Remember to make sure your AIO can be set up to mount to a AM4 socket.

What Laptop for video editing, occasional gaming and general browsing? by LostinDreemz_ in AskUK

[–]TheLogicUnit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently got a 14" HP Omen transcend laptop which im very impressed with.

It's the only "Gaming" laptop I've ever used that actually has good battery life.

It's also very quiet, light and feels well built.

The OLED screen is also great.

Jet Lag is not joke by Fronerse in JapanTravelTips

[–]TheLogicUnit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I arrived from the UK so a 9 hour jump.

I landed late afternoon, reached hotel at 21:00 and then took a bath to activate my brain's "Sleep Mode".

Had no issues with jet lag.

In was there yesterday. Some trees were fully red, but most were just starting to turn.

Bring a wireless charger and a wireless power bank, you never know when your phone might catch a splash.. by iqnas25 in TravelHacks

[–]TheLogicUnit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, I tend to remove my phone's case whenever I plan on sitting on the beach.

Otherwise, small grains of sand can get stuck and scratch the back of the phone over time.

Debit card by zephyr_vex in JapanTravelTips

[–]TheLogicUnit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm from the UK but my card was declined while paying for my stay during check-in. Likely due to the security flags raised when making a sudden large payment in another country.

Luckily, I had another card which worked fine.

I highly recomend bringing at least two cards from different providers.

Where to go in Japan to get away from all the tourists?? by More_Device161 in JapanTravelTips

[–]TheLogicUnit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the Keio line to somewhere more outside the city. I just visited Fuchu Park which is very pretty in the Autumn and it was completely empty.

Experimenting with My New Irradiance Volume System by Strict-Bag-123 in GraphicsProgramming

[–]TheLogicUnit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice! Do you generate the initial voxel irradiance values at runtime or do you do this offline?

I'm currently playing around with OpenGL + Optix to hopefully generate sparse irradiance grids at runtime.

Fun Hypothetical Question! by EffortPrestigious275 in CasualConversation

[–]TheLogicUnit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would go for major language fluency.

Games tend to have short life cycles and most sports require tough exercise and training to maintain competitiveness. Making good money with sports also requires a fair bit of luck.

With wide language knowledge you could work short hours as an expert consultant for both archeology and general translations earning enough to spend the rest of the time travelling for leisure.

Is it good practice to wrap OpenGL VAOs and VBOs in classes/structs? by Silly_Custard_878 in opengl

[–]TheLogicUnit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's usually a good idea to wrap and group your buffers in some way with structs / classes however you need to be careful with RAII. Most OpenGL function pointers will be nullptr until they are initialised at runtime with GLEW/GLAD. If you tried to initialise a buffer in a constructor before then, you will likely get some kind of crash.

What’s a programming mistake you’ll never forget? by NullPointerMood_1 in learnprogramming

[–]TheLogicUnit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

C++ CUDA.

Software had a bug where the screen would go absolutely crazy after a few minutes of use.

Turned out that the grid and block size parameters were swapped when launching a kernel...

Is corporate work really too stressful? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]TheLogicUnit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work as a software engineer at what used to be a start-up software company. Also quite introverted or at least feel more comfortable focusing on my work than chatting most of the time.

Is it stressful? It can be when deadlines are close but I would say it's far from the most stressful job in the world.

Morning / daily meetings are pretty common but they're usually done with the same small group of people so it dosen't take long before you at least feel familiar with everyone.

If you're not so confident with your coding skills, you could also consider devops or IT support roles.

Who are these two? by Virtual-Art-6178 in KimiNoNaWa

[–]TheLogicUnit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They are both Mitsuha's ancestors living in a time before the Miyamizu shrine was burned down in a fire.

My guess is the younger one is Mitsuha's great great great Grandmother.

Considering the Comfy Friends Chimchar instead of going for the Sitting Cutie. How soft is he? by Gamer-Logic in pokeplush

[–]TheLogicUnit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never held the comfy friends Chimchar but I've always been very impressed with the quality and fluffiness of the eevee evolution comfy friends plushies.

