You should go out and talk to people outside of your bubble then. Go somewhere that isn't as left. Go have a conversation with a normal person who is just trying to live their life in a city that isn't majority blue.

Attributing qualities and intentions to someone you do not know is not a constructive way of having a meaningful discussion.
Did you just define "normal person" as someone who lives in a non-diverse environment?
Before you get angry, go read your sentence again, at how you used "normal person". What does that say about those of us who live in places with more social diversity? That we're not "normal"?
Because, given the demonstrated ways racism "works" (as in, how it's practiced, and what effects it has when practiced between differentially enfranchised groups) it's not accurate?
> To insist that the "prejudice + power" argument is premised on bright-line "race == power" is to mischaracterize it to the point of being unrecognizable.
Would you mind clarifying the distinction between "differentially enfranchised groups" and "race == power" ?
By analogy, membership in a group that is more or less enfranchised than another could be seen as a Bayesian classification, while "race == power" is more Boolean.
One describes a tendency; the other asserts an identity relationship.
It doesn't map perfectly, but it's close enough for the bandwidth I have to keep contributing to this thread right now.
Why is that a surprise? "Toxic culture" in relation to Riot and Uber is basically defined as a "sexist bro-fest" and women being allowed to work the same jobs as men is a relatively new thing (historically speaking) and thus is still being fought on many fronts.
Also look at e.g. Japan where women in the workplace are generally treated quite badly. There was a thread on HN yesterday or the day before which reinforced this trend.
Wow, I can very much relate to this. I moved to VT 5 years ago, and I just haven't been able to put my finger on why there's a disparity between my social life here vs. my former city.
Many people simply talk much slower, drone on, and are not socially aware of when a conversation becomes one-sided. I'm used to fast talking, quick-witted New Jersey style conversations. At work I'm often engulfed with these 5 minute lectures about random garbage that I don't particularly care for.
This coupled with storing the scroll position and only executing code when it actually changes is the gold standard IMO. Works fantastically well on mobile too.
Cinebench scores are fantastic for speculating on how these CPUs will work in the context of 3D rendering/simulations. That personally has me very excited.
Agreed - 3062 for the TR-1950X and 2431 for the TR-1920X are colossal results. 2167 for the i9-7900X is still huge!
At first I thought that (given it's AMD running the test) they'd hamstring the Intel CPU with an under powered cooler, but it looks like they gave it a big Corsair H100i 240mm water cooler. If that's not enough for a 140W CPU, I don't know what is - it was probably on turbo the entire time. They gave their own CPUs an "EK Prototype SP3" cooler, though - is this it? https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-kit-s360
Regardless, the message seems to be that if you want top performance, get a big cooler.
The "EK Prototype SP3" cooler was probably a prototype of a water block designed for the X399 platform. The chip is massive, so the existing solutions probably don't fit it.
My only qualm is that purchasing an i7 7700 system in comparison to a Ryzen 1700 system is almost the same price (since I'm buying my CPU from MircoCenter).
The use of my desktop is maybe 5% gaming, the rest is software dev and browsing, isn't there still a reason to prefer an IPC advantage for compilers and other system tasks?
I mentioned this, because I don't think a 12 core CPU would really give me that much more productivity or value gain than an i7 7700 or Ryzen 1700.
I only really need a single linux compatible nVidia GPU, enough cores and ram to comfortably handle 20 browser tabs, an IDE and a relatively hefty docker dev flow.
Unfortunately you don't see a whole lot of benchmarks of dev stuff on CPU review sites. Phoronix at least does Linux compile time. Not sure how representative that is of your "relatively hefty docker dev flow" but it shows the 1700 as 10% faster than the 7700K, which itself has a 17% higher base clock and 7% higher boost clock than the 7700.
Higher single thread performance is higher single thread performance, no matter if achieved via higher clock, doing more per clock ("IPC"), or both.
If you run one non-parallel task, the 7700K will be faster. If you run many non-parallel tasks in… parallel (make -j16), the 1700 will be seriously faster.
