programming

[olive sable]

i get -1 now, still not the intended 1 but better

-1 maybe means not found?

[opaque sigil]

idk you tell me

[olive sable]

ill ask google

[opaque sigil]

it'd make sense at least

given that it's a c api

This function returns -1 if name does not correspond to an active uniform variable in program, if name starts with the reserved prefix "gl_", or if name is associated with an atomic counter or a named uniform block

^ from glGetUniformLocation

[olive sable]

C++ to opengl padding is so shit aaaa

this is padded ont he c++ side, but for an array opengl doesnt want padding?

im so confused

[tender river]

well, you can always just use an array of 6 floats

[olive sable]

true

this is probably also the cause of my boundinboxes not working properly

[green iron]

1.1.1.1 is down

[olive sable]

The connection has timed out

The server at 1.1.1.1 is taking too long to respond.

[rigid snow]

dns has fallen, millions must manually add websites to hosts

[tender river]

pros of just using unbound

[rigid snow]

pros of actually using the backup dns server setting everything has had forever

[tender river]

backup dns: 1.0.0.1

[olive sable]

down with dns

down with dns

[olive sable]

[raw trout]

woah so much cool art

hope I can do something cool one day

[olive sable]

this thing?

[rare bridge]

@real sierra screeps has forever ruined my sense of optimisation

i caught myself thinking "i need to make sure this all executes within 20ms" while writing a program destined to operate on a prod server

[dusty niche]

Roblox source

The 2016 one

[olive sable]

im worse, i have a viceral need to make everything run in less than a ms to get that 1000+fps

we love 0.245ms

[warped narwhal]

[tender river]

use 2 spaces

[sage crag]

</
    div
>

[tender river]

just remove them because the spec allows it

[warped narwhal]

it's not actually that bad, and I only have it cause it is a deeply nested structure for layout reasons

[sage crag]

excuse me

orbs????

[warped narwhal]

Oh, it also scales correctly on mobile

[sage crag]

seriously?

[olive sable]

[warped narwhal]

praise be the orber

[rare bridge]

[tender river]

oh my god its one of those rewards things when they make you watch an ad or play a game

[opaque sigil]

[tender river]

i use compact mode so i dont even see avatar decorations

[sage crag]

bwa

same

[amber fractal]

One of these days I should just completely overhaul the discord UI for the lols.

[olive sable]

so you cant see the tv decoration on you?

[stray dragon]

the ads are seeping in

[amber fractal]

oh, this client does not have a decent scale set up

I need this ui at half size

[sage crag]

noe

[amber fractal]

[olive sable]

[amber fractal]

No, I don't think that is right. That is a tiny bit large

[stray dragon]

avatar decorations? those don't exist, what are you talking about

[amber fractal]

very real, if I don't care they don't exist

[amber fractal]

client was not giving me a zoom slider, but the binds work

[olive sable]

i like how 3/4 people in the screenshot dont even have those

[stray dragon]

i can't tell so i included 4 people to make sure

i do wish they had a real option to not show them though, they're annoying visual clutter

[hoary lion]

Konii one's fire tho

Old brown tv

[tacit plover]

Tried adding a version control system to godot but I might have fucked up the installation

[desert plaza]

just use compact chat display lol

[stray dragon]

don't wanna

looks bad

[desert plaza]

ok

[tacit plover]

Fixed

How do I use git though

[sage crag]

git add -A
git commit -m "small changes"
git push --force

[olive sable]

new update to hbalng stuff you're doing?

[sage crag]

i have been highly inactive

[tacit plover]

Don't think that works

[sage crag]

i plan to get programming again tmr tho

[sage crag]

why did you trust me

[tacit plover]

I didn't know better

[sage crag]

this would work though if you had a repository already

do you have a repository?

[tacit plover]

That was your one and only chance to tell me to run sudo rm-rf

[tacit plover]

This might be late but what's that

[sage crag]

its the place where your git project lives

i.e. codeberg.org, github.com

(codeberg is better than github )

will host your repository for you

and then you can modify the code in that repository

[tacit plover]

Oh so I'd have to store the whole repository on my own PC if I didn't use stuff like github?

[sage crag]

well, you will have a local copy if you want to make changes

but if you dont want to make changes then yes

you dont need to use a website to make a repository though. you can also make one locally.

[tacit plover]

I have 50GB left of storage so probably not

[sage crag]

git repositories arent typically huge

e.g

[tacit plover]

Is it possible to use git through VCS?

I think I set something up like that during installation

[sage crag]

git is a vcs

[tacit plover]

Sorry, visual code studio

[sage crag]

yes, git is integrated into visual studio code

[tacit plover]

I'll check that out

Then I assume I should link git with a github account or something like that

[sage crag]

only if you want to store code on github

note that microsoft owns github. it may not be an issue for you though.

[tacit plover]

Don't think microsoft is interested on reading code for a game

[tacit plover]

Which is this other one you've mentioned though?

