I just managed to enable a Vulkan physical device feature extension, and I don't know if I should feel proud, embarrassed, disgusted, or all of those at once.

Having to deal with build issues of software older than three and a half years will ultimately be the reason I quit the industry and start a career in gardening.

1. Penetrantes Läuten der Kirchenglocken

2. Nachricht von Käthe über Telegram (!), ob ich mich über ein ungenanntes, aber unbedingt fantastisches Jobangebot unterhalten möchte.

Zwei Dinge, die kurz nach 7 Uhr begeistern!

SDL3's README-migration document must be a nightmare to maintain / keep up to date - but it's amazingly helpful.

The trick they do with those "OLD_NAME_renamed_to_NEW_NAME" macros is pretty nice too.

So the mighty YT algorithm decided, all of the blue, that I might be interested in clips about a movie called "The Old Guard" with C. Theron.

Released in 2020. Never heard of it before.

"A covert team of immortal mercenaries ..."

Just as stupid as it sounds, judging by the two clips I watched.

Yes, the algorithm got me. :/

Defender keeps popping up those notifications. If I close one, a new one appears.

No, computer, I did not intent to allocate 64 GB of memory.

It was a mistake, OK? Stop trying!

It just took 1900 (D3D12) vs 2500 (Vulkan) lines of code, and some serious amount of pulled hair, to get these two render outputs look the same.

(Please ignore the fugly colors, I'm no artist)

I came to the conclusion that, without validation/debug layers, there simply would not be such thing as a working, published D3D12 or Vulkan powered product.

The Vulkan API. Dumps a truckload of Lego bricks onto your feet. Challenges you to use them to build a F1 race car. Then yells at you for each deviation from the construction plan you can't read because it's written in Klingon.

Just watched "Kong: Skull Island" for the first time. I know, I know, I'm 7 years late.

Military textbook, Hollywood edition: if attacked by an angry creature as big a a tower, you continue flying your helicopters in parade formation, and as close as possible to stay within said creature's arm length.

And that's only been the intro to more hours of dumb-ass decisions to keep the action going.

Installed the latest build of CLion Nova. Some of the new features are neat. I'm a fanboy. I want to like it.

But it's choking hard when editing a 2.5k loc source file which includes a bunch of heavy headers, like d3d12.h & friends.

While using even more RAM than CLion does.

I might have gone overboard a wee bit.

Most of the time I'm actually impressed about the kind of error messages the D3D12 debug interface reports.

But now and then it just throws a rather useless "Device removal has been triggered ... The Device took an unreasonable amount of time to execute its commands, or the hardware crashed/hung" at me.

Not very helpful indeed.

After some trial & error, I figured what it really wants to tell me. Translation: "You didn't update that one constant buffer, idiot!"

I may have accidentally started building yet another shader (cross-)compiler pipeline.

Just had to solve a captcha which gave me like ten blurred pixels to decide if they are showing a motorcycle, or just some JPEG noise.

The machines are rising!

In the CLion IDE, CTRL+ALT+L reformats your code.

On Debian / Xfce the same shortcut locks the screen. Which means it turns black.

Like a hard crash.

Not the most exciting thing happening after changing some code at 1:30 am.
