/sqt/ - Stupid Questions Thread

Ask your stupid questions, just like this one:

How can I create (read as "where can I find a finished script or tool") something like pic-related (a photomosaic with different sized tiles) either via some cli-script on linux or via php, nodejs - any programming language. The amount of tiles is going to be around two millions, so it shouldn't take hours to generate.

Is encrypting Android really worth it?

anyone know verilog?
module durr(OUT, A, B,C);
output OUT;
input A, B;
logic C;

add first(.X(C), .Y(A), .Z(B));
endmodule
I have another module for add that uses X Y and Z
first, what's the point of specifying a variable with only logic, not input or output?
and what does the dot(parentheses) syntax mean?

I'm starting a course. My options are:
>Webdevelopment
>E-marketing
>Software tester
I wrote e-marketing off the list already but I still don't know what to choose.

Only you can know the answer.

I just want to get a well paid chill job. I'm 19 and working under stress is a hassle for me because I have some mental issues.

As far as I could ever read it's only encrypted while the phone is off, while its on its all decrypted - only iOS sadly currently nails that down with their implementation.

I can't render a kdenlive windows project because my melt is not setup.

how do I setup melt?

I have some JSON in which each element may or may not contain sub-elements, and each sub-element may or may not contain further sub-elements. Each element has a unique three character identifier called a VID. I want to create a function I pass a VID to and it returns me that element from the JSON structure.

The problem is is that doing this taught me that recursion is not web friendly as I got 'call stack exceeded' error. How would you go about implement a function that would achieve my aims?

how and why is this allowed?

Should you build a raspberry pi emulator or build one?

My laptop hinges are degrading heavily, and the trim is starting to come undone.
Clearly I have neglected it, and I regret that. But are there ways for me to fix that without having to take that shit in to some repair shop for 200?

I have an online exam coming up that's 3 hours long and uses source material online. Source material is over 300 links of pdfs and pages.

Is it possible to easily search through all those documents for key words when answering questions?

yes but why is there no actual DNS record for that?

is there a way of searching for duplicates in my pepes folder?

Any ideas on a "do it yourself" home security system?

how do employers handle it if i list a past employer that they cant contact?

i worked for a place that shut down 3 years ago and the only reference it online is a facebook group with 12 "likes" and a few posts. i'd like to use it on my resume since it's exactly the same job as the place im applying for, but unsure if theyll think im full of shit if i list it

Study, faggot

yes..?

what kind of question is that?

but if the test writer is smart theyll have written the questions in ways that make it hard to ctrl+f unless you understand the material.

ive had lots of open book tests in my cs classes that let us use the book pdf, and i still did bad if i didnt study because you dont know what to search for half the time.

Try software tester then.
You break shit, good job.
You don't brek shit, everybody's haapy cuz it just werks

So I've tried following a few different guides for configuring an NFS server but I still can't get it to work. The server's running Debian 9 and the client's running OS X 10.11, I've tried connecting with both Finder and mount.

Here's /etc/exports
/media/S0 129.168.*.*(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
/media/S1 192.168.*.*(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)

/media/EB 192.168.*.*(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
Here's showmount's output
sudo showmount -e 192.168.2.12

How do I into Foobar2000?
I want to put this theme but there are no instructions.

The only thing he said is "change the foobar2000.ex to foobar2000.exe "

Where do I put all these other stuff?

As well Debian has mirrors for the packages, are they have mirrors for the security and the updates packages? I don't know if I have to change just the main one or the other two can be swapped too. Thank you anons.

How old a macbook could I buy without it being horribly slow? I'm thinking anything after the C2D era is probably okay, am I on the right track?

Yeah, you'd be good. I'm using a C2D iMac right now

For those of you who are subscribed to a Verizon Wireless shared data plan, is it possible to add a 4G USB dongle (for a laptop) as a device to the plan? If so, how much does the addition cost per month? I looked on the web site but couldn't find anything about dongles on the shared data plan.

The font rendering on Windows 10 is incredible terrible. How do I fix it?

you could probably make some good advertising money by making one yourself

Can I use Windows Update on a pirated W10 activated by EZ-Activator?

How do I learn computers? Everything is foreign and I don't understand Sup Forums.

FIxed it finally.

Instead of using recursion to travel the tree lazily and find my target node, I added a "contains" array at the base of each tree, branch and twig. So now it just follows the "contains" array until the "vid" matches the argument. It's quicker than recursion which is nice, but I it means everytime I add data to the tree I have to add the new node's "vid" to every "contains" array above it.

Everyone bangs on about this browser or that browser for being so great, but browsers can't be that great if they have a call stack full error while recursing through something that goes only 3 levels deep.

You're welcome.

You're going to want to have an interest in a specific part of computers, otherwise you'll always feel lost.

Looking to buy a projector screen.
Is there any problem in buying something too big?

Throw calculator says I want 75 inches, but only 72 or 84 are being sold. I could move the projector closer, or just keep 75 and have some extra white space around the sides with a 84 inch screen.
Which to get?

I run an association and we all use WhatsApp. I need to build a bot to send some info for the events I organize, almost weekly, and some Facebook and such, to these people. I've read that they are banning bots on WhatsApp right now, but I don't know where to even start.

