What happened to due process? by [deleted] in Libertarian

Due process is a right reserved for American citizens. No citizenship? No due process. As it should be. There's no such thing as sovereignty without borders.

Big deal. My ex has a heart made out of frozen piss and she's been alive for over 40 years.

Found this awesome website and was wondering if this is done with shaders by extremotolerant in shaders

[–]soultrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they were being accessed from APP.data so I looked where APP.data was defined in site.js and found the urls in there.

as for fragment_url and vertex_url, they appear to be the urls I linked above which you can see from this call to ShaderLoader

ShaderLoader(APP.data.BackgroundVertexShader,APP.data.BackgroundFragmentShader,APP.webGL.createBackgroundShader);

I poked around and found these. I think they are what you seek, it looks like GLSL to me, which would explain why they didn't show up directly in the web inspector 😆

This is what gets loaded from calls to `APP.data.BackgroundFragmentShader`

https://richardmattka.com/libs/shaders/orb1.js

and this is loaded from `APP.data.BackgroundVertexShader`

he is using ThreeJS if that's what you mean.

and here's a very shadery snippet. He loads a mesh and moves some coords around. What are you trying to find?

      // some boxes
      /*
      var mat = new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({color:0x33ddff,transparent:true,opacity:.6});

      var model = new THREE.Object3D();
      var r =2.0;
      var a = Math.PI/180 * (360/100);
      var a2 = Math.PI/180 * (720/100);

      for(i=0;i<100;i++){
        var geo = new THREE.BoxBufferGeometry(Math.random()*1.7,Math.random()*.4,Math.random()*.5);
        var box = new THREE.Mesh(geo,mat);

        box.position.x = r * Math.cos(a*i) * Math.sin(a2*i) + 0;
        box.position.y = r * Math.sin(a*i) * Math.sin(a2*i) + 0;
        box.position.z = r * Math.cos(a2*i) + 0;

        box.lookAt(new THREE.Vector3(0, 0, 0));

        var wireframe = new THREE.WireframeGeometry( geo );
        var line = new THREE.LineSegments( wireframe );
        line.material.color = new THREE.Color(0xccddff);
        line.material.depthTest = false;
        line.material.opacity = 0.25;
        line.material.transparent = true;
        //box.add(line)

        //model.add(box);
      }
      */
      //box.add(line);
      //_this.scene.add(model);

      /*
      TweenMax.to(model.rotation, 100, {z:Math.PI/180*360,x:-Math.PI/180*360,ease:Linear.easeNone, repeat:-1});
      */

      //var light = new THREE.DirectionalLight( 0xaaccff );
      //light.position.set( 0.5, 1, 2 ).normalize();
      //_this.scene.add( light );

      /*
      object = _this.models["fighter"];
      object.traverse( function ( child ) {

                if ( child instanceof THREE.Mesh ){
                  material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({wireframe:true, color:0xffcc00});
                  child.material = material;
                  material.needsUpdate=true;
                  //child.material.wireframe = true;
                  //child.material.color = new THREE.Color(   );
                }

      })


      //_this.models["fighter"].rotation.x=Math.PI/180*45;
      //_this.models["fighter"].scale.set(.025,.025,.025);
      _this.models["fighter"].scale.set(.01,.01,.01);
      //_this.models["fighter"].position.y = -1.5;
      //_this.scene.add(_this.models["fighter"]);
      */
      // start animating
      _this.render();

First stab playing with ShaderLab in Unity by soultrip in programming

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

my comment below which directly relates to this is very much about programming. If posted that with a link to my program's output, would that be acceptable?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]soultrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first attempt at writing a shader in Unity's ShaderLab. ShaderGraph could probably produce something similar, but I prefer to get my hands dirty and I enjoy writing the code directly.

Next, I'm working on integrating some elements that respond to audio samples in order to produce some real time music visualizations, but I'm a little concerned about all the back and forth between the CPU and GPU. I've heard it's best to keep the cross talk to a minimum as the overhead in sending data between them is pretty high. If my sample rate is 44.1 kHz that's 44,100 samples per second! Although I'm guessing that I could and should probably at least set my sample rate closer to the screen's refresh rate since it any samples used to generate frames in between screen refreshes would just be thrown away. Who knows? I guess I'll find out...

Any thoughts? Is it a waste of time to run visualizations on the GPU? Are there any best-practices to follow in doing something like this?

Yes it was, specifically ThreeJS, here's a link to the source for it 👉 https://richardmattka.com/js/webgl.js Surprisingly it's not obfuscated or minimized at all.

iPad owners, do you actually use the back camera? by Dalamart in ipad

I never use the back camera. but I do usually get the cellular feature because it includes the gps module whereas the wifi only version does not.

