Last year when I was hitting the food bank so I could survive, an obscenely rich friend sent me a text message "I'm heading for a 2 week cruise this Christmas, where are you going?"
Circa 1997 I was making some innovative new games, employed by a dude who'd put millions of his own money into the company. He was completely nonplussed when I brought him 20 CDs in a sealed box to remove from the building and store off site. He thought I'd lost my damned mind and blew it off as ravings of a stressed dev. I pointed out real threats to our IP including the hardware failures and even so far as the building burning down. 2 years of custom art and code gone. "Unlikely. Relax."
After I moved on... an ex co-worker who's still a longtime friend, tells me a different division lost a huge amount of FMV over some whoops-I-destroyed-the-wrong-drive blunder. 20 days to render on an 8 or 10 machine farm. Poof - No backups. In 1997 even with top-of-the-line gear it took an insane investment to render quality 3D.
The friggin' carelessness irks the shit out of me as I type ahah
I'm saying this based on personal experience, having gone through a really bad hygiene phase when I was extremely depressed.
It took me a long time to figure out why the stink was not coming out of my clothes despite repeated washings, vinegar/borax/alcohol/etc treatments, everything I could think of.
I ended up using cheap pet odor enzyme spray. Have since learned there are other more expensive enzymes, but I'm happy with the pet spray cuz it works.
Hyperventilate for about 30 seconds; breathe out until your lungs feel like they're going to implode; Without intaking breath, smoothly chug a 12oz glass of water.
It will "reset" your spasming diaphragm and stop the hiccups.
My sister. The same person who insists "I won't allow chemicals in my home". I asked her if Nitrogen was allowed on her lawn (ya know, from rain) and she exploded.
I saw a commercial in the 70's for Starburst. All of them were the same pattern: Person pops candy into their mouth, next scene is them taking off hang-gliding.
I thought if I ate a Starburst I'd get sent flying off a mountain like the hang gliders. Not in a fun way... eat this candy and you're getting flung to your death off the top of a mountain. (I didn't understand what a hang glider was either)
Problem: Audio is a low power (relatively low data) signal that goes over wire. Audio data (not audio) sent via USB needs decoding into audio before it gets sent down the headphone wire. Implementation fails due to insufficient bandwidth. Graphs and textual details go into details about the bottlenecks.
