Update after re-re-installing wifi driver. person@laptop:~$ sudo modprobe -r rtl8723de [sudo] password for person: person@laptop:~$ sudo modprobe rtl9723de ant_sel=2 modprobe: FATAL: Module rtl9723de not found in directory /lib/modules/5.0.0-37-generic I'm moving to Devuan for now, it's been real.

Hello 0x2620, when you first installed the driver, you had an 4.15 kernel. Now you have a 5.0 kernel and as written on the easylinuxtips website, you can loose the driver if you update the kernel. Then you have to install it again in the described way: You can then use it in the now familiar way (f...

Please don't talk about politics on the board, it's against the rules. Also please check your white privilege. That sort of crap doesn't work with me, mate. You've been reported. My oh my, isn't telling someone you've reported them against the rules? For future reference: https://pastebin.com/2HKW0...

Does this do anything: sudo modprobe rtl8723de ~$ sudo modprobe rtl8723 [sudo] password for person: modprobe: FATAL: Module rtl8723 not found in directory /lib/modules/5.0.0-37-generic This is after make, sudo make install (which reported it was successful), and a reboot. I think the solution here ...

If you read the steps of driver Installation on easylinuxtips until the end, you would know why you experience that

Well I did and I don't see anything.

~/rtlwifi_new$ sudo dkms install rtlwifi-new/0.6 Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

Updating to 19.3 likely changed the kernel resulting in losing driver. Repeat the steps you did before to get the driver back. I installed it again after updating to 19.3, I must redo the installation with every reboot. edit Trying this guide. https://subinsb.com/install-realtek-d723-wifi-driver-li...

New development, the drivers disappear upon reboot. All other specs the same, updated to Mint 19.3. edit Followed the installation instructions again, fail at this point. ~/rtlwifi_new$ sudo apt-mark unhold "linux-generic*" "linux-headers-generic*" "linux-image-generic*" "linux-signed-generic*" "lin...

I installed Mate components and removed a lot of Cinnamon components but I still have the same login manager. It also doesn't let me set Mate as the default session. How can I configure the login menu? Also mate-terminal for some reason doesn't have configuration files, colors and bolded text is off...

"Code Complete" by Steve McConnell is also a very good read for learning more general programming techniques and for learning how to write more maintainable code.

Code Complete is excellent, one of my favourite books of all time. Highly recommended!

Got it.

Thoughts on these two? Already acquired pdfs. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0534491324/ https://www.amazon.com/Data-Structures-Pseudocode-Approach-C/dp/0534390803/ Reviews say the first one is very in-depth (good) but the code has occasional syntax errors. Good to know that in advance so I can goog...

Well that solves the IDE/editor problem, what about modern books on C?

Everything is indeed an object in Python (except maybe for some C primitives IIRC), but in Python I don't need to type a bunch of boilerplate to acknowledge this. RE GUI debuggers vs purely text debuggers: in the former I can step once in a program and then watch a dozen or more fields as they chang...

My personal choices would be C++ or C# and I've hooked games in both of them. It does not matter what language your game is written in. Agreed, you can do anything with any language, but given that most PS1 games were written in C (Aside: Crash Bandicoot was written in Common Lisp) and I would be u...

Don't burn your bridges just yet, your company might give you a call back when it becomes obvious that the new guys don't know what they're doing and they need someone to clean up the mess they made. If they do, negotiate to extract as much money as possible from your former employers. If training y...

You're right; I need to do a lot of bit-twiddling and I need something which makes well behaved GUI applications. I was told that an understanding of C would improve my assembly language skills (most PS1 games were written with a very old version of GCC for which there exists an IDA pro plugin), but...

I meant that more as a clarification. Feel free to add opinions.

Modding is more about reverse engineering and implementing obscure standards and algorithms. I attempted and apparently failed to implement disc image input/output using Java. Java does everything stupidly. Even getting GUI combo boxes and check boxes to behave correctly was impossible. I don't real...

I was fooling around with inxi and I discovered that my new laptop has a maximum RAM capacity of 32 GB DDR4. This is enough to run Windows in VirtualBox, do cross-platform development, and play Windows games. Unfortunately it's been about 2 years since I did any serious programming, and then it was ...

Hello 0x2620, it is about, which antenna gives the best signal strength. I don't know, which ESSID belongs to your wifi network, but if your wifi ESSID is "Library", then the outputs show, that the antenna 2 brings a stronger signal and you should take that for the final step f. If you copy the com...
