Actually, Jon scores 2 by the time The Survey is conducted.
Link is NSFL. Seriously.
Could be asbesthos sheets. Still regrettably common in former Soviet countries.
Home is where the heart is; cave is where the goon is.
American eyes can’t bear the blinding light of the truth and they scurry back into the gooncave.
The reason is that we want it to fail. My original comment was more emotive than descriptive. The system is horribly designed and a fucking menace on the best day, so short of direct sabotage, we’re doing what we can to force the bossmang to replace it.
It’s surprisingly easy to get from the main hall to the server room. There are two doors between the entry hall and the server room, one can be bypassed by yanking it real hard, and that gives access to the breaker box for the electromagnets among others. The building is not particularly well-designed.
One of our servers is a rotting carcass being kept alive by our collective prayers. It runs Windows 7 and custom software whose developer is dead and the source is missing, nothing has been updated for over a decade, and it has its own independent UPS because once it goes down, it has an extremely slim chance of recovering, and we’re afraid to test it. It controls the card entry system into the building, including the server room. Boss doesn’t want to replace it because we’d have to replace all of the terminals and controllers too, and it hasn’t catastrophically failed yet.
You’re right. It’s not a pet. It’s like one of the Saw movies: if it dies, we’re all fucked.

The entire “non-ideological” thing is just him not wanting to be challenged for being a shitter.
One day the Year of the Linux Desktop will arrive.
And some people will want to pound the ecosystem back into the 80s because their obsolete, bug-ridden pile of technical debt isn’t the most popular (insert system component here) in the world, and the best alternative has some issues.
Well if you want to turn this into a dick measuring contest…
Your GPU might tell you to glue cheese to your pizza, but at least it’s fast!
They literally did this with The Witcher 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZZgL3wnkmE&t=2m56s
To be fair, the “sunny California” setting and atmosphere is probably as bland and generic as it gets. It didn’t give designers a lot to work with.
Depends on how you define “accurate”. Even full ray tracing is just an approximation based on relatively few light rays (on an order of magnitude that doesn’t even begin to approach reality) that is deemed to be close enough where increasing the simulation complexity doesn’t meaningfully improve visual fidelity, interpolated and passed through a denoising algorithm. You can do close enough with a clever application of light probes, screenspace effects, or using a second camera to render the scene onto a surface (at an appropriate resolution).
If you think that video is representative of the release game’s actual performance and fidelity, I have several bridges to sell you.
Oh, you use
pacstrapandarch-chroot, do you? Back in my day all we had wascpandinstalland we liked it that way! Kids these days wouldn’t know how to install SLS without their Yays and Pac-men.
