favourite distro, despite the regular releases (actually, I tend to like anything based on Redhat). Props to you. >>188
Try installing Slitaz: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slitaz

Alternatively, Debian with LXDE is an alternative to configuring Openbox with Tint2 or something yourself. It's heavier, yes, and it looks like ass, but it's the best of a bad lot of full DEs.
Godspeed.

I hate how LXDE's panel/menu doesn't allow commands (or arguments, whatever they're called) in the application shortcuts, such as "/usr/bin/firefox -safe-mode". I'd switch immediately from Xfce if it allowed that.

How do I program my site (PHP, HTML and javascript) so that it can automatically do stuff on other sites - like buy x item on Amazon, or edit an article on Wikipedia, based on actions on my site?
>> No. 533
What?
>> No. 534
>>532
You could either do it directly; by having your PHP program CURL a request to Amazon to buy the item just after you receive user input.

Or, you could have a cronjob set up to automatically change Wikipedia entries / buy things on amazon based on database variables, which you would change with your PHP front end.

You would want to do a lot of validation with each approach. Automated systems for buying things screams abuse potential.

Also, i'm not sure how feasible this is with Wikipedia CAPCHAs or Amazon payment APIs. Good luck, though.

You are to write a flowchart describing the process needed to count how many of each coin is in the jar (make amount up yourself) and also, total the value of coins in the jar. You have to also use fake coins (like Chuck-E-Cheese Tokens)

Assumptions
You are required to use the following variables in your solution:
 coinName
 coinValue
 totalAmount
 totalPennies
 totalNickels
 totalDimes
 totalQuarters

Valid coin names are:
 Penny
 Nickel

I would count the invalids instead of printing every time.
>> No. 495
Sounds good. My professor also pointed out that I'm not adding to the grand total. And not adding to the count for each coin, that I'm setting it to zero. I figured I would set it to zero because that's where it starts. Then it will count went the coins come out of the jar, but I guess that's not what he wants.

Hi /India/,

I'm looking for a program to capture everything on screen as screenshots. So far, every program I've used fails at games, only a black image is saved.

Can't you use a video capture device and take what you need from there when you're done?

Alternatively I think most games have a built in screenshot function if you google how to screenshot [game]. I think the default for steam is F12 too.

probably because you want it to copy from graphics card memory, but it is copying from ram, and the ram is zero;d so it has no picture. hense all black.