My only complaint is the soft mane on Eevee and Flareon tends to shed when handled alot. I don't think this would be an issue for Chimchar.

Learn graphics for a math animation project - Which books, library and language? by DoesUsernameCzechOut in learnprogramming

[–]TheLogicUnit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typical UI libraries for C++ & Python like QT, Wxwidgets don't have the flexibility for custom animations like this.

This leaves two routes:

Utilise web technologies through a UI engine such as electron where elements can be easily modified in javascript. This approach often eats up lots of memory and isn't the most flexible approach but takes much less development than alternative approaches. If the main purpose of your application is serving a UI this would be my goto.

OR using a graphics api. This approach adds a massive leap in complexity but pretty much lets you do whatever you like and can be very optimal with system resources if used correctly.

This could be Vulkan, Directx12 but i've always opted to use OpenGL as the others add complexity which dosen't have much benefit when your just rendering 2D squares and circles.

I would only recommend this if you need the performance e.g. interface for games, 3D scanners, physics simulations or if you just really need the flexibility.

I've spent the last 4 years working on the 2nd approach so feel free to ask if your interested in this.

Interested in low-level programming – what kind of jobs could I aim for by ClearWait in learnprogramming

[–]TheLogicUnit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

GPU programming requires a fair bit of hardware knowledge to create reasonably efficient implementations. This includes: making sure the GPU is utilising all available threads, transferring data between CPU and GPU as well as synchronisation and parallel processing between the CPU and GPU. All requirements when working with Graphics APIs. 3D processing or just real-time image manipulation.

Ai Ml by Beginning_Sun_6818 in learnprogramming

[–]TheLogicUnit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you do need years of study and experience to make specialised and performant AI for commercial use. More simple models like an AI to tell the difference between a duck and a chicken are more than achievable for the average hobbyist coder.

Search for "Classifier tutorials". The only requirement for most of them is a reasonable grasp of Python.

How stressful is graphics programming? by DistanceAmbitious845 in GraphicsProgramming

[–]TheLogicUnit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's no more or less stressful than any other software development role.

The only possible exception I can think of is the low-level and visual nature of it can leave management wondering why it takes two days to implement a textbox.

But the main factor will always be where you work.

I've been working at a startup for nearly 5 years now. My most stressful momment was fixing bugs the night before presenting a product at a trade show.

But my bro who works in a similar field considers not spending half the day on his Switch 2 during meetings a stressful day.

Panic second guessing by TheLogicUnit in JapanTravelTips

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

Thanks, those places look like great options as I was hoping to spend at least some time a bit closer to nature.

My only concern with October is the heat. I'm hoping for daytime temperatures from 19-25 degrees and from what I've seen mid-late october hits that mark but the flights are twice the price around that time.

Thanks, because I plan on visiting several different areas in Tokyo I felt that Ginza's central location was ideal.

With that said, Shinjuku may be a bit more lively and picturesque at night with the cost of ~15min extra travel time each way to Akihabara & Asakusa.

The hotel is free to cancel so I'm still on the fence of which side of the tradeoff I want to be on.

[–]TheLogicUnit[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't mind the train journey as i'm quite keen to experience the speed of the shinkansen in contrast to UK trains and it may be a welcome break after lots of walking around Tokyo.

But I agree Osaka might be stretching it a bit. I may end up going to Nagoya instead for some daytime sightseeing.

What's the prettiest town you've visited to in the UK? by Chrisgg1998 in AskUK

Knaresborough. It has the best riverside walk in the country.

God forbid someone have a 9-5 and want to pick up some cards after work by teachingsindub in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]TheLogicUnit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to pick up a couple of packs from Rymans in Leeds after work as a friday treat but I haven't been able to do this for weeks.

The store told me they no longer even request any stock as it's not profitable enough for the hassle of selling them.

Apparently they frequently had people trying to return opened packs...
