IIRC UT2K4 shipped with a Linux port on the install media.

In college around the time this came out, there were beefy Linux machines in one of the libraries. You could ssh into them for homework, but you could also physically access them. Xenon, with Nvidia Quadro gfx is my recollection.

So, I would rsync the game to /tmp (no root access of course, and home quota was too small), walk over and enjoy it on high end hardware. Fun stuff!

I would recommend PoE security cameras. You probably want support for RTSP / ONVIF.

I have some Amcrest cameras talking to Frigate. It is completely local—cameras on a separate VLAN that can’t talk to the Internet, footage is recorded on a server running Frigate. Works very well for me. No vendor lock-in is also nice!

Is this NoSQL?

I know it’s linking to That Site, but this is not universally true: https://www.reddit.com/r/HotWheels/comments/1h0ir1p/got_sick_of_seeing_that_losing_details_pic_going/

I probably would have ordered my matrix so that my/my and (not my)/(not my) were the diagonal elements, but that’s just nitpicking I suppose.

The pandemic was great for my city (San Francisco) in this regard—they shut/heavily discouraged a bunch of streets to through traffic for a number of “slow streets.” Kids and adults alike run, bike, scooter, etc. in the middle of these streets. Obviously people love them, so they remained after the pandemic (at least, the one’s I’m familiar with remain).

It’s not a full-on car ban, but it’s a start!

Not the parent you’re responding to, but I think it’s that my “mediocre” comment was a reference to the movie, and yours was a literal response to my joke. A bit of a whoosh situation.

Carnauba wax would like a word…

IIRC Waterson got a lot of flak for this, as there’s an implication that parents who adopt don’t love their kids as much. (Recollection from reading one of his annotated collections, could be wrong.)

So you’re saying it was…mediocre?

I have this sort of thing aliased, with some added --include flags to filter file type (e.g., only match source/script files). Super useful!

So, was it Griffiths, Purcell, or Jackson that got you?

640k 780k ought to be enough for anybody…

I know right? What a poser!

Born to late to explore the world.

But not the ocean!

A professional degree is historically different from an academic degree though. Math, chemistry, physics, biology, computer science—these typically produce (well compensated!) professionals, but they are not professional schools.

I am professional; I get paid to do the kinds of things that I did in grad school. But afaik no one would say I hold a professional degree.

All of this is besides the point of course—our student loan system shouldn’t disqualify people based on these sorts of semantics.

I was interpreting the quoted text as encompassing all engineering fields, e.g., EE, mechanical, computer, etc.

If that’s not the case and this is for specific professional engineering degrees then yep, I certainly agree with you.

This is actually the one that I would agree with (edit: see below), if the difference is “professional” vs. “academic.” I certainly wouldn’t call a natural science degree professional, and if you’re in a research institution studying some form of engineering I’d probably put you in the same category. Just my experience/opinion though (and the rest of the exclusions are super stupid, I agree).

Edit: from the replies, this is referring to Professional Engineering; in my corner of the world, “Engineer” is an overloaded term that generally means electrical, mechanical, software, and sometimes computer engineer. My comment was referring to these engineers, who are rarely licensed and study alongside scientists in school. I completely agree with parent in the context of “professional engineering” (I mean…it’s right there in the name…).

Daniel Radcliffe used this to his advantage—same outfit, and the paparazzi stopped bothering him:

It was three or four months. Because I was doing a play in London and every night there was paparazzi outside. And I suddenly realized after like after I just had just been lazy and not changed my clothes for a few days, that they were not there. And I realized it’s probably because I’m wearing the same thing so it all looks like photos from the same day. So I was like ‘I’ll just continue wearing this.’ And they never came back because it all looks like the same picture in front of the same door.
