I think you underestimate Navi. Navi will be 7nm, have infinity fabric, and will probably have more mature drivers while still supporting hbm2. That could hold them out till 2021. I also believe that hbm2 memory shortages will be improved (though probably not fixed) and that the 7nm process node will do wonders. Then again Nvidia will more than likely come out with 7nm too soooo really comes down to infinity fabric making GCN6 baller or not compared to GCN5 but I think it will. Also gddr6 will probably help AMD out more on their low end for navi than Nvidia since AMD seems to be more memory starved.

I value both PC Per and Adored highly. I never thought of them as being bias. To be frank I always thought PC Per were more AMD supportive than Nvidia or Intel or at least Josh. Seems like every week they are brining up at least one AMD topic in their weekly show and not in a negative way. With the whole Freesynce thing I think that was just a bit sloppy and lazy on their part and I believe they later concluded it was indeed cause of overdrive as said in the video. Yes they probably could of been more forthcoming and helpful there. As far as them covering the whole RX 480 power debacle, it was them that discovered the issue first so I feel like they felt obligated and energized to do extensive analysis and updates on the issue with all the attention they were getting. Not because they were eager to show an AMD flaw but that they were the first journalists to just find something somewhat significant.

Well this would of came in handy in my PC gamer infancy when I wasn't sure what games where good. Now I know what I like and have methods of finding if a game is good prior to purchasing. Guess this would only come in handy for those games that are alot of fun but have little replay value. Like Inside.

How is it an albatross? I'm sure they are making money from it with all the sales. Sure Vega was disappointing but it wasn't a total flop. It's actually quite an amazing product when comparing to resource rich Nvidia who also dominates the market that RT Group are able to produce a relatively high end and competitive product. The only reason I would see them sell it is to get away from the direct fire of negative comments from the loud and always more power hungry PC gamers.

So it really was just a stop gap to use AMD Vega to fight AMD mobile APUs until there own IP is ready. Way to go AMD (sarcasm). AMD could use the cash but now they lost out on the long term for shorter term gain. Intel is going to win the most if their own dGPUs don't end up sucking. If AMD didn't agree to supply Intel, AMD could have really brought back some much needed market share. Now it could be much harder for them to get back at Intel. Also, could AMD legally have not done a deal with Intel, like they did with Sony, and Microsoft with their Custom Chip division. Basically like the whole Cake thing selling to gays(sorry but good example)? Can they refuse service to companies they don't like or agree with?

This just shows Intel could of done it. So before I get upset at Intel for making a money grab wasn't the reason they decided to ditch the old chip-set for coffee lake cpus was because of the risk of z170 not guaranteeing enough safe power to them? Or am I dead wrong?

Honestly from what I heard I would just get the 1700x cause it can overclock to 4.0ghz like the 1800x provided the power and thermals will probably be worse. The 1800 has a hard enough time getting to 4.1 or higher so to me the 1800x isn't a good deal for $50 more unless you really care about power and thermals. Speed is basically irrelevant comparing 1700x to 1800x so I would say save the $50

Then they aren't getting rid of old architecture inventory since they have to have the fabs make these things. Just seems so stupid unless they can really produce these things for cheap and sell for cheap while making a decent profit I don't know why anyone would buy and why they should of tried.

How can they use an old arch on a new socket meant for a newer and vastly different architecture? As we are reminded frequently "Zen was built from the ground up". Really hope they didn't waste much time during zen development on making the AM4 socket compatible with the old FM sockets and rather this was an after thought that seemed possible and turned out to be luckily for them with maybe only a few tweaks to the pre-existing APUs and some new bios updates. Yay for getting rid of old inventory but don't sacrifice money and or development time to a dead and inferior architecture if your not making gains from the move and spending less time on designing a new APU based off the new CPU architecture (zen) to stay competitive with intel's current iGPUs.

As long as I don't have to play against them...oh wait...Can I play against them console plebs?! I honestly wouldn't mind if they are on the same servers since we can make our own squads (how I play most the time). Hope this doesn't split focus on finishing the early access on pc. Should release PC then focus on console.

Recycled from a reddit post. Still funny though.

So does anyone know what programming languages exactly support multi language syntax?

