>>107813781*drove. I am an idiot.I want to ask a question to vim users here. How good you guys are with regular expressions? I never had to use them regularly, so I always relearn them again when I have to use them.
>>107813829>How good you guys are with regular expressions?I find them to be very easy. If you ignore the advanced features, it's just '.', '*', '+', '?', '(,)', '{,}', '[,]', and '(,)'. Advanced features are a little annoying because they're not consistent between different implementations, but I think the only such features I use are some character classes and word boundaries.
I've tried to switch to NeoVim so many times but the setup process is so unbelievably stupid that I always end up back in Vim
>>107813893I use \w , \d and \S quite a lot besides the basics and that's often enough for me. And ^ and $ too of course.
>>107814107also having incsearch and hlsearch turned on helps some since you literally see what gets caught by the regular expression

>>107812401What if I want to do something more complex than just a baby's first text editor or a shell command wrapper?Also are you referring to the initial startup times? You are right that GPU resource allocation and upload takes time but overall processing power usage and efficiency is increased as that is a one time increase. That is, if you're not busting GskCairoNodes everywhere, which are required to draw on every draw queue call and are then uploaded to GPU, for ever frame.And even that specific one time hit could be eliminated for very common programs like nautilus by becoming a background app. That way even when the window is seemingly closed and reopened you don't have to reallocate and reupload GPU resources as you never gave up on them.

>>107809319I was moreso refferencing the fact that the existance of qt absolutely deprecates gtk for the end user, but there is some (limited) validity to what you said

Ronald Whyte was the federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California who handled much of the Sun vs. Microsoft dispute over Java in the late 1990s.He issued a preliminary injunction in 1998 that ordered Microsoft to stop distributing versions of its Windows‑specific Java that failed Sun’s compatibility tests.Whyte’s rulings were key in forcing Microsoft to back away from “polluted” Java extensions and comply with the original Java licensing terms.

>>107807468For this distro, it quite literally is just plug and play. Buy an SSD and install MX Linux. I don’t know why, but Linux Mint Xfce felt slow compared to MX Linux, and I have a Celeron processor for that computer. Maybe a systemd thing

I have Arch with i3 as my window manager, doing fine as a collegefag with 8gb's of RAM (DDR4). I also have a used Acer (Aspire 3) that wouldn't even boot properly with Windows, you had to reboot the damn thing like 3 times before it would start normally. After I got Arch on it, it would crash sometimes and I didn't know why. Checked the logs and found nothing. Then one day a firmware update for the AMD processor and integrated graphics came and the crashing stopped.Try to find another stick of DDR3 if you can. I also had XFCE in the beginning, but switched to i3 because I liked how it would split the screen into 2 equal windows automatically. This shit by itself is so useful for me.Try i3, maybe you'll like it. Or if you're on Wayland, get Sway or whatever other tiling window manager. I have no need for fancy animations so I'm sticking with i3.Be aware that i3 does require some tinkering, but their site has good documentation. In essence, you will just have to edit the i3 configuration file if you want to use it.Best of luck and don't remove your installation medium until the OS is installed.

>>107775829It's okay if it is actually a 3 button mouse, which are rare these days. Most of them either have the third button by pressing the left and right buttons together, or have the button under the scroll wheel, both of which can sometimes lead to accidental pastes.

>>107813981I spent most of my life watching YIFY rips and once I saw a bluray remux with all of the film grain included I never looked back
>>107814730Okay, you got a point. I can't think of any better arguments, so thank you for taking me out of the blue here. Still, piracy was always an act of resistance against the system, so I can't imagine how a rich person would get into that anyway. Maybe a cinephile? But wouldn't they be interested more in the movie plot then the quality itself?
what's the best version of Star Trek (VOY and DS9) I could get on private trackers? officialy, there is no bluray edition, and the highest I saw were H265x encodes of tv recordings, suprisingly.
>>107814778There's more to modern luxury piracy. You can have Plex or Jellyfin allow you to conveniently access this content from disparate sources using a familiar Netflix like interface. You can allow your friends and family access to it to. It has massive advantages over having a collection of discs alongside subscriptions to 20 streaming services. Just because you're rich doesn't mean you want to be hassled by a bunch of bullshit.
>>107814778I'm "rich" enough to pay for blu-rays and subscriptions I want. I still pirate for the reason cited by the anon above. But the biggest point for me is subs, how official offerings are shit in that regard. Very poor customization options or quality control.
So I made the terrible mistake of studying to become a backend dev late in my life (I am 29 turning 30). I am currently working at my first internetship which is this webapp startup which basically is a wrapper for different AI models.It fucking sucks, everything sucks. Not a single person writes their own code, everything is AI generated. No unit tests, no integration tests, just pure vibes and let people manually test code flow. The CEO and Product Owner talks about shipping constantly but I feel like we are no where close.MongoDB fucking sucks as well, holy hell I hate it so much. Give me MySQL or something similar. Is this what software dev is like now? I can't expect anything else from now on?
>>107813659>startup>vibecoding>webapp>AiYeah, your company is going bankrupt in 3... 2... 1...
>>107813794I think you should pick database depening on what you are actually trying to do. Our webapp quite nicely maps to relational databases due to accounts having this or that. Right now, to my knowledge, deleting an account means that you also have to delete every single thing associated with that account via code in the service layer, and if you don't you will have things staying around in your database that shouldnt exist.A SQL database would fix that problem very easily.
I did my internship in a company like this too, turning 28 this year. Thankfully (?) I got a job in financial tech at a large bank group. Unless that is shit too. Just work on your own projects on company time and try to get a better place

