@levie @photomatt Don't really agree with this. I think you should have goals that are hard but attainable, then "big hairy audacious goals" which are more aspirational, like gleaming statues on a hill above you that you can glance at from time to time and be reminded of the bigger picture.

@Patrick1Kennedy right as a complete used general computing NUC size bundle I get it, makes sense, in this case I wanted the Iris Plus (or "best capable in modern nuc") class graphics though. I did *consider* a used Skull Canyon for the same reasons, but decided not to.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DanielOCnr yes but it has SKULLS

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DanielOCnr that does look interesting but so does this https://t.co/wJu0WKcJuf

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Patrick1Kennedy these do not seem higher quality or value than the NUC I listed? Maybe just cheaper if you can get them at fire sale prices?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
note that newer versions of these NUCs inexplicably do not include the Iris Plus graphics, so the GPU performance is double plus terribad on those models. 🤷♂️

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Pinboard unsubscribing works fine in every case I've tried, too. So it's a very minor thing, and there *is* a solution.

@drewtetz I loved this show. Example https://t.co/XEMRwZMU9T

and yeah we had to drive into "town" to make the calls. Multiple days. Good times!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
after many calls for service (by me, not the AirBnB owner) truck rolled tuesday to fix phone/wifi (same service apparently), said hi and thanks, then inexplicably left without any fix. Also Henry stepped on a rusty nail while we were making smores so.. back to work now I guess 😐

@yomilly oh yeah free brings out the crazy *big* time. If it's something smaller I want to give away directly at my house (that has more value, or is bigger), I will always charge $20 to keep the free folks at bay.

@chicofranchico all the recent ones can do SNES no problem. It's N64 / dreamcast / Vita where things get sketchier, if you are interested in those

If you want something like this, the RG350 (or its metal cousin the RG350M) is the consensus choice from what I've read. OpenDingux is (usually) the OS: https://t.co/QUKMShxoDg

@codinghorror
@daljo628 @ivanhoe011 excellent, will give that a shot 👍

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@daljo628 is there a place you can buy it pre-set up? I am super lazy. Maybe etsy?

@shog9 @jlericson That is a very good answer

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rossrubin @ZDNet @Qualcomm @varjo @HP @Microsoft @oculus @PlayStation @XrSPace eventually the vendors will figure out that, at least with the current level of tech we have, VR basically sucks. We need multiple *decades* to get there.

@splattne I don't understand this article. She contaminated the elevator? By not wearing a mask, or not washing her hands.. or .. what?

@glompix @lizardbill I tend to agree that if you want to be good at a particular job, for whatever reason, all it takes is sufficient applied effort and enthusiasm.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lizardbill There's a distinction between physical work and mind work though. Enthusiasm and aptitude for mental puzzles kind of thing.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
OK actually for whatever reason it wasn't as bad as I thought. Apple will "repair" it (?) with the symptom of "won't charge" for $99 + shipping, even out of warranty. I was assuming it'd be the full $499.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
yes, Apple can "repair" it for $499 by essentially selling me another one, but I don't see the point. Maybe that's the only realistic option...

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chx @littlefyr @tovbinm it's definitely an expensive build (arguably needlessly so) but it is very well designed internally. The integrated power supply, etc.

@rwrife the max card is a RTX 2070 which is what I put in it. If you need more than that, you'd have to pick a bigger case for sure

It's the "Ghost Canyon", sequel to my beloved Hades Canyon, and my loved Skull Canyon before that. MAYBE I JUST LIKE SCARY SOUNDING CANYONS, MAN! https://t.co/TxnEnxOex5

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@GCrayon I hope you're right!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@james_clark Hades Canyon was considerably better because it had the Radeon Vega graphics integrated. Ghost Canyon is a step far beyond that, of course, since you can install a real mini-itx video card; this one has a RTX 2070 "mini"

@j4s0nn I don't know, I build computers when I'm stressed, which is pretty much all the time these days
