what if Terry Davis made HolyC and TempleOS knowing the globalists were taking orders from demons and knew they were gonna build a technological surveillance state and an alternative operating system had to be built or we would all either become coerced slaves or have to revert back before the technological age

For the people who can't sleep. It looks easy, but there's smth in it what makes it hard. Sooner or later you'll fail. Not even generated with my advanced sudoku generator. This one is generated by my sudoku js widget what does a bare minimal of complexity in its generated puzzles. Let me know if you're able to solve it

Engineering is easy, people are hard....

I FINALLY comprehend list comprehensions.
I can write an unlimited amount of nested loops on a single line and make other less experienced people hate me for fun and profit.

Also learned about map() #I hate it#, zip(which is awesome), and the utility of lambdas (they're okay).

Enumerate is pretty nifty too, only thing I lose is setting the initial value of the iterator index.

Congrats @retoor on hitting 10K !!

New idea: Fuck raytracing for global illumination because you just need too many rays for it to converge

What if we do surfels (to keep the number of probes down and relevant to our scene) and we update the 4x4-ish sized hemisphere irradiance maps not by tracing a single ray per frame per surfel. I have a fast as shit compute shader rasterizer... What if I just raster each surfel each frame? Should be around the same number of pixels as the primary visibility so totally feasible....

Each frame just jitter the projection a bit and voila. Should have extremely high quality diffuse global illumination at well below 1 ms. Holy shit this might just work

Okay so my last idea has one big problem: I need to project vertices into a single space which encompasses an entire hemisphere. AND straight lines need to remain straight when projected.

That's not something a typical projection matrix can do. Damn. I'm thinking maybe something like octahedral projection? [1]

But I'm not sure there's an answer. Else I would have to chop up the hemisphere into parts and try rastering each tri for each view. Ugh, that sucks

Making python 2x faster by replacing enums with literal values.

Pros, it's faster, cons, it's unreadable.

God I miss compiled languages. At least optimizing them requires intelligent problem solving.

It's a text parser state machine transition so it's a code hot spot, so this kind of optimization is worthwhile. But it's kinda annoying.

Next is get rid of any semblance of readability and replace the match with an array index...

- I do threat intel.
- Oh yeah? Name 4 critical vulnerabilities.

Cmon connect the dots

" Guy Zaken, Mizrahi’s friend and co-driver of the bulldozer, provided further insight into their experience in Gaza. “We saw very, very, very difficult things,” Zaken told CNN. “Things that are difficult to accept.”

The former soldier has spoken publicly about the psychological trauma endured by Israeli troops in Gaza. In a testimony to the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, in June, Zaken said that on many occasions, soldiers had to “run over terrorists, dead and alive, in the hundreds.”

WILL SOMEBODY THINK OF THE GENOCIDERS

https://jewishpress.com/news/...

Now they want to do concentration camps held by yank mercanaries while they get the rest of gaza.

".

According to the report, GDC plans to establish humanitarian bubbles in Gaza. The IDF will be tasked with “clearing” any such bubble of terrorists and erecting a separation wall within 48 hours to prevent further infiltration".

If you think the "no politics rules" applies to discussing crime against humanity you might be a shitty person.

There really ought to be a special word to describe a non-technical user who keeps finding weird, edge case bugs that we can't reproduce.

Any ideas?

Im trying to fix a sass build in my current project and it’s just hell. I got 65k lines of output and 2 errors. Where those errors are coming from is impossible to find out since the terminal only displays 10k lines. Aaargh i’ve tried everything!

How tf is Canva valued at >40 billion. Boggles my mind. Never heard anyone even using it!!!!

Is it a state sponsored hacking and surveillance project company with a pink tutu on the front and Cthulhu tentacles in the back?

All right you nazis let's play a game.

All my alts have the same password.

Long live the north-west secessionist forces.

@retoor you wanted something IT related.

