[idle dew]

should i update from windows 10 to 11?

[regal path]

no

windows 11 is windows 10 but worse

[long crypt]

what would be a good coding begginer notebook?

[warped oxide]

depends on if everything you use will run on windows 11. I prefer windows 10 but I know once it no longer gets security updates (October 14, 2025) I’ll have to update to 11

[dapper niche]

you would need win 11 if you're on a 12th gen intel cpu or want to do auto hdr

Hi, im starting to learn coding and i have a problem with the Terminal part of Visual Studio. Previously i tried to make a Chat GPT bot in telegram following tips from a YT vid (without having any actual idea about coding), which involved opening files available in GitHub into the Visual Studio and doing certain coding, which i failed to accurately follow the rules and eventually weren't able to do anything and gave up. But now that I've downloaded the app again and try to practice coding, there seem to be something wrong with the Terminal. apparently it's supposed to start with $ but instead has other things going on which is related to the files i previously opened in the app... help please?

PS C:\Users\HP\Documents\GitHub\openai-node>

[slender loom]

is the message that automatically appears when i open the termianl

[long crypt]

I think i will use windows 11, i am going to probably change it to another operational system later on but as i always used windows i think i'll use it as a starter

[regal path]

this is what I dislike about MS. My pc's processor is somehow not good enough for windows 11 (it's only four years old) so when they stop supporting windows 10 I wont be able to upgrade

I understand that it's difficult to support updates for both windows 10 and 11, but why lie to me about the minimum requirements? My laptop has a worse processor than the computer I'm on right now and it ran windows 11 just fine.

[dapper niche]

the minimum requirements are not based on performance, but security. (is probably what is going on in your case) You're talking about TPM, so it's not about the processor being "better" or not, but whether it has TPM. I saw some articles that there is a way to bypass TPM, but I don't know whether it has any harmful side effects if you do it, etc.

[night osprey]

yeah my teacher is quite old and her teachings are often old fashioned... we even have to write the exams on paper (the code etc.)

[wraith rampart]

I am new to programming.
I was trying to learn C for a class next semester. I was trying to build a test project to see if I could create a project with makefile. It would give me the write value when I tried running it on the terminal but when I run the main file on vscode, it says undefined reference to the function.
I don't know what to do next.
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

[idle dew]

I have an advice for you

You could look up to Deitel brothers' books about C and C++

[wraith rampart]

Okay. I'm looking through it. Thanks.

hi guys, did enyone know were can i lears how to code an arduino digispark??

[blazing plover]

Does anybody have a good recommendation for laptop (under 60k ) ? I need it mostly for coding, college stuff and for little bit of designing too .

[open solstice]

wdym 60k

[vapid dock]

keep windows 10 until oct 2025

[viscid stag]

60k rs i guess or 720$

[idle dew]

ideapad is good

there was this i7 version on sale few days back

[frosty sequoia]

use arch linux its better

[idle dew]

isint arch just more complicated?

[frosty sequoia]

then just use something way simple like mint especially for ones who just came from windows its pretty similar and lightweight (almost if not all linux distro's are light weight even on some 10 years old pc from 2014)

[frosty sequoia]

you can just use chat gpt just tell him what the output in the terminal and he will help you

[frosty sequoia]

use that linux mint if you are no longer using windows but only if you are not familiar with terminal commands but if you are you can just use something like (debian,endevour, or arch btw)

[kind palm]

use mac

[frosty sequoia]

yeah pay 2000$ for it + almost every thing that is free is paid there lol

[kind palm]

What do you need? You can use vscode

cmake

gimp

you are gnu linux user, use opensources apps

[idle dew]

bro does not make sense if his or her budget is low macs aregood but not flexible

and for a computer science student a linux laptop or pc is the best

I was wondering if there are any people here that have worked in IT and transitioned into Programming and if they felt that it was worth it, especially with the oversaturation of programmers. I graduated with a Computer Science degree but didn't really apply myself and didn't have any personal projects because I couldn't think of anything to make that would benefit me in the real world where I wouldn't just be making it for the sake of making a project. Thankfully I was able to get an IT help desk job about a year after I graduated so its atleast tech related work so I'm in a field im interested in and I don't hate it but not sure where to go after I get my year of experience. I plan on trying to build some programming projects to have a portfolio and to see if I enjoy it. I am in a financially precarious situations so the idea of switching jobs anytime soon, especially switching fields is scary. Would love to hear some stories or get any advice.

[wheat silo]

Getting a job nowadays is difficult, and switching careers can be a challenge. It's important to prioritize your goals. If I may suggest, ask yourself what your current priority is: income or career?
If you're ready to face the consequences, go for it. People find themselves in various situations, but in my case, I cannot blame others for the decisions I make.
I hope my opinion can be helpful.

[glad garden]

It depends also on the country/area you’re living. In some countries qualified people are scarce. Don’t underestimate social skills as well. You might have lots of programmers but you need to conduct yourself, be confident, know how to talk etc. Personnel managers smell that pretty quickly if one is a hack but socially in the basement dweller department, to give a figure of speech (nothing wrong with basements!). I know someone who abandoned her PhD for a programming job. She enjoyed it way more and is also appreciated by the business. She doesn’t regret it.

[brazen walrus]

I know a lot of IT sys admins who became DevOps/SRE or cloud engineers. The pay is way better, it is almost always at the top: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#work-salary. Also there is no oversaturation there, they are always needed: you can't have a product without an infrastructure.

Usually they don't code in a sense of classical programming (like web services), but they do code a lot of infrastructure (for such web services), manage CI/CD and do bunch of scripting/configurations.

Anyone have professional experience in Machine Learning or anything related to Natural Language Processing?

