Seconded. I help to manage an open organization (an open source project, non-revenue, so thankfully no need to worry about profit sharing) and it's often damn hard. I was hoping to see a platform with tools specifically tailored for distributed organizations to make collaboration and communication easier. But as soon as I see anything related to cryptocurrencies, it puts me on high alert. I don't pretend that it's fair, but there's too many scam artists at large looking to exploit suckers for a quick buck to be anything other than cautious.

OT:

I am in the market for an upgrade to my home PC. I use it for Compiling and Gaming.

I am finding the sheer variety of CPU's and their weird naming conventions utterly confusing. Then combine that with the almost-as-confusing choice of motherboards and the bit-better-but-not-much choice of RAM and I am completely lost.

Any tips out there for finding a path through this maze, how do I upgrade my PC without requiring an advanced degree in Intel/AMD marketing speak?

EDIT: Added use of PC.

Red Hat Ansible Engile
What do you think? Does this change your view about the prospects of Ansible after the Red Hat's acquisition?
I'd love clarity on this (specifically because it's hard for me to believe you've done smsc integration 220 times already).
No, I sit in a team where I'm the magical devops (I've been a backend developer for more than 10 years, took DevOps roles in 2 different companies, had front end and mobile experiences at some startups, etc.) and I love to share and teach my teammates when I'm the only person with the right skillset.

My work ethics motto is to work for my own obsolescence, if you are in a team for more than 3-6 months and there are still people that really can't participate anyhow in a part of your tasks then your team is failing.

Of course I wouldn't apply this for a team where MAJOR higher education skills are necessary (like a PhD on some specific IA or statistics background) but really... 90% of this industry isn't in a team like that so there's a lot of room for improvements.

And please, be civil, I don't appreciate snarky comments (and neither does HN).
What I’d like is for compiler authors to just admit this and include a lint mode.

There’s some practical and political difficulty with adding new warnings to a widely used compiler, partly because you don’t want to generate too many new warnings for existing code, partly because people compile with -Werror and upgrading the compiler will break (well, sprain) their build. Those difficulties would be easy to skirt by just tossing new warnings into lint mode and promoting them to compiler warnings if they turn out to be very useful in practice.
Thanks for fixing the link - I was going to remove this comment for the sake of being tidy (sys admin thinking) but it appears I can't delete it, only edit it.

So I've done that.

Cheers!
anandtech.com used to be an okay source, but it is getting worse pretty quick, non-sense article like this is helping anantech to get that position fast. threadripper 1950x is not the overall best workstation processor, it is more like a toy for kids into gaming/overclocking.

1950x is slow for multithreaded applications, it has a low cinebench score of ~3,000, you pay some serious $ for a fancy motherboard full of LED lights, then you don't have officially verified ECC support.

As a comparison, you get the same mutithreaded speed, much cheaper system cost if you just buy second hand dual 2696v2 processors with real ECC support. if you need real processing power in a single box and have a tight budget, there is a flood of E5-2696v4 processors on the market at $950-1,100 each. for a much nicer budget, you can always go dual/quad Intel 8180.

I'm not sure - the exact voices themselves generally aren't published, but the papers are detailed enough that you could recreate the system if you wanted.
Somewhat off-topic, but I need to replace my ancient workstation and would love a recommendation. I prefer to max cores and do not care much for clock speeds (I work mostly on algorithm development and can parallelize experiments relatively easily but often run multiple unrelated tests). 10-15k budget.

I was thinking of dual-CPU Z840; are there better options?
Since when is the blockchain free? You still have to pay a transaction fee.

And with your scheme there's still the problem of how do you scale it? Even if you hope that you'll be able to settle the transaction without disagreement you still have to select a third party "just in case". I can't see working at scale unless you have "professional" third parties with good reputation who will be able to oversee a big number of transactions without being tempted to cheat the system. Why would these third party accept to work for free?

Maybe those parties would accept to be paid only in case of dispute but in this case (if the number of disputes is a very small proportion of all transactions) they'll probably ask for a significant amount of money to break even. You want this third party to be very reputable and hard to corrupt after all, that means that they must have a significant amount of money at stake. You don't want some dude doing it as his weekend project in his basement.

Furthermore the one contesting the transaction will have to be the one who pays the company because how could they force the other one to give money? In turns that means that this neutral third-party becomes biased, it has an incentive to side with whoever paid them to weigh in on the transaction since they've effectively become their customer.

