the inputs are

and the expected outputs:

I really want to learn

because it tooks 2 weeks to finish this code. My level is introduction

Thank you in advance

[dapper niche]

I'll take a look in a few hours if no one else has gotten to it, yet. What are your outputs that are different from expected?

[hardy gate]

I can write the outputs. Your the first person to answer. Thank you

I bold the differences in my codes and the outputs in one test this outputs are different. If the content of this code is necessary I can send you the purpose of this code.

[fleet pilot]

This kinda doesn't make sense

Like the line where they hits, and then the sage gets clubs 3, spades, k, diamonds j

This is from the previous game

[timber kiln]

if anyone understands of eletric circuits could u pls explian how u get the equivalent resistance of this circuit (may not be english name sry im not english)

[fleet pilot]

I forget if this means if the switch is going to be on or not. I'm assuming it's going to be on.

So we can assume R1 is in series with R2 & R3, but R2 & R3 are in parallel: Req = R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

R3 isn't alone, as it has an inductor. so assuming angular frequency we turn it into R3_L = R3 + 2pi * f * L

The new equation will be R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3_L

I think this is right, but haven't touched physics in a while

[hardy gate]

Oh ı did not understand

[timber kiln]

hmm i see thanks

[fleet pilot]

Like how does the sage get those cards is the question

When you hit, you are supposed to get an additional card, not a new hand

[hardy gate]

yes you are right.

[dapper niche]

do you still need more help, Alice?

[craggy scroll]

Do someone know blender ?

I wanna know if its possible to make the camera taking all your screen

[hardy gate]

yes I did not find the mistake in code

[idle dew]

do somebody know how to sync tachiyomi?

Or how to buy apps on the aurora store?

[jolly seal]

hi im fairly new to c and c++ i wanted to know if there is any way to learn them both in parallel... the thing is i need to learn c to just score well on my university exams while i need c++ for the projects i actually wanna build... i do not have a ton of time but i see myself going back and fourth between learning c and then learning c++ so i end up wasting a lot of time and messing syntax up i mix c c++ and even python syntax up while programming 🥲

[red cairn]

Hi, I have a IBM thinkpad T60 and i´m trying to install arch or kali linux. But I have some kind of problem related with the kernel when I try to boot. Does anybody know any solution? In case not, How could I download older versions?

It's a T40 srry 😅

[dapper niche]

C++ is a superset of C. If you learn C++, you will know everything in C. You will just not know what C doesn't have that C++ has, if that makes sense.

[fleet pilot]

Update BIOS and maybe try disabling some non-essential hardware in BIOS. Don't know what the true issue.

If this doesn't work, use the arch or kali linux archive

[dapper niche]

great job making the differences bold. that really helps. Their expected output seems wrong if a king is worth 11 points. They have 3c Ks and Kc, that should equal 25 if a K is worth 11. In regular blackjack, a K is only worth 10, so I'm not sure what the rules are in this game.

In the second bolded part, it's hard to say. The cards are randomized through shuffling, but you're using a seed value of 0. If their code also uses the same seed, but perhaps on a different version of the python library or something, the randomness yield a different value.

[sick dew]

Resolveu? rs

[hardy gate]

Oh thanks, How can I fix this

[dapper niche]

do they give you rules for what you're supposed to do?

[hardy gate]

yes I can send you

[timber kiln]

ye ye i figured it out haha

[eager imp]

has anyone here ever made a PCB in KiCad?

[stable cobalt]

hello everyone!! can anyone help me to clear some doubts in blender to create virtual room

[thick spade]

Hello, had anyone ever tried doing pwn buffer overflow CTF's?? xc I cant get the flag on this one

[fickle fog]

yes

[meager skiff]

Everyone, I need your help. What actually happened to this laptop screen? Is there a clue??

[jolly wolf]

err the boot screen or the white line down the middle?

i get that screen on my laptop when i take out the ssd

[meager skiff]

Boot screen. Never mind with that white line lmao

[jolly wolf]

i would recommend takin it by someone to fix cos i think that screen has a bunch of different causes

might be ur drive is not connected properly

or the boot order is wrong

or the drive is corrupted

i am an art major so idk xd

if i had that screen i would

1. unscrew back of laptop, take out drive and plug it back it and try to make sure its atleast connected as best as it can
2. make sure boot order is correct so go into BIOS, go to boot order tab and make sure drive with os boot is the first one that boots

[graceful trail]

I have a terminal IBM model m atm, and I want it to work on my regular computers

does anyone know the best way to do that?

currently my soarer's converter connects just fine but my computer doesn't register any keystrokes or anything

I think what I need to do is swap the PCB with one designed for a personal computer (basically one that is PS/2) and then use a soarer's converter off of that to remap the keys bc the terminal board doesn't have a super key and has a couple keys in weird spots

if anyone has any suggestions or anything lemme know I want to figure it out

just dm me if you got something for me

[waxen hill]

Can someone help me get the MM, RDM, and RIM? Ill translate if necessary

[glacial charm]

does anyone know how to turn hard code into secure code in c programming?

ive been struggling for this QQ

[fleet pilot]

Build the code like your solving that case and then expand to include other cases

But I prefer you just start from the top and do it again like you're coding for multiple cases

[tacit flare]

can sum+= pow(numdigit,digit) be written in any easy/different form in c++ ?

[granite silo]

It's gonna be longer and even harder to do because you'll just use a for loop and do the pow function yourself

[tacit flare]

like we can write sum++ or sum= sum+1
in that way can we simplify it ?

[granite silo]

sum ++ is the most simplified way

[tacit flare]

sum = sum + pow(numdigit, digit ) is this correct ?

[granite silo]

and += means sum = sum + pow(numdigit,digit)

yess

[tacit flare]

okii thankssss

[granite silo]

No problem 😁

i have a 2016 ipad pro, it’s quite slow and dies in <4 hours. i was wondering if it was worth getting an e-reader or just sticking with the ipad. i use notion on my laptop (my main device) to organize my notes between devices (my pc and ipad) and mostly just use txt documents or word documents. however going into my a-levels i’m getting a lot of textbooks, some i’ll be using digitally, so would an e-reader be worth it?

[dapper niche]

[unborn quail]

Can someone recommend some graduation project idea thwt involves machine learning im a cs student and i want to open my mind on how things work

[brazen walrus]

1. Language modeling on mobile devices. 2. Trading with machine learning 3. Neural ordinary differential networks 4. Cloud infrastructure for machine learning services 5. Distributed training of neural networks 6. Data analysis with graphs. These are some research projects i did. I can give a small intro if you want to do something like this or similar

If you want increase your chances on the job market i recommend 4. Actually 2. is also good for this. If you want to do a good scientific research then the rest are good

[unborn quail]

so the thing is i have to get a project idea like a real life project and use different type of developments like app ,web and also it have to include machine learning

if for example i say i will work on planner or something simple like that it wont be accepted

[brazen walrus]

2. You can built a bot or an app that trades bitcoin on some demo account using machine learning models

[unborn quail]

ok i will research more about it and if i need help can i ask you?

[brazen walrus]

sure thing bro

[lofty hinge]

i need urgent help

is it better to use 2 operating system on single drive ??

i thought of using windows and linux on my ssd and keep hdd free ?

[robust blaze]

it's called dual-booting

[lofty hinge]

ya but should i use u drives or 1 should be better to boot them ??

like should i keep both of them in sdd or 1 in ssd and other in hdd ?

[robust blaze]

both in the ssd is fine

also there are a lot of youtube vis explain that

[lofty hinge]

can u please share 1 with me quick ?

that u have seen or know is legit

[robust blaze]

as I told you the keyword to find vids about is => dual-booting
write it on youtube

[lofty hinge]

ok ok thanks 👍

hi can anyone avalible for a python homework objection help?

[heavy garden]

elaborate your problem please

[hardy gate]

I did not understand the problem

[hardy gate]

the outputs does not match the teachers outputs

[heavy garden]

I sent you a DM about it.

[blissful matrix]

hey, currently have to learn network engineering for uni and there's something that I'm not sure about; does subnetting increase the amount of usable Hosts in an IPv4 network? I'm pretty sure it doesn't but wouldn't 192.168.0.128/24 refer to a different host than 192.168.0.128/16, even though they "share" the same adress? Or is subnetting just a concept that isn't even implemented in the IPv4-packages but rather used to visualize and direct the routing of packages?

[robust blaze]

No, subnetting does not increase the number of IP addresses. With every network (even subnets) there is one “address” that used to identify the network as a whole, then another is used for the broadcast address on that network.

Subnetting is a technique of dividing a single IP network into smaller subnetworks or subnets. This can help to reduce network traffic congestion, enhance local routing capabilities, and save IP addresses.

When subnetting is done, the number of usable hosts per subnet decreases while the number of subnets increases.

Regarding your question, 192.168.0.128/24 and 192.168.0.128/16 refer to different hosts because they have different subnet masks. The subnet mask determines which part of an IP address is the network portion and which part is the host portion

[blissful matrix]

Ok, I think I understand. Thank you a lot for the relatively easy explanation 👍

[finite bronze]

Should I learn Java or C# after Python?

[dapper niche]

what are your goals?

[finite bronze]

I want to learn programming. But the main reason I want to learn these two programming languages is to make games. I don't know which one to learn first.

[idle dew]

C# tends to be used in the Gaming space, especially with programs like Unity. Someone else I am sure can confirm or deny this 🙂

[dapper niche]

yes, 100% learn C# if you are interested in game development

I don't really see a reason to use Java in game development unless you have some platform specific need like you want to do something on Android in Java...

but Unity uses C# and can build to Android or iOS for you

[finite bronze]

Thanks, I will consider what you said.

[brazen walrus]

Been software engineer (job) since 2017, coding since 2015. I programmed in all of those languages.
I will try to give some advice, hope it helps 🙂

C# is game development or .NET tech stack (web apps)
.NET is not as popular when compared to Java/SpringBoot stack or Python stacks.
So I would consider C# only for game development.
C# is widely used in Unity engine, which powers most of indie games.
C++ is also very popular for game development (e.g. OpenGL library), especially for low-level hardcode stuff. It is also used in Unreal Engine, which powers a lot of AAA games.

Java and generally JVM languages (Kotlin, Scala) are for large-scaled enterprise applications (server backend).
Most of enterprise apps are jvm based.
Java and framework for it: SpringBoot is basically a gold standard for eterprise web services.
You will never be out of work, they are always required, but there is a chance you might not be doing a lot exciting stuff.

Kotlin (which is JVM based language and similar to java) is native language for Android applications. If you want to program android apps (not games), this is the language. Java is discouraged for Android apps, currently most native android apps are Kotlin based (though a lot of apps are now being written in Flutter framework which uses Dart I believe).

