before it used to be HR, so you always had a party in between "actual" people. HR (mostly) never cared about the CV, they just look at a checklist and see if it matches.

> They state that unlike the rest of the resume, which is largely factual

largely factual? A resume is usually more than a bunch of dates and titles of positions.


More than Russia? I kind of doubt it.

That was my thought as well. Before the war Russia was a a (the?) major source for 7.62 ammunition in the USA.

> The defense industry thought peace would last forever, too.

Not really since they are always pushing for more wars.


JRR Tolkien still makes money from copyright but sadly can't write books anymore. The whole absurdity of copyright law.

Not just a decade

> y changed the name and then immediately started taking military action against other countries

the "department of defense" has been doing military actions against other countries forever.


Good progress but kdenlive still cannot handle HDR videos


It is in the roadmap ;)


I think something planned for this year right?

Amiga happened way before VGA was mainstream.


Amigas reached hobbyists in large numbers way earlier, yeah.


Amiga 1000 was released in mid-1985, although I think few units were shipped before 1986. Amiga 500 was 1987 - same year as VGA, its little brother MCGA, and the Mac II.

Not sure when VGA would have been considered mainstream... 1989 maybe? Mac LC was 1990, so probably before that.

VGA and Mac color were better for most practical things. Square pixels and far fewer resolution/flicker/color tradeoffs.

It was announced on July 26th, 1985 at Lincoln Center with Andy Warhol painting Blondie (Debby Harry) live on-stage (a demo which was re-created at the Computer History Museum this past Summer as part of the Amiga 040th celebration). But you're right it wasn't commonly available until the late Fall. I managed to get mine at the end of November.


"extremely different" is an exaggeration. It's mostly the same with some local differences.


Considering that people expect literally the same thing, I can understand how even small regional differences can seem extreme. Like not finding any beef on the menu in India, or any bacon in the Middle East.
