What is better: a 14" or a 16" MacBook Pro? I can't decide. It's unironically too difficult to decide. On one hand, I would prefer the larger display, on the other hand I use my laptop exclusively when I can't use my PC to do something, which means I need a laptop for use around the house and carry it outside first and foremost. I absolutely do not want to use an external monitor almost ever though.
>>107857563Anon, I...
>>107850587The only laptops that are comfortable for some actual work are the 17 inch ones, which are too big to be easily portable anymore.For things that aren't work (or gaming, i guess) or are just looking at pdfs, the size of the screen doesn't matter much. Imo it is always best to go for the 14 inch.
>>107857775Even 15" feels pretty big, especially if you have one that is built to do shit and has fans.
>>107850587neither, get a real computer
>>10785058716" laptops are too big for my tiny faggot hands and thighs
Jewgle added support for JXL now. Daiz on suicide watch as he's behind every shill post against JXLhttps://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/7184969
>>107854261avif is going to be rendered like hot garbage when (1) an embedded device you use does not have the die space dedicated to decoding av1, or you don't have the drivers to use the media decoders (linux mainline), or (2) the format is old and busted and nobody adds a dedicated encoder for av1 (and vp8/9) anymore because they have to contend with allocating massive die spaces for av3, av4, av5, av6 and av7.
>>107857654AV1 is supposed to be the next H.264 but ARM hardware support for it is lagging pretty badly. Maybe only like 10% of phones/tablets seem to be able to hardware decode AVIF right now. To be fair this isn't AV1's fault, it charges $0 royalty fees so it's not clear why everyone isn't adopting it yet.
>>107857700the royalties were always inconsequential next to the NRE cost of designing the silicon. the only stakeholder with which the royalties can be considered substantial are the cloud middlemen, hence why it needs to be shilled.
>>107857700i dunno, daiz. it's definitely not because your favorite video codec tel avif is slow as shit.
I'll start using jixels when 4chinz supports it

Why the fuck is it ALWAYS a jeet under "meet the hiring team" on LinkedIn job posts? How did these vermin manage to infest every single facet of the tech industry in America?
I've grown to enjoy the interview processI fucking love it. I'm in love with the game. GIVE ME MORE REJECTIONS SO I CAN GO THROUGH MORE INTERVIEWS
>>107857029They hire each other. Most people have not figured out that getting a job 99.999% of the time boils down to whether or not you know someone, or know someone who knows someone. The first wave of jeets undercut the white employees (if not getting them fired outright) and hoarded knowledge like dragons. Then they just began hiring each other. They are allowed to be openly prejudiced because guys like Trump and Elon use them as a sycophantic slave caste.

>>107855592become a silo of knowledge duhtake control of one aspect of the system, let no one else work on it -> then they must rely on youalso secrets/password maintenance
>>107855592Boss can't be arsed to juggle TOTP tokens and long ass passwords so I basically manage and pay for all the infrastructure, I get reimbursed at the of the month of course but even the domain names are in my possession.
>>107855592accumulate control over essential functions and refuse to divulge information about how they work to other employeesthis works best if you're otherwise likeable and very availableif you take a lot of time off or are just kind of a shit, you'll get a lot of pressure to train fellow employees in your arcane knowledge, and preventing being forced into doing that, you'll have to employ a lot of hemming and hawing and obfuscation and misdirection>ahh, yeah, well, it's really complicated, and i don't think Jenkins has the time to learn that>oh, yeah, i've been thinking about that in terms of the company's overall knowledge management effort, hey, where is that anyway?>ooh, sorry, i know what needs to be done, but i'm working at 110% already to get it done, and i don't have the time to train someone on top of thatit often involves some very nasty office politics, as well

Unusable because of compile times
>>107857556with some effort, yeah, potentially faster.Typically you'd use the reference compiler for development which is a bit slower in program performance but faster to build.Then you use LDC for release builds (LLVM backend).Check out https://github.com/AuburnSoundsWhich is a guy doing audio processing and VST stuff in D.
>>107855610Because dynamic libraries are retarded, cniles should be executed.
>>107856736They look different and better or something so complexity is worth it, chud.
>>107857265>C with GNU extensionsso you mean to tell me that you shamelessly use C++ features, but with shittier syntax to pretend that you aren't?Smartest Cucknile.
>>107857580neat, looks goodlooks like a more sane C++

I hate so fucking much that my sisters have uploaded pictures with me in them to their Shitstagram postsI don't even care if they are deleted, because they're already in the Cuckerberg system.FUCKBut whatever. Minimize my own data leakage rather than cry of spilt milk.
>>107857622*cry over
>>107857436Translation: Jews asked their professors student names because professor who has to teach you politics got in through nepotism and will do as they say or get booted too.

