I grew up around TV production and ran camera at least a hundred times for dynamic speakers who dashed around the entire stage. With the right equipment, this is very doable. You need a high quality camera head and longish arms placed a com

New cost for a T-34 mid war would be 150,000 to 200,000 rubles. A US Sherman tank from the same time would be around $46,000 then, or about a half million in today’s dollars.

FYI, 120 million American households is only a few percent off from the being all American households. That part at least is fair.

The kits were from 1984 to 2009. It sounds like cases were being marked closed (usually incorrectly) before the kits were processed and the DNA added to the database. Thus, the kits were tossed into storage. For background, this is Detroit

I wrote to own code to scrape my friend’s aim status, look for changes, slap them in a DB and then build a timeline web page out of them with PHP. I had my own twitter/facebook in 2000.

If they weren’t using Lumberyard, that would be more exciting, but CryTech claims RSI is, and some of their other claims are based on RSI having switched. They can’t have it both ways.

by danielvf 9y ago
This suit seems a bit weak in places. For example they are sueing that they only licensed cryengine for one game, and yet RSI was planning on using it for two games. However the second game has never shipped, and RSI has switched both games

I compared this high monthly average to the previous high average, a small difference as you said, because the headline sounded like extreme heat at Barrow overwhelmed measuring hardware, in contrast to the actual article that tells us that

1998 was the previous high average in the last 20 years. Look in the bottom right side of the graph I linked to.

Yeah, not bothered at all, just wondering if I missed something.

Thanks. I'm getting the temperature number from the graphs in the article. Here's one, showing Barrow temperature vs sea ice: https://www.climate.gov/sites/default/files/barrow-temp-vs-n...

Slightly misleading headline. The November 2017 temperature readings from Utqiaġvik (Barrow), Alaska were 2.5 degrees higher than November 1998. The NCEI's ingest code for their monthly report flagged this station as a probable sensor

First, it’s markdown based. That’s probably not an advantage for you, but it’s a syntax people are used too. Secondly, syncing is built in. Sure you could use git on your org mode file, but that’s requires effort. Thirdly, this handles atta

I'm also going to really recommend putting images on Amazon S3 (or Google's equivalent). If you get a good library to handle this, you can also get nicely resized thumbnails as well. When using volumes, you are are going to consta

Do you have a pile of expat Russian/Ukraine friends? If so, they’d be the first ones to ask. Otherwise, if you live in a US or U.K. metropolitan area, they are pretty easy to find. Also, have you visited as a tourist already?

This is exactly the issue. It’s not that all $manufacturing_demographic have issues showing up up, working, or are doing drugs, it’s that the pool has been almost picked clean of those who don’t.