That's kind of my problem with this entire blockchain thing, people are reinventing the wheel, telling everybody they're going to "kill the banks!" but they never stop to wonder why our current system works the way it does. I'm not saying that things are perfect as they are but if you don't learn from past mistakes you're doomed to reproduce them.

I was just (re-thinking) about this at work.. Just bought a Yubikey and was basically going to start from scratch with my PGP setup.

I really don't like the idea of storing anything really critical on a usb drive or an airgapped system.

I don't have an airgapped computer just laying around that I can store secrets on (and keep alive), and I don't trust a usb drive to last.

I really wish there was something like a clean way to store an encrypted printout that could be scanned years later if neccesary, ie a method of storage that I actually have faith would reliably survive for a decade or more.
Nobody's complained, and I am one of the people responsible for fixing such complaints.

First of all no one has really successfully solved the running Autocad etc. in the cloud problem. Secondly the per core performance is generally pretty poor on cloud computers when compared to high end workstations and for many workloads 16 really fast cores beat out 64 slower cores.

Finally, cloud computing is still really expensive compared to dedicated hardware. A halfway decent EC2 'workstation' like the p2.xlarge is over $5000 a year (plus storage) if you pay for the whole year up front and that 'only' gets you 4 cores and 60 GB of RAM (and a pretty good GPU). $5000 will buy you a really nice workstation with much better specs, and you get to keep it at the end of the year
An article on RNA forming in ice pockets: http://discovermagazine.com/2008/feb/did-life-evolve-in-ice
I used an Acer Chromebook 13 (Tegra K1-based) for a couple of years, not as my primary machine, but as my only laptop. I paid $350 for it on sale, in 2014.

Generally, it worked just fine. 99% of the stuff I do on a computer these days is via a web browser, so I didn't feel like I was missing too much. I also highly appreciated the light weight, fanless design and 10+ hour battery life. And the touchpad was seriously good, I'm talking Macbook-level quality, an absolute delight to use.

However, it did have some performance issues. Forget having more than 10 tabs open at the same time, I had to install The Great Suspender to avoid slowdowns. Having music playing in the background from Google Play Music while simultaneously browsing other websites was impossible. Initially, it would play 1080p Youtube videos just fine, but thanks to various updates, codec changes and such, I had to force it down to 720p30 by the end, just to be able to watch videos without frame dropping.

And of course I couldn't install anything on it that wasn't a Chrome plugin/app. So no Spotify client (and the current web player sucks, big time). No games. No decent video player, and the preinstalled one can't play videos with AAC sound, probably due to licensing issues.

After some time, I got fed up with all of these issues, so I sold it and bought a refurb Thinkpad T420, also for around $350. It's bigger, heavier, has a worse touchpad and gets worse battery life. On the other hand, the performance is light years ahead and I can install everything I want, not just whatever can function in a browser.
Could you store them as a series of QR codes, printed and laminated? Even if QR fades out of style, the algorithm is well-known.

Alternatively, if this is a "oh, shit" backup solution, you could just print and laminate the key, and enter it by hand years later, if necessary.

Yeah, that's correct. In my experience 'EEA' is a well understood shorthand for 'non-EU EEA members', since that's the context under which 'EEA' is most often used.

Your point seems to make sense in GPU lands as well. Nvidia offers ECC on their workstation class GPUs - quadro - but not on their gaming GPU - gtx.
It's a very good question.

As to a condition required for this to operate safely, I think it depends on having a clear set of morals and values in society that we agree on. The West has lost that after the boom post WWII. Maybe it will find its way back, and "moral authority" will be something people mostly agree on again. I think the way we get there is by debate, so we need to be able to openly talk about and criticise a whole range of ideas, nothing should be off the table during the debating phase.

As to the operation of it with supervision, hopefully, for those of us in democracies, it operates in the same way that our democracies operate, where the guards of the people are guarded by the people. At least, that's the idea, right?
Well I don't think there's anything about ECC, or at least unbuffered ECC, that should make memory slower than non-ECC memory. "Fast" memory it seems to me is also just a marketing thing. If ECC was considered mainstream as it should be then I think we'd have overpriced '4000MHz Gaming X Raptor' ECC modules all the same. I'm also not convinced that unbuffered ECC makes memory modules significantly more expensive.

