Now that the dust has settled, can we finally agree that this book is a meme? It's hopelessly outdated and was meant for experienced programmers in 70s/80s who already knew languages like Fortran. It also recommends using libraries that are no longer considered safe.

With the same amount of I/O as a digital computer (e.g mouse, keyboard, touch, display, audio, etc) an analog computer would be far more efficient. They may be seen as old relics, but they were cast aside because it was very difficult to model the circuitry to produce complex output.
I predict phones (or whatever represents the 'personal device') will be completely analog in less than 20 years.

Why are so many people still getting CS degrees when the tech industry is pretty much dead and you have an almost zero percent chance of ever getting a job now? When the dot com crash happened in the early 2000s, CS enrollment fell off a cliff, but this time it just keeps growing. Is it just delusion at this point?

4GB ram / 128GB SSD / Integrated AMD Graphics / 2 core CPU AMD

I want to start by saying that windows is now like an annoying liability to me. I never want to use windows ever again and I dread the day that I have to use some damned software that simply cannot run on Linux for whatever reason. Windows is THAT bad. My biggest problem with windows is bloat and inefficiency.

I have not suffered at all in the software department. Every single M$ specific program has a linux counterpart, and they are usually twice as capable as their Micro$oft counterpart. I'm using a Debian distribution so there's been a tailor made installer waiting for me 90% of the time that I wanted to use a certain software. Pisscord? Debian installer right next to the windows installer. Just click "install". Retro Minecraft? yes. Google Chrome? yes. Microsoft Edge? yes. MS paint clone? yes. on, and on, and on. The ONLY thing I can't get right for the life of me is an autohotkey program. They exist but the most popular one requires decent proficiency in Python. Overall, I've had NO problems "getting it done".

I've also not had any problems in figuring out what to do or where to go (thanks Cinnamon). Modern Linux unironically feels better to use than Windows. I also haven't had any problems with crashing or freezing except with this one crappy MS Paint clone. (1 crashing program out of 30 installed). Actually, it seems hard to break, I purposefully put it through the ringer by opening and closing programs right in the middle of operation and the OS doesn't react at all.

Fricken thing was easier to install than windows too. Windows seems to be rather choosy with what hardware it will except while Linux boots right up into a temporary OS on anything with a CPU. Then you can choose whether to permanently install or keep it temporary. It seems to be designed with the user in mind, rather than with profits in mind.

I hope I don't find any dealbreakers because I don't want to go back to winbloats.

Just keep using it. you will run into issues and be forced to learn. The best way to learn allot with linux is to have a use case for a server. Install Ubuntu server and ssh into it and do everything in the terminal. That is the big leap. Allot of people are scared of such an environment, its why unraid is a company.

Your issue with pulse audio is probably due to the autosuspend module, just go to the configuration file and put a # in front of it so it doesn't load by default.
Cinnamon just needs a more mature Wayland implementation, otherwise it's the best DE for someone coming from Windows.
Everything is logically laid out, the defaults are sane, and unlike a lot of other DEs it's always moving in a better direction.
Gnome and KDE often take two steps forward and one step back, sometimes a lot more steps backwards than forwards.

it is a memory safety issue with iterators in c++ because you're holding references to invalidated pointers if the collection is moved by a resize
>>
>>100199577
>trying to modify something you're iterating over
this is actually possible to solve by writing a custom iterator and is in fact a logic error
>>
>>100199220
if vector reallocates you will most likely get a segmentation fault in next PAGE_SIZE bytes and then shit yourself because people who make these nonproblems into real problems don't know how to fix them, it's greay that rust exists and so we don't have to deal with those low IQs

>>100198707
writing game code in C is as simple as it gets, in the end you quite literally do not need more abstraction than

float positions[PHYSICS_ENTITIES * 3];


And anyone who will try to argue with that is incredibly retarded, API's like OpenGL and Vulkan do not work very well even with a struct of 3 floats in C++, it's only C that has 0 aliasing rules because it is the sped of programming languages that does not care about anything besides hurr it's just like bytes of this alignment bro.

You're telling me that no one has figured out how to beat this overpriced POS with a local setup? I really have to go to Commie Internet to torrent a crack for it?

the problem is if you want all the models its around 150GB last time I checked and for me 95% of that is unneeded bloat.

>>100199569
Because Android needs a development platform phone, and that's pretty much the Pixel line. AOSP best supports the Pixel because that was what it was made for. But also, ironically Google also invested a lot of money into hardware security features that actually work, and made it so alternative OSs could actually use those features. (Like a proper verified boot that's validated by the phone's secure element, thus GrapheneOS is the *only* alternative OS that actually uses verified boot. The rest are hacks in comparsion.)

I think people here misunderstand that Google is a fairly large company with many branches, some of them with different interests.
>>
>>100199603
Google actually dosen't care if you install alternative OSs on the Pixel line, they literally made them for developers. It won't even void the warranty.

The VPN is paid, you don't disable it if you don't pay for it, and honestly I don't recall ever actually being asked to buy it from them, I've only ever seen it in the settings menu.

I didn't disable the wallet, why would I even disable it? I didn't and wouldn't.

Again, why would I even want to disable updates? I didn't and wouldn't.

It's fucking fine bro, chill. Its a project that I like trying to make some money, I have no issue with someone trying to monetise their project. If something that doesn't happen starts to happen and gets to an obtrusive level then I'll send a message to the devs saying to chill and I'll be back when I do.
