Saw that myself for the first time last night. Surprisingly atrocious. And WTH happened to the shadows around it? Did I just visit it on an overcast day?

The trees themselves would be right at home in a game from the early 2000s. Frickin' Planetside 2, the game infamous for its indestructible trees and graphics from 10 years ago, has better looking flora assets.

I will also go as far to say it looks as if the game was designed for HDR, but due to lack of time, they just compressed the range, capped it about 10% below the normal maximum to leave some breathing room, and called it a day. Even the flashlight looks washed out at times.

In other news, IBM is still in the cloud game, stares angrily at Oracle ahead of it.

I'd like to think that half the crew died along the way, and it got to the point where promotions were being handed out just to keep the ranks filled.

"Shit, we lost another commander. Lets promote one of the remaining lietenants and....hey, Harry, how do you feel about getting another pip?"

Did you actually watch the video?

He literally presents a list of reasons around 5:12. Then he goes on to describe how formaldehyde already affects him.

Resin priting can be a lot of fun, but he's correct: that shit is toxic. It needs to be respected, and he's also correct in pointing out the carbon filter on many printers is basically a placebo for the consumer.

Still don't believe him? Fine. Go checkout the small book that is the set of warnings with this stuff from a resin producer: https://entropyresins.com/safety/epoxy-safety-tips/

Yeah, that was a good one. Worf got that plant petal on him after the away mission, and boom: Wordi.

"Number one, you can't build that now. Those tanks just took out your north power supply."

"Captain, I assure you I can build the radar. I only need five units to-"

"THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!"

I HaVe oPiNioNs on tHAt!....

But seriously, I think while admirable, this would be the death of traditional leadership, where there's a heavy reliance on abstraction of deep concepts to make informed decisions for larger entities (government, corporations, non profits, etc.). Make of that what you will.

I can't put my finger on it, but I think there's been an uptick also in posts purely in the form of increasing engagement. Safe 'bets' on getting responses (i.e. ++ to AskReddit), remarkably bland headlines, and just shit that reminds me of controversy of the "jumpstart" of automated bots they used in the earlier days.

I can't speak for your managers, but my past managers didn't need Agile to f things up. They can do that with anything!

This won't hold true if your RAM gets to the limit, and you end up creeping into swap space. If you do, everything becomes a potentially streamed asset! While certainly not ideal, you'll feel it harder on a HDD vs. SSD. Remember, you need at least 16GB of RAM for this monster, which these days is basically standard on most PCs (and about 70% of all Steam users as of August have no more than 16).

You know, I wish it wasn't. Much of Amazon was on a version of Perl for years (and may still be) for almost all of their front end hosting. Facebook has transformed PHP into Hack (which is better for types, though technically not strongly typed), strongly suggesting they were running PHP until 2014. Let's not forget what WordPress is still in PHP too.
