The process for using MOKutils to re-enroll the module key, requiring yet another password that I can't easily get from my password manager with every single driver update is a PITA. Maybe it's just that fragile on my system.

Yes– I didn't say exclusively, I said often. The bigger old distros are more likely to work.

I use tumbleweed. In my line of work I need the official Nvidia divers and I 'prefer' to leave secure boot enabled. Tumbleweed makes that a huge pain in the ass... which is much better than most distros, where it's often impo

Yeah. Episodic streaming content has been incredible for the past few years, but now TV studio execs realized that indiscriminately pumping money into everything, all the time, inexplicably, isn't a good business move! So they've

Sure... Though while I hate to say it, I don't blame people for trusting Google's hosted copy of something. For better or worse, they are more trustworthy than some "as seen on a million janky tutorials" whatever.io. A v

Maybe! Add in package management that isn't a complete clusterfustrum and that could be pretty attractive. Cloudron basically does something similar with FOSS server apps.

I think JS (well, ES6) has a ton of positive qualities, and I think it's a great fit for many of its current applications. However, this is a pretty good example of what bothers me about the way many people use it. I see a lot of folks

a) That is completely irrelevant. You're making assertions about those cooks skill level and it's just utterly false. b) Most fine dining restaurants use EVERYTHING they get. The roots from the herbs that get trimmed, the bones an

Uh, that was very very much not my experience working in high-end fine dining. I worked as a bouncer at some really violent nightclubs and working as a fine dining cook was consistently WAY more pressure. Working in lower-level cooking jobs

And that's completely false. You don't leave culinary school as a chef if you're going into the restaurant business, you're a line cook or prep cook, and your knowledge lets you advance much more quickly than everyone el

Being a short-order cook is a trade you can be trained for in a few shifts. Sure, you can get great at it over many years, but you're done learning most of what you need to learn in a year, tops. Working a station at a fine dining re

I didn't say cyclists constantly dodge projectiles-- I said fast=moving obstacles, like cars and car doors. Having dodged quite a few car doors in Boston myself, I have a hard time picturing someone who could do that being dangerously

I wouldn't say it's impossible , but when you're driving/biking in dense, busy cities, you encounter all sorts of unexpected dangerous fast-moving obstacles all the time. I can't imagine this would be a bigger prob

Just like anything else in design, the first question should be "how can I convey this most clearly to the audience I'm addressing" not "hmm, I wonder if there's are any problems the technique I chose because it&#x2

A whole lot of manual work goes into making destructible 3D assets. Combined, I've put nearly a full work week into perfecting a breaking bottle simulation in Houdini to add to my demo reel, and it's still not quite there. And tha

Yes MA, but closer to RI, which is fairly different in some ways. The closest famous example is Emeril Lagasse, who most people assume is from New York. One big factor is the short O pronunciation being a lot rounder. Coffee is cawfee, like

Many developers fail to notice how colored their perspectives are by a) nostalgia for the technical simplicity of web 1.0, b) the curse of expertise, and c) confirmation bias. A website, just like any other application, exists to solve a pr

I pronounce the vowels in Mary, marry, and merry differently— like mail, marathon, and merit– but apparently that's not true in many places in the US. My regional accent is pretty mild, but I did grow up in a famously heavily accented

(random thought that popped into my head that might be interesting if you like this stuff-- there are lots of gui options for making tones and noise and I personally think it's super fun to explore these sounds.)

My back-of-the-napkin math: Amazon warehouses run 24/7, so a million divided by 365 is $2740 per day, which turns out to about $114 per hour. Amazon warehouses employ about 1500 people (even though SoCal warehouses probably employ mo

Probably about as consumer-related as any other part of a 3d rendering pipeline. Most 3D rendered images you see-- VFX, motion graphics, animation-- were rendered and composited into video clips. Some things like video games render 3D in re
