    jszym got a reaction from AlTech in Lubuntu vs Elementary OS   
    I personally replaced my Elementary OS install with Lubuntu... Elementary is BEAUTIFUL, but it's just too buggy for me. It's subtle, and you don't notice it at first, but eventually the same old bugs become too much to bother with.
     
    On the other hand, Lubuntu is just so increiblly responsive and lightweight. Easily get 3 more hours out of my battery, and hardly have any trouble with responsiveness.

    Ok, so given a list
     
    name_rank_list = [(('freda', 'female'), 2), (('ted', 'male'), 1)] you can get the "name gender" tuple and rank with this super simple for loop
    for name_couple in name_rank_list: name_gender, rank = name_couple print "Name and gender tuple:" print name_gender print "Rank is {}".format(rank) EDIT:
    If you need the index to update the value, all you have to do is use enumerate:
     
    updated_name_rank_list = name_rank_listfor name_couple_id, name_couple in enumerate(name_rank_list): name_gender, rank = name_couple rank += 1 #or someother change to the rank updated_name_rank_list[name_couple_id] = (name_gender, rank) just remember to never edit the list you're iterating over (this the reason for "update_name_rank_list"), that's bad practice that can result in infinite loops or inconsistancies in your array

    jszym got a reaction from Enderman in Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 v i5-4690K w/ weird pricing considerations   
    Wow, very cool post... definetly shows that 4+ multithreading is a trend that has been around for longer than I would have thought. Great!
     
    I'm going to bide my time to see if I can get something on the cheap used or on BF/CM, but I'm leaning towards the Xeon unless I get a killer deal on an 4690K. The main probelm with the K-series is that cooling does add cost to the card value.

    Some example of footage filmed using shadow play demonstrating CPU load and many other useful stats
    (GPU performance hit is about 3% and no effect on CPU loads, nothing running in the background at all except the games, MSI afterburner (riva tuner) and nvidia experience)
    Feel free to watch those videos on 720P full screen, they are about a minute long max to minimize uploading time:
     
    Battlefield 3:

     
    Dead rising 3:

    Sniper Elite 3:

     
    Compagny of heroes 2:

     
    Hitman: Absolution:

     
     
    ...and i can confirm i get similar CPU loads while playing Far Cry 3, battlefield 4, watch dogs, tomb raider, max payne 3, crysis 3,
    grid autosport,Outlast whistleblowers, Murdered - Soul Suspect, MXGP and sleeping dogs (can provide videos of those games if interested as well)
     
    EDIT: don't know why the sound playback for the ''company of heroes 2'' video is messed up but it was defenetly not like that while playing the game i suspect it's a bug from shadowplay my raw video is messed up as well!

    I'd be very down to buy used (particularly for a locked card like the Xeon), but my local market is dry as can be... trying to find some stuff on /r/hardwareswap, but that's not proving great either atm (atleast not for Xeons)
