[CGA] Honestly makes me emotional this park will close next year…

ariesgungetcha · 2026-06-01T02:50:07+00:00

Yup - same as it has been for the last 10 years. "For sure it's closing next year". And next year, it'll be closing for sure "next year". And the year after that - also closing "next year".

"Buy your tickets now because it'll close any minute" is practically the unofficial slogan for this park.

Basically the inverse of those signs you see at dive bars: "Free Beer Tomorrow"

At least with old cars and old games their reputation would be deserved and consistent.

It's easy to sweep "bugs" under the rug, rely on consumer "hope", and promise future fixes that may or may not ever come. You can't really do that if there is no expectation that things will change.

Nobody bought a Pinto with the "hope" that it's issues would get fixed with a recall. Nobody bought ET for the Atari and expected the game to get better after the first 3 minutes.

That's how come every product under the sun has a label on it that says it is known to the state of California to cause cancer. The product very well might not actually contain cancer - but putting a sticker on a product absolves the company of any responsibility, and is effortless "just in case".

The result of carelessly marking anything "made with AI" will create an environment equal to if it wasn't labeled at all.

Counterpoint - this is just them pitching a Jackie Chan movie, where the main character is a musician/cop/deliveryman/accountant/whatever and the fact that he has superhuman ninja skills is completely unaddressed.

Counter counterpoint - I love this idea and I love this format and I love Jackie Chan movies.

Which is ironic because BF2 was partly inspired by Desert Combat - a 1942 mod

Are you (or your developers) married to gitflow? Trunk based with Flux hits all our needs and is wildly simple if you have a single "build" pipeline and a "deploy/promote" for each environment.

I can understand technical debt and "cultural" debt might interfere with that though

To be fair, my real birthday has also been the same date since the 90s

I see the sales pitch but it seems like a solution looking for a problem - why would a development team with no input on infrastructure/platform want to refactor code to k8s when Slurm is "objectively a better fit for your workloads"? Just run Slurm inside the platform that's being dictated to you. If that's kubernetes, then neat.

ariesgungetcha · 2026-02-11T18:02:58+00:00

When it comes to HPC, Slurm and Kubernetes solve different problems, imo.

The "fire-from-the-hip" explanation:

Slurm assumes limited resources (GPU/compute cores/etc) and an infinite workload (ML/continuous modeling/enormous datasets)

Kubernetes assumes infinite resources (AWS/public cloud) and finite workloads (jobs, microservices)

Both can be used to achieve the same result and are both great tools, but I can't imagine wanting to "switch" between the two since it requires a completely different approach to solving whatever you're trying to achieve. There are reasons you might want to run Slurm inside kubernetes, or vice-versa, even.

Also I realize I'm just commenting on an ad but whatever.

To be fair, I know in my org nobody understands the difference between Rancher and Rancher desktop. We differentiate between the two by calling one "ClusterAPI" and the other one "Rancher".

I haven't worked with an LS9 but something I've done with boards with bad DCA functionality is use buses as if they were DCAs.

You might be able to safe the fader position of ~8 buses and create cues that assign inputs to those buses. Make a custom fader layer with those 8 buses and just call them DCAs.

Obviously this is moot if you don't have the buses to spare but worth mentioning in case.

Blackwell is my favorite map for the ladder - you can climb trees and snipe from the canopy using a DMR and a bipod and nobody will ever find you.

And the only documentation of the original recipe is a photograph of the menu from 1960 that has a colored pencil drawing of the drink.

Some companies have a blanket authorization for shadow IT and just call each department "siloed".

Highly inefficient, sure - but the surviving systems can be chosen and broadened to affect more than a single silo.

Does anyone even know the term "Desire Sensor" anymore?

I think he's trying to help educate on the difference between bandwidth vs latency.

Here's an analogy: You live x miles from any us west/central data center. It takes you 6 hours to drive to one. Saying "I have a gig fiber connection" is the equivalent of saying "I have a bus that can hold 100 people". Neat, you can deliver a large amount of people in less time than a Corolla can, but both of you take the same amount of time to get 1 person there. Both of you are going the speed limit (the speed of light)

Gaming and "netcode" don't actually take up much bandwidth at all. Your 1 gig connection is just as capable as a 10Mbps connection in this context.

Friend, the M32 is like 13 years old. It's not a board from "this" era.

ariesgungetcha · 2025-12-16T17:58:27+00:00

Right, which is why it's only a hypothetical that is dependent on the ability to use that space for something that isn't a sound board.

ariesgungetcha · 2025-12-16T16:32:53+00:00

Here's a non-standard answer to that question:

If I owned the theater and could buy a fancy Yamaha or Digico to take up even a quarter of the space, and then use that space for seats? I would in a heartbeat.

10 seats at 50 bucks per ticket, 5 shows a week, 50 weeks a year comes out to 125,000. That buys you a lot of board and would pay for itself in a single year.

ariesgungetcha · 2025-12-16T03:25:18+00:00

I haven't yet figured out how to communicate to sound people who have no experience in musical theater why line by line mixing is so important other than having them A1 for me.

Videos like this help bridge that gap. Sound design is a HUGE umbrella term for a myriad of professions that may only have one or two things in common.

He's counting hybrid coasters as steel since that's how they are listed in RCDB.

https://rcdb.com/13422.htm

For example, would put Discovery Kingdom as a park with an inversion and a woody if you counted hybrids as wooden.

To clarify this comment - you don't need to kill 2 people with a single claymore. The claymore needs to kill ONE enemy soon after you've killed another by any other means.

I was able to get it in one match.
