Thanks for the explanations. I don’t expect it is an easy explanation, but I will propose the lack of one is the reason so many thousands of Windows machines have UAC disabled. And, brunt abstract fear is not going to change that. In Windo

I'm not looking for a fight here, but I plead innocent to your accusations. I would not suggest I am any authority on the subject; quite the contrary. I have found it annoying, but I won't take responsibility for that. If I am ign

Yeah that GPU passthrough sounds pretty awesome. As for the environment reload solution, your solution sounds like the best one for most people, and probably the best one for me in practice, to be honest. But there is some value the scripte

My setup script starts by making a backup of the registry, then configuring Python. I use Python for most of the rest and Powershell only where necessary. Contrary to what my comment may suggest, I am actually a software minimalist. A large

Thanks the response! It makes sense. It sounds like a similar result operationally to using something like Macrium for a master image backup. This is something I wanted to prevent because modifying that master image backup on a regular basi

Disgusting. I hate how easy it is for me to remember this culture in that time. I did not readily realize it but Shock was the name of the game. The original hipster was a coked out liar who spoke in what we now call youtube comments. At

RAM is a critical necessity for offline 3D rendering. I have 256 GB of it in my workstation. I very rarely need that, but it’s not just a speed issue. Rendering particle physics sims requires the whole sim to be in memory. So, it’s not an o

Thanks for the response. I will certainly research these items. Unfortunately, I do need native performance. My workstation runs a 5960X, 256 GB RAM, x4 GTX 980 Tis, a stack of SSDs and I use all of it regularly. I’m very curious about this

The comic strip was tough to swallow for me, having spent the last few months automating configuration of my Windows workstation setup I use for 3D/VR. I was doing freelance jobs and had my workstation collapse a few times during aggre

I asked Amazon Customer why their “2 day” shipping method is called such when it uses UPS Ground, a 4-7 day shipping service. The response was that they can only guarantee delivery times once the package leaves the Amazon warehouse.

Which part? ‘Victimless’ is a subjective term, and maybe too much to justify it’s use.

After freelancing for 3 years, the most difficult part for me was getting paid for my work. Communicating job requirements was not always difficult. I even enjoyed the process and the challenge. But, I learned there was no way to charge for

You are a victim. ‘Victimless’ is of course a relative descriptor. A ‘victimless crime’ is generally a crime without violations of civil liability. Drug use is still widely considered non-victimless, on the grounds that drug use generates

Your analogy of the polluting factory works if discussing the substances you listed which are not passively controlled under use, or in the case of second hand smoke. I think we can (and must) discuss those seperately for the sake of cla

Be careful with binary assessments of whether someone ‘is a dick or is not a dick.’ The linked article draws more differences than similarities as far as I can tell. Max Howell readily admits weakness before pride. He brags outwardly at the

I could have pressed on it more, but I think the Southern California coastline and the frequented routes in the Northeast are the only exception here. It sounds like your trip across country was quite lucky. I've never done trips quite

What I understand, which has at least been consistent with my experience riding many routes in most regions of the country, is that Amtrak is hindered by having to yield to freight, which takes priority in the US. It's very rare to tak

This was my earlier approach before I moved to using 3 for most things. At that time, I tried moving env vars to 3->2 and using the Windows Launcher and haven’t looked back. It makes everything work so much better. This article actually

I am interested in everyone’s initial (and resulting) imagined depictions of what this is/looks like. I’m not sure how you can share this with me. Maybe they don’t even vary much. My own depiction figures a slew of packing-taped barcod

This reads like a last minute research assignment with a minimum length requirement. The ‘tetrad’ diagram is probably one of the more distracting and less useful paths to understanding McLuhan. I encourage anyone interested in the topic, or

??? I just read the article... not sure what you're point is. My point is that the author "encoded and even amplified" bias that the data did not have. Most of the article concerns being aware of inherent bias in data. My

Most it this made sense to me, but the section on ‘bias’ seemed to leave the ground a little more than I think is healthy. The problem is correctly identified. The solutions offered are OK, but the examples and concluded causes appear unrea

The ‘rich-vs-poor’ division is no equivalence. This should need no explanation.

If it isn’t, it will be. Religious texts can be revered studied like mythology (because they are). Critiques of biblical literalism are already fairly old-fashioned and surprisingly unnecessary. I have a very religious family, which was un

All good points, hard to argue with. What would you suggest be done?

How do you get to the years and years of focused work? Vocabularies are the building blocks and mapping points of our knowledge stores. I think the suggestion is that emphasis on awareness and, at least some symbolic reverence to the concep

The original values are 3 dimensional and therefore best represented in a cube. If HSV is used, the hue is isolated to one dimension, which would represent the circumfrance of the color wheel you’re thinking of. The colors around the circ
