>>2690 When webdevs realized they could use javascript to make your computer display their websites any way they wanted without using up their own server resources, efficiency went out the fucking window. Webdevs treat your PC the way the government treats your tax money. "NOT USING 100% OF THE RESOURCES IS WASTEFUL!" Then people get used to websites looking "nice" and having lots of "features" and that creates demand to make even more bloat. Everywhere. It's AIDS.

Infinitely zoomable world of pixels Anonymous 10/26/2021 (Tue) 18:21:39 No. 5914 [Reply]
Is this idea possible, /t/echnerds? You would have a publically accessible canvas like https://ourworldofpixels.com/ or https://pxls.space/, but you could zoom out as far as you want (given memory limitations) and zoom in as far as you want (given memory limitations). Would this be possible with infinite precision arithmetic / bignums? I feel like I'm just being dumb here but I want to put the idea out there and ask just in case.

>>5933 no, svg are just drawing instructions, theres no pixel data, the pixel array gets calculated on render thats what makes it scalable, you can have subpixel preservation this way, you can zoom out until everything is merged into a single pixel and still be able to zoom back in without a difference this file has 1/2 pixel width and height, if you scale it you will get the exact same image as before even though it should technically only be a single pixel if it was a raster file put this in css and expand the thumbnail to see the image zoomed .imgExpanded, video { animation: zoom 25s ease alternate infinite; } @keyframes zoom { 0% { transform: scale(1.0); } 100% { transform: scale(441.0); } }

>>5935 I know that. That's why I put 'pixelated' in 'scare quotes'. Without infinite precision as you zoom in there will be gaps between least significant figures where you can't put any lines. That being said, I assume numbers in SVGs already have infinite precision and size due to being written in text (you can write as many digits as you want before and after the decimal point) unless there is for some reason some arbitrary limitation that I don't know about. However, decimal in ASCII is an inefficient format and the canvas area can become indefinitely large and complex so maybe it's worth creating a new binary SVG, possibly with EBML or something, that uses the entire 8 bits of each byte, or as much as you can get.

Okay retards, what's the best school for computer science? How is the school you went to better than all the others? And what is the objectively best, top-of-the-line "even if I didn't personally make it in" school in your opinion? Or is your knowledge of computers entirely self-study? What was your course of study? And why did you choose that path? And finally, is there anything you wish you would've done differently while studying computer science?

>>5308 This is the smartest path in the long run. If your REALLY want the theoretical foundation, find any of the free online curriculum like https://github.com/ossu/computer-science or https://fullstackopen.com/en/ (much more practical for making projects) and go to town. What is going to get you the job are your projects on your resume, they show you can get things done. Target start ups for your first job since they won't care so much about your degree, but what you can do. Stay for a year or two and apply somewhere else if you so choose. After the first year, experience counts more.
>>5308 >>5337 Full disclosure, I went the university route and only really for a piece of paper and 50k in debt to show for it. It took me 6 months to land my first job, and I ended up getting hired alongside someone who went to a bootcamp at a fraction of the cost of what I paid. All universities and bootcamps give you are a clear path to graduation, but all of this can be learned on your own for free.

Richard Matthew Stallman Anonymous 05/08/2021 (Sat) 14:23:46 No. 4011 [Reply]
Richard Stallman taught us that: 1. In America "you can get arrested without a reason." 2. Russian spy "Edward Snowden is a Great Hero." 3. HAMAS terrorists are the good guys, while Israel is a fascist state. 4. "The US military" are the "violent white supremacists." "The US owes reparations to Iraq for the damage it has done." 5. "The US military is poisoning [low-income] communities across the US with toxic chemicals." 6. It is wrong that "the US government has persecuted Julian Assange for a decade for Wikileaks' journalism." 7. "Publishing of leaked secret [American] information" is journalism, and not espionage or sabotage. 8. Terrorist Iranian dictatorship, trying to make a nuclear bomb, are the good guys, and America should ally with it. 9. "US today — plutocracy, extractivism and dooH niboR." 10. "US government doesn't try to operate fair taxation." 11. American "democracy is a sham." 12. "We must defeat [American] plutocracy." 13 "War is not the way to deal with" the totalitarian regimes. 14. Pre-teen children can "appear entirely willing." 15. Writing software unpaid makes you "free as in freedom." 16. There is nothing wrong with the Red Star GNU/Linux being used in North Korea as the totalitarian surveillance tool tracking any non approved communication. GNU GPL completely approves such use, because it gives their government users "freedom."

