ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Bear vs. ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ Build EAR

The compilation database tool (https://github.com/rizsotto/Bear), is extremely helpful. It got CCLS/clangd working for me over multiple in-house build systems at a vfx studio.

It also is super helpful for debugging. I have used it a lot alongside a script which converts a compile_commands.json to a sequence of commands, so I can edit them individually without fiddling with the build system, and then once fixed (such as adding a flag to one TU) try to find the way to do that in the build system.


I've heard good things about sclerals and am planning to get them. Small triple images in the left eye and triple in the right eye with a major image further away, like 3 lines on my computer screen away. It doesn't sound nearly as bad as the many images but good to hear sclerals work with worse cases!


They work fantastically for me. I feel incredibly lucky that they do.

Every morning I put them in, look out my window at the high leaves of a garden tree. Then rotate them until the leaves are sharp,

I am still using my first pair, which are nine years old now. No irritation unless I wear them overnight sleeping.

I highly recommend giving them a try!


Thanks for the link to tmuxinator, I had heard of it but never learned what it does. I think I'd like something like this. But I think this is a case of tmux providing a platform, I think the core idea of tmuxinator could be implemented outside of tmux, so tmux in that regard is basically an implementation detail.

Then it is a pragmatic decision, using tmux you get to use the ecosystem of things like tmuxinator which explicitly target tmux to get a known number of terminal features like splits. What I learn from the OP, is that there are technical reasons that tmux is not a "good design" - like Kovid's comments on how it constrains innovation in terminal designs - which might lead someone to consider, what actually does tmux do and could my workflow be implemented otherwise?

It might be a bunch of unixy hacks and tricks (as another commenter here said) but it can work. I'd imagine recreating something like tmuxinator would be hard though, but it could also be interesting, like having arbitrary GUI programs configured to appear in "splits" using tiling integrated seamlessly within the terminals. But yeah, if the workflow is already set up and serviceable and supported with a community, using tmux, then I'd just keep using it.


VFX software development, repairing and modifying pipelines for artists, at a company with a large internal tool infrastructure like Weta, ILM, Pixar, is my target job

He makes an intriguing point.


I have felt similar, wanting to learn physics sims. I have had to learn over time to separate domains of knowledge like physics from programming tools used to ~manifest them. Especially starting with gamedev, initially it felt like there should be a natural programming idiomatic way to set up each of the major simulations like rigid bodies, cloth, springs, fluids, so the first thought I had was these sims will be naturally encoded in the language, like a fluid sim being somehow setting up a grid, then choosing some update rules per timestep. But really it is modelling a problem as real mathematics and physics, then mapping this to a language/toolset which perhaps can't naturally express it idiomatically.

There are a few algorithms like some cloth sims based on particle positions and springs, which can be coded easily, but that was misleading to me when trying to improve, I had to dig a lot more into physics and numerical analysis then mapping the problem to code, which can end up clunky and with a lot of magic numbers.


As latexr said you can disable watch history. This means there is no home page (even when it should have known my interests, my home page was awful so this isn't so bad). You don't get watch-progress memory on videos, which is simple to adjust to. Recommended are less targeted and I get a lot of the typical ragey youtube stuff but it is mostly half relevant. I no longer watch any shorts which I kept clicking just to "see how bad they are" until it became a habit. And the UI keeps pushing it... If youtube makes the no-watch-history method not work, I'm just deleting the app and waiting until I'm bothered to configure revanced.


I love this book so much. The literate programming style I think inspired from Knuth's cweb, great writing, beautiful high-quality physical book worth buying but also free access to knowledge. The literate-programming style means you are almost immediately applying theory to a practical system, I keep having to take breaks to learn outside math/physics though, but it is self-contained in principle I think.


I think the geo URI scheme might work if you have an exact location for the book.


Yay Ben Rady. He has a great podcast with Matt Godbolt (who made Compiler Explorer) called Two's Complement.
