Is Checking Your Phone When You're on a Date Still Taboo? [Chatroom]

Aug 7, 2012 11:20 PM  

Is Checking Your Phone When You're on a Date Still Taboo?It's long been considered in poor taste to check your texts and emails and assorted other smartphone features while out on a date or socializing in close company. But is it possible that this social taboo is no longer worthy of being considered such a social crime?

At this point, the odds are in your favor that whomever you're out with will have a smartphone, too. And you're probably going to receive a few texts in your time together. Maybe they'll be important, maybe they'll just be your mom saying she loves you (which: important, but not urgent). But perhaps it's okay, finally, to acknowledge the need to check our phones for a second, just to make sure we're not needed. Should we ease up on the stigma at this point? Or is it still just plain rude?

unity3d - Rotate an object to face an opposite direction -

i have object , b. when click on object b, rotates object b (a faces b). b doesn't face a. need following : when faces b, need face opposite direction. have code rotating @ b. how rotate face opposite direction after that? vector3 targetdirection = target - transform.position; float step = speed * time.deltatime; vector3 newdirection = vector3.rotatetowards (turretdome.transform.forward, targetdirection, step, 0.0f); turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (newdirection); you object facing object b, want inverse direction of object after that? objecta.transform.rotation = quaternion.inverse(objecta.transform.rotation) but lets assume example turretdome object a, (negate direction): turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (-newdirection); naturally, both of these snippets not show how smoothen rotation, seem know how use time.deltatime. just incase unsure, quaternion.lerp this

Upload file with tags through OwnCloud or NextCloud API -

i have database of files tagged. now, upload these files owncloud or nextcloud server , pass on existing tags show tags in respective system. wasnt able yet find way how in documentation, have idea how it? thanks! i made available source code of (remote) file tagging micro-service nextcloud on github ( https://github.com/julianthome/taggy ). implementation consists of 2 parts: 1) taggy client uploading files nextcloud server, , invoking taggy server; 2) taggy server adding specified tags uploaded files. i polish code further within next days. planning add ssl support important because username , password transmitted unencrypted taggy server. server uses these credentials in order check whether user can authenticated before tagging files. please let me know if have other ideas, suggestions or feedback ;) kind regards
