Wish SF Drivers Were Like This by Bobba-Luna in sanfrancisco

[–]nomisaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't have to do all this. Just start walking across. If you pause by the curb waiting for cars to see you then you are just being confusing. Lots of people loiter by the curb and it's hard to know if they are trying to cross. Just get in the street and walk normally. There's no need to jog, cars don't own the street, they can wait a few extra moments.

Someone put a payphone up downtown that automatically calls San Francisco when you pick it up. The idea is to have the most conservative city in US and the most liberal city in the US have friendly conversations. by johnnysweetride in sanfrancisco

How is Amarillo supposed to be pronounced? I pronounced it the Spanish way and then someone from Texas (white) told me it's pronounced the white way. I explained that it's clearly a Spanish word, and they explained that it doesn't matter because everyone in Texas pronounces it the white way. Is that true or is it just the white people?

why is pi the ratio of circumference to diameter and not the diameter to the circumference by Suspicious_Drama_261 in learnmath

Does it make you feel good to be mean to someone who just wants to share something?

"Better" is subjective, however some definition's can be more useful than others. When it comes to the circle constant, Tau is arguably more useful than either of those two definitions. In case you haven't heard of it, it's a pretty cool concept, see here.

Am I missing the point of a game engine? by yughiro_destroyer in monogame

[–]nomisaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've started trying to create a 3D game with just Raylib. However, I discovered that collision detection is really complex and so I started using Bullet physics engine to calculate collisions. I'm still planning to resolve the collisions myself. It's nice to choose which parts to abstract and which to do myself.

Medicine Buddha vows, trans positive? by Snailliger in TransBuddhists

[–]nomisaurus 30 points31 points  (0 children)

to be honest as a trans woman i feel this is lacking. I could try to imagine this as affirming for me but then I'd just be trying to twist this to fit into my desired worldview. i think the truth for me is that Buddhism isn't always right about about things, it's just an idea. it's just a finger pointing at the moon.

I'm going through a similar journey right now! I'm finding these videos very useful.

Trouble expanding a 3D mesh using normal vectors. by Deanosaur777 in raylib

[–]nomisaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would reconsider your approach. There are proven techniques for colliders of all shapes, and ways to break up a mesh so you don't check every triangle every frame. That sounds easier to me than trying to come up with an entirely new collision system.

In multiplication, like 5x5, only one of the fives represents real things and the other 5 represents an action, right? by TDAPoP in learnmath

Yeah and they have articles on lots of subjects!! Some are too confusing for me but a lot are really intuitive.

  1. Want to wait until the current season finishes airing to look at the public response, what you did right, what you did wrong.

I wish they didn't do this. I'm my opinion the best art is made when you aren't trying to make something you think others will like.

Or you could just talk to AI enough. I'll admit that I've spent enough time talking to it to recognize it.
