Most Adobe tools don’t have any good free alternatives even for home use.

inkscape is on a level with illustrator (maybe even better)

for drawing: try krita

if you want to pay money (much much less than for adobe): Affinity is on a level with fotoshop

is this a jojo reference?

But only temporarily

but is it?

I thought the temporal improvement would be for everyone who already used the high way (because they will get to their destination a little bit faster). And for the few extra people, who start to use the highway but didn’t use it before, the improvment will stay.

When you add a new lane to a road, people think that the traffic will be easier there, so they take that route instead of their normal one

so for these people the new lane will create marginal improvement, right?

5. Careful citation practices will build your credibility as a scientist or scholar.

providing source is good form in every context

why not?

There are many “visual tropes” like this. When I am watching anime with friends, we like to call them out. We even made a bingo at one time for re-occuring tropes.

There’s another one of characters holding a sword with a super exaggerated perspective so the tip is close to camera and the character is farther away

That’s sunrise stance

some others are

• gainax stance
• SHAFT necksnap
• jojo pose

There is also a big list at tvtropes (not all anime though) https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StockPoses

is stateless possible without kubernetes? (and without vendor lock in?)

GP said:

RE: Containers, even if you DO go that route, do you really need Kubernetes, which will come at an additional monetary and also maintenance cost? The likely answer at least initially is a big fat “no”.

I agree, that good cloud engineers can save costs in the cloud. But I also think good non-cloud engineers, can save much much more.

When you are rewriting your entire stack to leverage cloud performance, you could probably spend a similar effort for a rewrite that increases regular performance by a similar factor.

RE: Containers, even if you DO go that route…

I was under the impression, that stateless stuff without containers requires a strong vendor login (aws lambda, google functions, azure function). Are you saying, I could do stateless without vendor-lockin and without containers and without kubernetes? This is news to me. Please point me to some resources

One’s an active decision

There are not so many quality notebooks without any brand-logos on them.

Also wearing a brand-logo when you have the choice not to, is kinda cringe.

what does “get surprised on their own call” mean?

At the ML course at uni they said verbatime that they are plagiarism machines?

Did they not explain how neural networks start generalizing concepts? Or how abstractions emerge during the training?

I think the “Destitute” level should drop the case and replace it with a paperclip (to bridge the power button)

I’m no security expert and the sensible thing to do is using a library instead of taking a class.

Counterpoint: “not knowing your libraries” + “blind trust in the maintainer” will give you stuff like this: https://bitbucket.org/snakeyaml/snakeyaml/issues/561/cve-2022-1471-vulnerability-in

(the thread itself is worth a read. But also very impressive is the list of big players who fell for exactly this mentality)

As usual, the US is already one step ahead: they cut out the middleman by skiping a step.

thanks!

thank god
