People still sculpt. Go look up Bobby Fingers on YouTube to get an idea of what sculpting looks like.

There are a variety of clays. From what I hear, most sculptors use some form of air-dry, not firing clay like pottery would use.

Nobody ever sculpted in marble. You would sculpt in clay, make a plaster mold, fine-tune the design, then meticulously transfer it to marble.

They are predicting the pixel layout of the user's screen, prerendering the passwords, and then transmitting them as images?!

That's commitment to crisp text rendering!

The article seems to have misunderstood the stats that he provided.

He was showing crashes of a single component of Nvidia drivers while running Warframe. Any crashes within Warframe proper aren't included.

It still demonstrates that a CPU flaw is causing stability issues in areas that are rock-solid for everyone else.

Warhammer or Gears of War?

I can only think of one TPS currently released (another on the way) in the Warhammer series. It's more known for strategy and tactics games.

The lack of pressure leads to absurd file sizes for silly things.

A few weeks ago, I needed a vector company logo, so I asked our graphics team for one. The file they sent me was 6MB. While working with it, I noticed it was actually quite clean, so I exported it as an SVG and it came out to 2KB. 1/3000th the size for the exact same graphic.

I opened their file up in a text editor and found font configs for specific printer models (in a graphic with only filled curves), conditional logic, multiple thumbnails, and other junk.

Windows has OpenRA, which is a modern open-source engine that runs Dune II, C&C, and RA. It also has WIP support for TibSun and RA2, though they can't distribute the content for those as easily.

The blade and tool company.

That's what usually happens with tarrifs. Unless there's a ton of other competition, domestic producers just increase their prices by the same amount.

Banks like to think that branch employees (bank tellers) are sales people. Most of them give 'goals' to each employee requiring them to open a certain number of new accounts, land a certain number of loans, etc each week/month. It isn't ethical since the only people you can really sell on those services are the ones who should least get them. Anyone who actually wants/needs the services will come to you.

Wells Fargo differed from the rest of the industry by setting completely impossible goals, not just unethical ones. This led to them developing a culture where signing people up for services they didn't agree to became commonplace.

I feel the need to point out that a float isn't an integer with a decimal stuck on. A floating point number is called that because the precision on both sides of the decimal point changes depending on the size of the number.

It's actually stored as an exponent and a value to apply the exponent to. This allows you to express incredibly tiny numbers and incredibly large numbers, but the gaps between representable numbers is inconsistent.

You know how 10 / 3 * 3 is often not 10 because the decimal representation loses the repeating .33? In float, you run into the same issue but in much less predictable places.

Check out the demo if you have a chance. The game is a lot of fun and it has some pretty funny demo-exclusive writing.
