    I think before "recompile this to be Linux compatible" we're going to simply have to live with "Do a micro-virtualization kernel wrap around this executable so it THINKS it's on a windows system".

    Yeah, I have long resisted the "maybe I should find a linux distro I like and just gracefully walk away from MS" for literally decades now... But I sense the time is soon approaching. I like the idea of an AI assistant, I even like the idea of having agentic AI which I can task with handling...

    She worked in a variant of that as well... "Looking at this old CT scan this was a simple cyst, then it suddenly turned complex, and one on the other kidney as well? That just doesn't happen." She wants to throw me through some genetic screening for some short list of strange possible causes.

    So today I have the follow up with my urologist over the recent CT scan involving my lovely mass on my left kidney, and going over how they now discovered a mass on my right kidney as well.... And I can add a new one to "things you don't want to hear your Dr say" list.... "I need to refer...

    That's becoming the definite end game for this one. I've just had fish to fry in line ahead of this. One part of the history of this particular wheel is that it had a tiny crack in the wheel at some point which required repair, right now my growing odds on bet is that the repair didn't...

Use the gear you get while leveling, don't spend your gold on the AH on gear you're going to outlevel, save that gold for end game progression.

    Also, if you have certain modern fancy bits... Like in my case a Samsung Galaxy Watch 3... It will help you if you give it your height and weight, then it will use sensors to also measure body fat percentage. From that it can get a pretty accurate take on "This many calories are what you burn...

    The most successful weight loss run I've done in my lifetime was done when I just made a spreadsheet in google sheets and tracked everything I ate with a mind that if I could be at ~1900 calories per day I was at maintenance, and every 500 calories a day under that would result in about 1lb a...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    There is a regional VP of sales I deal with on some calls where he has his bi-weekly status/forecasting calls. And at some point he is usually going to call on individual account managers to give an update on their pipeline, etc. Normal sales stuff. Now, he usually runs long and doesn't have...

    Great googily moogily... Don't we have a section around here somewhere with the epic legends and lore from FOH/Rerolled/Re-Rerolled/etc ? I know I can't do justice to telling the tale of the Megan Fox of Ohio... and her love of gaming consoles.

    That is true about cars now. Although with a Bluetooth ODBII reader I can pull codes and figure out what's wrong most of the time. Now the tools needed for some cars (like it takes a full lift and specialized tools to change the transmission fluid in my Caddy) that pushes it past many folks...

    It's not, IMHO, brain drain. It's that we have been blessed with this tool that puts so much of the knowledge in the whole world into our literal pockets, and being the inherently lazy beings that most humans are, people leverage it to get a thing done fast and out of the way and then forget it...

    This might be purely anecdotal...

    Check for a setting on the TV named something like "motion smoothing" or "Interpolation". You probably turned it off for your old fire stick and the TV reverted to defaults for the new one. I don't know if the fire stick itself would have a setting for it.

    Had a second CT scan follow up on my kidney situation... They discovered another mass, on the OTHER kidney, which the first CT scan didn't catch. So now I have a 25mm+ sized mass on both kidneys, both soaking up enough contrast to make both strong candidates for malignancy. Wondering how...

    Relative to the Uranium talk.... Happy morning for my URNM bag. Chart on the daily.... Yes. that's yellow = sma 20, red = sma 200, and the oranges are the 50 and 100. Like I said, it's had a bad YTD, but it's trying and I respect it's pluckiness ;)

    I figured, I also figure it will all be being done by AI within 5 years. So the AI will crank our the result and the radiologist will sanity check it and sign off.
