My shirt that says "I didn't have sex with my sofa" has a lot of people asking questions.

In the GIS space, open source is leagues ahead of the alternatives in terms of extensibility, usability, and stability.

ESRI still maintains a pretty large stranglehold on the industry and their software is still the easiest to use in terms of UI and such, but they've totally dropped the ball in terms of scripting and maintaining easy to use developer tools. Opting to keep as much of that internal as possible and make government and companies reliant on their incredibly expensive (and buggy) solutions.

Meanwhile, Geopandas, QGIS, and postgis, even DuckDB spatial are running circles around their development tools. 10x faster, 100x easier to write, and built in a way where the whole tool chain is open and never ducks into a compiled and encrypted binary for licensing checks and black box calculations.

Zimmermans or quad plasma cannons would literally eat though bosses in seconds.

Make a tank and try again. Strap plasma cannons to every part of your body and don't stop firing.

Single player Valve games are just tech demos for modding tools

It's well designed from an engine standpoint. The game is more of a tech demo.

The game "gets better" as you adjust to the tedium. It's a "you must imagine sisyphus happy" simulator.

Yeah, he actually did something unlike most empty suits they put forward. Also worked closely with "enemy states" being on the ISS and all

I knew him as one of the Astronaut twins and had no idea he was a politician. Him and his brother were the ones chosen for the Twins Study which was kinda neat. Scott stayed in space for a year and they had them on the same diet and exercise routine to see what the effects of long term exposure to zero G would be.
