>"Food liquid" or drink (a liquid that is specially prepared for human consumption) is a part of the culture of human society and not only a substance which addresses the basic human need to drink.

What a weird sentence!

D contracts are arbitrary code snippets. So they're Turing-complete, therefore it's still uncomputable.

My hypothesis is that some people blindly upvote anything that has the word “React” in it.

Daily reminder for data scientist and machine learning types: fill your pockets while you can, because machine learning bootcamps are on the horizon!

While I welcome the privacy implications of this, I don’t see why recovery wouldn’t be possible if the T2 chip and the SSD is intact?

Just learn the fundamentals in a platform-agnostic way and you’ll be set for life:

- 3D geometry (lines, planes, implicit and parametric surfaces)

- basic splines (Bezier, Hermite, maybe NURBS)

- matrix transformations

- rotation via quaternions

- projective 3D geometry

- shading (diffuse, Phong, etc)

- advanced tricks (shadows, reflections, etc)

Once you nail down these topics, the rest is just learning the specific API quirks (memory model, synchronization, etc), be it OpenGL, Metal, DirectX, Vulkan, or whatever comes next in ten years.

How does this connect to the parent comment??

This. Traditional “luxury” cars are like those Nokia phones they made with gold plates and swarowski “crystals”. Nothing but gimmicks, and a laughable feature set compared to an iPhone.
