    What would you say is the easiest programming language to use today?

    Sorry, I wasn't trying to throw shade on Python. I put it down as fun/hobby because I think it's quick and easy to learn enough to be useful day to to day. And I put C# down as career because in my experience it pays more.

    What would you say is the easiest programming language to use today?

    I think it depends on your goal. IMO... Career - C# (.NET) Hobby/Fun - Python Also, if you want to do anything even remotely involving websites, JS is an almost unavoidable requirement.

    ChatGPT made an email validity function - what do you think?

    So much this! Approaching this from a user POV... I've been searching around for quotes from multiple places This isn't exactly an exciting task - boring in fact, so I want to get it done as quickly and easily as I can. I really don't want to sign up unless it's to receive a bespoke quote, but...

    Chatgpt and Programming

    I was sceptical at first, but after using ChatGPT and Copilot nearly every day for over a year now, I think they're great and have definitely helped my productivity. I use Copilot the most, with % use being: 80% - 'intellisense on steroids' it's 50/50 if it suggests exactly (or near enough)...

    Any good in having separate drives for OS and storage?

    I would definitely go with at least 2 drives. I've always had one for the OS and most programs and one for everything else. The idea being that if anything goes awry, at worst, I can just nuke the OS drive and quickly restore from an image. I'm just about to add another though, so I can have it...

    TSOHost

    Thanks for posting this as it's reminded me that I need to ditch them. I was on the cheapest package as I just needed a place to host a few domains that get zero traffic and to occasionally host a file or two. Definitely overpaying now for what I need.

    Corsair RGB Splitter a thing?

    I hope this is allowed as you cannot purchase these on OCUK.... There's a guy on ebay who makes custom Corsair RGB splitters. I won't link to him, but do a search and you should be able to find him pretty easily.

    New card for new monitor

    I ended up going with the Dell S2716DG and a Zotac 980ti and don't regret it.

    JS, is this too much code?

    Sorry this is in noob-y jQuery, but should be easy enough to convert to vanilla. function onload(){ $('#left, #right, #up, #down').each(function(){ var $this = $(this); var id = $this.attr('id'); $this.on('touchstart touchend', function(){...

    COD: Black Ops III

    Playing with a FPS cap of 58 solved my mouse lag issues. I'm also using Process Lasso to automatically keep the .exe priority at high. I still get the occasional 'fps drop' drop, even though the actual FPS never moves from 58, but it's much better than before.

    quick basic javascript question

    np. Regarding vars, the general rule of thumb is that if you're going to reference an element more than once, put it in a var. If you wrote longhand and pulled 5 attributes off an element, that's 5 separate times the browser would have to search through the DOM to find your element. Doing...

    quick basic javascript question

    I would generally go with the first example just because it's more flexible. However, the second is acceptable (imo) if there is little/no chance that you'll actually use it later on. camelCase is definitely the most common, but it's up to you really; just be consistent. (Also, if editing...

    Dealing with images in a responsive design

    IMO, img srcset and the picture element are ready for prime time, provided you're using a polyfill like picturefill. (more img srcset than picture though) With img srcset, you define a set of sources and it's up to the browser to 'choose' the right one based on device and connection...
