/sqt/ - stupid questions thread

fuck i so thats how they get me to pay for it. instead of knee caping the usablity it hampers my upgradbility

Its easy to rebuild it, takes 10 seconds tops, you just need to paste certain commands in CMD while you use your USB windows installer.

If both contain different versions of windows only do it with one device connected at the same time.
Do not use it with 2 drives that have an OS connected.
Why? Windows likes to fuck stuff up.

Fonts in urxvt broke after installing Gimp and now all resolve to DejaVu Sans. This has happened before after installing fontforge, but that time removing fontforge and cleaning out unused packages, specifically gsfonts fixed it. This go around no luck.

Why do I need to make this shit so hard on myself?

How do I stop myself from getting discouraged learning to program? I know the new concepts the book talks about will be explained later, but I cant help but feel stupid for not instantly knowing them

I'm not sure how this answers my question.
I'm currently already learning with a decent source, I'm just constantly going "but why does it do that" whenever it teaches me to do something and get nervous when it brings up a command or something without properly explaining it, saying it'll talk about it later

treat it menatly like a game then. its how i challenge studying. its one more hurdle. ive talked to countless programers and they love the problem sovling aspect of it.

if you want to hone in this puzzle solving thing into your skull then you need to take proper breaks to understand it fully. this is due to the fact that the brain can only take in so much info at a time.

a simple puzzle game such as this can help you form the ideas of logic gates and shit like that if you take the ideas you've learned and drawn them onto concepts you already know

its also a good review since it expands upon simple concepts into larger problems which is essicentaly what your dealing with every single time you program

Setting up company laptop with Windows 10. Fresh install. Drive is less than 2TB big and will only ever have 1 partition on it. Initialize disk with MBR or GPT? GPT supports better data integrity and boot table redundancy. That's the only difference I can find. Any cons to GPT that I'm missing? Which one is generally used more commonly?
