They already said they plan to do this in the PR.

Highly recommend this guy’s channel, he livestreams building a Vulkan game engine and he has a crazy style too https://youtube.com/@tokyospliff?si=CMF53295xeETykbP

Question is, is anyone making a catalog of the catalogs? There are a lot.

Don't worry Alvy, those who really know Pixar, really know you were there right from the get go.

My whole fascination for computer graphics came from a 1987 BBC documentary that included a section about Pixar, Alvy, Bill Reeves and Loren Carpenter (part of it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-zlQ1kVK1k&t=375s)

It still blows my mind too that there isn’t a single opinionated framework. Imagine how much further forward JS would be. Rails is still an order of magnitude more productive than anything we have tried on JS, but everyone asks for JS because easier to find people. Truly maddening that JS somehow grabbed the popularity crown.

I've lost count of how many product owners have interchanged the word Database with Blockchain to try and score some PR points with their customers/bosses.

It is quite astonishing how seamless Apple has managed to make the Intel to ARM transition, there are some seriously smart minds behind Rosetta. I honestly don't think I had a single software issue during the transition!

I sometimes ponder whether we fundamentally just went in the wrong direction from the very start with quantum physics, but we ended up so far down the road it was impossible to start again.

Disclaimer: I'm not a physicist and my understanding is superficial at best.

New comment by dynjo in "Limb lengthening surgery is becoming more popular"

dynjo — Sun, 01 May 2022 04:31:31 +0000

I bet there is a direct correlation to Instagram usage here, particularly filters that allow you to lengthen your legs in this particular case.

Instagram is a ticking time bomb of mental health problems related to self image issues, particularly in younger women.

I know who the pilot was on this flight and I’m damn happy she won’t be getting near the controls of a plane again anytime soon. Coworkers were astonished she didn’t rip the flaps off.
