Well, we see the world as a 2d projection BUT we (usually) have 2 eyes so we have some amount of 3d-info. Maybe mario has 2 eyes too, which would give him some amount of 2d-info. (Just like an MRI can construct a 2d slice from 1d info). So

Yeah, agree completely. Shouldn't be called police station, more like a spy operations office.

Why not use the right term, then? "Coloquial" shouldn't be a thing with technical terms. Race conditions are hard enough to explain to people and misusing the term just makes it more difficult.

But until very recently transmissions worked on steps and could never keep the engine at peak efficiency. CVTs are fairly recent and people managed to stifle it by adding simulated gears.

I know, it may sound ridiculous but what about charging customers the _actual_ price of the phone? Or, maybe, give a discount contractually bound to staying with the operator for a fixed amount of time instead of locking the phone forever?

Yes but I think the goal is to create repeatable results so that if your application stops working properly you can debug it.

Electron and other web-site-as-desktop-app frameworks are a cancer that needs to be killed. It may have some legitimate uses but developing a communications client is not one of them. Did people forget how to properly program for the deskto

Problem is majority of times unsolicited updates take away perfectly working features, introduce unwanted new ones, or bring in bloat and ads.

If you use a external pallete (one that is not coming from the pi digits themselves) I don't think it's that interesting. With any random set of data you can find a pallete that approximates the desired result
