thafuq is that

@z80 I wanted to use Java and connect it to a sql server running on my PI, but nooooo, the rest of my group had to use a visual website editor.

okay, let me change the question then

why are you working with slow people

lol

I have spent 3 FUCKING HOURS getting the god damn log in page working

tell them they should have chosen Squarespace

and you can't even modify the built in log in page that Wix provides, so I have to use a two stage log in process to get a bunch of extra user information.

high-level programming is perfectly acceptable, visual programming is garbage, but visual drag and drop *website* (as in markup, which is already easy) editing is just...

i have a question for anyone technologically savy. I just installed a 5TB hard drive as a secondary hard drive to my computer. everything is fine and im rather surprized i hooked it up correctly in one go... but im looking at the 'free space left' section of it, and it says "4.54TB free". i understand something like this happening on the main hard drive of my computer, cause of the windows system and the like, but why does this one not have the full 5TB? is it there as a backup just in case?

You bought a 5 *terabyte* hard drive, but the computer measures in *tebibytes*. A terabyte is 10^12 bytes while one tebibyte is 2^40 bytes.

Terabytes were originally 2^40 bytes, but the number was changed to match the si prefix better. Tebibytes (also gibibytes and mebibytes and such) were remade with the original binary power values.

5 Terabytes is about 4.54 tebibytes, so your computer is saying the correct thing

is this a universal thing with computers? it seems rather odd, though it could just be a marketing thing. 5tb sound better than 4.54tb

Most, maybe all, operating systems are going to measure and display in the binary units. Hardware companies are going to sell you in the base 10 prefix values because people think they mean the same and it looks like more than it is.

k. 4.54 Tb is still quite a bit, especially considering i finally filled my original 3TB harddrive after 8 years

@z80 @Deleted User @M4Gunner I just told my team, basically, fuck it, fuck Wix. We're turning what we have for the first sprint and then I'm redoing everything in ReactJS.

lol @meratrix what class is this one for

Systems Analysis & Design

gl boi

i'm all tangled up in a rats nest of conditionals rn 😂 🔫

FFFFFFFFFFinally unfucked myself

PS I got some kinda weak MH brand DIP sockets in the mail today, theyre probly fine once soldered down but the pins are short, flimsy af, and keep popping out of my breadboards.

Who makes the premium quality DIP sockets that will be like a throne for my ICs to sit upon??

Did you get sockets with contacts on both sides of the holes?

like so they pinch the IC legs?

yes. it appears to be all one piece, the socket leg that plugs into your board and the contacts that pinch the IC legs. its kinda like a Dupont line's contacts

its even worse once you stick an IC in, after that it wont stay in the breadboard at all

i realize these are made to be soldered into real boards, but this *has* to be a garbage socket

I've never seen a socket be used in a breadboard, so I'd imagine their not for that. It also sounds pointless since the purpose they serve is to make it possible to easily remove the IC's, which you can already do with a breadboard.

i got them to keep from fucking up the IC pins if I swap them out a lot

just git gud

or get a chip puller

i had simply envisioned things a certain way

moving a hot tray of integrated cookies from the breadboard to the windowsill
