Probably due to the fact that spherical linear interpolation would be slower and more specialised than linear interpolation; which the entire render pipeline is already constructed to handle. You can draw a perfect, anti-aliased sphere using a single shader program and 1 triangle.

For companies earning under $100000 a year. That's pretty meager for a company employing up to 5 people. Qt is a great environment, but it is still ridiculously expensive for small companies.

Yeah, I've been working on Upwork for about 1.5 years now and it has been such a vast improvement over other freelancing sites - both in terms of the size and scope of the projects and in terms of the types of clients available. Not one of my hourly clients has ever insisted that I use the monitoring app; yet I do it anyway because then I don't underbill and the payments are guaranteed.

In my mind, the screenshot every 10 minutes is no more invasive than sitting next to a colleague in an office and if you want to do something private, simply pause the timer and do it on your own time. Upwork is a pretty great site if you're a freelancer.

The battles are so fierce because the stakes are so low.

Yep, this describes me too. I work on multiple OSs, in multiple languages and I use everything from CLion to WebStorm. The interfaces are consistent on each OS, all the commands are the same, and while not the fastest IDEs in the world, my dev machines are good enough that I can run them comfortably. I think good IDEs make me more productive. I find the whole "you're only a good programmer if you program in ed" line to be really disingenuous.

That's why one should exercise and eat right. There is a strong correlation between regular exercise/healthy body weight and a productive old age. It amazes me how cavalier people are about their bodies.
