It's a standardized file that describes a 3D scene (with references to assets, transforms, etc). It makes asset pipelines easier to spin up and iterate on, but I don't think anything about USD specifically will further enable AI a

People pleasers can cause people to dislike them in a workplace, ironically. Being a people pleaser in software dev very often means you will over-burden yourself because you'd rather say "yes, I can do that for you" than &qu

I find people who complain about the PC community far more annoying, tbh. The PC community is just a bunch of young altruists trying to do the right thing (however misguided the attempt is). The anti-PC community has always struck me as chi

You're completely right, maybe a software developer's total contribution to the bottom line can be conveyed with a few snapshots of context-less code. Maybe every complex problem humanity faces today has an equally easy solution.

I'm no doctor, but it makes sense why exercise is also prescribed for countering diabetes in that case. If organs and muscles are "hungrier" for glucose when routinely exercising it seems like it would regulate blood sugar le

I kind of agree with you, actually. I think when it comes to clients, you should be presenting yourself in such a way that's most likely to sync with them. If your client is a bunch of grizzled/cynical old-school IT guys then you
