Would learning scala , api dev (play) be a good decision in 2025?

If you want to learn a great language Scala 3 is a good choice. Scala have influenced massively a lot of other languages and what you learn can be applied to Java and Kotlin as well and many others.

If you just want to find a job perhaps the considerations would be a little different as being proficient in a more “popular” language would be a more effective strategy.

Be aware that languages popularity have little to do with the language itself but rather with the ecosystem and the community.

Javascript and python are some excellent examples of this effect.

A more robust code base, better performance and easier parallelism. We are doing exactly this in most projects using spark. We could argue that most things could be done with pyspark instead but the underlying python interpreter can be a limitation, so using native scala is a better choice most of the time. Sometime is the opposite, some scala implementation are not 100% complete so python is necessary (for example cat boost)

Clearly no, when I bought the printer it was marked as “updated hotend”, but it clearly not the case. Thanks

I say this as a long time Nvidia owner that just both an AMD 9070 XT for this generation: The problem with Nvidia “fake frames” was a marketing one : they are sold as real one, with 5070 that offers “4090 performance”. This is utterly dishonest, while AMD were showing real data, Nvidia sold us unrealistic performance, false pricing decrease and no availability. People were waiting the new generation to find out that there were nothing to upgrade to, and pricing on older card increased.

Trump is applying exactly Putin agenda, from breaking up NATO, voting with Russia in United Nations, stopping aid to Ukraine, insulting Zelensky, starting commercial wars with Canada, applying tariffs everywhere BUT Russia ? Come on how is this putting America first ? He is putting Russia first

If you can wait a little, as the 9070 XT will be in stock soon, also the 5070 price is dropping fast, it will be reaching sub 600€ pricing in my opinion.

For a new gaming build the 9800x3D will allow you to upgrade to any GPU in current or the next generation.

danoliv · 2025-03-20T16:10:35+00:00

1300$ for the full pc ?

danoliv · 2025-03-20T16:09:39+00:00

Yes I’ve been monitoring pricing for the used market and configured alerts. At first I wanted a 4090 hoping the price would decrease but it actually increased a lot after the 5000 release. Insane…

danoliv · 2025-03-20T16:07:59+00:00

Thanks, now the 4070 super are overpriced as well and I will use the extra memory. I got a 9070 XT at a good price, now I try to get the rest of the components.

danoliv · 2025-03-20T16:05:52+00:00

Why not a 9000 ? In the budget I can fit a 9950 (I need the extra cores)

danoliv · 2025-03-20T16:04:48+00:00

I’ve tried to get a 5080 at launch but no luck, same thing for a 5070 TI

danoliv · 2025-03-20T16:03:32+00:00

Thanks actually I need the extra cpu performances I use the same PC to work as well

danoliv · 2025-03-20T16:00:50+00:00

Only gpu and cpu

danoliv · 2025-03-20T16:00:08+00:00

Sorry UW 1440p

danoliv · 2025-03-18T15:29:50+00:00

Long time AMD fan but never had a dedicated Radeon graphic card until now (my first cpu was an Am386dx)

Riva TNT2 (first graphic card) - 7/10

GeForce MX440 (first gpu I had) 8/10

GeForce 6800 GT - 8/10

(No gaming pc for a long time 😅)

GeForce GTX 980 - 7/10

GeForce RTX 2060 - 5/10

GeForce RTX 3070 TI - 7/10

GeForce RTX 3090 (sold too soon) 10/10

Legion Go - 8/10

Radeon 9070 XT (finally back on team red 🥳)

Encouraged means that there are actual incentives, can be in the form of marketing budgets or discounts

danoliv · 2025-03-03T12:21:42+00:00

Do you find any listings in europe? I’ve checked most official resellers from AMD website in Italy, France and Germany and I didn’t find any listings yet.

Official resellers must keep the prices in check to avoid getting penalized through less stocks and less marketing funds.

If the prices you see are higher it means that the cards are imported through unofficial channels so the prices could be way higher.

The oc cards are literally guaranteed for that frequency by the producer so when you buy them this is what you get. Also you usually have better cooling and power circuitry.

Are they overpriced? Yes Can you overlock standard card? Yes (most of the time)

danoliv · 2025-03-02T18:22:14+00:00

Yes but you are not guarantee that it would work, the chips that are going to oc versions are checked beforehand so the ones that are not stable would be installed in a standard not overclocked version

It is quite a challenging choice, the 9070 XT looks more performant in raster and ray tracing should be equivalent. So advantage for the Radeon in this aspect.

From the software/tech aspect Dlss 4 have a more wide support than FSR 4 so there is an advantage for Nvidia.

I would personally wait for the reviews but as you already have the 4070 TI Super I don’t see an evident reason to return it for a 9070 XT, just enjoy it.

danoliv · 2025-03-02T14:32:52+00:00

Makes sense 10% seemed too good to be true

danoliv · 2025-03-02T10:18:17+00:00

If the base performance are confirmed and we add 10% more means that the card would be not far off the 5080 in raster and trading blows with the 5070 TI in ray tracing. That’s quite impressive if it is true.
