I was too lazy/clumsy to build it myself so I got one built and shipped for $1100 which is probably way more than I really needed, but at least I shouldn't need to upgrade anything besides maybe a video card for 4-5 years. Nothing wrong with having a DEDICATED circuit for a computer, the 7 or 8, 4K monitors alone might require an extra one though. edit : 5678 bad memories with this one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvs8axfPEyo Behold the worst prom music song thing ever created!

Some Intel Xeon processors go for almost $4k and a single Titan XP GPU is $1200 so It really wouldn't be that difficult to get to $8k for a professional workstation PC.

skaboomizzy posted:I can't imagine what an $8,000 set-up looks like, even for like a professional video artist or something. I'm even more lost as to what a SC Pit Of Despair in someone's mom's basement looks like. I can see "a suped-up PC is an investment" up to a point around $2,000, but Jesus. So how long until Citizens start applying bitcoin-level methods of computing to squeeze that last frame out of the turgid mess that is the PU? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut8mwo7vGBI

https://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/2016/sep/27/29-tips-on-how-to-be-a-horrible-bossquote:1. Involve yourself in every decision. Don’t let any decision be made without weighing in, no matter how small. Make the red pixel green. quote:3. Correct small mistakes to demonstrate that you’re smart. quote:4. Refuse to give any feedback. Don’t give any feedback, either positive or negative, ever. But do overreact when people fail to correctly intuit what you want. quote:5. Spend time on less important things so that you can ignore more important things. Like pretending to be a big time director. quote:6. Refuse to let people do their jobs, then punish them for it. quote:8. Treat people as if they’re idiots. Manage your employees with 10+ years’ experience with the same scrutiny you would apply to your interns. quote:10. Be inconsistent and unpredictable. Keep people on their toes by being totally inconsistent in terms of communication (both style and content), expectations, feedback, and long-term vision quote:11. Build a sense of importance by talking about how busy you are all the time. Up all weekend coding. 8 hours writing an email. quote:19. Delegate autonomy, but don’t really mean it. For example: “I want you to make the decision. I don’t want to be involved. You’re experienced and you are driving this project. [Later:] You made the wrong decision. Here’s what I really wanted you to do. Now go and change everything.” CIG employees must have contributed to this article. quote:20. Play favourites with team members, and make it obvious. quote:21. Criticise people in front of their coworkers. quote:24. Become defensive at the slightest constructive feedback. quote:28. Be paranoid that your employees are out to get you. Hiring a PI to spy on your employees is okay, yeah? Crobber scores 18/29 by my count. Room for improvement.
