No One Is Buying AMD Zen 5 CPUs, So What's Going On?
anhydrous 1 day ago • 100%
For me, it's because:
- I have a 5950X and it seems pointless to upgrade from there. Sure the new stuff is faster, but disproportionately so for the price. I would need to replace a bunch of components.
- I recently upgraded to 128GB RAM, and it was cheaper to do that with DDR4
- I've had 2 faulty Ryzen processors (1700X, then my first 5950X), and I've learned to wait until the kinks are ironed out.

Globulation2 brings a new type of gameplay to RTS games. The player chooses the number of units to assign to various tasks, and the units do their best to satisfy the requests. This allows players to manage more units and focus on strategy rather than on micro-management.
It's actually quite old and has gone through stretches of inactivity, but appears to be kept in working order in its git repo, and recently has been getting maintenance patches.

Dvorak since Dec 2010. Between semesters, I was just checking it out, not planning to stick with it at all. But, I really liked it, so I spent the rest of the semester break learning Dvorak and never looked back.
I met another dvorak user at work. I made a git commit that was meant to eventually be squashed with the message aoeu, which apparently gave me away. My coworker then asked me if I typed in Dvorak; not immediately recalling the commit message, I was quite astonished; how tf did you know that? Turns out, he typed in Dvorak too.

Big 12 adds 'clarification' to tiebreaker rules
anhydrous 10 months ago • 100%
There's a bunch of teams at the top vying for spots in the championship game, and there are possibilities for ties. Some combinations of W-L to close out the season had certain assumed tie-breakers to get to the championship game, but this "clarification" breaks some of the assumptions. The statement by the Big XII acts as if nothing has changed, but it looks like they added qualifying words that weren't there previously in order to make this clarification.
> “If all the tied teams are not common opponents, the tied team that defeated each of the other tied teams earns the Championship berth.” > As George Stoia of On3’s Sooner Scoop pointed out, the original tiebreaker rules did not have that sentence in there. The language has been added to Step 1.

But an added touch is an alternate logo that includes the standard Jaguar head between two halves of the Mardi Gras harlequin, with “Mobile 1703″ (the year of the city’s first Mardi Gras celebration) on a banner beneath. > But the “coup de gras” (so to speak) is on the back of the helmet, which reads “Home of Mardi Gras” on the bumper plate. Though New Orleans is more famous for Mardi Gras, Mobile actually began its celebration in 1703, some 150 years before New Orleans first did in 1857.
