Yeah, it's really fun to revisit stuff from a couple years back. It really is a shame that I've never bothered to back anything up prior to 2017 or so.
I think it started with some youtube video getting deleted and then I just started to save the stuff that I liked and wasn't sure if it's going to stay up.

I once tried to learn C++ but so many things just sucked:
The syntax, headder files, 1000 ways to do the same thing, the ((meta-)meta-) "build" system(s) and overall the feeling of the language:
It is like someone had continuously updated his hobby project without concerning other users.

I want to learn a modern language instead and chose Zig out of Rust or Zig as Rust seemed gay-coded to me.
Is it a good decision to learn Zig? Will Zig stay?

designing a language it makes perfect sense to hone it and develop features while building a large application and having a small pool of developers using it so you can replace features and refine things w/o people complaining.
https://youtu.be/IdpD5QIVOKQ

Or you can be like gingerbill and make a programming language for game development while never having made an actual game...

Or zig because andrew kelley had a pressing need for it because... he was working some some open source music software he also has never actually finished

blow made 2 very popular and succesful games over decades, and while making a third created a language to better serve that purpose, it just doesn't compare.

Yeah, egos have a way of muddying the thing of study. I mean at the end of the day I imagine we’re all trying to figure out whats going on. It kind of shocks me how people put the most obvious question in the back of their mind: what are we all doing here? When you frame it that way, it makes all the ego games seem funny. I can go on and on about this kind of stuff, and it’s probably why I opt to use ChatGPT, to spare others the immense volume of thoughts I have everyday that everyone else seems to put aside or can’t/won’t spare the cognitive bandwidth, who knows.

why are so many programming "help" groups like this? like, somebody will specifically opt into helping people, and then get frustrated when they dont do exactly what they expect. it constantly feels like im testing everyone's patience whenever i ask for help and its even harder trying to just learn everything myself, especially considering all the weird semantic differences in both the language itself and guides.

like i can imagine a full script in my head but i wouldnt know how to translate it into the language im currently using. and on the offchance that i *do* get the help needed, usually its just "oh just use the blah function", so its not like i just Dont Know How To Code or anything i just dont know the shit thats specific to the engine, and its not like i can just look it up in a glossary or something because the words can be totally different from language to language, like how "object" in one language can be "entity" in another, and object in *that* language refers to an object in an array or something, so theres just a huge language gap that i cant really cross without the help of others, which sucks because working with others sucks

You might be looking for something like ferdium. It's really no different than a separate browser but allows for isolation of the different "tabs" so you can have different logins for a single web app at the same time. I have my WhatsApp, some AI apps and my Google stuff for two separate accounts there.its quit heavy though. Nothing for an old ThinkPad with mint.

I'm still using Thunderbird for all things mail though.

>have you experimented with using different shadow/depth bit-depths? (16, 24, 32...) Maybe based on the light's radius?

My shadow map texture buffers are set to DXGI_FORMAT_R24G8_TYPELESS so they use 24 bit depth maps and 8 bit stencils (though I'm not using the stencils) but I do initialize the projection matrix to have a max depth of the radius of the light in order to prevent wasted precision at larger distances.

How would I do different levels of precision? Looking at DXGI constants there's

DXGI_FORMAT_D32_FLOAT
DXGI_FORMAT_D24_UNORM_S8_UINT
DXGI_FORMAT_R24_UNORM_X8_TYPELESS
DXGI_FORMAT_D16_UNORM


so those would handle 16 24 and 32 bit. I suppose if I'm not using the stencil int I should just be using 32 bit depth maps? or 16 bit just to save space maybe
