It shows another generic large semi-industrial/semi-commercial building with a fancy facade around the lobby/reception area and a big blocky rectangular warehouse-style building be…

Notice I said that it's the populace who will gain an appetite for flattening Iran, not that it's actually practical to achieve that. You could very well find yourself extending th…

I'm not saying it's possible to accomplish that, just that directly harming the comfort of the American populace is a good way to unify large parts of said populace in wanting to d…

Trouble is, there's a good chance that a large portion of the population will then be in favour of ending the war by escalating it to the point of flattening Iran. And that portion…

> They could enlist as infantry in whatever invasion USA is doing that year, but they're actually scared of guns if they can fire back. The irony is that soldiers in the US militar…

A lot of them _want_ to be able to go in guns blazing and not having to be careful. They're living out a Warrior fantasy.

I don't know that Microsoft is without significant blame here. They provided a mechanism for LG to do this without the necessary checks. They could just as easily make part of the …

It's both. Getting into the multi-billionaire levels of wealth takes a certain mindset that can probably be easily associated with some neurological disorders and personality trait…

Because that was exactly the jump for me. Ultrasound led to expedited surgery that happened within 2 weeks of the ultrasound. The results of the surgery led to chemotherapy. It was…

> What's so bad about having some false positives? Having invasive surgery. Undergoing chemotherapy. The former is bad, the latter is basically a 'lets hope it kills the cancer bef…

No, it's mostly nonsense to them. You know what's a progress indicator? An actual progress indicator. Not some text telling you such and such process is 1234/5678 steps done...foll…

That is exactly what one of my earliest CS teachers taught me. No news is good news.

> artist should use any of the nice frontends that work on top of git and hide its verbosity. Right up until something goes fucky. You know how many times I got messaged by someone…

While I agree that git is a tool for the development of an operating system kernel, it's become clear that this is not the general perception of it. I don't mean those of us who ha…

I apologize if I came off harsh and combative. Gamedev is a passion for me and I spent many years in that field, including working on proprietary version control systems because ex…

Now explain this to an artist with very little programming experience beyond what they picked up from their coworkers. I don't mean to be too glib, but some programmers have this d…

As a long-long-time Lego fan, yeah, some of us will buy the 'knockoffs' if they provide something different that Lego itself wont. I myself have tried many of the non-Lego lego set…

It's actually supposed to do exactly that! The set is supposedly designed to be built in the same order as the real life basilica was and is being built.

Ah I see. What I've been trying to do is integrate the LEDs into specific pieces instead, so I've mostly been using individual ones rather than strips. I was actually inspired by a…

I'd love to see the back of that if you actually integrated the LEDs into the main engine (and I apologize if you did post other photos, I have X mostly blocked so I can only see t…

They're doing the best they can given the budget and size constraints. The set has to simultaneously be interesting and not tedious to build, cost a somewhat reasonable amount, not…

I've talked with a Lego designer before, and for some themes they're not allowed to even request new molds. Even new colors of existing pieces can be contentious. My own head canon…

This is actually not particularly true. In fact, the problem of unique pieces almost ended up sinking Lego because they were spending so much on molds and manufacturing of a single…

So the set supposedly is going to be built with the same progression as the real thing -- the parts of the basilica that were built first in real life are also the first parts of b…

So, fun trick with sets like these, that are in the more 'professional' space of Lego is that most of the time, these sets are very open ended because they only provide you a bunch…
