  • My uncle was a highly paid banker, and ran off to Australia to build his own farm. So it doesn't seem weird to me.

    However I'm a little surprised by your old wages. $83k in IT at 53 seems low, and before that you were even at $42k? I thought US American IT paid really well. Or is that specific to California only or to developers only?

  • Skyrim is huge. I played it last year, going to all locations and doing main and side quests. That takes 100 hours or so.

    Now I'm playing Elden Ring with SOTE, doing the same thing. I'm around 180h in and honestly I kind of want to finish by now.

    So yeah, I don't see 600 hours of playtime as a positive goal. Unless they mean expand the map but don't keep up the content ratio. In that case, why the fuck would that be good? More travelling isn't worth anything.

  • I recently thought I had to use it, dug up a 15 year old account, because some hardware utility for a mobile Brother printer was only available from the store. After installing the tool it turns out it didn't even have the function I needed (firmware update of the printer).

    That was annoying. And merely having the account signed in also prevented our IT support department from copying my user folder over to the new laptop properly, so we had to do it twice.

    Now I'm happily back to not having apple id signed in. (Well... as happy as I can be while still having to use macOS)

  • When I segmented 3D MRI and CT scan images before I used the contrast borders for help a lot. There were some algorithms for finding edges that you could tune by setting search radiuses and thresholds. There was also an option of growing an area by a certain amount of pixels outward, and then threshholding the result back down to only the brighter parts, that kind of thing. You had to be a little clever about how you'd combine it. And ultimately, sometimes I just had to add and subtract a few points manually.

    Segmenting is more assigning areas to distinct objects (separating bones from the rest in my case), but you could totally use it as a basis for coloring, so I assume the process is similar here.

  • compatible with macOS via game porting tools and wine

    How is moltenVK going by the way, assuming you follow that? I originally thought macOS gaming was dead when they ditched OpenGL and declined to support Vulkan, but maybe with layers of shims peoples still make it work.

  • He specifically didn't say that. Instead of criticizing that they aren't nuanced enough you should read the nuance they actually wrote:

    Let me be clear: The odds of a massive, immediate shift away from Windows PCs aren’t great. This isn’t a “year of the Linux desktop” rallying cry. But if there is a Linux desktop that exists today, it’s the Steam Deck. And that makes SteamOS a bellwether for greater proliferation of non-Windows devices (if not necessarily “Linux” specifically) in a huge range of form factors.

  • lol, one of our suppliers just changed to them 1.5 years ago.

    Someone managed to fuck the portal software up so much that all the ö you type in a support case get replaced by o, both in the webview and the emails. The ä and ü work fine. It's extra fucked.

    And our support team sits in Germany, we write in German sometimes. When we use English it is only for the benefit of their Tier 3 guys.

    Plus the implementation of two factor sign in is now delayed by half a year already. It seems to me more developers could be helpful
