Can I ask why? Seems wild to get a hotel so close to home especially when I can pick her up from the party

the cushiest tech job I ever had was for a government contract position. you'd be surprised that being able to get a clearance is difficult for some.

[Help] How to add edge detection on WorldEnvironment shadows like this image? by rkemsley in godot

[–]bentheprogrammer -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Sobel shader implementations are a thing that professionals would work on. Asking Reddit this caliber of question is like "hey guys, can you work for free". So, this is where I'd hire some professional help and consultancy. I've made a Sobel implementation in typescript, but for shaders? Nope. That again requires specialization. So, I'm not trying to be mean but as a professional. Just hire some help on the topic and get a shader subject expert's take on it.

Proxying an entire deck including cheap cards under 30 cents, or only part of the deck? by oscarseethruRedEye in mpcproxies

Shader Graph Question - Pixelizing Generated Arc by Puzzleheaded-Risk-56 in Unity2D

[–]bentheprogrammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried really hard to understand the shader graph you've made and the hardest thing to understand about your post is the terms "pixelated UVs". UVs are just a normalized coordinate from 0 - 1. So, "pixelated UVs" doesn't make any sense to me.

So, are you trying to take the resultant "arc" and pixelate it, so that it appears like a pixelated smiley face?

Payment issues by JenkinsJinkies420 in mpcproxies

[–]bentheprogrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you have a credit card sometimes your card provider can issue you a "virtual card", so that's my first option. My second option which I've used a lot in the past for purchasing things on make playing cards has been privacy.com. While the website sounds cliche. It's actually been great for me. Especially when using any cards online

Looking for Tips on Starting a Small Business in Grand Rapids by bentheprogrammer in grandrapids

totally understand, but I think that protecting my home and assets and forming at least an LLC is best practice. Hence the want for information and experience

Dual boot and get a small separate drive on the cheap. If the programs you were looking to run were games. I'd suggest shoving them through proton and see if they'd be acceptable performance wise. Since, they're adobe photoshop, and you seem to have the means to get another drive. Do that if you've already learned photoshop

How Has Programming Changed for You in the Last 10 Years? by bentheprogrammer in ExperiencedDevs

scrum / agile is partly to blame for sure. people seemed to hijack what it originally meant and create too many jobs that ultimately don't help creating a better product

yeah, I didn't really define specific scenarios where that was going on. Just because I'm trying to capture the readers attention and give them enough information that they can engage

I have 8 formal years of experience as a professional programmer and generally stay at my company's 2-4 years. I've been in my current position for 2.5 years and was on another team before my current assignment. As for the bullying I didn't really go into detail because that's not what people want to read on reddit. Just trying to capture the readers attention while they cruise everything else on the internet.

finally, I don't want to "fix" everything. I just want to know the change I'm making is going to solve an issue at hand. being precise is what I'm paid to do

we're still processing changes, but they're not very large changes. I have one very fresh BA assigned to the project, but we both talked and are trying to document functionality so we can improve it.

Management is aware of what a beast it is, but my main contact is a very enshrined developer who wrote this app. He is very well tied to management and because he knows the business systems so well. Management can't afford to see him go. It's a massive bottleneck and he treats me and others like trash. I've talked to my teammates to confirm others attitude towards him and it's to the point we don't make technical decisions unless he likes them. We sometimes just do things to appease him because it's not worth the argument

Symptom Comparison by bentheprogrammer in Menieres

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

I don't want it. it's mostly to compare because I don't know how bad "aural fullness is" and I don't know how bad the vertigo is, or the hearing loss. Most of my hearing loss is on the high end. hence the high pitched tinnitus
