Or, be part of the user base to increase their numbers and be part of the wave that provides user feedback so dev teams can prioritize those features.
Not that I trust Tidal not to turn to shit eventually, probabaly some time after an IPO.
Murder. You’re allowed to say murder. This isn’t YouTube or some other corporate entity that will silence and demonitize you for using the correct words to describe the violence committed by others.
UE5 performance is fine these days if the game developer actually utilizes the tooling in place to catch problematic assets, sequences, blueprints, and more. Now, those tools may not be the easiest to use, but they do exist, and, with official documentation. It’s got challenges, but the tooling exists. In 5.5 there was even an expirmental plugin released that’s supposed to help with the burden of integrating this work, so it’s obvious there’s effort being put into providing tools for developers to make performant games
The problem is that takes additional time in a production pipeline, and is uaully pushed off to the side til the end of a game’s dev cycle instead of the beginning, if it’s done at all. And due to the way that many game studios are funded and operate, it’s not uncommon for product quality to follow the model of delivering features first to meet funding milestones instead of focusing on making sure the work that’s being introduced is also performant.
Screen space.
I work in tech doing performance, memory management, and developer workflow tooling and automation for a large 3D Rendering/Creation tool.
Being able to throw a long setup doc, or a large class file on a 4k portrait monitor allows me to read things through with a ton of context and far less scrolling.
It’s also useful for putting two window tiles that have related content, or one is a reference content.
I currently have a tie-fighter monitor setup (2x4k portrait on either side of a ultrawide) and will put comms and email/calendar on my left monitor, core work in the center, and overflow reference/research on the right.
It’s less hectic for personal use, but I still use all the space.
4k monitors in portrait orientation are amazing for productivity. It’s a shame more people don’t do this
The entire PNW is this way.
Summer Solstice in the Seattle area has twilight til ~10pm, even later up in Vancouver.
But yeah, don’t come, it’s always raining.
Don’t make us deport you to Florida.
If you’re just looking for an engine that recommends you music based off your likes, the FOSS community could utilize the Music Genomoe Project to build a tool too do that based one a folder or Playlist of music provided to it. I would be surprised if there already wasn’t a FOSS tool to do that.
One of my biggest fears of riding MTB in grizzly country is spooking one while out riding.
I’ve seen videos of people that have been chased and I don’t know if I’d survive.
There’s also been some major leaps in dark matter physics in the last few years. Revisiting primordial black holes using lasers and microlensing might actually be able to get supporting evidence here before long if the hypothesis holds.
PBS Space Time has a good video breaking this possibility and methodology down.
I mean, Wallingford has some awesome peeps too. I’m not “from” here, but was brought into the fold by some locals 15 years ago and have had many house party encounters with people that have lived here their entire lives and families have been here for generations (good buddy of mine has family dating back to the founding of Ballard).
And we are all hanging out all over the city partying. Crocodile, Tractor Tavern, El Corazon, Nectar Lounge, Comet, Columbia City Theater, OG Funhouse, Nuemos & Barboza, and sooo much more.
Seattle is a fun city. And if you can find your peeps, this place will raise you up.
I bet we’ve met at a house party held by one of the Sam’s from Center School. That or a Burner “art fundraiser/party”.
See you on the dance floor.
SG1 was amazing. I really wanted to like SGU but the drastic change in story telling and direction made it difficult for me.
Wasn’t it the Beatles sueing Apple and not the other way around?
Hell, in 2000 I had teachers that wouldn’t take printed reports because not everybody had access to a computer for their work even though I did. Kids these days will never know the finger cramping pain of doing 20 page, college ruled, hand written papers.
That actually makes a lot of sense. Both Sir Mix-a-lot and PUSA have a huge Seattle hometown pride and presence.
Becky’s were before Karen.
“Oh my god, Becky, look at her butt!”
Thanks Sir Mix-a-Lot.
There’s been a push in higher education and professional markets for a STEAM education paradigm over STEM. Especially when you consider that there’s a ton of crossover between tradition STEM education and arts in modern day professionals (User Experience relies on all 5 domains for delivering truly great UX for example).
The AI bubble is being supported by NVIDIA. They’re investing in the majority of the companies that are then buying chips or services from NVIDIA/Partners (that they’ve also invested in).
The demand for the chips is out-pacing the actual product, AI products & services. And the major players in this space are not making money. OpenAI would have to do a 10x minimum price increase to even begin having a chance to start reporting profits.
Unless some serious outside investments come in, some serious sales of AI services and products, or some creative scammy pivot (crypto?), we’re about to live through another market bubble collapse. Unless
