  • It can be both. The three RAM manufactures (Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix) have a historical record of price fixing and collusion (I believe Gamers Nexus has some excellent reporting on this). It isn’t just supply and demand, it’s that three sketchy companies have the world over a barrel and may well be using the demand spike to keep prices (artificially) high with the knowledge that nobody else can enter the market and that it takes YEARS and a truly ridiculous amount of money to scale up production to increase supply.

    This. A scrum master’s job should be first and foremost making sure that the dev team has what it needs to get real actual work done. Ideally, the scrum master should be face tanking status/ update meeting, coordinating with outside entities, and ensuring that as few distractions make it to the team as possible.


  • ASL can count as high as you need to, it gets kind of tedious after about a 999, because of all the place markers that need to be added in (like manual counting, or spelling out a number on a check), but one can sign up to 999 with a single hand. for numbers up to 99, it’s more or less using the chart above. For everything after that you mark the hundreds place with the letter C and then go on the rest of the number (476, would be signed 4 C 76). Beyond that, it’s just a matter of adding on the place value signs for “THOUSAND”, “MILLION”, etc. (which are two handed signs) so, 456,789 would be signed as 4 C THOUSAND 56 7 C 89.

    The exception to this would be strings of numbers, like phone or room numbers, where you sign them much like how they’d be spoken. So when directing someone to room 235, you’d just sign 2 35 (the concept of hundreds isn’t really important here, because in most cases, the leading 2 just means the room is on the second floor).

    Edit: ASL is very visual so here’s a link (with the caveat that there’s variations in signs between signers/ regions, so online stuff may be different than what folks in your area are using)



  • Nice! Kurzgesagt teaches history instead of theoretical physics (and existential dread) was absolutely not on my bingo card for the day, but I will absolutely take it! Kind of digging the water color vibe compared to their usual vector animation.

    Speaking of Zheng Yi Sao, the band Bastille devoted a track to her on their Ampersand album last year and I’d highly recommend it (mostly because I’d highly recommend Bastille in general, and couldn’t pass up an opportunity to plug them).
