Shit's either old and books are outdated or new and Microsoft moved on and therefore abandoned and without people writing about it.

i don't think microsoft even maintains their official windows api code samples repo that well
just go through some of the concept related dev docs covering areas you need and google "how to do <thing> in win32"
win32 is the original name of what MS now just calls the windows API, lots of people still call it that, using that instead of windows tends to bring up programming documentation instead of IT and helpdesk stuff
raymond chen's blog https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/ has a lot of very interesting/useful information on it

no modern resources exist that actually properly cover modern shit like c++/winrt even the windowsappsdk means windows runtime stuff is accessible to normal non-UWP win32 programs though the days of it being UWP exclusive
wil is the modern "normal" helper c++ library for normal windows programs not touching c++/winrt meant to replace the really old c++ pre-standardization dogshit libraries like atl or mfc which most popular "recommended" windows programming resources will still sometimes touch

I want to remove *all copies* of any non-unique item from a list (i.e. [1,2,1,3,4] -> [2,3,4]). There's gotta be a function in here that can do that without needing a for loop, r...right?
>>
>>106499298
in python this is just
rem_non_unique = lambda l: [i for i in l if __import__('collections').Counter(l)[i] == 1]

>>106499298
It's trivial to do but it's not as efficient as using a for loop so fuck off, nocoder. I'm not going to write garbage and suboptimal code just because some mentally ill subhuman asked me to.

Computers used to be great. Even just starting them up used to be an entire event. It was both exciting and calming all at the same time.

Now, modern PCs startup within 10 seconds after which you're constantly bombarded with ads every 30 seconds.

What are /g/ approved drawing tablet brands? Jewcom is overpriced, and Xencelabs is trying to be Jewcom v2.0. What do you think about XP-Pen and Huion?

That was such a fucking weird mango.

just a tip for anyone actually thinking of getting a tablet, if you set up notifications you can find them for absolutely DIRT cheap used on ebay.
sometimes they're practically brand new and some company just got one from amazon returns and is reselling it.
i got a $600 tablet for $20 because the seller thought it was broken (he was plugging the cables in wrong so it didn't appear to work).
you can gamble on like 20 "broken" tablets before you even approach the retail price of a new one.

>>106499472
QRD?
>>
>>106491806
The real question is whether there's anything good for drawing on GNU/Linux. Krita exists but I literally don't see anyone using it at all on Windows, which implies that superior options exist.
>>
>>106491806
Unironically buy an iPad and apple pencil. It minimizes the barrier to drawing.


XP-pen is fine but I only have experience with their non-screen tablets. Good value for money. Huion's okay

Lifetime windows user here
I just bought a new laptop with linux debian 13 and I regret it now because I started fearing security issues for someone who is not an expert. I should have probably bought a mac.

My goal is the highest security and privacy without the need to be a highly technical user

Should I just install windows on it and maybe get a mac later?

well it is stable software not bleeding edge, if I use debian for a desktop OS (which I barely ever do) I'd install flatpak and get bleeding edge browsers.

install bazzite
>>
>>106499763
that's not the problem here. ubuntu lts and debian stable are basically the same age but only debian has this problem.
the problem is that debian policy says no to bundling of any dependencies. apps are supposed to use debian's system libraries. firefox upstream doesn't care about that and just bundles all their dependencies. this causes issues.
>>
>>106499830
>that's not the problem here
>continues to complain
it's called static compiling, and it's a good thing in a lot of software, cuz shit breaks without it.
It is one reason why debians firefox, iceweasel, has always sucked

I want to program my own indie game without any spaghetti code, what books should I read for this? I already understand some of the basics like: functions, classes, variables, and callbacks but I don't know how to structure and plan out my code, so I always feel lost. I basically never know what the best course of action is. I also code in c# but I assume that's probably not relevant since I'm not asking for language specific advice.

Theoretically, can you completely de-India your computer by only using software without any Indian commits? Linus removed all Russian code from the Linux kernel, so something like this is certainly doable.

What's a good base to start with for building a non-Indian OS under a free licence? Arch?

You should read the spec someday. It's fucking insane. You cannot make any sane assumption's about the most basic behaviour because the spec VIL have the most retarded, contrarian hardcoded specific behaviour with 0 usecase in there. Other than that it's alright, but that alone is retarded. I just love flash, so I have to begrudgingly accept ActionScript as something I use but ultimately I use P-code wherever I can.
