I agree with your first paragraph. Of course that the definition of wrongness or inelegant varies per engineer, which without a "pressure" towards a business solution being delivered might never converge.

Why would you want to carry a pocketknife or a handgun ? Is this a satire ?

Not disengaged, people start chasing butterflies, developers start getting lost in irrelevant technical details and adding complexity instead of solving the problems at hand — since it’s more fun to play with tech than it is to solve busine

The NVIDIA vision of it is pretty great, the industrial meta verse. Check their GTC demo with BMW.

VFX artists can definitely make a good living. Their salaries are comparable to tech if you remove the stock portion. They also work crazy OT and are paid hourly which means big money. That's true if you're more senior of course.

100% -- and that also manifests in our day to day interactions at work unfortunately as a lot of tech workers are in Reddit/Twitter. It's very unfortunate and put our society in a bad path.

I think it's mostly a question of price currently. AMD CPUs are much cheaper per pixel produced that GPUs

AVX512 is used in VFX for rendering, as well as in tensorflow ?

No, you're wrong. Everyone who wants to stay in business and makes money actually does it. Has been my experience in all big companies, it's a business continuity problem /not to do it/. You can and should run security

Yes vendor them all too.

by aprdm 4y ago
You can vendor images. Never have your product depend on something that is in the internet. Spin up Harbour locally and put it in the middle to cache at the very least.

What kind of question is this, there's not enough context to anyone but them to make this decisions, given all the context they have had one might be able to answer it..

I've been using it for close to 1 year now, but I basically use just the markdown files / editing / previews and folder structure. Do you use more than that ? Any recommendations ?

yes and that's how I know you never worked in the game industry. A lot of companies use perforce, perforce is a source control system that also has assets, and also has metadata, that you also have to take backups and query.

I believe games usually have assets too and not just metadata, would you put gbs of data in Postgres row ?
