    Indeed, and Ubuntu in itself is a highly patched version of Debian, which in itself is highly patched from upstream.

    Yes, its most likely a SATA device, just plug it in like you would any other 2.5" drive.
     
    It might be an M.2 though, which would require an M.2 slot on your desktop computer.

    A pi is pretty much just a regular computer, of course it can run multiple programs at once. The programs need to support the operating system that its running though, however most Pi's run Linux in some form, so it shouldnt be a problem.

    Yeah check out virtualbox. You actually gain very little from a Linux dualboot if you have a modern mid-range setup.

    Even if you completely dismiss what everyone else here is saying (that you need school to become educated, duh), even more important is the fact that it will make you money. School is important for anyone who wants to make enough money to actually have hobbies, eat well etc. School is unimportant for people who like to live in a semi-ghetto,  eat the most basic shit, and have to work really hard to find a job, and when you find that job, it's flipping burgers at its best.

    Fredrik Svantesson got a reaction from Hi P in Front-end and Back-end Developers   
    Yes. Frontend/backend is really just a webdev thing, but if C++ would fit in at it at all, it's definitely only for backend. Some projects I've seen (many years ago) actually used it as serverside scripting, which was pretty neat, but that project died pretty quickly too. 
     
    Large-scale HTTP servers (apache etc.) are almost always written in C++ or likewise. If you are going to do any kind of lower-level networking (on TCP, UDP or even IP layer), chances are you want something native to maintain performance.
     
    The reason C++ (and C) are sought-after skills, is because most often the foundation below whatever else you're working on is written in it. Which means if you have deep-rooted problems, chances are you can understand what you need to understand to fix it. Or at least find a workaround.

    Just learn the hippest, newest most high-level thing, and use that for every use case you can force into it. The IT business have been slowly turned to a cesspool of incompetence, and you'll earn the best buck by cutting the most corners.  Most oftenly, this involves using web technology for literally everything, despite how well it's fitted for it.
     
    ASP.NET (or PHP + some hipster frameworks), throw in a bunch of crappy .js-libraries and you can probably do everything from medicine-technical equipment to defense contractor work.
     
    If you want to be competent for real, know what tools are best for the specific job, and know how to learn those tool effectively. Additionally, learn C/C++, Python (really good for doing quick prototypes!) and C# w/ WPF.  It will be much harder for you to find work in these areas though, as 90% of the market is saturated with low-skill, overhyped web jobs.
     
    Also, stay the hell away from Java, there is no reason to encourage its existence anymore than we already do.

    Watercooling a 1060 will cost you at least $150 - 200, at which point you're way better off selling it and buying a 1660 ti or better with the money, and get way better results at the end of the day

    Fredrik Svantesson got a reaction from Hi P in C - Variable storage size (bytes)   
    Also, since modern practices (cstdint) basically forces you to be specific in regards to bitcount AND signage, there is no reason to not optimize this everywhere you can. I always think ahead and use types with boundaries that I know I wont exceed (even in future), but also no more than that. It's very easy to do, and if you do it everywhere, you can be sure to have some measurable gain, as well as produce much cleaner API's (dont you just hate it when API's use signed integers for indices?).

    What kind of encryption? Encrypted zipfile? Encrypted folders like with BitLocker? A fully encrypted filesystem like ecryptfs? A fully encrypted block device like dmcrypt?

    Seems really cool! However the coverhinge thing looks very fragile/flimsy. A more robust solution with screw(s) would be better.
     
    Either way, this is definitely a step in the right direction, as it could make small form-factor motherboards even smaller, as well as allows for packing more features on bigger motherboards!
     
    With regards to Apple, they will find a way to either ignore or ruin this.