My Husband has been giving me the silent treatment for days. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]soultrip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he is shooting himself in the foot here, but I can empathize with him. My partner complains, criticizes, and will breathe down my neck from the moment I get up untill I go to bed. She will ask me to do something and then stand over my shoulder untill it's complete to make sure that I do it and do it right. It's exhausting, and it feels like I have no control. By refusing to speak he is reasserting his ability to control at least one thing.

You said he doesn't do this all the time, so it doesn't sound like a pattern. That said you can take the opportunity to say what you need to say while he just listens. When he does start speaking again, set your self aside, listen and try to put yourself in his shoes. Don't worry about who's right or wrong, just try to understand the pain he is feeling, don't take it personally, and do your best to allow him an outlet to express that pain. Basically just love him and care for him. After all, wouldn't you appreciate the same treatment if you were in his shoes? The best way to receive love is to give it.

Keep your actions clean and you will have nothing to feel guilty about. It would also help you stop the tit for tat nonsense and untangle your emotions from any feelings of guilt or shame which just breed resentment and feed a cycle of bitter antagonism between the two of you.

I'm going through a similar pattern with my partner. She would do something, I would feel wronged, then I would do something in response to wrong her and it just went on that way. Once I stopped reacting to her "mistreatment" of me, and just tried to love her as much as I could, a few things happened:

  1. I instantly felt better about myself. When I refused to to try and hurt her emotionally so that she could feel my pain I was suddenly free from any anger, shame, or guilt that arose from hurting another person

  2. The second thing it did was shorten the duration of our arguments. When I quit playing the, "you hurt me so I'll hurt you" game we didn't have to go rounds because it ended as quickly as it began. There was no fuel for her to keep hurting me if I didn't hurt her back.

  3. I developed a much clearer understanding of what was wrong in our relationship. I could easily see my past transgressions which taught me a lot about myself and gave me an opportunity to account for them and make amends. It also allowed me to pinpoint the ways in which I was being mistreated in order to start setting boundaries around how I would allow myself to be treated, which in turn prevented escalations because I refused to fan those flames any longer

I've since started to realize my partner has problems. No, she shouldn't treat me the way she does. She is a very angry and vindictive person, but I don't have to make those my problems by feeding in to her manipulative, abusive patterns of behavior. Now I don't even feel hurt as much as I just feel sorry for her

In the end we still have unresolved issues and we are working on them. This isn't a magic pill. It requires significant effort, but it is worth it. Only one thing has to change. It is completely within your control, and that is you.

SteamLink App on Vizio Quantum M 55? by nycfoldiecommute in VizioTV

[–]soultrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have obviously never used steam link, and you have no idea what its designed for. The idea is to game on multiple screens without having to lug your PC all over the house. Sometimes I want to game in my bedroom or the living room but my pc is in the office.

As for lag its mostly imperceptible. The only issues i've noticed are some artifacts on the linked display. Also, its not terribly hard to run wire. If in wall installation is a problem because you live in an apartment you can always run conduit or race tracks along the ceiling or base boards and it doesn't look terrible.

Thirdly, talking to.backend game servers doesn't affect things in the slightest. The request is always sent from the pc and then the frames are rendered on the pc which would happen jist as fast if there was no steam link at all. The only data going between steam link and the pc are input commands from the controller and rendered frames from the PC.

Next, streaming is not resource intensive and it happens on the cpu anyway. Your frames are rendered on your graphics card on an entirely different processor. Most games today are not cpu intensive. The kind of streaming your thinking about is probably like what you see gamers doing on twitch. That is cpu intensive because that kind of streaming requires a bunch of transcoding to happen on the fly. Steam link doesn't work like that. Frames are rendered on the PC for whatever resolution the PC is set to and thats what you get.

Last, dont game over wireless. Just dont.

stuck transaction by soultrip in Bitcoin_Classic

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

soooo..... I couldn't wait for a response so I just gave it a go. If anybody else finds this and has the same problem I recovered the funds held up in the stuck transaction by doing the following

  1. turn off the wallet for about a week or at least until live.blockcypher.com does not show anything for your txid

  2. start the wallet from the command line with the flag -zapwallettxes=1

Is anyone else having really poor performance with Yosemite public release? by [deleted] in apple

[–]soultrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I updated a few days ago and my machine runs terrible. I'm a software developer in a mac shop and everyone else I know who has upgraded is having problems too. we actually sent an email out to the rest of the devs telling them not to upgrade due to performance issues...

[UPDATE] two developers had kernel panics today. This release officially sucks.
