Python was my "gateway drug" into Lisp. I really loved Python -except for its execution speed, which I lamented from the beginning- until discovered Lisp and now I cringe at the many things lacking in Python.

the standard defense of python used to be "it's good for data science and stuff" but it turns out that R is better for that in pretty much every way

what should I upscale for the classics event on emp 2005 or earlier? I can't make up my mind and i'm also not sure which is the overall best method to upscale content yet.
If I have to use the starlight model it's going to take 1-2 days to render.
I deleted my collection of dvd isos a while ago to save space but they are all still seeded. i fucking love emp.

>Gaming performance on nvidia cards is just hands down better most of the time on Windows
Yes, and I blame nvidia for this
>>106476999
>why the switch?
Well, for instance I have a gaming laptop (I know) with nvidia and it sucks big time on Linux although it has improved a bit with Wayland but is still a pain. Contrary to Windows where it just works (Not Linux's fault tho).
Now, my work laptop has Win11 which I can't change, and, I like to have my personal laptop alongside my work laptop, I use synergy/input-leap/barrier for input sharing and it just doesn't work as well between Linux-Windows compared to Windows-Windows (clipboard doesn't work under Wayland, language switching is problematic, and more)

Also there are a couple of extras that made me switch like:
>WSL
>bundled SSH/SFTP utils
>winget
Keep in mind that even though I'm daily driving Windows but my servers still operate under Linux and I develop software that runs under Linux

>>106477981
for experimenting, I'd recommend starting from the bare minimum (e.g. one sentence, "You are {{char}}" or w/e your favorite setup is) to see how the model acts by default and then adding instructions or info to address things it isn't already doing naturally. most of the sysprompts I use grow through this process and then I trim them down to something more concise and focused as I get to know the model better.
>>106478000
I've never used that model but your current prompt looks ok to me (any single-paragraph sysprompt generally can't be *that* bad) but personally I'm wary of the word "creative" in model instructions, I find it's often a massive slop attractor since their understanding is creativity is "use a lot of incoherent metaphors" rather than "have some sovl and make interesting and unexpected things happen". you also probably don't need to tell the model to use the information in the card, that type of instruction is unlikely to be harmful but when you think about it it's just kind of useless, I bet you can remove it without noticing a thing

Maybe what you're looking for is Oxygen theme in KDE Plasma? It's still fully supported in KDE Plasma 6, you just have to install a separate distro package, usually called "plasma-oxygen" or so, then switch your theme and icons to it. Unlike the other bullshit Plasma themes you get from the "Plasma store", this one is actually well made because it used to be the main theme.

>>106478347
Haiku is also a good option, will be amazing when it releases. Unfortunately it won't really be able to handle gaming, but for web browsing, media playback, stuff like that it will be phenomenal.

computer science isn't dead, but it's less about computers and significantly more about computics and computations. if you wanted to study computers, you should pick instead computer engineering.

>>106476970
unfortunately for you CS undergrad degrees are flooded with people in it to make money
this also applies to Computer Engineering (I'm in this program right now)
I would suggest looking at what programs are offered at your university and transferring to the most niche thing you have a real interest in
I have a friend who did that and now he's a national park ranger

>>106476970
Pick math, and read the comsci textbooks.

>>106477000
i remember hearing this exact thing from a department head shilling the degree to us in orientation. software qa, testing, and dev are where 99% of the jobs are for the degree.
sometimes it wouldnt hurt to be pessimistic about your luck when every piece of information available to you is saying that you will be unemployed.

>>106476970
>how computer science is dead

CS is as alive as ever.

The LLM ("AI") revolution of today? A recent discovery in computer science -- Transformers.

Quite the opposite, bootcampers are gonna get with low wage or no jobs, fucking "coders" are also gonna get out of the market, what will remain is the CS people who really understand all the fundamentals underneath.

You can quit. At. Any. Time.
McDonald's is right. there. if you'd rather.

High paying jobs are competitive, that's why they're high-paying jobs. So yes, you are being compared to all the other applicants on every metric. Including whether you had to "take time off for myself because I'm a snowflake that might flake out any day". A red flag is a red flag, deal with it.

Is there absolutely any market for doing short term gigs for cash? I'm bored as fuck in my day job. We're basically getting merged and all feature dev stopped. I'm basically just watching Anime. I want to build up a bit of fun money.

I didn't go and get the yeti-blue microphone from upstairs, because whenever I post something here I get this response:

So I didn't see the point in going upstairs to plug in the yeti, and just used the laptop microphone instead.

>Clojure IS Java, soooooo....

It is also not exactly Lisp.

But I guess it fits the bill for corporate dev

I bought a backup and backed up my stuff a little while ago, feels like I should backup again.
How are you supposed to do this? I feel retarded but I'm confused about whether people just delete the previous backups and do it over again or if there's some program that has an automatically updating backup system.
I bought some seagate backup drive but I don't remember it ever mentioning automatic backing up.

>>106478106
It's called incremental backup. Look at borg or restic
The way it works is it saves exactly the changes that happened between the last time you backed up and now. So you get the ability to keep both as checkpoints that you can restore, but without duplicating an entire second copy.

If you set it automatic backups then you can also set it up so it keeps e.g. daily checkpoints for the last week, then weekly checkpoints for the month before, etc... with auto-cleanup of older checkpoints to make it take even less space while keeping letting you rollback to an exact time for recent backups. But if you're just occasionally backing up by hand then you don't need to overcomplicate it, it'll just make a new snapshot on every backup

>>106478106
Also I should add, if you just want a single copy that's kept up to date then something like rsync would be the tool to use, though if you're on windows or something then I dunno. But that's less safe than proper incremental backups, because if e.g. you delete a bunch of files and then take a new backup and then realise whoops you needed those files, that's exactly what backups are for, but if you "backup" by updating an exact copy then those files will be gone too. Or if some files corrupt and you don't notice at first and overwrite your backup. Etc. etc.

What is the best resource to prep for this? I'm starting OverTheWire, I've done a few traditional CTF challenges on HackTheBox but I've never done something like this where the challenge is to navigate around a Linux server

>>106477672

OpenWRT kept explicitly blocking the user agent of my ~30 user extension, so I had to generate a random user agent.

>>106477727
it's only easily bypassed if the server employing it doesn't appropriately protect their assets.
anyway, proof of work is the only way to dissuade bots without other techniques like web of trust of humans, which people are simply too fucking retarded to enact. sucks to suck bitch, you WILL solve the mathematical challenge or you WILL fuck off

>>106477727
>It doesn't even work and is easily bypassed, also corpos have an infinite amount of IPs and all they need to do is solve once and cycle to "play nice".
I haven't looked into how this system works on a deep level, but I assume that each challenge solution is only valid for a limited number of requests, so they wouldn't be able to do what you're describing.
Anyway, the point of "PoW DoS protection" is just to make it more expensive and difficult to carry out a denial of service attack. It's not necessarily to stop corporations from scraping your site. It's to keep them from taking it offline.

>>106478279
except it punishes users especially those on phones far more than scrapers. it's cutting off your nose to spite your face
the REAL solution is largely just geoblocking third worlders where these bots come from, but lots of the tech world is too leftist/idealitstic to just block thirdies

posting about phones in the smartphone general is not spam. you just don't like certain phones. idc.
