Left handed people

The Czech republic has non optical microscopes only because FEI (part of Thermo Fisher Scientific) has its manufacturing plant there.

Since there are basically two manufacturers of election microscopes on earth (the other one being Zeiss) and one of these bad boys will settle you for millions of dollars, this explains how it’s the country’s main exports.

Before being aquire by Thermo Fisher Scientific (in 2014 or 2015, not sure) FEI’s annual gross income was around $1B, so around the figure cited here.

God of war Ragnarok is a AAA game, and I absolutely loved it.

There, not everyone complains about all modern AAA games. Just in case you actually thought EVERYONE dislikes them, you might be in an echo chamber.

I’ll soon be in the market for an EV, and I wish what you’re saying we’re true.

Other brands are more expensive, and their base price can barely compete with a tesla, but their options pricing is ridiculous.

There’s LOTS of teslas where I live because it’s the best bang for your buck right now as far as EV comes.

I dislike Musk as much as anyone else around here, but the companies he fronts have met lots of success, I guess because there are lots of very competent people actually running them (i.e. Gwynne Shotwell for SpaceX)

The factory must grow

I’m very sad they are closing shop, but I understand it.

I find their last DLC awfully expensive, but I think I’ll buy them anyway, as I really loved all their games (bought desperados 3 day 1, same for shadow gambit, and no regrets).

Their games were crafted with love, and it shows. If you haven’t, go and try them on, it’s a fun genre.

I started playing because I had nostalgia for the commandos games, but they really refined the gameplay and made the different difficulty modes so everyone can have fun.

I highly recommend it, its a very good game.

I have a old gaming laptop that is not supported.

Intel i7-7820HK, 4cores 8 threads 2.9Ghz.

Released in 2017.

That’s not old-arse as far as I’m concerned, and I don’t see the need for an upgrade. I’m going to install Linux on this PC because I have the know-how and desire to check out how electron fares. But I can see how that is not an option for everyone.

I don’t think it goes with the vibe of the game, it would disrupt the factory too much

They hint that the drilling awakens something, so I’m guessing different enemy

Regarding “the company made the new tech incompatible with the new tech to force people to buy the new”, I’ll invoke Hanlon’s razor.

I worked for a software company that was bought out by a microscope company, because they realized making a new software from scratch for each microscope was very expensive.

They did not have the know-how to reuse the software.

And yes. They were that bad at software, when they bought us out, colleagues of mine audited the software they were writing for their newest microscope, and it was so bad they threw out the whole thing to start from scratch, with proper software engineering practices.

Also, there is an open source toolkit that is pretty good at reading microscope data called VTK (IIRC it’s developed partly by Zeiss, one of the two main microscope manufacturers).

but it started splitting my commits in chunks

Wait, it can split commits ? I thought you “just” used a LLM to write the messages, but it can also act on the commits ?

How did you achieve this?

I’m really curious to see examples of commit messages.

And more details on how you achieved it, I’d like to give it a go myself, as some of my coworkers commit messages are less than stellar.

Does it write in the conventional commit formalism ?
