The game owns and article makes a great point. These games around about high resolution graphics and densely packed pixels. It's about the atmosphere, story, setting, your personal struggle against seemingly impossible odds.

The fact people care about graphic quality is pretty funny to me. Go play the latest FPS online loot shooter if you want "triple A" graphics.

The game is a masterpiece in it's own right. Its like taking a dark souls game and making it bigger and bigger. Then just when you thought you were nearing the end. Oops sorry you are only 30% done with the game!

I'm at 100 hours on PC , getting close to finishing. Some graphic stutters near release but since then i've had no issues at all. Medium level rig.

self driving tractors have been around for years already. The guy operating usually just chills there listening to the radio and occasionally engages to help with precise turns or whatnot.

There are countless indie games out there too worth all your time and more. If you like elden ring you need to experience the whole soulsborne series. AAA games are as trash as they've ever been.

i'm not worried about my DIS shares getting hacked as they chill in the digital world compounding interest. It appears that investing in crypto is not quite as safe? One of my bros got hacked in mt gox and since then i've been a bit weary of putting serious sums of money into it (i have maybe 1-5% of my portfolio in crypto and not planning on betting the house anytime soon).

I've 100% noticed it in the past months. Have a new employee that i'm trying to train up a bit with python and googling has gotten more annoying. fucking codegrepper.com & shit. FUG EM . hilarious when you find the exact same snippet over and over. Even more hilarious those asswipes are probably making $$ (potentially lots) with all the stupid clicks n that.

did our ancestors have GPS enabled phones when they started making trans-atlantic trips? What about my grandma in 1970 packing up 6 kids in a station wagon and driving somewhere on vacation? You can get by without google maps and google even.

The geography of united states and north america is what gives us unique weather. The rocky mountains create a huge 'divide' in our geography and naturally ends up causing what is known as 'lee troughing' on the eastern side of rockies. Essentially the mountain range promotes low pressure development (storm development) on the eastern side. Which is why the other side of the mountain is so dry. Our side of the general storm system is wet, their side out west of rockies is dry.

from the article at the end. suggest u read it hashman.

"Classical crystals have a very broad field of applications," said physicist Joachim Gräfe of the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems.

"Now, if crystals can interact not only in space but also in time, we add another dimension of possible applications. The potential for communication, radar or imaging technology is huge."

One of my neighborhood friends is a HFT guy and he says he makes bank off fractions of a dollar. Not all trading is equal obviously. But he said sometimes it's like 3,4,5 decimals places deep that he is watching the stock prices and trading

You have any experience with numerical weather prediction files? The ftp files you download are typically 'the whole globe' with a bunch of variable stacked like layers of images in a big image file. One of the problems is that a typical numerical weather prediction output has so much fucking data you dont need.

GFS for example. IT has maybe 200 or so timesteps in each forecast, runs 4x a day. There are a shit load of configs to run for the GFS. And each config + output has maybe 300/400 variables in each file? So you download 200 files, each with 400 images in it, each image is pretty dense. Each file is ~200 megs, X 200 files. You do the math. Get that 4x a day. And that is just one forecast model. We have lots more, and many more that have higher resolution and denser data.

The biggest problem i think is they have a goddamn free-ass oldschool FTP server. They are allowing dimwit grad school scrip kiddies to code up whatever shit they want. Infinite loops to try and download gobs of data you dont understand? sure go ahead.

They dont even know how to trakc users. they want to keep an open server, and use IP Address as unique ID. I suggested to use fucking tokens, or username/pass combo at least haha

The headlines are misleading. The people leading the call actually said the problem was 'volume' of data. I heard them talk, i'm not sure they really know what is going on or understand the issue.

Also the problem isnt just weather.gov and weather API. Sites like accuweather are likely grabbing raw files from the FTP servers. Everytime a new forecast comes out (for say the GFS), all these people hit the server at same time to download gobs and gobs of data. Yall would be surprised at how much data in is weather prediction outputs!

I have a degree in meteorology. I can forecast weather for the 4th of July over next 3 years (2021, 2022, and 2023). here in Chicago, Illinois.

will be upper 80s, low 90s. Chance of thunderstorms in afternoon.

Congrats, i have now predicted a typical 4th of July and will be correct more than normal. Damn i should have built a web company and sold my ideas for a bajillion dollars

I was on the call. my work uses these data and we needed to know how things were changing. Not only external users but also some internal apps n such. One guy from a GIS section talked up and was like, hey is this going to affect the maps on water.weather.gov and other sites? The head dude was like, yup it is. So even internal agencies are getting affected by it.

Overall tho yes. Some large players take the data here , process it, and resell at larger value. Some might call it a value add. Accuweather is shit tho so dont ever go to them for anything

this holds true for new pokemon games, i'd never buy that shit. however sometimes i want to have a good afternoon. no wife, no kids, smokin weed killin time playing and old school pokemon game. sounds delightful haha.

Definitely ok to feel the way you feel. Talking to people is always an option as well. For me i was lucky to find a wife and now have a child. The 9-5 literally blows by, i'm at a giant mega co (not faang) and it sucks similarly. Sometimes it's crunchtime and u gotta work hard, other times no one gives a shit as long as systems function. I've put in my time grinding (5 years at startup) and now want to milk the shit out of these corporate bastards as much as possible.

Basically my wife and now child have changed my life , work sucks (just like blink182) said but hey they are payin me big $$$ to chill out. As a father and husband consitent steady income is name of the game. If you are single and want to hustle, sure fuckin job hop all you want bud!!

love slay, this is really interesting and fun work i would guess. Game is hard but after you play a lot, it becomes less hard because you know a lot. A20 still fucks ya hard, not sure i really enjoy it that much. Climbed to A20 with all 4 chars. Recommend the game!

If u like hob, dark souls, rpgs... You will love slay the spire. It's so fun man and was one of my first roguelikes. If you get hooked on a roguelike you are in for hundreds of hours. EASY!

just being jaded , all the money is in shareholders and investors pockets. Because once you have a disruptive AI-based startup, you have become englightened and now are on the course to change the future of human race with your amazing AI. (AI? i meant series of if statements and linear regression).

Agree seems like there is disproportionate dislike here for quibi. How many other billion dollar startups eat the shitter without this much hub-bub?

However it is fair to hate on the founder jeffrey shrekzenburg. I know some folks who work at quibi and say this dude is insufferable. Probably not as insane, but stephen wolfram levels of dooshbaggery. Dictator type who thinks is shit is golden. Turns out he made a 1.5 billion dollar piece of shit and from what i hear, he has finally accepted that maybe he isnt the greatest thing ever.

Also if you like shrek, he made shrek/dreamworks. And short little farquad is basically jaffrey katzenburg from what i've heard
