for the past three years, I've been speaking english every single day, only switching to my native swedish when talking to relatives on the phone, which is probably 0.5% of my uttered words

somehow, I now feel like a stranger to my own native language

I recently met a new friend - we'd never spoken in person before!

once we met we figured we might as well just speak swedish since we both speak it fluently

but, my brain kept wanting to pull in english words, and started structuring sentences as if I was speaking english

the result is a haphazard mostly-swedish but lots of english words and unfinished sentences

like it works, but something feels really off, like I'm emulating someone else, trying to fit a mold that's just ever so slightly off at all times

"but operator overloading makes your code confusing"

ok bro literally what is this

"people can misuse it"

oh no what if people make a "GlorbAllNoots()" function that florps all goobers instead??

looks like we can't have functions either, look at this confusing and hidden implicit behavior!!

I just don't see how:

vec2.add(vec2.mul(a,1-t),vec2.mul(b,t))

or

a.mul(1-t).add(b.mul(t))

is more readable/better than:

a*(t-1)+b*t

doing math heavy projects without operator overloading is an absolute nightmare

the axis-angle representation of 3D rotation

a single 3D vector, where
• its direction v̂ is the axis of rotation
• its magnitude ||v|| is the angle to rotate by

this can represent any 3D rotation, but you'll most commonly see it represent angular velocity, where the magnitude is the angular speed

this is because unlike quaternions, axis-angle can go beyond a full turn, just like a number representing a single angle can

when representing angular velocity this way, you can also easily add angular velocities together through simple vector addition, decompose it, and project it!

which is pretty neat if you ask me

I feel like so many movies would immediately improve if you removed 80% of dialogue and made it 4 times as long

make me *feel* the character's motivation, and see their struggles and motivations

I'm so allergic to having it told to me over and over through dialogue when it's already clear contextually

and like, it's so hard to have proper pacing and tell a believable story with actual character development, without too much on the nose exposition, in the space of an hour or two

it's just extremely sus that the only people excited about NFTs are very rich famous people, large tech companies, and cryptobros,

while artists themselves are unanimously against the idea

like shouldn't this raise a huge number of red flags?

if twitter truly cared about artists they could help us with two very simple features:

1. let us preview and edit the thumbnail crop region
2. let us tag individual media as nsfw so people can opt out/not be scared of following people who do both sfw and nsfw art

like that's it

also yes of course there are exceptions, some artists are on board with nfts, I know, but they seem to exist as an extremely small minority, that's what I mean by unanimous

so pls stop with the "not all artists" replies now thx <3

btw these large scary math symbols are just for-loops

dw game dev math mommy's got u ❤

math people interacting with this tweet are just now realizing how little math knowledge game devs and engineers can get by with
