"Appears like" is not correct. You could say "looks like," but that's not the title of this article.

Gatsby is great, of course, but for me, "This Side of Paradise" is far better. Underappreciated.

I opened GIMP once. I won't do it again until somebody compares a UI update to Blender's big one. 2.9?

We're going to see a lot of changes like this as the legacy media structure continues to lose its hold on the global attention budget. There will be multiple layers of major consolidation, and dramatically reduced budgets.

Fortunately, the variety of content will increase, and some of it will be higher quality than the average big media piece, as smaller teams create passion projects. Overall budgets will shrink, but advances in technology will (hopefully) allow the production quality to stay relatively high.

They don't want people using it while plugged in. They care more about how that would look antiquated than they do about convenience.

I was forced (thankfully) to commit everything under 12x12 to just rote memory, is that not widespread?

Interesting. It's a woodblock print, so I think it would have been created backwards from the final product?

The content creator should decide the frame rate. Higher real fps I can get behind. But I don't want a third tier middle man making up fake frames.

A mouse for Descent? We used to play with both hands on the keyboard- look, slide, and spin on the number pad, move, fire, etc. on the far left side. We're we alone?

New comment by jasonjamerson in "In-space manufacturing market set to propel exponentially by 2040"

jasonjamerson — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 00:47:37 +0000

Bold claim that payload cost will fall enough to take materials up, make display panels and import them back to Earth.

I think in-space manufacturing will be about two things for a long time: making things for space, like concrete out of regolith, and bringing things down that are rare on Earth, like precious metals.

Not paying is unprofessional and grounds for a lawsuit.
