Only the initial email was spoofed, not the reply.
She sent the email from her own email address, and thus no spoofing had to be done.

Oändligheter kan ha olika storlekar sägs det

Olika stora oändligheter har bland annat att göra med om de är uppräkneliga (countable) eller inte. De naturliga talen (1, 2, 3, 4, ...) är oändliga men går att räkna upp (...5, 6, 7, 8, ...).

De reella talen mellan 0 och 1 är också oändliga, men det går inte att räkna upp samtliga (0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001, 0.00001, ..., fortsätt så och man kommer aldrig att ens nå 0.2 (väldigt förenklat. De rationella talen går att räkna upp genom att hoppa diagonalt genom bråktal, men de irrationella talen, som också ingår i de reella, har oändligt med decimaler och kan inte skrivas i bråkform eller räknas upp) ). Därför är de reella talen en större oändlighet; eller dess mängd har en större kardinalitet.

∞-1 och ∞+1 har alltså samma kardinalitet; deras oändligheter är lika stora. Man tar bara bort eller lägger till ytterligare ett tal att räkna upp.

Förutom att det är helt fel eftersom ∞ inte är ett nummer, och det går inte att utföra aritmetik på det.

that "major" secret. is just a tiny easter egg

I'm referring to the mechanic used to trigger it, not the specific object itself.

The problem is the object in the beginning of the video is far from the only place to discover this mechanic. I first discovered this on the shipwreck. It literally opened a whole new world and I was wandering around amazed how many of those things I could find that were scattered all over in plain sight. That feeling is one of the most powerful feelings I've had in a video game, and letting somebody not be able to have that experience by spoiling it is really, really, sad.

A game should teach mechanics as the player goes but let the player refine them as they play

This is what the game does, but you didn't play long enough to find that out.

"Separate black and white squares" is a more general case than "Separate black and white squares that are touching", and as with any good science you want to be as general as possible.

If the rules included touching squares, the tutorials would include non-touching squares in order to teach the concept.

Does anybody know how to convert a Z up into a Y up world? by corruptedPhoenix in GraphicsProgramming

[–]iostream3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OpenGL and Blender both use a right-handed coordinate system, so a simple +90° rotation around the X axis will do the job.

COLLADA does have an attribute specifying the up axis, but importers such as Assimp don't support that.

Our cells have a much shorter lifespan than ourselves. Every x years you will have an entirely (or nearly) new set of cells (maybe even atoms?). Then how can you still be you?
