And how much compute time/power does “decompressing” take compared to a jpg?

Besides I think they’d be more well rounded working a well paying trade for example than going tens to hundreds of thousands in debt hanging out in echo chambers and coming out with no marketable skills.

Cursive is optimized for fountain pens I believe. As long as we have pencils and ballpoint pens, using cursive is just a holdover from olden times with no actual pros compared to simpler writing methods

I do wonder is cursive really that hard to read without any lessons? It’s still English just with a awkward font. Writing cursive has a lot of rules but I would think most GenZers could read the constitution albeit slowly

I mean the store is making you do their very low paid tedious job for free on an inferior machine. It’s not exactly a barrel of laughs. I usually self checkout but I have an issue at least 70% of the time

Also go work somewhere close to your standards. From experience I can tell you that this is a battle you can’t win in a reasonable time table. There’s a reason it is the way it is and you can’t change those people.

I thought we were over this in like June 2020. Do they still have that policy? Trust the science!

I mined for a few weeks out of curiosity and I figured it would work as a heater downstairs since it was winter. I would think that the best move was to sell your GPU about a month before it all ends since the actual mining doesn’t make eno

I had that a few years ago on those scummy up sell warranty plans they trick you into buying at car dealerships. I had to fax a signed cancellation form. Thankfully there are Web services that allow you to send pdfs but it was obnoxious.

True but you also get more “free” services for your tax payments - especially if you have kids.

None of my kids would ever even take a pacifier. There are so many different babies that there is certainly no one true method.

If they lowered their hiring bar I’d be happy to do Jack shit all day too

It’s also dumb since I’ve had that title for almost 10 years now but I’m easily 3-5x better at my job than when I initially got it. I do get paid more which is nice and work at a better company. I still mainly like to code and system design

There’s a baseline of material that can be quite high before you get diminishing returns. Moving to a nicer neighborhood or a bigger place instead of having a 3 person household in a studio apartment where you get stabbed on your way in etc

At least you get a crappy android now. Not too long ago they were peddling gold encrusted dumbphones as some kind of a tasteless luxury item Edit: they still have those too https://www.vertu.com/products/signature-v-bla

I believe some driving sims support extra wide field of view so that you see the sides of the car interior. I’ve seen that with a multi monitor “curved” set up but I’m not sure if a true curved monitor is curved enough for that illusion. Mi

That would be my main worry that it starts splintering off too much. Maybe they’ll merge or kill off some of the storylines. The hobbit and the elf outpost seem like plot devices that might go away to keep it a bit more focused.

I seriously missed some weird angry mob. I watched the first two episodes yesterday out of curiosity and it was the most compelling TV show I’ve seen in years. I’ve read the books a long time ago and enjoy fantasy. I thought this was a gre

I mean it’s a fantasy show. They wanted to show that Galadriel was a elite fighter and they succeeded

Linux and Nokia were at one point the Crown Jewels of Finnish tech. One still remains. Would’ve been a match made in heaven but I believe they needed Microsoft’s cash to keep the company running. I remember testing the N900 at their store a

Also notice when you search anything in the store you always get a bunch of Sponsored results at the top. This is almost exactly like AdWords for search

The thing is that is just not what most people want out of a computer. Force everyone to use OpenBSD and they’ll still just use the browser and a few consumer apps. They won’t magically care about how computers work or spontaneously set up

Speed painting also usually involves practicing certain scenes. This method anyone can use to create any new scene that they can imagine and the result looks quite good with some patience. Seems like some people are overly pessimistic but t

I mean are most commercials or corporate brochures or startup websites “art” in some meaningful way? Not really.. What people are worried about is the death of the professional artist job market, not art as a concept

I’m not sure that will work for corporate clients which is what majority of the work is for. Oh great so this red splotch conveys the trustworthiness of Uber to our riders? I’m sure they’ll get it
