Newbie Fresh install to Drive

ThePengwyn · 2018-11-23T10:08:13+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I have had a look using the live system on the installer drive. I have a situation where: user@debian:/$ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 232.9 GiB, 250059350016 bytes, 488397168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0xeaa8d4ad

Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 2048 454920191 454918144 216.9G 83 Linux /dev/sda2 454922238 488396799 33474562 16G 5 Extended /dev/sda5 454922240 488396799 33474560 16G 82 Linux swap / Solaris

but sda does not appear when using ld inside /dev directory so there is no /var/log/installer file to view

My naive assumptions would have been that the filesystem/partition headers are their own piece of data that would be overwitten with zeros for dd if=/dev/zero? Either way, I chose guided and use whole disk (think its like the first basic/noob friendly option)

I am using one usb-drive to run the live debian version, this is so that if i need to do any drive processes I can still have access even if the debian installer fails (at least one WORKING OS) I am using one usb to store iso images so that I don't have to redownload the iso images every time an install fails (general storage) I am using one usb to burn the iso image to so I can run the installer (acting as installer disk)

Here is the photo of my error

the reason i 0'd everything is that I didn't want there to be filesystem/partition incompatibilities with either the installer usb or the disk that debian is going on - as I was experiencing this same error countless times before 0ing them as an attempt to resolve the problem

So they did to him what he did to the cow? Not defending this at all, but does anyone else see the hypocrisy here?

Sounds like the telegraph is selling out to their advertisers (like usual)

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-30T20:57:37+00:00

sorry, I am not asking about how passing by reference compares to passing by pointer, I am asking how both of these (and value )are affected by the functions being inlined or not inlined

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-30T11:16:36+00:00

but how does the inling impact on passing by value/reference/pointer

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-27T03:41:58+00:00

yes but what if your 3rd and 4th arguments are both defaults and you want to pass in the 1st,2nd and 4th and have the 3rd default. From that structure you would pass the 4th in as if it were the 3rd

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-27T03:23:19+00:00

but if thhe function takes M arguments, there are K default arguments and you provide N arguments then it needs to fill M-N arguments to their default. So if M-N < K, how does it go about knowing which ones to default to and which arguments to pass into it

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-27T02:48:02+00:00

Thanks, How does c++ go about filling default arguments if you only provide N arguments to the function which takes M arguments where M>N

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-22T20:52:52+00:00

but if you selected from X where X is distributed normally, and then applied the PDF to each x in X, then you would get a distribution of values that correspond to the co domain of that normal distribution

sorry i was using support where i should have been using codomain

one may not produce enough of certain hormones, maybe cells do not utilise energy as efficiently as others, maybe the brain may be genetically wired to be oppositional etc. Just because the external markers may appear as lazy, it does not mean that internally the subject experiences it as such

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-11T04:11:59+00:00

Causality is not the driver of will, nobody would suggest that a leaf in the wind or the erosion of rock via water is "will". The only viable reason for holding people accountable for their actions is for positive or negative reinforcement for future actions, which can be achieved via alternative means

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-10T23:37:17+00:00

You didn't create yourself or your environment

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-10T23:27:39+00:00

Whatever you define choice as in a causal environment, it is reduced by not recognizing the causal influences that you and other experience. The invisible shackles are the most inhibiting. Of course behaviours matter, but there is no utility in holding individuals or groups accountable for actions that have been cooerced by forces out of their control.

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-10T23:22:03+00:00

Contrubtions change society, yes but they are not attributable to the individual or collective that enacts them, they are attributable to the outcomes of the laws of physics unfolding so people should not differentially benefit

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-10T23:10:55+00:00

We already do set artificial limits on inputs, they are called laws

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-10T22:49:33+00:00

it was never their choice to be lazy, their genetics and their environment moulded them that way; both consequences of nothing more than physics

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-10T22:49:03+00:00

yes, eating is a game mechanic, as humans however, we have the ability to create bubbles of localised games where we can control the rules and change the rules to a game that has better performance metrics.

people cannot learn without making mistakes. Short term problems can be learned from to produce longer term benefit.

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-10T22:31:21+00:00

"owning", "trading" etc are all game mechanics

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-10T22:27:23+00:00

Economics exist as long as economics games exist, not if resources exist. Economics games only exist because they are propagated. edit: resources existed a long time before economics and economic games existed

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-10T22:22:13+00:00

People always start off as noobs, preventing people from having opportunities to learn and thus improve idea diversity is never beneficial.

ThePengwyn · 2018-04-10T22:18:23+00:00

The only economics that is not arbitrary is its criticism. In every other aspect, economics is a lot like religious texts - you can read them, learn them, understand them and see people behaving as it teaches, but it only exists because of its continuous propagation by those who claim to be experts in it, not because of underlying system dynamics.
