I’ve seen such a distinction before, but I’ve been around telescopes and particle accelerators. Single system, but different roles in the same system with a different UI.

Atmospheric distortion looking down is not as severe as it is looking up. This is because the distortion subtends much greater angles looking up than looking down, since the distortion is close to the observer. Looking down, it’s also true

Depends on the “fast food” but generally, terminals have custom or no tipping buried in the interface after 25/20/18/15/10 or whatever the steps are. I would be happy if 18 and 10 were the bottom options, depending on t

When was that? I mentioned in another thread I used alpha_1 in high school at the U (2002). I had actually had Autocad (R16) 3D CAD experience at the time, but alpha_1 was a lot of fun. I ended up making a 3D Model of Escher’s Belvedere. On

I attended the High School Computing Institute in the summer of 2002 in the CS department (before attending and majoring in physics). I did more graphics with alpha_1 although there was a simulated cassini rover in lisp program there. It wa

Both probably. I’ve lived in Utah and California (among other states) and I would characterize both as having the majority of their politicians unreasonably secure in their jobs and power. In Utah, most of the politicians were more at risk

This is not limited to California, it happens in virtually every state with majority rule, left or right.

I’ve worked with systems engineers, as in the modeling/SysML type. It is important to note that software is usually a part of a much bigger system, usually physical, and that systems engineering is kind of an engineering approach to pr

ROOT is most comparable. Iceberg+Parquet/ORC/Avro is comparable to (and with better benefits) to some of the multi-file catalog-like features of HDF5. There’s some cases where data really needs to be structured, especially closer

It’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. SLAC no longer is the acronym. This is partially because, in theory, the lab could be contracted out to an entity other that Stanford to run. There was an attempt to brand it SNAL for a bit in the

it’s important to note that memory safety is only one kind of bug. Plenty of go and java programs are memory safe with a litany of bugs - and are probably directly protecting an order or two magnitude more of your personal data than Rust an

I thought <bigcorp> used <xyz> is always a funny question/assertion. Bigcorps are large and diverse. In this case - this seems to be user/desktop facing as it's a fuse module for studio assets.

Ah yeah, I see. I was thinking more about the downward assessments on sold buildings. Below $400/sq ft is pre-2010 prices.

Can I ask about your home life? Do you have, or expect to have: partner, parents, roommates, children, pets?

It would be free to do some token new construction or change of ownership though

And Jax, and now Mojo, and while we’re at it, Graal.Python, and all sorts of other forgotten ones.

At $225/sq ft it would be bad news. I’m sure a lot of newer properties are assessed at triple that.

I’d be a little cautious dropping in several tons of mass over a few inches of concrete unless I knew it was reinforced (depending on age of house), in good shape, and soil conditions - even for slab on grade. Pour conditions are highly var

Do you even gRPC/avro/thrift/IDL bro? I know those aren’t the data structures you probably meant, but those are data structures that are commonly shared. That’s different than a model though, which I think is really what OP i

I remember hearing people (DIY) were mastering to HiFi VHS or SVHS in the 90s because the quality was pretty good and tape was cheap. That’s not the same thing we are talking about here
