Are you, primarily, a developer? Did you find enough scenarios where i7-6950X feels justified, aside from rendering, encoding where this CPU really shines? What does the rest of the setup look like?
Thanks!

Intel's multicore CPUs (hexa-core and octa-core chips) have been available for for Intel's socket B/R systems, which are the HEDT grade. These systems came with a price premium, which isn't exactly the case for R5 and even R7 builds.

Finally, multicore for the masses. A 6C12T based workstation is also a sweet spot for development work.
Re:Ask HN: I'm 20, naive and want to save the world. How?
on Thursday December 29, 2016 @09:23AM (#13277389)
First, while it's a noble goal, to save the world requires a position of power. So, your goal is to obtain some power. The problem with power is that it corrupts, and it may happen that once you yield significant amount of power, you may not want to use it as you may have originally intended to, because it might be too risky and as a result, you could lose it.
Second - thus, your goal now is to maintain the achieved level of power and look for ways to enlarge it.
Keep in mind that many people don't really care about the good in the world, let alone saving it. Their perspective is a personal one, I'd say even a selfish one.
Ask HN: Self-taught developer, are you still considering getting a CS degree?
My case: a self-taught developer with more than a decade of programming experience, currently working on REST APIs and distributed systems. I dropped out of a college years ago. Getting a regular CS bachelor CS degree doesn't look that appealing, it's a too high of an opportunity cost given that courses cover the matter I'm very familiar with.Are there master programs that accept no-degree...
Ask HN: How to come up with a domain name if all options are already taken?
I have an internet business idea, but all domains I tried are either taken or cost premium. Does it make sense to go with a random name and then compensate the lack of a good name with heavy SEO/promotion? It's kind of depressing not being able to move past this point.

Of course they do, why wouldn't they? The way they're doing it, seems more spontaneous.

Yeah, it's absolutely an amazing thing to watch.

Watching the webcast feels like being at some blockbuster movie premiere. There's a largish crowd following the launch and applauding on every launch stage completion.
Not that it's a bad thing per se, it's rather the opposite, it however, feels quite weird and staged as opposed to launches done by ESA, Roscosmos or even NASA.

I'm in a process of renovating a house. I can easily imagine using HoloLens to help with making decisions on interior decorations, furniture placement, bath elements, it could just that great when you're starting with an empty space and need to put things in it.
The only drawback with a HoloLens system is that when you own one, you probably don't need many real things, some virtual ones can act as placeholders.

Something isn't right there. The cockpit doesn't seem to be finished. Compared to Model S and Model X cockpits, this one isn't on par. Where are screens behind the wheel, what about the middle console, AC, wheel controls?

It could be also that Xamarin didn't want to use pricing it has no control over, e.g. what Microsoft dictates for commercial versions of Visual Studio. I assume that "contact us for a quote" would take you to the MS online store through their sales personnel anyway.

This is cool. They updated the pricing page: https://store.xamarin.com/. Hint, it's free.

Re:Ubuntu on Windows
on Wednesday March 30, 2016 @06:08PM (#11393419)
Although I've been a primarily C# dev for years, I gradually moved to Ubuntu, and then to OSX, all because of the better terminal/s. I like Macs, but OSX, its window management system, finder, is really bad. Having bash environment available on Windows is an incredible feat and a reason alone to reconsider Windows again. Hopefully, it won't be limited to W10.
Re:Scala School
on Friday March 11, 2016 @05:51AM (#11265844)
I shared the same sentiment the first time I picked up Go. Coincidentally, we also share the same background (I've been a C# developer for years). However, I hold no longer the same sentiment toward Go. Yes, it forced me to think dramatically different than it was the case before, but nowadays Go is just a breeze to work with. Hence, I even do coding challenges in Go just because it's fun.

I guess the title should say "Every developed and some developing countries". Other countries have troubled economies that barely allow to have armed forces, let alone to purchase a new hardware.
