So when you travel away from the earth at the speed of light you can't see the rotarion of the earth. But when you move back to the earth you are still just as old as the people who were the same age as you when you left?
And I also don't get your comment. Probably because I don't get relativity.
If we send a clock into space it will just tick away seconds (a unit designed by people). When it will return back to earth years later in my mind it just ticked away the same amount of time as it would have on earth.
What am I missing about relativity?
In another thread someone compared Apple with a dictatorship and this is right. Maybe you will feel safe but there is no freedom. And when you don't do as the dictator pleases you are in trouble.
Companies get too big and too powerful. Some say this is the beginning of a new world order, like the industrial revolution changed how the world was ordered.
I am not criticizing anyone because I was just lucky to notice the query could be rewritten. But it was also the fact that I had a little more knowledge about how the db engine handles queries.
So we all looked in the right direction, we all found the bottleneck but the solution was different based on different knowledge.
Maybe in cities the wind is an issue.
A retailer app was very slow. The developers proposed a newer faster server with a newer Oracle version.
Then I took a look at one of the slowest queries. Changed it so it could use the indexes in a better way and the query went from +20 to 0.7 seconds.
The developers measured the query was slow, they checked the query used indexes and they were right that a server with more RAM and a newer Oracle version could improve the speed. But they missed that the query had to fetch a lot of data (using indexes) before it could start filtering the data. The only thing I did was to change the query so it could filter the data first.
Almost like a video stream. Once in a while a keyframe and a stream of changes in between.
For example if I type "this is not the" it suggests the next word might be "case".
I would be very unhappy if my kids would become something to please me but don't like it themselves.

IQ tests should be taken with a grain of salt.
It also depends on what you think is important. Smart people are not always wise people.
And I don't agree with your statement. Blender is a great example for this. Although it is not constraint based it is a full feature package which is very fast. Compare this to 3dsMax which is exactly what you describe.
The problem is not that Blender can't do what 3ds can but it lacks industry standard tooling compatibility.
But still a lot of people in the industry are starting the switch to Blender. So change is coming.
The software gets the job done and is in the industry standards but people are starting to look somewhere else.
Even Mozart and Bach made crap music on a bad day.
I think in our time we are very fortunate to have the ability to discover music so easily. Personally I never listen to mainstream music but there is a lot more to discover.
For example if a Twitter user was logged in with a dongle but the attacker had access via social engeneered remote desktop access a dongle still could mean access to private data.
But yes. As far as I know Google and Facebook require them. Also Google sometimes require permission of an other co-worker to access data.
In the Netherlands they found out by coincidence that some people who have a broken TLR7 gene don't fight the virus so the virus hits them very hard.
So there may be multiple reasons.
It is known that if you think the way to your goal is a smooth ride you can end up in a very big depression when things don't go as planned.
I read about the Kyndi model but could not find any implementation.
He also has some great talks on YouTube about generating city maps with cube marching and wave function collapse.

What I like about his approach is that it looks very natural European instead of American.
Since there is a lot of proof the current virus is airborne it helps to be in the open air or at least have a good ventilation system.
Schools could beat the spreading of the virus with well ventilated classrooms.
And for that matter: the US could beat the virus with good ventilated rooms. Note that dry air from airconditioners helps airosols to keep floating.
Without fress air: wear a mask!
In the meantime the world has changed, and Microsoft has changed. And still people keep referring to eee as if this is still the same Microsoft.
All the big tech companies are now making money with services.
Microsoft made a lot open to Linux. Why? Because they like you to be on Azure.
I really think they are not going to extinct Linux. They are going to hook you on their services and make a lot of money out of it.
Quenching and tempering gives it it's desired strength.
First iterate, then make it look good.
