turns out you can make two simple typos at the same time and suddenly have a variable named biteCunt

Sorry I haven't really posted any game development stuff recently, I got nerd sniped into implementing an FFT in a way that I haven't seen done before, and I've gotten bogged down in figuring out a series of remapping for real-input FFTs (but perf numbers are good compared to some comparison libs!)

@celeduc@mastodon.social @munin@infosec.exchange @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place yeah they're just following orders, a notably bulletproof defense
(I've been in software for 20 years, I know how this works and have lived the industry eating its own tail my entire adult life, I hate it but also I still think everyone involved from management to design to programming is culpable)
The diagrams I've been drawing trying to track multiple reversals/redundancies in the data for this FFT code have once again convinced my wife that my brain has been taken over by aliens
When you knock someone out in a stealth mission, you give them a conshushion
Imagine being google and having one of the most widely-used, useful, and appreciated products on the entire internet - for *decades* - then just ruining it in increasingly ridiculous ways

@Ash_Crow@mastodon.social @munin@infosec.exchange @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place I have been working in software for 20 years so yeah I get it
Also I consider designers and PMs to be part of the development process and, thus, also developers
*raises hand* can I be in the club (I am 100% in the club 😫)

@futurebird@sauropods.win @toba@zeroes.ca this has been how the teen's high school has gone - Less papers written at home, more written in class
Honestly I think it's a win/win, it also restricts the scope of the writing such that she doesn't have to spend tens of hours on it

If you're thinking "we're mutuals on social media is he including me in that second statement" the answer is absolutely yes

@tvaziri this was such a great aesthetic that I did not appreciate at the time due to it being the Moody Years
It really sucks that doing an in-place array element interleave or de-interleave (without scratch space) is such an annoying problem
It's effectively a 2 x (N/2) matrix transpose, which gets real ugly real fast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-place_matrix_transposition

@rotopenguin@mastodon.social fuck I haven't been doing that and now my skin is 45 years old
do you think I could iron it safely?

@econads@mendeddrum.org @elricofmelnibone@mastodon.social Frequently with these kinds of things it doesn't even take, like, *strong* pushback - especially when it's a thing that's commonplace enough like the Yes/Not Now thing that the designer probably hasn't even considered how user unfriendly it is.
I've had a few instances where I'd been asked to implement something in what would have been a user-unfriendly way, and I've pushed back nicely with "hey, I think it should be instead because " and that's how it ended up
