It's difficult for me to tell who is correct here, you or the poster above.
When Hillary was expected to win the election, a recession within two years was a given. After Trump won the election, the stock market soared but the underlying data haven't changed. That seems like a lot of wishful thinking on Wall Street's part.
I hate to say it, but if this was a boom, I'm terrified of a bust that I can't even conceive the depths of at this point.
I don't think it will be worse than the Great Recession.
No one is going to call you at all. You're likely not the target consumer for this.
As a gamer, I look at processors in the $50 to $100 range. I typically spend no more than $300 on a motherboard/processor/memory combo. Yes, I'm a cheap bastard.
When you're doing pro level video production you'll have a voice in this conversation.
I didn't quite get the bang for the buck when I switched out an AMD quad-core for an AMD eight-core for encoding 1080 @ 60 FPS video. Probably because the software was optimized for Intel processor. Building an Intel system or buying a Mac might be on my to do list for later this year.
Every time a new processor generation hit the market, the former generations got cheaper.
The tinkle down on the Intel side is a bit slower than the AMD side. As someone else pointed out, Intel only has dual-cores at my price point (some do have hyper threading for four threads).
We're overdue for a bust cycle after eight years of the third or second longest expansion since WW II. Build a cash reserve and get ready to but stocks on the way down.
That sounds like most of my Fortune 500 jobs. I can get everything done in the first hour and wait for stuff to roll downhill for the next seven hours.
I get 20 days of PTO each year and only 10 days will rollover into the new year. If I don't use it, then I'll lose it. Everyone at my job takes time off throughout year. I typically take time off for comic cons and work through the year-end holidays while everyone else takes time off.
You posted in almost half the posts in this thread.
The threads that asshats start without my knowledge to make fun of me. Those I'm staying out of. So far there are a half-dozen such threads. The funny thing is that you asshats are so eager to jump my fat ass that you don't stop to see if you're attacking the right person.
And making a DMCA complaint is your definition of "laughing from the sidelines"?
I'm protecting my pen pen name with the DMCA take down notice. That's business. If you want attack me, reply to "creimer". Don't create bogus accounts like "cdreimer" or "criemer" to confuse people. Grow a pair and stand behind your opinions.
It was called a VIC-20 or a Commodore 64. Your pal Lancaster even recommended it.
The 6502 wasn't a microcontroller. And you didn't drop a VIC-20 or C64 into a circuit design.
If you want to go "full retro" and "through hole", you should build a TV Typewriter, and sell it to some cassette-listening hipster douche in your area.
I want to build a Z80 computer to run WordStar on C/PM.
Besides the fact that you are wasting your time, and can simply get an Arduino and blow away anything you could make from TTL chips?
When I learned electronics in the early 1990's, you couldn't simply dropped in a microcontroler and program your way out of it. (An FPGA was a bit different but I never got far enough in electronics to use that.) I was surprised how much of the old electronic theory came back when I started building circuits again. Maybe some day I'll get around to building a Z80 computer from scratch.
If you have money issues, you think food and shelter, out of work for two years, etc.
I'm actually at the self-actualization level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. By living a modest lifestyle, I can focus on who I want to be and not on what everything think I should be.
you're going at it with that other ugly bucket of stupid loser.
That's not me. Someone registered "criemer" (notice that the "e" and "i" are switched around and user id is 4M+) since "cdreimer" can only post two comments per day with a zero karma. Being a n00b is such a bitch. I stay out of these threads and laugh from the sidelines.
I have $50K+ day job that pays all the bills. A night and weekend side business that produces cash flow. My typical week is no different than any other SV schmuck working 120+ hours per week at a start up.
If someone making more than three times what you claim is "scraping by" in Silicon Valley, well, you don't need a lot of math.
The math is simple. I have money left over after I pay the bills each month. People who make three times more money than I do and whine about it have money issues.
When the program that creates the html/css makes a mess out of it and a human has to clean it up. I've did that a lot when the graphic designers complain about Dreamweaver refusing to align a table element properly.

what games fit on a 128GB SSD?
Not the newest games. I heard one took up 78GB of space. Nuts.
Every time a new processor generation hit the market, the former generations got cheaper.
The tinkle down on the Intel side is a bit slower than the AMD side. As someone else pointed out, Intel only has dual-cores at my price point (some do have hyper threading for four threads).
Notice how it's all AMD because Intel only has dual-core processors in that price range.
I already own an AMD eight-core processor (8300 @ $99). Neither AMD nor Intel have new processors in this price range yet.
Video editors with 4K, 8K and 16K video files to view in real time and render in the background at the same time.
When the new processors are available in the $50 to $100 range.
That's because you made your business about you instead of building a business that can work without you.

You get so excited about creimer... How do you clean the jizz off your keyboard when you're done? Oh... I see - you don't clean it off.
Studies do show that the average keyboard is two to three times dirtier than a toilet.

Then trust me, the only thing thinking you should be someone else ... is your floor.
Thanks for reminding. I put the 2017 picture.

Ever heard of him?
TTL Cookbook by Donald E. Lancaster. I bought a copy last month since I got back into through-hole electronics as an adult.

What cash flow?
:)
What's boring about surviving in SV on 50k$?
I have $50K+ day job that pays all the bills. A night and weekend side business that produces cash flow. My typical week is no different than any other SV schmuck working 120+ hours per week at a start up.
Then your blog/site should describe a week in your life. That would be very interesting.
That's boring. Check out this thread if you want quality entertainment.
You have life issues.
No, I live a modest lifestyle. Other people have issues with the way I live. That's their problem, not mine.
How many times a month do you go to Goodwill?
I gave a box of old clothes to Goodwill last month.
If someone making more than three times what you claim is "scraping by" in Silicon Valley, well, you don't need a lot of math.
