So I'm currently working on a video project in Adobe After Effects which uses a lot of effects. Lens blurring, adding grain, color leveling and 3d camera tracking are just some of them.
And with all these effects on the render times can be cripplingly slow. A 4K 9 second clip I'm currently rendering is going to take 1.5 hours to finish rendering to H264.
My current rig is:
AMD-FX6300 Six Core @ 3.5Ghz
AMD R9 290 4GB
16GB RAM
What should I upgrade to improve render times? I've already got a pretty beefy GPU so it can't be that.

im sorry, but something that improves my ability to be lazy is alright in my book.

One of my best investments. Get the ones with the SLAM algorithm like the newest Roomba or the Botvac.

does your environment have to be relatively "clean" obstacle-wise?
Anybody found a decent powerline adapter that actually serves over 100mbps? In the coming week I am going to be upgrading my net to 100/100 but my internal network with my WD powerline is SLOWiperf -s

Distance is too far. Besides my country has strict laws about running cabling in your house (Australia) without a cablers' license.
>>54663252
what? No Ethernet in your own house? How retarded is Australia?
I'm watching this extremely mundane C++ video on Lynda, and I'm wondering to myself. How big is the job market for those who can program in C++ or is it deprecated? I am a master at Java and personally I think that Java is an extremely elegant language, but that's just me. Thoughts?

And this is where Anon fucked up. Enjoy your ban.
I've been out of the loop on everything tech related for a long time, but I'm wondering.
Years ago I liked to download stuff on Usenet but now it appears the whole thing has been devastated by DMCA takedowns. How do I get around that/what is the best alternative?
I'm not interested in "joining a community" or maintaining a seed ratio on a private tracker, nor do I want to deal with the pitiful quality, risk, and 800MB yify downloads on public trackers.

CDE was killed early. I think it was the default for like 4 years and nobody used it. most went from OpenWindows to the Java Desktop System.
How did I do /g/?

Why this everyone here spread this stupid meme? Programming on Linux is one of the shittiest and most cancerous things you could ever do. Everything on linux is just a bunch of crappy nonstandard hobbyist tools.
Programming on Windows:

>click "build" in visual studio
>just werkz with 0 dependencies bloat on any computer running Windows from 95 all the way to 10.

no what you do is you use 'su'

the fuck are you logging into to root so much for you idiot?

You can disable needing the password for sudo, but it basically makes having a password almost pointless.
What is the cheapest desktop that i can buy that will last at least 5 years before being too slow for daily use (light gayming, jewtube, shitposting) and being capable of running at least 6 monitors at some point (i have 3 now)?
I'm looking at HP Z800s right now because they seem to be well spec'd for the price, but if there is a better option i dont want to overpay.
>build your own
I was thinking about it but use prebuilt shit is cheaper for the specs.
>>54662606
z600 is cheaper than z800. Dell Precision T5500 and T7500 have similar capabilities with LGA 1366 CPUs and DDR 3 ram.
Still, z800 is really good and what I ended up going with.
You should keep an eye out for the z620 if you can find one in your price range. Sometimes they come in under $500.
And there are the offerings from Lenovo. Thinkstation can be quite good as well.
>>54662606
really the only part of that that needs forethought is the six-monitor support. There are single cards that can drive six monitors but you'll have a much simpler time of it if you find a machine with dual PCI-E slots. (you needn't care about SLI or Crossfire support, in this case, just two slots)
>>54662606
>I was thinking about it but use prebuilt shit is cheaper for the specs.
in the sub $400-500 range yes, but when it comes to something that'll run 3-6 monitors? Nah

Yeah If you could post a link in the OP, that's be great mmm'kay
There's certainly a case for letting the specifics out, but if the process of obtaining the information isn't transparent then a case would traditionally get thrown out.
I don't see any way around it.
