Sat Jan 03 04:27:51 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> gabriel_laddel sure, but the gui of "google earth" is a needles contrivance.
Sat Jan 03 04:26:08 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> mircea_popescu: I'm not a visual thinker either - at least, never have been described as such. That said, GUIS are nice in certain circumstances.

Sat Jan 03 04:24:30 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> mircea_popescu: do you depend on opengl, use 2d, directx, proprietary graphics library written in assembler...?

Sat Jan 03 04:19:08 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> mircea_popescu: thanks for explaining. This aside I must admit I'm interested in knowing if you've got the 3D earth populated with all sorts of interesting information.

Sat Jan 03 04:10:16 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> mircea_popescu: please elaborate?
Sat Jan 03 04:09:35 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> gabriel_laddel but that is a wholy distinct matter from working and job discussions.
Sat Jan 03 04:08:22 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> <mircea_popescu> gabriel_laddel i get it i get it, my point was more along the lines of, nobody can really do this for you, as a "consumer" sort of thing. << So you do all your research by hand? Also, do you have a rotating 3D globe on your computer that allows you to highlight/heatmap known uranium deposits, nuclear reactors, oil reserves, population stats etc.?
Sat Jan 03 04:05:35 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> again, r.e., chair warming. Maybe I'm the odd one out here, but I've had the distinct pleasure of interacting with people who I enjoy seeing on somewhat regular basis.
Sat Jan 03 04:01:15 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> sometimes it's nice to interface with people - mostly - no.
Sat Jan 03 04:00:53 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> r.e., chair warming, there is such a thing as interpersonal chemistry.
Sat Jan 03 03:59:41 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> mircea_popescu: also, thanks for upping me. my keys got destroyed in a botched backup and I don't know if I'll be able to recover them. until I sink some time into that task - no L2.
Sat Jan 03 03:58:49 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> gabriel_laddel my point was more along the lines of, unless you actually work in hardware maintenance, you are connecting to your job over the internet anyway.
Sat Jan 03 03:58:07 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> mircea_popescu: programmers who depend on some sort of regionalized unemployment rate can't possibly be all that skilled. << this is true, however if an economy thinks itself of being in dire need of programmers anyone with a brain can fly blind into the country and remain relatively assured of their future prosperity without having to put too much thought into it. This is going to go away at some point in the futur
Sat Jan 03 03:58:07 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> e, but for now...