Samsung alludes to the idea that products will need to be repriced, which very likely affects the Galaxy S series. The most recent reports suggest the Galaxy S26 series will be slightly more expensive.

I wouldn't mind having to pay $1900 for a single 8 GB stick of DDR5 if it means South Korea gets nuked off of the face of the Earth.
Imagining and upscaling images is faster than constructing them.
>>107813831But there is extra latency, Nvidia has even a tool to measure PCL.They try to hide it with saying DLSS scaling will benefit the lantecy more then FG will increase it, but it's still bullshit and FG and even native is still higher latency then just DLSS upscaling. >>107813851Lossless Scaling is even worse in every way, even their upscaling had DLSS/FSR FG levels of latency increase. Absolutely useless outside of 1% niche use cases (i.e. Intel iGPU and running a game with hardcoded res and framerate on a modern display).
>>107813851>For context, I play on a 5120x1440 screen with 240 Hz, so I'm the target audience that needs these fake frames to max out their screen.You'd probably have a better experience just using VRR at whatever FPS it runs without FG.
>>107813880It's not like I haven't tried that. FG still feels much better to me.I can run like 80 FPS without FG and it looks choppy to the eyes. There's no tearing but I can tell it feels low-fps. Then with framegen I can get to 240 and it feels silky smooth. I don't notice an increase in latency, and the artifacts are minimal at best (only notice them when really looking for them).
>>107813880>>107813929Also, VRR causes flicker with the background lighting of the screen, which is a much bigger issue, that's why I never turn VRR on anymore even if I don't use framegen
>>107813945That's a monitor issue. There's even OLEDs that don't' flicker or flicker in very specific scenarios (like low FPS that swinging heavily) while doing VRR.
This is fucking crazy. Robbers and thieves all around, before it was corsair canceling the order and jacking up the price of the same pre-built by 800 usd, now they ask 500 usd extra for the supposedly ram that was in stock after the order is placed. What's next? Bring your own ram pre-builts?
Clown world..
>>107809584I don't know Canadian law, but usually handoff of a good marks the end of a sale, not the start. "Dispatched" is also ambiguous, there is no meaningful difference between hiring a courier to deliver a psckage to the consumer, and hiring a courier to move a package between two storagehouses you own, or even moving it yourself. In both cases you are still the owner of the thing until it's actually in posession of the buyer
>>107811406>see how much people are willing to pay?This is literally always the case, retard. They were not selling at cost before.

>You need 4+ Ghz cpu to emulate a 400mhz win98 This is bullshit
>>107813122It's meant for very old games / software that requires very accurate hardware emulation. You're not supposed to use it to re-create some late stage, high end Win98 build.
>>107813251>>107813258>>107813264VirtualBox (or Qemu/KVM or VMware) + SoftGPU can be decent for gaming. But I'd recommend >>107813334 / >>107813425 for older and anything newer just wrappers / patches and run native if possible.
>>107813411>This might be a stupid question but why do we even need cpu emulation when this omores guy can run win98 with AM5 cpu and voodoo (through PCI PCIe adapter but still)?That's the OS.all the hardware you have will then still need win98 drivers. good luck with that.
>>107813953We actually have drivers for most common and generic shit, like onboard audio and USB. Plus you can use old hardware, as anon mentioned, nothing stopping you from using PCIe to PCI bridges.
>>107813953Can emulate the hardware just fine assuming someone has went through the entire asspain of creating hardware input/output
