A lot of developers wont use their personal computer to develop on but as a terminal. Its actually bad practice in a lot of peoples opinion you should develop and test on an identical system hw/sw to the system you will deploy on.

That's why you have tugs to move jets around - back in ww2 the Me226 was towed up to its start point on the runway by a Kitenkrad (and in some cases horses) to save fuel and engine life. I think the industry was thinking of having elec

Depends is it better for NAG to do that research or for us to do it? Our funding was to do xxx research and not go off and build a better Fourier transform in this case. Though I do regret that we couldn't get funding to do Vision
