I don't know why you're getting downvoted. It is hilarious in a black humor way. For us Europeans that's a giant monster, because it is, while a lot of Americans would consider it a little baby truck because they are so brainwashed.

DocFx could do what you're looking for. You would write your stuff in markdown and it generates an interactive and customizable site.

Oh yeah, I know what you mean! I keep unconsciously reaching for the stick 😂

It definitely gets easier in my experience. A lot of the things that take conscious effort right now are going to become reflexes and automatisms with more experience. Right now you are building that experience, and there isn't really a way to speed it up. You just need to do each action dozens and hundreds of times, until you do it without thinking.

Driving a manual car, for example, is definitely more complex than an automatic one. You literally need to manage one more thing. But do not worry about it, you will change gears a lot during your practice sessions and build a lot of experience quickly. In a few months you will probably not think much about gears, and in a few years you will be managing them without giving it a single thought.

Fun anecdote, I recently got a new car and it is an automatic one while I previously only drove manuals. For a few days I couldn't figure out how to start smoothly, and I was very confused... until I realized that starting mostly involved the clutch on my previous car. The first movements of my right foot used to be to keep the rpm under control while disengaging the clutch, which is just not needed on an automatic car. I was simply applying the same muscle memory to the new car without realizing it!

That is what I remember too.

  1. Bilbo meets Gollum in The Hobbit
  2. Gandalf gets suspicious and sends Aragorn to capture Gollum
  3. Gollum gets captured and imprisoned with the Elves
  4. Gollum escapes
  5. Gollum reappears during The Fellowship of the Ring

It is more of a "For typical cards, expect very competitive options from AMD. If you want top performance, buy Nvidia."

In theory it allows them to focus more on the cards that actually get bought, and thus they could make those cards better products.

It is a hardware failure. Screens are complex and sensitive parts that are exposed to a lot of (ab)use. What is cryptic about that?

we think you'd be best with a bigger team with a better support network

Sounds like they think you're not independent enough for the position. If it is a small team, they might need someone who can immediately start being productive, while they think you will need more coaching to get up to speed.

No need to drag any disabilities into this.

Am I missing something? I thought the outage was caused by CrowdStrike and had nothing to do with Microsoft or Windows?

They say there are 16 screens inside, each with a 16k resolution. Such a screen would have 16x as many pixels as a 4k screen. The GPUs power those as well.

For the number of GPUs it appears to make sense. 150 GPUs for the equivalent of about 256 4k screens means each GPU handles +-2 4k screens. That doesn't sound like a lot, but it could make sense.

The power draw of 28 MW still seems ridiculous to me though. They claim about 45 kW for the GPUs, which leaves 27955 kW for everything else. Even if we assume the screens are stupid and use 1 kw per 4k segment, that only accounts for 256 kW, leaving 27699 kW. Where the fuck does all that energy go?! Am I missing something?

They are very busy charging an arm and a leg for crappy software with shit support.

That's pretty much it, yes! I'm not 100% sure about the German part, because they are are part of Wallonia (which is the southern part) but do have their own language representation so I'm not actually sure which government manages their curriculum.

The German-speaking part isn't shown on the map, probably because it is too small or the map maker got confused with our amazing organization.

There's also the region of Brussels, which is separate of Flanders and Wallonia, and officially bilingual french / dutch. They sort of tried to represent it on the map, but I have no idea what they tried to do there.

It is a clusterfuck, really.
