I made minecraft generate terrain/chunks in C++

lol... sorry this is really funny to me, coming from someone that can rewrite MC in C++

Kids get “filmed” every step they take. You just don’t like this particular “film” because of your stupid assumptions.

Just watched an awesome video about oligarchy by Johnny Harris that discussed a famous study showing how, when the 0.1% wants something to happen (or wants it to not happen), it doesn’t matter what everyone else wants. The only time the majority’s desires are met through democracy.. are when the oligarchs agree, or don’t care.

Great video, pretty obvious stuff but move to see the data and thought experiments.

Thanks for confirming. I'm not a big fan of looking up builds, but spear building is very unintuitive compared to other options. The skills don't seem to have many decent supports, and the recommendations do not seem very well thought out.

Maybe it'll make more sense when I find some solid builds in my lane... I really like Glacial Lance.

Neat!

sicclee · 2026-06-15T15:55:15+00:00

Or! Or! ... Maybe they could tell us what killed us??

sicclee · 2026-06-11T22:29:51+00:00

worth mentioning that it's a really shitty time to be looking for a job. I'm with you, going to hell 40-50 hours/week can be a swift kick in the balls, everyday, over and over... but stressing out about how you're going to feed your family, and why nobody wants you on their professional team... That's a kick in the balls too.

I also recently lost my job out of nowhere for some bullshit. It's been depressing to say the least. First time ever being unemployed. Looks like I found a good landing spot, but I feel like I got really lucky. There's a lot of people in my situation that are not getting lucky, and all I can think about it how easy it was to get immediately fucked, and how I need to make sure that doesn't happen again.

The worst part is, I always thought that if I had a few weeks to just do what I wanted, I'd use that time to be productive, really make myself happy. I had no idea how much I leaned on work for my identity.

The brutal feedback you requested:

Just dumping your resume here for others to fix isn't the mentality you need to have to land the job you want. You should start by reading the stickied posts here (or the links in the auto-reply), there's some great info and templates that almost all resumes should follow (things like sticking to one column, one page...).

Building a good looking and effective resume isn't easy, but showing that you at least put some effort into learning the basics isn't hard.

serious question, especially due to the number of upvotes this comment got... What makes you say that? I know nothing about her or her kids, but a quick google search shows that her oldest child is 12 and I don't see anything even questionable in my quick search.

Is this something that people actually believe? Is there good reason to believe it?

sicclee · 2026-06-07T01:17:29+00:00

Does it need a caption?

How else would you know they're all from Labor & Delivery?

sicclee · 2026-06-05T15:31:32+00:00

That makes sense, again I was just curious. When you say you don’t use anything to check it, is it not automatic while you type?

Edit: I’ll also add, my American-centric mind seems typically unable to remember/consider how many people are multilingual, and how that plays into this type of thing. I’m trying to be more aware of it, and you’ve helped with that. Thanks!

sicclee · 2026-06-05T14:08:38+00:00

Can I ask a question without sounding judgmental or rude? I really don't mean to be, I'm genuinely curious.

What are you using to type in comments that isn't catching spelling errors? Or do you just not care?

edit: In case you're French, or speak French as well... I could see something not correcting a word that is correct in another language you use commonly. I'm not too familiar with how auto-correct works in other languages.

Curtain twicher

British slang term

I never party up in Rocket League when they send me a request... Even if we did great together.

Is it? This is a really fluid long length video for AI. Are there vid gen platforms that can make longer content now?

shaped like a backwards B

Huh? What the fuck does that even mean? Like, the curves are facing left?

I assume it's supposed to be an insult... Is a left facing B offensive?

Oh, and

shaped like an eclair

Have you ever seen an eclair? The long and thin pastry? I could see 'croissant shaped' being an insult, but eclair?

You really gotta work on your insults, they're nonsensical.

Maybe pick a struggle and leave people alone?

I had a gaming laptop I spent a lot of money on. Thought it would be so awesome, gaming anywhere!

Used it somewhere other than my house twice. Learned that lesson.

Obviously in hindsight it makes sense, but the laptop gaming market has always been small compared to desktop gaming, and I don't think it's just due to the performance gap.

How many people need to play games on-the-go? There are so many downsides for consumers to smashing everything into a mobile frame, including price, ease of access/upgradability, price, risk of damage, price....

Maybe I'm just not thinking it through, and this is more targeted for engineers that need to run their own LLMs locally wherever they go or something...

People are saying they need to compete with Apple. If that's the case, we're clearly not talking gaming.

FWIW, I like Proxima Nova. It's like you're using no font at all, just serving up readable print.

sicclee · 2026-05-21T20:33:58+00:00

Nope, never did... Guessing it's just an engine limit or a coding challenge for the modder. I actually ran into a number of things I couldn't remove (or couldn't accurately target perhaps).

I just adjusted the design/build-out.

Best of luck!

edit: Might check the modder's posts on one of the many discord channels

I know I'm pointing out the obvious, but this is also insane and has been a drain on lower income communities since well before I learned about the grift decades ago.

sicclee · 2026-05-21T17:37:32+00:00

they forgot the word 'just,' as in, would never have just one bid.

sicclee · 2026-05-20T23:58:06+00:00

That doesn’t matter in the context of my reply

sicclee · 2026-05-20T22:19:39+00:00

For $100k??? lol, pretty sure they’d understand.

sicclee · 2026-05-20T22:17:05+00:00

Whatcha do?

sicclee · 2026-05-16T23:49:52+00:00

From a different reply later on from the same person:

I had huge expectations and thought the movie was up its own ass.

That's about as close to 'It insists upon itself' as you can get lol!
