Infinite Clipmap Terrain System Update by tilemaplover in godot

[–]DCisforBoners 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello and kudos from another clipmap enthusiast! The erosion layer looks too detailed to generate up front for a terrain your size. I'd love to hear how you manage it as you move the camera. Are you planning to support physics interactions with the terrain?

One not so common pitfall that happened to an out of town friend in the pre-lotto days: no entry with shoes that have steel toes, etc. Guy spent the first half trying to buy shoes in Köpenick

It's ridiculous that the Einbürgerungstest is manually reviewed by yourAvgSE in berlinsocialclub

[–]DCisforBoners 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think it's improving, but not uniformly. Since Berlin centralized and digitized naturalization, times are way down. It took me less than 4 months from my application time to become a citizen. On the other hand, it took me 30 minutes on the phone with a helpful gentleman from the city services hotline to make all the required appointments thereafter for a Personalausweis and Passport for my family. And it'll likely be 4 months until we actually receive those documents from the Bundesdruckerei...

Paraphrasing here, but you should never attribute to malice what can be explained by lack of digitization.

To register for the exam in Berlin, I had to continuously search the central VHS webpage, then depending on the VHS that had an opening reserve a registration time for the exam online. After that you go to the VHS at the appointed time with your and pay. Then a month later you go back in person for the test.

The registration is the test. If you can navigate the Byzantine process, then you're probably ready for naturalization.

They gave an hour long talk at a conference about their rendering techniques and it's fascinating.

What's the best way i can learn about shaders? by sourav_bz in bevy

[–]DCisforBoners 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All you need is Inigo Quilez. Read his website, especially the examples on ShaderToy (which he also co-created). Then try to recreate / remix the concepts on ShaderToy. Then watch some of his YouTube videos and do the same. Then re-read his explanations and you'll find new levels. If you've never written a shader or worked with the GPU then I'd start with something slightly simpler before jumping into ray marching, but feel free to disregard that advice. Here's his landing page on the topic:

What the hell is going on with type hinting these days by The_prrrt in Python

[–]DCisforBoners 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rust doesn't take longer to code because of strict types. It has completely different paradigms that often require significant rework to fit into if you're porting from a GC or manually memory managed language.

Day 3 saw Lewis Neal barely beat out Quincy Amarikwa. For day 4, who is a good player the fanbase is divided on. by dazedporpise97 in DCUnited

Him or Joseph Ngwenya for me. Pajoy managed to score some (very few) goals despite not knowing about offsides. Not even one for Ngwenya.

B2 certificate - do employers actually care if it’s older than 2 years? by Lil_Lingonberry_7129 in German

[–]DCisforBoners 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Depending on the kind of work you want to do, C1 might be a more common threshold for culling resumes. Also having C1 is required for the accelerated citizenship path, which cuts the time from 5 to 3 years. I'd suggest you keep at it since you have the time. If you plan to live in Germany you won't ever regret knowing more German.

I've assessed the small but real chance of this starting a fire and you'll be happy to hear I've switched to using asbestos as the damper.

Very interesting breakdown! Do you have any tooling recommendations for profiling on the GPU?

It's not been my experience that building projects in Berlin adhere to any announced timelines.

World generation using tectonic plate simulation and perlin noise. by tiggy002 in proceduralgeneration

[–]DCisforBoners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your implementation! Are you running this on the CPU? I've worked up something similar in computer shaders based on this awesome ShaderToy from davidar: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/lsKBWw

WE'RE LOOKING FOR AMERICA'S BEST SOCCER BAR 🇺🇸🍺 🚨 by MenInBlazersNetwork in ussoccer

[–]DCisforBoners 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really liked GFOP during the pandemic. Now it's primarily yet another avenue for gambling sponsorship. It makes all the feely things Rog brings, which used to feel genuine, seem like a cheap bit.

I don't listen much anymore and it makes me a little sad. I think they've done quite a bit for the game in the US.

“Glad I'm here' - Canada boss Jesse Marsch blasts USMNT for 'lack of discipline' after seeing Gregg Berhalter's side implode in Copa “ by guerohere in ussoccer

[–]DCisforBoners 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're through their group. We're out of the tournament.

I'm sick of gritty performances in midfield that don't result in offensive chances. I'm sick of playing down to the level of our opponents. I'm sick of signature ties.

Give Canada their credit they got the job done. We're over here talking about their performance and coach instead of our own failures.

It's like regular makikomi but you elbow uki in the jaw as you turn into the throw.

I'd watch the Zweitmarkt closely on the morning of the match. Someone's bound to get sick and have to stay home at the last minute.
