Agreed. I really don't care about how these CPUs do in FPS titles because I want to play at 4K and the GPU is going to be the bottleneck anyway. I want to know how it does late game Hearts of Iron 4 where the CPU might actually matter.

I'll never forget the joy of setting my Pentium 75 to run at 90 with a jumper in my old Packard Bell. Seemed like such a huge win and if you think about it, it really was (20% performance boost for moving a jumper). But then I'll never forget the horror of having to replace my original FIC SD11...

I'm nearing 40 now but this is a hobby I started in my early teens. The ecosystem just seemed much richer back then but that could just be me slowly creeping into "get off my lawn" mentality. I remember reading a lot of aceshardware which did some in depth reviews of architecture which I loved...

Not just data scientists... I've spent nearly the last decade involved in distributed databases in some way, shape, or form and for the life of me I can't figure out why, right now, everyone is in love with distributed immutable ledgers. Distributed immutable databases have been around a long...

Not sure what requirements that contract entailed, but we just got FedRAMP running on AWS (which is just our latest of many). Not sure specifically what your qualms are. Does that include the hardware RAID 60 card I need with enterprise level drives? I've been out of that space for awhile and...

I don't think anyone *ignored* the downsides but the business case makes sense. And I say that as someone who moved a pretty security-sensitive industry *to the cloud*. Because what I can't buy on Newegg is the knowledge and expertise to properly manage a nosql distributed database that...

The Northwoods were pretty damn good in their day. The 2.6-2.8C CPUs were champions upon release and a lot of people had them running at 3.5+ GHz. I had my 2.6C running at 3.6 and it was pretty freaking fast at the time.

I have a 2700x in a Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 5 (x470) with GSkill 3200CL15 (2x16 GB, dual rank) which is Samsung B die. It will *not* run at rated speeds. Best I can do is 3000 but I can lower CAS to 14. Anything over 3000 just results in random blue screens.

Colorado spends roughly $9900 per student. That's still ~$600 more than the average OECD country. If you don't like how the money is collected/distributed, then let's have that discussion. But don't pretend there isn't enough money. Sure, but again, don't pretend like this tax cut is the...

http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2015/apr/21/jeb-bush/does-united-states-spend-more-student-most-countri/ Or you can just look at the OECD data: https://data.oecd.org/eduresource/education-spending.htm That's a question of policy, not funding. Yeah, I'm sure all things would be...

I've spent money on premium peripherals for work, guess I'm underpaid. I haven't but my wife has. Instead of saying it was the hardest job ever, she got great enjoyment out of working with kids. It's why she taught in the first place. If you ask her, it was her summers working at a gas station...

Then it's a problem with policymaking. For some reason, we spend more in the US and get less. Before shoveling more money into that pit, I'd like to fix what we've got.

Median individual with masters: 52k Median household with masters: 78k A household with two median high school teachers salary would be killing it.

The US is near the top of the list when it comes to per capita spending on education. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-education-spending-tops-global-list-study-shows/ Also, the median salary for high school teachers is 58k/yr...

Yes, I probably would've gone smaller on the tax cuts while slowly reducing taxes and spending simultaneously. Saying it's "on the backs" of the middle class is probably a little hyperbolic though. But we'll have to wait for longer than a month to see how things pan out. I'm slightly younger...