[desert scroll]

i have two laptops and i don’t know which one is better and which i should keep

Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon X1 Gen 8
i5-10210U
16gb ddr4
256 ssd
intel iris graphics

pros: light and thin and runs what i need

cons: doesn’t run any of the games i want to play with friends but runs bare minimum on a game like valorant for 30 fps

this is my current laptop and the next laptop is free for me i dont know if i should upgrade to it

2. ASUS ROG Zephyrus GA401I
   Ryzen 5 4600HS
   16gb DDR4
   1tb ssd
   GeForce GTX 1650 ti

(no pros and cons as it hopefully with advice going to be the upgrade)

what do i use it for?
School work, im doing a levels. maths economics and computer science. i travel a lot between peoples houses and the library and it would go in a backpack. multitasking too. i use adobe audition very often alongside discord and or fl studio. discord very often because i talk to friends all the time. also i play games every so often with my friends but im not sure about how much time i have to do that.
i’m learning to code so thats going to have python on 24/7. both laptops primarily stay off and connected to a monitor keyboard and mouse but again i travel a lot. lenovo has windows 10 pro and asus has windows 10 home.

[brazen walrus]

yes, worked 2.5 years as software engineer in ML/NLP team. ask away 🙂

[woven pelican]

Landing a low-medium paying local web dev job would probably be the way to go at first. They'll pay shit but you'll be able to earn an income and work on front end and backend.

And then work there for like 2 years and then either find a higher paying non entry job somewhere else, or switch programming fields entirely into like defense or science/manufacturing or something.

A lot of CS grads immediately want to go work at FAANG without realizing that sometimes you might have to go through that one shitty job first before even getting close to FAANG because they either lack skill or experience

And "shitty" cs jobs are easy to find imo, you just have to settle for a sub-70K salary and shit benefits for a few years

But hey, programming is programming and experience is experience

[dusky hatch]

How could I try to get into that field? What job should I aim to get first? I have a bachelor in translation and I’m studying a masters in translation technology. I’m learning a lot of stuff related to ML, NL, Python, Automatic translation and lots of translation tools.
I’m really interested in all that but I feel companies will rather prefer people with background in CS or something more related to engineerings.
Atm in working hard in becoming proficient in Python but idk what else I could do

I always feel it will be to hard for me to get a job there cause of my linguistic background 😦

[brazen walrus]

Hello @dusky hatch
I will try to give some advice, but take it with a grain of salt (as with any advice).

My situation:
I used to be a java developer, and then switched to ML + NLP because my CS specialisation at university was machine learning and NLP (specifically language modelling).
The ML team needed a Java backend developer for one project, but also needed some ML/NLP knowledge for other projects, and I fit the bill. After that project was finished, I basically started working as a Python engineer for NLP services in the same team.
So in my case, I studied it and then got a job.

About the learning stuff:

NLP:

• NLP nowadays is mostly about LLMs (giant transformer models), because they can do most of the tasks that used to require specific models (like a fine-tuned version of Bert, but nowadays you can throw anything at an LLM).
• There is also the usual document/image parsing (models like LayoutLM/XLM), which are also transformers, but are not LLMs.
• And the usual object detection in text (which are convolutional neural networks like Yolo models).
• Machine translation (I am not very familiar with this, but I would guess that large transformer models play a big role here as well).

Software engineering:

• Python
• Cloud knowledge (preferably AWS) and infrastructure (e.g. how to host models)

So you can start learning these topics. I would encourage you to focus on the software engineering part (especially cloud, as you already know python).

Job:
It's true that CS background is preferred, but I wouldn't worry much about it if you can't change it. If you can do a conversion masters then I would do that. If not, then not.
When looking for a job, look for Python backend roles. Once you have your foot in the door, you can start looking for NLP Python developer jobs.
Best of luck

[dusky hatch]

Thank you very much for the detailed response! I will consider all you told me and I will keep on studying. I’m really motivated to keep moving forward!

[unkempt ore]

I have a macbook pro m1 2020 model, and i want to get the ducky one 2 mini to connect to it. I plugged in the keyboard to the usb c ports on the macbook and it did not turn on. I even connected the laptop to a power supply, and it still did not work. The reason I'm trying this is because I want this keyboard to type on my laptop and on my windows machine, and be able to switch between the 2 machines. I'm trying not to get a whole new keyboard just for this to work. Has anyone tried this and worked it successfully?

[brazen walrus]

Good luck! Don't expect it happen all at once, just keep grinding 🙂 The funny thing I noticed is that when you just continue going towards the goal, eventually you get it (and it takes time, in years). Just focus on the process

I just got a HiSense Touch and have some issues and wondering if I'm doing something obviously wrong. Its not showing its full storage. I could be missing something obvious but it should have 128gb, but the internal file explorer is showing 24gb in some views and when I tap on storage info, it shows 4gb. I downloaded amaze file explorer and it also shows 4gb, but when I connect it to my pc with mtp, it shows 4gb. I want to know if I'm doing something wrong because this device doesn't even exist with just that little storage right? Here some screenshots https://imgur.com/a/1jg7GaX

[formal mulch]

I tried to find some info about that, but googling this problem showed nothing particular with this device. I'd try to do factory reset and, if that doesn't work, file a customer complaint about it.

i dont want to go into tutorial hell and im trying to learn java so far ive just been asking chatgpt and thats how i kinda got far in python but i want java to be one of my mastered languages (i never mastered a programming language) so does anyone know any like documentation about java that i can use to learn java? thanks!

[brazen walrus]

official tutorial documentation of Oracle. It is java 8, but not really much changed since then.
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/

[balmy zodiac]

java 8

isnt that what minecraft 1.8.9 uses

[brazen walrus]

Java 8 was the last biggest major release. Basically it introduced most patterns people use today, like lambda

Other changes are covered here: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/language/java-language-changes.html#GUID-C9BF7B24-E55E-48E7-BE94-366203487635

[balmy zodiac]

ok thanks ill check it out!

