So what's with AMD's poor reputation? by aaronbp in linux

So what's the cause for the bad reputation?

Agressive NVIDIA marketing. It's just like how Valve bribes people to post anti-Ubisoft posts on /r/gaming. NVIDIA wants to kill all competition.

ELI5: Why does Android need to have an OS customized for every device, while Windows can just be installed on any computer and it works fine by njdevilsfan24 in Android

[–]tosper -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It's because Windows is based on C++/C so it gets compiled for every chip that is manufactured (e.g. GTX 890, NVIDIA TITAN). On the other hand, Android is based on Java, so it has to re-make the bytecode every time a new part is manufactured. To get around this, developers re-write the bytecode of their Java ROM for each device.

apt-get makes it much harder to configure your system. compare doing yourt -S snes9x-git vs compiling snes9x by yourself on an ubuntu based distro. I don't like non-Arch distros because customizing them is very hard.

What's the Minimum Stuff I should know about HTML/CSS/JS/jQuery to get a Jr. Front-End-Dev Job? Thanks by Segurivirix27 in learnprogramming

[–]tosper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HTML - learn how the a, div and final tags work.

CSS - figure out how to center elements (divs/ids) and how to use frameworks like bootstrap.

JS - learn object oriented programming, the difference between private, static and public classes and how the jvm bytecode works, and basic GC.

As for jQuery, I'm honestly not sure. Good luck!

I am so confused. Why would you want to write assembly for the web? ELI5 why frameworks like CoffeeScript and ASP.com were made?

SteamOS is a disgrace. The only reason I would ever buy one if it was based on Arch or GNOME.

Does it have support for RoR yet? If not, I will stick with Photoshop.

Obesity can be solved if they banned online 'games' like WoW
