For example planted trees can provide shade for seedlings.
This is what I like about the Groasis projects. They create special planters so they can plant trees in deserts. Most of the time they choose very hard trees but with the intention to make it possible for other trees to grow.

Then I got an Android phone and used the account for it. Then I used the calendar app which used the same account.
So it vendor lock-in all the way.
But I already migrated my email to a VPS and will migrate my calendar and contacts as well.
But this is not something everybody knows how to do.
The glass examples also look very promising.
And because you don't need build tools you can deploy it as easily years later.
Also while developing you can just hit F5 or rerun a PHP script in your console compared to waiting for a build.
But is is not very practical.
The time zone communicates the part of the day in any place around the world.
That's why UTC is fine. It is based on the sun time.
Some years ago I did some experiments with 3d printing in 3d (printing wire frames in 3d).
But it takes time to get the feed rates and print speeds right.
Edit: an example of wireframe printing: http://www.creativeapplications.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/...

They should call it rent instead of purchase.
He explains that you can change the pH levels in your body with breathing techniques. And this alters how your nerves are working.

That is a lot of energy, but still at the bottom of the Richter scale. According to Wikipedia: "Microearthquakes, not felt, or felt rarely. Recorded by seismographs.", occurring several million times per year.
Seismographs are just very sensitive.
As far as I know raymarching shines for scenes without real 3d objects. Rays are marched because a function determines if something should be rendered at some point along the way.
But still a useful article with a lot of good info.
I was developing multimedia CD content with software like Director and Authorware[1]. We had a project and when it was released the project was clearly done. Today projects don't finish because continuous integration is a never ending story.
[1] I also miss this kinds of visual programming sometimes. Authorware was very underrated imho.
I also think there is some envy in it. Some people wish they had the same success and only can criticize in envy.
Fact is right now Signal is the only safe option for a messenger that hides your messages and other meta data.
Last month they discovered a bug in Blender that was the cause of very slow hair rendering. The fix dropped render times for some scenes from 4 minutes to 40 seconds.
So it can indeed be useful to check if things can be improved for old movies.
But I am not sure realtime is an option right now. Most movies also use post processing per frame wich also takes some time.
It can even fail while in the middle of a transaction commit.
So transactions won't fix this.
What is going on in this world that some people think this is ok?
I will never update the device again and disconnect it from the internet. So the people who thought it was a good idea gained absolutely nothing.
It is also the reason I keep using Linux.
The effect is more like: What is this for strange art!?
But on a more serious note: I work a lot with this kind of software but the biggest problem is reliable map data.
It doesn't matter how fast your matrix is generated and how good your fleet/order optimization is, when a truck is routed in the wrong direction of a one way street because the map data was not correct, you might as well draw a route on a map yourself.
The 3D printers you are talking about are very simple. Those are Fused Deposition Modeling and StereoLithography printers.
But there are also 3D printers that work like 2D printers. For example Selective Laser Sintering and PolyJet printers. Just like 2D printers they are very hard to make. Those type of printers are also not available as open source choice.
I don't get it.
His response was very insightful. He observed that most problems boiled down to lack of training.
For an untrained cop an arrest can be very stressful. This then can result in using way too much force.
I believe he also mentions this in the Joe Rogan podcast: https://youtu.be/iUhdc1GAddk
Focus on money almost makes everything less fun.
It used to be that people just bought a yellow car because they like it.
But when you do that today some people will say 'but what about the resell value?'. This will make you question your decision.
People are becoming less and less authentic. This sucks.
Just buy a car you like. Having a good time is more important than resell value.