3. Python
   It can do most of stuff Java can, though slower.
   But it is easy and it can do machine learning (AI). So if you want to do that, python is natural choice.

If I wanted to do game development I would pick C# and Unity Engine.
If I want to do backend/AI stuff I would pick python.

If you have any questions, let me know)

[dapper niche]

I would disagree that C# is only for game development, at least in the United States, C# is very popular among businesses, especially in areas near Microsoft satellite shops. C# is especially unpopular among FAANG type places, but otherwise, it's pretty big.

with a lot of FAANG layoffs, the ratio of jobs has improved for C#,too

[brazen walrus]

True, it is popular as well, what I meant that I would not consider it since in my experience Java/Python is a better/more popular choice, especially since most of the stuff nowadays running on the cloud where Java/Python is extremely popular)
All major players (AWS, GCP and Azure) are heavy on Java/Python )

[dapper niche]

also, .NET is not the web tech stack, but maybe ASP.NET

Azure is a microsoft product...I'm sure they're heavily integrated with .NET

you can probably two click publish from visual studio into an Azure deployment

at the end of the day, it depends on what companies/industry you want to go into, and if it's gaming, like he said, then C# is 100% the answer (compared to Java)

[brazen walrus]

Yes, I use Azure at work, we use Python for all services (major medicine company).
Previously I used Java.
Overall, again, just my opinion)

[dapper niche]

as a side note, for these kinds of questions, this is a good resource

https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022#overview

[brazen walrus]

Good resource! I think they have for 2023 as well

https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/?utm_source=so-owned&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=dev-survey-results-2023&utm_content=survey-results

[dapper niche]

the 2023 survey shows 30.6% of developers use Java and 27.6% use C#. that's pretty close!

that's closer than I thought. I wonder if it will overtake Java any time soon

[brazen walrus]

I hope Python will outrun them both at some point, with AI hype and all 🙂

[dapper niche]

I personally really dislike working in Python and love working in C#, but everyone has their own preferences

[heavy garden]

I was a game developer so if you have questions shoot it. I used Unity.

[dapper niche]

have you ever launched a game on steam? have you worked on any multiplayer games? what genres?

[heavy garden]

I wasn't a PC game developer. I worked on multiplayer games. For Personal project I worked on an RTS game. For business FPS type

[heavy garden]

It reallly depends what part of the game industry you want to be. It also depends on company type too. Some companies are very much not professionalised. They do whatever when programming a game. And, some companies value recruiting specialists.

Game Developer I think is a very broad term. You can breakt it down to several more terms. Gameplay programmer is one of them. They widely work on scripting the gameplay. Game Engine Developer is it is what you hear. Tools Engineer (I also did this) is something you do to help the development environment. Graphics (If you are doing .shader but Unity migt not need this. Rather technical artist) Network Engineer (If the company is a bit big) sometimes even people specialized more on physics.

But, if there is no specialization in the company probably a game developer has idea in any of this field. As well as programs these. Therefore, being a game developer requires understanding of several other discipline if the targeted companies do not have specialized roles.

[finite bronze]

Would it be enough to know C# at first to use Unreal Engine and Unity? And do you have any suggestions about programming? What I should or shouldn't do?

[heavy garden]

To be able to use Unreal Engine, you need to study C++. Although, its not a pure version of C++, still it requires for you to understand and apply c++. So learn C++ for sure if you are going to go for Unreal Engine.

Unity on the other hand preferred by many studios since it uses C#. However, C# in Unity is following a bit different pattern than usual. Due to the fact that its own SDK and Monobehaviour-based programming.

What you should do is open and start grinding experience on these programs (up to your choice). Don't worry about your clean code and what you shouldn't do at first. Because to be able to understand what you shouldn't do you should understand what you are doing. Plus, there will be loads of questions in your mind about how to do stuff.

Once you've started, I can suggest you a Game Development Math channel where you can increase your skills about space geometry, matrices etc (You don't need this but it gives you flexibility when you are writing some scripts. Also, it gives you basic understanding of what you're dealing with.)

[finite bronze]

Yes that would be nice and thank you all again

[celest torrent]

Is rust good enough for building low latency systems in hft?

[dapper niche]

I won't need my multiplayer feature for quite some time, but I'd like to structure my implementation such that I won't need to recreate everything once I try to fit multiplayer in. Are there any resources that you would recommend? I'm an experienced C# programmer, but first time trying to write network multiplayer code and relative beginner to Unity.

[heavy garden]

Depends if you want to use unity netcode or sometning like mirror framework. But you might need to restructure some parts

However you can build on top of singleplayer.

Like another layer but uses multiplayer movements etc

[dapper niche]

yeah, you can think my model will be like FPS, so I am already thinking about what client is going to do hit detection and confirmation. It's low/no budget, so I can't have my own dedicated servers. I am thinking I will have to accept that my game will be easy to cheat in but would like to minimize the egregiousness it to some degree...like maybe allow a very generous range where they can claim they shot from and shot to, but not from across the map or something

[heavy garden]

You could be more experienced when it comes to designing multiplayer approach to be honest.

If it comes to systems and algorithms such as trigger systems due to object positions etc without using colliders(since it gets trigger) thats what I like

[dapper niche]

yeah, there's a game in my genre that is singleplayer. the community asks him for multiplayer often, but he says he can't do it without rearchitecting the whole game...I just don't want to get trapped in that position if possible

I should try to find some Unity discords to join, maybe 🙂

[heavy garden]

First, try to find a framework that you want to use. Let me send you netcode

https://unity.com/products/netcode

There are sample projects that you can find through this. Download and test how they are developed. Also: https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/?_ga=2.124046349.660531791.1686679138-2010455084.1636063859&_gac=1.180045654.1686756323.CjwKCAjwyqWkBhBMEiwAp2yUFoJ7lbuUglGwuka4opZKtKC4pJMMF9lWmZhaQ7SjkmVtRoFwdbopChoC07QQAvD_BwE

However, if you are going to use mirror:
https://github.com/MirrorNetworking/Mirror#made-with-mirror

[dapper niche]

thanks!

I need to research to figure out the pros/cons of each framework

reading the mirror docs, it seems like it should be able to handle what I need, though

[heavy garden]

Netcode could have had advantage too I haven'T c hecked thast out but Unity itself released it

[dapper niche]

after more research, fishnet has a lot of good reviews, too

[heavy garden]

Haven't heard that before

If you any questions about Unity hit me up

[dapper niche]

ty so much! 🙂

does anybody recommend a website or youtube channel to learn mips assembly? im lost in my computer architeture class ;-;

[dapper niche]

don't have a resource, just a tip...especially for MIPS, if you're lost, you need to start from the very first part that you don't know. Everything builds on top of each other, so it's going to be impossible or very difficult if you try to do things out of order

[amber topaz]

thanks for the tip @dapper niche

Anyone here familiar with i18n library, it is used to add multiple languages in websites

[somber jackal]

does anyone know what math is needed for gave dev? currently i’m only familiar with vectors

[dapper niche]

if you have a role where you need to do a lot of 3D space manipulation, then parts of linear algebra mostly. Very likely will want to know kinematics/physics as well.

https://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Game-Programming-Computer-Graphics/dp/1801077339

[somber jackal]

thank you so much!

[brazen walrus]

I worked with it a little bit (but really a little bit, I just translated some static texts in several languages and then displayed an icon which language to choose).

[celest torrent]

  return {
    userId,
    userName,
    category,
  };
}

export const rows = [
  createData("#876364", "ABC", "Manufacturer"),
  createData("#876364", "ABC", "Wholesaler"),
];
export const tableHead = ["User ID", "User Name", "Category"];

i m passing tableHead to a component, how can i add i18n to change lang of this data, or should i use other array of tableHead with different language and change it via state management?

[brazen walrus]

i did it with state management in vue using vuex. every time user chooses language using an icon it will update the value lang in vuex store. it will then automatically trigger components to reload because components are tied to data in store. Additionaly i also put it in browser store so it persists across browser restarts/reloads

there is also a way i believe to have a parameter to i118 which sets an a language based on ip of the user. So if user comes like from country in europe it will display language of that country if present

but i am not sure if all that is correct way, i am not a frontend dev. there are also other approaches like embedding language into url as path. But it did not work for me because i had Single Page Application

if you have questions on my implementation let me know 🙂

[celest torrent]

hm, thank you ill see what i can do

Is that free?

[brazen walrus]

it is free to deploy. but if users will use it and you will have traffic then yes you have to pay. But check aws free tier, maybe there are some yearly free quotas there)

yeah there is a free tier for it as well it seems)

250k queries for the first 12 months after sign up are free i believe

does anyone have tips on making your first game in unity? i want to try making a short rpg game but am struggling with finding good tutorials on youtube that actually explain the steps instead of just telling me what to do

[brazen walrus]

I am not a game dev, but this guy really helped me during my computer graphic class (it was 6 or 7 years ago though), I needed to create RPG game in Unity:
https://www.youtube.com/@awesometuts/featured.
He also has some courses on Udemy, which are like 10-15 bucks for 30h course.

I think this one is very popular as well: https://www.youtube.com/@Brackeys, but I don't know this channel

so i've been borrowing this laptop for a year from a friend and it's time that I will give it back to him, I wanted to put all my files to google drive so I can clear up all my files from this laptop. do you guys think it is fine to put it on my drive?

lol what do you guys think?

btw it's 86GB total and I currently have 2TB subscription but only a trial for a month lol.

[vital grove]

instead just save an image of it and then share that

[lapis perch]

wdym

[vital grove]

https://www.exterro.com/ftk-product-downloads/ftk-imager-version-4-7-1

this is used for forensics but im pretty sure itd work the same

or if ur gonna do al that i recommend using the api if possible

[lapis perch]

are you replying to a different person?

[lucid lava]

nah he's saying you to archive it to a .img file

[obtuse aspen]

What will happen to ur files after 2tb subscription. Will it jus disappear like poof

[lapis perch]

it doesnt, you wont be able to upload files and recieve emails that's it.

i decided to upload it lol

because it isn't really my important google account, it is for gaming stuffs and random accs

but im not sure if I could actually still recieve emails because I had been recieving it even after I reached the 15GB mark even before I started my trial subscription

im hoping i could still recieve so if there will be an emergency such as changing passwords id be able to do it.

Hey guys, do you know ressources to learn more about embedded systems ?

I already know GNU/Linux, I know programming via python (although I learnt more about algorithms and how programming works) and I was wondering if there's anything that I'm missing out on here

[lilac pond]

yo anybody know how to unlock phone without losing data, cause i forgot my pincode and i really want to have my pictures

[barren oar]

what type of phone is it ?

