Can't sleep so I'm thinking about block game's direct lighting
It's kinda cool and I'm sure I can hammer out the remaining bugs but I'm not sure if it should stay. Unlike minecraft's flood fill style lighting (which it's also still doing) there's no clever tricks to deal with recalculating this lighting. I just gotta nuke it all and recalculate it for every single light
Which in a game where players can spam lights could become a problem?

I could (and probably should) shove the lighting to a background thread and that would help but I'm thinking about what if there's something like pistons moving blocks around multiple times per second. Then the lighting thread would just get backed up and get further and further behind so its not like that's a proper solution either
On the other hand if I just commit to it I could probably optimize it at least a bit over time. And it could be an option, so you can disable it on slower systems

But if I commit to it, and I *can't* make it better enough, what if I paint myself into a corner long term?
😕 don't know what to do

Basically it looks kinda neat but idk if it's worth all the development time both current and future and I'm worried I'll paint myself into a corner if I keep it

@eniko you can always come back and add it later if it really turns out to be necessary

@aeva it's purely aesthetic so, that's unlikely to happen?

ok having slept on this i'm an idiot. the nice thing about the direct lighting is that each vertex just casts a ray at each light source
this means unlike the other floodfill based lighting it's
1. highly parallelizable
2. much easier to stagger the calculations over multiple frames -

@aeva that's true. any accumulation over 1.0 doesn't even do anything in my system so once a point hits that it could just stop

@NotTheLBCGuy and all I got was a poorly-produced sandwich

Tosi è irritante, antipatico e insopportabile e uno dei peggiori in una serie di pessimi sindaci.
Però, comunque, si pronuncia Tósi, con la o chiusa, non Tòsi con la o aperta.

@informapirata @filobus (è importante però non dimenticare che l'*altra* preda tipica dei truffatori è qualcuno in una situazione di vulnerabilità emotiva: se ti chiamano e ti dicono che tuo figlio sta male o cose del genere ovviamente non c'è nessuna voglia di truffare nella vittima)

@valhalla è sempre stato così: il truffatore tipico non è altro che un hacker che, attraverso sistemi di inggneria sociale, hackera la predisposizione (e presunzione) di poter aggirare le regole di qualcuno che si comporta come se fosse un truffatore.
Chi decide di aggirare le regole civili e sociali infatti si pone automaticamente in una zona più libera dove è possibile "predare" più facilmente; ma dove si preda più facilmente il predatore può diventare facilmente una preda

@Coco_Claudi la risposta è stata “per l'urgenza la tariffa è doppia”, vero?
*vero?*
(e rimane doppia anche se il ritiro succede più tardi)

Massacro nelle favelas. Rio de Janeiro
@anarchia
Non ci sono parole sufficienti per descrivere l’orrore che proviamo per il massacro di oltre 130 giovani afrodiscendenti poveri uccisi dalla polizia di Rio de Janeiro, con la scusa di combattere il narcotraffico. Si è trattato di un’operazione di guerra...Vedi https://www.rivoluzioneanarchica.it/massacro-nelle-favelas-rio-de-janeiro/

@filobus che io sappia le persone con la volontà di truffare altre persone sono sempre state uno dei target principali dei truffatori
