A peer of mine (same organization but different scrum team) is a very involved father. He is often taking time off of work to watch his kids and leaving early to take his kids to soccer practice. When somebody brings in some food (like donuts or cake), he'll grab a few extra servings home with ...
We got romance, intrigue, office plots, politics, conspiracies, teenage drama, drugs, international affairs... and talking pets, because the producers want to attract all audiences!
No but really, we have "dumb Portuguese" jokes in the vein of dumb blonde jokes. Haven't heard both in a while (thankfully) but they were quite popular a few decades ago.
What? Actual cosmetics? These beauticians are crazy Obelix pose
@Burgi It's kinda "exotic" here in the southwest as well; in fact, I have never seen the actual fruit and only get the frozen pulp once a year from a distant relative.
I have told this relative if they ever arrive without a pack, they better not even come. I'm only half joking.
Stuff is that good.
Hm I haven't seen @allquixotic in a long while, I hope things are all right with him.
@bertieb My first real life contact with network cabling was back in... 2004?
I remember Win XP was new and my uncle was showing me how revolutionary it was that "you didn't need the driver discs anymore, just shove the WinXP CD and away it goes".
So there was this doctor's (dentist?) office with two rooms: a waiting room and his proper consultation room.
And he wanted networking on both, and a PC for his secretary and one for himself.
My uncle did the cabling and testing, and IIRC I built the PCs, installed the OS and the medical software.
He told me "It'll be fine, network is all cabled and tested, these are the IPs, you set it like this, in this part of the control panel".
And in fact it was quite straight-forward and should have worked. Except it didn't.
And I couldn't, for the life of me, figure what was wrong.
Turns out the doctor didn't like the cabling wall sockets or something
@ThatBrazilianGuy back when I was an engineer one of our customers refused to pay our fee to cable their new office so they got one of their alarm fitters to fit and install the cabling
@Burgi I once, in my brief stint as an employee of a really small tech support business, went to a highish-end clinic to fix a PC on their lobby desk. Besides the PC having super shitty specs (only the receptionist one, the doctor had a high end PC), the phone cabling for ADSL was...
I'm also debating whether to order from kenable vs eBay - ordered face plates from them before in 2010 (feelin' old) and had to return because teeth wouldn't bite; but it seems I disregarded past experience and ordered from them again in 2015...
@djsmiley2k It wasn't exactly a typo but rather my colleague had suggested me moving from mariadb to mysql on the docker-compose file, I changed the config line, wrote it, and forgot about it. Then on the next docker-compose up.... Boom.
@MichaelFrank I had a small scratch on its screen. Then I fololowed wikihow.... Now I have a small scratch and a slightly bigger stain.
Looks like NVIDIA will support limited ray-tracing capability through the DirectX Raytracing API.
Support will extend down to the GTX 1060 6GB (sorry, @JourneymanGeek), as well as to the GTX 1660 and 1660 Ti.
Given the limited FP16 capability of the GTX 1080 Ti, I'm not sure I'd really benefit. I'd rather wait another generation before upgrading my graphics card.
But DXR support is very encouraging as that's the API that AMD intends to use to support ray-tracing. By 2020, however, I want to see a reasonably-priced RTX graphics card that will actually support detailed ray-tracing at up to 1440p without a massive performance penalty.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is among the titles getting DXR support. I'll see how well it turns out on Astaroth but since this is already a heavy game, I'm not sure if I'll still get a usable frame rate with DXR ray-tracing enabled...
