    As soon as you are dealing directly with selling a product you will might have to touch the subject.
    You have to deal with ordering parts, back order, following PO, BOM.
     
    If you sell big products that you make, you might have a single PO that is build in phases that can span over 2-3 years then payments are done over time upon each delivery where they can pay more to reduce interest. Or pay using a loan. You need to track these things in these softwares. There is not a single perfect ERP and all cliented i have ever work with customizing the ERP always falls in the developper hands. All ERP that i know of offer API or proprietary design editors to allow customization.

    wow! This is amazing, tbh I  thought no one would respond to this topic - I cannot thank you guys enough; Thank you for taking your precious time and guiding me though :)
    Lol! I've to caught up with geometry, generally in my tests i do not even study geometry, just because I feel like there is a lot of mugging up of formulas and visualization too(at least for my courseware) I like Matrices and vectors though 8-) Thank you for your reply sir!!
     
    That is something totally new for me that they do differ in terms of their algorithms: Thank you very much for your input sir!
    Your input was really insightful, I personally have a clear choice between a uni degree or a better PC down the line and I prefer 2nd route(will get some inexpensive mandatory piece of paper). I really love maths but I don't mug up algorithms and arrive at the solutions the school or exams monotonously asks; it fells like you've been given algorithm, syntax,the code and program objective all you have to do is just type and compile because you know it is already running. That is why I don't usually score good in math because the 'streotypical' mathematics school/uni teaches sucks,the only thing these institutions amount for are  the social network which again is a double edged sword. I can totally understand what you've been thorough lol! Thank you very much for your insights sir!! 
     
    That is something really new for me, I will definitely look into functional programming; algorithms are really the crux of intrigue in maths; It still amazes me how a simple mathematical function can be expressed and kindled in various formats if you consider algebraically and then when expressed as a geometrical the equation takes on some shape which was hidden in that equation. It is amazing, Thank you very much too for this help sir!!!

    I've done quite a bit of graphics, computer vision and robotics in my degree course so matrix operations and geometry in general were quite useful to me. Fun fact, geometry is the only subject I got top score in during my bachelor's

    If you're really interested in applying math to programming, you should look into APL which is basically "describing applications using nothing but math formulas".

    Programming is math. Just heavily abstracted at times. It's actually one of the most pure applications of math.
     
    Algorithm design is its own entire field of math, and you can benefit a lot from discrete math. Trees and graph theory are used heavily with data structures, and obviously logic is pretty much what you get when you boil everything else away from computer science.
     
    But the most important thing is just the way of thinking. People get caught up in syntax wrangling, but really what you're doing is solving puzzles... Which is entirely math. If you're really interested in applying math to programming, I suggest you look into functional programming; it's a really elegant way of building programs as transformations and relationships, instead of instructions and procedures.
  9. Agree
    Zorba2.17 reacted to DevBlox in In Dire need of some Input.   
    As per maths, IMO discrete mathematics (logic), is the most important in general, as it is the basis of all programming. Linear algebra is fairly common, as mentioned, others not so much, but are present. It all depends what you work on - one day it might be complex algorithms, other days can be just plugging data to go from point A to point B (and it's the more common of the two).
     
    Editory addition:
    Uni taught me technological fundamentals (assembly, how processors work etc, I struggled with it on my own in my teens), loved that subject, it was super hard to pass (I even failed once), but it's the most awesome thing ever to understand it, I feel it's useful when programming. Then there was some important to understand (at least) maths. I made awesome friends at uni. I've not finished it (maybe someday), but working on the thesis would have been very fun to me. Thinking up an interesting subject and running wild with it - sign me up. Too bad a lot of stuff in uni is just crap you have to endure, your mileage may vary though. Oh, most important - made some great friends.
     
    Uni also tried to teach me a lot of things which are just disappointing. Some examples include: UML (I really see no reason to learn spec-accurate UML), bad project management, applying solutions to non-existing problems (example: you have N amount of OOP principles/features to shove into a basic pogram), half-assing those solutions (my problem mostly, I worked as a developer full time all the time, they took back seat, since maths is harder), and a bunch of other unrelated crap that I had to learn (mandatory random subjects). The etc crap is mostly what made me not finish. I was supposed to attend shitty subjects, while I'm happily at work, nah not happening.

    Matrixes, Vectors, Angles and hexadecimal are fairly common, as well as basic algebra and curves, interpolation, etc. Nothing too crazy really. Most universities will teach you different algorithms for traversing trees of data or building them as well, as they come up on programming tests at big companies often.

    That's the problem then, to do a proper uninstall (as stupid as it sounds), you need to FIRST download a new copy of the .zip, right click that .zip folder, click properties, in the bottom it will say Unblock, click that, THEN click okay and extract the files. Then run setup.exe as administrator, let it uninstall, reboot, and run it again to re-install.

