Any developers here have tried both a modern OSX and Linux as a dev environment want share their experiences? Perhaps not like the technical shortcomings of one or the other, but just how it "felt"? i guess? Was it easier to keep working and not get distracted in one or the other? stuff like that perhaps?

I'm easily distracted by all the things you can change and tinker with, especially how pretty you can make a Linux distro, so im considering trying OSX for a change but would like to hear some user opinions first

What's the point of exif data if it gets scrubbed with any slight alteration? Even just uploading somewhere is likely to get rid of all relevant metadata.

Co-worker was asking me to help "track" his gf through facebook pictures. I stupidly suggested just bringing up the picture's embedded gps information. like I know what the fuck I'm talking about. I swear, just because I browse this shit site does not make me a l33t haxxor. Dumb normalfags.

Just use Ubuntu and uninstall all the tweak tools.

The image on the search page is scaled down, no?
In any case, you should be using Yandex image search for images. Not sure if they care about robots.txt at all, but their crawler isn't caught by google user agent and they don't remove results on request.
You can't find playboy centerfolds on google images but you can on yandex images, for example.

The captcha is trying to account for that confusion filter now.

>The image on the search page is scaled down
not if you click on it and then open the bigger pic that pops up.
i'm also not going to use a fucking russian search, i got my privacy raped to hell and back with google, switching to yander would just double the issue.

>Right click -> view image works still, i don't get why they would even bother.
Why bother?
>slow/unstable internet makes the full res image stop loading.
>some websites fuck with the googlebot to make it fetch the scaled down image instead.
>some websites allow googlebot to fetch content that is otherwise inaccessible unless you create an account (to advertise their website)
>don't want to go through a journey on a fucking unknown/useless website, forum or twitter account to find the image I want.
That being said, I have't used any script/extension to get it back because I haven't used google images in a long time.
If there isn't any working method, I am willing to make one. It should be pretty simple.

Can cats feel human emotions like hunger or pain?

Extremely retarded question incoming.
Can you partition a SSD drive into two partitions, Install and whatever, and then restore a backup image of the the install partition given that SSDs move data around for wear levelling?

Never used an SSD, but on my HDD I always image (with Clonezilla) the install partition after a clean install (and then a new one after core programs are installed) so I can be back up and running in 30 minutes if the need arises for a reinstall.

My googling only shows up people wanting to clone from HDD to SSD, or SSD to another SSD.

Emotions aren't exclusive to human beings.

Were you using a browser? Does it occur after opening/doing certain things?

Just starting to learn C++. Right now this is all I have, now if I press ctrl + f5 does this just run consoleapplication3.cpp or does it run every folder in my source files? I'm just curious how exactly it knows that sub.cpp exists and how it knows to read that. In my header.h I have

#ifndef ADD_H
#define ADD_H

int add(int x, int y);
int sub(int x, int y);

#endif

Forgot the picture because I'm stupid.

You have to use it (#include in entry point) for it (compilation unit) to be used unless you are building a library.

I include the header.h but all that does it give a command of

int sub(int x, int y)

which to my knowledge (which is very little) doesn't tell the program where to look. However with just this the program does compile and I just don't understand how it knew where to look for the sub.cpp

Attached: header.png (1052x438, 12K)

#include look for the header file and its implementation if any.
You will get an error if the header file doesn't exist or is in a different path.
E,g: #include "folder/myheader.h"

I think I convoluted my question. Lets say I make a file named sub.cpp and made a function inside of it named sub. Then I make a new file named main.cpp. If I put sub(int x, int y); at the start of main.cpp it will somehow find sub.cpp and read it. I'm asking how does it know to look for sub.cpp?

Can anyone reccomend a good book to start with Ruby and object programming in general?
I only wrote Bash scripts until now and I was never really good at it.

Does GOMAD really work?

