I'm dying here. By these definitions I ve lived in a heatwave most of my fucking life.
Heat wave doesn't mean dying. It just means it's hotter than usual.
-
@dkf The places I'm talking about usually have humidity in the >70% range for most of the year. The airconditioning indoors are usually set at a temperature of ~22 degrees C below which people complain it is uncomfortably cold. And yeah I have to constantly sit under what's called a Ceiling Fan or i start sweating in 5 seconds. Huge YMMV when it comes to Climatic conditions.

These numbers are real low. The temperatures around here are 85 to 100 degrees in the summer. That's 30 to 38 in Celsius. A really pleasant day would be something like 27 C / 80 F
27c "pleasant". I'd be doing my work in a fridge.
I position myself right where the airconditioner blows the air out. That's the closest I can get. And yeah everyone always enjoys some extra fridge time when they open it cos the gust of cold that you feel when you open the fridge on a really hot day is

@stillwater you literally said "I'm dying here." I thought you're referring to how hot the climate is where you're from.

Yes I was. I was merely stating that by the definition of heat wave from that post, technically I'd been living in a heatwave all my life. Not that I'm dying FROM a heatwave. I think you missed the period in between those sentences. If that makes any sense
-
@stillwater oh, so you're just making fun of people who aren't used to it being freaking hot everyday? Fair enough.
-
@gąska I interpreted it figuratively as "dieing of laughter" at the people who think that is excessively hot.

I'm not making fun it's just that places where it is usually colder ( where 30 degrees is considered a heat wave ) can deal with it when outdoors by wearing layered clothing and whatnot. But over here when it's hot AF outside there isn't anything that I can do to keep myself cool short of tying a few mechanical fans around me attached to batteries that blow air in my direction.
I'm not talking about folks who have to deal with temperatures < 5 C. But people living in places where it is 0 - 25 degrees are much better off than people living in 25 - 50 degrees range cos you can't do anything to counteract the effect of the weather in the latter case if you're outdoors. :(
-
@stillwater canada, the warning is mainly because of the excessive humidity (60%)

@stillwater said in The Official Status Thread:
@bb36e 30 degree Celsius is a heat wave?! Where in the world is 30 degree clesius considered a heat wave?
It's not a "heat wave" unless the temperature persists for four or five days.
However, in Western Washington, 86 can trigger heat warnings based on the humidity. (In Eastern Washington, it'd always be too dry.) Weather here gets in the 90s usually once or twice every year, and the triple digits every 5 or so years.
But remember, the temperature alone doesn't mean much unless you also know the humidity. 90 degrees in dry Arizona is entirely different from 90 degrees in sopping Florida.

Whaaaat. From my extensive hollywood experience I believed Miami was THE PERFECT CITY. Beaches and beautiful women and all that. Does not look that attractive if it is hot and sweaty :/

@stillwater As a Seattleite, Miami is basically my idea of hell.
... nah it's not that bad. But it sure embodies the whole "it's a nice place to visit but I sure wouldn't want to live there" thing.

I do agree on this point.

Steam. I don't have a Vive.
Steam just assumes all windows headsets are Vives, and seems to work well enough at it... As long as you specifically get the addon for windows device support.
@weng said in The Official Status Thread:
If you're using Mixed Reality gear instead of a Vive, you have to install a separate app.
Which one did you end up going with?
Also, make sure you get Skyworld, it's awesome!

Temperature rose to 100 last school year, and classes were cancelled as people were urged to stay indoors with maximum air conditioning for health concerns. I'm just like 'this is regular summer to me'. And then these are the same people who need a jacket when it goes down to 60.

This used to be the case till late 90s where people treated this sort of thing really seriously. For the whole summer, schools would have no outdoor playtime, started earlier around 7 am and ended around 3 pm, people would die of heat strokes etc.,
These days the most I've seen is kids carrying two bottles of water instead of one and cussing the weather. I guess we all got used to it after years and years of it. Also people who left for colder climates in the west who come back after more than 5 years cannot take the heat at all!
-
My high school didn't have air conditioning, except for the superindendant's office (naturally). Second-floor classes were terrible in August. Like 105 degrees with no air movement at all.

I learnt how one could hate another human being with body, mind, heart and soul just cos they were in a room with a lower temperature. I still hate that guy I suppose.

Right now it's 90F, but about 90% humidity. And that's how it is from about may through later September or October.

I used to live in the Chicago area. That 90/90 is a good reason I am in Silly Valley now. (But all these idiots who live here are making me want to retire somewhere else "real soon now")

Science-based, non-mysticism mediation.
Main focus is techniques to address anxiety / racing thoughts / panic attacks. Central idea is to ground yourself and your thoughts in the "now and present".

In a way, yes. More like "stop irrationally worrying so you can think clearly in the moment to address what's ahead of you"

@tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:

Ah yes, apparently in the Client build since there's a GPU, the stuff goes to the GPU and a callback function is registered for when the GPU is done with the memory so it can be freed.
This callback isn't registered in the Server build because there is no GPU, so the memory does not get free.
I'm still bothered that we're allocating and deallocating memory several times each tick (n*number of players painting * size of paint to be applied), but what do I know?

@tsaukpaetra It can take a little while to move 1.5TB of data. Do you have 1Gb/s networking or better?

If the sizes of memory allocated in each chunk are predictable, you can make that much faster. Assuming you're using C. You can also do it in C++, but the resulting template wreckage is really dispiriting, and you don't really have the option to do so in managed languages, or really the need; they tend to be pretty good at the memory management (it's C and C++ which are surprisingly slow by default in this regard).

It's C++ (UE4 Engine), and there's a typical maximum for most situations (It's allocating an array to hold bitmap data of a given size slice of a texture).
Apparently the problem is that it's not predictable and (i've been told) sent off to a thread (which I don't believe otherwise it shouldn't be affecting the game tick rate when multiple people are painting).

It's not even been tested well enough to make it work efficiently enough to not affect framerates just because five people are painting on things.
