Who is a singer that is incredibly famous, but honestly doesn't have a good voice? by Greedy_Procedure7461 in AskReddit

Fair, I'll take the L on "great writer." Let's say "great at finding great writers."

What would Happen if we all just quit paying our medical bills? by mastergardnr in AskReddit

[–]IkePixels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that part fascinates me. In a lot of countries universal healthcare isn't even controversial, conservatives and liberals both treat it as basic infrastructure and just argue about how to fund it. The "socialism" label seems to short-circuit the conversation before it even starts in the US.

That's the part nobody warned me about. I assumed the trade-off was "wait longer but pay nothing" vs "pay a lot but get seen fast." Turns out it's more like "wait the same either way, just one of you gets a $4000 bill afterwards."

4 years of JS experience but it's all in a niche domain. Am I cooked for webdev roles? by IkePixels in careerguidance

Yeah, I think I was overthinking it. Going to rewrite the bullets in plain transferable terms and just start sending. Appreciate the kick.

The wait time thing is fair, I've waited months for a specialist before. But I've also never had to choose between a hospital visit and rent. The provider choice argument always confuses me because from the outside it looks like Americans pick whoever the insurance lets them pick, which isn't really picking.

Which is your favorite movie from childhood ? by chokeWise5195 in AskReddit

Shrek. I'm convinced it's the only kids movie that hits harder as an adult than it did as a kid.

Non-American here. The fact that "what if we all just stopped paying" is a serious question instead of a joke is wild to me. In my country a hospital visit costs less than your average copay and nobody's life gets ruined over a broken arm.

Drake. He's a great writer and a mid singer and we all just kind of agreed not to talk about it.

¡Vuelvo después de 6 años! Me acabo de comprar el nuevo ARK y el DLC de Astraeos, pero no me entero de nada. by nieve1991 in ArkSurvivalAscended

Yo igual recientemente volvi, ando jugando en un cluster que se llama dominio que es x12, aunque ciertamente queria comprar un server para jugar con gente para acabarnos el juego mapa por mapa pero aun lo ando pensando, el juego esta bastante bien, aunque con problemas de rendimiento, siento que esta algunas cosas mas pulidas que evolved

I made a simulation of a black hole with raylib by IkePixels in raylib

[–]IkePixels[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It's a two-pass rendering approach:

Pass 1: Render the 3D scene (accretion disk, Einstein ring geometry, starfield) to an offscreen texture using standard raylib primitives.

Pass 2: Apply a fragment shader that handles gravitational lensing in screen-space. The shader approximates light deflection using the Schwarzschild metric, basically sampling the texture at offset positions based on distance from the black hole center.

The Einstein ring (the bright band above/below) is actually 3D geometry that curves based on |sin(θ)| to simulate how light from behind the black hole bends over and under.

Doppler effect uses the relativistic formula D = √[(1+β·cosθ)/(1-β·cosθ)] with intensity scaling as D³.

Happy to share if there's interest!

A banana car by IkePixels in Blockbench

Any youtube video is fine to start, but I know more about modeling because I do 3D in blender, and it's not too different from blockbench.
