I’m curious what kind of project you are working on? I’m working on a procedural terrain generation open world game! Now it’s your turn to tell me!
Multiple ones.
- Wave Function Collapse for an existing tileset (Warcraft 2) - it’s really hard to figure out how to build the data on whether a tile fits on a certain side of another tile. From the top of my head: Some 180 tiles total * 4 sides to compare * 180 options per side = 129_600 total checks I would need to do, which is just wayyy too much. Need to figure out how to reduce these checks (or automate them using OpenCV or something - not sure yet)
- Comparing dual datasets of people who worked on certain games (the games being all Warcraft games), so I can see who worked on Game A, who on Game B, and who on both. Am currently (manually) cleaning up the data, because Blizzard has been very inconsistent in how they structure their credits. At least WoW had everything available in HTML - having to manually copy over 600+ people would be no fun (per expansion).
- A cryptocoin predictor for my friends and I. One part ingestion from an API into a Postgres DB, one part Streamlit + some stats / data science stuff that I’m very much a beginner in. The platform we’re on doesn’t provide much predictive power. Using the typical Simple Moving Averages and the like simply doesn’t predict clearly enough, IMO.
Oh, and I’m also setting up a private ProxMox server, over at a friends house, and need to connect that to the NAS over at my house, so we can copy over our data for redundancy/backup purposes.
I’m bouncing between these projects.
custom nifi processor
How is Nifi? I’ve seen it pass by at work, as a generic ingestion application, but for most ingestions we’re using custom-written Python for better flexibility.
I’ve never worked with it, but it looked pretty daunting (as an initial view).
Changing a lot of code from a single delete to multiple deletes for drugs in a database now.
Then working on creating a full usermanual for the website from scratch…fml
E-commerce SPA websites
A set of scripts that download Chaturbate videos, also keep track of what’s currently downloading, give a history of what’s been downloaded, and automate recompressing to HEVC.
I’m workshopping ideas for a new GUI for it, but don’t know where it’s safe to ask NSFW programming questions.
Just a reminder that reencoding already compressed videos is a recipe for destroying the quality, unless you’re using a very high bitrate, which quite often gets you the same size as the input video.
I think the consensus is that if your video isn’t 4k or higher, there isn’t much gain in using HEVC if it is already H.264.
So if you want to store them long term, reencoding them now means that if you decide to do it again later (for whatever reason) you’ll have too many artifacts accumulated.
You can leave out the NSFW parts. What you’re downloading doesn’t have to be mentioned.