[brazen walrus]

That's how I learned Java anyway (in 2015/2016). It is pretty solid foundation, not much changed since then. There are super important basics covered, like lambdas, generics, collections, inheritance, general OOP etc. Most of the stuff apllies to other JVM languages as well, like Kotlin and Scala.

I've had ereaders and e-ink tablets on my mind lately as a way of reducing eye strain
Would they help with that?

And which ones would you recommend, the one that's caught my eye the most is the supernote nomad

[vagrant scarab]

yes! i’ve been using a kindle to read, and it’s definitely much easier on my eyes in comparison to reading on my phone, laptop, etc

[vagrant scarab]

i’d suggest maybe taking a look at voja from "my deep guide" on yt (james has also recommended him before)

you might find this vid useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciw63v37Xp8&t=272s

has anybody gotten the bookerly font on koreader. I got a hisense touch but still like how text looks on my gen 3 kindle paperwhite more and I'm trying to figure out why, right now I think its because of the font and wanted to know if anybody else feels the same way or had to make any changes like font for it to be more enjoyable

[dapper niche]

the scientific papers I've read show that ereaders are equal to regular screens if you dim the screen to match the same brightness as ereaders. I love ereaders, though. I have a small and large one for technical books

[balmy crystal]

I also asked a friend of mine that's a doctor and he said it depends on the screen type you're comparing it to

So oled era displays and newer have a comparable level of strain

[dapper niche]

the problem with OLED monitors and TVs is the pixel structure isn't as good for text

What do you guys recommend for note-taking in uni? do you use like an e-ink or a laptop or just regular old paper?

[balmy crystal]

[balmy crystal]

You need to figure out what works best for you though

[spark matrix]

Yeahh fair enough, Ill find some ways to figure out which one works best for me

[balmy crystal]

Others might have better suggestions, what do you think will be the best form of note-taking for you?

[spark matrix]

Im not quite sure, as Ill be going to uni next year and for now Ive just been using pen and paper

But classes in uni will be quite a bit longer and will contain more info etc, so Im not sure if pen and paper will be the right thing for me then

If not, you might be able to ask on phind.com (a tool Ive been using from time to time, its basically like chatgpt but specialized in more code-related stuff)

[balmy crystal]

He's using org mode within emacs, and org mode is supposed to have a calendar feature
Org mode is a tool for note taking, organization, stuff like that

It isn't as well known as some other options because it's an emacs thing though

I bought a boox note5 off eBay and it's been kind of disappointing and slow. On the fast mode, the ghosting is horrible or if I make it refresh often, the flashing is annoying.

It's too slow and awful to watch videos and mindlessly browse so that's nice.

    }

System.out.println("matrix 2 is ");
for(int i=0;i<num;i++)

    for(int j=0;j<num;j++)
    {
        result[i][j]=matrix1[i][j]+matrix2[i][j];
        System.out.println(result[i][j]+" ");
    }
    System.out.println();
}

    }
}

Anyone familiar with setting up US-based proxies ??

I need US-based residential (rotating or static) proxies based in the major cities of the US.

Currently I am using third party proxy companies like oxylabs and iproyal. But their proxies easily get flagged by major websites, since these proxy companies are very famous.

I was wondering if it'd be possible for me to setup my own resedential proxies.

[ivory karma]

any ideas?

the video not working

[outer harbor]

do any1 cn solve my all maths probs?

[idle dew]

Where are they ?? :-:

[idle dew]

in one of his videos he has a mac display does that work or is it compatitable with the new macbook pros? cause it looks really nice and i like the retro aesthetic.

Or is it possible for me to use with a pc?

[plush crater]

(is "email marketing designer" a thing? I see it on ziprecruiter but im not sure if other people are making up that word too)

[idle dew]

it is a profession where people make emails targetted towards supporting businesses and designing it to fit with the customer i believe and yes it is a type of marketing.

[void mulch]

I need a second opinion, wanna do some tomfoolery, Like fit a T420 into a T42, will my nug fit?'

[gusty creek]

Does anyone know of a place to get a SWE resume reviewed ?

[glad wyvern]

any solutions for this or do i have to pry it open and fix the button

[fallen bobcat]

yo, i'm currently learning from Azure site, mostly high level architecture pattern

can you give me the pdf of that book, my exam is closed but interested in implementing those pattern when i'm free too

[dreamy gorge]

is anyone of you guys have tried dum phones and recommendations. I have some models on my mind but idk

like I want to dowloand 1 or 2 apps and that one app is spotify so idk??

also something with strong case cuz im clumsy

[tall cosmos]

you figured it out or still need help? if so dm me

[tepid ridge]

uhh

what keyboard and tablet does james use in his latest 2024 desk setup?

[vagrant scarab]

keyboard - qk60 (hhkb layout), mouse - protoarc (not sure about the model but seems like the em01)

[tepid ridge]

alright ty

what abt the tablet?

[vagrant scarab]

which one?

[tepid ridge]

the first one he showed

not the boox version 1

[vagrant scarab]

looks like the boox tab ultra c pro

[tepid ridge]

thanks!

[hasty snow]

Anyone here, who knows react native and wants to make apps as their side project with me,

For both learning and person use cases.

🦉

[vale ice]

Looking at a glance, it doesn't seem like it. You might need to dig out the schematics but the T42 is more compact than the T420 as easily observed. It would be easier to determine if you also opened up the T42.

I'm not an expert though, I've modded a T430 but I've never attempted to swap the board of one model into another

Let me know how it goes

[merry raft]

Will I have problems with a 5600 cpu and the power supply?

[river crescent]

I need an e ink tablet that is roughly the size of an A4 paper

Do they exist?