Anyone able to have a purely JACK audio setup working? Of what was actually able to use JACK for the audio server it was fantastic, but I always ran into the issue of not enough of what I used would support it. Meanwhile everything adopted pulseaudio in a heartbeat, which I always see errors in dmesg for.

>>3336 >It seems like gentoo maintainers have been going on a killing spree with anything that goes unupdated for a year. even if it really doesn't need updates. Talking from the future here, but LXDE didn't get removed. That said, being unmaintained upstream isn't just about getting new features, it's about getting support when code eventually rots and becomes unable to compile/function properly on modern systems. LXDE currently requires very few patches, but I'm sure if a bug or two appear that aren't trivial to solve, they'll consider it for removal again. You're usually free to contribute to keeping it alive, if you can fix the issues. Same shit happened with opentmpfiles, as the latest version had significant bugs and had to be masked, nobody stepped up for over a year to either fix those or release a new upstream version, so they decided it wasn't worth keeping around.

The future of imageboards: Over 9000 server proxies? Anonymous 08/18/2020 (Tue) 08:16:19 No. 1089 [Reply]
Of the new imageboards that launched recently two of them have something in common: Proxies. The new Zchan launched its server normally and proxies their site through a separate sever. This site has a "back door" to its tor hidden service that runs from a proxy on the clearnet. Much like anons using a proxy to evade a ban from a site, entire sites are now using proxies to avoid being banned from the Internet. The effectiveness of this is apparent at a glance. The servers for the main sites have no public IP to know and a much smaller attack surface, and if a proxy gets shut down another one can be spun up faster than relocating a whole server and all of its data. 8chan goes even further by allowing its server to hide on the onion network in case of a major attack or outage. Deplatforming a proxy that doesn't host content is naturally going to be a bit harder than deplatforming a site that does. My question is, is this going to become the status quo for "controversial" sites going into the future? Even a year ago I would have said this was extreme, but the sheer hostility against non-politically correct sites on the Internet, and the willingness of service providers to cave to an angry mob on the basis of emotion has exceeded my worst fever dreams. This is not how the Internet of my youth was supposed to be.

Pajeets are probably the worst choice anyone could pick to run a large company - even a tranny nigger midget would probably be less damaging. Like all manlet pajeets in a position of power, Nadella is a megalomaniac who always wanted to turn Windows into "his" OS and Microsoft into "his" company. Like every pajeet, he is extremely stubborn and will never, ever admit to having made a mistake. If pajeets are in a sinking ship, they'd rather sink and drown with the ship, in case abandoning the ship would carry the implication that they've made a mistake. That's why they always stick with any bad decisions made regarding Windows 10's design even if there's backlash and no one likes it. Saying all of this from experience by the way. I have worked with and interacted daily with pajeets in an IT company that hired a few of them because they fell for the "indians are smart and good with tech" meme. >half of his bad ideas have failed already, leaving a long trail of tech debt detritus to clean up Well he's a street shitter, of course he leaves a trail of shit wherever he goes.

>>4457 As far as I know, System76, Purism, and StarLabs can't remove PSP or IME, nor can they replace closed-source chipset drivers.

More and more you'll notice their A.I.'s knowing you on a personal level.
>>4509 PSP is a motherboard module, some asrock models including mine can disable it, but you'll have to trust experts that it really is disabled. As for getting a computer without even support for it, arm64 or risc-v computers might be more promising, just remember only 5% of the risc-v instruction set on consumer chips are actually free and open source, vendors stack their proprietary implementations for things like video codecs and networking instructions. So arm64 is more practical at the moment due to larger software support.