Have two laptops, one runs mint. Want to put something else on the other. pic related. Have used OpenBSD on VPS, liked it. Does it werx on desktop? Just use browser, GIMP, and terminal mostly.
>>107851954in my experience on my desktop openbsd worked better, several things on freebsd didnt work where they worked perfectly out of the box on openbsd, like the media keys on my keyboard, suspending and even rebooting lmaoon freebsd when rebooting it just hangs forever unless i hit the power button to shut it down and it also doesnt wake up from suspending, i just get a black screen and have to force a shutdown to fix it
Use freebsd. It's faster.
>>107851802OpenBSD works really good on laptops since devs dogfood it with their own setups. You may have to poke around with mixerctl to get audio working if it doesn't work out of the box
>>107851802https://www.ghostbsd.org/
>>107851802Unironically, put hackintosh.
This will change everything.

From your phone's wifi and cellular modem, to a wirelss chromecast for your tv, to the wifi router in your room, to the wifi card on your desktop gaming computer, do you ever wonder if all of this stuff is bad for us if it's working all at once?
>>107857491read this againviolent wave radiation is the issue. the whole ionizing or non ionizing debate is a red herring.>>107857072
>>107857511>I don't need to know physics, just use common sense>it looks pointy on a graph, that means it pierces the skin and destroys DNA, qed
>>107857596If you need to handpick scientific studies to have your world make sense, I'm not going to stop you.
>>107857511It really isn't a red herring. Frequencies are the difference between a light bulb and an x-ray.
>>107857708You don't need studies, "basic" (not in the US) knowledge about how EM fields and waves work is enough. >>107857721
>filesystems should be tag based, not directory based!!!!!No ones stopping you from having the same file in multiple directories with hard links.

>>107857298ls -i and find / -deleteMake it an alias/function if you want
>>107857383>ls -i and find / -deleteThat could take hours if you have a lot of files.
>>107857244No ones stopping you from putting literally every file in a single directory.
Nobody is stopping you from implementing tag based filesystem to show me how good they are.

>>107855892this guy fucks
>>107855892Or he can just start stealing stuff from work. Start with a ram stick or two on any pc with multiple ram sticks. Start looking for valuable stuff to steal to make up for when they lay you off.
>>107855892That's stupid. Just shoot the CEO in the face.
>>107855892Nice try sneaking the union shit in there commie faggot. Fuck off.
>>107854606If any of my employees were on 4chan, I'd try to replace them too.
I'm an automation engineer/chaos magician and I finally have proof that macOS is better than Linux. The catbox below is a servitor I made. It is a foul demon that takes control of my laptop and makes it do things like comment on 4chan. The video is a demo. Bout to refactor it so I can pass in the name of any 4chan thread I want. It uses applescript. In other words, no lincucks allowed.https://files.catbox.moe/lat9bf.webm

How do I git gud at using one of these? I want to use it for financial calculations when I'm out for fun.>inb4 autismthis is /g/.I actually find the RPN worse than a normal calculator, I know it's supposed to be faster when you get good at it or something but it seems like it's just more key presses for the same calcuations. Did I fuck up and should I have gotten a 12C platinum??
>>107857632I use my 12C to calculate the data I'm putting into my smartphone. For example if I ate 295 calories for lunch and 1260 for dinner, and burned 900 calories at work. You could have cells for this, but that's annoying if you're tracking for every day of the month.
>>107855235You don't. You catch up and join the rest of us in the 21st century, Grandpa. We have these fancy little devices now call cell phones and they are basically small computers. Try one some time
>>107857644no
>>107857647yes
>>107857674that's no fun, also it's botnet and satanicyou have been warned