[sage crag]

https://codeberg.org/

[tacit plover]

Is it open source exclusive

[opaque sigil]

wasn't codeberg really strict about only allowing repos with foss licenses or sth

[sage crag]

unsure

[opaque sigil]

i'm so active

[sage crag]

[opaque wharf]

Good morning #programming

[olive sable]

hi

[sage crag]

good 2am

[olive sable]

[tacit plover]

Well, guess I'll stick with github

[olive sable]

good 3am

you're wrong konii

[opaque sigil]

gotta be prepared for github spontaneously imploding

[opaque wharf]

Mhm, my 7AM is your 00.00

[olive sable]

half my forks are just brackets

[sage crag]

i can make one

[olive sable]

hblang port

[opaque wharf]

Oh, time to rebase and reopen the PR

[olive sable]

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[opaque sigil]

you're the one that just yoinked the makefile smh

[opaque wharf]

Dang, toast is adding meson lol

[sage crag]

}```
**

[olive sable]

[opaque sigil]

i started and then hit tinygltf and stopped

[olive sable]

konii im getting my gun

[opaque sigil]

it should be fairly straightforward to port to meson though

[opaque wharf]

Wise choice

[opaque sigil]

make an option for including emscripten

[sage crag]

you cant kill me in a way that matters

[opaque sigil]

i'm just lazy

and should be doing other things

[olive sable]

wdym?

[opaque sigil]

why does btop --version suddenly give me a bold version number wtf is this

so you can like idk

[sage crag]

user@linux ~> btop --version
fish: Unknown command: btop

interesting version

[opaque sigil]

meson -Demscripten build or sth and it also builds emscripten

[olive sable]

btop : The term 'btop' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

[opaque wharf]

So apparently someone managed to register the TLD .gay

[sage crag]

.gay has existed for ages

[opaque sigil]

it's been a thing for years no?

[opaque wharf]

I just know it today

So I can buy SamVanMaele.gay

[sage crag]

also it's not some guy, it's ICANN

[opaque sigil]

iirc you technically need some affiliation with an lgbtq org to get one of the domains though or sth

at least that was the idea

could be wrong

probably stopped caring about that

[sage crag]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.gay

[olive sable]

why me?

[opaque wharf]

I doubt ICANN got the idea themselves. Must've been from some proposal

[olive sable]

im one of the least gay people here

konii is literlay into woman

[opaque wharf]

Nothing in particular lol. Out of all the people here I just know you the most I guess

[sage crag]

In a guest column published by the LGBTQ publication PQ Monthly in October 2013, Top Level Design's CEO Ray King said he was inspired to apply for .gay by his late gay brother-in-law Clyde and other family members.

it appears so

[amber fractal]

I just jumped in here and thought of the exact same thing

konii.gay

[olive sable]

konii.gay should redirect to ableos

[sage crag]

konii.gay should redirect to localhost

[opaque sigil]

i guess the idea initially was to limit it but then they gave up on that

close enough

[olive sable]

why localhost?

[opaque wharf]

But why localhost tho?

[opaque sigil]

why not

[amber fractal]

Good news, it still exists

[opaque wharf]

Yeah, fair enough tbh

[opaque sigil]

i did that with a bunch of subdomains and nginx, was pretty nice

[sage crag]

wikipedia says that it was never only for lgbtq people, but such a restriction was considered in its creation

[olive sable]

how much?

my budget is 5 bucks

[opaque wharf]

Minimum is 15 usually

[olive sable]

fuck

[opaque wharf]

If less than 5 char its skyrocket

[sage crag]

$28

[olive sable]

thats a scam

fuck .gay

[sage crag]

obviously

[opaque wharf]

Premium name baby

[opaque wharf]

So, you're also gay Sam?

[sage crag]

its a shame yuri.gay appears to be a parked domain

[opaque sigil]

$28 a year damn

that's a lot lower than i expected

for konii.gay

[amber fractal]

[opaque wharf]

Same

[olive sable]

no?
wdym?

[sage crag]

check the small text

[opaque wharf]

Was expecting at least 70

[amber fractal]

I'm fully aware as I use this site for my own stuff

[sage crag]

like its not even https

[opaque wharf]

I didn't see the dot

[olive sable]

[opaque wharf]

GoDaddy?

[olive sable]

[sage crag]

they're gonna steal my credit card

[opaque wharf]

The companies that are notorious for keeping the domain hostage

[sage crag]

well the actual site is 404

[amber fractal]

o7

[sage crag]

its registered, but whoever registered it has a dead server

[amber fractal]

yuri.shop is suprigingly just available

[opaque wharf]

Lemme guess, around 50$?

[olive sable]

my government apparenly has their own domain website

[amber fractal]

[olive sable]

500???????

[sage crag]

money

[sage crag]

4 letter domain

i imagine they have algorithms that detect high valued domains

dunno how one would manage it

[opaque wharf]

Not bad, off by 1 order of magnitude. Astronomers calls that basically the same thing

[sage crag]

no one likes bwaa

[opaque sigil]

anything with a somewhat short and/or common name gets insta sniped

[opaque wharf]

Or sold at higher price

[olive sable]

[sage crag]

osu.gay is also cheap

[opaque wharf]

Wow, really? Not touching 50?

