Most high end sports cars have automatics with two clutchs. The car is always in one gear, and has the next expected gear engaged but with the clutch disengaged. When it's time to switch, it just swaps the clutches.

Not even in your wildest dreams can you switch gears faster than those transmission and certainly not as consistently.

Drag cars tend to blow themselves apart in a couple runs. I suspect building a double clutch tranny that you have to replace every couple of runs is cost prohibitive - or against the rules in pretty much every class other than unlimited top fuel dragster.

Formula 1 and Indy car transmissions are automatics with manual gear selection. They work somewhat like I just described. I'd bet a months pay neither you or anyone you've every known could shift any manual faster than the F1/Indy car shift itself.

I prefer a manual, but pretending I'm faster than high performance fully electronicly controlled dual clutch systems is stupid. You aren't, period.

The claim that previous contributors lost something is entirely, 100% false.

They don't get to freely copy new code added to redis going forward, but the license can not be applied retroactively to previous versions. They are not prevent from doing whatever they want with any version from before the license change.

No one lost anything. No one is steeling your precious commits. They just aren't letting you have new ones.

The problem is you. Not iOS and how it works. You are not unique on this issue.

You want to use an iPhone like an Android phone. It is not an Android device and as long as you continue to try to do it the same way you did on Android, the more frustrated you will be. The exact same thing happens to an iPhone user switching to Android that keeps trying to expect Android to behave like iOS.

Why do you want them to be the same? Why would you switch if its the same? Why can't you understand that it works differently?

If you switch from an ICE car to EV and are expecting an ICE experience you're going to be disappointed and think it's horrible. Same going the other direction from EV to ICE.

People with complaints like yours are so confusing because you don't seem to know what you want. You want an Android device with an iPhone label or something- Do you even know?

So does everyone who releases software have to fulfill every request made by COMPETITORS to avoid being find?

What is the criteria where you switch from being in control of your own destiny and suddenly becoming government controlled.

Apple is NO WHERE NEAR a monopoly, so what makes them different than me?

And still nothing you've said makes unsolicited exposure of your genitals to another person ok.

You're like a rapist practically ... you don't get to determine what's ok for other people. You don't get to expose yourself without consent.

You might argue that we should just not care about genitals and stop indoctrinated our kids to be so obsessed/scared of their bodies, and I'd be onboard with that. No one should be ashamed of their body and it being seem.

Unsolicited dick pics means you, and your community that think it's ok are the ones with an issue. The fact that your relationships start/revolve around the dick should give you a hint at the issues you have.

You are the type of person this law was created for and you don't even recognize that the rest of the public doesn't think it's ok, now your trying to justify it.

You're fucked up dude.

To be fair, most home lock improvements today while maybe a technical improvement still do nothing to improve security.

It's been easier to put a Skelton brick through a window or just kick the door in if your large enough than defeat the lock itself probably since the first home installation.

You do realize SpaceX is only where it is due to the last 60+ years of NASA learning and groundwork that got them to where they are today.

SpaceX didn't invent anything that wasn't already done. They also didn't do it with their own money - NASA paid SpaceX for research and rockets as well.

There is no SpaceX without NASA you ignorant Musk Cultist
