I'm having some basic problems with bevels. Or rather with resetting the scale of my object.  To recreate my problem.    Create  abox scale it in x:10, and z 0.1 ctrl+A choose apply scale to deltas select long edge on the mesh and ctrl+b to bevel. Bevel is not even.   What am I doing wrong?
I'll preface this by saying I'm very new to Blender - I'm trying to put a bevel on an edge, looks something like this:    As you can see, the vertical side is much longer than the horizontal side.  When I apply to bevel to the edge there, the bevel stretches proportionally - so there's 'more' bevel on the longer side.  I want to bevel without any 'ratio' like that - just a 45-degree bevel, if that makes any sense.  Do I have to put in a loop cut to make the side lengths equal?  I tried using a sub-surf modifier, but it applies on a bunch of nearby edges, when I just want to round this one corner.
Looking for a short story about an artist and a forger Back in the late 1970s to early 1980s, I read a short story about an artist and a forger.  Between the two of them, they managed to start a revolution that brought down a corrupt dictatorship.  It was science fiction:   The dictatorship was interplanetary, maybe interstellar.   The artist used some kind of advanced technology to make his art works.   Plot:  The artist is one of the best (if not the best) at what he does.  The dictator wants the artist to make what amounts to a family portrait in whatever medium it is he works in.  Think of it like painting - you create the image manually (not a photograph) but it is much more than just a flat image.    The artist doesn't like the dictator - maybe on general principles, maybe because he knows the dictator personally - and refuses to make the "portrait."  The dictator has the artist arrested, and will only let the artist free again if he makes the portrait.  The artists makes the portrait.  He does the work while in the prison or jail.  That's where the forger comes into things. The forger is also in jail for something or other.  The forger makes copies of art works.  He of course recognizes the artist, and knows what the artist works with.  The forger can somehow see what the artist is working on.  The artist finishes the portrait.  At first the dictator is thrilled.  It looks exactly the way he wanted it.  As time goes by, though, the people looking at the picture see that it represents the vileness and corruption of the dictator.  The more you look at it, the more of the evilness of the dictator you see in it.  That is the genius of the artist, and whatever medium he is using.  Once you notice the hidden levels of the portrait, you can't unsee them and you see more and more of it as you look.  I think the effect carries over into reality as well.  Once you've seen the dictator's corruption in the portrait you also begin to see it in the dictator and his works as well.  This of course seriously pisses off the dictator, who has the artist killed and the portrait destroyed.  While in prison, the forger watched as the artist created his masterpiece, and recognized it for the subversive thing it is.  He also recognized it as the ultimate rebellion from the artist - the artist knows what will be seen, and that he will be killed for it.  All of that inspires the forger to do something more meaningful with his life than make forgeries for the money.  The forger is released from prison.  He saw the completed portrait, and knows how it was made.  He begins making forgeries of the portrait - like, hundreds if not thousands of them.  These are distrubuted throughout the nation/empire.  The people realize what evil is controlling them once they see it in the copies of the portrait, and eventually a revolution rises and brings down the dictatorship.  It was probably older than the 1970s.  I expect earlier than 1960.  Any ideas? CDN: How is it possible that my DNS delivers a different IP depending on the visitors location? I found  how a CDN works. But there is one thing I don't really understand. Let's assume I setup multiple DNS servers at my location and they use the nameserver domains dns1.example.com, dns2.example.com and dns3.example.com. This DNS servers are able to deliver a server IP depending on the visitors location (ping, geo database, browser language or whatever). Now I update this nameserver settings for my domain www.example.org at the registry.  Now, the very first request on www.example.org with an expired TTL tries to resolve the domain. It asks:   the local .hosts/DNS, if TTL expired: the internet providers DNS, if TTL expired: the root DNS, if TTL expired: my local dns1.example.com   But if I understand it correct, the new IP is then added to all these nameserver caches until the TTL expires again. So how is it possible to send other IPs to the visitor depending on his location?  In  theandym said the request is "forwarded", but I don't think this is how a CDN works, because "forwarding" means lengthen the transmission way resulting a longer loading time. Or does a CDN require zero TTL for the domain?  Update1 Through  I found  describing how they optimized CDN performance. It did not explain how the CDN works in general, but there were interesting explanations like the following:     Thereafter, whenever a client attempts to fetch content hosted on the   CDN, the client is redirected to the node determined to have the least   latency to its prefix. This redirection however is based on the prefix   corresponding to the IP address of the DNS nameserver that resolves   the URL of the content on the client’s behalf, which is typically   co-located with the client.   This means Google checks at first the latency of all IP prefixes and defines a DNS resolution table (?) for all available prefixes. And if a visitor has the IP 198.51.100.231 the Google server IP is used, that is set for the prefix 198.51.100.0. But again: How does Google's DNS know which IP the visitor is using? Most visitors resolve Google's domain through their internet provider and by that the resolving is done through those external DNS servers or not?  As an additional example: If I start a DNS resolution for the domain facebook.com with different online tools (hosted in different countries) it is resolved to different IPs with different domains like:   31.13.92.36 Reverse: edge-star-mini-shv-01-frt3.facebook.com 31.13.76.68 Reverse: edge-star-mini-shv-01-sea1.facebook.com 31.13.69.228 Reverse: edge-star-mini-shv-01-iad3.facebook.com 157.240.2.35 Reverse: edge-star-mini-shv-01-ort2.facebook.com   After that I thought it could depend on the DNS server location used by the visitor, but I tried my own (Deutsche Telekom, Germany), Google's (8.8.8.8) and a major one from France (Orange) and they all returned for facebook.com the IP 31.13.92.36.

If I have random variables $X_1,X_2,\ldots,X_n$ that are Poisson distributed with parameters $\lambda_1, \lambda_2,\ldots, \lambda_n$, what is the distribution of $Y=\left\lfloor\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}\right\rfloor$ (i.e. the integer floor of the average)?  A sum of Poissons is also Poisson, but I am not confident enough in statistics to determine if it is the same for the case above. How would you represent "religion" in an icon, neutrally? Are mirror lenses good for wildlife photography in daylight? I've recently seen these Rokinon/Opteka mirror lens with whooping focal length (like 500mm, 600mm, 800mm, 1000mm) at a cheap price. And I have seen some of their same pictures in Flickr and vendor sites. But the only thing is that they usually starts from smaller aperture (f/5.6 and upwards)   Now what I was wondering, as they are cheap with quite good IQ - are they good for any bird photography or wild life photography in proper daylight?

Label PGFPlot table points with coordinates I would like to label each plotted point with its x and y coordinate. I am able to label with a single one using the MWE below.

How are "needs to be washed," "needs washing," and the regional variant "needs washed" to be distinguished"? I'm from Central Pennsylvania, and apparently, we have a strange language construct in this area. I was recently talking about how "my car needs washed" to a friend from NJ, and she told me that my sentence was grammatically incorrect.   I realize she's right, and I realize my options are "my car needs to be washed" or "my car needs washing". But I'm not clear on the precise rule being invoked. How can I make sure that my on-screen colors are consistent? I designed a mockup on my LG monitor. When I view the same design on another monitor that I own, the colors seem drastically different.