[amber fractal]

bwaa.moe already exists, a certian chatter has that one

[sage crag]

why are we ing at this

[sage crag]

$28

[opaque wharf]

You're not buying it?

[sage crag]

no

i can spend money on things that are important, like caffeine

[olive sable]

konii.dev is 6 bucks

[sage crag]

rude

[olive sable]

wdym rude?

[opaque wharf]

So...

[sage crag]

mm insert clrf into domain name

browsers strip these by default bwaaa

[opaque sigil]

keep in mind if you try to do anything funky with your domain any browser will just refuse to go there

[opaque wharf]

I was thinking emoji

[amber fractal]

godaddy I'm pretty sure prices based off of how popular it is, so don't use that one for searching so we can keep 0.01 rates if they exist

[olive sable]

hmmm

[sage crag]

bot link

[opaque sigil]

[amber fractal]

that's correct yeah, it does just look like random chars

[opaque sigil]

how tf do you strip boldness from terminal output

[sage crag]

all ansi or just boldness?

[opaque wharf]

But wouldn't it be nice if you can just say visit us at blazingfast🔥🔥🔥.xyz

[opaque sigil]

just boldness

[olive sable]

that took a couple rereads to understand

[amber fractal]

It does work, it just converts to that text under the hood

source is that I used it in a subdomain

[sage crag]

awa_bwaa_erm | sed -r 's/\x1B\[[0-9;]*[mK]//g' or something

[olive sable]

[sage crag]

ermplode

[opaque wharf]

🔥🪨🌊🌀 is a good domain name for avatar TLA

[opaque sigil]

it works (i think)

[amber fractal]

insert incorrect buzzer noise

[sage crag]

pwa

[hoary lion]

ah that time of year

[opaque sigil]

okay yeah it works

[hoary lion]

pls cloudflare release https://downloadmorevram.com

[sage crag]

i need to download more vram

i have zero vram

[olive sable]

you have shared ram iirc

[opaque wharf]

My VRAM is also my RAM

[olive sable]

fi you share your ram you can have 128GB vram

kinda

[amber fractal]

do it yourself

[hoary lion]

terrible scam like website name

[desert plaza]

idk seems pretty trustworthy

[amber fractal]

For anyone's refernce I'm checking via porkbun

#programming in a nutshell
-# This is the last one I'll clog the channel with

[olive sable]

bot?

[amber fractal]

check gen

[olive sable]

ah wtf

they even have nitro supposedly

[sage crag]

u smell, get outta here

[amber fractal]

@rare bridge once your done with gen

[olive sable]

thanks cloud

[sage crag]

awa

thankies

[olive sable]

awa

[amber fractal]

awa

[olive sable]

[sage crag]

orber

[opaque wharf]

[hoary lion]

what is this creature

[sage crag]

jorb (small)

[hoary lion]

awa

[olive sable]

my collsion is phasing through shit if i do more than 45degree angle to the normal bwaa

[opaque sigil]

then just don't

[olive sable]

it seems to be related to

if
(
    aabb.max.x >= pathMin.x &&
    aabb.min.x <= pathMax.x &&
    aabb.max.z >= pathMin.z &&
    aabb.min.z <= pathMax.z
)

but i dont get why

im trying to check if the aabb overlaps with the path before doing any expensive math

glm::vec3 pathMin = glm::min(position, endpos);
glm::vec3 pathMax = glm::max(position, endpos);

so like these are the path square

[opaque sigil]

what about the y dimension

[olive sable]

i decided i dont care about y

[hoary lion]

i dont know alot but this is probably why circle hitbox is always superior

[olive sable]

the movement vector doenst use y anyways

[olive sable]

cirlcles are easier sometimes ye, but not useable here

[opaque wharf]

Congrats, you made 3d screeps

[opaque sigil]

i'd love to help but i don't do graphics

[hoary lion]

i mean the only reasonable problem is because the square has longer diagonal

[opaque sigil]

funny enough i use gpus for everything but the one reason they exist in the first place

[olive sable]

this isnt even graphics lmao

[hoary lion]

which makes it weirdly clipped through other edges

[opaque sigil]

collision is close enough

[hoary lion]

and maybe phase

[olive sable]

endpos is just position + movement

and movement is normailzed

[hoary lion]

awa

idk c++ game engine

from scratch moemnt

[opaque sigil]

could it have something to do with the use of >= and <= ?

[olive sable]

hmmm

[opaque wharf]

For collision, I think it should be inclusive yeah

[olive sable]

i might have figured out the issue

the recursion usses an offset

[hoary lion]

[olive sable]

that didnt completely fix it

but adding a paddign of 1 fixed it

i wont question why cuz i dont know

glm::vec3 pathMin = glm::min(startpos, endpos) - glm::vec3(1);
glm::vec3 pathMax = glm::max(startpos, endpos) + glm::vec3(1);

padding

If i want a real answer on why this happens id probably have to draw it out but i really cant be bothered

[nocturne olive]

Sillied

If it works it works

[opaque wharf]

Finally TeamGroup is making my life easier. The P250Q SSD will now help paired with keys that is already deployed

[tacit plover]

Oh

It's called visual studio code

[amber fractal]

vs and vsc are different mhm

[opaque sigil]

java vs javascript moment

[tacit plover]

Finally set up git

Not sure if I did it right though

Let's say I have a folder with all the files and inside it is the .git folder

Is the repository the whole file or just the .git

[opaque sigil]

The whole folder, .git contains all the data to manage the different versions of the repository

[tacit plover]

I see

And I suppose the repository should be a different folder from the Godot Project folder

[opaque sigil]

No

You want git to see all the relevant changes (unless you mean it's a subfolder in which case I guess why not)

[tacit plover]

[opaque sigil]

git tracks anything that is at the same level as the .git folder or below

Well, unless you tell it to ignore certain files

[tacit plover]

Alright I'll change that

So how does git work

It just registers the changes that happen?

