@jwatte yeah it also does not magically make the pixels per inch requirement lower either. Would save GPU though

@wilshipley fancy single quote? Seriously? That is some artisanal Mac bullshit!

@codinghorror
@dorianmuthig it's not really that hot, so it depends on scale. Cables warm from exhaust.

@chx this is such a great recommendation, I cancelled my other order and bought 6 of these, 5200u/8gb/128gb -- thanks!!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@MalwareMinigun seriously? Dongles?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chx very good price indeed but massive overkill for what I need. Wish there was i3 version!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chx that is a good deal though! Anything similar with two Ethernet ports?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chx also, needs two Ethernet ports for network use

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chx pay attention to TDP budgets, otherwise, apples and watermelons

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chx at 4.5w tdp passively cooled?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@alphacolin interesting to look at official specs from pfsense, just bay trail again.. https://t.co/g4jscymgRi

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@alphacolin no wait, that is a slower models so yeah in the ballpark! What CPU grunt does pfsense require to work?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@alphacolin looks like the AMD A4 is quite a bit faster per core https://t.co/XEhsL3TOCP

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@alphacolin how much perf does pfsense need?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@alphacolin hmm Bay Trail. So atom.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@MalwareMinigun with two Ethernet ports?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wintaru much smaller, 4.5w TDP, fanless. Different weight class though.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@adamwika yep, have linked that on Twitter in the past.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cottonbureau sure shoot me an email

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nayafia great stuff, VERY surprised you didn't mention the OpenSSL debacle which was a huge wakeup call.

@George__Lee any articles on this automation?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@George__Lee does that cover cheating? Can you actually _cheat_ at LOL??

@nicksahler long term best case you get the YouTube copyright detection system: to 100% evade it you must degrade (fakeplay/act) video

@codinghorror
@ajtowf sorry, I don't accept any reasons I am an idiot that are not in list form

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@GABeech @Nick_Craver deceptive, they are running a custom test. But there are Skylake Xeon e3s, yes.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver @GABeech these were non ECC though. I also had a confirmed bad Intel CPU. Figure the odds on that one.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@GABeech @Nick_Craver I can't believe memory used to cost MORE than 2.5x from Dell. Datapoint: out of 28 16gb DIMMs I ordered, one was DOA

Jeff Atwood

@hairboat @kevinmontrose WELCOME TO HELL

@johnolilly @ansanelli excellent article, has a dupe para under "Do you have a great team?"

@dave_heath 3 years. some keys were pretty worn. keycaps are designed to be replaced, like tires on a car etc

@ewh105 every meeting should have a few action items to do afterward, otherwise, that meeting was pointless

@sonyaellenmann depends how much people are into masochism, I suppose

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@richardtomsett exactly see also https://t.co/QhB2noW0pt

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@richardtomsett consider that multi-core CPUs weren't mainstream until 2008-2009 for example

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@richardtomsett no there was tons of raw CPU perf gain from 2004-2011

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chrisrgc no need, I've run it on a dozen Skylake CPUs. But whatever gets you through the night.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chrisrgc nah, that's a custom run of Prime95. All other Skylakes I've used passed normal Prime95 torture test without issue.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@elaptics @tenderlove @andrewdotnich I literally type by firing guns at the keyboard. Too loud? You're too old.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tinkertim @JasonPunyon figuratively. Or literally. You know, whatever gets me through the day.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JasonPunyon would you fuck these keys? I'd fuck these keys.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@codeyoxley you'd have to contact WASD, but warning, hardware is a whole different world. minimum 2 years for the smallest change at all

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@codeyoxley TBH I prefer real buckling spring, but neither is gonna happen..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@FlatFootFox https://t.co/SA1RyKOqNa so far so good, number keys are a bit :( on backlight but otherwise, good!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@MalwareMinigun @mhi_inc it would be like buying a new car because your tires are bald. I mean, you /could/, but..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@MalwareMinigun @mhi_inc you don't really NEED to, the keycaps are the main things that wear out and they're *designed* to be replaced.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@xaade I don't think being a high ranking Nazi is a good thing?

@jonobacon I need to take the kids to benihana!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@yuhong2 @Nick_Craver the transition to non-insane priced 32gb is well underway today. 64gb, gonna be 2-3 years.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver @JasonPunyon @GABeech well, it would not be the end of the world for SO to be read only for, say, an hour.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake the spelunky hell speed run kid? Yeah nooooo thanks

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver @JasonPunyon @GABeech I agree it has a lot of downsides but for handling unexpected stuff, it is unbeatable.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JasonPunyon @Nick_Craver @GABeech no no, this is for the "unexpected things broke a lot" scenario. Not ram.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver @JasonPunyon @GABeech oh right per core, isn't software licensing fun? I really miss that. Wait no. I don't.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver @GABeech hybrid cloud is the answer there. Cloud is awesome at unexpected crap, but perf lousy and expensive

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JasonPunyon @Nick_Craver @GABeech but who will pay for the SQL server licenses on all those CPU holes

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@GABeech @Nick_Craver this is the Linux way, I just buy 2x-3x the hardware we need, still end up ahead. Sysadmin time ain't free though

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver @GABeech luckily I was able to afford twice as many spares so, still good ;)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver @GABeech everything I touch has to survive memtest86 overnight no matter how magically blessed the dimms may be

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver @GABeech my view ain't shifting enough to spend 2.5x the fair market cost of a 16gb ddr4 dimm. I could buy two and be ahead.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver bit rapey pricing for my tastes, but it will be a cold day in hell before Dell gets any of my money.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver nah you are just seeing crazily inflated 16gb costs because enterprisey gnome underpants from Dell

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver that 250% price gap better have a lot of Magic enterprisey super sauce rubbed into it :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver it is nice to have 32gb dimms as a safe future upgrade path for sure.. Seems quite safe, will approach 2x 16gb price soon-ish

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver wow, that is a super ripoff price for 16gb ECC ddr4 dimms vs. newegg. Discount would need to be over 50%.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@loseth click the tutorial button

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@loseth it does already? Maybe you can screenshot what you are referring to?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver 32gb / dimm price is 3x the 16gb / dimm cost on newegg right now, probably worse in the past?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver 64gb per dimm on the other hand is a hurt pup, at least for now

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver number of newegg ddr4 ECC options next to each native size, 32gb looks ok https://t.co/Bq1FyQgM6G

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver possibly! Most of the supermicro boards I looked at have max eight dimm slots per socket, but there are so many variants

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver "With Purley, Intel is moving from a quad-channel memory architecture to a hex- channel memory ..." 50% more as I already said

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Donny_V go read the relevant blog posts I already wrote

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver so 32gb x 8 or in 2017, 32gb x 12. Beyond that 64gb dimms have to become possible and a lot cheaper

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver you are right though we can go from 16gb to 32gb / dimm right now and by 2017 Purley gives us 50% more dimm slots per cpu

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Nick_Craver might not matter, 32gb dimms are possible now and by 2017 Purley / Skylake Xeon e5/e7 with 50% more dimm slots per socket
