    Hey @ColinLTT did you work at OneUp components before LTT?

    If you are planning on learning the concepts of deep learning and implementing the basics then sure. If you plan on using deep learning for anything or want to dabble more than puddle deep you will need a gpu. For the smooth and easy path you need an nvidia GPU for CUDA. The vast majority of deep learning toolkits are designed to run on gpgpu. CPU works but is dreadfully slow.

    I currently use the first xps 13 generation with the super thin bezels. It has 8gb of ram. I have a 16gb xps15 on its way by the end of the week. I REALLY recommend not getting anything with less than 16gb ram for programming. My current workflow has me regularly using over 8gb ram and waiting while my computer is "frozen" for a minute while it swaps to disk. Obviously there are different types of programming with different requirements, but lots of ultrabooks still ship with 8gb which is kind of a stretch even for non-programmers.

    It happens ~5 minutes after booting. I tried running a linux live install on a thumbstick and it works fine for 5 minutes then locks up. the image on screen freezes and the computer is totally unresponsive. Same thing happens 5 minutes into installing windows.

    I have already updated the bios on the asrock AB350M Pro4 to the latest version and it hasn't helped. I cant really check temps as I cant get into an os, it crashes in the installer

    Hi everyone, I built a new system with a ryzen 1600. I picked up the parts on newegg black friday. The system hangs after a few minutes. I figured that the general sentiment was that ryzen ram instability was mostly delt with so I just grabbed a 16 gig kit of 2133 ddr4 patriot memory but it is not on the patriot list of amd compatible memory. Strangely enough, the system seems to be able to sit in bios without hanging. Should I try to see if I can return the memory? Has anyone had a similar issue? Any guesses for troubleshooting bios settings etc? I have already updated the bios on the asrock AB350M Pro4 to the latest version and it hasn't helped. Thanks

    So after three attempts at recovery (crashes kept interrupting the file discovery), I have finally started to get files off of the drive. As files are being recovered, I see that the folder structure is gone and all the files are being dumped into the same place. Some files seem to have lost their names as well, i.e. [0000000], [0000001]. I am super grateful that I can get anything back at all! But this is going to be a hairy process. Naming conflicts and just the act of sorting thousands upon thousands of files will keep my spare time pretty strapped for the next while. Thanks for the suggestion @Lurick and the people who echoed the recuva statement.

    I formatted it with gparted+disks utility but it took no time so I'm sure it only overwrote the partition table. Unfortunately, I can't remember if it was ext4 formatted or not. I just started running recuva on it and at 1% it has found 66775 files so far with an estimated 8 hours remaining (The shallow scan found nothing). Fingers crossed! Edit: 77653 so far! I am trying not to get my hopes too high as I have no indication of what files it thinks it has found or if they are corrupted or anything, but it's looking up.

    I thought I had the right one, I looked at the sizes and to figure out which name was which drive but when i went to format I guess a wire crossed in my brain or something.

    Yea, This seriously sucks. 3 years of photos with my GF, and lots of important stuff like ssh keys for work that I now need to replace. between google drive and my GF probably 30-40% of them are somewhere else but more than half were just on my computer

    I just reformatted the external hard drive to fat32 with disks utility (i thought it was the thumb drive). the hard drive in the computer i actually wiped using dd.
  12. SpaceNugget
    Some of it can and some of it can't.

    I was going to copy a live cd iso to a thumbstick, something that I have done so many times before, and accidentally typed the wrong drive and wrote over the first bit of my hard drive. Crap. Oh well, nothing has crashed yet so just make the iso and reinstall, I had just backed up my system to an external hard drive minutes ago anyway so I can recover from that on a fresh install. So I reformat my thumb drive and name it zxcvb because I'm in a rush and finally copy the iso over. I reboot and select my thumb drive at the boot menu, strange, its not a bootable drive. I put the thumbdrive in my GF's pc and its empty, and not named zxcvb... weird. So I do the clone from her PC and put it back in my PC. It Works! great. Install goes smoothly, get to desktop and plug in my external backup drive and my heart falls out of my chest. "what would you like to do with media 'zxcvb'". I had formatted my backup to nothing immediately after backing up my pc, then wiping and reinstalling. everything is gone. This sucks.

