It's a possibility. I'm a 53yr old C/UNIX dude and work with a bunch of VMS/COBOL developers. So some weed will get smoked.
Comment office re-modeled during COVID and assigned desks (Score 1) 122
office was re-modeled.
no one has a permanent desk anymore. Its all shared corroborative spaces now. Only enough shared desks for 3/4 of the staff at any one time. Have to book a spot on an app to come in. Then clean out everything at the end of the day so it can be wiped down overnight. They gave us lockers, just like being in high school. Additionally onsite parking has tripled in price. (office is not public transport friendly).
Almost seems like they don't want us to come back.

This should be a Wikipedia topic.
Brilliant. And so correct.

NVIDIA CEO Unveils Volta Graphics, Tegra Roadmap, GRID VCA Virtualized Rendering 57
MojoKid writes "NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang kicked off this year's GPU Technology Conference with his customary opening keynote. The focus of Jen-Hsun's presentation was on unveiling a new GPU core code named 'Volta' that will employ stacked DRAM for over 1TB/s of memory bandwidth, as well as updates to NVIDIA's Tegra roadmap and a new remote rendering appliance called 'GRID VCA.' On the mobile side, Tegra's next generation 'Logan' architecture will feature a Kepler-based GPU and support CUDA 5 and OpenGL 4.3. Logan will offer up to 3X the compute performance of current solutions and be demoed later this year, with full production starting early next year. For big iron, NVIDIA's GRID VCA (Visual Computing Appliance) is a new 4U system based on NVIDIA GRID remote rendering technologies. The GRID hypervisor supports 16 virtual machines (1 per GPU) and each system will feature 8-Core Xeon CPUs, 192GB or 384GB of RAM, and 4 or 8 GRID boards, each with two Kepler-class GPUs, for up to 16 GPUs per system. Jen-Hsun demo'd a MacBook Pro remotely running a number of applications on GRID, like 3D StudioMax and Solidworks, which aren't even available for Mac OS X natively."

Ok, not me, but as a collective. all of us that don't click, and on all other sites, must as a collective to that site. add up to some bandwidth savings.
Anyone that responds with a 'unconscious telepathic imprint' of me seeing response the add can go away.
I already know that stuff is cheaper to buy over seas, and yes i may or may not do that already.
Point is, I know what I need, and I'll google for anything else. Adds don't prompt me, and if they did (which they don't cause of adblock) I'll Google it for an honest opinion.

Exactly, you resend with a poss resend flag on the fix message