[brazen walrus]

You can upload it to aws s3 maybe. Check aws free tier to see if it will be free for 12 month.
You can also put it in aws S3 Glacier, it is even cheaper.
Check the prices thgouh

Or just buying external HDD...

Hello!
I am CS Student and my 3rd year is gonna start soon, I only have basic coding knowledge as of yet and I want to crack a decent internship, I just want to know what projects would you guys recommend building by integrating blockchain and ai together or by making use of the technologies separately. I am open to suggestions from everyone!
My target is to make at least 3 projects in a time frame of 5-6 months or less if possible, I am ready to put in the time even 10-12 hours a day. Just advise me on what the most efficient projects according to you are to display my knowledge of the fields.
As of now I have basic knowledge of blockchain and I am entirely new to ai, I know a lot of you might say that these are not domains that can be mastered in such a short time but I don't need to master them just yet, I just want to build some decent projects that I can include in my resume because as of now it is completely empty.

1. some live coding excercise. try leetcode. 2. Create a solid service on the cloud so you can present it live and put it on github. Or better 2 projects. What the service does is not that relevant, but putting some simple machine learning logic will win more points i think.

I got a job when i was in my first semester, i just showed them my github and projects and then did some live coding. Good luck!

[barren latch]

CS50 is a good introduction to CS, if you want to learn Python, go with CS50P, if you are more interested in Web Programmaing WITH python, js, etc then go with CS50W, or for CS in general just aim for CS50x and then you can choose what you want to do next

[wheat heart]

Anyone know any good resoures online for studying elecrical engineering

[dapper niche]

if you only have basic coding knowledge, I would say what's the point of trying to crack into AI and blockchain? Do you specifically want an internship in the AI/blockchain field? If not, you should focus on the fundamentals. Otherwise it's like trying to learn physics without having strong algebra skills. You'll be trying to learn two things at the same time when not knowing one thing will make learning the other that much more difficult. AI/blockchain is "fancy," but if I'm interviewing a newgrad, I'm going to rigorously test their fundamentals. Specific domain knowledge would just be a bonus.

any web developer here, im kinda dumb, and i need help

[dapper niche]

Depends on the person, their personality, their objectives, etc.

Quick personal opinion on the various languages you listed:

Python - Good for someone unsure if programming is right for them. It'll give you quick results with very low friction and frustration. Python is also heavily used in the industry, so chances are high that it'll be useful skills in the long run.

Java - Covers same use cases as Python, but in a structured way that's more "standard" or common in other languages. There's more boilerplate and slightly more friction than Python. This structure will transition you very naturally to C#, C++, JavaScript, etc.

C++ - Most modern programmers have probably skipped this. This is the highest friction language where it'll take a lot of work to create anything resembling software you're used to interacting with (aside from command line apps). This is a good starting point and target if you're already committed to being a professional programmer and won't give up AND you want to work in domains where having knowledge of lower level details will matter or industries that use C++ (high frequency trading, game development, etc.)

Win/mac doesn't matter too much unless you want to do development specific to that platform or iOS.

[brazen walrus]

I started with java. But depends what you want to do. If it is just general question i recommend starting with python. I think it topped java some years ago as most popular language. Generally python is suited for most things devs do, from backend to scripting. It also is very well suited for big data (pyspark/databricks) and machine learning (most ML libraries are python based). I even write cloud infrastructure with it using cdk. So in 2023 I would definitely pick python over any other language unless I have some specific needs. Ps: it is also the default language people use in leetcode style interviews because it is easier to use python for graph/array problems.

[terse barn]

what kind of coding do you want to do

[dapper niche]

Also, try not to get paralyzed trying to choose what language or tech to learn. it takes 1 week to 2 months to learn a piece of technology, generally speaking. If you work for 40 years, that's 480 months. So...2 months max out of 480 is nothing. It's the concepts that you learn from learning the tech that's important and will carry you forward in the future.

An experienced programmer can pick up the fundamentals of python in 1-7 days or so

[terse barn]

it's funny how cryptic error messages are because they're so technical and not plain english...but eventually they start making sense somehow

also, you can just call .Average() on the arrays instead of computing it yourself:

Any good book recommendation to understand programming preferably Python?

[glossy flax]

were you able to fix it? probably was something about python environments

[glossy flax]

Are you a beginner? Python is a low-level language, if you start programming I would recommend C or C++, that are high-level and you'd learn more key concepts. However, if you really want to start learning Python, the "Python Cookbook" is a good recommendation

[dapper niche]

that's the opposite of how things are usually phrased. "low level" means closer to hardware and exposes more details. both python and c/c++ are high level languages, but c/c++ are considered lower level.

[glossy flax]

omg, my bad, got confused right there 😅 you're actually right

[robust blaze]

the random library comes with python standard library
I don't use Pycharm as an IDE but I think it turned grey because you imported the library but never uses it in your code,

Hey guys I’m saving up this summer to get a semi-decent laptop. I’ve had my eye on rugged laptops (mostly for the look) are things like Panasonic any good for handling coding and programming apps?

[dapper niche]

Programming requires very, very little compute resources, generally speaking. There are a few exceptions, of course...like if you were working on a HUGE project that you acquired from somewhere else or game development or anything with a massive amount of data, etc. will get sluggish without enough compute.

You can probably do most college curriculums on a $50 computer

[brazen walrus]

I'd recommend used macbook like 1.5-2 years old ones (that ones that were returned immediately or was just sitting on demos/shelves), they are pretty cheap. It is unix based so commands are the same as linux.

[robust blaze]

To effectively perform computer programming, you would typically need a computer with the following specifications:

1. Processor (CPU): A fast and capable processor is essential for running programming tools and compiling code efficiently. Look for processors with multiple cores and high clock speeds, such as Intel Core i5 or i7, or AMD Ryzen 5 or 7.

2. Memory (RAM): Sufficient RAM is crucial for running programming environments, compilers, and multiple applications simultaneously. Aim for at least 8GB of RAM, but consider 16GB or more for complex projects or multitasking.

3. Storage: An SSD (Solid State Drive) is recommended for faster program loading and file access. It helps improve overall system responsiveness. Aim for at least 256GB of storage, but more is better if you work with large files or databases.

4. Graphics: While programming doesn't heavily rely on graphics, a dedicated graphics card can be beneficial for tasks like running virtual machines or GPU-accelerated programming. Look for cards like NVIDIA GeForce or AMD Radeon with at least 2GB of VRAM.

5. Display: A high-resolution display (Full HD or higher) provides more screen real estate for coding, debugging, and reading documentation.

some of my friends are struggling because They have a simple computer, Visual studio or android studio (both) need a good computer to run smoothly.

Any DevOps Engineer here? I have few questions

[wintry plover]

is there any way i can allign the grade and credit hours to a row like it shows in the top left example? i set up a ClassDetails() function to write it in the console using escape sequences and it works fine with the first 3 courses, but the last 2 course names are too long so it staggers them out of place. i know i could just type it out with Console.Write() but i want to make it adaptable for incase if i want to change the course names

[dapper niche]

https://www.google.com/search?q=c%23+console+align+columns&oq=c%23+console+align

if you want to adjust the columns based on the longest entered course name, you would find the maximum string length and use that as part of the configuration

int maxLength = courseNames.Max(c => c.Length)

something like that will probably do it

You don't necessarilly need all that hardware. Learn how to really use a computer first. Get Linux, get minimalist software, learn the gnu coreutils, learn bash, get rid of your bloated IDE and you might be suprised how fast "old" computers are.

[dapper niche]

yea, C++ was created back in the late 1970s...people were programming back then on what would be toasters today.

[robust blaze]

yes he can choose a lightweight text editor or integrated development environment (IDE) like Notepad++, Sublime Text, or Visual Studio Code.

focusing on learning programming languages that don't require significant processing power, such as Python, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. These languages can be used for web development, scripting, and basic software development.

He needs to avoid resource-intensive tasks like 3D game development, machine learning, or video processing, as these may require more powerful hardware.

there is also another way which is useing online coding platforms like Repl.com, Codecademy, or freeCodeCamp, which allow him to write and run code in his web browser without installing any software on his computer.

[twilit anchor]

Still haven't understood why exactly do people use that?

[hot fable]

it’s like the toyota of laptops

[brazen walrus]

I might try to help with e.g. infra! 🙂

[twilit anchor]

That really doesn't help me understand

[potent crystal]

yo, i'm currently learning OOP in python, and we've been doing getters and setters. but what I don't get is: what exactly does the getter do? all of the error-checking and defensive coding seems to happen in the setter, and i don't really get why the getter needs to return an attribute. this is probably a really dumb question ;)

[open solstice]

you would actually understand this better in a language like java or c

usually, when doing oop, we give variables private access, meaning we don't allow someone to do object.attribute and get the value of the attribute

so in that particular class you can't access to an attribute with object.attribute directly, but only using object.getAttribute()

we do it because it helps to protect the data

[dapper niche]

Generally speaking, getters and setters allow you to run extra operations before getting or setting the value. Perhaps when you set the value, you want to set something like "10000," but when you get it back, you want it in the form of "$10k" ... just a made up example.

[dapper niche]

some characteristics of why some people might like thinkpads or older thinkpads:

• function over form. instead of having things like unupgradable or repairable components to make things super thin to look good, the components do their jobs and can be replaced or upgraded as necessary.
• reliability -- thinkpads were/are developed for the business market, where reliability counts for more than flashiness that the consumer market products often make tradeoffs for.
• keyboard -- older thinkpads probably had the best laptop keyboards ever, personal preference of course.
• trackpoint -- some people like the trackpoint 🙂
• value -- since they are so reliable and repairable, cheaper used ones can be smart purchases.
• culture -- I think because of all these reasons, there's now an "image" for young thinkpad users where they end up expressing that it's more about their skills and what they can do rather than how fancy their equipment looks.

[twilit anchor]

That's more of an exterior look

What about what it offers as in functionality?

[dapper niche]

what's more of an exterior look?

can you elaborate?

an example of my own opinion is the 12" macbook. It was made super thin and looks cool, but as a result, the keyboard is awful

if you think of servicability and upgradability as part of functionality or not, I guess that's up to you

if my system is useless in the future because it doesn't have enough RAM to run my target application, I would say it's lost its functionality

also for "productivity," the older thinkpads have taller aspect ratios

[twilit anchor]

I heard that it was good for data encryption, for example.

[dapper niche]

I honestly don't know what you're talking about, not trying to be difficult. But hopefully I answered your question about why people might like thinkpads.

