Sounds like a terrible neighbourhood to live in, shots going off from everyone all the time

Yeah at least 15 years, and you ran your image through a special editor after and you could adjust the focus and depth in the app as a postprocessing tool

Alertness and motivation kind of already describe what attention is. So nothing new?

I have two ends of that spectrum:

2010 IOmega arm board network drive, loaded with headless Debian for samba, minidlna, and 256MB RAM.

And 2024 laptop with 32GB RAM and Nvidia RTX card for runing Tumbkeweed for gaming.

Both run very well

I like this story because it shows people have skills outside of their career title.

On a few occasions I have heard university types discount people based solely on their area of study, and it is a flawed logic conclusion.

One was: an old war vet neighbour saw plants growing on our fence line and he cautioned that we should remove them as they were deadly nightshade (we had kids and pets in the yard). A uni type came by and scoffed if he's not a botanist then don't worry about it.

Another one was: A person asking for a lend of an electrical theory paper for their partner to read. The holder of the paper said what does your partner do? They replied electrician. So the paper holder says no, this is way over their heads, they wouldn't understand it. I found that really an odd take, because I have no quantum theory training or gene editing training, but if you give me a science article I can read through and enjoy learning about new techniques or ideas even if I couldn't do the calculations shown or understand how to build a therapy vector.

Yeah the company I have worked for for a long time is growing, this year it has become apparent that some upper dudes have no clue what actually happens and just give direction they dreamed up that they think is how things work. The next level down is like just ignore that, that's not how we get things done.

I get that the upper level is supposed to provide long term stragegy,(and some are brilliant minds) but when executive decisions are getting made when they don't want to hear about the actual detail, there are poor choices made in an arrogant sort of way, and everyone just does an off camera face palm

Probably so they can also force you to cloud game

In Canada the credit unions are not like US profit centers, they are there to serve the members. One local one has CEO salary as 178,000. Extra profits are donated to community programs

Its crazy right. One place I was at was using it as a database.. I'm like Databases exist!! Even if you didn't want another software vendor, you could make use of MS Access.

Some euro cities have taken the plunge also. Mandates of public tax dollars should not fund a private solution, and data sovereignty away from the USA.

The biggest hurdle I see for companies is excel, it is used and mis-used across all industries. Some running entire company production and reporting via macroed excel work books.

All the other apps are easy to find better tools for anyway, but excel has people locked in, making a switch a painful process.

Seems the USA has tried to do the same to Canada, but they underestimated their own reliance on Canada.
USA is also actively threatening sovereignty. Canada needs to find a better partner and China currently looks better than the USA

True, we don't. Just pointing out what I still see, especially prevalent amongst people who have a Christian background in this area.
