same. we've got 3 to 4 hundred million rows in one table and our queries still complete in the 100ms range!

Wind shear is easy. feel the wind on your face, then jump as high as possible and feel the wind up there.

The game owns and article makes a great point. These games around about high resolution graphics and densely packed pixels. It's about the atmosphere, story, setting, your personal struggle against seemingly impossible odds.

The fact people care about graphic quality is pretty funny to me. Go play the latest FPS online loot shooter if you want "triple A" graphics.

The game is a masterpiece in it's own right. Its like taking a dark souls game and making it bigger and bigger. Then just when you thought you were nearing the end. Oops sorry you are only 30% done with the game!

I'm at 100 hours on PC , getting close to finishing. Some graphic stutters near release but since then i've had no issues at all. Medium level rig.

One of my good co-workers is daughter of a dentist from the UK. the practices there are much different. We have had him analyze xrays and scans, he says its fine the people here just want/need your money!

self driving tractors have been around for years already. The guy operating usually just chills there listening to the radio and occasionally engages to help with precise turns or whatnot.

There are countless indie games out there too worth all your time and more. If you like elden ring you need to experience the whole soulsborne series. AAA games are as trash as they've ever been.

i'm not worried about my DIS shares getting hacked as they chill in the digital world compounding interest. It appears that investing in crypto is not quite as safe? One of my bros got hacked in mt gox and since then i've been a bit weary of putting serious sums of money into it (i have maybe 1-5% of my portfolio in crypto and not planning on betting the house anytime soon).

I've 100% noticed it in the past months. Have a new employee that i'm trying to train up a bit with python and googling has gotten more annoying. fucking codegrepper.com & shit. FUG EM . hilarious when you find the exact same snippet over and over. Even more hilarious those asswipes are probably making $$ (potentially lots) with all the stupid clicks n that.

did our ancestors have GPS enabled phones when they started making trans-atlantic trips? What about my grandma in 1970 packing up 6 kids in a station wagon and driving somewhere on vacation? You can get by without google maps and google even.

The geography of united states and north america is what gives us unique weather. The rocky mountains create a huge 'divide' in our geography and naturally ends up causing what is known as 'lee troughing' on the eastern side of rockies. Essentially the mountain range promotes low pressure development (storm development) on the eastern side. Which is why the other side of the mountain is so dry. Our side of the general storm system is wet, their side out west of rockies is dry.

i've gone to bed on maybe 5-10 occasions before my kids actually fall asleep. I read them nighttime books and get sleepy as fuck while reading. Then pop right over to bed around 8pm or 8:10pm and lay there falling asleep by 8:30pm. Usually wake up around 4-5am.

from the article at the end. suggest u read it hashman.

"Classical crystals have a very broad field of applications," said physicist Joachim Gräfe of the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems.

"Now, if crystals can interact not only in space but also in time, we add another dimension of possible applications. The potential for communication, radar or imaging technology is huge."

One of my neighborhood friends is a HFT guy and he says he makes bank off fractions of a dollar. Not all trading is equal obviously. But he said sometimes it's like 3,4,5 decimals places deep that he is watching the stock prices and trading

YEah i can tell you for 10 bucks. Try to google wind speed LAX for starters. Did you search at all? Airports have weather stations that record shit and you can get at those data.

You have any experience with numerical weather prediction files? The ftp files you download are typically 'the whole globe' with a bunch of variable stacked like layers of images in a big image file. One of the problems is that a typical numerical weather prediction output has so much fucking data you dont need.

GFS for example. IT has maybe 200 or so timesteps in each forecast, runs 4x a day. There are a shit load of configs to run for the GFS. And each config + output has maybe 300/400 variables in each file? So you download 200 files, each with 400 images in it, each image is pretty dense. Each file is ~200 megs, X 200 files. You do the math. Get that 4x a day. And that is just one forecast model. We have lots more, and many more that have higher resolution and denser data.

The biggest problem i think is they have a goddamn free-ass oldschool FTP server. They are allowing dimwit grad school scrip kiddies to code up whatever shit they want. Infinite loops to try and download gobs of data you dont understand? sure go ahead.

They dont even know how to trakc users. they want to keep an open server, and use IP Address as unique ID. I suggested to use fucking tokens, or username/pass combo at least haha