Basically there's no evidence that ECC memory is signficantly slower or more expensive than non-ECC memory. Obviously it's slightly more complex than non-ECC memory, but it's not a particularly high-tech addition. For all its supposed complexity/slowness, Samsung is using it in its caches on their Exynos SoCs.

Everything can be perfectly explained in terms of market segmentation.

‘Mind-Boggling’ Math Could Make Blockchain Work for Wall Street
there are claims online that 7401p has a cinebench score of 4,200+, if such claim is true, then it is much faster than 1950x for cpu intensive embarrassingly parallel workloads.

the problem is you can't easily buy a 7401, there is no video online verifying the claimed cinebench score is a pretty good example on how hard to get access to one.

$999 for the best choice seems really high to me. I understand that they're trying to generalize a broad range of applications, but still.

They mention the Ryzen 5 is better bang for the buck, but dismiss it for having "low overall performance." I guess I'm wrong in thinking that, for 98% of people, a $250 CPU would still be wasteful.

Thank you! That sentiment on HN about how "Everything should have ECC" really grinds my gears. There is no need for ECC in your iPhone or on your MacBook. Your average emoji-laden WhatsApp Conversation with your friends does not require Bit Error Correction. People who really need ECC do exactly what you just mentioned: Evaluate, and often enough they will find little to gain from ECC.

Interesting system where you can bring your own things to prison instead of being forced to buy 300% price increased items from the prison commissary in N. America like clothing, fans, radios.

System here is very different in other ways such as being in a 200+ inmate dorm is the standard instead of cells, and there's dozens of rules set by inmates none of which were in this guide. You also get a 'prison consultant' if you can in the US if you are pleading guilty, they help you choose your own prison as part of the plea deal such as Madoff who's prison lets him teach other inmates economics.

> Agile gives the programmer a voice in the process

This is not my experience of "agile"; in practice, it's a conveyor belt of user stories in a feature factory, and developers are simply cogs in the meat grinder.

You can try and feed information in via estimates, sure, but that can only marginally change how the product evolves under the prevailing winds. Unless you give silly estimates, you have a hard time changing product management's mind much. And it's not a route for coming up with new features by recombining already existing work.

Basically, IPC in an Intel core is a bit better than in an AMD core. Keeping this in mind, you can compare core counts, frequency, power draw, PCIe lines or whatever floats your boat.

To compensate for a lower IPC, AMD will give you more cores (sometimes a lot) for the same price.

It all depends of what you need your processing power for.

While it is always "fun" (for some definition of the word fun) to pile on, and sometimes watch the otherwise clueless elected officials to get soundbites at the expense of a hapless CEO of a company that did bad things, or allowed bad things to happen on their watch ... the bigger picture is one of what sequence of events enabled this to occur. Placing the blame on an OSS component, or a "sole IT" person is both unfortunate, and generally wrong.

None of this would have come to fruition had the business model not been one of "lets gather and curate high value information and intelligence about individuals", without an appropriate "gee, we have high value intelligence and information on individuals, maybe we should design our systems so that in the event of a failure of a security system, damage would be minimal." When you aggregate, curate, sell access to high value information, you damned well better have a good and fail safe security model. So if your DCs are overrun with hackers, the data exfiltrated would be unusable.

More specifically, the principle I claim to be implicitly at play here is, with great power and/or information, comes great responsibility. Pointing fingers at lower level subordinates for their possible failings ... opening up and exposing the entire business model's core weaknesses in terms of data protection, and data access integrity and control ... means that the organization has simply failed to maintain, audit, test, and verify that its control systems are adequate to the task. Blaming an OSS component for all the damage means that the rest of the systems were not designed and built to the necessary level of safety and security.

This is part of what I find unconscionable. They attempt to absolve themselves of blame by pointing fingers.

When an organization does crap like this, you know they have many other problems. And yes, you cannot, and should not trust them going forward. If data was exfiltrated from them (and it was), is it possible that their data was altered in situ? Yes, yes it is.

They should not be allowed to have such data in their control again. Seriously, if you can't control access to the data, you can't have the data.
This just isn't what I want. In Chrome I have two separate profiles: work, and home. This lets me have work and home specific history, extensions, and settings. Opening a new tab in one doesn't bleed into the other. This is what I want. It's literally the only thing keeping me in Chrome these days.

Firefox used to have something like this in the past, but it's either buried deep inside some obscure setting or has been ripped out. It's a damn shame.