[sage crag]

filesystem magic

[tacit plover]

And how does git and github work together

[sage crag]

github is a service that hosts git repositories

[tacit plover]

Alright thanks

And what does committing do

It creates a new version with all the accumulated changes done so far?

[opaque sigil]

Pretty much yeah, it's not a complete version but more like a new point in time that contains the changes since the previous commit

So you end up with a sort of chain of changes aka what people like to call the "commit history"

[tacit plover]

And what would be considered a new version

[opaque sigil]

There's none technically, it's all incremental changes down to the very first commit

I mean if you want to you can treat each commit as a new version

Git allows you to attach tags to them for example

You can pick any point in time via a certain commit and call that your new version

[amber fractal]

git acts like a timeline pretty much, including diverging and merging separate paths together.

commits are just the steps you take across each

[opaque sigil]

That's a good way of describing it

I should sleep

[gritty dust]

You should

does anyone know what I should code next btw? because I'm lost man

I finally got my GitHub account back and idk what to do lol

[amber fractal]

I got a random idea that isn't useful at all

[opaque sigil]

Write a linker

[amber fractal]

Thinking about hardcoded LLMs that include the entire dataset. Would it be larger or smaller than the dataset itself?

[opaque sigil]

Anyways, gn chat

[amber fractal]

It's that one meme of sending over an AI prompt to generate the current video frame taken to its limit.

[amber fractal]

gn Toast

[olive sable]

Imma also hit the hay viscoelastic polyurethane foam

Goodnight

[tacit plover]

I clicked the commit button and it's been committing changes for like half an hour

[olive sable]

Thats not supposed to happen

It ussualy take 2 seconds

[tacit plover]

Ah nvm I closed something and it stopped

I clicked it again and it's doing the same thing

I don't get how this works

[amber fractal]

Can't help you there, I usually just use the CLI

VSC users I summon thee

[opaque sigil]

It just calls the cli internally

[olive sable]

werent you asleep

[opaque sigil]

Probably committing a bunch of build files

You see

[olive sable]

Wasnt i asleep?

[opaque sigil]

I unfortunately am what they call an idiot

[olive sable]

Same

[ruby timber]

[olive sable]

Cant sleep, imma watch some anime ig

[olive sable]

[ruby timber]

"Can't sleep" -> it's morning
Hmm I wonder why

Hi Sam :aijri

aijri

I like that

[olive sable]

Its only 7.40am

I went to bed at 8.30 yesterday

[ruby timber]

Yeah

[olive sable]

It being morning doesnt latter cuz my blinds keep all the light out

[amber fractal]

Morning Sam .sh

totally morning

[olive sable]

Not for you lol

[opaque sigil]

I have the bad habit of nerdsniping myself at night and then it's suddenly 7am

[amber fractal]

Yeah no, I should be eeping frfr

[olive sable]

Do americans have rolling shutters on their houses?

[amber fractal]

I've seen a bunch, depends on the place

[olive sable]

I just spen 7 hiurs in things i thought would take 2

[amber fractal]

Some have shutters, some have none and some just have curtians

[olive sable]

I dont mean shutters as in those paper thingies. I mean the ones thatroll up into your roof

[amber fractal]

An option not listed is non rolling shutters, I've seen some of those as well in larger houses

[amber fractal]

ah

I dumb

I think I'd need a photo tbh

[olive sable]

Like this

But in all houses here its built into the wall/roof

[amber fractal]

None as a window cover

[olive sable]

So yall just perish in the sunlight when its morning?

[amber fractal]

I personally employ blackout curtians

[olive sable]

Better than nothing

But thise have cracks iirc

[amber fractal]

Best comparison I got are these bois (Plastic before you ask), they can overlap for close to no light leak.

Man I love opening these like a door

[olive sable]

I have this

[hoary lion]

spam pog

[olive sable]

Pog

[amber fractal]

These do not open nvm

At least in this photo

I've seen ones that do

[olive sable]

They dont? It has a hinge in the left

[amber fractal]

I was thinking that as well

I guess then we get to play the game of how to open the center one

[olive sable]

The ginge is on the left side

I dont like it tho

This is why we only have 2 windows here

[amber fractal]

It is a large wall and glass is more expensive the larger it is

so I get it

[olive sable]

Thats just being cheap. For houses made of paper you gotta justify the 6 figure price somewhere

[amber fractal]

When I try and redo it with 2 I question if the standard sizing even exists

I'm not convinced it does so you'd just be removing a window entirly

[olive sable]

Hmmm

Idk

[amber fractal]

or uneven which is a fate worse than death

[olive sable]

Just put 2 big windows in like in my room

I got about 1.3m x 3m

[amber fractal]

If I were designing this, it would be single pane

rolling shutter because no other option would work

anyways

[olive sable]

Single panes of that size dont open well tho, unless you dont wantto open the windows

[amber fractal]

those don't open as is

[olive sable]

But why?

