Not in tech, so does the authority granting license to proceed do code reviews? Because when I submit building plans, they are manually reviewed and approved (or denied) by registe…

John Maynard Keynes is famously quoted as stating: “[Newton] was not the first of the age of reason. He was the last of the magicians.”

Lol, obviously never ventured into the Microsoft Techcommunity forums..

I coincidentally just abandoned a regular google search 'within the last year' because the first page of results were from 2011, 2013, 2022.. wtf?

It doesn't have that physical connection to the road the prior models had. I know a lot of this is the move to drive-by-wire with electric power steering and selectable modes. It d…

Tried until I ran out of 'dissections' with zero results on known good domains.. It seems like it just matches a list of precomputed entries, but does no actual operation of the us…

I've driven several BMW's starting in the mid 90's. I recently picked up a used 2017 sight unseen from a dealer pretty far away. It was the only one available I could find that met…

My fear is that on average all software will get worse and be less optimized. There will still be high quality products at a high cost with high touch humans shepherding developmen…

Isn’t spoken language in general and English in particular famously 50% redundant? Does that not provide the same (if not more) benefit to the model when narrowing the scope of int…

Be kind, rewind.

A quick tip: with more than (3) anchor points, make your anchor positions non-planar. This imparts a constant curvature and thus constant tension on the membrane and goes a long wa…

That's pretty much how I approached it; A1 M1 A0 M0 +----+----+----+----+----+ 0 6 12 18 24

It's a good onramp to building a programmatic intuition, but you're correct that it very quickly gets left behind once the 'magic' is understood. If you do a quick image search for…

VPD - virtual private developer. Sell off parcels of developer attention by the hour!

Are there any productive tools or workflows you employ for modeling directly in VR? Or is it more useful for review and evaluation of models developed on traditional workstations? …

Do you find the value of VR/AR to be in the communication of design intent to clients unfamiliar with traditional 2D representations, or do your designers leverage VR/AR during the…

The '--userns=auto' argument is a useful isolation method in both rootless and rootful Podman containers. This allows rootful Podman to orchestrate privileged capabilities while ru…

Yuck, get some cast iron. At yard sale if necessary, their useful lifetimes are measured in (human) generations. Chris young has a great comparison of the physical differences betw…

Macs let you disable suspend just like (or possibly better) than any other operating system. The point being made is that it's the wrong tool for the job, precisely because of the …

AMD Strix Halo was half the price at launch, same 128GB unified memory and nearly identical memory bandwidth. It is x86, so run whichever OS your heart desires. You give up 200GB n…

I use bitwarden[0]. It covers all cases and devices in question. As a bonus, I self host using the open source vaultwarden[1] server implementation, which is packaged in alpine lin…

Serve your country and join the war against malady by enlisting as a front line high 'T' tactical germ fighter today!

In 20 years of archviz, I've only encountered ambient occlusion as a shortcut to save on compute; such as real-time viewport effects or to constrain resources on large render jobs.…