    Some people have already mentioned it, but if you are getting a solid 60fps you wont notice any difference as when at the monitors refresh rate limit it functions the same as vsync (experience wise, not in terms of how it is technically accomplished). the difference is that if you drop to 59fps, instead of throwing away 29 frames every second and skipping down to 30fps (it displays each frame twice since without adaptive sync the monitor is stuck at 60hz), it just adjusts your monitor to 59hz. essentially a 29 fps improvement. This is about the simplest explanation and skips over lots and over simplifies just about everything but you see the main function of adaptive sync tech. try to play a demanding game at intensive settings where you can get 60fps sometimes but not all the time and you can watch vsync snap back and forth between 30 and 60fps

    I finally upgraded my old 2009 21" monitor to a 34" ultrawide and when i first set it up within arms reach i felt like I was going to hurl playing rocket league. I don't know how you keep your lunch down with your whole vision filled!

    Dropping matlab on the 800 laptop was kind of a strange choice, most matlab work falls more into the workstation category rather than small bang for the buck notebook category. I mean the base install of matlab is over $2000 and if all you were going to use was the base install you would probably be using octave instead.

    no, he is mad that he finally understood the simple concept that emails being search that haven't been previously pwned are NOT "data that has been leaked." He realised he was wrong and is now being defensively angry. All you can do is trust that troy is both: not malicious, and impervious to being hacked.

    https://www.google.com/webdesigner/ its a mix of drag and drop and WYSIWYG. It's about as close as you can get to what you want as far as I know.

    What are you going to do with the result of this multiplication?
  20. SpaceNugget
    You need the parenthesis after the function to actually call it. like onClick="showDiv()"

    Not even remotely true. over 45% of the people in the world have working access to the internet, that would make 16% of the entire world "furries." Also, it's because you people do very weird things... how is that not self apparent?

    The rubber nubbins for fans are really nice. They stop any vibration noise from transferring to the case/rad/thing they are attached to. Generally, if you have an unbalanced fan, tightening it on really hard makes the computer hum, and leaving it loose makes a sharper rattle sound. putting rubber grommets or little bits of soft foam or rubber between the fans and the screw holes before screwing them in will quiet them down. make them snug not tight.

    browse github and find a project in a different language that really sparks your interest. try to recreate it in java. Any language without an interesting program to write is 'boring' its what you do with it that becomes exciting. https://github.com/explore The best way to learn a new language/framework is just to make something and learn along the way, once you have all of the concepts and bits of jargon you have picked up you can start to understand the articles and tutorials aimed at advanced concepts without getting stuck on the weird language.

    Dirt Rally, Witcher 1 & 2, Rocket league, Dota 2, CSGO, CIV 6, Portal 2, Bioshock Infinite, Metro Last Light, Cities Skylines, and terraria make up a non exhaustive list of the Linux supported games in my steam library alone. To say that you can't game on Linux is a flat out lie. more and more games are coming out with Linux support because the tooling makes it much easier than it used to be. Unity and Unreal 4 both support building for Linux. the new Davinci resolve works flawlessly on Linux. IMO linux is best suited for very computer literate people and very computer illiterate people. Its not so great for people in between who use computers all the time but don't understand how they work, those people know just enough to be dangerous to their own computers. Fortunately, if you fall into that middle category, if you the time, you can easily become very computer literate by using Linux!

    https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/1788 points to this https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/266908-command-prompt-console-bash-on-ubuntu-on-windo/suggestions/16108045-opencl-cuda-gpu-support blender renderer uses cuda, they must have been using blender for windows or used it in cpu only mode. I have scoured the internet all day and haven't found a single person with this issue. "more myfile.py" and "notepad myfile.py" on the same command prompt without switching directories shows two different files. python seems to be running the version that more sees. Some serious dark magic here. Switching back to linux tomorrow.