Oh ye yall dont have "german windows"

[olive sable]

Tilt

[amber fractal]

Faucet

[amber fractal]

True, but looks like this opens to the left

[olive sable]

Which is stupid

why did it auto do same lol

[olive sable]

idk

hmmm

ask chatgpt im not very creative

im good at doing creative stuff with an idea, but not with getting the idea itself

[gritty dust]

lol chatgpt isn't creative either, it just gives crappy ideas lol

[gritty dust]

sameee

welcome to Jetbrains

[glass flower]

oh.. you bought a jetbrains license and it just comes with AI credits?

i never got into the jetbrains stuff.. i just use vscode

[dry charm]

Yeah https://www.jetbrains.com/all/

[glass flower]

300€ a year

[dry charm]

it has a continuous discount

so more years, more discount

third year is just 173€

[glass flower]

still a lot

[dry charm]

Also student product pack has grandfathering

The thing is, it is very worth it for me, cause I can use ANY jetbrains IDE for profressional

like does not matter what project, where, I can just legally use it cause it is mine

[glass flower]

not sure it works like that if you work for a business.. they might still need to pay for seats even if you have your own license

you can setup tasks that can run any kind of command prompt command

[old totem]

how

[glass flower]

make a file called .vscode/task.json

[olive sable]

[old totem]

alright

[glass flower]

