dead but still rolling in her grave over her pedo son.

I went through this process in 2012-2016 - took out the gas dryer, gas stove and replaced them with electric. Mostly because my wife’s family has a history of asthma and the data for gas appliances and asthma is disconcerting to say the least. Especially for kids.

Good luck with your eventual transition!

that does seem like a better method of working through the "I JUST DON’T FUCKING KNOW YET"s

I love working on the edge of exploration, but also recognize it’s going to be a lot of dipping the toes in and seeing what the water is like before I can reliably predict these things. I’m fortunate that no one on my team does what I do, so, sometimes they just accept “will report back next week with an estimate based on actual research”.

also not getting ambushed with large hypotheticals beyond our actual tool chain support help but <shrug>

a true team player. prob mvp too.

story point numbers

how many different ways can I say “I simply don’t know yet?”

well give us a guess

could be one point… could be 50? I DON’T KNOW

well yeah but give it a guess anyway

more like boner mingo

Shout out to OG Aurelio’s

yes. and their pies were cheap, we lived on this in the 80s.

no one in star fleet wants to replace sentient beings with AI. Even the ships very capable AI.

the fact that data is laying physical paint onto a physical canvas and having to evaluate and create from the point of the medium tells me that he’s not slop.

of course he’s a fictional character. but yeah.

fucking microsoft too. they’re enshittifying things so much because they can charge you rent to compute instead

in a completely legal and BINDING way I’m sure

well, fuck… yeah I’d be signed up for StarFleet++ which includes backing up my buffer profiles…

that’s how they get you.

honest lore question:

couldn’t they have fixed it both ways?

Restore the originals from the pattern buffer and leave the new guy?

um… I think there’s more to this (for sag/aftra productions) -

residuals come into play when the project you worked on is distributed and exhibited beyond the remit of the original release, which includes the following:

Worldwide theatrical releases for films 10 exhibition days within 1 year on subscription-based TV 1 exhibition and a week of advertising-based video on demand (AVOD) 90 days of high-budget subscription video on demand (HBSVOD), which include platforms like Hulu, Netflix, Max, etc.

that beyond term is the key - and these properties have long tails.

but at the end the amounts are paltry compared to how syndicated residuals used to keep artists afloat.

yeah it’s all fucked

slick. TY!

Nice link, TYVM

so many questions.

ok ok ok uhhh

supported execution models include Windows and Linux PC titles as well as native ARM64 and Android-based APKs.

I wonder what the perf dynamics are for each

And you think production is going to share their profits from a finished series with the artists?

I don’t know if it’s still applicable to productions taking place today across the board, but SAG still exists so I have to believe a large number of hollywood productions still give residuals to people…?

I know for many it’s a pittance but better something than nothing at all.

I’m probably thinking too much into all this and will catch up sometime in the future after the apocalypse. thanks for the insight.

ech… I’m one of those ancient weirdos who want artists to get paid for their work. and I’m already in front of screens too much for work and gaming, corpulent etc.,.
