Even using absolute best prackies, developers are gonna find a bunch of stuff to complain about.
Sorry, I'm serious. These are things I have picked up from 18 years in the industry.
Thanks, I'll change it. :)
I'm American. :) USANUMBER1.
Great, thanks, I'll check it out.
Yes. Every single day, almost every person I see driving is looking at their cell phones or holding them at their mouth talking. I mean those odds should be astronomical, but it's more common than not. Imagine adding another dimension of travel to that...
Yeah, it wasn't obvious to me either, I read it somewhere while researching this painting. Great piece tho.
The Salon de Paris was an art expo put on by the French Academy of Arts, and was considered the greatest of the western world for a period of about 140 years, ending in the 1890s. They considered it their duty to uphold the traditions of the art it was built upon.
In 1863, after a staggering amount of rejections that appalled the art community, Napoleon himself stepped in. After viewing the art he decreed that the public be allowed to view the rejected works, and thus the "Salon of the Refused" was born. For the first time, the works of revolutionary style were seen by the public.
These works rejected many of the traditional norms of the past such as:
- A restricted color pallet
- Recognizable Historical or Mythological figures
- All work be done in a studio
- The works should attempt to hide the strokes of the artist to appear as real as possible
Instead, the rejected works
- Used vibrant colors - a biproduct of the Industrial Revolution, not previously available
- Depicted scenes of common people in their normal settings
- They were painted outdoors rather than the style of the time - to sketch outside and paint in the studio
- The strokes were part of the work, and were not attempted to be covered up
Claude Monet was the most prolific creator of this new style of art, later dubbed Impressionism via a harsh critical review. In the Rue Montorgueil all these attributes are recognizable. Notice the vibrant colors, the indistinct people, the feel of being outdoors, the brushstrokes adding an element of excitement to the scene.
Or they'll start injecting ads directly into the media.
Oh wait, they're already doing this. I forgot about the 45 minute Chevy ad in Barbie.
Plus, I used to set my new tab page to Google, but God, it's so bad. There's always some stupid image for some stupid anniversary like Mary F. Dinklehorn becoming the first trans-gay-librarian in Antarctica or something (not that I'm against any of that) I just want to get some work done and not be distracted by Google desperately clinging to power.
But Drive is nice, I like that.
I love Brian Regan, but I haven't heard this bit. What's it from?
This is giving me stress daymares about Spanish in high school.
Still, it's an interesting point you make.
But then again, with definitive articles you have a bunch of things that are not supposed to convey gender conveying gender. Like a toaster... It would suck to have to remember the gender of a toaster, or, well toasters in general.
