My laptop screen fell off because it was apparently just glued with double-sided tape; I just put it back and everything works fine. If that happened with my Apple laptop, it would go to the trash or cost me a fortune to fix. Honestly, I prefer the first scenario, where I just sl…
I am wondering why client developers' style of programming is so different from server (backend) style. I am looking at the client code, and it is C++; however, it feels alien and wrong. Global variables, nested if statements, awkward interfaces, singletons everywhere, and multip…
Udio just released v1.5, one huge thing they improved is audio quality. I have mixed feelings of excitement and feeling behind all the technological advancements.
I was wondering how many times I should say something or message something until people would, with a 95% chance, get it and not be annoying? The information was in the JIRA ticket, and I explicitly mentioned it, and still people missed it. What is the sweet spot - five times?
Normally, I just keep the tab open and at some moment I get back to it, but with YouTube videos, it is annoying that it just starts autoplaying as soon as I open the tab, so I add the video to the watch later playlist and get back to it in 2 months, then I completely forgot why I…
I think it’s okay quality for voice acting to use Voice Changer Client and RVC models. Anyway, currently I don’t have a budget to hire voice actors.
I just cannot keep up with everything that is happening in the world: Donald Trump assassination attempt, Biden drops from the race, CrowdStrike issue, secret service director steps down, and more and more and more…
Shell I write a DAW from scratch instead of making games? LOL
Did you know you can use ChatGPT 4o without a subscription? I just canceled mine.
My whole life, I’ve been told that if you believe in something, it will become true. However, my life experience tells me that no matter how much you believe, if it’s false, it will remain false. If someone gives you a shiny yellow piece of metal and tells you it’s gold, but it’s…
I am considering starting to brand my games under “One Electron Universe studio”. I bought two domain names: 1eu-games.com and 1eu.games. I think they are awesome domain names.
It took 35 minutes just to actually start working. Windows updates, some connectivity issues, reboots. Hey, no complaints, I have been paid for that downtime.
It is always stumbling for me to know how I should write a float zero literal: 0.f or .0f. Probably I’ll do it as 0.0f to be symmetrically unhappy.
It is good that we have a bit of competition in the LLM space: ChatGPT, Meta.ai, Claude.
Yesterday I watched some interviews about LongCOVID, one thing I learned is that the more effort you put into getting out of the condition, the deeper you are getting into it, it’s like quicksand or non-Newtonian fluid. The way to get out is to pace your way out.
It was easy to fix my Windows PC from the CrowdStrike fiasco BSOD; the biggest challenge was to find the screen that my PC is connected to.
I feel companies start saving on gold, a lot of my electronics have got oxidized contacts. Or is it a conspiracy that they save on gold, and an additional bonus that customers need to periodically update their products.
C++ is so big I am slowly forgetting different bits of the language: [[maybe_unused]]
I prefer compilation errors over link errors, and the reason is mostly historical. In the past, link errors were really hard to figure out. They would spew out mangled symbols and did not provide clear direction on which source files were affected, which is understandable since t…
I have a love-hate relationship with regular expressions.
Be smart. Learn from my mistakes. It’s been more than a year since I got COVID (last year at the end of February). I’m still fighting with residual symptoms. It doesn’t sound bad, but it is bad. Phantom smells, brain fog, abdominal pain, chest pain—a lot of symptoms are gone. B…
BTW, never shortcut the UVing stage, you may end up doing texturing multiple times.
I am looking at AI-generated art and listening to AI-generated music, obviously using ChatGPT and other LLMs. It is so familiar and on the other side, it has some alien vibe. I am wondering if consuming generative content may have some psychological side effects. I doubt it, but …
I found a use for the Instagram Reels feed. It has ads, and there are many ads for non-existent games. I realized that this provides great insight into what players crave and will enjoy playing. Ads cost money, so they have to work; otherwise, it’s a waste of money for the compan…
Unreal Engine’s C++ is odd. Unreal Engine has its own garbage collection, and it periodically eats my objects and crashes. Sometimes I need to create objects dynamically, and they are floating from one entity to another. For example, a mob has items inside, then I loot them and i…
