Status: Saw a water tower that I've never seen before on my drive to work today. Rather odd, considering that I drove the same route I've been driving for years and the water tower most definitely did not look new...
@anotherusername said in The Official Status Thread:
I CAN'T FIND IT IN GOOGLE EARTH... OH GOD, WHAT THE FUCK...
There is most definitely a water tower there, and I've now found it in Street View. Based on the history feature, it appears to have been built sometime in the last half of '15 or the first half of '16.

It's nearing the end of day, and he's really starting to feel it now.
The sunken shadow in his eyes, as the horrifying realization sets in: "Oh my God. What have I gotten myself into?"Looks like the beginning of a typical front-page article.
Did you turn your company and life into hell so that we get more articles? Thank you :P

New senior started today. All bright eyed and optimistic.
He was less so after I introduced him with his project, hehehe...It's nearing the end of day, and he's really starting to feel it now.

Email from the new senior this morning:
I am writing to tell you I won't be able to come to work today.

Yesterday evening I got dizzy and sick, emergency services had to intervene.

I am going to see the doctor today. Hopefully everything is OK and I can come back tomorrow

And no, I am not making this up.

As a startup, shouldn't you have nice new code without all the legacy cruft that makes projects a nightmare to work on?

That was my favorite Java feature versus C#.
I wonder if there's a VS add-on that can perform the same trick.

STATUS:
I bought a used Intel i7 4770k for 260 euros. This is pretty much the top of the line of gen 4. Recommended price - $350.
I replaced my old CPU, which was the cheapest piece of shit socket 1150 I could find at the time - Celeron G1820. Recommended price: $40.
Old benchmark:
# sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 run sysbench 0.4.12: multi-threaded system evaluation benchmark Running the test with following options: Number of threads: 1 Doing CPU performance benchmark Threads started!

50% improvement in single threaded perf. Doesn't exactly scale with the price.
I guess it would be more in a multi threaded test, but I never thought to run it with the old one, so whatever.

Obviously the better graphics processor, support for AES-NI instructions, hyperthreading, and doubled number of cores is paying for the rest of the increased cost of the CPU :P

@cartman82 I think I can beat you in overpaying for a CPU. When I upgraded the CPU in my current PC I went for the best one the motherboard could support too. Which cost about $100 more than the second best, only difference being 133MHz in clock speed. And something I also found out recently: the equavilent Xeon would have been even cheaper than the second best CPU despite being essentially the same as the best i7, although that wasn't an option as my motherboard only supports i7 for some reason. (Seriously,
Asus!)
