Development of my game is going nowhere, I am having the coder's equivalent of writer's block.

But on the plus side, we do live in the timeline with Tim Curry

Who's that?   

Rocky horror picture show guy, Hexxus in fern gully, probably some other stuff.

Also Wadsworth from the Clue movie, the demon from Legend, Stratos from Sacrifice (the game), Long John Silver from Muppet Treasure Island, Richelieu in the '93 Three Musketeers movie with Sheen and Sutherland, Pennywise from the original IT... And many many many other things in his delightfully extensive career.

But on the plus side, we do live in the timeline with Tim Curry

Where did you gain such wisdom Kagus? I wish to learn it too

Development of my game is going nowhere, I am having the coder's equivalent of writer's block.

I think that's just called "coder's block", but now I'm thinking of the blocks that codecs work in, so it "helpfully" disambiguates in my mind to "the (en/dec)coder's block", which is confusing me.

While this isn't a Sad, a related confusion occurs whenever y'all use "Vec", because that's both referring to "Vector" (the person), and "vector" (the math/programming concept). Every time I see code like:

Code: [Select]

fn hold_my_vec<T>(_: Vec<T>) {}

fn main() {
    let v = vec![2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17];
    hold_my_vec(v);
    let element = v.get(3);

    println!("I got this element from the vector: {:?}", element);
}
No, that won't compile. Borrow checker and all that. But the thing that's getting me is that each time "vec" is used here, my brain is trying to disambiguate between Vector the person and "vector" the math concept. I'm doing double-takes each time I see Rust code that uses vector data types. I think it's pretty entertaining to think "did Vector sneak into someone's Rust?" for a few seconds, so I'm not stopping any of you.

An aunt of my wife died of covid. Another one has it too, and it seems at least 4 more of her closest family (including her grandma and her mom) have early symptoms. By sheer dumb luck her little sister has some time staying with us so she's safe at least.

She just told me that she feels like the gates of hell opened to take away her family. Most of those people are in the risk group due age and/or have baseline chronic illness that put them on the risk group.

And there's not a single thing we can do about it... is fucking disheartening.

[Dunamisdeos]

Damn man, I'm sorry.

[ChairmanPoo]

I'm worried about the health of someone close to me .  Rationally I know the odds of something being bad are less than 1%, and the odds of something very bad are less than 0.1%. I still feel worried sick, though

[LordBaal]

Hey, that is a lottery no one wants to play, even with those odds.

My wife aunt was returned today, as a box with ashes.

So I finally talked with the medical team and after a review by the radiologist proper they said the size is 11 rather than 7mm. I learned the location which is supposedly good, and on ct it seems localized and isolated. I didnt learn the shape. I'm waiting for a pet scan which will further ellucidate whether its benign or malignant and confirm its localized.  I'm going insane with worry and can barely think. I dont trust my calculations after that previous jump. I'm disquieted by the worse scenarios of it being bad, despite the survivals of 85% for  localized forms, which is the whole point of doing this screening.  I feel like crawling into bed and bawling nonstop when I think about the hopefully very remote possibility of non-localized disease.

I've not had lunch nor dinner. I'm not hungry. I'm terrified about my loved one(s).  I very much encourage anyone reading this to undergo any and all screening programs available and to encourage their loved ones to do the same.
 

[scriver]

I'm sorry to hear that, Chairman. And to you and your wife too Baal.

[ChairmanPoo]

Im just too terrified to think

[martinuzz]

Fingers crossed, hoping for the best. Be strong!

Woke up this morning; mom called up and screamed at me over something I did that she didn't like, which I had given her the tools to prevent; directly because of this I am missing a goodbye lunch with one of my best friends at my favorite local restaurant.

Fucking, great. And when I tell her we couldn't get lunch, she's going to blame me for it.

[Kagus]

What exactly is preventing you from attending the lunch? I'm not sure I understand

[Vector]

Needed to tell my friend what to get and instead he came over after the restaurant closed