[river crescent]

Or an iPad Pro

[pastel seal]

yes but they are very expensive

[river crescent]

How much? What’s the quality like

[pastel seal]

if i remember well the brand BOOX make really big e-ink tablet

the name of the model should be like BOOX Tab X or ultra smth

[pastel seal]

1000 euros i think

but more common size you can find something like 400 euros

[river crescent]

I might buy the 7 inch one as a starter device

If I like it then I’ll buy a bigger one later

[river crescent]

That’s more expensive than a kindle paperwhite

Are they better?

[pastel seal]

kindle paperwhite is like the worse you can buy

[river crescent]

I’m new so idk, preach to me

[void mulch]

Boox Ultra tab C is their biggest tablet that i know of, Its about 800 american but thta have Q/C issues

ive held and uses one

[pastel seal]

look at brand like Remarkable, Boox or notea

[void mulch]

they feel nice but, the Q/C issues show

[pastel seal]

i personally use Remarkable 2 every day and it work very well

[river crescent]

I want a started device for now

Ideally under 300 usd

[void mulch]

like a starter tablet?

[river crescent]

Yeah e ink

Mostly for reading and some note taking

[void mulch]

Remarkable 2 is probably your best bet then. 300 american for a E-ink tablet is scare if you want to write on it

[pastel seal]

i agree*

[river crescent]

Remarkable 2 is 700 usd on amazon (I’m not from the us)

[void mulch]

Woosh I forgot

[pastel seal]

if you want to pay less for accesories just by compatible one on amazon

[void mulch]

so pricey

Try and find a preowned one on ebay

[river crescent]

Is it 300 in the us?

[pastel seal]

yeah in europe too

[void mulch]

my best adivce is, Preowned E-ink tablets are your best bet

Ebay, offerup, facebook marketplace? honestly

[river crescent]

That’s ridiculous

So a kindle oasis or something like that might be my best choice

[void mulch]

you pay for the "premium"

anyways i gtg

good luck

[river crescent]

I don’t really like buying stuff preowned

[river crescent]

Premium what

Apparently if I order from their website it’s 450 (with the pen)

350 without the pen

[pastel seal]

yes take it without the pen and there is a way to have 20 percent off

with a Referral Code

[river crescent]

So without the pen and 20% off it’s like 280 or so usd?

[pastel seal]

and then buy staeder pen on amazon theyre way cheaper

[pastel seal]

yeah something like this if i remember well

[river crescent]

I know this is kinda dumb

But do you mean these

[pastel seal]

no these

the one without eraser is 20 euros

but the one with the eraser is really impressive for the price

[river crescent]

You apply the referral code at checkout right?

[pastel seal]

no

https://remarkable.com/referral/5WQB-3L9R

with this link you will have it

[river crescent]

Ok thanks

What I have to do is persuade my brother to buy it for me (I’ll steal his credit card)

[pastel seal]

yeah but but bro it relly change my way of working and do a lot of stuff

if you do math and stuff it is verry usefull

[frosty sequoia]

can someone help me

this shit dont want to work

[frosty sequoia]

@pastel seal yo ce guy you look like you know your stuff can you help me with this

wait i will post a pic to show what the duck is going on

[pastel seal]

it depends on what stuff💀

[frosty sequoia]

so i installed linux mint but i want to try arch so i flashed the usb and pluged it in the laptop and it shows some thing called grub> like this

so @pastel seal ?

[pastel seal]

bro arch is sooooo long to explain

[frosty sequoia]

i just want to go to that root/normal thing that happens when you want to install it i dont want this grub mf

[pastel seal]

the best advice i can give to you is to read https://wiki.archlinux.org/

i'm not really into linux but i know some discord serverrs where people could help u

[frosty sequoia]

yeah i checked that nothing related to this it seems its a problem related to dual booting not to arch itself

ok send them in dms

[spark matrix]

What do you mean?

Grub is just a bootloader

So Im not quite sure what exactly you mean

If you are stuck in the Grub Shell, I guess refer to the following: https://superuser.com/questions/1237684/how-to-boot-from-grub-shell

[frosty sequoia]

yo its solved thanks tho

[tepid ridge]

how do u even use arch dude

I used it once and it fcked up my mind

btw

for beginners which linux distribution should I try?

[vagrant scarab]

i'd recommend ubuntu or ubuntu based distributions since they’re more stable and offer more support. their communities are generally more welcoming towards beginners, too, so it’ll be easy for you to get help if you ever need it

[tepid ridge]

okay thanks dude

should I use arch?

[vagrant scarab]

it's up to you haha

it used to be my main distro

but there's a harder learning curve

[tepid ridge]

i like hard stuff

[vagrant scarab]

if you have the time to spare and are eager to learn then definitely

[tepid ridge]

I'll stick to ubuntu

[vagrant scarab]

good luck

have fun with linux!

[tepid ridge]

thanks!

[vagrant scarab]

i'm thinking of getting back into it too

[tepid ridge]

this windows thing is crazy shit

[vagrant scarab]

LMAO fr

[tepid ridge]

nicee

[vagrant scarab]

i only went back to windows on my pc since i used to play games

[tepid ridge]

bloatware everywhere

[vagrant scarab]

ikr

and the updates

[tepid ridge]

oof

[vagrant scarab]

[tepid ridge]

so there are two versions

and i'm quite fcked up

[vagrant scarab]

for ubuntu?

[tepid ridge]

ye

23.10 and some 22. something

[vagrant scarab]

ohh

get the lts version

[tepid ridge]

okay

[vagrant scarab]

it'll be 22.04.3

that's the stable one

[tepid ridge]

ohhkk

so i need an usb

[vagrant scarab]

yep

either that or a dvd drive but i used the usb method

[tepid ridge]

alright

its downloading

ill wait

[vagrant scarab]

nice!

this is making me wanna go back to linux xD

[idle dew]

i recently got t470p for 200bucks great condition but i had to return it. I priottise battery life first and then power. @everyone can you suggest a thinkpad with dual batteries and not a p processor a laptop with 3.5ghz will more than fine

[vagrant scarab]

t480

[pallid rivet]

u ever ready any books or particular forums on linux?

