messy asf, a proper hobbiest system

mostly runs jellyfin for a group of about 30 users (2 or 3 on at most times). runs alpine on bare bones. the box was originally filled with foam cutouts from storing iPads in a school district I worked at. I figure it’s 20tbs of storage and 16gb ecc is a welcome upgrade. it stays cool cause I cutout half the side and put an AC fan in there. future upgrades involve the Nvidia k40 card I have, but I need to design an active cooling system for it before it can be installed as that thing gets HOT

“your face, my fist”

I’m in the same boat. I was a kde neon person for a very long time, but I eventually got tired of some weird issues I was having that I couldn’t find a fix for. tried fedora on a bit of a whim and everything just worked. Nvidia drivers were a breeze to set up, gnome is very nice out of the box and doesn’t take the configuring I’m used to on kde, and even just having gnome boxes pre installed is super useful and I get to skip the virtualboxes setup. very impressed with it overall. never going back

to be fair, it’s a pretty shit headline

this guy very much hasn’t. his comment history is damning to say the least

an entire section on race conditions I see

damn. that’s one hell of a family relic. sorry for your losses and I hope there’s a long time before you have to see it again.

well then they couldn’t sue people and that seems to be a large portion of what Nintendo does

liberals tend to be democrats and support democrat views. leftists want something better and tend to vote democratic as there’s not really a better option. liberals tend to be center, even center right, while leftists are actually on the left

don’t get discouraged. sorting algorithms occur frequently in interviews, and yes you use them a decent amount (especially in languages without built in sorts like c) but they are one of the harder things to visualize in terms of how they work. I’d say avoid anything recursive for now until you can get selection and insertion down pat. check out geeksforgeeks articles on them, but also don’t be afraid to Google willy nilly, you’ll find the resource that makes it click eventually.

in terms of efficiency, it does become a little more difficult to grasp without some math background. big o is known as asymptomatic notation, and describes how a function grows. for example, if you graph f1(x)=15log(x) and f2(x)=x, you’ll notice that if x is bigger than 19, then f2(x) always has a higher output value than f1(x). in computer science terms, we’d say f1 is O(log(n)), meaning it has logarithmic growth, and f2 is O(n), or linear growth. the formal definition of big o is that f(x) is O(g(x)), if and only if (sometimes abbreviated as iff) there exists constants N and C such that |f(x)| <= C|g(x)| for all x>N. in our example, we can say that C = 1, and N>19, so that fulfills definition as |15log(x)| <= 1|x| whenever x>19. therefore, f1(x) is O(f2(x)). apologies for just throwing numbers at you, (or if you’ve heard all this before) but having even just the most basic grasp of the math is gonna help a lot. again, in terms of best resources, geeksforgeeks is always great and googling can help you find thousands of more resources. trust that you are not the first person to have trouble with these and most people before you have asked online about it as well.

I also highly reccomend grabbing a copy of discrete mathematics and it’s applications by Kenneth Rosen to dig farther into the math. there’s a few other types of asymptomatic notation such os big omega and big theta, even little o, that I didn’t mention here but are useful for comparing functions in slightly different ways. it’s a big book but it starts at the bottom and is generally pretty well written and well laid out.

feel free to dm me if you have questions, I’m always down to talk math and comp sci.

edit: in our example, we could also pick c =19 and n = 1, or probably a few other combinations as well. as long as it fills the definition it’s correct.

that’s how they get ya

white women really need to get their shit together. downright embarrassing

whats long, brown, and sticky? a stick.

what’s long, blue, and sticky? a blue stick.

ive found kids live this due to the misdirection and then doubling down on it.

nothing says good times like a pedophile making decisions about women’s bodies

indeed. the supreme Court said the president can do whatever the fuck they want, and instead of codifying roe v Wade, purging the supreme court, doing away with gerrymandering, or really anything helpful, the dnc decided a better option would be to hold it over everyone’s heads and then blame voters when no one is motivated to do shit about it.

at the very least it can become a states rights issue and go to the supreme court, but with that in shambles I unfortunately agree

the rotten heart is the gop. they’ve been mastering propaganda since the 60s all while defunding public education to make it harder to see through. that’s why things are the way they are.

can you actually shut the fuck up right now. women and minorities have there lives on the line and all y’all can talk about is this. if kamala wins we can protest her stance. if trump wins and we protest his stance he’s already said he’ll deploy the national guard. y’all are so smug about ruining your chances of helping these people

it’s Philly, there wasn’t really ever any doubt.

I’ve seen one trump sign out and about here and that was in the back of a car window on the way to the store. on the way back I saw that the car window had been smashed and the sign removed. Philly doesn’t want any of the shit here.
