My guess is that it’s probably because holding off keeps it in the media longer. If it’s scarce you’ll get 50 different articles talking about how shelves are empty of X console, and a much bigger problem is if you accidentally overbuild, and you realise the demand isn’t actually there. Though on the other hand, standard marketing would imply that you want as little friction as possible between the customer and buying your product, so I’m not sure.
That’s, like, literally the whole point of these kinds of communities, to share your thoughts and experiences.
Yeah but I’m surprised someone would know this if they’re not from the region, and also why would that make them put it in the same group as e.g. Polish. Plus I feel like it’s as different from Serbo-Croatian as Macedonian is, so why not single them out as well. I mean I know I’m nitpicking and this is just a funny map, but I’m still very intrigued at why someone decided to randomly do that.
Ok I’m very interested in how the person who made the map decided the colours, as in why was Slovenia explicitly singled out from the south Slavic countries?
Yeah you’d draw it on a vertical whiteboard, but in physics and math (or at least all the classes I had), you’d always draw a coordinate system with Z going up. I can understand why it would make sense for you to look at XY being a vertical plane, but I feel like it just makes more sense for XY to be the ground.
Also, convenience wise, especially in e.g. game dev, for 90% of use cases it’s way more convenient for the first two coordinates to be the ground position and the last coordinate be the height. Whenever you’re thinking of the coordinates of something, you’d probably first think about its ground position and then its height, in which case it’s much simpler if those ground coords are at the start, instead of at the beginning and end of a vector.
His point is that’s where it comes from. In most 3D software as seen in the chart, the XY plane is paralel to the screen, just that Y is up instead of down like in 2D, cut that would be insane if it was like that.
Depending on the task it can significantly improve the quality of the output, but it doesn’t help with everything. It’s more useful for stuff that has to be reasoned about in multiple iterations, not something that’s a direct answer.