[vagrant scarab]

books, sadly no, not yet at least! and i can't recall reading any particular forums about linux, unless the official distro forums count haha

i mostly learned from youtube since it's easier for me to follow, and a lot of trial and error

[graceful trail]

is anyone familiar with AIO launcher? I want to make a shortcut to particular files on the home screen but I'm not sure how

pls dm if you guys know how

[tepid ridge]

bro

I installed ubuntu but I'm not able to install any apps from the apps library

and how do i install chrome or brave

[vagrant scarab]

https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/ubuntu-help/addremove-install.html.en

[tepid ridge]

but i need a browser

[vagrant scarab]

you should have firefox by default

no firefox?

[tepid ridge]

i deleted that 💀

[vagrant scarab]

oh

bro

hahaha

search "ubuntu software" in your launcher

that's where you download applications from, either that or you can do it from the terminal

[tepid ridge]

it says some stuff

wait

it says

(null) cannot install brave : cannot query the store for updates: got unexpected HTTP ststus 408 via post to "https://apl.snapcraft.io/v2/snaps/fresh"

[tepid ridge]

@vagrant scarab

[vagrant scarab]

wait are you connected to the wifi or by ethernet?

[tepid ridge]

ye

welp

@vagrant scarab

[vagrant scarab]

i'm looking it up rn haha give me a sec

[tepid ridge]

okay take ur time

[vagrant scarab]

try this in your terminal "sudo snap refresh"

[tepid ridge]

okay

wait its doing something

it says

all snaps are up to date

[vagrant scarab]

can you send a pic?

if not, is that all it said?

[tepid ridge]

i dont even know how to take a ss

[tepid ridge]

ye

[vagrant scarab]

have you tried installing chrome instead?

[tepid ridge]

thats it

[tepid ridge]

i cant find chrome

i installed brave

[vagrant scarab]

oh chrome doesn't appear in the software center if you search for it?

[tepid ridge]

ye

it does not

[vagrant scarab]

sorry, i'm a bit rusty in ubuntu and linux in general but that'd make sense since chrome is proprietary

i tried looking for some packages on the official ubuntu website and it's having some errors

i'm not sure if it's connected to your issue somehow

i'll keep looking for a fix

you don't like firefox? haha

@tepid ridge

try this in your terminal "snap debug connectivity"

[tepid ridge]

okay

[vagrant scarab]

https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/error-http-status-code-408-snap-store/28980

i'm just reading through that

[tepid ridge]

oh

[vagrant scarab]

someone's also had the same issue as you before

[tepid ridge]

it says

connectivity Status:
Pass

[vagrant scarab]

ohh

can you try this in your terminal too? "ping -c1 -q api.snapcraft.io"

[tepid ridge]

wait

says this

[vagrant scarab]

ok so those last two commands were successful

[tepid ridge]

yer

[vagrant scarab]

one of the answers says that the error might pass if you give it a few hours

but another common answer was that it might have something to do with your internet router settings, which is a little more complex

[tepid ridge]

ohh

i like complex stuff

[vagrant scarab]

maybe just try to install brave again every hour? or whenever you can

i'll keep trying to look for more solutions

[tepid ridge]

ye ill try later

[vagrant scarab]

that's good!

[tepid ridge]

damn my wifi is so slow

oh shoot

its installing brave

[vagrant scarab]

ohh it's working now?

[tepid ridge]

thanks bro @vagrant scarab

[tepid ridge]

ye

[vagrant scarab]

nice nice

[vagrant scarab]

np

[tepid ridge]

bro's the life saver

[vagrant scarab]

hahaha nahh i just used google

[tepid ridge]

still

[vagrant scarab]

if you come across another problem, try to just copy and paste it in google

earlier i just searched "cannot query the store for updates: got unexpected HTTP status 408"

[tepid ridge]

oh okay

[vagrant scarab]

yeah, it's likely someone else has come across the same issues, especially if it's ubuntu since it's really popular

but if you can't find anything, you can always try to ask here: https://askubuntu.com/

you have to be specific when you ask on official linux forums, though. so make sure you’ve googled and tried every possible fix first. when you ask, be specific and list the things you’ve tried. the linux community is welcoming but they’re very strong on users taking initiative

[tepid ridge]

um one question

i still like have the windows files from my prev os

[vagrant scarab]

what type of files?

[tepid ridge]

idk

llike one file is$windows-ws

[vagrant scarab]

where did you see that?

[tepid ridge]

in my ssd

[vagrant scarab]

google xD

[tepid ridge]

so should i delete all that stuff

[vagrant scarab]

it seems like you can delete it if you want

[tepid ridge]

okay

[tepid ridge]

alright done

but some files are still there

like program files and stuff

[vagrant scarab]

do you still have windows installed?

[tepid ridge]

nah

@vagrant scarab

[vagrant scarab]

weird, there shouldn't be any windows related files if you wiped windows, from what i can remember but i could be wrong

are there a lot of them?

[tepid ridge]

4

[vagrant scarab]

ok not too many luckily

what are they called?

i'm betting it's safe to delete them but best to just make sure

[vagrant scarab]

you can try to google it like i did here

then you can decide for yourself if you'll need it or not but if you're not sure then i'll try to help

[tepid ridge]

1. MSO CACHE
2. program files
3. program files x86
4. users

[vagrant scarab]

oh wtf

those should be gone

are they all under one folder?

