didn't had me in the first half, not gonna lie

@electrineer mine is i5 7th gen dual core. I guess its a very rare info that non tech people would check. I did a little google search on it and turns out its impossible to know about the cores when the shop salesman only tells you that "this laptop is i5 7th gen" .

It could only be found if we have a physical running laptop or cross checking the actual processor id from the Intel website

( also quora says that for amd, all processors are dual core, but since its quora, am not sure)

When i was buying the laptop , i barely knew what ddr3 and ddr4 ram is 😅

@Parzi in my case , goal was not to compress efficiently but to transfer fastly. So i kept the compression level to fastest and not the highest (on the weird winrar scale of store>fastest>fast>good>high>highest compression)

You guys are awesome! Thanks for the suggestions. Any particular company of ssd i should be wary of ? I am thinking of samsung but may adjust for other companies due to budget

@CptFox thanks . I think i would be asking that guy to transfer my windows on ssd and then install studio and chrome on it ( the 2 most laggy tools on my laptop)

Btw i checked and my friend was actually talking about some "indexing", that our os keeps on indexing files in the background so if an hdd is kept installed via caddy there would still be a performance hit. Is that true?

@electrineer haha wait before i tell you that i have ran intelliJ in my pentium 4 laptop when i first started in college. 4 months in and i was demanding for a better laptop more than fresh air.

Although it has been 3 years and this guy haven't disappointed me much until recently when my project sizes started to grow

"wait , there's one more thing "

Yeah stevie copycats ruined it for all xD

Update : i guess i fixed it. Was a realtech driver issue which i have no idea why it came a day after some stranger cracked open my laptop. Maybe he accidentally installed the window updates that i was delaying for the past few weeks

Benjamin franklin would like to tie you to his kite

@M1sf3t @C0D4 any help guys ? I am hoping he didn't took away my b&o speakers

Update : looks like i am fucked. The battery that guy replaced works fine, gives a nice backup of 1-2 hours of constant usage, but when i start watching a video, the sound fades away to 0 automatically

Also when the guy opened up my laptop, i found the battery to be swollen up around the edges and flattened in the center. I am guessing its due to my bad habits, since the laptop is only 3years old.

Can you guys suggest how should i be using the laptop in a way that my battery doesn't fuck up this time? I usually keep my laptop connected to charger almost all the time and unplug before going to bed

I did a backup of around 90% of the items tho

@M1sf3t yeah , so laptops have been the most costliest item in our middle class home in the last few years . So i never really tried tinkering around its screws and outside the software layer.

But ironically i have submitted my most prized possession to a complete stranger to get it fixed and this is freaking me out

Never even heard of it. And most of the times even reputed certificates like AAD are not much worthy, if you cannot impress with your work/skills

Shortest : a day
Longest : a month and still going :/

Its nice to see devs having hobbies other than coding and ranting

Since my head is full of sleep and strange thoughts (weird combination, i know) , here's something more : when gold is extracted fr the core of earth, it gets exchanged between many hands and its price also increases : if goldsmith got paid 10$ to extract it, his boss would sell it at 10x price to some gold wholeseller who would sell it at 100x price to jeweller , who would sell at a 1000x price to you, the customer.

However in coding there are almost no middlemen.

The coder could get his tools in 10$ and could earn 1000x profit by directly selling it to consumer . The metrics are not always exact, but the profit values are quite similar.

That's why in the top 5 earning companies , 4 of them are technology based

(But tbh there's more money in being a manager and more of a people's person than being a dev. I have always seen that people who fake their knowledge tends to go higher than people with real knowledge. Its a Devil's world.)

Because coding is a fancy name given to the task of building, fixing , using and having knowledge of some magical devices of 21st century called computers that are basically running everything.

Its like a newfound electricity for the mankind. You can certainly ignore it and live without it . But others won't ignore and eventually you would have to use it to achieve what others are achieving.

@electrineer you got some regex fantasies?

Its a risky domain. As long as you are not using the words " dungeons and dragons " or the original game characters or graphics or anything related to game except the logic ,then you are good to go. Case in point a millions of pubg like battle royale games which does not get banned.

"This file doesn't do anything ,but loads"

Golden words of a lazy ass developer 🤣

Meanwhile indian youtubers with hindi audio

If you don't mind , can you please tell me why and how do you read these books?

I couldn't understand the why because, judging by your name, i don't think a ceo would needing much of a programming knowledge in their daily life.

And i couldn't understand the "how" because i don't understand the how to "read" programming books in general. Should i be just mugging up the programs? Should i be making notes on them? Should i be trying to run them in some language? I get confused. What is your approach to *reading* programming books?

the worst crime you could ever commit in android dev is to stop a gradle build xD

@kamen tbf android studio runs okish on my laptop for most of my smaller projects. It would run even better in a 16 gig ram, but i believe its design principle to be the major reason of its lag. Judging by the build folder size (an avg of 200-250 mb) AS is continuously creating thousands of kb sized cache files while continuously running in the background to support its autocorrect feature and what not.
Thus i guess there's a continuous writing on a hard disk rom which might be causing the lag. And idk on what magic's apple devices run, bit they are smooth af. Super ugly ui, but fast af

@kamen i would rather say Android studio is "eirher run me on mac or we are done talking".
I might have slightly older system with 8gigs of ddr4 ram and i5 7th gen processor but it isn't too old

Jey mann that's a pretty solid app you made. Loved the animations. Although this does scream that you are not a perfect designer but more of a achieving developer :)

Thanks i hate toucans now
