You gotta use sculpting tools like ZBrush / Substance Painter or 3d Coat to do make models like a low poly mouse.

Fair enough. To be honest, of the abstraction tools out there, Kubernetes is the one I'd hold off on as long as possible. Load balancing proxies, docker compose, auto-scaling, cloud databases, etc. are things I'd do relatively ear

I’m skeptical of the narrative that trades is some great career choice, but "Well if you aren't in one of the good areas you'll get fucked" applies to pretty much every career choice.

Most Indian government bureaucrats won't understand tech. Court judges are even worse; not only will they not understand tech, but as unelected officials they don't even particularly care about the economy, and are accountable to

The Indian judiciary is independent, much to the chagrin of the BJP whenever rulings go against them. A court-ordered block has little if anything to do with the BJP.

Funny, I have the opposite opinion for the same reason as you - I'd rather just use an auto-formatter in a non-whitespace sensitive language and have the option to mark certain sections as needing custom indentation for readability. E.

Java and C++ don't have type inference. It would surprise me if Rust isn't smart enough to infer that the type of the dictionary is "Optional<Integer>" or "Integer | None". I haven't used Rust myself

Agreed. To be clear, I'm not explaining why the OP chose linear types over affine types (I have mixed feelings on choosing one or the other) but rather why one needs either affine or linear types rather than "disposed exactly once

Well so basically the original thinking was that if electromagnetic waves travelled through a medium, then they would have a constant speed relative to this medium. As such, an object moving relative to this medium would measure different s

Point 4 seems more like a cultural thing than a technical limitation, at least for large farms. Why not split the farm into a few pieces and apply different procedures to each piece?

The fact that the nearest cameras happened to malfunction is certainly either an amusing coincidence or cause for suspicion. Given that he likely had blackmailable information on other powerful people (anybody who had visited him on his isl

A lot of what you have listed is more about knowledge of local ecosystems - not "civil engineering, surveying, agriculture, navigation, mathematics, etc.". As to some of the more general science knowledge though, subsequent societ

The conception of the aether was not some kind of substance of the kind that we get with physical solids, gases, and liquids, but more of a medium through which EM waves propagate. That's really what the EM field is. The big difference

Have any examples? My general summary of technological / scientific / engineering history would be that people in past eras who thought they were more advanced than anyone prior were largely correct.

I mean in many ways the aether theory was correct - it just turned out that the aether was a relativistic EM field.

I feel like this is more of a tooling thing? E.g. I want IDE tooling that can infer type adjustments when I'm doing a refactoring.

I think this is entirely down to the mentality of the developer. Feedback that the project will achieve traction and user adoption is motivating for many of us.

There are also options for asymmetric tit for tat escalation that Russia could take. E.g. there are numerous militias in the Middle East that would happily accept high-end Russia weaponry to attack American troops.
