There's something at the end of that URL. I didn't know
.international
was a thing until just now though.Edit: It does a LOT of redirecting and you end up at a site that states 'Trade and make a profit from home'. Then it somehow detected my sandbox I think.

Almost all GUI applications do rendering only on one thread. Multithreaded rendering is EXTREMELY difficult to get right. There's like two million things that can go wrong with multithreaded GUI, in addition to the usual 4 millions that can go wrong for all multithreaded code. Even in video games, usually you'll find only one thread orchestrating GPU to do rendering, with other threads only performing non-rendering tasks.

With the GPU being effectively internally multithreaded, but with each thread effectively working on its own world of pixels distinct from the other threads.

status dammit. Submitted taxes a couple weeks ago. Yesterday I got a revised 1099-DIV. Which, of course, has a higher number for the dividend. (same total, just some $ from the non-div category moved to the ordinary-div category) Guess that means I need to amend my return and pay more taxes. DAMN YOU ETRADE!
Edit: Fucking hell. I'm double checking my numbers using the formula in 2018 tax table (IRS) document. They're showing a number $1200 more than what the tax software computed. Fuck it. Maybe I'll just wait for the IRS to send a bill. Sure it'll have some penalties, but they'll be worth the headaches I'll save trying to figure this shit out.

You've drawn other very pretty things before, so I wasn't sure, you seem to have a talent for it.
I was bored and curious how hard it would be to implement a wave equation. Definitely reminded me why we hire mathematicians who actually know WTF they're doing (or what a hyperbolic equation is). Results look wavy for sure (although I'm not quite sure if that's what they should look like, or how I'd do boundaries that don't reflect), but increasing the propagation speed or time integration step just a bit changes it from "propagating wave" to "propagating numerical garbage".
Good (maybe?)
Mr. Stark I don't feel so good

Fucking vectors, how do they work?
I literally just spent half an hour mix-matching two vectors and a small calculation so I could get a widget to face the player in 3d space, but only on one axis, based on location. Turns out, to set the Z property of the widget's rotation, I need to set the Y (aka Yaw out of Pitch, Yaw, and Roll) to the difference between the location-X properties of the two actors. And since I'm wanting that to be static to only flipping one way or the other (it's a 2D widget in 3d space, not going to put any more effort into this...), I clamped it like so:
TradeStateWidget->SetWorldRotation(FRotator(0, Player->GetBodyLocation().X - Root->GetComponentLocation().X > 0 ? 0 : 180, 0));
Fun?
