<p>No, you completely had it correct. And sending an AI response to a question is the same semi-rude way to respond.<p>The context here is that the person logging the ticket (or asking the original question by using AI to do it) is the one who is ALSO being a lazy piece of shit, and deserves and equally lazy useless response in the form of a LMGTFY or AI response, because they were too lazy to actually think about their original query and spend time to craft a succinct but useful ticket/query.</p>

<p>> His life and activities are not in line with those of more typical programmers.<p>Okay sure.<p>I'll use myself as another example then. When I was a dev I used to write a lot of code. Now I'm a tech team lead, and I write less code, but review significantly more code than I used to previously.<p>I feel more confident, comfortable, and competent in my coding abilities now than ever before even though I'm coding less.<p>I feel like this is because I am exposed to a lot more code, and not in a passive way (reading legacy code) but an active way (making sure a patch set will correctly implement feature X, without breaking anything existing)<p>I feel like this principal applies to any programmer. Same thing with e.g. writers. Good writers read _a lot_ and it makes them better writers.<p>This is my opinion and not based on any kind of research. So if you disagree, that's fine with me. But so far I haven't seen anything to convince me of the opposite.</p>

<p>Well that was a whole other topic. And luckily it links to a page that explains the whole topic of what a "celestial sphere" is. Going to the page, I see I was indeed wrong about what it was, but now I see it is an abstract sphere, with a radius that can be whatever size you want, and that is centered on the Earth, or on the observer.<p>Once again, not so difficult to figure out even if you have no experience in the specific technical field of a Wikipedia article. So I have no idea what /u/casenmgreen's problem is.</p>

<p>I've never heard of it before, and it makes perfect sense what it is from that intro.<p>On a celestial sphere (planet, star, etc) the declination angle (being 0 is at the equator, being 90 degrees is the north pole of the sphere, being -90 degrees, is at the south pole).<p>You also need another angle known as the "hour angle" to locate a point on the sphere. It doesn't explain what that is, but as can be seen on Wikipedia, you can easily click  on that word to go to the entire page that explains what it is.<p>What don't you understand?</p>

<p>> Game dev at the top tiers is an arms race. Being able to do proprietary things is attractive to big players.<p>Yeah, so I don't see how helping out the big players and not everyone else is a good thing.<p>>Multiple projects have gone closed-source from open source. Assurances are a nice thing to have (but certainly no guarantee).<p>Yeah but the open source ones ARE guaranteed. Even if they later become closed source, the code up till that point will remain open source forever. So it is guaranteed whereas "some assurances" mean nothing.</p>