[potent crystal]

but why would one need two functions for the job? couldn't you format and error check all in the setter? thanks

[dapper niche]

you may want to store it in a different format compared to how you retrieve it

it's not really a common thing to do, so I wouldn't worry about it too much

[potent crystal]

okay

[dapper niche]

but I'm coming from the world of C#, maybe in python it's used more frequently? not sure

[potent crystal]

well it's in all of my problem sets T-T

and i'm not sure if i get it at all

[dapper niche]

oh yeah, academic stuff is all made up stuff, haha

[potent crystal]

but if i may ask one more question, could you help me understand what the getter does specifically and what the setter does specifically? thanks for your time

[dapper niche]

from a C# perspective, they don't "do" anything. They only allow you to write your own code that executes when they get called. For example, if you were to ask "what does a method do?" Well, methods don't do anything except what you define them to do

setters get called when you try to set the value of a property, and getters get called when you try to get the value of a property

what they "do" is whatever you define them to do

their key value is when they get invoked and they happen to pass the value as an argument when the setter is called so that you can interact with it

[potent crystal]

omg this was the one

Do you like it so far

This summer I’ve just been doing a bunch of try hack me, picoCTF, reading a ton of books and trying to learn Python and Linux

[glacial charm]

this is my sem 1 in fresh year

currently the hacking is not covered in the lecture yet

we are now learning maths, c programming and introduction to cyber security

[glacial charm]

ya i like it so far

do you learn programming in c?

[idle dew]

Thinkpads are also among the few computers that can be librebooted.

[feral raptor]

I haven’t started learning c programming yet just Python but I started reading a book called hacking the art of exploitation and they go a little bit in c programming

[glossy flax]

You'll most likely learn C in college. It has more specific knowledge and interesting relationships with the hardware of computers, since it can deal with more low-level structures such as memory usage. I'd suggest you to start learning the basics

There are courses that teach C++ or Java as well, but C is a good intro to both

Hi everyone, I'm trying to implement a Gradient Descent algorithm to determine the k (spring constant) and c (viscous friction coefficient) of a damped harmonic oscillator experiment. As you can see, the blue line fitted well with the orange data in the first picture, but the second one kinda sucked. I don't know much about the relationship between the number of iterations, learning rate and precision, but something is really off. Can someone help me?

[idle dew]

Brave. It's like chrome but much better in terms of privacy and usuability, as it's more customizable. Extensions: Use Vimium or Vimium C for vim bindings. OneTab is also a nice extension. Dark mode of course. Video Speed controller. Keepassxc browser for keepassxc integration.
Minimalist browsers you should try out: qutebrowser, vimb, browsh, w3m, links, lynx, elinks

[twilit anchor]

Literally never heard of those browsers before, wow, they all seem so interesting

I don't use Vim so Vimium C won't be required

Although, what's keepassxc?

[idle dew]

I don't have a lot of time rn gotta go speak latter sorry.

[twilit anchor]

Alright. Thanks for the help

[dapper niche]

onetab is actually the extension i'm trying to replace with my own. I want to add more keybinds, filtering, sorting, categorizing

[idle dew]

Im back. So chrome the browser is based on the open source chromium which is also the base of Brave. That means everything that works with chrome should work with brave, like chrome web extensions for instance. Keepassxc is a password manager. You should really get a password manager, for strong passwords is a security basic requirement. So as for the other browsers, as you don't use vim, no need to have a look at qutebrowser or vimb, as they are meant to be vim-like browsers. Browsh is a minimal browser in that it significantly diminishes bandwith usage by loading images as text (I mean it uses unicode colored characters to approximately render images). The other browsers are terminal browsers. w3m is really a pager, but it can work as a browser, getting the html for a page and paging it. Terminal browsers can be handy when sshed in a server, when your xorg server crashes or just as a minimal browser for instance. Plus I love the terminal.

[idle swan]

Arc if you're on macOS

https://thebrowser.company/

[celest torrent]

Still brave is best in my opinion

[idle dew]

That would actually interest me I was seeking to replace Onetab with something better too. I like having everything as files on my system. Are you working on an extension or something? Edit: just saw your previous message.

Do you know of a way of exporting all the tabs in the browser as a text file? I was thinking to use something similar to the bookmarking system Luke Smith uses with a little bit of bash.

Onetab misses easy ordering and categorising of lists of tabs in my opinion, so I switched to Better Onetab but it's full of garbage javascript and lags terribly. I want something simpler, with text because text is universal and something I can change and fiddle with however I like.

[twilit anchor]

For the password management, I got bitward

I find it really comfortable

[twilit anchor]

I'll definitely look in Brave and Browsh

I'm going to start studying Java and C++ in the summer so, I don't know if that will help with other browsers

In any way

I think I'll go with

Brave

[dapper niche]

in the past, what I had to do was read the local storage that OneTab was writing to and used my own script to process it and resave the file...an interim messy solution

[idle dew]

I was wondering, Brave has a restore previously opened tabs on launch feature, so surely that means it stores the opened tabs in a file somewhere. Maybe it could be possible to read from that and to change that file to whatever list of tabs I want to restore.

[dapper niche]

maybe try here? https://superuser.com/questions/662329/how-do-i-recover-tab-session-information-from-chrome-chromium

[twilit anchor]

@idle dew Was thinking, having a password manager on multiple devices wouldn't only increase the chances of it being accessible in case of hackings?

If a password manager only appears on the phone then if someone hacks into a computer, he wont have the password manage

If however appears on both phone and computer..

[dapper niche]

what you're talking about is encapsulated in the CIA triad (more devices = more availability/ease of use at a cost)

[twilit anchor]

Makes sense.

[brazen walrus]

It maybe that you overfitted model on the orange data. So the blue line is always the same because it was overtrained it on specific dataset. So when you try different dataset it does not work.
If you have overfitting the following can be applied:

• increase the amount of train data. Try various data so it generalize better.
• train less. The simple trick is that you need to stop training when evaluation metric (e.g. double square error, precision, or whatever metric you use) stops improving over several epochs.

This is general advice, of course there are other things you can do (google how to avoid overfitting)

when you start the process of installing it does a error

Lol ... just find out

It was an error with the HD permission

[brazen walrus]

Hey bro, sure 🙂
My specialization at college (starting from 3rd semester) was machine learning, data science and data engineering. I also worked 2.5 years as ML/MLOps engineer + have a cloud certification in machine learning from AWS.

It depends on what you want to do but this is some general advice:

1. For college: first, focus on the basics (bias/variance, gradient descent, optimizers etc.) and the data (Exploratory data analysis, Feature engineering). A lot of models are already pretrained nowadays -> anyone can use them by simple import. 95% of work is to process data before training, making sure there is no data leaks etc.
2. For career: Focus on the engineering part, a lot, especially cloud stuff. How to host a model, how to deploy it, how to automate retraining. + Do projects, like side projects.

Hope this helps a bit. If you have any questions let me know!

The program is fine, I use the same to prevent from laptop sleeping when uploading videos to youtube.
KeyBoard interrupt Error is when you interrupt process yourself. Like pressing Cmd/Ctrl + C.
Try to run your programms in isolated .venv or conda environments.

I use this:

import pyautogui
import time

SLEEP_SECONDS = 60
counter = 0
while True:
x, y = pyautogui.position()
pyautogui.moveTo(x, y)
time.sleep(SLEEP_SECONDS)
counter += 1
if counter >= 300:
exit(1)

[brazen walrus]

Yes.

1. Number one (most important): Free coursera course on ML (2013) from Andrew NG, it is also on youtube. It is basically a standartd course for basics of ML. He explains most math basics in very easy manner. This course is like hello world for ML, most people did it.

You can also take second part called Deep learning or Neural networks or something like that to understand gradient descent in neural networks.
PS: don't do any homework here in his courses, it is outdated, but basics is essential.

2. Udemy course on python + data science. To get understanding of how to implement all of that (I recommend Jose Portila). scikit learn, Numpy, matplotlib etc. For Deep learning learn PyTorch, not Tensorflow.

3. Build your projects (on the cloud, like AWS or Azure). You will learn the rest by doing (e.g. large Transformer models for example for generative AI, NLP etc.).
   It is essential that you learn that.

After that you are good to go for ml engineer, at least it was in my case some years ago.

[celest torrent]

Thank u, I saw the video of a YouTuber yesterday, he said similar things too

but first he suggested to learn about packages like numpy, pandas, and matplotlib to make the foundation
And after that I should start Andrew NG course

[brazen walrus]

No problemo.
PS:
At some point you will learn deep learning. Some advice to not waste your time:
-> don't bother to learn tensorflow/keras for deep learning, always use Pytorch, it is industry standard. Most model libraries like HuggingFace are hooked on Pytorch. Tensorflow/Keras was popular once, but PyTorch is now way more popular.

[celest torrent]

Okay

[brazen walrus]

flutter is cross-platform mobile development, primarily. It is also used for frontend development of websites, but very rarely.
react is one of the 3 biggest players (angular, react, vue) for frontend development.
If you meant "react native", then it is also cross-platform mobile development.

So depends what you want to do. For career in frontend development I would definitely suggest react. But if you want to build your own side project in mobile space then you can go with flutter.

[rich yoke]

Ok

[analog skiff]

@here yo, I have solved your problem? https://dailyfrontendproblem.com/ need a feedback.

[south bobcat]

yo does anybody know what ide/code editor james uses?

[gloomy agate]

Hello buds

Which laptop do you recommend? I'm going to use one to study/program.

[mystic karma]

Depends on your budget and program you will use

[analog skiff]

i think emacs

[brazen walrus]

a mac (I bought a used one, 1.5 y old, that was used only to displaying stuff, it was 45% of original price), it is unix based so most scripts work just as linux, but without overhead to do stuff manually. The only thing it does not do good is game development. But it is the best for developing most other stuff, in my opinion.

[gloomy agate]

Sure

I don't know how I'm going to program, I don't know anything yet but I'm going to learn hahah

I have a Windows and Arch Linux dual boot PC here

Thanks for the tips, should I get a Mac or a thinkpad

*I will take.

[lilac trout]

if you are not yet sure what you are going to get your hands into then i suggest buy some windows laptop. You will obviously have easy option to switch to linux in future which is much more robust and loved for programming.

Now about what laptop to get, well honestly I don't really use windows laptop but if someone asks me to suggest one, i'll probably go with MSI Katana GF66 if its available in your country.

About thinkpad however, don't hate me but I don't think it is very cost efficient, but that could be because the country I live in so eh
But if i had money, i would probably get a thinkpad because I like the aesthetic lol, also is quite powerful

[twilit anchor]

Hello there
In september I'll start CS in uni and I wanted to ask how should I setup my current desktop computer, if I should install Linux on a VM or whatever. Literally any tip to optimize my computer for CS, thanks in advance.

[idle dew]

I think he is an emacs user. but that's a operating system, not a code editor.

