  1. Re:Best Linux Distribution? on Best Linux Distribution (linuxjournal.com) · · Score: 1

    Due to recent *nix friendly updates as well as POSIX compatibility I'd say Windows 10

  2. Germany, along with other 1st world polluters, should stop exporting/outsourcing their "recylce services" to africa, where the afrikaner are burning pcbs, wires, coils, e.t.c. to extract metals like copper.
    The only one who cares is some California grade citizens that drive a prius to reduce "smug", but send their trash to be burnt in 3rd world countries.
    Green energy and environmental friendly investments is the easiest excuse to burn E.U. money without others asking questions.

  3. are those the guys who buy overpriced 50s technology with the illusion that performs better than current technology.

  4. year of the Linux Desktop confirmed.

  5. You cannot fight alphabet, or can you? on YouTube Will Put Disclaimers On State-Funded Broadcasts To Fight Propaganda (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    We've seen a lot of those politically correct moves by Alphabet pushed via their various products. They even locked down private documents in drive which seemed to the parsing algorithm, AI for the rest, that it had racist content.
    You cannot trust people with internet, they are too stupid, inb4 "your to stupid", to recognize what's targeted and what's not, so they say let's start flagging what we don't like. Beware little person, Russia Today is propaganda, our beloved Hillary lost to sum damn drank adidas wearing hackers.
    Deutsche Welle is propaganda... oohh no wait, we agree with those guys, they are SJWs and they have fetishes with dark skinned 30yo registered as teens. DW is good, RT is bad.
    On another note, youtube's algorithms have been becoming shittier and shittier by the year, from censoring to recommending and the list never ends. I don't have hopes that they will ever manage to make it work properly, they are going to fuck up, like they are doing since they bought their propaganda megaphone.
    And don't forget, they are going to leech more money off of content creators... because that's their kingdom and they are the rulers who decide what's good for them.

    does this mean that AI is some form of paranoia?

  7. ...and what about adblocks?

  8. another fascist jumps the ship.
    I know that many of you get sarcasm/hirony as trolling, but this is the reality. Big companies have to comply with idiocy, e.g. real time gender spectrum analyzers, vegans, internationalism/globalism, don't hurt the jews, pet the mentally unstable in the back and feed them hormones, let the boys dress like barbies and cut their dicks.
    For fucks sake, Apple, a fucking company that used to have wozniak building PCBs and computers, has a fucking diversity chief. Google has one too, facebook the same.
    Those, supposed to, big technology companies care more about the restroom their employees use, than promoting minds. They promote political correctness.
    I hate to say that, but /pol/ was all the time, mother efing right, the whole time.
    I am struggling the last year to get a PhD position in a public research center and I cannot compete fairly with other candidates, because they had 8% of females 2 years ago and they are trying to reach 15%. I don't know if I am useless or if I ca compete against them, but having a 30 year tradition of hiring 90% and suddenly the last years you switch to 90% women and 10% men, says a lot.
    I won't bother analyzing cases like Mass Effect: Andromeda, Anita Sarkeesian, Thief, Equilifax, Yahoo and similar countless cases in every field.

  9. nvidia doesn't want their cards to be sold at 200$ above mspr and they get nothing rather than the usual.
    They care about miners a lot, they have targeted miners previously, it's a great market for them, but it seems that they want a larger piece of that pie.
    nVidia can tell the retailers what to do, when they buy back the old stock. If they don't do that, then they don't have any power over what the retailers do.

    According to those kind of ppl, you can "groom" a 13yo boy, but facebook is forbidden.
    I'd bet an arm and a leg that he'll support his nephew if he got on HRT, but hey, using facebook is of the limits.

  12. I've worked with a PH.D from UCLA who seemingly barely understood the most basic concepts of computer science.
    ...and I've had a professor who haven't written code in 20 years, he barely used a computer, aside from the regular use to reply students' queries, and all of his classes had zero interaction with a computer
    his main field of interest were algorithms, he probably doesn't know what mips is, or even arm, he had his studies way before those were even a concept, he precedes many computer languages, BUT his is more relevant to CS than some random IT dude who knows C++/Java/Python/JS, is great with linux and what not.
    solving a problem using common sense and experience is IT, solving the same problem using the most efficient, secure way that's been proved to be as such is CS.
    Anyone can pick up a book on anything and, given the right mental fortitude, prerequisite knowledge, and passion, can learn those things!
    I have read a couple of astrophysics books and have passed 2 astrophysics courses to get my degree(needed 2 classes from a different subject) but I don't call myself an astrophysicist or a physicist for that matter.
    You try to make everyone else feel inferior
    That's the millennium problem, you make me feel bad, hence you are wrong and I am correct, you are bad and I am good.
    I like things the way they are. I'd be happy if I can help somebody who want to learn something from IT, to guide him to the right direction. I don't want to lie to someone, just to make him feel good, temporarily.
    Also you are implying that IT is inferior to CS, that's not what I said.

  13. I am trying to explain to ppl that CS and IT is different., yet there's a lot of denial out there.
    IT is a sub-set to CS, if you want a not-so-accurate but simpler analogy.

    The degree only means that you went through formalized study of a specific program.
    A degree in any field depends on knowledge from various other fields, a degree in CS demands knowledge from Math, Physics and Engineering. That's the supplies you get from that "specific" program. A guy working in IT has the knowledge that his job supplies him with.
    If your IT job is to create cryptographic libraries, then you'll create cryptographic libraries.
    If your CS job is to create cryptographic libraries, then you'll create cryptographic libraries with a chosen algorithm, performance and you'll do the proper pen-testing to assure your library is secure.
    I don't see why you focused on libraries, or cryptography, I just gave an example earlier, that's all.
    Finally, I bet there are ppl out there without bachelors that know better some things more than I do, that's a given, but they don't have the wide range of knowledge of ppl with bachelors... but down the bottom this is just comparing each one's working experience.

  14. People mistake IT and CS.
    IT is something mostly gained via experience, that's why it involves things that you get good after years of practice.
    OTOH in order to become part of a CS group you have to study.
    If your company wants someone from the so called "infosec", then you'd better get someone that has at least a CS background.
    To give you a better example I'll describe some of my work experience.
    I've designed many libraries for various cryptographic algorithms, I have design a crypto-core (verilog) based on Sponge and Present algorithms, I've designed FEC for ethernet but I have never built something around SSL.
    Someone from IT maybe has years of experience with SSL/TLS and other industry standards, in various application; and I bet that he has never heard of Sponge and Present and has no Idea what syndrome, Galois Field e.t.c. are. To make things worse I have used git 5 times in the last 4 years
    The fine line between IT and CS exists because programming is a common ground, but not always a given in CS.

  19. Clicked discard and it deleted all his files. Ppl here claim that this was the most probable and normal outcome....welp let's see, how many ides or editors do that....none, except the stupid vs. The usual terminology dictates delete/erase for such actions, and discard is used when you want to revert to some default options. Anyway, play with stupid software, win stupid prizes.

    Why use a foreign letter and use a false pronunciation? Î or Ï are pronounced as the english P or p. Also Î or Ï are not pronounce as you think. You may see it as ÎαÏ... in the greek alphabet, but αÏ... is either pronounced as af or av, so ÏαÏ... is pronounce the same as tough(as in stronk).
