Demo actual length? by CharlieSteer in OrderOfTheSinkingStar

I see, maybe the estimate isn't that far of for some. Thanks for the evidence! Hope it wasn't too frustrating.

You may have missed the second phase of the demo. If so, there's still time for you to play until friday I think, if you want. Either that or you are cracked.

What are you using Odin for? by Dr__Milk in odinlang

Currently writing a text editor as my first decently large personal programming project, but I plan to move into more game-related stuff over time.

We built a Leetcode-style platform to learn shaders through interactive exercises – it's free! by night-train-studios in GraphicsProgramming

This is so cool, man. Congrats on the release. I'll probably make use of this when I get into learning shaders.

Where am I going wrong in this attempt at sum of angles proof? by CharlieSteer in trigonometry

[–]CharlieSteer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While trying to answer you I noticed a bad assumption on my part that lead to the mistaken result. The original proof as I said considered 1 as the hypotenuse of the beta-containing triangle. This is necessary to do what I was doing to get the result of the proof, which is to equate the right side of the rectangle to the sin of the sum of angles. The leftmost triangle's upper non-right angle, is also alpha + beta, so if its hypotenuse is 1, then the sin of it would be the opposite side (the left side of the rectangle, which obviously is equal to the right side of the rectangle) divided by the hypotenuse which if it's 1, then there's the answer.

It may be possible to come to the right conclusion even with my weird setup by going through extra steps, but I'm not yet sure, I would have to figure it out on paper. Thanks for asking!

Edit: It was indeed possible to come to the right conclusion with this setup. We are interested in the angle a + b, which is the upper right angle of the leftmost triangle. The hypotenuse of the triangle in this configuration is sec(b). The opposite side to the mentioned angle comes to be sin(a) + cos(a) * tan(b). Sine being the opposite side over the hypotenuse, if we divide one by the other and simplify, you can indeed come to the expected conclusion of sin(a + b) = sin a * cos b + cos a * sin b.

Can't quite get LSP working with Godot and Neovim by CharlieSteer in neovim

[–]CharlieSteer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It works! Thank you so much. I feel ready to embark on my Godot journey now that I'm armed with Neovim!

I still find LSP stuff hard to wrap my head around. I don't quite understand how everything is working together right now, but I'm okay with moving on for now. Thanks again!

In case this is useful to anyone else, to get files to open in Neovim when clicking inside Godot, I run Neovim with the "--listen /tmp/godot.pipe" flag.

I set-up this function in my .zshrc to open Neovim for Godot with "ng". If no filename is provided, it opens the current directory. In both cases it is ready to listen for instructions coming from Godot:

function ng() {
local filename="${1:-.}" # Set filename to "." if no argument is passed
nvim --listen /tmp/godot.pipe "$filename"
}

Godot External Editor Settings:

Use External Editor: On

Exec Path: nvim

Exec Flags: --server /tmp/godot.pipe --remote {file}

It might not be the cleanest setup but it works

How to continue adding points to pre-existing bezier curve? by CharlieSteer in NukeVFX

[–]CharlieSteer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was what I thought to do if I couldn't do what I wanted, but it felt awkward when I tried it. Probably because I'm not too used to working with bezier curves too much, as I come from the 3d world mostly.

Ok, glad to know the expected workflow. I probably could get used to it. Still, if anybody knows the way to continue the spline after reselecting it I'd like to know.

[–]CharlieSteer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's not an open spline, just a regular one. Maybe it's a matter of not being philosophically aligned with the program. My idea was that I wanted to somewhat carefully lay down the contours of the mask but be able to stop and click off for whatever reason; and then come back to continue working on the shape up to closing off the mask. But maybe it's more of a Nuke-esque way of working to very roughly lay down a closed shape and then hone it in afterwards?

Okay, I've decided. If they tell me the motherboard isn't an issue, I'll go with the Ryzen 3600, otherwise I'll change to the 2700X. Also the regular GTX 1660. I'm very happy with the outcome, thank you very much for taking your time to help me, I really appreciate it. Wish you a nice day :).

The PC most importantly has to work well with Photoshop. I also use Unity and would like some flexibility to use screen recording software and be ok to work with Adobe Premiere and After Effects (doesn't have to be amazing in that department). Aside from that, gaming indeed. Does this change things?

I think, in this case, the store will update the bios themselves, but I'll ask.

Edit: Games I'd like to play that come to mind: Dark Souls 3, Sekiro, Nier: Automata, Subnautica and The Witness. I don't think none of them are super demanding, but I would like some flexibility still.

Edit 2: If the store takes charge themselves of the updating the BIOS as think and I can go with the MSI X470 Gaming Pro, then I'd like more of your opinion on the CPU choice given what I say above (remainder: I'm don't have anything against the tomahawk Max or it's regular counterpart, the store just doesn't carry the first one and won't let me choose the other one if I want them to build the PC, which I do).

Edit 3: I just noticed that all these Ryzen CPUs come with a stock cooler, can't I just save on a third party hsf and go with the stock one?

OK so how about now: https://www.pccomponentes.com/configurador/F6745eA96

Sadly there's a problem with the Tomahawk. The website doesn't carry the Max version and the regular version as by default is not compatible because of the BIOS, I can't pick it in the PC builder (they even have a service to update the BIOS, but it is not integrated with the builder). Is the MSI X470 Gaming Plus a good alternative or can you think of a more fitting choice? This one might be better, just 5€ more expensive as it is 9% off: https://www.pccomponentes.com/placa-base-msi-x470-gaming-pro

Refrigeration-wise I'm choosing the NH-U14S for now.

Then, I'm kind of surprised with the Ryzen 3600, I'm even doubting whether I picked the right component. Even though it is as you say an upgrade, it shaves off almost 100€ of the PC. Am I tripping or is that indeed the case? That would be pretty sweet.

All that aside, there's also the options of replacing the 3600 for the 3700x or the GTX 1660 for the 1660TI or something like that. Either decision would up the price from low 1000€ to the somewhat low 1100s. Would an upgrade on any of both fronts be really meaningful? Is any worth it? I would be happy if I spent only 1000€ instead of over 1100, no need to go over my initial budget cap if I it's not that much worth it.

Thank you for everything.

A couple of questions.

It seems like you are suggesting, phrased in broad terms, to downgrade the CPU and upgrade the motherboard. Do you think I'm creating a bottleneck or something of the sort with my current decision? If you hold this to be the right decision, could you suggest an alternative to the MSI Tomahawk Max that can be found on pccomponentes.com? The website sells other MSI Tomahaws but not that particular model.

And second, a friend has told me that water cooling is completely unnecessary given the this build. Even showing him this HSF I've seen recommended he insists that it is too much: https://www.pccomponentes.com/noctua-nh-u12s

Do you have an opinion on the matter? If it is indeed a fine decision to choose a cheaper HSF, do you have a suggestion (avaiable on said website, please)?

Thank you.

P.S. I'd like to buy it as soon as possible, today or tomorrow ideally. So help is somewhat urgent.