{
    // See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
    // for the documentation about the tasks.json format
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "build",
            "group": "build",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "scons",
            "args": [
                // enable for debugging with breakpoints
                "target=template_debug",
                "dev_build=yes",
                "compiledb=yes",
                "use_hot_reload=yes",
                "debug_symbols=yes"
            ],
            "problemMatcher": "$msCompile"
        },
        {
            "label": "build-release",
            "group": "build",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "scons",
            "args": [
                // enable for debugging with breakpoints
                "production=yes",
                "target=template_release"
            ],
            "problemMatcher": "$msCompile"
        }
    ]
}
``` then you can make different elements in them. here is a example where i build a project using it and scons

type: shell command: whatever
are the important bits

[old totem]

is that a function

[glass flower]

then you can just press F1 and task

[glass flower]

wdym function?

[old totem]

do i copy this in there?

[old totem]

the commands

[glass flower]

it depends on what you want to do. this is my build task. it builds my project using the args and scons

[old totem]

no like

[glass flower]

what command prompt do you want to run?

[old totem]

can u make an example code inside a cpp file

that will run a command prompt

[old totem]

"tesseract test.png tesseract-result"

[glass flower]

you can't invoke vscode tasks using cpp files. there also wouldn't really be a need since you can just call cmd's using cpp itself

[old totem]

i meant like doing the prompt automatically

[opaque wharf]

Fitting username

[opaque wharf]

Are you not old enough to have used that kind of PC Sam?

[olive sable]

nope

[glass flower]

not really sure about the second part. but you could do:

{
    // See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
    // for the documentation about the tasks.json format
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "tesseract",
            "group": "build",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "tesseract",
            "args": [
                "test.png",
                "tesseract-result"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

this would be the equivalent of your command prompt command

[olive sable]

im from 2007

[old totem]

alright i understand, how then can i call that

[glass flower]

#programming message

F1 and then run tasks

or you make a shortcut for it

[stark needle]

God no

https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/1lzkqri/xai_rolls_out_grok_companions_feature_with_3d/

[old totem]

ohhh

[olive sable]

hi shadow

[stark needle]

Grok ai waifu😭😭

[olive sable]

did you sleep?

[old totem]

thanks i think

[glass flower]

neuro is better

[stark needle]

kind of

[olive sable]

nice png of a video player?

[old totem]

but i think im just onna have to find a tessract library

[glass flower]

oh wait.. tesseract is a OCR tool? you do know there is already a library for it

[olive sable]

fair

[old totem]

thats the thing but idk how to

[olive sable]

my bad, dont execute me mods

[old totem]

theres not a lot of tutorials for it

[glass flower]

well you include "include/tesseract" in your project and build it with your project (also the src directory i guess) you don't need the CLI version of it

[olive sable]

this is 100% incel bait

[old totem]

yeah thats the issue 😭 the include is not including correctly

[olive sable]

my headphones died bwaa

[glass flower]

well.. then fix your build system Sam can tell you a handful about including libraries

[olive sable]

uhhh

[old totem]

uhhh

[glass flower]

[olive sable]

so #include only looks in folders you included

[opaque wharf]

If you're from 2027 I'd be more shocked

[glass flower]

how about you show us how your folders for your project look like and what build system you are using

[olive sable]

for exampl i do -I./src/includein my build command

[glass flower]

where is the tesseract folder

[opaque wharf]

Shocking

[old totem]

baseapi.h doesnt even exist

idk where the download is

[olive sable]

ah

[glass flower]

you have glew,glm,sdl2,tinygltf

[olive sable]

i do

[glass flower]

the github

https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/tree/main

[olive sable]

it works the same way

you just need the file

[glass flower]

and the source

[olive sable]

[glass flower]

in the repository there are 2 folders you want. include/tesseract and src

[olive sable]

its 12am so im debating if its worth going to bed now or in the evening. considering im awake from 6pm

[opaque wharf]

Sleep

Just don't look at screeps

[olive sable]

i havent looked at screeps in days

im in a game-jam now

[glass flower]

they are all dead

[olive sable]

tbh they might all have died by now

[opaque wharf]

Sam finally locked in

[olive sable]

they seem alive

[glass flower]

a little crowded... but they seem.. fine

[olive sable]

ish

[opaque wharf]

Also, rather than pointing the repo, it's best to just use the release
https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/releases

[glass flower]

that also works

[opaque wharf]

Because you may need to checkout the working tag/branch

[olive sable]

oh ye i forgot, they've been broken for liek 3 days

[glass flower]

i can't get my external miners to properly respawn... they just keep assigning themself to the same room... maybe i fixed it this time. but i always need to wait for the top external miner to die to test

[olive sable]

idk what broke but opening the script to look at it made the error stop appearing

javascript is such bullshit

[opaque wharf]

You just come back from C++ insanity that they are afraid of you now

[olive sable]

these errors are even more mysterious than C++

[glass flower]

it tells you the exact line it breaks on

wdym

[olive sable]

in C++ errors would get fixed by adding randon prints. in js you just need to look at and it dissapears like santa

[opaque wharf]

Technically it's easy to point out. It is at main.loop:120:26

[glass flower]

in role.builder at line 21 character 24

[opaque wharf]

There, you are trying to access .length for null

[olive sable]

but its compaining about a .lenght. that isnt there

if its fixed thats fine ig

[opaque wharf]

26 is not the line

120 is

[glass flower]

can you show a bit more above and below it?

[glass flower]

line 24 is correct you are looking at the wrong error

[opaque wharf]

Oh yeah, sorry

[olive sable]

there are only 74 lines

i used to have a .lenth before there but i removed it. ig the server wasnt up to date?

for fucks sake

@rare bridge @real sierra

@cobalt vessel @open copper

[glass flower]

another one

[opaque wharf]

why no @ moderator ?

[olive sable]

that exists?

[opaque wharf]

Ye

[olive sable]

huh

[amber fractal]

not recomnended