Someone asked me this question today, and I wasn't 100% sure. Does languages like c#, java, javascript, or python support syntax outside of English? Like there is such a thing right? Or do they have to program in the English syntax. I know I've seen python code were the syntax was in English put the declarations and comments were in spanish.

Yep, the title ^ $270 + free shipping on amazon. Crazy. How is it that amd cpu's can get so lowly priced? They only released it 5 months or so ago. Is it really cause yields are that good? My guess is they are willing not to make as much profit as to get people on the am4 chipset and in there ecosystem to upgrade to Ryzen 2 or 3 down the road. https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1700BBAEBOX/dp/B06WP5YCX6/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1500040224&sr=1-1&keywords=ryzen+7

Oh the ballzzzz. 999!!! I wasn't expecting that low for a 16 core!

haha okay guys. Holy crap you are all so fast to point it out. So it is. I scrolled and found it. Don't know how I missed it the first time. If a mod would be so kind as to take it down then

"China’s government has told telecommunications carriers to block individuals’ access to virtual private networks by Feb. 1,..." And then a bit further in the article. "Beijing has ordered state-run telecommunications firms, which include China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, to bar people from using VPNs..." Not to surprising considering this is China, but boy does that make things so much worse. Not just for individuals but businesses which operate in a global market and try to stay informed on trends and happenings as to be extra adaptable and competitive. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-07-10/china-is-said-to-order-carriers-to-bar-personal-vpns-by-february

That's the thing though, if they devote themselves to mid range they will eventually fall behind. Cause what's high end now eventually trickles down to mid and then low end. They have to keeping shooting for the top. Right now Nvidia's on top of a mountain with a beer and a lawn chair working one handed while AMD is scraping and clawing trying to make it to the top.

What the h. How do I make the code expand multiple lines?

So Hi guys. I'm looking to get the full image path and not what is being returned which I think is the thumbnail of the image. This is what I have so far. //This gets called from a button click and opens the image selector. Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT);intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE, true);intent.setType("image/jpeg");startActivityForResult(intent, SELECT_PICTURE); And this from the Activity's onActivityResult which gets the data from the image selector(intent). protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && requestCode == SELECT_PICTURE) { if (data.getData() != null) { //If uploaded with Android Gallery (max 1 image) Uri selectedImage = data.getData(); String rp = FileUtility.getRealPathFromURI(this,selectedImage); File tempFile = new File(rp); uris.add(Uri.fromFile(tempFile)); }} now selectedImage will get set to something like "content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image%3A35899" which is not what I want. So I try and get the real path which makes rp = "/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/100MEDIA/IMAG0144.jpg". Lastly I convert the string to a File so I can convert back to URI and then add that to a collection(not important). But yeah the URI ends up being what rp equaled which is "/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/100MEDIA/IMAG0144.jpg" I know this is the wrong file because I took the photo and set its name and location and it's definitely not that.

But why did it fail vs the top test code? Shouldn't Dog dog; have the same schema as Dog dog = new Dog()? new Dog is just calling the constructor is it not? The Bark() method should be fine without the constructor ever getting called. At least in my example.

Okay so I added to my sand box project a method to the class Dog called Bark with no return type (void). Inside I have MessageBox.Show("Bark!"); as the only line. Animal a = new Animal(); Dog dog = new Dog(); dog = (Dog) a; dog.Bark(); Guess what? The dog barks after being set to a! Okay, now I changed things up (see attached image). I got an exception! The cast failed much to my surprise. intellisense showed that Bark method was still there when I typed (dog.) but apparently run time didn't see it. This puzzles me why runtime would fail.If your not totally done with me all ready would you be so kind as to explain why? So confusing.

These guys are smart. Hard for me to believe there wasn't a reason. Some times I wish I lived next door to a Uncle Bob Marin or Anders Hejlsberg. You wouldn't happen to have their number would you?

I agree and good job on the formatting and point! Only had to read it once. But can you agree with me that Casting, using () parenthesis, seems pointless for the compiler and runtime? They can just look to see if both objects are part or inherit of the same object and do the conversion. @straight_stewie pretty much agreed with me on that point. Just curious about what you think my fellow Californian.

Your right! I just tested it in C#. Animal a = dog; a.Speak(); Called the dog method. Good to know. Makes sense cause you don't want data loss with identical fields, methods, etc.
