@promit_roy I as well basically dislike Cmake. But it’s a reliable, mature choice once you figure out the quirks and features. It’ll live forever. Cmake is the cockroach of build tools. Kitware does have some quite good and up to date video training materials. Not sure if they are public.

@promit_roy Cmake would be our choice.

@DukeEnergy I don’t require individual assistance as I know how to workaround the printing problem, although to do so is annoying. My tweet should be clear about improvements you should make generally to your payment confirmation hard copy print feature.

@gsrhodes Hi Graham, I'm sorry you're having trouble with the website. I'll be happy to help. Please send a direct message with your service address, name of acct holder & last 4 of SSN. Thanks.

I am going to rant a "feature request" for @DukeEnergy online payments. Current print confirmation page effectively useless as personal record of payment. Doesn't even say "Duke Energy." Attached screen shot of print page(s) has requested features+cleanup labeled in red text.

Friends, please consider gifting some $ to Gail, who needs to raise an additional $2600 by TOMORROW, 4/7, to avoid eviction. She needs her GFM value to rise to $4400. And please share the link! Thank you. gofundme.com/f/please-help-…

@tom_forsyth In some military circles they were and (seem) still referred to as “image generators.”

Pretty sure it started as "graphics engine", probably around Quake/Unreal time - I don't remember it being used before that? Was the "Build Engine" called that officially back then? Maybe that was the first?

Why did we start using the word "engine" in the context of "game engine"? Trying to remember the first time I heard/used that term, but my memory is faded with time.

The key to success long term? Show up every time, on time. If you are expected but unprepared... still show up. Running late? Should have planned ahead, but let people know you're late, your fault. My dad taught me that ages ago. Shocking how few people follow through.

Folks, the Delta variant — a highly infectious COVID-19 strain — is spreading rapidly among young people between 12 and 20 years old in the U.K. If you’re young and haven’t gotten your shot yet, it really is time. It’s the best way to protect yourself and those you love.

Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.

@nickkokonas Probably Al Stewart, the musician/singer/songwriter.

Who is the coolest person you ever met? (no criteria given... but not looking for famous necessarily)

@ATTHelp Thanks as well for your prompt replies. Much appreciated! Have a great day!

@gsrhodes Glad you could handle it, Graham. Please DM us if you need anything else, we'll be here for you. ^SteveA sm.att.com/f25b222d

@att want to make you aware that your website 2FA appears broken at the moment. I cannot login to pay my bill...website is in infinite login loop on major browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge).

@ATTHelp I resolved my issue. Computer clock was not sync'd and this broke the 2FA. Time updated and acct paid. It is _good_ that website did not authenticate with inconsistent time. Deters cyber-crime. However, infinite loop is a bug. Better ways to resolve failed authentication.

@gsrhodes Hey Graham, we're here to help. Please share your account info in a DM, so we can look into this together. In the meantime, visit sm.att.com/2b231963 to make a payment without signing in. ^MehraG twitter.com/messages/compo…

@promit_roy Are the Dewalt ones wrapped with a stripe of that cool yellow? I’d go with those.

Basically, the dumber you are, the smarter you think you are and vice versa.

Many people are searching for overcomplicated explanations of how POTUS reacted to COVID-19. It's very simple. He didn't know what to do. So he procrastinated. It took so long he had to save face, and that was when nothingness became the official company policy.

I need everyone to watch this.