[opaque wharf]

Which is why I'm asking

Why?

[olive sable]

wh else do we have?

@fair cipher ?

just anyone

[fair cipher]

im here

[amber fractal]

I guess we wait

[glass flower]

are you gonna shoot soup

[tender river]

thanks temmie

[glass flower]

[opaque wharf]

WHY?

[glass flower]

i'll be honest... the only issue i could imagine is that maybe your creep died but you still have a stale reference to it?

[amber fractal]

Generally moderator ping isn't recommended due to pinging all mods. Much better to ping active mods, last person that did that got flamed.

I should not be awake

[tender river]

good night

[amber fractal]

gn chat

[olive sable]

i should have cleanup code for that

gn iggly

[glass flower]

var next_assignmend = new RoomCoord();
            foreach (var item in rooms_list)
            {
                var room_sources = all_miner_sources.GetOrCreateObject(item);
                if (!room_sources.Keys.Any())
                {
                    next_assignmend = new RoomCoord(item);
                    found_room = true;
                    break;

                            count_in_room++;
                        }
                    }
                }
                if (count_in_room < room_sources.Keys.Count())
                {
                    next_assignmend = new RoomCoord(item);
                    found_room = true;
                    break;
                }
                if (found_room) break;
            }

            if (!found_room)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("No free rooms found, should not spawn external miner.. pls fix. Exiting...");
                return;
            }

why doesn't this work...

[stark needle]

mods when mods pinged

[olive sable]

idk, i dont do much js

what exaclty i s broken?

[glass flower]

its a logic issue

its assigning new external miners to the same room

even tho there is already a miner there

[olive sable]

keep the creeps assigned in memory i geuss?

[glass flower]

but they die

then they need to be reassigned

thats the issue

i am already doing it through memory

[opaque wharf]

If creeps can access each other memory, then make the list of all assigned room

Then when you want to assign a creep to a room, check if the room already has someone assigned or no

So the check should be just [room1, room2, room3].includes(room1) or [room1, room2, room3].includes(room4)

[glass flower]

i did that.. and it didn't work for somereason

[opaque wharf]

Well, good luck solving the mysteries

[olive sable]

oh my room controller is at level 3 apparently

[old totem]

okay there are legit zero tutorials on even beginning to donwload the libararies for these

[olive sable]

time to build weaponry

[glass flower]

mine is at 5... i can also claim another room now but i don't want to deal with how that will break my whole codebase yet

[old totem]

but what i meant earlier was like, i click the exe and then it runs command prompts by itself

is that possible?

[glass flower]

you don't want to use exe's in your own program

include tesseract how you included SDL or glew

[opaque wharf]

Linux pipe would like to have a word

[glass flower]

its the same process basically

[glass flower]

linux pipe

[olive sable]

2 of my walls got destroyed, i wonder why

[glass flower]

invader

probably

[old totem]

i really am following it tho

but it just does this

[glass flower]

you need to include it in your build system

not just in your scripts

[old totem]

yeah here

[glass flower]

thats not your build system

thats just vscode

[old totem]

opencv worked yesterday with this

[scarlet arch]

I see this is still #screeps :D

[old totem]

where i find that

[glass flower]

it depends on what you are using to build the project... cmake,meson or whatever

[olive sable]

if it was an invader id be dead cuz i have no defense

[glass flower]

i feel like you skipped a few tutorials when you started using c++ including libraries is like one of the first things you are tasked to do

(its always a pain... but its something you need to learn)

i think i fixed it

[olive sable]

you need to include the path the the headerile in your buidl command

-I is for include

capital i

then the path

[glass flower]

or you use a sane build system that does it for you

[olive sable]

nahhh

imagine not doing it yourslef

lazy ahh

[glass flower]

he also needs to build tesseract as a seperate project..

and then link it

[olive sable]

[glass flower]

it never changed

[olive sable]

iirc cloud's server is up now so ill join sometime

im just busy now

im always busy for some reason, and its always mny own fault

[glass flower]

it is.. but my code isn't ready to start a new. and would just explode and i don't have time

[olive sable]

huh, new season of dan da dan and new cour of dr. stone

dont mind if i do

[old totem]

i just need the library

[glass flower]

well but the library needs to be build and linked to your project

its not like glm or sdl2 or glew. it has a bit more to it from what i saw

i mean.. i guess you could just include the dll itself in your project. but you still need to link it somehow

[old totem]

i'll try both

[glass flower]

you should really try to learn how your build system works and include the project properly

its a valuable experience

[opaque wharf]

Oh, really? Is it not pinned?

[opaque wharf]

Read the manga instead

[opaque wharf]

I'd still recommend meson

[olive sable]

of which one?

[opaque wharf]

Or watch Gintama. Peak anime

[opaque wharf]

Both

[olive sable]

bruh

[opaque wharf]

Reading is fun

[olive sable]

i have read the solo leveling manga, but its too much effort to replace casual watching

ill read a manga every now and then, but watching anime is just easier

[opaque wharf]

Fair point. I get impatient so that's why I prefer reading

[tender river]

i feel the opposite anime is long but you can read a manga very quickly

[opaque wharf]

Yeah, which is the point that Sam made. You can watch it casually

[tender river]

apparently glsl supports logical xor

(i would normally just use !=)

[olive sable]

is it even worth using xor over !=?

shoudlnt it compile to about the same thing?

[tender river]

it should

probably done for consistency

[olive sable]

its just for when you're feeling fancy

[tender river]

its for when you're feeling happy

a != b

a ^^ b

[olive sable]

but we're programmers tho

we're basicly shadowbanned from that

[midnight sigil]

taiwan company made an ssd that can explode(hard reset) itself

[tender river]

just microwave it duh

make a microwave your pc case

[opaque wharf]

Is that the TeamGroup one?

Because it is quite useful

[inner pike]

reminds me of the opera gx feature where they delete your browsing history after your death ( Multiple weeks of inactivity )

[midnight sigil]

should set it to one day of inactivity

my browser history can't be seen by anyone else

[tender river]

mine can

[midnight sigil]

[olive sable]

My browser history is supposed to be private, but we all know it isnt

My isp probably knows everything

[rigid snow]

