I was pleasantly taken by surprise when I got around to playing Angels With Scaly Wings. The title and the trailer had given me a very incorrect idea of what the game was going to be like. Once past the somewhat contrived set up, it ended up being a very well paced sci fi story that keeps throwing curve balls at you loop after loop.
The DLC has a couple of game design choices that I've felt detracted from the experience, and put it a notch below the main game. I'm still glad I played it, because the core Outer Wilds vibe is still there, and finishing the main game again after wrapping up the DLC had a worthwhile emotional payoff.
In the first half of the 2010s, there was a study from Gartner or another such company, that forecast that the cloud service market would amount to 1 trillion USD/year by 2030 or so, and since then the big players have been racing to try and carve as much as possible of the future juicy pie from Amazon's hands.
Google completely missed the boat at first then pivoted hard. MS leveraged its deep enterprise presence as hard as it could to get existing customers into its cloud offering; that's why your MS consumer products (Office, OneDrive, etc) are tied at the hip with cloud these days. Not for consumers, for the business market.
It's business to business, however, so the generak public doesn't hear about it a lot. It's also largely non-sexy, and therefore not headline-worthy, with a few exceptions. The whole AI thing, for instance. But even there, consumers are not the target market. Cloud customers are.
In that sense Google, MS and Amazon absolutely already are the new IBM and Oracle.
Meanwhile, as far as I can tell, Meta is still trying to execute on its mission to connect people while still headed by people who have no idea how people connect. Apple is Apple, keeps just making oodles of money off the kind of people who buy Apple products.
I had the same problem on my first try! I'd been trying to do everything and talk to everyone about everything and just drowned in words.
On my second try, though, I took a different approach: what if I am this guy, just want to get the job done, and only do stuff for the purpose of trying to progress the case? That worked great for me, and the game is structured so this still takes you through much of its contents -- only, now, there is a purpose to it.
So, thanks, friend! I am indeed now enjoying this game, and I hope you are enjoying whatever you are playing also.
Hey, sorry to hear it's been rough. Hope you'll get better soon! For now, no need to rush into a game you're not ready to play. Think of it as a treat to look forward to when you feel better. :)
It's difficult to answer without a better understanding on your customers' workloads and how those trigger your outages. There's a bunch of valid angles from which to look at this.
If your product consistently buckles under customer workloads that they paid to be able to run, it sounds like you have either an underprovisioning or an overcommitment problem.
If you accept customer workload spikes that you don't have the resources to serve but would be able to process if they were more spread over time, it sounds like you have an admission control problem.
If it's a matter of adding resources to respond to customer activity spikes and you just have to do it manually, it sounds like you have an automation problem.
If your pager load is becoming such that you can't do project work to address whichever ones of the above are relevant to you, it's time to hand the pager back to devs. If you don't have the institutional authority to hand back the pager to devs, it sounds like you have a management problem.
The French have started using new typographic conventions to turn nouns and adjectives neutral, or at least dual-gendered. French is a deeply gendered language by default, so for instance the word for author is "auteur" if the author is male and "autrice" if the author is female. If unknown, then... The author is assumed male.
This is of course not great, and so the French people have started using constructions like "auteur.ice" or somesuch in order to include both options in the word. This approach appears to have become reasonably popular.
The French right wing is EXTREMELY upset about this and is seeking to get it outright banned (they may already have succeeded actually).
As far as I understand this museum is the brainchild of the fascist party RN and is entirely about the French language as the right wing thinks it should be spoken, as opposed to how it actually is. So, just yet another instance of taxpayer-funded reactionary crap.
If you're using UEFI there is nothing to reinstall. The installed bootloaders are still there in the UEFI partition, Windows just changed which one is set as the default. There are tools you can use, such as EasyUEFI (if I remember correctly), to revert the default to Grub or refind or systemd-boot, whichever you're using.
