  1. For example https://www.python.org/about/gettingstarted/ Since you don't know any of the features or terminology I wouldn't look for anything specific, just look up Python for Beginners or similar and let them teach you what you need to know
  2. Im not sure what you mean by where to start. I'd suggest the bottom? Only advice is that make sure you're using Python version 3.x not 2.x where x is whatever. Choose a Python for beginners or similar and watch it through beginning to end, make sure you're coding along with the person rather than just watching, just watching you'll never learn
  3. There are jobs for "hacking" that do no involve working for the government. These are generally called bounties, for an example I believe it is google that offers a bounty of $10 000 for any security breaches on their systems. As for the OP, I learnt to code at uni, i'm still there, but I have a job part time working as a technical constant at an IT firm. As a technical consultant I get a large variety of work from clients, my last was developing a web application but my current one is doing a security audit for a client, which involves compiling a list of all their systems (it's a large company) then listing off possible security vulnerabilities then putting them to the test. Using the term "hacking" isn't what i'd describe what I am doing, what im doing is my job, being a technical consultant. Not sure if this is what you were looking for OP but that's me. Also "hacking" for good can usually be refered to white hat hacking
  4. There are loads of free to use Weather API's that you could get this data from and display it your own way, might be a bit more work but would be better than just using someone else's webpage
  5. very similar to the GTX 970/80 when it came out
  6. Again, it's not the fact that it's 32bit holding you back. Yes that does mean you have unused RAM but using it wont magic FPS out of no where. I think the mode called "welder" or maybe "Part welder" something like that will help you out, what it does it welds parts together, reducing your part count, this would help performance. As for the other games I cannot comment since I have no knowledge of their workings
  7. A new GPU would do you wonders. However, if your only concern is KSP then I have you tell you that this game is very CPU bound due to it's large amount of physics calulations. This is the issue you're finding when you have a large amount of parts of a ship, about 200 or so?, is where you'd notice the large to start, this is where a GPU would not help you, neither would you RAM, yes KSP is 32bit but all that means is that it can't use more than 4gb of RAM which does not correlate with FPS or your CPU's processing power
  8. As the other two answers have pointed out the complier does do some work for you but I think it would be good to point out a few small details about this matter. First off you have the "Old way" like below private int num = 5; //Old way public int getCount() { return num; } //Old way public void setCount(int num) { this.num = num; } This is where the Backing Field (num) is only accessed by the methods getCount() and setCount() //New way public int count { get{ return this.num; } set{ num = value; } //The above is exactly the same as below public int count { get;set;} What happens when you write code like the above is that the complier actually makes you a private backing field with those public accessors available to you still. So effectively they are the same thing, apart from their use cases. E.g you might want to processes the data before setting or setting it, therefore you would want to set up your own backing fields so that you can use your own logic in the accessors. If you just want to get and set the fields then it's easy to just use the second method

    C++?

    What language you use is mostly down to personal preference. I personally started off learning Python, which I think is a good option for starting out since it's so intuitive and like natural english. But now I'm deep in C# and I've never looked back, if I can complete a task in C# then i'll use it. Also I'm guessing that you're assuming to use C++ because you hear somewhere that it's used to make windows applications, well most languages can make applications with GUI's. C# can easily same as Python and obviously C++ so again that's why i'd say it's down to personal preference. However C++ (as far as I know) cannot do web applications, where as both Python can C# can, which is always something to consider. Most of my personal project's I've just made into web apps since it's so much easier to share
  10. They're about 378$, wee bit out of my price range, however I havn't really thought about having a separate mic to my headset, also from what I can tell a modmic is about $100
  11. So I currently have a Razer Kraken buy the inner ear part of it is falling apart so I'm looking at buying a new pair. I'm no audiophile but I do listen to music most of the day at work then at home, aswell as using it for skype etc. Since im in NZ these prices might look a bit odd but just use them for a compairson. Looking at (Cragslist equivalent) there's a pair of Sennheiser PC363D (apparently new and unopened) which I think I could get for about 200(here they're 374 from a shop) Otherwise I was thinking the Kingston Cloud II for $126 or Cosair Void 7.1 for 158. Basically I'd like them to last a few years, i'm pretty keen on the Sennheiser's i think, but are they really worth it? or should I just go for one of the cheaper pairs?
  12. I know this might sound stupid but did you try restarting it? this happens to me every now and then but a restart fixes it
  13. Nope, not a fanboy, i'd be happy to buy an AMD product if they were competative. They GPU's atm do alright at a sweet spot price but their CPUs suck so badly.
  14. Don't get a AMD CPU, There is no logical reason for one
  15. Woah woah woah dude, this is NOT the first quantum computer. This is the first Quantum computer http://www.dwavesys.com/ The D Wave, The guys you're talking about havn't even built one yet What these guys in Australia have done is instead come up with a way that might lead to them making a quantum computer that does not require to be cooled near 0 Kelvin. As for what they can do, well from what I know of Quantum computing the general idea is that they run on probability, moreover the principle of Quantum Superposition which is that a something can be in multiple places at once and in computer terms that would equate to a Qubit (quantum bit) having a chance of either being a 0 or 1, therefore have a probability of being a 0 or 1. Applications for this can be things like Encoding, Encrypting, AI, Protein Folding, Water/Road etc network optimization. Nothing for any consumers pretty much at all, these are solely commercial applications that take a huge advantage of how a quantum computer works. Also the DWave 2 Sells for 10 million USD and only 6 have been sold so far
  16. I understand that, but my point was that it teaches you the theoretical side of programming which can be applied to every language, syntax is not the same, it changes with almost all of them
  17. Python and HTML/CSS (Don't learn Python on code academy, it teaches Python 2.7 not 3.4 which are very different) Python may not be the best language for everything but it gets the fundamentals down without having to worry about finicky syntax. And everyone needs to know a bit of HTML/CSS
  18. Pretty much the same as the other builds but with the monitor you said you wanted and some peripherals -You don't need a CPU cooler on a Xeon -For what it's worth i'd always get a 250GB SSD over a 120 PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($453.09 @ Wiseguys) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H97-GAMING 3 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($169.95 @ Computer Lounge) Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($164.00 @ 1stWave Technologies) Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($178.25 @ PB Technologies) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($86.33 @ PC Force) Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon R9 390 8GB SOC Video Card ($621.00 @ Paradigm PCs) Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case ($109.99 @ Mighty Ape) Power Supply: Cooler Master VSM 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($171.84 @ PC Force) Monitor: AOC G2460PQU 144Hz 24.0" Monitor ($448.50 @ Aquila Technology) Keyboard: Cooler Master CM Storm Devastator Gaming Bundle Wired Gaming Keyboard w/Optical Mouse ($58.00 @ 1stWave Technologies) Headphones: Kingston HyperX Cloud Pro Headset ($113.85 @ PB Technologies) Total: $2574.80 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2015-10-07 17:26 NZDT+1300
  19. 8gb should be fine, you probably have some issue there
  20. Both of those are the same thing, windows will navigate you to download that progam from memory Yes skipping the key on install is correct, as soon as it's connected to the net it'll validate your key, you wont get a email or anything but oyu can check it by going to Update & Security > Activation There it will say Windows is activated or not
  21. says it right here > Speed2 • USB 3.13 16GB — 100MB/s read, 10MB/s write 32GB–64GB — 100MB/s read, 15MB/s write
  22. My guess it's unlikely that the USB can run at the full speed of USB 3.1 what model of USB is it?