Read up on compilation units and use the compiler from the command line to understand what the IDE is doing behind your back.
Basically the cmpilation command will include your cpp files(implementation) and headers(definitions).

dont, OOP/RAII is terrible, scripting languages are trash. learn C or - if you're set on OOP - C#

Listen, you haven't even asked me why I need to learn Ruby.
If you believe that C/C# is an answer for everything - you think wrong.
I need it for tests and minor development around orchestration tools.

I mean, besides the obvious, yandex lets you directly view images; yandex reverse image search actually works, unlike google who seems to have now gutted that feature

I asked in the thread before, I'll try it again one more time.
MPC-HC lags when I start any clip in it. I thought it was because of some other program I run and it fucks with it, but this can happen right after startup or not happen at all. I have to wait a solid 15 seconds for the videoclip to start.
So far tried a clean reinstall, fiddiling around with the options as some people suggestod on forums, nothing helped. Running win 8.1. Anyone has an idea on how to fix it?
Alternatively, can you recommend some player that's closest to MPC-HC?

>but share the code only when asked?
Yes.

If you never hand out the compiles of your modified version then you don't have to share your modifications at all.
(This true of GPLv2, not sure about GPLv3.)

>i don't feel comfortable in sharing my code
Why not modify something that has a BSD licence instead?

is there any reason not to disable all of these?

Maybe it's currently configured to buffer in megabits and megabits of video and you're trying pull all this data over a usb2 connection?

Maybe it's configured to use/not-use built-in fonts and has to spend a long time thinking about it all.

Well works for me.

>have 16 gb of ram
>computer runs fine and ram usage never goes about 7.5 gb
>make 8 gb ramdisk
>computer becomes slow as shit
explain

does decreasing the size of the ramdisk make it go at normal speed?
try decreasing a bit at a time and see if there's a correlation.
it might be the fact that your pc goes into page file for some reason even though you aren't using 100% ram

tried that, making smaller ramdisks doesn't make my computer as slow but the file i'm storing in ramdisk is ~7.8 gb

Can I make 2 hard drive partitions, move all my personal shit into one partition and install windows in the other partition?

So if for some reason Windows decides to magically shit the bed I can reinstall / replace without having to reformat the whole hard drive because Windows is a bitch.

Also what's the worst-case-scenario space I'd need for the OS partition?

Is it safe to use eMule in the UK?

that's usually how you'd install windows, 30gigs /worstcase? 50 should be enough/ for c:\ and everything else for d:\

You plug one end into your computer, the other end into your monitor.

Does this actually work (with Windows 10) or is this guy bullshitting?

I read in my algorithms course materials that the amortized complexity of a Delete(node) operation on a red-black tree is constant. What's the logic behind that?
I understand that fixing the RB properties after removing a node takes at most operations, so you can pay for it by taking the credits of the node you're removing, but don't you still need to traverse the tree in order to find the node, which is in O(log(n))?
I feel like a fucking idiot probably missing something obvious, because all the explanations I've found don't mention the tree traversal at all.

Stupid question/tech support two-fer!

I have been using Pale Moon and it's working fine... mostly. It's pretty much my only choice because it uses far, far less RAM than any other normie browser. But it has a really annoying habit: once the RAM being used reaches a certain point (about 6GB of my 8GB), it has frequent slowdowns and temporary freezes. I check Task Manager and every single time, there's still plenty of RAM to use and the processor barely tics above 0%. The RAM just keeps bobbing up and down continuously while PM is frozen. Sometimes the RAM used drops some 300MB+ precipitously and the freezes stop, at least until it reaches about 6GB again.

I imagined maybe it was minimizing memory or something, but no, the freezes last too long and are too frequent until I get that lucky 300MB+ drop in used RAM drop.

If there's plenty of resources available, what the hell could be causing it to slow down like that?

I have a built in fan controller in my case with 3 connectors. It's just a L/M/H switch powered by SATA. I have 5 fans running off it right now and I've noticed each additional fan lowers the speed, when I added the fifth fan Low and Medium settings don't even spin the fans up anymore, just on high.

Do I need more power, more fan controllers or is it a series vs parallel thing? btw I don't want one of those stupidly expensive 5.25" controllers.
