Bob, you know what you have to do. Remove him from Iron Man, that's petty, useless and perfect.

Because the networks did not respect the production seasons when broadcasting. Production seasons are designedbby show creators to be a cohesive whole, with an order. It makes sense to go back to this when releasing DVDs and not stick with random broadcast seasons.

Yes advertisers are only publicly insulted not sued : “Many of the largest advertisers are the greatest oppressors of your right to free speech.”

I suppose that's meant to inspire confidence they will not be sued, only slightly bullied if they come back.

The Outer Wilds might be the kind of games you're looking for.

And if you are open to a more linear structure there is FPS like bioshock which have amazing world building and have very light RPG elements.

There is also the "walking simulator" genre, with games like firewatch, gone home or SOMA. But it's also quite linear.

They could have just watched Stargate SG1 that did the exact same thing.

It's really stretching the adventure game definition but if you are open to first person games without combat with great stories I would recommend :

  • "the outer wilds" : really nice puzzles, good story, wonderful setting, definitely not linear.
  • "SOMA" : a little dark, engaging story, this was an amazing experience.

I have no experience about what you are trying to achieve, but rdma and related technologies (infiniband, qlogic, sr-iov, ROCE) is not it. These are network technologies that permit high bandwidth/low latency data transfer between hosts. Most of these bypass the IP stack entirely.

Infiniband is a network stack that enable RDMA, it's only vendor is now NVIDIA which acquired mellanox. Qlogic was another vendor, but it got acquired by Intel that tried to market it as Omnipath, but it was spinned off to Cornelis network.

Sr-iov is a way to share an infiniband card to a virtual machine on the same host.

ROCE is an implementation of the rdma software stack over ethernet instead of infiniband.

Relaunched it to replay the demo : "uplink", it really lived up to my memory. A self contained half hour of half life fun, with an original map that show off diverse game mechanics. This was really a great demo back in the day.

The "four twenties" might seems more familiar to americans by replacing "twenties" by "score" as in : " four score and seven years ago...."

He's not even promising that, he's saying he "thinks" he is ahead. And he tells nothing about yields, having the greatest node is useless if you can't deliver volume.

Assuming you meant heat and not hear. Upgrading your cooling should not lower the total heat output of your PC (it's more likely to increase it). The only exception is if you somehow send the heat out of the room, but that would be a crazy complicated setup. Your PC always turn the same amount of electric energy into heat energy and dissipate it in the room. if it's more efficient it will cool down the components more, possibly giving them the opportunity to increase frequency further, which increase the power draw, which is turn into more heat that is dissipated in the room.

I'm confused by this device. The point of the parking disc is that you can't change your arrival hour without being there physically. It seems that it would be easy to make a device like this that automatically reset when the time is up. Are these certified in any way?

Remove the sticker, and remove the leftover glue with an eraser.

The target storage device for the image can be over the network if that's an option for you.

I admit the downvote is weird.

They make the grace arm cpu to pair with hopper GPU instead of AMD epyc and Intel xeon in data center products. They released a first version that replace these processors in their data center offering (formerly dgx). This is the announcement of the next generation of this offering Vera-Rubin will replace Grace-Hopper.

I don't think they have announced anything about bringing this offering to the consumer space.

English weirdly use feminine for ships, so think of it like that. But no it doesn't achieve much.

I don't think it change the way we think about objects much, but probably unconsciously yes. For example, France itself is feminine and seeing some caricature personifying as a dude always feels weird.

Usage dictates the gender. And some recent words are more or less controversial: gameboy, wifi, COVID, Nutella...

When I think about the gender of a word I will usually derive it from a broader category. But that's not always obvious, for example Gameboy is a game console (feminine) but the words game and boy are masculine. COVID is a disease (feminine) but also a virus (masculine). And in the meme a washing machine is a machine (feminine).

You can't not use gender since french doesn't have neutral pronouns. But I don't think it's frowned upon for a non native speaker to make this kind of mistakes.

Well you have to take the price of the system you run the game on into account. If you spent hundreds of dollars to buy a game and a console (pc gaming is even worse), you need a lot of content to reach parity with something like a cinema ticket or a Netflix subscription.

This hobby is expensive, particularly because it's main demographics is children or cash strapped young adults. Maybe it's good value if you spend hundreds of hours on a few games, maybe take-two is feeling that it doesn't get its fair share from these hundreds of dollars, but they should not be deluded into thinking it's cheap for the customer.
