Beware of the pianos falling from building windows when you're on the street. You've used your luck quota for a year.

Sometimes I feel I am spread so thin that it's more like quantum particule slicing.

Oh Gosh... Thank you DevRant for making me feel I am not alone...

@DrPenguin @anekix No, that's actually not a genius reflection at all... :-)
VS highlights *everything* you've added/changed since you ever opened the doc in the current session, not caring about compiles, etc.
But I still replied anyway to explain the green highlight for full disclosure haha

I already corrected the error in the code but then reverted the correction to make the screenshot (I guess this is where the green highlight comes from in VS) because I'll include that in the presentation for the project. What a perfect real life educational example for the students, to tell them: yes, the guy in front of them, all teacher he is, makes cow dumb stupid mistakes too, so they don't need to worry haha

Also, sorry no I did not keep the crazy pictures, I was too upset haha. But basically it looked like laws of physics went nuts in terms of energy transfer (for some reasons especially in reflexions... wtf...). Add to this that at that time I did not clamp/gamma remap values in the output PNGs (because, you know, speed programming... And it wasn't supposed to go nuts anyway) and you get those "rainbow" patterns on top of the shapes in the scene.

So first, it's not a global, it's simply the default material in the base Shape class. Nothing fancy because I am just checking how fast and how complicated it is to write a pathtracer from scratch (just the algorithms, no optimizations), before I introduce that with HS students as a project to apply highschool algebra, physics & CS.

Wow, did not expect so much reaction, but that's awesome (I don't feel so much alone anymore haha)!

It's actually a bit more than that. Its graph shows *all* possible "screens" (this is the real cool thing about this simple inequality), and you just select a slice of the graph domain "vertically" that corresponds to "screen" *you* want (among the zillions of screens, and usually people select a handheld calculator-style display of the formula) and that slice's starting y coordinate is in fact calculated based on the encoded screen bits you want (another real cool thing).

Sure you can't copy-pase and expect it to work, but maybe you can copy-paste

I remember doing my first PC LAN (long after my first Atari ST Midi-LAN to play midimaze) with 3 PCs put on planks & trestles. My friend's gf kicked the leg with the hoover and the pc towers and the CRTs fell like a fucking avalanche of domino shits on the ground.. I thought I would cry. We put everything back and plugged the electricity back on... Absolutely no problem, they booted without any pb. Those were the days.

I would say that 99% of those 20% love cats but know better not to own one of those little devils 🐱😈

A programmer just had a kid. A friend asks her: "Is it a boy or a girl?" and she replies: "Yes".

It's like a Y2k bug everyday

In fact, you got it the wrong way: SSH and OMG-vi are resp. gran'pa and dinosaurs technologies compared to the usage of USB sticks. But age does not mean lack of efficiency (stealth in your case), that's all. Ahh... kids...

Better not ask for four beers, or you'll get punched

Oh I know, it's an API service for downloading spining gifs...

This should be used as lesson #0 of all webdesign in all Universities

Happened to me regularly until my gfx driver (intel integrated whatever) fucked my partition completely (see one of my previous rants...).
I reinstalled Windows with a clean (non-HP) DVD, installed drivers manually with nothing more than needed, and it's all good since then.

The time I learnt about custom error codes, I was thinking what a cool way to send messages through my company's web app to weird guys like me!
Even posted a job ad in there (API response codes) as well as in the js console (Web app)... Though I never received any reply... *sigh*...

My wife has forced me to set my alarm clock 30min earlier than hers in the morning for this exact reason

"You can search online later, if your PC ever restart again"

@cors Actually we also have big face-clocks (with hands) in some places (they are all network clocks) and I have noticed they have been resetting quite a lot these days (you know, they suddenly start spinning 12 hours at high-speed to reset their time). So maybe a problem with a time server or whatever?
That is funny the digital clocks don't actually reject these non-sensical hours-minutes in software though...

no, it's in the correct orientation. I also thought of a prank from the maintenance dept when I saw it at first, but the 1 would indeed be wrong, and the clock in the meeting room was displaying 93hours-something anyway :-)
Fun fact: the only clock in the building that shows the correct time is the one in the IT dept office space...

I hope that some OOP teachers in HS/univ will use this as a teaching example

when I first looked at your screen I thought it was cracked

He is one of these guys who thinks he can build a 100 tables DB just because he opened Excel once...