[tepid ridge]

guess i did not clean my ssd

[tepid ridge]

exactly

ye

my ssd

[vagrant scarab]

yeah that's what i was gonna guess haha

i don't think you wiped it properly

[tepid ridge]

so how do i fix that 😢

[vagrant scarab]

i think ubuntu has a built in partition manager

[tepid ridge]

ahh another fresh install incoming

[vagrant scarab]

you can check to see your partitions through there

[vagrant scarab]

honestly, if it was me i'd do a fresh install but it seems like your system is running fine, as of right now

[tepid ridge]

so should i delete the ssd partiotion with windows

partition*

[vagrant scarab]

partitions can be tricky down the line if you don't do them properly at first

[tepid ridge]

im a baby in these stuff

[vagrant scarab]

is it on the same ssd?

[tepid ridge]

ubuntu?

[vagrant scarab]

yeah

your ubuntu and windows installation

[tepid ridge]

no

ubuntu is on my harddisk

ig

[vagrant scarab]

seperate storage devices?

so windows is on an ssd and ubuntu is on a hdd?

[tepid ridge]

ye

[vagrant scarab]

oh it should be fine then, you can delete the windows partition on your ssd if you want

then you can format that ssd so that you can access it from linux and use it

[tepid ridge]

but i need ubuntu on my ssd

[tepid ridge]

how am i supposed to do that

[vagrant scarab]

search "disk utility" in your launcher

i'm a bit confused for as to where you have things installed haha

[vagrant scarab]

i'll be able to see it here

[tepid ridge]

okay then

[vagrant scarab]

either through there or you could do it through the terminal but i'd stick to gui applications for now until you get more comfortable

[tepid ridge]

then what

[vagrant scarab]

do you have a printscreen key?

or whatever it's called

i need a screenshot to see what it's showing

[tepid ridge]

no

its a 60% layout

my int is so slow

it shows the hdd and ssd

wiht partitions

with*

[vagrant scarab]

can you try "take a screenshot" from your launcher?

or maybe take a pic with your phone?

[tepid ridge]

i toook an ss

its goinf

*going

[vagrant scarab]

ok i'll just wait for it

[tepid ridge]

ok so i deleted the partitions

and i dont need a fresh install

[vagrant scarab]

the windows partition?

[tepid ridge]

deleted it

[vagrant scarab]

nothing you might've needed there?

like personal files

because it'll be permanently gone

[tepid ridge]

nah

[vagrant scarab]

ok you should be good then

[tepid ridge]

ye

and i created a new partition

thanks again!

[vagrant scarab]

nice, i was just about to suggest that haha

no worries

[tepid ridge]

👍

even ubuntu was bad

[tepid ridge]

I have my ubuntu on my hdd but i need it on my ssd is there any way

[frosty sequoia]

why the duck there is no de

its arch btw

[vagrant scarab]

that's how it is by default

you can either follow the official installation guide here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/installation_guide or look for a vid on yt

i think there's a script that might make it easier though? this one: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/archinstall but i've never tried it

[vagrant scarab]

you have to install the de yourself, along with everything else

[frosty sequoia]

ok

thanks

[vagrant scarab]

good luck!

[signal harbor]

ello, will this be a good dumb phone (i love how it looks lol)

[pallid rivet]

make sure the bands work in your area and that it satisfies your minimal needs

[signal harbor]

sorry idk this but
what are bands -_-

[woven rampart]

https://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html

iirc there's more to it with carrier compatibility etc., but should work as a starting point to figuring out whether it would work

that being said, i'd just google "dumbphone 2023 [your country here] reddit" and skip the extra research

[pallid rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/smart-think-meme-intelligence-common-sense-gif-8946867

[signal harbor]

yeah that didn’t work for russia

[dreamy gorge]

I need to download 1-2 apps in it but thats all

and maybe a flip phone?

it's stupid but i like how it looks

I need suggestions

a lot

cuz i have no idea

[pallid rivet]

well if you are buying a phone from Russia, and you live in Russia, you should be fine

at least thats how it is here in the us

[pallid rivet]

yea downloading apps is easy with an android device bc of apks

[pallid rivet]

depends on where you are from

[signal harbor]

yeah i live in russia

[pallid rivet]

how much ram does the phone have

[signal harbor]

30mb 😭

it was released in 2009 after all

[pallid rivet]

bro

also, isn't the phone 2g? does russia support 2g?

I don't think US carriers support 2g/3g anymore

[signal harbor]

yeah, i realized the phone is 2g so i’m looking at this rn

[pallid rivet]

i heard that one is good

I was considering it but got a 702kc instead

[signal harbor]

i heard james talk about an f21

but i’ve seen comparisons and the f22 is slightly faster

only downside is no camera so i can’t use it as an alarm clock with qr codes

but i’ll figure smn out

[pallid rivet]

yea like my phone has 1gb of ram, so i can hardly use more than one application simultaneously

[pallid rivet]

ah yea

i don't use qr codes so it rlly doesn't matter for me

[signal harbor]

no nfc 😭

which means i cant use an nfc tag on my bathroom mirror

oh wait

i can put a sticker on the back

and use that as a scanner

so i need to touch my bathroom mirror with the phone in order to turn off alarm

maybe i can make that work i guess

[pallid rivet]

yea if u can make it work. you just left my range of scope by mentioning nfc tags tho xd

don't know anything about em

[dreamy gorge]

why does it matter? sorry im stupid

[pallid rivet]

carriers

one phone is supported somewhere and not elsewhere

[signal harbor]

xd

[signal harbor]

like 99% of japanese phones in the us

[dreamy gorge]

oh ok

[signal harbor]

istg all i need on that phone is spotify and it’ll be perfect

and since it runs android i’ll just throw it on there

hooray

hey guys I was wondering how J had switching OS on his computer. I've seen video where he says that Ubuntu located in his SSD drive. If he was just restarting a computer so why then his stream which had been starting on Windows hadn't got over while quitting Windows

[vale ice]

depends on what you are doing. It might seem silly but your question is comparable to what tool should I buy. It depends on what sort of project you have in mind. The generic answer is Python for it's simple syntax, ease of comprehension, flexibility and of course earning potential...

