Good morning, it's Monday again, dear friends. It's time to make sure that the global chain of supply won't break, while babysitting the 10x "coders", who will ticket their c# and java code to our networking team.

>>107839466Yes
How come C# isn't more popular when it's basically Java but better? Is it because people distrust a language maintained by Microsoft, or does the JVM have non-obvious but crucial advantages over the CLR?
>>107838921C# appeared in 2000.Mono appeared in 2004.Microsoft bought it in 2016..NET 5, available for all platforms, happened in 2020.So yeah, 4 years of nothing and ENTERPRISE status acquired way later.
>>107838989What do you mean by "ENTERPRISE status" and why does it matter?
Dotnet being proprietary and single platform prevented me from having the motivation to learn it. I only did that after they released and ported core. A language isn't useful to learn or write in if computers can't execute it.I imagine I'm not alone in this. C# has existed for a long time now but I think wider spread adoption was stunted by its closed begining. So they have a lot of catching up to do in that regard compared to other languages like Java.Which is kind of frustrating for me personally because I really like PowerShell and wish I had learned it sooner. Although the utility of it and what I appreciate today is only related to the modern versions so it wouldn't have mattered then, it only matters to me now. But that means for like a decade I put 0 thought into their entire ecosystem of tools, languages, libraries, etc. and contributed nothing to it myself. I imagine some other people have had the same kind of experience.
>>107839022>What do you mean by "ENTERPRISE status"Big corp backing.>and why does it matter?Less risk of a rug pull. Bean counter approved.
>>107834381The only times I see C# being used is in video games because of Unity

Luddite cope thread
I'm trying to recover data from a Windows 98 PC, and I would like to back up the hard drive (which appears to be failing). I can still read data intermittently, and it sounds like it keeps doing repetitive seeking before it gives me data read errors and general drive read failures. The computer doesn't even detect the drive half the time, and it won't boot from that drive at all.I would like to try and boot from a Linux recovery distro and see what I can do, namely clone the failing drive before doing anything else, but the optical drive doesn't appear to be plug-and-play (I can't boot off of it because the optical drive only works after drivers are already loaded), and I couldn't get a USB stick to work, so it seems like the only option left is to boot from a 1.44MB floppy disk and get the computer to clone the hard drive itself. I've added another drive, and that one works flawlessly, so it seems only the master drive is bad.It's actually harder to get a straight answer on which linux distros you can boot from a floppy disk than I would've thought. It doesn't even matter if it has to be an old version, people are saying the wrong version number is capable of doing so (like with RIPLinuX, so I don't know which ridiculous version to use), and I'd prefer one centered on data recovery anyway.It's a "Proteva Pro Series" PC, I guess. (Not pictured.) It doesn't sound very distinct, but apparently they thought it was distinct enough to brand it that way.
>>107838276>ddrescueThis is the correct response. You need to use ddrescue to clone this drive as fully as possible to new media. Only then can you start thinking about repairing the filesystem or using something like testdisk to scan for known filetypes. I've used ddrescue multiple times to pull data from storage that was failing. So many other tools assume your storage is healthy & will crash the moment your SATA/USB/etc link drops out. ddrescue just picks up from the log file & keeps copying.
>>107838366You keep grinding at a failing drive you're going to kill it for good.Get the IDE-USB adapter OR find a computer that has IDE + SATA or whatever OR try installing an OS to another drive on that 1999 computer.Meanwhile chill (the drive, as in put it in a ziploc bag in the freezer) until you're ready to do the data rescue, sometimes that works on drives from that era.
>>107839265Everything on and about the computer says 1998, but I'm doing it right now, I just need to add more RAM cause I guess "65"MB isn't enough for Clonezilla. I'm also adding a soundcard and seeing what I can do with salvage parts.Some idiot who was in here before me put the CPU fan connector on the chassis fan output.
>>107838240Take it out and image it externally.
>>107838299>What if I don't have another computer that can interface with IDE drives,There are literally adapters out there for that purpose, anon.

Alright this is wildBefore the sale started, I had some items in my basket, total after shopping credits was £3.80 or soNow the sale has started, the exact same items cost £7.11 total after shopping credits. I knew sales were fake, but I didn't think things actually got more expensive during them. Should have just ordered when the going was good. Bah....
>>107835386>>107835474I just thought it would be funny
>>107833672Returns have been pretty good in my experience. Don't get angry with them and don't half-ass it and you'll be OK. Provide whatever pertinent photographs, videos, and background information you think is necessary. You can say something like "while the lights are all on on the device, in the device manager the value at (whatever indicates the problems) shows that blah blah blah". Essentially just explain it to them and make sure they know you aren't just too retarded to use the product.
I'm trying to wire together 6 LED bars off of one power supply, & want to use a power distribution board rather than twist the cabling together. This is the sort of thing I'm finding but it's more costly than I expected & doesn't come with any case. Does anyone have suggestions for low voltage power distribution?

Cool, I broke Google's AI.
>>107836907I've learned a lot using AI to solve leetcode problems. It can show you what you're doing wrong in your solutions and give you an overview of the correct implementations. A lot of the times I can't solve a problem but it passes a few test cases it's because I have a typo, or a minor logic error in one part of the code, and AI is great at picking that up.
>>107839243Buy an ad.
>>107839416we're in the programming threadI think everybody here knows about AII'm just being honest and sharing my experience. I didn't even mention what agent I'm using.
Every idea I have has been done 5 times now. It doesn't help my only ideas are types of social media, and I'm ready to just give up because no one gives a fuck.Seriously though, is there any point in trying to become successful? I could just build stuff that makes me happy and I can feel proud of, instead of caring what others think and stress myself out with users.
>>107838509Well to elaborate, I think you should try programming more for the fun of it than to make something that will be used by others. Being a "good" software developer isn't something that neccessarily that makes you wealthy, it's more about riding trends and appealing to the masses.Make something challenging but within your skill level. Learn C or some other language that's closer to hardware. Or perhaps learn about old CPUs and write assembly.
>>107838014>Every idea I have has been done 5 times now.That means it's a good idea, as it has succeeded several times already.>It doesn't help my only ideas are types of social mediaSocial media has the chicken/egg problem. You need new users, but nobody is joining because the place is empty.>Seriously though, is there any point in trying to become successful?The system is rigged. You can work hard to become successful, and maybe you will be. Someone else can just go to the bank, get a pile of tax free income called a "loan" and just buy success.
>>107838014Is your idea to make some big multi million user application? Well of course it's going to be done to death. Big corpos have a monopoly on that sort of thing. Return to tradition with the old internet way of doing things, just make websites for things you like and for small communities you want to cultivate. Fuck mass appeal.
>>107838549I don't try to compete with big social media, but even a niche community is a PIA to moderate. Being a janny is a huge toll on mental health and anything I build must either be zero moderation effort or have an extremely high entry barrier to post. I already have some ideas but it's just so demotivating knowing a functional site won't get me a job/secure a good future because literally nobody gives a fuck! HR karens don't care what I learned and what I'm capable of
>>107838014If you want users, you'll have to target the audience of short form content. Under 1 minute, and jumping from one video to the next, minimal permanence with nothing being memorable, but the majority love it, so that seems to be the future.But if you don't want to moderate, then it'd be best to sell the tools and services of an opportunity, rather than deal with that headache yourself, assuming then that there are enough people with a vision out there to know what to do with your software tools.Regardless, finding success alone is near impossible, and working together with someone is a must.