I think Telegram has better alternatives, but I need to stick with WhatsApp since nobody uses telegram here.
So where do I start with a whatsApp bot?

Fuck that get Kodi and all of its addons

Fuck that, build a server and use Kodi to make your own Netflix

javlibrary.com for azns. for western pron, who cares, they're all the same

no more than discharging the battery by using it. Lithium batteries degrade mainly by total charge/discharge cycles but also just by passage of time.

Not really, thats the future that'd be here even with net neutrality. Cloudflare inserts themselves as a gatekeeper by saying to people hosting websites "Oh, here, let me handle that for you..." Most of the people running websites don't give a shit about centralization or censorship resistance, and actively like the idea of anyone anonymous who's not gonna buy shit being blocked from their site.

I'm about to get a gigabit internet service, should I switch my cat5e ethernet cables to cat6?

Public-key crypto, since you'll be doing it for key agreement anyway. The server can encrypt a message with its private key, which anyone else can decrypt with the server's public key. If the message decrypts successfully that's proof that whoever encrypted it controls the server's private key - and thus presumably isn't an impostor. You can do this in the other direction for mutual authentication if you like, too.

If you want the gory protocol details, including mathematical proofs on how you can verify that a message hasn't been tampered with, read up on public-key crypto, message authentication codes, and then authenticated encryption.

What can you do with closures that you can't do with methods/privacy baked into OO languages?

I've been tasked with creating a form that people will fill out, kinda like medical forms when you go to the doctor

in google docs, how do I achieve a layout like this? by that i mean, where some rows have more columns than other rows.

ie, make a table that isn't a perfect grid. like pic related.

How can i look like a cool hacker without actually knowing shit?

is there any convenient way to render a folder of PSD files to PNG or some image format without opening them individually in Photoshop?

kek thx

When declaring a variable, is there any point in not declaring it as a double? Everything I've done so far, I've just declared doubles. Is this retarded for me to do?

create multiple tables and mess with the margins

If I create my VPN, do I have to rely on a single server being online at all times, or can I make it so that another server behaves as an entry point in case of a failure or one server?

If you were running in place on an omnidirectional treadmill that was programmed to constantly move it's motors to recenter you, would you remain in place when you jumped or continue flying through the air?

Not that I know of and I'm a GD fag

doesn't work.

From my experience the best way to do this would be to use Photoshop, or Gimp and convert to a PDF

I was hesitant to install the Steam client on Linux in the past because of privacy concerns but now I think my autism might be forcing me to do otherwise. I'm not willing to set up a PCI pass-through because it's a lot of work to cut off my good GPU from the operating system I actually like. I'm thinking of using VMware and Wine for whatever I can't run natively. I'm hoping to reduce usage of Windows on bare metal to rare occasions or never but I don't think that would be possible so I need to think of ways to stop a Windows partition from messing with my Linux one.

i didn't know you could do that.

the problem is, the "client" im making this for will likely want a digital copy of the document that they can easily edit. i don't think they'll like being given a gimp file instead of a word document.

The only games I play on computer are Europa 4, and Civilitazion V

Google probably has backdoors in Android anyway so there's no real point. Encrypting won't stop bad guys from breaking your knees with a lead pipe to get your password.

Yes.

Not really laptop hinges are notoriously shitty. Either replace the screen assembly yourself or buy a new laptop and scrap that one for parts/fucking around.

It's pretty common for businesses to close down, list a colleague as a reference if you can if you're still in contact, otherwise they shouldn't care too much.

What the fuck do I do? It's Windows 7, I'm on an SSD on a Gigabyte Gaming 7 motherboard.

Just being able to run Killing Floor 2 in VMware would help a lot. It's not quite there with Wine yet.
I'll be shut out of luck with anything DirectX 11 or 12, though. that's why you needed a strategy to contain windows and prevent it from poking around my mass storage Drive and Linux partition. Also concerned Win-shit mite over right the bootloader or Linux partition.
I'd also like ways to limit what the Steam client might be able to do. I've always been a little weary of Valve since it was founded by an ex Microsoft employee.

I have a shitty HP Pavilion notebook with Ubuntu MATE running which doesn't boot unless I go into recovery mode then boot normal mode IDK I believe it's a hardware issue. Most likely corrupted HDD or electricity problems.

Use what the task requires. Why use a double if you don't need to track fractions? Why use a double when the fractions you need to track don't demand that much accuracy? What if you need to count real fucking high and don't want the floating point errors to mess your shit up? Use a long. Why use doubles to load 250mb of bytes in to memory, making the size swell to 1gb? Use what the task requires.

it looks like your drive is no longer marked bootable.
You should be able to mark it bootable within disk manager, if not, boot in to gparted and mark it bootable

My monitor has burn-in
Is there a cure?

Find a white black gradient and let it run on the screen for a few hours, after that load up a white image and leave it on for a few more hours.

How is time-to-live of network packets measured between multiple equipments?

if I install wine on a raspberry pi (a computer with an ARM processor), will x86-based Windows software run on it?

It's still marked "boot" in disk management.