[deep hull]

congrats on starting ur computer science program. for me, i think u can start with operating System. While it ultimately depends on your personal preference and the requirements of your program, many CS students find it beneficial to have a Linux distribution installed. Linux offers a robust development environment and is widely used in the field. You can install it as your primary OS or use a virtual machine (VM) to run Linux alongside your existing operating system.

and also learn and use a version control system like Git. It will help you keep track of your code changes, collaborate with others, and manage your projects effectively. u can also create a GitHub or GitLab account to host your code repositories and showcase ur projects.

dont foget the backups and security. Regularly back up your important files and code repositories to prevent data loss. Consider using cloud storage services or external hard drives for backups. Additionally, install reliable antivirus software to keep your system protected.

[lilac trout]

emacs is an os sorta

I dont remember correctly but i think he uses arch linux in which he uses emacs for coding stuffs

[twilit anchor]

Will definitely install it as a VM, do you have a tutorial for that?

[twilit anchor]

Don't know what a git is, I got a github account though for future necessities. I also don't know what a repositoire is

[twilit anchor]

On that matter I was thinking of creating a Home Network Drive

And for the antivirus, what would you suggest?

[mild coyote]

do I really need to clean my laptop internally? or let it be, there is no issue with my lappy, but I haven't cleaned it internally ever since i bough it 2 years ago....I do clean it externally everyday....
any1 any advice?

[heavy garden]

Yes you need to clean inside of your laptop.

[deep hull]

sure, these are some of the tutorials infos i found online and from my friend.
firstly, visit the VirtualBox website (https://www.virtualbox.org/) and download the appropriate version for your operating system. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
Then, choose a Linux distribution that suits your needs. Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian are commonly recommended for beginners.
Visit the respective distribution's website and download the ISO file for the latest stable release.
Then, open VirtualBox and click on the "New" button to create a new virtual machine. Provide a name for your VM and select the type and version of the operating system (e.g., Linux, Ubuntu). Allocate the desired amount of RAM for the VM. A minimum of 2GB is recommended, but you can allocate more if your system has sufficient resources. Create a virtual hard disk or use an existing one. The recommended size for the virtual hard disk is 20-30GB to accommodate the operating system and additional software.
then youll have to configure VM Settings Select the newly created VM from the VirtualBox main window and click on the "Settings" button. In the "Storage" section, select the ISO file you downloaded earlier and attach it to the virtual CD/DVD drive.
In the "Display" section, increase the video memory to enhance the VM's graphical performance. Explore other settings as needed, such as network, shared folders, and USB support, to customize your VM

And start to install Linux on the VM Start the VM by selecting it from the VirtualBox main window and clicking on the "Start" button.
The VM will boot from the attached ISO file, and you can proceed with the Linux installation process. Follow the installation prompts, such as selecting the installation language, disk partitioning, username, and password.
LASTLY Configure the VM and Install Additional Software. Once the Linux installation is complete, you can customize the system settings, install updates, and additional software as needed. Set up networking, install development tools, and configure your preferred programming environments.
Rmb to consult the official VirtualBox documentation or online tutorials specific to your operating system if you encounter any issues during the setup process.

[twilit anchor]

Thank you SO MUCH for this.

[deep hull]

Git is like a time machine for your code. It helps you save different versions of your code as you make changes. You can go back in time to previous versions if needed. It also lets you work on different features without messing up the main code. Git makes it easier to collaborate with others and keep track of your code's history

[twilit anchor]

I was thinking of making a clean install of windows again but I'll just clean everything up.

[deep hull]

A repository, often called a "repo," is like a folder or storage space for your code. It's a place where you keep all your files and their history. The repository stores different versions of your code, allowing you to track changes, collaborate with others, and easily access previous versions if needed. It's like a central hub where you store and manage your code for a project.

[deep hull]

personally, im using kaspersky. but u can try avira, avast, bitdefender or norton. It's recommended to review the specific features and pricing of each option and choose one that best fits your needs.

[twilit anchor]

Thank you again for this.

[deep hull]

Rmb to back up your data before formatting the hard drive and have the necessary drivers and software ready for installation.

[twilit anchor]

I'm noting you could make a youtube video or essay on this, hehe

[deep hull]

HAHHAHA noo, im just collecting some useful information for u

[twilit anchor]

Thank you a lot, mind if I send you a friend request for future problems in case of need?

[deep hull]

i dont mind

[deep hull]

hmm If ur laptop is running fine without any performance or overheating issues, cleaning the internal components may not be necessary. However, if you notice problems, such as overheating or reduced performance, it's a good idea to clean the internal components to remove dust and improve airflow. If you're not confident in doing it yourself, seek professional help to avoid accidental damage.

[twilit anchor]

@deep hull should I use WinDirStat to clean up my computer?

[idle dew]

I have installed Ubuntu in VM but don't know how to use it. Although i have vs app in window, i don't have it in Ubuntu. What should I do next? I need to install all apps I need again?

[lilac trout]

yes you have to install apps separately in VM

[idle dew]

then i will
Thank you

[dapper niche]

mac/thinkpad as others said, but I will also add I'm a big fan of microsoft surface laptops because the aspect ratio of the screens is 3:2 instead of 16:9 or 16:10.

[autumn dragon]

It was recommended to me so I used it. I didn't find it extre~mely helpful since most of what was taking up the internal storage space was some chunky system stuff itself but - it did help me recognise some big Adobe apps that I didn't need and were filling up the space so I got rid of that. I'd say WinDirStat is good for some garage cleaning.

[twilit anchor]

I used it

Didn't quite help much

I wanted to delete garbage system files

[karmic kayak]

Hey does anyone use Neovim here??

[lilac trout]

you learn vim first

then switch to nvchad or any similar config

once you get used to it, you can build your own dotfiles

[karmic kayak]

Yeah you are right but I am already using neovim

I was just asking because I wanted help in configuring lsp in neovim

[lilac trout]

do you have Mason setup?

if not then you can have a look here https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim

if its already setup, do :Mason and install the preferred language server

[karmic kayak]

No I have the neuralnine thing setup

https://youtu.be/JWReY93Vl6g
This one

[lilac trout]

oh i have never seen anyone doing that kind of setup

Im not really sure but im guessing thats outdated?

Honestly if it is very confusing, you can just use already configured nvim like nvchad

[karmic kayak]

Okay I will try that

Thanks for your time and suggestion

[deep hull]

WinDirStat is a tool that helps you analyze disk usage on your computer. It visualizes how disk space is being used and helps you identify large files or folders. While it doesn't clean up your computer directly, it assists in identifying files you can delete or move to free up disk space.

[twilit anchor]

I also got an urgent problem
I need to finish the installation of the VM, but the VM won't actually turn on and apparently it's because the Virtualization Technology isn't turned on
To turn it on I have to access my BIOS and apparently, my BIOS, has a password enabled

ALT + R won't bring up the recovery password

So I'm locked out of the bios

I'm trying to search for another way to enable Virtualization Technology

[deep hull]

If you're unable to access your computer's BIOS due to a password, you can try using default passwords specific to your computer model. If that doesn't work, you can clear the CMOS by removing the CMOS battery from your computer's motherboard. If you're not comfortable doing this, contact your computer's manufacturer or a technician for assistance. They can provide a master password or guide you through the process of resetting the BIOS password.

[twilit anchor]

Removing the CMOS batter from the motherboard is too risky

Asking for assistance though will take too long

Don't think Asus will even acknowledge the problem

[deep hull]

what about try power off ur computer completely and disconnect it from the power source. then open the computer case and locate the CMOS jumper on the motherboard. The jumper is a small connector usually labeled "CLR_CMOS" or something similar. next, by moving the CMOS jumper from its default position (usually covering pins 1 and 2), you can reset the BIOS settings. and then leave the jumper in the new position for a few seconds and then move it back to its default position. lastly, close the computer case, reconnect the power source, and power on your computer.

[twilit anchor]

That is also really risky

A clean install of windows would do the job?

Or flashing the BIOS maybe?

[deep hull]

hmm i think performing a clean installation of Windows can help bypass the BIOS password. but It involves completely reinstalling Windows, which overwrites the existing operating system and its associated settings. so, remember that a clean installation erases all data on your computer, so back up important files first!! You'll need Windows installation media and a product key. Follow the instructions carefully during the installation process.

[twilit anchor]

Will do, thanks.

And sorry for disturbing.

[deep hull]

oohh flashing the BIOS is a potential solution to bypass the BIOS password. It involves updating the BIOS firmware with a new version provided by the manufacturer. BUTTT, it carries risks and can cause damage if not done correctly. so its better if u do ur research and follow specific instructions for your computer model, backup important data, use official firmware, and consider seeking professional help if unsure. Approach the process with caution due to potential risks involved.

[twilit anchor]

@deep hull researched a bit more, installing window again and flashing the BIOS WONT fix the problem

[deep hull]

hmm then i think it indicates that the password is likely stored in a different location or there may be additional security measures in place.

why dont u try to contact ur computer's manufacturer or a professional technician for further assistance.? bc attempting other methods or procedures without proper knowledge or expertise can lead to unintended consequences or even permanent damage to your computer.

[dapper niche]

There's basically no risk in trying to use jumpers to reset your BIOS. Why do you think it's risky?

I would argue that flashing the BIOS is even more risky, and yea, installing windows has nothing to do with bios configuration, so that won't work.

[twilit anchor]

For the simple fact I can't see the CMOS battery on the motherboard, out all of the clutter that there is

[dapper niche]

You don't need to see the battery, you only need to access the jumper. The motherboard manual will tell you where it is.

[twilit anchor]

CMOS Jumper, that's the name?

[dapper niche]

depends on the manufacturer, Dell even has a specific "password reset jumper"

yea #12

[twilit anchor]

And what should I do with it?

Do I just remove it and everything's done?

[dapper niche]

no, you need to connect the two pins

You need to connect the pins using a jumper block, you can borrow it from a different part of your motherboard if there is one, just make sure to put it in the same spot

[twilit anchor]

wtf

[dapper niche]

otherwise, you can connect it using something metal like a screwdriver or ballpoint pen tip

[twilit anchor]

I do see it

But I dont have a jumper block

[dapper niche]

once you connect it, probably just need to hold it for a few seconds and then it should be reset

[twilit anchor]

Just to summarize

I turn off the pc

Use a jumper block for one minute

Pull the block out

And I'm good to go?

[dapper niche]

I would add these steps, but that's just me...

[twilit anchor]

No no please, go ahead

Any help is appreciated

[dapper niche]

turn off the pc > unplug the power cable > press the power button a few times to help drain the power > resume the steps you indicated

[twilit anchor]

I just need to find a jumper block

[dapper niche]

or a screwdriver or anything metal

fork, knife, etc.

sounds scary, but maybe there's a youtube video showing it to put you more at ease

[twilit anchor]

nope

[dapper niche]

paperclip

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNX6-dkFey4

[twilit anchor]

What about this one?

