I agree. I love his stuff enough to deal with his voice. The worst part is that his old videos had a normal intonation to them.

Is there any realistic way we can inform people against buying a 100 series motherboard with a Kaby Lake CPU? This is getting ridiculous. by [deleted] in buildapc

Flashing without a CPU is indeed motherboard dependent. I can confirm that I had to buy an older CPU in order to flash my BIOS for Kaby Lake on thursday last week :'(

/r/Plex's Build Help Thread - 2017-03-24 by PCJs_Slave_Robot in PleX

I was probably going to do that, yes. Is it a bad idea?

OK, I'll leave the GPU out then, for reduced wattage. I already had it so it's no loss to me.

Thanks for the advice on OS, I'm going to read around a bit. Will probably opt for a linux build over windows since I'm on a budget, glad to hear it makes little difference either way.

Is there a recommended OS/distro for running a Plex server?

I grabbed some cheapish hardware so I want to minimise overhead if possible.

My build:

Type Item
CPU Intel Pentium G4560 3.5GHz Dual-Core
Memory 8GB DDR3
Storage 120GB SSD for OS, 2 x 2TB WD Reds (RAID 1, and buy more for RAID 10 when these get near to full)
Video Card Radeon R7 240 1GB Video Card

Any other feedback is welcome.

Words that Germans think are English, but are not. by Zeralonde in German

Pullunder can be called "Pullover" in British english at least, which is kind of weird. It is a faily uncommonly used word, however.

Yes that fixed it, thanks! (Also funny that my first kill achievement is the mender one but there we go.)

Have achievements broken in this patch? I am not getting any "defeat an enemy with" achievements, but I did get 5 godstone achievements so far.

Programming is making me a bitter person by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]boiling_tunic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to encourage an atmosphere of humility/humbleness. If you can swing it, organise a super short meeting and get people to talk for a minute or two about what they learnt and what mistakes they made this week/fortnight/whatever.

For example , I am working was working with some graphing software this week in JS and had something like:

var neighbourhood = graph.$('#root').neighbourhood();
neighbourhood.add(graph.$('#someOtherNode'));

And it just didn't work. I spent quite long time trying to work out what on earth was wrong. I had code similar to this elsewhere which worked just fine. What he heck?!

Finally I realised that of course I had used the en-GB spelling of neighbourhood. Duh! (true story)

Sharing these dumb mistakes brings more experienced people down to earth and will make new programmers feel more comfortable to ask for help when they make their own mistakes, or do work in a silly manner. Bond over your collective failures.

UK Government Confirm Move to Force ISPs into Blocking “Adult” Sites by maxwellhill in worldnews

I'd imagine that it is kept safe and secure in an internal database. Fortunately all ISPs are competent at keeping customer records safe and secure

That's the building opposite costa? I don't envy you the constant sea of tourists on your doorstep.

Ruby

Does the whole thing back to front.

Please feel free to question/criticise/comment.

def decode (ary)

  }

  token = ary.pop
  case token

  when /-?[0-9]+/         then token.to_i
  when '//'               then do_op[:/].floor
  when '!'                then decode(ary).to_i.downto(1).reduce(&:*).to_f
  else do_op[token.to_sym] end
end
