    Except for proprietary extensions, I don't think it will be very different of the x86 world where processors can have a different number of cores, HT, MMX, 3dNow!, SSE(1,2,3,4...), AMX... These extensions didn't destroy x86. I don

    I'd doubt it works well for tasks that require concentration. A good period of sleep is important for these.

    I think "p" is better described as a point instead of a vector. So, a better writing could be: "[..]it is possible rotate any point q by an angle theta around the axis define by u [...]"

    Meanwhile, in Brazil: 10.74%. Now, the pandemic first made consumption decrease and it created deflation in the beginning. As people start buying again, and employment still hasn't fully recovered, it is normal for inflation to become

    tldr: Simply explained without demonstrations: Quaternions are hypercomplex numbers of the form w + xi + yj + zk Where w, x, y, and z are real and i^2 = j^2 = k^2 = -1 and ij = k, ji = -k, jk = i, kj = -i, ki = j, ik = -j. Being u = (x, y,

    I use e.os from the e.foundation. Good if you can live google-free. My app store I use is f-droid. It has instructions for reproducible builds of apps and, for each app, it clearly indicates its license and if it has anti-features.