[dapper niche]

I don't know what that is, but looks way too big?

just watch the video i linked, should be pretty straightforward

[twilit anchor]

I'm going to get the paperclip

Yep

[dapper niche]

you can also disconnect the power supply from the motherboard as another precaution, if you feel comfortable doing that

[twilit anchor]

I'll just turn the PSU off, detach the power cable

And do as you told me

[neat coral]

To add if anyone is using this method, please make sure your pc is completely off as well as the power supply switch is set to "OFF" to avoid any complications.

[twilit anchor]

Thanks everyone for the help! It worked

And to think just a paper clip would have worked

[dapper niche]

nice! yup, it's not as scary as you thought 🙂 the real question is, why did you steal someone's computer and not get their password first 😄

[twilit anchor]

hehehehe

To be honest I'm not understanding when the BIOS did decide to setup a password on its own..

[twilit anchor]

I'm wondering if one can access his virtual machine from remote, mobile included

[dapper niche]

you definitely can...how hard is it to configure? I don't know, but fundamentally, the network messages need to redirect from the host pc to the VM. I RDP and SSH to VMs all the time

[twilit anchor]

I love learning more about this, what's RDP and SSH?

[dapper niche]

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how-to-use-remote-desktop-5fe128d5-8fb1-7a23-3b8a-41e636865e8c

you can remotely use windows with the GUI and everything. you'll have to google ssh to get more details. When I use it, it's just like having a terminal open on the OS, no GUI

[twilit anchor]

[dapper niche]

#tech-related-help message

Think this was asked like 3 times this week lol

[glad reef]

thank youu so much

i am also interested in image processing but idk how to start it exactly , if someone can help me have a clear vision on that , it would be great

[steel acorn]

i can help.

[sick dew]

I solved it already haha, thx dude

[brazen walrus]

start by doing some image recognition tasks.
Use YOLO model. It is one of the best, very lightweight as well.
I once built signature detection model with YOLO and put it into a service, it is still used in the place where I used to work.

Just google it "YOLO model image recognition", plenty of resources, use the recent ones 🙂

[brazen walrus]

PS if you need just process some images and manipulate them in the form of multidimensional arrays/matrices use python-opencv (also ton of tutorials). It is an industry standart and works great with other libraries like numpy for matrix manipulations and Pillow for displaying images.

[glad reef]

thank youuu 🤝🏼

[rotund nebula]

ooh how is it like in hardware

[dapper niche]

how do you like being in the hardware industry

[dapper niche]

I'm not. I'm a software engineer, but I've built a lot of PCs in my life. I just took that picture from the internet to help someone reset their CMOS

[karmic kayak]

Hey guys do anyone of you know any projects that include cybersecurity and arduino

[unborn pine]

Apparently you can make firewalls and keyloggers w/ arduino

[rotund nebula]

cooollll what is knowledge prerequisites

[gusty fiber]

it would be complex as a first project, but i'm currently building a GPS Tracker/Connected alarm for my bike

i wasn't ok with every gps on the market because they send and keep every log of gps/alerts for 3 years on their server unencrypted and can give it to gov if asked

it have vibration detection, mouvement detection and crash detection as well as real time location

everything is encrypted on the arduino and decrypted on the device/app i built

with my server that connects both and store information, but totally encrypted and knows nothing about my location/trips

the relationship with cybersecurity would be encryption, you will learn a lot of how encryption works on low level and how to make effective encryption (that isn't just a MD5 hash), how sha really works and how encryption keys works and manage them effectively

[eager imp]

does anyone know how to use photoshop well

[magic turret]

anyone know where i could learn how to use arch 😭

[deep hull]

u can try Arch Wiki, https://wiki.archlinux.org/ . its an excellent source of information for Arch Linux. It provides comprehensive documentation on various topics related to installation, configuration, package management, and more. The Arch Wiki is highly regarded and often considered the go-to resource for Arch Linux users.
or
Arch Linux Installation Guide, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide
it provides step-by-step instructions for installing Arch Linux from scratch. It covers the installation process, partitioning, bootloader configuration, and initial system setup.
or
Arch Linux Forums https://bbs.archlinux.org/
its an active community where you can ask questions, seek guidance, and engage in discussions related to Arch Linux. It's a great place to connect with experienced Arch users and learn from their expertise.
or
u can just search up yt channels like "Chris Titus Tech," "DistroTube," or "The Urban Penguin" for Arch Linux-related content.
or
u can also use books and online guides available that focus on Arch Linux. like "Mastering Arch Linux" by Michael Plant and "Arch Linux Handbook: A Simple, Lightweight Linux Handbook" by Dusty Phillips

does anyone here know anything about downloading all the files from your google drive? my school email is about to be deleted and i need to back it up. i tried "google takeout" but it's not like it saves the files in an accessible format lmao. it also did not give me the option to download all my google docs
sooooo, i dont really know any way besides manually downloading each important file of mine from each google platform/product 🥲

[frosty sequoia]

Yes, I can help you with that. To download all your files from Google Drive, you can follow these steps:

Go to your Google Drive by visiting drive.google.com and sign in with your school email account.

Once you're in Google Drive, select all the files and folders you want to download. You can do this by holding down the "Shift" key on your keyboard and clicking on the first file, then scrolling to the last file and clicking on it. This will select all the files in between as well. Alternatively, you can use the "Ctrl" or "Cmd" key to select individual files.

Right-click on any of the selected files, and from the context menu, choose "Download." This will initiate the download of all the selected files and folders as a zip archive.

Google Drive will start preparing the files for download, and once it's ready, a download prompt will appear. Click on "Download" to save the zip file to your computer.

Depending on the size of your files and folders, it may take some time to complete the download. Once the download is finished, you can extract the contents of the zip file by right-clicking on it and selecting "Extract All" or using a compression software like 7-Zip or WinRAR.

Please note that if you have a large number of files or if your files are quite large in size, the download process may take a while. Additionally, keep in mind that some files may have specific formats that can't be easily accessed outside of Google's applications.

Ubuntu Vs Arch Linux which one is the best?

[deep hull]

depends on ur needs and preference.

Ubuntu: User-friendly, beginner-friendly, stable, extensive software availability, less customization.

Arch Linux: More advanced, highly customizable, rolling release model, requires more technical expertise, active community support.

Choose Ubuntu if you want an easy and stable experience. Choose Arch Linux if you prefer customization and have advanced technical skills.

[rigid island]

thank u ! :D

[frosty sequoia]

thx yes i'm begginer so i think i will choose ubuntu btw if i get experinced enough can i change to arch

[deep hull]

Yes, if you gain enough experience and feel comfortable with Linux systems, you can certainly change from Ubuntu to Arch Linux.
Keep in mind that Arch Linux follows a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach, requiring manual configuration and a good understanding of the Linux system components. It provides a minimalist base installation that allows you to build your system according to your specific needs.

Anyone got any ideas on how to make an entirely new gmail acc w/o providing any personal info? Eg; phone numbers

[agile granite]

ask a friend if he can create an account and in the phone number question if exists an skip button... When u recently created an account on gmail on your laptop it will ask for the phone number, but if someone didn't created an email in a long time he can probably skip the phone number

[marsh spindle]

So just use someone else’s phone number? Sos for the late reply

[dapper niche]

I think what they're saying is with a different computer and IP, you might not be forced to verify phone number. I don't know this is true, but that's how I interpret what was said.

1. make sure you edit the ~/.bashrc file that applies to your current user environment. You may be using a different configuration file, such as ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile. Check these files to see if any changes have been made there and edit them accordingly.

Run the echo $PS1 command to display the current value of the PS1 environment variable. Make sure that the PS1 entry you modified is present in the ~/.bashrc file and that it is not overwritten by other variables or scripts.

Restart the terminal (QTerminal) or shell session and check again that the new name is displayed in the shell prompt.

4. make sure that you use the syntax for PS1 correctly. Note that the part with the new name in parentheses may be surrounded by single quotes or double quotes. For example:

   ``bash
   PS1='[\u@\h MyName \W]$ '

