here's your anime recluse fan artist enthusiast hardware + youtube and netflix machine, half a computer and truly never useful

only instance where a tablet would fit could be if you're taken to the psych ward and you need a passtime, usually they let you keep just that and a phone, it might be okay for taking notes during a college class with the cool $150 pen

my brother has an ipad and he slowly stopped using it, they are so fucking useless, literal buyer's remorse

It depends on their use case, there's a reason as to why they didn't replace laptops, but also stick around and haven't died, if you're someone who needs desktop applications and features, then it really isn't for you, but if your work and daily life doesn't require that and/or you want something to draw on, read books or comics/manga, or just consume media in general, they're just excellent.

Again, it depends on you and how you're going to use it, a tablet could either be genuinely useless, or the best device for you. I'm torn on them, but I think I'll get one this year just to see if I'm into it.

I always had a problem executing fighting game combos on PSX controllers.

Personally I think the XBox 360 is the perfect balance for game controllers. All it needs is hall effect analog thumbs. And the XInput API is very comfy.

However, just about every controller after the NES original will shatter from cheap plastic. The glowclowns who run the industry want you spending $50 every time you get angry.

There are no controllers where thumbsticks rest above d-pad and face buttons, and it makes me mad.

Wii U Pro Controller does this. Sadly it's not very good for other reasons, such as an especially shit D-Pad and fragile bumpers that don't properly make contact so you have to press harder than the actuation suggests. I don't understand how they got this all correct on the Wii U screen gamepad (especially the D-Pad which was great!) and then fucked it all up on their pro controller. All they had to do was not change the underlying mechanisms but they did it anyway.

honestly, im going to move back to FVWM after seeing >>100525035 because the page scroll feature looks so nice, and my bar is simpler now so it wont be too much of a annoyance with FvwmButtons; but, ive had a good experience with awesomewm so far. window manager isnt really that important to me but i found configuring wibar/wibox to be way easier than the shit i was doing with fvwm. i WISH fvwm had https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/classes/awful.widget.watch.html this, i was doing super hacky shit to try to get a functioning notification notice in bar lmao. while i think FVWM flips from being extremely intuitive to annoying dsl shit there is a consistent level of annoyingness and difficulty in AWM and needing to navigate lua is kind of a headache for simple stuff even just changing wallpaper. i think i eventually want to move back to FVWM since i want to do a config in fennel(lisp language that can be used in place of lua) but that pagescroll feature was enough to get me to switch back lol.

You might even be able to script something to set a scroll target and smoothscroll over time or something, but I haven't messed with it beyond this. It works fine for me as is.

As an AAPL shareholder but not a user of any Apple products I think that not only should they not put MacOS on the iPad but they should triple the price of both devices. Apple fantards would still pay it for the perceived prestige of owning an Apple product and the company's market cap would triple as well. Also triple the price of all services

why there is no standard for dividing by 0 in programming?
>python throws error
>js returns infinity
>c returns some random number
4 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>100539602
No. That's a retarded statement. Math isn't fiction, Infinity isn't a number and you can't evaluate a function ,which is what division has to be defined as in a programming language, to two values. It's not a function otherwise. We call such functions not defined at the particular value, which is the correct answer mathematically, and that means practically that the language has complete freedom what to return, because it is bound by it's design to evaluate it to something, but what that something should be is not defined.
Your fanfiction that -∞ = ∞ has no basis in real mathematics outside of certain niches where the results are analogous for both and thus can be treated as functional equivalents.
>>
>>100539671
your irrelevant academiatrannying has no relevance in real world where people need to get shit done, dividing by zero being infinity with a design specific to the context works everywhere

Becasue what is good for 99% of cases - throwing error (out-of-band exception handling in IEEE 754 terms), does not fit 1% case of high-perfomance number mulching (in which case passing errors from FPU to general purpose CPU becomes too expensive). So IEEE 754 describes different options, and languages either take 99% option (Python), refuse to choose (division by floating point zero is UB in standard C) or declare whenever C compiler used by Eich was doing in 1995 as a standard (javascript)

>you can't simply go and fuck with the explicit parentheses put by the user. They're there for a reason.
If the language specification says that parenthesis are there only for grouping the expression, you can (in an associative operator). If it says they define the order of evaluation then you can't. All the more reason not to have side effects in your language. If you have side effects
f() + (g() + h())

Should f be called first or g? Does the programmer intend that the parenthesis should be computed before anything else? If the language specifies something like that then g and h must be avluated before f. However with no side effects you can evaluate them even at the same time. And it's dumb to express side effect order with parenthesis. Just express them imperatively
x = g();
y = h();
z = f();
z + x + y

Also C says it's undefined behavior so it avoids giving an answer to the order of evalution all together and blatantly tells you parenthesis are to be ignored besides grouping expressions

NAI is malleable and pattern sensitive. It's not repeating the adverbs, it's repeating the sentence structure that you're providing it in every message, which includes adverbs being placed probably in the same place in most sentences repeatedly. Even something as simple as shuffling around the order of the words every message or two, or putting dialogue first occasionally, is enough to avoid any pattern looping.
When I was having that issue I could barely make it to a hundred message before it became unusable, but just the barest effort to add variety was enough to effectively eliminate the problem.
