My most male trait is the "ye I can do that" attitude abt stuff I have no means of actually knowing whether I can do

#the overconfident megalomania is very hench ya know #my ''''male'''' gender ID is defined like 90% through the attitude and 10% through the physically male-aligned dysphoria #trans #nonbinary #transmasc #'ye I can make a fully functionning custom vtuber in like a month sometime *to learn unreal* (me who barely knows how to navigate #3D software and hasn't rendered or 3D animated anything in years let alone rigged anything ever). #if doig and india can make a custom vtuber set-up in a games engine why shouldn't I be able to do it? I too am a trained 2D animator! #(they've only been working on theirs for god knows how long and there's two of them)' #LOOK I know enough games & 3D ppl to ask any questions I might have #I *have* doigswift's content as a reference re vtube specific workflows that might be useful that I can look up #I know it's possible to do #I know it's learnable skills #I learnt blender in 2 weeks for my so-far-limited purposes a few years ago #it'd be a limited amount of modelling and rigging to do which will be a great project to learn that stuff through #and making it a vtuber that can be run through unreal will work great to add to my virtual production & mocap training #and I'll get a cute vtuber out of it #I THINK IT'S DOABLE #oh oh! also I've learnt C++ before which unreal runs on and I am learning more coding as we speak anyway so that might come in handy too!

i have some questions and i hope you don't take offense, i'm just genuinely curious. is it scary having prosopagnosia, like not being able to recognize your family? do you just see their faces as complete strangers? also are you able to recognize celebrities for who they are or do you rely on something (like tags on tumblr or their voices in shows, etc) to be able to put names to faces? i remember with color rush, the kid could only remember his best friend by his hairstyle and then when his friend got a haircut, he wasn't able to recognize him. is that something you experience, too?

Hi, anon, I don't mind at all! Thank you for your questions. 💜 I'll try and answer them all but my experience with prosopagnosia might not be universal. It's more of a spectrum with some people simply having trouble remembering faces to cases even more severe than what I'm experiencing. If you're curious, the late (and absolutely wonderful) Oliver Sacks talks about it in this short video. He was a neurologist and psychiatrist and also had prosopagnosia.

That being said, I don't think prosopagnosia is scary at all. I've always had it (though there is a version of it that is acquired later in life through trauma and brain damage - that must be incredibly scary) and it's a part of me. Tbh I just always assumed everyone was like me and I was just especially bad at socialising - like there was some secret people refused to share with me. Much later I was in therapy for something unrelated and it came up. Luckily my therapist was a neurologist so she diagnosed me.

It's more... isolating and a bit embarassing. It wasn't so bad when I was younger because you pretty much stick with the same crowd in and outside of school anyway, so you learn how to tell them apart by their clothes and voices and where they sit, what number their sports jersey is etc. It's only ever really bad when unexpected things happen - like someone changing their hair or completely changing the way they look. Or when I meet people where I don't expect them to. I then no longer recognise them and that can lead to some awkwardness (like in the scene you described from Color Rush).

I remember that I once talked to a person who I thought was my dad for a whole few minutes until my actual dad showed up. I about died when I realised (so did the other person lmao).

It only ever became isolating when I went to uni and met lots of new people. I mostly met everyone once, got along just fine and then the next week (or out and about on campus) I no longer recognised them. I didn't make a lot of friends at uni. 🤣

But no, I don't think of family and friends as strangers just because I don't see their faces. Faces aren't really a part of my thought process. You'd probably have trouble telling apart your loved ones by their ankles or wrists but you wouldn't consider them a stranger because of it. Does that make sense?

As for favourite celebrities, it's a mix of voices and features that stand out. Pictures are really bad because then they're not moving and talking and that's such a huge part of what makes someone uniquely beautiful. I often have to ask @cytharat to help me out (and she's wonderfully patient and understanding). Maybe that's why I like making gifs so much?

Also, I like interesting faces and facial features that stand out: noses, moles, scars, asymmetry - things that aren't considered classically beautiful are incredibly beautiful to me because I can actually "see" them.

If all else fails I just compare ears because ears are actually a lot like like fingerprints. 🤣

#prosopagnosia #ask #about me #thank you for your questions #it's so interesting to talk about because we define ourselves so much by what we see and understand #so it never occurred to me that prosopagnosia could be scary #or that not seeing faces would automatically turn people into strangers #but it must be really scary for a non-faceblind person to think about #the best analogy i ever came across for prosopagnosia was #you know how computers have software for certain tasks? #well people have special software for recognising faces #i don't have that software #so for me trying to tell apart faces is like trying to tell apart individual blades of grass lmao

Go is a bad programming language

I need to take a minute to rant about the go language and a few of the many, many things wrong with it.

1. Unused variables are compile-time errors.

So if you're debugging this:

x, y := foo() doSomething(x) doSomething(y)

and you decide to comment out doSomething(x) in order to check something, then hey, your code doesn't compile anymore! No, if you want to comment out a few lines while debugging, you also have to go up and make sure you also remove any declarations or assignments to variables that are only used in that block.

This is absolutely infuriating, and is one of the least developer-friendly features I've ever seen (excluding languages that were explicitly designed to be terrible).

So why did they do it? Why would the designers make such a ridiculous decision? The answer is simple:

2. Go doesn't consistently distinguish assignment from declaration.

Some languages distinguish between declaring a variable (e.g. int x) and setting it (e.g. x = 12); others don't bother and just let x = 12 be declaration if needed. There are pros and cons to both, but Go manages the difficult task of achieving the worst of both worlds.

