Working on an ambient lighting system:

Right now I've got "probe" entities sampling the world but they are not able to transfer their data to the scene yet. Initially I was going to draw them like lights where they had a radius and softness, but this video inspired me to try a similar approach but in 2D:

[video=youtube;NaGv9jvF5gs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaGv9jvF5gs[/video]

Right now I'm looking into constructing a mesh from the sample points using Delaunay triangulation.

I actually have content for once.

Been making a proxy library that transparently adds subtitle support to any (32-bit Windows) game that uses Bink 2 for video playback (...in the way that the engine that I care about uses it, anyway).

Rename bink2w32.dll to real_bink2w32.dll, drop in my files and BAM, when the game plays a foo.bk2 and there's a foo.bk2.ass in a "subs" subfolder, that video is subtitled.

I've recently coded a simple and stupid Telegram bot for my school friends. Currently it has only one command, which acts like a note command: you can add notes to certain subjects, delete all of them and show the added notes.

The idea was to store homework, so my friends could ask the bot anytime they thought they had homework.

The only problem I've found was hosting. I tried PythonAnywhere but it has a 100 second allowance which resets in 24 hours, so I decided to try OpenShift. Getting it to work in OpenShift was a pain in the ass because I had to write the bot as a flask app, but everything went well.

[QUOTE=Janooba;50416141]That is the automated message of a man who's truly lost all hope.[/QUOTE]

So here are all my messages that I have added that can be selected randomly, with some being for certain cases. I need to make it so the ones that get added for special cases have a much higher chance of being selected.

            MessageList.Add("Quick! the most recent movie you have watched and what you thought of it!");
            MessageList.Add(string.Format("Having a good {0}?", DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek.ToString()));
            MessageList.Add(string.Format("If you could live anywhere, where would you choose? Or would you still stay in {0}", prof.Location));
            MessageList.Add("If you had to survive on a desert island for 5 years and you could only bring one thing, what would you bring?: 1. Machete 2. A book (what book?) 3. A volleyball 4. Hatchet");
            MessageList.Add(string.Format("Hey! What are you doing right this second! Other than reading my message!"));
            MessageList.Add("I have been running out of movies to watch on Netflix. Would you have any good suggestions? How about your favorite?");
            MessageList.Add("My friend says pickles with grilled cheese sandwiches are disgusting. WHO DOESN'T LIKE PICKLES ON GRILLED CHEESE!?");

            if (prof.IsOnline)
            {
                if(DateTime.Now.Hour >= 0 && DateTime.Now.Hour <= 4)
                {
                    MessageList.Add("So what are you doing on so late... or should I say early? Do you usually stay up this late?");
                }
            }

            Random rand = new Random();
            int selected = rand.Next(1, 1000);
            if (selected > 103 && selected < 112)
            {
                MessageList.Add(string.Format("What kind of name is {0}", prof.Name));
            }

The last one is a rare case that Janooba wanted me to add, I was okay with it since it was so rare. If anyone else has any fun messages they think they could work let me know! Here are all the profile settings I currently have that I can inject into the messages.

        public string Name { get; set; }
        public Uri ProfilePage { get; set; }
        public int Age { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
        public int MatchPercent { get; set; }
        public List<Orientation> Orientation { get; set; }
        public RelationshipStatus RelationshipStatus { get; set; }
        public BodyType BodyType { get; set; }
        public List<Ethnicity> Ethnicity { get; set; }
        public string Height { get; set; }
        public Smoking Smoking { get; set; }
        public Sex Sex { get; set; }
        public bool IsOnline { get; set; }

I have gotten a lot more visitors with this. the program doesn't send to many messages but all the conditions are being met properly so thats good. I will try adding in some info of how many messages get sent vs how many get skipped over.

TL;DR You need to multiply frequency amplitudes with equal-loudness contour[/QUOTE]

Please take care, you don't multiply decibels like that. Convert them to a non-db gain before (10^(value in db/reference value)). twice the db doesn't mean twice the amplitude(or loudness or energy or w/e you want). Twice the non db calculated above-means twice the amplitude.

Working on an identity verification system for [url=https://marketplace.tf]Marketplace.tf[/url].

The basic gist is that as part of our fraud prevention, sometimes we have to deny an order / ban a user based on not fully trusting them, while still not being 100% confident that they ARE a fraudster.

This system will allow us to request they verify their identity by uploading documents to us.

I particularly hate working on features like this because it requires a number of perspectives (user's perspective, admin's perspective), it's not particularly challenging, and it requires a lot of boilerplate work.

Working on my personal node.js / raspberry pi / web project, a home theater application with a web control interface.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/FrBuHJt.png[/t]

The idea is that it plays TV episodes from a schedule file as if it's a TV station. It even plays "commercials" between shows and serves up an interactive TV guide with show/movie descriptions.

I just now added controls to toggle override mode in the web interface, which lets you play shows on-the-fly. I also added skipping episodes through the web interface.

I think next I'm going to add some more live controls, like pause and language/subtitle selection. I may add file selection and maybe playlist support down the road.

I've done something similar, however it was based on the Diceware method: each word on a list gets an index from 11111 to 66666, and you throw a dice 5 times to get your index.

I started using passphrases (a bit) like that a while ago, and 'shockingly' there are quite a few websites that actually don't support this.
So far I've encountered: 'Only alphanumeric Latin characters are allowed', 'don't use spaces'(???) and/or, most commonly, sites that [I]require[/I] you to use very short passwords.

Our ISP was one of the worst offenders in that regard for a while, silently dropping everything past the twelfth character [I]only when changing[/I] the password. They probably still haven't fixed it completely.

That's not even the kicker though. [i]Just about every large German online banking system only allows passwords [b]exactly[/b] five characters long.[/i] Apparently that's 'certified'.
You need a (usually) much more secure TAN to actually move money away, but the user name/password combination is enough to read all financial data and often enough to wreak at least _some_ havoc by causing costs and/or locking out the legitimate account holder.
The user name usually can be derived from (or just plain [I]is[/I]) the account number, which can be considered public since you need it to pay for anything electronically.
My ex-bank gave me a five character alphanumeric (all-caps) password that I think wasn't changeable, and I also couldn't [I]not[/I] use my plain account number as user name. My new bank let me change my login name at least, but not to anything with more than 15 characters. It's utterly insane :scream:

LastPass is free if you don't need syncing, but I haven't personally used it. I think 1Password is great, and you can try it free for a month. To me, it's worth $5 a month, since it saves me from having to fiddle about with a bunch of passwords. If $5 is too much, you could even split it with 5 other people (the price is for a family of 5).

Don't know if I told this story before (sorry if I did).

Paypal had one of these stupid limitations on the number of characters your password can have (something like 16 IIRC) which forced me to use the "less secure" variant of my usual password with them. When they overhauled their interface a while back I tried to change my password to the better one, thinking it might go through. AND IT DID! The interface let me put in my password.

Apparently their backend hasn't been updated because I couldn't then login with that new password.

After trying a few times I decided I should change it back so I go ahead and click "forgot my password". Now I'm filling in my "new" password and think that maybe I typed the wrong one the first time I was changing it so that's why I couldn't login. So I type in the SAME password (the one that I currently can't login with) and what message do I get? "You can't change your password to the one currently in use"

What an amazing piece of engineering. Somehow the same password is wrong AND currently in use at the same time.

I'm not sure what you mean by "not for files" - either you have some sort of filesystem, or you have a database.

But I'm guessing you're thinking about object storage. First implemented as [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_S3]Amazon S3[/url], later cloned by many (usually with the exact same API).
