Ok, so for the rest of us that require precision, the mouse still exists.

$20 is a pretty cheap mouse. High quality gaming mice are easily in the $60+ category. $88 is a bit pricey, but expecting something like this to be equivalent to a commodity dell mouse is silly.

I've been looking for something new in the mouse world, so this is fairly exciting. My real beef that I see just from looking at photos, is that the buttons are glossy. Why would they choose that over a matte finish, especially for gam

No one asked for a $10,000 small as humanly possible trash can. What pro user cares about how small their desktop machine is? All we wanted was the cheese grater with upgrade components. Unfortunately for them, I'll be building another

You can definitely install a newer MacOS, they run fine. It's a 5 minute patch to the installer, and away you go. My 2008 has been running High Sierra without any issues. http://dosdude1.com/software.html

The 2008 MacPro was $3000 at the time, and was actually an outrageously good deal. A pair of the Xeon CPU's were roughly the same cost retail, nevermind the rest of it. Judging by the existing trash can one, it will be ridiculously ove

Pretty much at the end of my 2008 Mac Pro rope. Along with repair-ability, the base and upgrade pricing is just getting out of control. With a high spec mac mini approaching 2k, I can only imagine what the new MacPro will end up being. I su

Vast majority of projects will not reach two billion row tables(ID>0), but it should be something considered when planning, and regularly revisited in the future. BIGINT from the start uses twice as much space, if it's not needed, i

Sure, but it's not offline, ever. The debate isn't about the best RAID level for your usage.

RAID5 can be used normally while rebuilding. Albeit at reduced performance. It's definitely NOT read only as that is effectively the same as offline in a production environment.

Why can't they be literal? Shoe leather isn't poison. People involved with tasting, familiarize themselves with all kinds of flavors that aren't food, so they can describe what their smelling/tasting. The wine industry i

I think the 920 was fine, but the Xeon granted two more cores, and higher overclocking frequency for me, plus it was only $90. So more future proofing, as games take more advantage of multithreading. Increasing your RAM definitely should be

I can provide ALL the proof you need on my Asus STRIX 1070. I run everything at 2560x1600 synced to 60fps on my 30" monitor with Ultra settings. Those benchmarks are all enabling AA, which is just wasteful and not required at such reso

Still rocking my LGA1366 Motherboard from 2008 with a Xeon X5675 @ 4.0ghz that I "upgraded" from an I7920 for $90 on ebay , 16GB of RAM, SSD, and an nvidia 1070 as the gaming PC. Handles everything at 2560x1600 60fps+ ultra qualit

Exactly, if people aren't willing to pay for it, what exactly is the point of it? To waste your time? I understand if something is a hobby project, but dumping tons of your own resources just to provide a "free" service is du

Seriously, that alone was very disorienting jumping into PGSQL for the first time. The command line definitely not as user friendly as MySQL.

I moved my development side to WSL on the PC after giving up hope that Apple is ever going to replace my 2008 MacPro tower. The experience has essentially been flawless, and I'd consider it basically magic on how well it works. Best of

That's why you don't run a free service with actual value that people would pay for. F5Bot is just being taken advantage of in my opinion. They recently got front page of HN again, and their patreon page went from $41 a month to a

So what happens when people stop paying the Patreon and drops below $500, they close the source?

A 16 hours fast is so easily achievable that many probably do it without even knowing. If you stop eating by 8PM, and skip breakfast till lunch at noon. That's a 16 hour fast. I've done that basically my entire adult life without

This goes for basically any living creature. Exercise is massively beneficial. Just doing daily pushups will alleviate the majority of back pains people have from sitting at the computer all day.

That's how yesterday worked. Impeding recession is going to dry up that funny money. You're going to have to actually build products people want to pay for to survive. Two individuals being equal, there is no way the one working f
