    If it's that cold, wear a scarf over your nose and mouth. That's what they're for. Let the frost build up on the scarf, it's actually insulating a small pocket of warm air. But the temperature required to form those kind of ice crystals in the air is a lot colder than you've ever experienced...

    I don't have a fancy response, just a mundane one. Hi.

    Well it's 8C here right now, 46 F. They're complaining about "Canada" meaning Alberta - where our winter weather does not come from either. Something really funny - they'll close the schools here if there is a snowflake in the forecast. It doesn't even have to fall.

    The other things are just tools, but ugh... Agile. I usually write it as Agile(tm). You know it evolved from "The Manifesto for Agile Software Development." Some places use it correctly, but most use it to call meetings with so many participants everyone is basically wasting the time. I...

    GeForce Now -- it looks like Shadow and other streaming services (cough Stadia) are facing some competition.

    Kind of a good plan right now. These servers need to be pretty close, with high throughput networks in order to be viable. Note I didn't say bandwidth, I said throughput. But ping is a round trip measurement, to the server and back. Playing an MMO, or accessing a corporate database...

    No, you're doing fine. I started using Jira in 2005, and Trello since 2014. We use GIT for most software, but sometimes integrated with Jira. I know how it works. That is not the problem. That is what I said. It wasn't a criticism, it was a desire. It has not changed.

    Welcome home Owl! Hah, it looks like there's a little present from the weatherman coming your way in the morning.

    Don't get me wrong here, for the most part I love what they're doing with SC too. I'm just not happy with ships being put on the roadmap, then removed without comment or explanation. Let me ask you something. If your company has announced something that will be available and even sold some...

    Ok we'll use that analogy for a sec. When you drive following a map you get obstacles etc, but the buildings you pass are fixed in place. If you take a different route, you never pass the buildings that you expected to pass as you reach the new milestones, unless you double back. That takes...

    Anyone use an Azeron keypad?

    :like: sure thing, I'll share it on Test if I can find the time to work it all out. Right now I'm still trying to figure out how "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" turned into "Oh shit, what happened now?"

    Where did the snow go?

    I think I'm jealous. We used to ski around Denver and Aspen a long time ago, when one of my cousins lived there - and powder snow is the best. Course... y'all probably don't necessarily like it so much if you have to drive to work in it.

    Anyone use an Azeron keypad?

    I'm in the market for something like this and the design is interesting. But I'm thinking about building my own, and this hasn't changed my mind. I have a couple of Raspberry PI with all sorts of A/D converters, and a 3d printer... it would be a cool way to fill up a few weekends. If I can...

    I don't want mine... oh I don't have one. Never mind that. What I would like though, is a list of ships that aren't created yet, and an estimate... it can even be soft.... but something that indicates what the current timeline is, rather than just deleting them and hoping we don't notice.

    Where did the snow go?

    Hm, I don't see snow anymore. I'm guessing it's due to internet warming.

    It's the uber Canadian way of spelling Jackal, by combining both the English and French spelling simultaneously.

    Anyone use an Azeron keypad?

    I just looked at that video, and I think it has some options I really like.

    If you're using FireFox, Google Chrome or MS Explorer, office apps etc, you can enable Read Aloud. In Windows applications it's an accessibility feature you just need to enable. For Chrome and FireFox it's an add on... there may be other browsers supported. For FireFox...

    Star Citizen centrism is a lie!

    Wait, what do you mean beer has no relevance?
