I got a twinge of that as well but think that, if I did not have an original with which to compare the results, I might not get that twinge.

Back when I did these sorts of doc tasks for a prototyping team, I used to create BUML* using Visio. It was kind of hard but nowhere near as hard as using Rational's offering. The dev team liked and used them. I like the looks of Plant

Wow. With "secondhand embarrassment" you have deftly labeled a feeling I have had so many times in my life but have never been able to succinctly name.

I have spent quality time with a couple different FJ Cruisers and it is a vehicle of which I am not very fond. The seating and interior, especially the headroom, is not comfortable for me and has poor outward visibility. More than those thi

About 2005 or so a co-worker bought a new Toyota FJ Cruiser, kept it for a week and then showed up with a Honda Element. When I asked him why he said, "The FJ is just too fussy. I go hiking and fishing with the dogs and, with this Elem

This is correct. I do video and 3D with a Threadripper 3990X with 128GB RAM and a 3090 because I don't want to even think about computational restraints. It is overkill for 95% of my work but, that other 5% where I am rendering somethi

Interesting, much resemblance between that and the microscope.com Omano scopes I reference above in my last link.

Ignoring the computational parts, Olympus makes some spectacular optics but isn't recognized (much) for those, either.