put your browser history on your website, updated real time

[tender river]

isp only gets the domain names

[tender river]

too much effort

[olive sable]

The most emberasing part is probably how much i go to chatgpt.com

[rigid snow]

only when using tls

[midnight sigil]

it's about time to build our own underwater/underground fibres system

for maximum privacy

[tender river]

who doesnt use tls lol

[opaque wharf]

Not with DoH

[tender river]

also cloudflare now supports esni or whatever its called now

[olive sable]

The Neuro network?

[tender river]

yes even with doh

[midnight sigil]

[opaque wharf]

...how?

[tender river]

you have to tell the server the domain name you're connecting to in the tls handshake

[rigid snow]

i don’t. i access sensitive info and services through plain http

[opaque wharf]

Which is on top of HTTPs

[tender river]

recently tls got an extension that allows encrypting it but it's very new, cloudflare recently enabled it though

[midnight sigil]

and we establish network connections by a decentralized P2P system, which will be called Neurolink

Oh wait I just realized what you mean

oh right its called ech

i decided to revisit the meson branch and noticed there's a clangd file instead of the expected .clangd in there, no wonder clangd was freaking out constantly

[undone bramble]

most disks do that already with OPAL/HW enc. another with layer can also be luKS

[uneven pulsar]

but i've seen it

it was pretty tame

[midnight sigil]

[midnight sigil]

they're only encryptions, it still holds the data and have chances to be read, this disk simply fry the chips upon user input

perfect for some special uses

[old totem]

-L apparently not a command

[opaque sigil]

meant to say to put that at the end of the gcc command mb

[old totem]

oh mb

still no work

[opaque sigil]

wait no it should be -L C:/msys64/mingw64/lib

undefined reference to `WinMain'

how are you defining your main function

all good dw

you might be able to get away with just adding -Wl,-subsystem,console to the g++ command

windows expects GUI apps to declare their main function as WinMain

but idk how telling it to build a console app works with gdi, feel like it'd break it

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/learnwin32/winmain--the-application-entry-point

[old totem]

yeah..

honestly the hard part isnt even the coding anymore

[opaque sigil]

-W"l,-subsystem,console"

[old totem]

its whatever bullshit linking and include is

[opaque sigil]

this is more windows being super pedantic about you doing things the windows way

[old totem]

man

i had a super fun project idea too

anyways instead of this do you know another way c++ can screenshot my screen

thats the main function i need anyway

[opaque sigil]

i unfortunately do not

[old totem]

its alright

[opaque sigil]

well, not programmatically at least

[old totem]

i think sometimes we just have to give up

i bet you

stinkin python has an easy way to do all the shit i wanna do

[rough bloom]

start another program to do the screenshot and read the image

Heyo I have a question. I am working on this certificate but i have never coded and it is telling me to use get_llm_response but that is not working and the only thing I can get to work is print_llm_response. Am I missing something or did i do this right?

Update the description for the

Rocky Road flavor using get_llm_response()

flavor = "Rocky Road"
prompt = f"Provide a brief description for the {flavor} ice cream flavor"

EDIT THE FOLLOWING CODE

ice_cream_flavors["Rocky Road"] = print_llm_response (prompt)

do i need to include a library for this?

nope, you just need #include <windows.h> and #include <sstream>

[old totem]

where is the main screenshot code in between of?

[warped narwhal]

just before bmp->save and filename.c_str() replaces the string you have as the filename

[old totem]

its expecting a while

what condition do i put

I forgot a c++ thing as it's been a while since I've used it, here is the thing you actually need:

  unsigned int file_num = 0;
  std::basic_string<TCHAR> filename;
  do {
    std::basic_stringstream<TCHAR> oss;
    oss << L"C:\\Users\\...\\fobbits\\fobbitInfo";
    if (file_num) oss << L'_' << file_num;
    oss << L".png";
    filename = oss.str();
  } while (FileExists(filename.c_str()));

is the syntax right?

it didnt seem to make anything

[warped narwhal]

you use the variable filename.c_str(), not the string L"filename.c_str()"

bmp->Save(filename.c_str(), &encoderID, NULL);

[old totem]

aw man it still made only one png

[warped narwhal]

are you sure that you are running the function more than once?

add std::cout << "I am running the screenshot function" << std::endl; to the start of the function

[old totem]

here is the main func

global_count starts at 0

oh shit it only ran once

[warped narwhal]

[old totem]

does it break out of the while loop

while (FileExists(filename.c_str()));```

[warped narwhal]

is the program exiting? I have a feeling the sleep function is in seconds not milliseconds

[old totem]

milliseconds

[warped narwhal]

so you would be telling it to sleep for 16 minutes

[old totem]

no i tested it before the change

it runs it often

[warped narwhal]

the while loop runs until it finds a filename that doesn't exist yet.

[old totem]

ohhh

probably that then

ohh

it stops at the screenshot func

because it didnt make a new file

[old totem]

how does that work exactly?

ive tested it a bunch now and yeah it gets stuck in that condition

[old totem]

i found a fix....

but you are gonna hate me

[glass flower]

[old totem]

i was desperate

look man

[glass flower]

dude... atleast just use the global_count directly

[old totem]

i hate that these commands are all const

[old totem]

true

but im too far gone now

you are not a coder if you dont hard code anything

[rigid snow]

straight into #programming hall of fame

i don’t think we have that so you’re the first

[amber fractal]

@programminghalloffamebot

[rigid snow]

it’s such an awful execution it’s beautiful

[rigid snow]

i don’t get it

[tender river]

use std::string

(and c_str)

[old totem]

i would need visual aid

its 4am and ive only odne constant coding

[rare bridge]

it might be time for me to move away from chrome

[old totem]

my brain is not cut out for this

[trim valve]

can vouch for firefox

if you're ok with stuff breaking a lot

[tender river]

a lot???

[trim valve]

ok that was badly worded

[rare bridge]

mfw i need hls

[opaque sigil]

Occasionally

[trim valve]

specific things will repeatedly cause issues

[rigid snow]

i am severely addicted to chromium

[rigid snow]

safari

[tender river]

just use mpv for hls

(or vlc or whatever your player of choice is)

[rigid snow]

that statement is so linux user coded

[trim valve]

mpv is fine on windows

[rigid snow]

not what i mean

[rare bridge]

wouldn't work in my use case

[tender river]

also firefox can play hls it just wont open m3u8 as a video but will download it instead i think

[opaque sigil]

iirc there are some extensions to get hls working on firefox?