Is there any recommendations for lighter operating systems? Especially for an extremely inebriated and barely surviving laptop?

[sullen ermine]

you was creating a virus?😅

You can download iso of some linux distro (like archcraft, this is the simplest option), connect usb with this iso to your machine, boot it, access to your file system like root user, and delete this script. With iso because in that case your script couldn’t launch.

Sorry for my English hahah

Did anyone get an Eink tablet and didn't think it was worth it? Or did anyone get the paper like iPads screen and have a bad experience? Or maybe a different android tablet? Context: I do like the idea of organizing my pdfs and marking them up but I can also see the power in split screening on the go with an iPad/android tablet. While I do write and jot quick notes down for the books/pdfs I’m reading, my main way of memorization is spaced repetition via Anki. I can’t declare if I’m falling for consumerism or not for wanting another device. Cyber job in the military, knocking down college credits, and already have a perfectly alright lab top. Also have an ereader. 🫡

[hot fable]

just gotta ask yourself if an eink tablet would actually give you intellectual/monetary benefit. I had an iPad for a long time and while it was nice for taking notes it didn't really add that much value compared to regular pen & paper notes

[tall cosmos]

same boat i bought the newest samsung tablet and barely used it

returned it

paper and pencil win

some teaches dont like tech too so careful w/t that

[void mulch]

I enjoyed mine, ngl mainly because I like having thr ability to put my notes on my PC without a scanner or anything, Just makes life that little bit simpler, I do take paper and pencil notes alot too

Are there any free cloud servers where I can host my discord bot

[brazen walrus]

Just use AWS Lambda, 400k calls per month are free, and above that is still insanely cheap, that's enough to cover a lot of logic.

I used to have something like that, I had a bot that posted my youtube videos to discord (with some ChatGPT generated tech facts). I can even share my code.

Hi, I have an ThinkPad X201 (i5 varient)and it currently has 4GB of DDR3 RAM (2x2GB).

I am trying to upgrade it to 8GB (2x4GB) but after putting in the new RAM sticks the Laptop boots into GRUB, let's me choose an OS but then after few seconds of trying to boot that OS the laptop just restarts.

I have:

• verified that 8GB should be working on the mainboard(both by checking Documentation and dmidecode)
• verified that the RAM modules aren't damaged (by putting them in a Dell Latitude, they worked there)
• verified that they do get detected (by checking in the ThinkPad's BIOS)
• tried putting in the RAM and waiting a few minutes before booting it (idk, was recommended somewhere)
• tried different operating systems (both from internal SSD and liveboot USBs)[same problem for all OSs]
• tried 4GB + 2GB from the original (same problem occurs)
• obviously tried having it plugged in and not plugged in

Would love to hear if anyone has any ideas on this.

[marble topaz]

I wanted something to lower website contrast for better reading on Safari/MacOS and found: Cascadea. Works great but I just saw this, which is basically saying it could possibly see passwords and stuff. Now I wonder if I really shouldn't use this or if it's sort of scaremongering. Found it in the official App Store.

[marble topaz]

Well it needs to edit the content after all
So yes - it could read passwords

[slate sierra]

I understand. But how did it manage to get into the App Store then? Is it because, idk… the app could but it doesn’t or something?

Very hard to judge the risk.

[jade summit]

I have both. I bought the iPad pro with the bellemond writing paper screen protector and the onyx note5. I regret not saving my money and getting the flagship onyx e-reader. The onyx built in e-reader is kind of annoying but it looks good and I can highlight and erase highlights easily with the pro pen which has an eraser on the top. I dislike the double tap to change to eraser on the iPad. Of the apps I use, It seems like only goodreader5 has scribble to erase and I don't want to subscribe. If I had to choose, I would pick the iPad for textbooks and the note5 for novels. iPad also doesn't have tachiyomi or moonreader+. Maybe Samsung tablet was the way to go 😦

[raw iris]

I don‘t know this extension but it is normal of MacOS to ask for permission to grant sensitive perms to whatever application is requiring them for calling specific functions. It is your decision as a user if you trust either the extension and the host of whatever website you are visiting with the information you are handing out

[zealous lily]

I have a question. I am trying to understand the hash function. Is its main purpose lets say to have a vector which is a list of unknown size and turn it into a fixed sized table? Am I correct in this statement?

[marble topaz]

well not really
The main purpouse of a hash function is to calculate a hash and those hashes can be used in a multitude of ways:

• Cryptography (checking for equality without storing the data)
• Validation (to check if a file has been altered)
• Reducing complexity (hash maps)

and to that vector table thing:
Its less about size and more about runtime complexity

If you have a list and want to check if a value is already contained in it, you would need to check all values in the list.
this takes longer the longer the list is
we call this O(n) because the "work" the computer needs to to scales with n (length in this case)
double the length - double the work

checking if a value is already in a hash-* (hashmap, hashset, whatever) has a complexity of O(1) that means that it always takes the same amount of work to check
BUT KEEP IN MIND - the amount of work may be constant but it might not be small
Runtime complexity only gives information about the growth of work
so an O(n) algo is likely to be faster tha O(1) for small n

if a list has three elements you only need three check but with a hashtable even just calculating the hash might take longer

@zealous lily ^

[zealous lily]

Why is it that with a hashmap we don't have to check all the values in the list. Wouldn't it be the same complexity O(n) since all the values in the list would have a hash? Or are only a set amount of values in the has which reduce the work?

