Knock on wood, I've had good luck with the Aorus Master from Gigabyte. The only thing I'm missing support for (and not a dealbreaker) is S/PDIF for digital audio out on Linux. I had no install issues. It ran rock solid under

You'll definitely need it for the 3970X. I run one on a Noctua NH-U14 (running in push-pull with one of their 2000RPM industrial fans and the included 1500RPM fan), and it can get toasty under sustained load. The Noctua typically tests

Thanks for the clarification. I did not know that reference, and it seems we're much more in alignment than I thought. I still hold that the target moves discontinuously, though not universally so. Death is the strongest argument here.

I'd push back on your use of "current equilibrium", based on how I interpret this phrase. If my interpretation is off, then I apologize. It reads to me as if you're presenting the world as having a single equilibrium tow

This is a good way to think about it. Certainly more helpful than many other short explanations I've seen attempted. Am not economist, but do have econ degree. Edit for slight clarification: The phrasing suffers from anthropomorphizing

Picking a nit, the article claims that a free market works only in equilibrium. This is a spherical cow in a vacuum view of economics. Markets, in general, can be seen as moving toward an incalculable equilibrium (at least not calculable in

I agree. I work in Microsoft's SQL Server (incl. variations, e.g. Azure SQL DW) quite a bit. Based on my experience, I am the only person using semicolons in T-SQL.

You can. First, find or implement a library in your language of choice to store indexed data on disk. Then implement some very hairy logic to make sure your read and write operations are ACID. Then choose an algorithm for the query you'

And yet, it is perfect for me. I end up zooming most web pages somewhere between 150%-200%. Right now I have HN at 200% zoom. This is on a 12" 1080p laptop. I do similar on a 27" 1440p on my desktop. Turns out that one person'

That's hard to say. The timelines are too long. I don't think we'll see ARM primacy in PCs within the decade. If you read my reply to a sibling post of yours about what I mean by "nowhere close", you can see some of

For the purposes of this conversation, I'll define "nowhere close as follows (and willing to put money on the prediction, if you'd like to negotiate such): "Primary" means simple majority. >50% ARM market share f

You are correct. Just a nit: it's usually referred to as "instructions per cycle" or IPC, rather than "operations per cycle."

I tend to agree with you, but availability of the text of the statutes is not at issue in the case here. In all of the opinions, every justice agrees that the text of the laws should be freely available, and not one of them raised any issue

Fair use is not that simple, and the original authors would most likely win a suit against such a "critique". Typically the defense of fair use would apply to a work that excerpts from a larger work. Copying the original work in w
