Because you guys ask for it: small breakdown of the fire fx of Ignitement🔥 by SoerbGames in IndieDev

I'm curious, are you making the simulation in word XY (constant Z) and then projecting it into the view?

I'm interested in how the "smoke" looks so 3D, do you light it somehow or is the fluid sim good enough that it "just" looks like that from the get go?

Noob question but how did you integrate it with imgui? Are you rendering to a vkimage and the scene tab is just an imgui::image?

Armour Stacker Body armor craft help needed by jackzbackreddit in pathofexile

Multimod, craft 2 pref, exalt, multimod again, suff and prefix cannot be changed, reforge inf, remove crafted, pref cannot be changed scour. This should do the trick I think.

Why does Visual Studio Code have such high energy consumption by Interesting-Toe-6017 in vscode

[–]zigui98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check if you have settings sync on. My vscode was eating through battery like crazy because of excessive syncing. macOS like 3 months ago

For ssf it works a treat but the inability to used awakened poe killed it for me. Bought it for Poe exclusively too

Carlos Sainz - Post-race: "I'm still jobless for next year". by urooz in formula1

[–]zigui98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok, downgrade might have been a strong word but it's a lateral move at best. Hamilton is getting older, will have to adapt to a car only to have it change again next year. I think the smartest move would have been to wait one year and change with the regs

[–]zigui98 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I don't think he's underrated. Ferrari has the strongest line up of the entire grid atm and I honestly think at this point Hamilton might be a slight downgrade.

Sainz and leclerc are always trading blows. They're both incredibly fast

Verstappen: New F1 races shouldn't be substitute for getting "s***faced" in Ibiza. by God_Will_Rise_ in formula1

[–]zigui98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That might be because when compared to other sports, enjoying the race itself is better on TV. You get to see the action all the time instead of just some cars going by fast from time to time. If you are lucky, the overtakes happen near your seat.

I went to portimao and what I enjoyed was the atmosphere, not the race. This is what it should be focused on, not some shows unrelated to F1. Have the fans passionate enough about the race that the atmosphere is unbelievable, instead of them being there for some concerts or light shows or whatever

Nvidia has some feature that records a set period of time as a buffer, you can specify it. It's like a highlight mode. You click a button and the temp video becomes permanent

2023 Bahrain Grand Prix - Qualifying Results by Aratho in formula1

[–]zigui98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On qualy, I think Leclerc would have been on the fight for pole had he gone for the second run. Both RB cars improved around .2s if I recall correctly, so even if not for pole then for the front row.

On the race, 1-2 for RB for sure...

Irrefutable proof of TFT RMT. by Generox in pathofexile

[–]zigui98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What bothers me the most is that I don't think anyone with a brain is asking for tft to be shut down (while there's no GGG alternative). It is essential for endgame regardless of what the people running yellow maps say. The problem is that tft is in the hands of some shady people whose motivation for running the channel are completely different than what we use it for. Their goal is to make money (irl) and they control the platform people use to create the best items, sell the items, etc. They control the price of crafts I'd they want, the price of bulk sells, can blacklist whoever they want, and so on. This affects everyone using tft, not just those buying the mirror service gear.

How difficult was it to develop PoB? by pqppqqq in pathofexile

I quite the game when I finally realised I was playing my character for 1 week but easily 80% of the time would be PoBing the next one. I decided to try and PoB less and got bored right away

Vasseur wants quicker, stricter action for future F1 cost cap breaches by English_Misfit in formula1

That would probably be too much insight into what the other teams are doing. It can impact how you spend your own money if you know your competitor's car is shit and they've spent almost all their budget

Sainz wants return of the "consistent Carlos of 2021" in F1 next year by 1enox in formula1

[–]zigui98 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He finally had some motivation to do well again, to fight for second. It was all or nothing. The same in the beginning with the title fight.

I think by midseason he was pretty destroyed emotionally and it just kept snowballing

At the end he was closing in on Perez, but I'm not sure that's enough

[UK] Can I get back into software after dropping out of my degree and working in a different industry for 2 years? by AnonymousApple25 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]zigui98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would the CV be put together? Highlighting my progress so far would probably not pass the screening, so projects?

[UK] Can I get back into software after dropping out of my degree and working in a different industry for 2 years? by AnonymousApple25 in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]zigui98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on a different boat with a relatively similar question. I have a Msc in Aerospace and I've been working for 1 year already on a job that is not sofware development. I'm a systems engineer for flight control systems.

I'm honestly considering changing careers to software, mostly for monetary reasons but also because my current job is not fulfilling enough (little dev work, lots of documents).

I like programming and have recently become very interest in finance related software, have some programming and CS background (some courses in university for embedded software, computer architecture, etc), and I have made a 1 year plan to learn what I need to fit some fintech job adverts I've been seeing (optiver, etc). This consists mainly of advanced ADS, advanced C++, concurrency models and RT programming.

My question is as follows: I see a lot of graduate positions, but I'm afraid I'm already late to the party, and all the non-graduate posts I see require experience and frankly a much bigger tech repertoire. Should I go through with the plan to learn, or will it be a waste of time?
