Then let the developers and designers use the switch if they care.
I had been overly self critical most of my life, and that made me unhappy. Additionally, I had a friend tell me that I had "too much ego". I did some research on "how to reduce your ego", and Buddhism appeared on my radar. I explored deeper, and started practicing. It showed me not to get too attached to a lot of the thoughts that I was very attached to. I was also very attached to a particular kind of self worth. I realised that I did have too much ego, not necessarily like the typical form of narcissism, but I was still too "self-centred", except instead of the "self-loving" narcissism, I was the "self-blaming" kind.
With meditation I learned not to pay too much attention to some of the thoughts, which helped calm me down. My complete solution did involve more than meditation, though, I went to therapy as well. Meditation feels more like a kind of "supplement" rather than a cure-all, tbh.
Everyone has their reason to be interested in meditation.
The original Buddha was simply "not satisfied" and wanted to know why. So he discovered the causes and effects and removers of dissatisfaction in itself.
Part of his discovery that dissatisfaction comes from within, from all of the thoughts that poke us, especially when we let them to affect us.
Mindfulness meditation is only part of the puzzle of Buddhism.
There are no "right and deep answers" for questions like this.
Some regrets, but it's fun.
This says otherwise
I wonder if that's uniform...
I expect that you would have more points mapped to the corners.
I want to get a random point in a circle.
What parameters make up a point in a circle?
Radius and angle can be one, so let's randomise those.
This is something that's done a lot in game development.
