Today I got aware about this old controversial tweet, made by none other but Elon "I AM ELON MUSK" Musk. Every single time Musk uses Twitter, it's to post some stupid shit that ends at the headlines while pissing over someone else, from cave rescue workers ("pedos") to the SEC (which ended costing him his CEO position at his beloved Tesla). And now he messed up big time with the Touhou fandom (and beyond, including weebs, otakus, and transspecies people, whatever that means). See, he posts something stupid related to "catgirls" or something. But of all the actual catgirls in the franchise (not to mention other franchises with even easier examples, like Nekopara), he had to explicitly choose a werewolf, of all things! With DOG ears and DOG tail. Hell, even a 2-second Google Images query has quite a lot of examples of catgirls (except for the poor Kagerou, which became the antiexample thanks to Musk). The reactions from Western artists (as noone seems to care about who is Elon Musk in Japan) have been rather funny, certainly better than the original tweet. Either Musk is a moron, a troll, or a complete ignorant (or possibly all three, which seem to be the perfect companion for his attention whore personality). Anyway, the guy should quit social media (and possibly the Internet), for his own good. He should go back to sell cars, or something. Or do whatever CEOs are supposed to do, which doesn't include "being a dick in public media" last time I bothered reading public relations literature.

MarbleMarcher, a simple game that demonstrates real-time ray-marching of 3D fractals, with physics. Think of it a bit like Marble Madness, but with ridiculous graphics. Apparently it needs OpenGL 4 and I only managed about 20-30fps on "potato graphics" mode, but apart from the speed it worked pretty nicely in Wine. There's a PR to make it more portable, but the usual discussion and bike-shedding ensues. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. |

Marble Marcher operates between 30 and 210FPS depending on what the camera is looking at for me, though during typical gameplay while in the middle of a level for example it varies between 35 and 60FPS. This is at 1920x1080 fullscreen with vsync off (with vsync on it's either 30 or 60FPS).

Can't get further than this level... Benchmark: 23fps @ 1920x1080 in the first level at the start. That's with two GTX 970 in SLI. My current setup: Super Famicom ("2/1/3" SNS-CPU-1CHIP-02) → SCART → OSSC → StarTech USB3HDCAP → AmaRecTV 3.10 |

4-5fps with an i5 3570 @ 2.1GHz with integrated graphicsPosted by wareya Well, otherwise your resolution would determine what times you could get. My current setup: Super Famicom ("2/1/3" SNS-CPU-1CHIP-02) → SCART → OSSC → StarTech USB3HDCAP → AmaRecTV 3.10 |

Posted by wareyaI noticed that. Turned it to max, and couldn't actually get enough speed to jump the crater in stage 1. Posted by creaothceann Other way around. Behavior changes with frame rate. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Yeah, physics, gameplay speed and the start Timer are all tied to FPS which is... just annoying. AMD Ryzen 3700X | MSI Gamer Geforce 1070Ti 8GB | 16GB 3600MHz DDR4 RAM | ASUS Crosshair VIII Hero (WiFi) Motherboard | Windows 10 x64 |

OMFG! I could only manage ~5fps at the absolute potato settings on my i5-2450m + Quadro NVS 4200M rig. :D Dang thing was pegging the GPU at 100% I still have no idea what I'm talking about. |

A shame the Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow glitchless speedrun at AGDQ was streamed with the video game footage captured at 30FPS. It's passable to look at until he gets the zoom skill.

Apparently the hipsters at MangoDatabases, Inc don't really want you using their "not-really-a-database" thing in The Clown™, unless if you pay them. Initially they did it by releasing their product under the AGPL license, which means if you deploy it to The Clown™ as part of your software, you must opensource everything or cough up and pay them for a commercial license. Nobody took them seriously, so they switched to a homebrew (?) license which basically says the same, but with a "we're serious this time!" clause, or whatever. Now, after reviewing the licensing changes, the Nedflanderists at Fedora decided to give MongoloidDB the proverbial boot in the buttocks since they're not Free Software anymore, which by extension implies that they're out of the next RHEL too. This implies that the next time you go to your favorite Clown Computing™ provider, your choice is to stick to old distros, or bring your own junk. Or, if you're lucky, maybe your Clown Computing™ provider of choice will provide an API-compatible "drop-in" replacement for your specific "I'm too lazy for using a grown up database" needs. At least the folks at The Guardian learned the lesson, but only after their sysadmins kept shooting themselves in their foots for years. Remember, the cure to all your "I Can't Believe It Is Not SQL" woes is "LEARN SQL, YOU IDIOT!" and "apt-get install postgresql". Even MS Access is a far better choice, despite being... well, Access!!! (actually, whatever version of Jet they're using under the hood nowadays) (And yes, the AGPL was one of the two reasons of why I dumped Flying Saucer in favor of Open HTML to PDF for my XHTML->PDF conversions: they use iText as the backend which comes with their "pay up OR ELSE" licensing the minute you generate your first PDF on a server. The second reason was that both the library and the specific iText major version they're using are basically EOL'd at this stage. The top-level API remains essentially unchanged, and the new guy in the block is far faster anyway.) UPDATE: Debian is also considering to remove MongoDB from the next stable too. The new license (SSPL), while technically in compliance with the DFSG terms still manages to run afoul its spirit. The OSI has already rejected the initial version of the SSPL, but don't fret - they're already working on a v2 despite noone actually waiting for it. Once again: friends don't let friends use NoSQL junk. The more I read about this licensing BS, the more it sounds like a Oraclesque move.
