On 196, there’s a rule to post before you leave (see the sidebar/community description depending on which UI you’re using). “rule” means they couldn’t think of a good title; i.e. they’re just following the “post something” rule. It’s popular to come up with something punny though involving “rule” if you can.

Personally, I think it’s particularly stupid that you can’t use it for GLSL shaders from external files…

Microsoft had a Visual Basic variant (VBScript) in IE that got some attention back in the 90s; it’s probably just as well that JS won instead of that…

In modern webdev type="module" is used to indicate an ES6 module and type="importmap" to include a JSON table of paths to modules. Still basically JS, but the parameter is still used in a meaningful way.

while ( const std::optional event = window.pollEvent() )

Try passing -std=c++23 to g++ – that code doesn’t look like valid C++ from when I was regularly programming in C++, but the standards committee has fucked around with the language a lot in the last few years and I suspect this is something from one of the very recent standards.

OK. I think I see what you’re getting at. If you can figure out how to get it to the point of an outline, there are triangulation libraries that can fill in the mesh for you (I think I’ve mentioned one to you before a long time ago) if you want flat end caps on the extrusion. I’m not sure off the top of my head how you’d get to an outline from that star example though – a few ideas come to mind, but they’re very much half-baked ideas… :p

Best of luck!

Edit: the triangulation library I was thinking of: https://github.com/mapbox/earcut

I’m not sure I quite get it, but if I’m following correctly, you’re using the numbers to indicate a sequence of vertices for a triangle fan here (with @ indicating the central vertex), right? If so, the vertices are used in more than one triangle; (0, 1, 2) and (0, 2, 3) are triangles that reuse vertex 0 (@) and vertex 2.

If that’s what’s going on then it should be fairly straightforward to turn shapes defined like this into extrusions; for the simplest case you duplicate and offset the triangle fan for the other end and then generate quads/pairs of triangles for the extruded faces of the prism – and for more complicated cases you can repeat that (with planar alignment if needed) following a curve in small increments.

I might not be following though since I don’t know what you mean by color index face hints.

fan vs strip

Why not just work with a collection of triangles directly? It uses more memory, yes, but it’s simpler to reason about and can also have parallelism benefits (since each triangle is independent).

It can still be useful to track shared vertices (and reference them by index) though.

Well, I’ve seen Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero and a few of the other spin offs but I’ve kind of lost track of the Fate/Word Salad series at this point… 🙃️

For you, maybe, but for me it’s my desktop’s clock – with my microwave as the fallback (e.g. when I’m playing a fullscreen game).

I basically only check the time on my phone if I’m out and about (which is… rare) or when I’m getting up/going to bed – which also serves as a check for messages (since I have my phone on Do Not Disturb 24/7).

I actually bought a physical wall clock earlier this year thinking that I could stick it somewhere more convenient to read than the microwave, but the ticking was too damned annoying.

I’ve been reading a fair bit of old, out of copyright fiction over the last couple years. I recently finished Carry On, Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse which was amusing. You can find a copy here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/65974

Honestly not sure. I wouldn’t be surprised if it breaks something with D-Bus based on skimming the man pages, but I’ve never dug into it. Its not exposed in containers I run though, and I haven’t run into anything that broke there as a result… 🤷️

Well, there is /etc/machine-id on Linux…

Presumably Moo Deng would be the water type… would Punch be the fire type and Jimothy the grass type? Or, is it the other way around?

e. Two, but the real trick is getting them in there…

They had me at 40 for a while as it built up; 20 seems to be about right for me as a maintenance dose. I felt like I slept for a week when we cut the dose! :p

My docs put me on prozac (well, the generic version of it anyway; it’s cheaper). ~20mg/day seems to be about what I needed. Hope your meds are working out well and you’re less anxious now; get your docs to adjust them if not!

For me, I felt tense/“on edge” basically all the time. At some point I realized I couldn’t really ever “relax” properly – just distract myself for a while. I’d overthink trivial things and worry about stuff that didn’t really matter… so much so that it was getting hard to just do normal interactions in my life (like take out the trash or check the mail or buy groceries). My heart was pounding all the time to the point that chest pain was fairly common for me but I’d already had heart issues ruled out (even going so far as to wear a monitor for a month) before they pinned it down as general anxiety. You can get a lot of weird transient/phantom issues as a result of anxiety as well.

If you think you’ve got it, go talk to your doctor.

Here you go. XKCD 1319

I’ve got boxes of spaghetti that are at least six years old (I know I had them on hand during COVID…) which I’ve cooked up successfully as recently as last week.

YMMV with other types (particularly if it’s got any meaningful amount of oil/fat in it) but for spaghetti at least, I haven’t yet found an upper bound on usability.

They sell farmed, ground venison in one of the grocery stores I go to. It’s imported from New Zealand, IIRC. I got a couple packs of it once. The stuff I got, at least, had a more iron-forward flavor than what I’m used to from beef and was very lean – which made it less satisfying than ground beef or lamb for most of the dishes I use ground meat for. It tasted like beef that, if I paid attention, was kind of off, but otherwise wasn’t very notable. Edible, but not something I’ve felt much inclination to seek out again. I’d be willing to get it again if it was cheaper or if I need to change my diet to be lower in fat, but otherwise I’d rather just have beef or lamb. I have not tried it as a steak though, and I haven’t had wild caught as far as I can recall.
