And then you find out your doctor is consulting the same AI.

100% agree, buddy.

This is why I only go to places like WebMD and Mayo Clinic when I'm looking for medical advice. At least I know these two sites are backed and maintained by top notch medical systems.

Pseudo intellectualism sounds a bit pseudo-intellectual...

Ha ha ha. It was a cool phrase man. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

At some point, there must be a tipping point where pseudo stops being pseudo and becomes real. I suspect that there's no hard delineation there, but it's interesting to think that there's a grey area where one slips over into the other.

Long time no see, buddy. And totally agree. But, two things to consider...
1) Experience is the real teacher in life. You cannot really learn something until you go through it. Let me give an analogy. You can read about heart break in books or watch YouTube for a year. You may think you're an expert. Nothing will prepare you for the real thing. Experience.
This doesn't mean don't read, but even Einstein agreed there is another tipping point where books can do just as much harm as reading nothing at all, when they become a crutch. At some point, you need to apply that knowledge to really learn.
2) There's no guarantee the master carpenter isn't also studied and experienced. Maybe they haven't kept up and you do surpass them. I've met a lot of ignorant doctors for instance. But without that experience there are things you really don't know and never will... maybe like why things are the way they are. And it's folly to assume before you even talk to them that your YouTube videos makes you better. As in, a real intellectual will ascertain first.
Now, you can learn from other people's experience, but you also have to actually talk to them rather than insult them before speaking to them because you watched a video. Which never happens online. It's just an ego trip by most from what I've seen.

It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.

Until you meet the guy who watched, two, count them, two YouTube videos on the topic..

Ha ha ha ha. Kneel before Zod! Am I right?

Yes, I've found that, generally, I have to watch at least three YouTube videos to become a true expert.
Will Rogers never met me.

Hey all, long time passive viewer of all things CP, but especially the Daily Insider. Over the last ~10 days I haven't had one Daily Insider come through, which means ... withdrawal symptoms . Looks like I'm still subscribed, and not going to Spam, so I was just wondering if anyone else is having this issue?
Cheers

It has been reported there for at least a week. It looks like Kent is out of commission for some reason. Not sure what.

Thanks for the heads-up, I had no idea
Clearly I'm not the only one struggling with this

Same here! I'm also going through withdrawal. I verified it's not come in for me since August 29th. What's up?

Same, and just like last week, I did receive the weekly newsletter.
I'm taking for granted whoever writes the Daily Insider ("Ken"?) took some time off. Strictly speaking, it's still summer.

After a ton of work hacking away at plutovg and integrating its functionality, I came up with this API
using color_t = color<TYPE>;
const int width = 80;
const int height = 80;
bmp = create_bitmap<TYPE>(size16(width,height));
bmp.fill(bmp.bounds(),color_t::blue);
float center_x = width / 2.f;
float center_y = height / 2.f;
float face_radius = 35;
float eye_radius = 5;
float mouth_radius = 25;
float eye_offset_x = 12;
float eye_offset_y = 10;
float eye_x = center_x - eye_offset_x;
float eye_y = center_y - eye_offset_y;
canvas c(size16(width,height));
c.on_write_callback([](const rect16& bounds, rgba_pixel<32> color, void* state){
return bmp.fill(bounds,color);
});
c.on_read_callback([](point16 location,rgba_pixel<32>* out_color, void* state){
return bmp.point(location,out_color);
});
c.initialize();
c.arc({center_x,center_y},face_radius,0,math::two_pi,0);
c.fill_color(color_t::yellow);
c.stroke_color(color_t::black);
canvas_stroke_style style = c.stroke_style();
style.width = 5;
c.stroke_style(style);
c.render();
c.arc({eye_x,eye_y},eye_radius,0,math::two_pi,false);
c.arc(pointf(eye_offset_x+center_x,eye_y),eye_radius,0,math::two_pi,false);
c.stroke_paint_type(canvas_paint_type::none);
c.fill_color(color_t::black);
c.render();
c.arc({center_x,center_y},mouth_radius,0,math::pi,0);
c.fill_paint_type(canvas_paint_type::none);
c.render();
print_ascii(bmp);
free(bmp.begin());
This draws a smiley face, all pretty and anti-aliased.
Unfortunately it's more complicated to use than I'd like owing to all the capabilities and options.
Either way, I'm thrilled to have gotten this far. I had to gut plutovg, and I'll probably do more.

Unless I am way off in the left field , mistaken, did "Code project" instructions "how to reply" included
" do not reply with "Google it" , the OP probably already did that"...
Am I wrong?
Please JUST confirm - there are more pleasant things in life than to dwell on something which cannot be rectified.
Of course for challenged , hard to hear "contributor" , it would not make any difference anyway.

The rant is a perfectly valid post for the lounge.
I am not blaming, only correcting, you
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