   
   or
   
   ```bash
   PS1="[\u@\h MyName \W]\$ "
   

   Choose one of the two variants and make sure that you use the appropriate quotes in the ~/.bashrc file.

5. also check other configuration files, such as /etc/bash.bashrc, to see if any global shell prompt settings have been made there that might override the value of PS1. Edit these files accordingly to display the desired name in the shell prompt.

If you still have trouble changing the name in the shell prompt, it may be helpful to provide specific information about your system and the shell you are using so that I can help you further.

yes, i asked chat gpt something and he literally destroyed my shell

[unborn pine]

Is that your main OS with stuff on it or is it pretty new with nothing to save?

Maybe you should try reinstall it

If you want other propositions, maybe try the artixlinux reddit before.

That might be over my capacities.. Sorry

[idle dew]

hmmm

the question is can i enter bin bash without a terminal

[unborn pine]

try Crtl + Alt + F2

takes you to TTY2, maybe this would work

and you can try from F1 to F6

[idle dew]

ok i got one problem fixed

many more to go

gosh

Heyyyy a fellow Ubuntu enjoyer

I downloaded Linux a couple of days ago

[brazen walrus]

#tech-related-help message

[frosty sequoia]

nice man i downloaded it too in a vb its so fast and the ram usage is low what about you

[twilit anchor]

Vb?

Yeah I find it really nice

Only problem is compatibility with games

[frosty sequoia]

well i mainly use it for programming but for games there is no better than windows

[frosty sequoia]

virtual box its like running linux without changing the os

[twilit anchor]

Oh you mean virtual machine

[twilit anchor]

Still gotta understand why Linux is better for programming

[frosty sequoia]

for me i use it for the performance its way too fast to run code than windows (at least for my pc ) and also for the customisation

[frosty sequoia]

yes

[twilit anchor]

Oh yeah

Running programs. Installing packages

Are so fucking fast

It's impressive

[frosty sequoia]

yes fr

also windows use too damn ram the ram usage is over 55% but in linux its just 21%

and sometimes less

[twilit anchor]

That is incredible

Linux uses like

500mb of my ram

And leaves 15.5 available

Windows uses ALL OF IT

AND + apparently, windows has so much spyware

[frosty sequoia]

yeah lol

also its FREE while i had to pay for windows

[twilit anchor]

Hehe

Yeah

[frosty sequoia]

i heard about that too while its not in linux

but the hard part is there is ALOT of commands that i have to memorise its not that beginner friendly

[twilit anchor]

There's indeed

A learning curve

But learned that

You're gonna be efficient af

Me included

[frosty sequoia]

i hope so

[smoky nebula]

hey ...
anyone got any good/cool ideas to build a project using java , c , c++ or python
other than minigames and management systems (eg. tic-tac-toe or library management sys)

[unborn pine]

Here for Python there's this list that seems pretty diverse
https://hackr.io/blog/python-projects

The lists I found for other projects were more conventional (tic-tac-toe and management)

[dapper niche]

the commands just give you extra power. you don't need to use any of them to use linux as a normal OS. I put my tech illiterate relatives on Mint several years ago, and they didn't know the difference between windows and linux. Aside from gaming, there's also visual studio to consider and hardware pieces might not have drivers for linux.

[smoky nebula]

Ty

[frosty sequoia]

yeah true

[frosty sequoia]

wait u are saying learning c is a good intro to java ?(i was just scroling up and i saw your message)

[dapper niche]

learning Java is easier if you know C first. Learning C is easier if you know Java first, etc. C/C++/Java/C#/JavaScript, etc. are all C-family languages, so they have a lot in common.

[frosty sequoia]

best book i found is python crash course the third edition

[frosty sequoia]

i thought java was low level language

but i agree with u learning c as the first language cuz it makes high level languages easier

[dapper niche]

they're all high level languages, C/C++ slightly lower than Java

I think my point is different from your interpretation. My point is that learning ANY of those languages makes learning any of those other languages easier. It doesn't mean that there's a specific order that one needs to go through or that there is an ideal order.

[shadow stag]

Anybody have tips to make studying for the Comptia Network + more intereting?

[idle dew]

I am forgetting what this is called. I think it's called a directory in Python, what's it called in Java? I looked it up its saying hashmap;-;

[brazen walrus]

1. Official Documentation.

2. Book Fluent Python. The original book is about 8 years old, but a new edition came out last year I think.
   It is by far the best book on Python there is. It is huge, but basically a gold standard for Python engineers. The author is one of the most famous Python developers in the world and a Fellow of the Python Software Foundation.
   You don't even have to read the whole thing, just pick the chapters that interest you.

If it is a little complicated, you can start by any crash course 🙂

[brazen walrus]

Java is not low level because you don't have to manage memory yourself, there is a garbage collector that does that for you.
Also, its applications are pretty far away from low-level CPU stuff. Like nobody uses Java for robotics. It is mostly server backend code 🙂

[celest torrent]

//User function Template for Java

class Solution {
    int print2largest(int arr[], int n) {
        // code here
        int fmax = arr[0], smax = -1;
        for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
            if(arr[i] > fmax){
                smax = fmax;
                fmax = arr[i];
            }
           else if(arr[i] > smax && arr[i] < fmax){
                smax = arr[i];
            }
        }
        return smax;

    }
}

@wise sentinel this is another approach

[wise sentinel]

thanks bro

[frosty sequoia]

thx i thought it was hard and get a lot of hate but seems to be fun

[dapper niche]

Programming is the best kept secret. It's super fun, but no one knows unless they've done it. It also pays well to boot!

the catch is that doing it professionally may be very different than "what's fun"

[frosty sequoia]

i mean c was fun

but lets not talk about pointers

[crisp rover]

Thanks will check them out

[dapper niche]

sounds like you need some pointers on pointers 🙂

pointers are very obvious if you start with assembly programming

which is a true low level language

[frosty sequoia]

did you hear of brainf**k they say its harder than binary itself

[dapper niche]

yeah, i wouldn't say that or even compare it that way, but it's made to be confusing

guys i cleared my high school, and now i am going to apply for cs degree... but i started DSA, does anyone have any advise for me?

[brazen walrus]

You can solve these, a lof of algos are included: https://neetcode.io/practice

DSA also includes understanding of sorting algorithms, but for those you can use youtube.

I would also go through the implementation of hashmaps/stacks/deque/linkedlist/tries etc to understand how they work.

Has anyone here used react native (expo)

[fallen wing]

hi guys, i have a question related to whether should i buy windows or mac, ill be starting computer science engineering soon, i have NO clue

[obsidian lotus]

Ig it boils down to personal preference

[idle dew]

Neither. Get Linux.

[obsidian lotus]

Lol

Someone get bro the Linux starter pack

[idle dew]

based advice.

[obsidian lotus]

Plus apple stuff is pretty pricey for what they're offering

It doesn't really matter what os you pick personally only difference i noticed was one is more user friendly (windows) and the other is faster (mac) but that's just me

I haven't used Linux so I can't say anything about that

[frosty sequoia]

if u are starting cs get a thinkpad

[chilly ermine]

Anyone doing here Game Dev??
so yeah, Could you give me some general tips to start?
i'm fluent in HTML/CSS (learning Javascript)
but i know what my goal is i just don't know how to get there aka game making. Someone Got some tips?

[obsidian lotus]

So Linux

[dapper niche]

What role do you want to do in game dev? Sounds like you want to be an engineer? Two tech paths:

• Learn C++ and Unreal
• or Learn C# and Unity

Then, you'll want to pick up on some game design patterns or architecture, there's a lot of resources for that. If you want to learn game design as well...that's another large discipline to cover. All depends on what your goals are.

[dapper niche]

older intel based mac has the best compatibility -- you can run OSX to publish iOS apps, run windows, or run linux on a VM. I use visual studio a lot, so I dev on windows. I'm guessing your school will expect everyone to have a windows machine, so having a mac won't get you any advantage other than if you want to explore ios or mac development on your own.

[left umbra]

can someone help me out with deploying this react app it's failing in the build part
https://github.com/subuxd/ecommerce-cart

[brazen walrus]

Hi 🙂
Depends on what you are going to do, but if it is not game development, Mac OS is generally considered more developer friendly. It is a unix based OS, so most shell commands are the same as linux, but using mac is much more pleasant than linux.

Regarding more developer friendly experience: for example, on Windows there is no ssh utility for network connections, you have to use an external program called putty (as far as I remember). You are also stuck with Windows CMD or Powershell, which are different from UNIX systems, unless you use git-bash or something like that. Most servers are Linux (hence Unix) based, so using two different command line tools for local development and server development is an overhead.

In my experience, almost all the developers I have worked with have always chosen Mac (usually when you join a company they ask what laptop you will use, and it is usually mac or windows).

But in the end it is not that important, currently at my work I use a Windows laptop (I had no choice) and it is ok. And as already pointed out by other people, in your case it might be better to go with what your school generally uses.

[frosty sequoia]

mac is good but i really hate the animation

[frosty sequoia]

guys why the duck its skips the toppings question and it used to work but i added spaces and now this shit happens and even after redoing all of those

here is the code

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    char topping[24];
    int slices;
    int month,day,year;
    float cost;

    printf("how much does a pizza cost in your area?");
    printf("enter as $XX.XX)\n");
    scanf(" $%f",&cost);

    printf("what is your favorite one word pizza topping?\n");
    scanf("%s",topping);

    printf("how many slices of %s pizza",topping);
    printf("can you eat in one sitting?\n");
    scanf("%d",&slices);

    printf("what is today's date (enter it in xx/xx/xx format).\n)");
    scanf("%d/%d/%d",&day,&month,&year);

    printf("\n\n why not treat yourself to dinner on %d/%d/%d",day,month,year);
    printf("\n and have %d slices of %s pizza!\n",slices,topping);
    printf("it will only cost you $%.2f!\n\n\n",cost);

    return 0;
}

[neat jackal]

it's because of your indentation

you have to make sure you indent your code properly or else it will skip the line

[frosty sequoia]

so should i remove all the white spaces?

[neat jackal]

no

[neat jackal]

it's more of how you indent the code. not the spaces between the line

it matters how much you shift the lines to the right or left

[frosty sequoia]

the problem that it worked first time

but i added an \n in the 5th printf

maybe its the reason

nop its not

test it but still

[dapper niche]

it has nothing to do with indentation. C doesn't care about indentation at all.

what you need is a space in front of %s

scanf(" %s",topping);

the problem that you're experiencing is due to how input buffer is handled, you can google that.

[frosty sequoia]

nvm i figured it out

I FORGOT THE DAMN $ IN THE FIRST LINE WHEN THEY ASK ABOUT THE PRICE OF THE PIZZA SINCE I SHOULD WRITE IT IN $XX.XX FORMAT NOT JUST WRITING THE FLOATING POINT

99.99% of my c code problem came from forgetting ; at the end of the line or some dump things

[idle dew]

The C compiler doesn't care about indentation.

[twilit anchor]

Don't know if I should learn C or Python, but I think I'm going to go with C

How could I start learning C? Where do I find resources? What themes and bases should I look at?

10 or 6 hours videos don't count, they just explain the lexicon but they don't implement it very well

In april til may I studied C++, so I have a bit of knowledge in my brain, for programming

[dapper niche]

everyone has their own preferences on how to learn, but I just read the K&R classic cover to cover

[frosty sequoia]

for me it was hard to learn from that book due that i didn't have any prior knowledge other than scratch if that's count

[frosty sequoia]

yes learning c made high level languages like python and js easier

[frosty sequoia]

the easiest way to learn c is this book called
C Programming Absolute Beginner's Guide (3rd Edition)
it made it soo easy i still wonder to this day why ppl think c is hard

if u want i will send a pdf

[twilit anchor]

Yea daddy

[frosty sequoia]

ayo chill

also its just 280 pages dont freak out with that 600 the other 320 just retype the code he used earlier

[twilit anchor]

yes daddy

[frosty sequoia]

🤨

[idle dew]

sus

[dapper niche]

just gotta take it one page at a time

[dapper niche]

