Not fully. There's a lot of institutional inertia that makes it hard to train and hire new ATC controllers. The pay isn't that great, it requires a lot of education, and you might have to move to some small city to get started for

Notice I said that it's the populace who will gain an appetite for flattening Iran, not that it's actually practical to achieve that. You could very well find yourself extending the war for much longer than it would otherwise go o

I'm not saying it's possible to accomplish that, just that directly harming the comfort of the American populace is a good way to unify large parts of said populace in wanting to destroy you. There's a non-zero chance of incr

Trouble is, there's a good chance that a large portion of the population will then be in favour of ending the war by escalating it to the point of flattening Iran. And that portion of the population has somewhat of a correlation with t

A lot of them _want_ to be able to go in guns blazing and not having to be careful. They're living out a Warrior fantasy.

I don't know that Microsoft is without significant blame here. They provided a mechanism for LG to do this without the necessary checks. They could just as easily make part of the WHQL process and related agreements state pretty clearl

It's both. Getting into the multi-billionaire levels of wealth takes a certain mindset that can probably be easily associated with some neurological disorders and personality traits that one could describe as 'monstrous'. But

Because that was exactly the jump for me. Ultrasound led to expedited surgery that happened within 2 weeks of the ultrasound. The results of the surgery led to chemotherapy. It wasn't long between the ultrasound and BEP being hooked up

No, it's mostly nonsense to them. You know what's a progress indicator? An actual progress indicator. Not some text telling you such and such process is 1234/5678 steps done...followed by yet another line of text telling you

That is exactly what one of my earliest CS teachers taught me. No news is good news.

While I agree that git is a tool for the development of an operating system kernel, it's become clear that this is not the general perception of it. I don't mean those of us who have followed it throughout it's evolution, but

I apologize if I came off harsh and combative. Gamedev is a passion for me and I spent many years in that field, including working on proprietary version control systems because existing ones like SVN, Git, Perforce...etc did not fit the ne

Now explain this to an artist with very little programming experience beyond what they picked up from their coworkers. I don't mean to be too glib, but some programmers have this decrepit idea that anyone working with computers should

As a long-long-time Lego fan, yeah, some of us will buy the 'knockoffs' if they provide something different that Lego itself wont. I myself have tried many of the non-Lego lego sets over the years. One that has been holding my att

It's actually supposed to do exactly that! The set is supposedly designed to be built in the same order as the real life basilica was and is being built.

Ah I see. What I've been trying to do is integrate the LEDs into specific pieces instead, so I've mostly been using individual ones rather than strips. I was actually inspired by a Lumibricks set for my method of routing the piece

by genocidicbunny 4mo ago
I'd love to see the back of that if you actually integrated the LEDs into the main engine (and I apologize if you did post other photos, I have X mostly blocked so I can only see the directly linked post.) I've been hacking at add

by genocidicbunny 4mo ago
They're doing the best they can given the budget and size constraints. The set has to simultaneously be interesting and not tedious to build, cost a somewhat reasonable amount, not be too huge that no one can display or even reasonably

I've talked with a Lego designer before, and for some themes they're not allowed to even request new molds. Even new colors of existing pieces can be contentious. My own head canon about the bonsai set is that the reason they made

by genocidicbunny 4mo ago
This is actually not particularly true. In fact, the problem of unique pieces almost ended up sinking Lego because they were spending so much on molds and manufacturing of a single piece that was only used in one set. If the set didn't

by genocidicbunny 4mo ago
So the set supposedly is going to be built with the same progression as the real thing -- the parts of the basilica that were built first in real life are also the first parts of building the Lego set. So I kinda wonder, what is the scaling

by genocidicbunny 4mo ago
So, fun trick with sets like these, that are in the more 'professional' space of Lego is that most of the time, these sets are very open ended because they only provide you a bunch of common pieces. Which you can buy yourself. Bri

I have an anecdote about doing exactly that. Always was a LEGO kid (first set I got was bought 3 months before I was born) and slowly over time collected a giant bin of pieces from all the various sets. Now as a much older adult, I actually

With that said, as someone who put together the Big Ben set back in the day and had raw fingers for a week after, I have a somewhat PTSD-like reaction to this set. It looks like there are going to be a lot of steps dealing with making many

It only needs a minor update, maybe even just a foreword. So much of the actual manual is still completely applicable.

I've done a few tours around the world on the interstate system, so I've seen my fair share of truckers. Yeah, some are assholes, but there are stretches and routes where their behaviour makes sense, even if I don't like it.
