I have used GitHub quite a lot but kind of forget every time I take a week or so away. I've found this very useful: [link]

My computer is pretty good at multitasking.

I just upgraded my computer and starting using it and things like GIMP starting instantly are happening now.

What hardware are you using, Gud? I've been thinking of upgrading myself.

I just upgraded to a Ryzen 9 3900X which is a 12 core processor. Since I already had an AM4 socket motherboard (X390 chipset)all I had to do is pop in the new processor.

Ah, I've been looking at a whole new build with a Ryzen 7 2700X.

Go with a 3000 series if possible, the architecture is much improved.

Good to know!

Anybody know anything about setting up really basic Selenium tests to run in Travis CI? I have students submitting some very basic typescript projects where they essentially uses textboxes, buttons, and divs to send input and output back and forth, and I want to automatically check if they've satisfied requirements on GitHub. I'm pretty sure I know how to set up the Selenium tests locally, but am having trouble figuring out if I can do it on Travis (I have an educational plan so should have free access to a lot of Enterprise features).

Here's an article about the Ryzen 3000 series.

The new Ryzen 3000 chips mark the first "big" leap for AMD since they introduced their first Ryzen processors a bit over two years ago. Unlike last year's Ryzen 2000 series, which was a more minor refresh and brought some tweaks to the microarchitecture and process node, this year's Ryzen 3000 is a major upgrade for both CPU architecture as well as on the manufacturing node.

I went from a Ryzen 7 1700X to a Ryzen 9 3900X and I expected it to be faster, but it's been 'holy sh*t' faster. And that's just from swapping out the CPU, same motherboard, same memory, same everything.

OK, you've convinced me!