some people just have a hard time learning programming in general, it's not the language. But, people prob also think C is "hard" because it's difficult to create programs that resemble modern software that they use without knowing a lot of libraries to leverage.

[frosty sequoia]

well i still believe that hard concepts can be easier with the right tutor

[dapper niche]

yup, that goes with almost anything

but the expression "when the student is ready the teacher will appear" is worth thinking about, too

[frosty sequoia]

yes absolutely

hej! computer engineering vs IT, what should i go with for my basic diploma (am a total noob (high school junior w/o any computer background n all) n want broader exposure but lol idk much bout the fields except i find the content of the darknet diaries interesting) can smn please shed some light on dis?

[dapper niche]

hard to come up with a brief description that's accurate, but here's my attempt.

The two disciplines are almost completely unrelated. CE is very low level, detailed, mathematical, and precise. It's like building and designing a ship inside a bottle using a grain of sand at a time.

IT deals with large systems like coordinating ships passing through the panama canal or diagnosing why a ship's steering system isn't working, needs to be upgraded, or replaced. Or maybe adding a second engine system and creating a procedure to swap engines while the ship is running if one engine system needs to be turned off.

Of course, there are many, many different roles in these disciplines, so this is a vastly simplified description. I'm not familiar with darknet diaries, but a quick googling makes me believe it's more close to computer science.

For what it's worth, my focus is computer science.

[trim belfry]

im trying to fix my brothers desktop pc for him and it does not display or boot but the fans are spinning at full speed and the gpu light is on but nothing happens, any tips or help would be appreciated, thanks.

[storm hearth]

If all the fans are spinning loudly, make sure your CPU is connected right to the cooling system.
If the fans are spinning normally then it's okay.

Try putting the video cable your using into the GPU card slot, it won't display anything if you have it in the motherboard.
If that doesn't work check your input/settings on the monitor.

If that doesn't work, check your operating system or boot device.

These are some possible solutions.

[dapper niche]

remove every non essential component -- disk drive, mouse, keyboard, video card, ram, etc. reinstall 1 piece of ram and try it again with the monitor connected to the motherboard graphics port. See if the motherboard is outputting any error code that you can read on the motherboard itself.

[raw iris]

check for thinkpads closest to you, x200 series for example. Prepare to purchase a new ssd. Installation is very easy with old thinkpads. I‘d say don‘t spend too much money and time as long as you get started with programming and stick with it you‘ll be fine.

[wanton briar]

aight thanks :)

[raw iris]

If you aren‘t sure wether to get one or the other offer post it

[wanton briar]

ok!

[dapper niche]

yeah, just focus on something that has a clean keyboard for the most part. If you want to run a virtual machine, you'll need higher specs, but if you dual boot instead, it's fine.

I got this issue in a macbook air mid 2013 where after using the device for a while I notice there are some safari extensions that are suspicious because I didn’t download it and it crashes when I click on the app icon . I downloaded malwarebytes and “quarantined” the stuff they detected. After that the wifi isn’t working anymore even if it indicates that it is connected I tries every possible solution I could think of even reinstalling the os but i didn’t do the trick now I’m left off with no access to wifi or no mobile hotspot in my macbook

I tried safe boot but it didn’t connect to the internet. However, in mac os built in recovery system it successfully connect.

Is the OS clean? Like clean reinstall no external programs downloaded and stuff?
Is the os up to date? And are your date and time set correctly?
When you click on the wifi menu, can you see a menu item named Wi-Fi recommendations? If you can see it run it.
Is there any way you can try to connect it through cable? If so does it work?
You could also try to renew your IP address.

[frosty sequoia]

can someone explain why tf the output is different altough its literally the same damn code

here is my code

int main()
{   
    float num1,num2,result;
    char choice;
    do {
        printf("enter your first number to multiply:");
        scanf("%f",&num1);
        printf("enter your second number to multiply");
        scanf("%f",&num2);

        result=num1*num2;
        printf("%.2f times %.2f equals %.2f\n\n",num1,num2,result);
        printf("do you want to enter another pair of numbers ");
        printf("to multiply (Y/N):");
        if (choice=='n')
        {
            choice='N';
        }
    }while (choice !='N');
    return 0;
}```

here is the books code

 int main()
{
float num1, num2, result;
char choice;
do {
printf("Enter your first number to multiply: ");
scanf(" %f", &num1);
printf("Enter your second number to multiply: ");
scanf(" %f", &num2);
result = num1 * num2;
printf("%.2f times %.2f equals %.2f\n\n",
num1, num2, result);
printf("Do you want to enter another pair of numbers ");
printf("to multiply (Y/N): ");
scanf(" %c", &choice);
// If the user enters a lowercase n, this if statement will
// convert it to an N
if (choice == 'n')
{
choice = 'N';
}
} while (choice != 'N');
return 0;
}```

its litteraly the same although mine's output is "do you want to enter another pair of numbers to multiply (Y/N):enter your first number to multiply:"
and the book's output is just "do you want to enter another pair of numbers to multiply (Y/N):"

why

[idle dew]

I don't know anything about C so i don't know if it's the reason or not

[frosty sequoia]

i really appreciate it you are a life saver even chat gpt couldn't figure it out

you should look up this category of tools called "diff tool"

[frosty sequoia]

wait

[dapper niche]

it will compare two files and show you the differences

[frosty sequoia]

its not working fuck it

[dapper niche]

you also have " %f" instead of "%f"

[frosty sequoia]

i really hate c it cause mental ilnees

[dapper niche]

you just need to mature in your development processes

[frosty sequoia]

but c dont care about spaces

[dapper niche]

it's inside the quotation

it's a space inside a string literal, not inside syntax

by development process, I mean you need to write a very small snippet of code and test it

[frosty sequoia]

holly shit its working

[dapper niche]

if you write everything and then test it all at once, you won't know where you went wrong

[frosty sequoia]

bro thx

[dapper niche]

at least, it'll be harder to figure out where you went wrong

[frosty sequoia]

but why just adding space fix the problem

[dapper niche]

you'll need to level up your debugging processes

that's something you can ask chatgpt about

[frosty sequoia]

ok

[dapper niche]

but stop blaming the language and see how you can improve, that's my advice

[frosty sequoia]

hats off for fixing the problem

my eyes saw that there was a character difference

its almost a year

i didnt use c

[dapper niche]

i also mean that i could fix your code without knowing any C

that shows you that programming is more about fundamentals than language knowledge

[idle dew]

Ok

[frosty sequoia]

its about problem solving skill

[dapper niche]

beginners always ask "what language should I start with?" like it's the most important thing and they get stuck on it...but it doesn't really matter

I'm going off on a tangent, though 😄

[idle dew]

Lol

[dapper niche]

yea, being methodical and detail oriented is key

[frosty sequoia]

i think its a good idea to work on my debugging skill

[dapper niche]

it'll be critical in the future. writing your own code is EASY. imagine having a task in the workplace where you have 100,000 lines of code across thousands of different files and have to figure out what's causing the bug you're supposed to fix or where to add the features you need to add

1: you don't have the luxury of building it piece by piece and testing it in isolation.
2: you didn't write the code, so it's in a completely different style and thought pattern than how you brain works, so it's like reading a foreign language that you understand somewhat

writing something completely from scratch is < 1% of professional work, but it's like 99% of student work

[celest torrent]

Debugging someone's code, can become really difficult sometimes,
I guess to get rid of this, one should contribute to more open source projects 🙂

[dapper niche]

Also funny, but often mentioned is when people read their old code, they don't realize who wrote it and start complaining about how bad the code is and how hard it is to understand. They realize later that they wrote it, haha

Guys I need help, my sidebar which is category is overlapping my footer, I will give more images in dm

[frosty sequoia]

you can send images here

[torpid lance]

I fixed the issue , it’s the anti virus scanner overlap the os antivirus or sth it blocked the wifi for no reason at all and since I can run the wifi in the recovery utility mode then the only thing that is wrong is the disk with the software installed so I deleted that disk and start out fresh . Lesson learned

[unborn pine]

Good job!

[torpid lance]

I really have a love-hate relationship with it lmao

[brazen walrus]

Hm, but it does.
Picking a popular language that you can use for an idea or a career is better than picking something like the Lisp or Perl languages.
This is an exaggerated example, I know.
But relearning takes time. Even within the same ecosystem.

Scala is also a JVM with many similarities to Java, but it is very different from imperative Java. It takes at least a year to write good Scala code with pattern matching etc.

I agree with you though that this is not the most important question. I think it's better to ask what do I want to do instead of what kind of language do I want to use 🙂

hi everyone! I have an issue

shapes = input()
data = shapes.split(",N,")
data_split = []
numeric_data = []
total_width = []
total_width_2 = []

dl_drawn = False

for shape in data:
elements = shape.split(",")
data_split.append(elements)
print(data_split)

for tip in data_split:
if isinstance(tip, list):
for i in tip[0]:
if i[0] in ('E', 'R'):
height = int(i[1])
width = int(i[3])
total_width.append(width)
elif i[0] == 'S':
height = int(i[1])
width = height
total_width.append(width)
elif i[0] == 'V':
width = int(i[1])
height = (width + 1) // 2
total_width.append(width)
elif i[0] == 'T':
n = int(i[1])
width = 2 * n - 1
height = n
total_width.append(width)

for tip in data_split:
if isinstance(tip, list):
for i in tip[1]:
if i[0] in ('E', 'R'):
height = int(i[1])
width = int(i[3])
total_width_2.append(width)
elif i[0] == 'S':
height = int(i[1])
width = height
total_width_2.append(width)
elif i[0] == 'V':
width = int(i[1])
height = (width + 1) // 2
total_width_2.append(width)
elif i[0] == 'T':
n = int(i[1])
width = 2 * n - 1
height = n
total_width_2.append(width)

total_sum = sum(total_width)
total_sum_2 = sum(total_width_2)

for tip in data_split:
if 'DL' in tip and not dl_drawn:
if total_sum_2 > total_sum:
print("-" * (total_sum_2))
else:
print("-" * (total_sum))
dl_drawn = True

I have this input : T4,DL,R2x3,DL,N,N,O1,V5,T3

and heres output

I tried to draw '-'*(width)

and ı have to find the width however I confused because my data_split has 2 list inside. And I have to compare the sum of the values inside each list but I cannot do this in one for loop so I try to do for i in tip[0]: and for i in tip[1] but does not work

Can anyone help?

note: this is just a little part of an homework project in python

[gloomy lily]

Helop

Help

help

HEEEELP

does anyone know how to install a cpu cooler?

air cooles

HEEEEELP

!!!!!

I need help guys

help me

pls

[gloomy lily]

GUYS

I need help

pls

[frosty sequoia]

bro just go to yt

[gloomy lily]

thats where i came from

but my motherboard isweird

or im just stupid

[frosty sequoia]

nah dont be harsh on yourself

[unborn pine]

Gonna take a hard guess as the pictures aren't too obvious but imma say you fan support is too big for your card? But that's just based on the pictures with different angles

Could you just put the fan in just to see the size?

Even better just tell me, when you place the fan support is it touching things around your cpu?

[unborn pine]

Might be it, the second pc I have in my room just has a cpu fan that is too big if i was trying to get it in the 1st pc

[gloomy lily]

Nope

[unborn pine]

ok what's the black thing with screws around your cpu? Is it holding something ? that might be where you need to place your fan support screws

[gloomy lily]

I decided to use a worse cpu cooler, and give the better one to my friend

Thank you tho

[dapper niche]

yes, but people who are asking aren't asking between popular and unpopular languages. Plus, learning one language first doesn't lock them from others. Their questions are often about the order of languages that they learn. Learning Lisp is actually really useful so you can read and work with SICP. Lisp is very fast to learn the basic syntax completely. So yes, what languageS you know when you're about to enter the workforce is important, but the language that you start off with...not so much, as long as you don't choose something ridiculous, which I don't see anyone doing. But, I do see a ton of people in analysis paralysis while looking at their choices and end up not starting with anything.