    Zorba2.17 got a reaction from chnapo in Talk me into / Out of a 4k Monitor   
    I agree with you; my opinion was biased on the basis of the price to performance ratios, and yeah the RTX do good compared to GTX cards- the sheer output difference in fps is minuscule considering the price tags. The RAMs do affect the performance output, the capacity component is not an issue(Depends) although the actual speed of data transmission the RAM can handle does greatly affect output. i do understand CPU's wont matter as much in terms of sheer output alone, but these games are basically a complex program of vector graphics and good output oh high res.  ∝ A better GPU, but still I do not really get the co-ordination GPU's have with CPU for actual execution. The ALU side of the games I suppose is tackled by CPU's where as the IO response is on the GPU side, but GPU's also aid in arithmetic side of processing as well so it's kinda unclear to me, i know we are way off topic for this thread,I am really not getting any clarity in this regds.

    Zorba2.17 reacted to chnapo in Talk me into / Out of a 4k Monitor   
    I agree with you up to 24". When you want to go bigger than 24", 1080p is just not enough. I have 27" 1080p at work, it is only good as a secondary monitor for anything from work to gaming. Even reading text sucks.

    Check out benchmarks, many games can be run on GTX on 4K 60p but there are games that only 2080Ti can run on 4K60 on max FPS. Really. I have seen almost all of Linus videos, I have yet to see a video where 1080Ti beats 2080Ti. They may have better price/performance ratio but the general formula is that 2060 beats 1070 and matches 1070Ti when overclocked, 2070 beats 1080, 2080 matches or beats 1080Ti and 2080Ti is unrivaled. RTX on or off, newer generation of cards is just faster, even if we talk strictly about FPS output. Look, Linus put 2070s into his LAN center PCs, not 1080s, because 2070s are already cheap enough to be worthier than 1080s. In 60 FPS gaming, CPU does not matter so much, as long as you have a decend 4-core or 6-core Core i5 or Ryzen 5 2xxx or higher. Any decent CPU will manage 60FPS. CPUs become tricky when you want to reach or exceed 144FPS in some games. Many ryzens may have trouble with that (you may want to go for overclocked 2700x for that), as well as older intels that do not feature enough single-core proccessing power.

    RAM is not so important at all, you either do or do not have enough RAM, more RAM will not help if you have enough. Check out Linus's video, he found only few games that ran better with 8GB RAM than with 4GB RAM and only one (I think it was the new Tomb Raider) that saw difference between 8GB and 16GB. So for most games, even 8GB is still enough as long as you do not run any other programs.

    Of course cooling efficiency is something that you need to have, otherwise you will thermally throttle and your components will not output their best performance and you cannot even think about overclocking.

    So my conclusion is, going 60 Hz and high res will only (mostly) need a good GPU, while going lower res and 144+ Hz will also require a good CPU, preferably one of the newer generations. Second, if you know you will cap the 144Hz limit (so you will be able to play games on 144FPS with vsync) then you are just fine. But if you know that you are getting a 144Hz monitor but you will only get 100-110FPS in your favorite game, you will want to go for Gsync or Freesync monitor (depends on whether you run Nvidia or ATI GPU).
    Second conclusion that we may already agree on, is that high refresh rate beats high resolution in gaming. But you want to keep certain DPI so if you buy a big monitor, you want a big resolution. Also resolution is always good for productivity.

    Yup. These things are prone to fraying due to soft insulation used on the cables that makes them feel nice, but gets damaged easily, and quite small strain reliefs.
     
    They also have power pins in very close proximity to each other, which can be easily shorted out on metal objects. I do know the OEM adapters actually lower the voltages when idle to only a couple volts across the pins until a load is detected, to avoid large sparks from a short, but its not foolproof.
     
    Its not clear if it was a damaged cable or a short on the power pins, based off what I've read.
     
    If she kept using a frayed cable, IMO that's her fault for being a moron and not replacing something electrical that was obviously damaged, but if she accidentally shorted it out on something else, I would put the blame on apple for that. The +12/16/18v and ground pins are too close IMO. I'm not aware of any other charger that can be shorted so easily, especially considering the entire chassis of the intended computer is metal.

    The Comptia Network+ is more entry networking for a general IT techie. CCNA is more entry level of a Network Engineer.
     
    I have the Network+ though but only took it be cause I was going to hold an education for Network+. I kind of like Comptia certifications though as they are a good basic level for most of their certifications. I also have the Server+, A+, Security+ and CTT+. Certifications are a lot of fun and very useful for learning new things and keeping you sharp when you are in the field. It helped me being focused on the subject.