"During the early stages of the war, the army gave sweeping approval for officers to adopt Lavender’s kill lists, with no requirement to thoroughly check why the machine made those choices or to examine the raw intelligence data on which they were based. One source stated that human personnel often served only as a “rubber stamp” for the machine’s decisions, adding that, normally, they would personally devote only about “20 seconds” to each target before authorizing a bombing — just to make sure the Lavender-marked target is male. This was despite knowing that the system makes what are regarded as “errors” in approximately 10 percent of cases, and is known to occasionally mark individuals who have merely a loose connection to militant groups, or no connection at all."

Where is daddy huh?

!dev

You know what? I've had it with this fucking hopped up country, I've been out the army less than a year and, full disclosure, I knew it was bad but what in the skullfuckery is wrong with the U.K?

Absolute retards everywhere, with some of THE MOST piggish, soul destroying and suicide mongering leaders I have ever met (that's a helluva achievement after 5 years in the army).

The amount of illegal immigrants that don't have a word of English or single thing to give this country, other than paediphilia, rape, knives, debt, and idiocy.

Yet the government is anally raping every single British citizen to give every single immigrant better living conditions than 90% of people who are here legally.

The woke-ism that permeates EVERYTHING is beyond a joke now too. When the hell did basic life become so convoluted, "offensive" and "scary" that primary schools have drag queens coming in to read, sex ed classes that teach shit like sex changes, transitioning, bending to everyone's will, and to be punished for asking questions?

It feels like there's a crushing weight on my chest 24/7 and I can't even speak about it because now free speech can get you demonized , ostracized, and even locked up!

It's okay though, you won't be locked up with any rapists, paedophiles, thieves, or SA's because they're all back on the streets to make space for anyone who dares have a voice.

Every time I talk to people now I feel violent and full of rage. Some of the time it's not even their fault, I'm just being chipped away at. CONSTANTLY.

I'm genuinely scared I'm going to lose my shit and break someone's neck, or my own.

DISCLAIMER: I know other countries have issues waaaay outweighing the UK's, and I'm not minifying them.

ANOTHER DISCLAIMER: as is the way, someone is most likely going to be offended by this post. Scroll the fuck on if that's the case. I'm human too and I need to vent. And this feels like the last safe space I can.

ostream did not delete himself again

Space Age, the expansion for THE game for programmers, Factorio, will be out tomorrow.

Who else will be playing the shit out of it?

Shouting to my chromecast for more than a week because it kept crashing.

Factory reset -> total 1h re-configuring, works perfectly again. One hour was all that was needed.

I know the list with alternatives comes now, but I really see this as the perfect device. Does exactly what I want.

Damn, this experience made me violent as F.

My work with ArangoDB has taught me a very important lesson, which is that the dog says гав гав

Some caffeine fueled morning passion...

Social media platforms getting away with suspensions and all other manner of 'social punishment' has to be the highest level authoritarianism has ever reached in its entire history. Social Media platforms, have it seems, become a side gig for tyrants and the excuses don't cut it with people anymore.
It's hard to believe that "we the people" allow companies to govern over entire populations of people, much larger than some of the most democratic and free countries on the planet with an iron fist.

The enforcement of community standards for breaking arbitrary rules that wouldn't make it to a solicitors desk is extraordinary in the extreme. If it's not a credible threat or illegal, then it's obvious an intention behind the punishment is conditioning.

And this is what authoritarian regimes have done throughout history.

Meanwhile the retarded frenchies are whining against burkinis lmao

The national socialists are the people who whine about how foreigners are the tool of the elite. Populist ultranationalism is what we see coming back.

Idiots who blame foreigners and "communists" and the trans lobby for their oppression instead of attacking the ruling class. Cowards

I hope germany gets bombed with white phosphorus lmao

Why would the lebaneses be the only one to get it? It's simple fairness really

I have this ux intern next to me and like every programmer i’m cursing on my code daily and she made a remark today like: it never works for you does it?

-_-‘ SHUTUP!
