But even there you see the problem. The Ryzen CPUs are only in their lower end budget systems, and the Threadrippers are only in their expensive high end systems. If you need a 'mid-level' system (like we buy where I work), with s

Rank the different poetic metres from lowest to highest score? What is objectively the hardest type of metaphors to execute perfectly? How many fewer points should a simile get compared to an equivalent metaphor? Are onomatopoeia worth any

It's really hard to buy pre-built high end desktop computers from big brands with the latest AMD CPUs.

Those events aren't decided by the judges just going on how 'cool' they think the performance was, but by comparing how close to perfect (as defined in the rule book) the techniques the athlete did was and then giving it a sc

it's that competing in the sport would be economically out of reach for much of the world. I don't know anything about 'high end' bowling, but I cannot see how it could be any more expensive than many other sports at t

everyday all over the world If you need updates more often than once a week, you're going to have to take a different approach, since OSM only publish their database exports once a week. In that case you're going to have to use

For updates you're probably better off just regenerating and replacing the mbtiles file from scratch every time you want a new version, rather than trying to incrementally update it.

All the sports you mention have had most of the artistic elements beaten out of them by standardised scoring systems. No one wins olympic gold in figure skating or synchronised swimming by being artistic, they do it by repeatedly and perfec

Why not have all judging panels selected like this? I'd love to see 6 people chosen at random judging the dressage based entirely on whatever they happen think dressage should be judged on. And at the same times the riders are trying t

Worth noting that these are vector tiles and not raster tiles, so zoom levels work slightly differently. Generally you don't need as high zoom level with vector tiles since it is much easier to 'zoom in' on vector data than o

On the other hand if you don't know what "OSM" is, then you probably don't need this, and probably don't need to care.

There are two ways to store map tile data like OSM. One is as pre-rendered raster tiles (256x256 png images) and the other is as tiles of vector data that get rendered either on the fly by dedicate rendering middleware or rendered client si

My point is that I worked at a couple of different places that where considering XServer RAID setups, and as part of that I read everything I could find, attended live presentations of the hardware and talked to people online who where usin

It was overpriced and didn’t have a lot of software. That's not how I remember it at all. Apple XServers cost about the same as the competition and the XServer RAID was a bargain compared to similar hardware offerings at the time. An

Trains can work great for either passengers or freight. The problems arise when you try to do both at the same time (on the same line). If the US was to dramatically improve its passenger service it would have to either build an entirely ne

To continue the jazz comparison, I guess this would be the competent jazz trio knocking out by the book jazz standards in the corner of a bar. They'll probably never make it big or become famous, and most people will forget about them

Capitalism gives me options. I can get expensive tasty locally grown tomatoes when in season, if I want, while still being able to get really cheap tomatoes at any time of the year.
