- bluedinoWe set up one of those widescreen Intergraph CRTs for a client way back then, I think the cost of that thing plus the workstation was easily more than I made in a year
- Many of them stop beeping for a while (or beep way less often)
- There have a been a couple videos/posts about this from other influencers today
Does anyone remember a guy here posting about linking Mac Studios with Thunderbolt for HPC/clustering? I wasn't able to find it with a quick search.
Edit: I think it was this?
- Today, people using their work laptop to do personal computing isn't uncommon (even though you shouldn't).
But carrying your full-size tower computers and CRT monitors home from the office at night/weekends sounds crazy.
- Like many people, I have a bad habit of visiting Slickdeals, and buying things I might never use, because they're a good deal.
A lot of people also have the problem of visiting /r/somehobby and then buying things because other people are buying them.
It's kind of mind-blowing to look at all the stuff you bought this year and didn't end up really using.
- They're also adding self driving and all kinds of fancy options
- Nope.
They even get to use fuel that has less taxes on it since they don't drive on public roads.
- > It took just over eleven minutes to produce this PDF,
Incredibly dumb question, but when they say this, what actually happens?
Is it using TeX? Is it producing output using the PDF file spec? Is there some print driver it's wired into?
- Now look up impact wrenches.
1/2 in 1 in 1/4 in 3/8 in 3/4 in 7/16 in - Just this morning I watched a video someone shared on LinkedIn. A lion cub was being nursed by a ewe!
- > They couldn't optimize early and were building models and assets like it's for film. Not low poly game assets but super high poly film assets.
Reminds me of the Crack.com interview with Jonathan Clark:
Adding to the difficulty of the task, our artist had no experience in the field. I remember in a particular level we wanted to have a dungeon. A certain artist begin by creating a single brick, then duplicating it several thousand times and building a wall out of the bricks. He kept complaining that his machine was too slow when he tried to render it. Needless to say this is not the best way to model a brick wall.

- It looks pretty decent but seeing the texture warping and glitching reminds me of why I was team N64
- How did it get this way?
A million years ago we had Microsoft Office, PerfectOffice, Lotus SmartSuite, Lotus Symphony (which became one of the free suites), and others I can't remember.
Then we had a bunch of Java and web versions built of various office appplications.
It would be a massive undertaking to create a new office suite from scratch.
- It seems like most users got tired of the unknowns with CentOS and went to Alma/Rocky. Doesn't help that most third party software vendors also didn't bother to support it.
- Hey, Starbucks charges $3.50 for a cookie, I could buy 4 at the local bakery or two at the farmers market for that much (and get a better cookie).
- My grandmother stored pork in lard-filled crocks in the basement for months.
- How big are they?
We have very large ones like Vidalias, small ones like pearl onions, and then everything in between. Most common are probably the size of an apple (how big is an apple, you ask?)
- Congratulations, we finally created 'plain English' programming languages. It only took 1/10th of the worlds electricity and 40% of the semiconductor production.
- It has been for the last 15 years.
