Welcome to /tech/ THE RULES: 1. Please spoiler all porn and gore 2. Talk about something actually related to /tech/nology 3. Have fun! Required reading http://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm Beginner Info If you would like to try out GNU/Linux because of https://itvision.altervista.org/why-windows-10-sucks.html, you can do one of the following: 0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine (preferably using KVM or Oracle VirtualBox for newfriends). 1) Use a live image and to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything (keep in mind that the performance of live distros might be very different than from distro that was booted from your HDD, as most distros are loaded in RAM and don't include the proprietary drivers for NVIDIA GPUs or up-to-date Mesa libraries in their isos). 2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows (make sure to install Windows first, as it can "replace" GRUB or other UNIX bootloaders, and troubleshooting of Windows replacing your bootloader of choice might be painful for people that just started learning about the Linux kernel) 3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux (you really shouldn't do this, if you don't know what you're putting yourself into, see: https://itvision.altervista.org/why.linux.is.not.ready.for.the.desktop.current.html).

Does anyone know why the Arch community is eliteist? Out of all communities, they are the most eletist and toxic, even gentoo isn't that bad, despite similarities.

I have recently bought an 8BitDo SN30 Pro+ controller after it had been shilled to hell and back and it was pretty comfortable to play with, but I'm getting some issues with diagonal inputs with the analog sticks. More specifically, according to Windows 7 patented controller settings screen, I can't seem to get the cross in any of the four corners, no matter how hard I try or what settings I change using 8BitDo's software. Updated firmware doesn't seem to make a difference. More specifically, I'm having trouble when playing with emulated games that use wide and angled movements, think Crash Team Racing. I can play it no problem but it won't turn all the way left or right in tight corners for some reasons. Is there a way to achieve that sweet corner movement, or is my controller just defective? It's such a joke that a Linq cheap PS3 controller can do what a 40 dollarydoos controller can't.

I have a $800/$1000 budget. What would be a good general purpose laptop to get under that?

This thread is for make benefit glorious language of Haskell and functional programming in general. Discuss anything from newbie questions (what's a monad?) to advanced topics (what's a monad?) to category theory (what's a monad?) to your real-life haskell projects (>implying haskell is used outside academia) to what language features should be included in GHC9 to which IDE is best.

Haskell for starters: http://learnyouahaskell.com/introduction#what-you-need
Hoogle: https://www.stackage.org/
Introduction to lenses: https://www.schoolofhaskell.com/school/to-infinity-and-beyond/pick-of-the-week/a-little-lens-starter-tutorial

If you're past the Hello World phase, I highly recommend using stack to sandbox projects https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/#quick-start-guide and install HIE for IDE integration (e.g. VS Code) https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine#user-content-installation . Where Hoogle beats any other form of documentation, HIE beats any autocomplete and checker, simply because Haskell has such a rich type system and GHC has features like typed holes.

Honorable mention to http://www.purescript.org/ for being basically Haskell but without a lot of legacy garbage and with row types. A huge downside is that it's not lazy.
