    I'm pretty sure the lead on clouds is the industry leader on cloud rendering. He has some great gdc talks and paper write-ups of his work.

    I am astounded people managed to drive around Japan without gps. The signage is awful here. Even with gps it can be a struggle at times.

    I really feel there would be a market for something like star citizen without all the realism stuff that gets in the way of the gameplay. I'm a backer, and when I can get to playing the game it's fun, but finding my way to the launch pad after every two years break when I'm trying to checkup on progress sucks.

    Awesome, thanks! I'll probably start with the humble bundle then. I've also heard good things about eisenhorn so may give that a go as well.

  • I'd like to try reading some fiction in the 40k universe and was wondering if anyone has some recommendations. There's a lot of books to decide between so I'm a bit lost. There's also the humble book bundle going on right and it looks like it might be a good deal, but I'm not familiar with any of the authors. Any recommendations would be appreciated! Edit: following the advice in the responses, I got the humble bundle and am starting out with spear of the emperor. Thanks for all the advice! Definitely want to give eisenhorn a read sometime if I can find an epub at a good price.

    According to their careers page, they have about 60 employees. And, knowing japanese game dev salaries, a lot of those devs (excluding senior devs) probably make around 30-50k a year depending on seniority unless it's a unicorn company.

    You can enable them in about:config if you search vertical.

    Edit: to be more specific, the setting is 'sidebar.verticalTabs'

    There's an entire political party dedicated to political satire in Japan (the nhk party or the anti nhk party, I forget which one)...

    Good point, in the countryside there's not as much apartment living so it would probably be easier to install a charging station.

    How is Japan going to do that by 2035? Almost nobody has a garage, and there are no charging spaces at the parking spots most people are forced to rent (you need one within 2km of your residence). I haven't heard of any mandate to get charging spots installed at these rental parking areas, and then there's the issue of how electricity would be billed. Electric cars are for the very wealthy right now ( in Japan ).

    I had no clue those were a thing, thanks for letting me know. Does the dock require additional software on windows as well?

    USB docking station should be supported (unless it's one of those external battery ones that plug into the bottom of the laptop). Remoting into work is fine but depends on the setup. For example, openssh with rdp works fine, can't vouch for other solutions but I'm sure you could get them working.

    Edit: I have been informed that displaylink docks require additional software. I didn't even know those were a thing so I don't know how difficult it would be to setup.

    Especially considering the news on poor adoption rates for windows 11, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case. It could also be an explanation as to why we are only seeing these ads added to w11 right now.

    I'm not sure what games do work, but I'm surprised over half of what they've tested are in a good state considering it's running on an emulation layer with immature drivers. Additionally, anti-cheat can't really be helped, that's an issue we've been dealing with on Linux for ages as well. I don't think anyone was really expecting it arm on windows to overtake x86 instantaneously, but from a technical standpoint it's not a bad start. Of course, things could be better, but they could be much worse.

  • First time touching paints in ages, and first time ever doing a miniature. Been having a lot of fun painting the starter kit after work. I'd like to try shading when I finish them all up. I was struggling a lot with the first layer since the paint wouldn't stick, so I got a Tamiya primer for the space Marines. I think I may have over sprayed a bit since there's some paint that was pooling in the pauldrons. I've also had trouble getting to some of the tighter spots on the model, especially the 4 guys on one base (the book is in japanese so I don't know the names). Nevertheless having lots of fun! Looking forward to making a kill team or doing one of the board games since I don't have anyone to play with out here.
