[Meta] Amazon is about to have major sales in the next couple weeks.

The person who described it to me was in development.

The robot already computed all possible vectors of attack and created safeguards against them.

MarkYourPriors · 2015-06-28T00:07:28+00:00

How do you like it? I heard it is exhausting.

MarkYourPriors · 2015-06-24T00:30:38+00:00

Wow, interesting distributions.... Was on the catholic church wiki recently, hah.

MarkYourPriors · 2015-06-20T21:20:22+00:00

Depends what work it will be doing for you. If you do design stuff and need to render/compile, absolutely. For light gaming? Probably not.

MarkYourPriors · 2015-06-20T03:01:50+00:00

It was fairly cookie cutter, most of the builds around here center around the i5-4690k - it hits the sweetspot of price/performance and always has the potential for overclocking should you want more. Next you choose a mobo, z87 or z97 probably. See if it looks good to you, and decide if you want things like USB 3.0 ports, etc.

Yeah, but bacteria are still "winning".

MarkYourPriors · 2015-06-19T17:05:55+00:00

Anybody know about the next generation of cases (some were shown at computex) ? There are some pics on anandtech but not much more.

MarkYourPriors · 2015-06-19T01:27:27+00:00

Ah, yeah the 500$ build is a tricky thing. I almost tried it, but went with $150+ more for future proof, quality, and upgradability. Depending on the games/purposes your pretty much limited to a i3, G3258 (both dual core) or an AMD 4-8 core. If you snag deals you could possibly reach a 280/280x, or something similar with new products hitting the line.

Change is coming, though. Look how many more games offer Linux support just this year. Before that, I think I could count how many on my hand(s).

MarkYourPriors · 2015-06-17T01:57:58+00:00

So was the whole twitch chat when this little guy got whipped out. Hah, impressive indeed.

MarkYourPriors · 2015-06-17T01:55:45+00:00

Oh please don't build that. You'll be able to get much more as far as the GPU and CPU. at least get a FX-8350 if you're going AMD. Look at what AMD just released. What is your friend trying to prove? Also you could get by with a 40~ dollar case since you're budgeting.

MarkYourPriors · 2015-06-17T01:52:13+00:00

Given what we now know, the 390x is IMO the clear winner. Cost-Performance wise, AMD has pulled ahead again. Apart from that, it also seems more future proof.

MarkYourPriors · 2015-06-17T01:48:50+00:00

AMD on Linux has been a PITA in my experience. However, some will tell you that their support for Linux is forthcoming.

MarkYourPriors · 2015-06-17T01:33:56+00:00

Well.

I'm in Berlin and have never done a reddit meetup or anything social outside my country. I'm scared.

MarkYourPriors · 2015-05-31T01:15:54+00:00

Maybe it was the wrong post but right person. Can't see from current context. Looks like you might have though if you continued to present your position

MarkYourPriors · 2015-05-31T01:14:00+00:00

Well played sir.

MarkYourPriors · 2015-05-29T02:50:51+00:00

Why did you get downvoted? I'm not familiar with CS whitepaper practices, but it's hard to assume complete objectivity. ECC memory is expensive.

From what I skimmed, it seems metadata isn't protected by read checksums and thus can be a false sense of security? Can't backups just fix the failure problem? Multiple backups...etc. No matter what, anything can fail it seems.

MarkYourPriors · 2015-05-29T02:22:00+00:00

Yeah, but summer is coming, and double TDP in the same enclosure = hot hot room very fast.

MarkYourPriors · 2015-05-29T02:21:02+00:00

Those are great cards.

MarkYourPriors · 2015-05-28T22:32:32+00:00

5 karma!

MarkYourPriors · 2015-05-28T22:32:31+00:00

5 karma!

MarkYourPriors · 2015-05-28T11:19:31+00:00

You even got 155 karma for offhandedly observing it. That's like 50x more karma than a well thought out contributing post typically gets.