You can declare var x int and assign x = 12, but you can also combine the two with x := 12 - the := implicitly declares the variable being assigned.

Fortunately, go IS smart enough to not let you double-declare something - var x int; x := 12 is a syntax error.

But go also lets you assign multiple values. What do you think this does?

var x int = 1 x, y := 2, 3 fmt.Println(y) fmt.Println(x)

Did you guess that this is a syntax error? Wrong! It prints 3, then 2 - the := operator is fine with the fact that x already exists, as long as at least one of the variables you're assigning to does in fact need to be declared.

What about this: var x int = 1 if true { x, y := 2, 3 fmt.Println(y) } fmt.Println(x)

If you "the same thing", you're wrong! This one IS a syntax error! Why? Because now that it's in a separate block, that := is now declaring x instead of assigning to it! And the new x is unused, so the compiler can't let you do that! Note, though, that if the first print printed both x and y, the compiler would not have caught that for us. The code would just compile fine and be wrong. That is the golang experience.

So why would a language allow a := that changes meaning but only when there are multiple variables? Simple! It's because:

3. Go has no error handling whatsoever

No exceptions, no maybe monads, no anything. Just a convention that functions that might fail should return a pair of (result, error).

This means code that in a sensible language might look like

print(foo(bar(3), baz("hello")))

in go instead looks like

a, err := bar(3) if err != nil { return err } b, err := baz("hello") if err != nil { return err } c, err := foo(a, b) if err != nil { return err } fmt.Println(c)

Yay boilerplate!

So obviously you need := to allow some things to already exist, otherwise you'd have to give all those errs different names, and who has time to come up with that many variable names?

4. Don't use go.

Anyway, these are just three of the many, many things I hate about go, which also include

Switch statements for values vs for types have almost-but-not-quite identical syntax (they should either be the same or be different, preferably different).

Type switch naming is stupid (sensible languages let you name the variable in each case instead of just renaming the variable once at the beginning).

Unused imports are a compile-time error (so incredibly stupid and frustrating).

Capitalization distinguishes public values from private ones (result: APIs cannot use capitalization in a meaningful way, because by definition every member of the API must be capitalized).

Extremely limited type system (terrible type inference, no generic methods on objects, no co- or contravariance among functions or objects - a function that returns a Square is not a function that returns a Shape and cannot be used as one).

Any public type can be instantiated with a "zero value", so every object method must do something sensible if the object is completely uninitialized (I saw some code in one of go's own built-in libraries that represented "any nonnegative integer or undefined" as a pair of (val int, isZero bool); a value of 0 is undefined unless isZero is true, in which case it means 0. I don't think that would pass code review in any other language at all).

Surprisingly awkward and unintuitive concurrency support for a language that claims to have been built with concurrency in mind.

Weird and inconsistent special magical cases (e.g. if g() returns three arguments and f() takes three arguments, then f(g()) is fine; if g returns two, you can't f(1, g()) or anything like that).

More things that I won't spend any more time writing up, I just needed to get this out of my system.

#it's not often that I use a statically typed language #find errors #and think to myself 'python's type system would've caught that' #also side note I don't think the reason unused variables are a syntax error is actually because they thought about the case I described #I think they just thought 'well production code probably shouldn't define variables it doesn't use so we'll make that a hard requirement' #go was clearly developed by people who don't have a lot of respect for the language's users #Rob Pike (one of the inventors of go) described the target audience of the language with: #'They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software' #unfortunately they failed at that too #I have yet to see anything written in go that I would actually consider 'good software' #it's always bloated and full of boilerplate and hard to follow and frequently concurrent when it doesn't need to be #rants #ok I feel better now that I've ranted about this

Last weekend I was in another town for a birthday and I couldn't pass up the chance to capture the sub-ghz spectrum for a future project. The first image is a 9.5 hour capture of portion of the spectrum from a city of nearly a million people. The second image is 1.5 hours in same band from my home in a town with a population of 6,000.

baffling that on a forum where someone asks for expertise and help on a highly specific technical topic and responders say "i dont know what that is but i googled for 5min and i think its bad"

???? IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHY ARE ANSWERING????

#This is why architects can't be taken seriously #The topic in question is parametric architecture and some genius high intelligence architects responded Don't Know What That Is. Seems Fake #Parametric architecture is just architecture but with a computer and using coding systems to make things better #You can learn by practising #Architecture #like you use software and define a steel beam and say I am adding an INPUT so i can freely choose how long the beam should be #and it can be more complicated than that but idea is that you set up a 3d design which you can adjust by changing input values

Listen to a binaural recording made with two websdrs featuring lively political debate among ham radio operators in New England. They talk about how they don't like democracy and just want a white supremacist ethnostate instead. Then they get jammed by other stations who play music and sound effects.

The 75 meter ham radio band is 4chan for boomers.

Capture Aero Data via RTL-SDR

A British Airways 747 goes by - not too fast, partial flaps extended. You can intercept its voice and data radio signals with a properly set up RTL-SDR! Voice on the VHF-Airband is an easy catch. So is ACARS data, whether in the old signal format or the new VDL Mode 2. Know what is going on. See the book "Airband Radio on the RTL-SDR" for tips, tricks, do's and dont's for using software defined radio to harvest aero signals en masse.

Very nice reception this afternoon, listening on 30 meters with noise reduction on the low setting. Every WebSDR should incorporate such nice client-side filtering.
