Yeah I thought about chucking my SATA SSDs as well but I can't really justify getting rid of perfectly good 1TB and 512GB Samsungs. This case is really nice and has 2x tool-less SSD mounts behind the motherboard tray so it's really just a couple wires that have to tuck back there. Maybe next PC...

God damn I'm fucking good at computers; I got it to work.

Exactly. One thing I wanted to do but couldn't quite figure out was how to turn my old install of Windows into a virtual machine I could mount. I built a VHD for it but it said it wasn't bootable.

Yeah, I was watching CalebD playing Embercleave Dinosaurs and it kinda gave me the itch a little bit watching people get smashed by sword-wielding Dinosaurs.

The Sabrent Rocket 1TB NVME is now my primary boot drive. However, later in the process, using the BIOS boot manager I was able to boot off the Samsung SSD I was using as a boot drive in the old computer, and it spent about 5-6 minutes automatically knocking out all the drivers. It wasn't...

They stole my idea!

Refreshed my 6.5 year old 4770K PC. Intel 9700K Gigabyte Z390 Ultra Sabrent 1TB ROCKET NVMe PCIe Cooler Master H500 case TEAM DARK PRO 3200 C14 memory. All of it was super cheap on Black Friday. Only thing I kinda splurged on was a Be Quiet Dark Rock (not Pro) 4 and I'm super glad. This...

Eldraine made me lose all interest in MTG.

That would be me. I just bought BFA last week and basically world PvPed to ilvl 415 and had fun the entire time.

Items should be able to Titanforge up from their base your to your current ilvl or maybe +5. It should be a way to get people to do lower level content with friends while still having a chance to get an interesting item. Just having random uber gear pop up from mythic raids is dumb.

Catching up on WoW lore in a nutshell: Elves are very bad decision makers, going back thousands of years.

So I hadn't played WoW since Cata patch one. I ran through levels 1-110 just because I'm already paying a sub for Classic anyway. I missed a lot of stuff! I can't believe how beautiful some zones in the world are. Shadowmoon Valley was amazing. I laughed out loud when I zoned into Darkmoon...

I don't think this is true at all.

They could just make 1 higher capacity layer, unless something fundamentally breaks down at a certain population threshold.

Number 1 complaint about the whole series.

Wouldn't be surprised at all.

Looks good, more muted graphics, not a super-flashy WoW clone like D3 was.

Read the post just above yours. It's about the difference between engaging the chimp parts of your brain vs the human parts of your brain.

I think this is the exact wrong way to look at learning. If you train people to just memorize something first, they will be robbed of the opportunity to discover the patterns themselves and build their own mental schema, because they will just memorize it instead. Like I said last night, you...

See, you're bad at math. Less than 20% of that is memorization.

ftfy

Just because I'm fired up about this now, here's how to learn how to pass a 3rd grade multiplication test up to 12x12 with very little memorization, the way I taught myself. 2s and 3s and 10s tables - simple, if you can't just do this in your head automatically you're below 90 IQ. 4s - just...

Needing a room full of human computers do laborious math put a logistical upper bound on the science and engineering you could do, hence the need for analog computers and eventually digital, programmable computers. The US military and most of the people you mentioned all wrote things to the...

Just plain wrong. The whole point of Turing's concept of a universal computing machine was to build a machine that could be configured to solve any computable math problem so mathematicians could get back to the study of doing interesting things with numbers. He wrote specifically about this.

Citation needed. Further, being able to quickly recall things from memorization is not a test of intelligence or understanding. For instance, average chimps have super-human levels of memorization ability. This is a scientifically testable fact that we have known for over a decade now. You...

Let me hit you with some facts: Computers were invented by people who really, really loved math but hated the work of actually grinding out mathematically calculations. Before the proliferation of digital computers, at every major university and scientific endeavor, there was a room full of...

Only on FOH: There are large racial differences in IQ but all internet users on an MMO-and-titty-posting-forum have basically the same IQ.

You seem content to argue with what you want to think I said rather than what I actually said, so I'm going to let you continue to argue with yourself. However, it's not controversial to say that some students are smarter than others, and the relationship in intelligence is not linear either...

No, that's the exact opposite of what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that by forcing you to memorize them by default you were robbed of the chance to learn to think about multiplication in a more intuitive way.

In Kindergarten we would get counting exercises that asked you to count things up in rows. Before I even knew what multiplication was I could tell you that 4 rows of 6 rabbits is 24 rabbits and 2 extra rabbits is 26 rabbits. This pissed off my Kindergarten teacher to no end. I never had to...

This is a somewhat realistic scenario if you talk to leading AI experts. Not so much worshiped as a god, but just algorithms operating beyond mortal understanding. The more and more AI comes to manage the infrastructure of society, the less and less humans will understand the world they live...

Or you could read the book, it's not even long.

I'd say we're already well on our way to the future described in Brave New World or The Time Machine. Traditional cyberpunk relies on the breakdown of the nationstate, politically, economically and also culturally, and the rise of corporations as the only powerful entities. Maybe 10 or 20...

I was actually listening to this when I saw this thread: http://freakonomics.com/podcast/math-curriculum/

It's a fundamental rethink of what the purpose of teaching kids math is. If you want to train future cashiers then doing it the old way is definitely the best way to do it. However, by the time kids in elementary school get into the workforce there's probably going to be about 50 cashiers left...

NEVAR FORGET 9 11s.

MTGO prices:

I wish I still was in the MTGO market when this announcement happened, I could have made an absolute killing buying staples. This entire announcement seems like a huge bone thrown to MTGO players. All the cheap cards no one wanted, on a client no one cared about, are now suddenly relevant.

Yeah I was thinking about this at work as well.

That decklist has fetches.
