i think part of the problem is that there are kinda too many of them that do the same thing

Aqua•7/17/24, 9:07 PM

twitter, threads, mastodon, bluesky

Aqua•7/17/24, 9:07 PM

competition is good but there's only gonna be a couple that have the most popularity and then the rest kinda have a niche userbase

Aqua•7/17/24, 9:09 PM

now granted im not exactly the most qualified to talk about that, i only have a twitter account, but speaking from an outsider's perspective, they all seem to do the same thing (minus the decentralized nature of the last two), and twitter is bad enough, so it doesn't seem like there is much point signing up for other ones

alexrp•7/18/24, 3:40 AM

just getting off social media altogether is probably the right call

Perksey•7/18/24, 3:51 AM

probably, but then I’d have no communication with the outside world lol

Hanprogramer•7/18/24, 6:49 AM

the color scheme I unconsciously choose for testing started to make sense

Hanprogramer•7/18/24, 6:50 AM

Still gotta fix the positioning...

Vazde•7/18/24, 3:35 PM

Praised be the watermelon I was just cutting! Spent an hour baffled by why a simple

Interlocked.Read(ref Unsafe.AsRef<ulong>(ptr)

Interlocked.Read(ref Unsafe.AsRef<ulong>(ptr)

was throwing an access violation on shared memory, but regular memory access wasn't. It wasn't an alignment issue. I opened the memory with only read access, but internally that does a CompareExchange, which needs write access. Sigh...

Anyone have any ideas why blender opens with only a gray screen? Seems to be to do with the nvidia dgpu. If I force integrated, it works fine. It also worked fine with my AMD eGPU. Ran it in GPU debugging mode and there's a fair few warnings but I don't see much that should be preventing it from running. Likely a driver thing of some sorts but I'd be surprised if the OpenGL driver on the Nvidia GPU is borked as I test it often with my own programs

Perksey•7/18/24, 3:59 PM

have you tried renderdoc

Perksey•7/18/24, 3:59 PM

yeah that's weird tbh

Perksey•7/18/24, 3:59 PM

I assume your display is running off integrated?

Aqua•7/18/24, 3:59 PM

hah, if only

Aqua•7/18/24, 3:59 PM

yeah

Aqua•7/18/24, 4:00 PM

it's one of those hybrid laptops

Perksey•7/18/24, 4:00 PM

could be a weird misconfiguration then, or maybe blender picking the wrong GPU and it for some reason not communicating with the other GPU?

Perksey•7/18/24, 4:00 PM

could look at NVIDIA Optimus settings as well

Perksey•7/18/24, 4:00 PM

but yeah that's weird

Aqua•7/18/24, 4:01 PM

I forced windows to pick the iGPU and it worked, but forcing the dGPU didn't - so yeah seems like that could be the case somehow

Aqua•7/18/24, 4:01 PM

There's not much configuration of the dGPU but I'll look through the control panel to see if anything is amiss

Aqua•7/18/24, 4:05 PM

If I plug back in the eGPU then it works again. Strange

Aqua•7/18/24, 4:06 PM

...ish

Aqua•7/18/24, 4:06 PM

Crashed as soon as I tried to get it to do anything that actually involved the GPU

Aqua•7/18/24, 4:06 PM

...Sigh, I'll just reinstall blender. Probably some weird shader issue or something.

Rahkiin•7/18/24, 6:56 PM

@Aqua recently updated nvidia drivers? Heard some games crashing on them too

Aqua•7/18/24, 6:57 PM

possibly - the drivers are OEM so they update whenever there's a windows update

Aqua•7/18/24, 6:57 PM

i'll have to see if i can get it working under fedora

Lyris the KitoriOP•7/18/24, 6:58 PM

i'd reccomend keeping them up to date separately, since windows is always a lil behind

Aqua•7/18/24, 6:59 PM

hmmmmm i'll see where nvidia provides them, its not a geforce gpu

Aqua•7/18/24, 7:01 PM

seemingly last updated a couple months ago

Aqua•7/18/24, 7:01 PM

let's see what a new set of drivers do, i managed to find it on nvidia's page

Aqua•7/18/24, 7:12 PM

alas, that did not work

Aqua•7/18/24, 7:12 PM

ah well this is a later me problem, cheers for the help anyways all

WebDevs discovering Bitmasks

Aqua•7/19/24, 9:41 AM

impractical

I was watching a YTer who's a web dev (Theo) talking about the benefits of type safety in code their code, and how nice it is to change something and then immediately in other places where that code is uses it shows an error.

The video wasnt about this, but this was mentioned in the video.

I'm personally a fan of Theo but I just couldn't shake this from my mind: the thing he's acting so excited about and like it's so revolutionary is literally just code compilation. :kekw: Web dev discovers you can make your code NOT an untyped and unmaintainable mess, touts it as a game-changer. Meanwhile it's the single reason I avoid scripting entirely. Lol

There are still many javascript purists who don't wanna bother with TS and do manual type checking, or none at all (aka "in my mind")

Greem•7/19/24, 3:51 PM

in MY mind those are the people who make the slowest sites ever :LMFAO:

Greem•7/19/24, 3:52 PM

TS is remarkably better than JS but it is only a suggestion because TS transpiles down to JS anyways

MasterMan•7/19/24, 4:02 PM

Well, compiler enforces type safety, but you can still just use "any" or "object" types

Rahkiin•7/19/24, 4:16 PM

same with python

Rahkiin•7/19/24, 4:17 PM

the idea that python is easier because 'it has no types'... except it has types but they are invisible and thus responsibility of the reader and writer

Aqua•7/19/24, 6:30 PM

there are occasions where having "no types" is better imo.

Aqua•7/19/24, 6:30 PM

specifically in scripting environments

Aqua•7/19/24, 6:32 PM

my game has a lot of different types, but also features in-game programming, and we're specifically using a duck-typed language to make it as easy as possible to write stuff quickly

i find it funny that its only marginally more popular now than it was before the release
