If you want to understand how 3D projection works, it's better to solve a few trigonometric equations by hand on a piece of paper, then copy these equations to your Python code.

If you just want to quickly make your own 3D renderer, simply use OpenGL API and the corresponding projection matrix. It will run the same exact formulas inside the driver, just in a 4x4 matrix form, and you can simply experiment with modifying each element of your projection matrix to make your 3D scene rotate the way you want, without bothering to understand the math.

Simply copying some formula from the net will most probably fail.

In the UK it's called a ground table.

Just look at those nested parentheses. A true sign of (pedantic) greatness, when a person needs to clarify something in their earlier clarification.

Considering how the plans for the counterattack were leaked by everyone and their mom last year, this time they did the right thing with secrecy.

It's not the same without two little screws jangling about

Because someone in the dev team had the time to hook up their continuous integration scripts with Play Store publishing API, to the despair and jealosity of dev teams of all other apps.

This is how software should be managed. You make a change to your software, push one extra button, and in one hour all your users receive it.

Non-technical explanation: because they can.

Those abilities from the article are useless for a soldier.

You don't feel much stress shooting the enemy. You feel a lot of stress when the enemy shoots back, especially the artillery. So you get less stress when your artillery has more range, because you don't get shot at.

Using painkillers is just ignoring the problems with your health. If you want to stay in the army for more than a year, go to the doctor and get a proper treatment.

The food is not a problem, we got ten thousand variations of canned meat.

The most pressing problem for soldiers in the field is the lack of hygiene. If you can shower once per month without getting sick, you'll make a better soldier.

It'd also help if you're short and can carry heavy stuff.

So, I imagine actual super-soldiers to be muscly gypsy dwarves who eat a lot and complain when they get health issues.

When you are losing the war you started.

Blame gays.

When your policies fail.

Blame gays.

When your government is less popular than cancer.

Blame gays.

When you are getting mass protests.

Blame Jews. But Jews have nukes, oops. Then blame gays!

YYYY-MM-DD is the only acceptable date format, as commanded by ISO 8601.

This makes it harder for russian military to steal one of Mullvad servers to track your porn usage over VPN - once they unplug it, all links to porn will be gone.

I've unlocked all weapons in Vampire Survivors, and I'm too bored to grind the remaining 14 unlocks.

Please recommend me some proper, $10 up-front games.

I've alrealy played all versions of Space Marshals, Tesla vs Lovecraft, Tesla Force, Jydge, Crimsonland, Grind Infinity, Solomon Keep, PewPew, and Vampire Survivors (although it's not twin stick but close enough).

Are there any new twin stick shooters, preferrably something I can pay for once and without IAP going up to $100?

Is there a way to cast my phone screen to TV using some kind of Tasker plugin? I'm using screen cast to view one specific app on a big TV, but the screen mirroring stops whenever the wifi blinks, and I'd like it to reconnect automatically.
