"Which then reminds me of the interesting thing Iceland does: they have a linguistics committee where part of their job is to come up with new words for foreign invented words using Icelandic roots so that their language doesn't just become too overrun with loaned words. For example the Icelandic word for 'computer' is Tölva, a fusion of 'tala' (number) and völva (prophetess)."
I demand we adopt this as a loanword. You kids can have your phones and tablets and apps. Me? I run a Tölva.
I don't even have words for this insanity.
Years ago I tried making a game with RPGMaker. I ran into to many limitations and stopped and the original dev files are long gone, but I stumbled across a package of the last playable version I made. It's fairly entertaining and a lot funnier than I remembered.
If anyone would like to try it out:...
They're going to blatantly steal the election and then we'll probably be in a civil war and I fucking hate this timeline.
Got all my terrain categories figured out for the retro JRPG map generator, now I get to use this quick-'n-dirty little ImGui-driven tool to figure out what the acceptable ranges are for each of the three possible map sizes.
So I have to change a digital servo drive's motor configuration and to do this, I need to enter in an OEM password into the config software to unlock the setting I need to change.
I'm about to call the servo drive company to get the password when I figure, hey, maybe it's out on the internet and I can just use that.
I find the password. The OEM password to unlock all kinds of interesting and dangerous GIANT SERVO MOTOR settings. And that password is, I shit you not:
'1234'
Multithreading 2D wraparound noise generation was a pain in the ass, but it worked.
I'm just going to assume GPU coders are laughing at me, but I still haven't taken the plunge into vulkan, DON'T JUDGE ME.
Believe it or not, this is a noticeable improvement over my first outing with the Walther (wherein I would frequently miss the paper entirely). It is insanely difficult to aim well with it.
Last target of the day, 50 rounds of .32 ACP at 10 yards.
I'm finding the lack of ability to post images (I'm broke, don't judge me!) is really limiting my desire to post here. Here's Imgur as a substitute:
Continuing experiments in procedural noise for map generation for a Dragon-Quest-style retro game thingy, using ImGui as a UI to figure out what the parameters should be and whatnot. The white box is the screen size showing the bounds of what the player would see at any given point.
This is just...
(I didn't write this, but I've certainly lived it.)
Just seen this posted on LinkedIn. 100% Spot On.
"If you don't hear from us in 15 days, consider yourself unsuccessful."
Cowardly. Disrespectful. Indefensible.
And yet somehow it's standard practice across employers and recruiters.
You made them jump through hoops. Three-stage application process. Competency tests. Video interviews. Hours of their time.
Then silence.
Not even a template email. Not even basic courtesy. Nothing.
This isn't about...
Oh look, it's npm again...

After realizing that GLM is under the GPLv3 license and requires any program using it to also release its full source, I have been working on a simple (non-SIMD) replacement for it in my personal C++ toolkit.
As of this morning I have completed all basic functionality for vec1-4 and mat2x3-mat4x4, including all operators and construtors in 29 files and 4634 lines of actual code (not counting comments and blank lines).
What a slog. I did not want to have to write my own GL math library. Now on to++...