[marble topaz]

The hash of an object IS the location in the data structure itsself (think of it like an index to a huge array even though its not an array in the background)

To check if something is in the hashtabe i just need to look at that known position of the array and that is 0(1)

[zealous lily]

got it got it got it got it got it. Thanks!

Hello guys, im sorry to do the classic, but i have a question. I tried to use Docker for my webapp in the google cloud shell. When trying to run the container it seems like the process is running and you can see its accessible on port 80. But when trying to access the website through its external IP it doesnt let me connect from my local PC. It says the connection is refused. Also curl http://localhost:80 works but when i do it with the external IP within the Cloud shell it tells me that connection is refused. I am missing something but i cant wrap my head around it. I tried many things, consulting my AI friends but they seem to have no clue. Maybe my base configuration is bad? Im really not sure what to do.

Anybody here also using the latest Safari/Sonoma and is running an ablocker on Youtube? It is extremely slow with both AdGuard and 1Blocker, almost unusable. Before the update everything was fine, using AdGuard.

I heard Wipr doesn't work any longer on yt. Maybe Vinegar is the solution, but I'd prefer the og player because of the timestamps.

Up to date Safari users, how do you do it?

[shell tendon]

Anyone here knows how to center this input file "Adjuntar archivo"? using just css and html

[neon ice]

You can use different methods

if you are using flex box:

.container {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center; /* Horizontal alignment */
    align-items: center; /* Vertical alignment */
}

if you are using grid:

.container {
    display: grid;
    place-items: center; /* Shorthand for aligning items both horizontally and vertically */
}

or you can do it with absolute position:

.container {
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}

is there any way i can plug a laptop with a non hdmi old tv

[neon ice]

If both your computer and the tv has vga you can use a vga to vga cable. if your laptop has a dvi port you can use dvi-vga cable.

if the tv has rgb componentports you can use an hdmi adaptor.

totally depends on the ports

hey! is it worth buying yt premium or not
i gives me ads free... (adblocker somehow slows my loading time and videos buffer a lot)
it gives me yt music (i quite like spotify, spotify-tui, spotifyd)
the ads free is great for me... i am still thinking about whether I should purchase it or not

[oblique gulch]

havent used youtube premium yet, but using ublock origin on firefox gives me no ads or slowdown. might be worth paying for premium though if you have an iphone and use youtube a lot on it, at least for now since sideloading apps on ios is difficult so you cant use stuff like vanced or newpipe on there

[neon ice]

do you use a user agent switcher? without it youtube on firefox loads a bit slower for me

[oblique gulch]

just checked; seems to be set to boolean, so if i remember right, i havent changed it.

[slate sierra]

Same. I just heard about YouTube lite. Maybe that’s also an option.

[sturdy lotus]

i searched youtube lite on google... it was like 1.0 and was released in 2018...

i tried pipepipe, newpipe, libretube they are good but we cant log in in them...

you are welcome!

[marble topaz]

afaik the voltage is a max value so a 16v cap will work just fine for 6.3v

May I know whats seminar did you attend? Just a sample

[cerulean crypt]

anybody know assembler?

[slate sierra]

From what I understand the cap voltage should be at 30% over the one that is filtered. Otherwise it won’t be as effective. At least that’s what I heard. And I need it for 5v and 6,3v is a common size (for smd type ones) so maybe there’s something to it.

solid but i really hated the dark green and purple
i'm a gruvbox fanboy and i think you should make the background somewhat near that

[zealous lily]

I agree with the green. I still like the bg color and the purple tho. What do you think to replace the green with a lighter hue like #8dab72?

[frosty sequoia]

uhh i'm not expert in this but if i use some colorsheme i prefer green to be something like #c1fc05

you know like "lime" light

[frosty sequoia]

ayo look at this (ik this is old )
someone proposed
if (this.Affection == 0){
this.Affectionlevel = 0;
}
else{
this.Affectionlevel = (this.Affection / 25) + 1;
}
but idk why the +1 at the end

[zealous lily]

That just means that anything greater than 100f mean you are level 5 right? If there is no level 5 then the program would not know what to do when there is something above 100f.

yo guys

can you suggest good laptops for cs major student

also if i should buy a seperate laptop and tablet or a 2in1 laptop

[marble topaz]

Depends on if you even need a tablet (or tablet-like experience)

CPU and ram is important. Gpu isnt

If you want something that lasts get a used thinkpad

I personally have a surface pro 9 and am happy with it (it is hella expensive though)

[zealous lily]

You can do a lot with a core i7 and 16gb of RAM. But core i5 and 8gb is the sweetspot I believe for price and performance. I have a friend we are both seniors in college and he has been fine with his pc which have does specs. At the end of the day if you run linux or wsl on windows you will be set for everything.

it's literally the question whaa

[idle dew]

It's probably someone has turned on parental control on your device

[buoyant finch]

one of my chrome profiles is my school account but why is my whole device managed by the org like what

[idle dew]

Try logouting that profile from school, and check if you get the same notification again

Managed by organization in your personal device is probably a unwanted program or a browser hijacker

[idle dew]

Download a antivirus software and perform full system scan

Open the Control Panel,Under Programs, select Uninstall a program,Look for the LuckyWheels app or another similarly named program. Right-click on it and select Uninstall,

[buoyant finch]

ok lemme try

nothing sus under my programs

i also installed an antivirus and it says my pc is good

[tall cosmos]

Bro

Don't do anything weird on that chromebook or personal

USA school given laptops are monitored as fuck

And they can see what you do through the camera when in school premises 💀

Some districts also have key mapping enabled so I wouldn't risk trying to make a Chrome book personalized foryourself

[buoyant finch]

yeah i unlinked my school account and now the message is gone

[buoyant finch]

too late i already downloaded adult games

[tall cosmos]

If you managed to do that great

I had to rizz my librarian into giving me the administrator password and and wiped out the school off the chromebook😭
