what bothers me the most is that my stress is almost entirely internally caused, it feels so stupid

when you think about it, cameras absorb photons that could've been seen by something or someone else, so it's basically depriving the rest of the world the opportunity to see them

he started chewing on this barbed plant stem
I'm not sure what he meant by this but it feels like a threat

me: you're so pretty in there!! 🥰📸
Lucky: yeah pretty tired of getting a camera in my face. get out of my lookout spot princess, I'm on official fuckin business, a type of business you really don't want to get involved in

"yeah thats right this is MY litter box and MY cat trees dont you dare come close with your fuckass "camera" you punk ass bitch"

I've never had a cat treat me *exactly* the way they treat rival cats, it was bizarre and legit kind of intimidating

if that boundary parabola is known then checking which side it's on is a direct evaluation, no need to root solve!
comment in response to
post
very close unfortunately, so I can't scan any cats that aren't willing to get close to me
I wish I had a long range cat collectible scanner though!

bc if that's a quadratic, then that would be a pretty fast bounds check!

I linked my specific use case! I want to use the results of submitting a form on a website that likely doesn't have a public API. at least not to my knowledge, yet
comment in response to

oh huh wait is the curved yellow/red boundary also a quadratic?
comment in response to
post
we do, but it was relatively recently introduced and isn't really enforced retroactively (ie: for cats you got before the rule was in place) even though it applies to those cats too
comment in response to

thanks! I'm really happy with how it turned out too!

I know a cat named anna-greta so yeah why not an anna-glyph

not sure! either case is something to address

I have an RFID reader with me! so I just scan for a chip whenever the cats are social enough to get close to me
comment in response to
post
unfortunately phones don't capture that frequency range, you need a separate rfid reader device (which I have!)

I know of
vilse.nu
and
www.id-registret.se/saknad-katt/
and then there's a ton of local facebook groups yeah, they're usually good for reaching owners too
comment in response to
post
yeah, it's much easier to spot a lost dog, but it's hard to spot a lost cat because the circumstances look pretty similar to a cat just roaming near home

if your friend keeps cheating on their partners over and over again, and you can tell it's destructive to everyone involved, including your friend, aren't you morally compelled to intervene, at least in *some* way?
comment in response to
post
this gets into really weird moral territory but I do think most of us have thresholds both for how much we care and what we consider to be a non-invasive but sufficient intervention to attempt to fix something we perceive to be an actual problem
comment in response to
post
I do think it's a problem to have an outdoor cat without an ID yeah, because you're putting them at huge risk of getting lost and never finding their way back
but yeah, most people are probably a lot more careless about that than both me and the current law think they should be
comment in response to
post
I think the most reasonable explanation I can think of is that
1. I appear more concerned than most people to them
2. they then assume I don't know the cat is probably fine
3. they think I'm worried in a situation where I don't need to be
4. they'd like to reassure me that it's probably fine
comment in response to
post
I know that I, at least personally, have a really hard time receiving reassurances, because it legitimately comes across as either lying to me, or, downplaying my concerns, which probably colors my intuitions on this quite a lot
comment in response to
post
but I also don't quite know how to respond when they're effectively asking me to drop it w/o providing any actual evidence that I should
like imagine finding a human child who's clearly too young to be out alone, and someone says "well there's lots of families in the area, don't worry :)"

after it's happened multiple times it makes me wonder if I'm actually going crazy, bc it legit feels like I can't properly parse/understand people and/or phrase my questions in a way to make my intentions clear, so it almost feels like my introspection machinery is broken which is, scary?
(4/5)
comment in response to
post
it low-key feels like they want to help me rather than the cat, which, is weird to me, because, I'm perfectly fine?
or are they suspicious of me and want me to drop it and stop "being weird"?
or do they think I'm in the wrong to want to inquire about a cat with no identifiers?
(3/5)
comment in response to
post
I get the sense that they think I'm overly worried and that they want to reassure me that it's almost certainly fine
but like, I don't really need reassurance? I just want to find out if this cat is lost, so I can help the lil guy and report a found cat in various lost cat databases if so

i... I'm not sure
I didn't even know changing the basis was an option and I feel like this chart can't capture what just happened
comment in response to
post
the alternative would be to keep the {X,Y,Z} basis order, change all editor/rendering/input/rotation alignment code to match right handed Y up/Z forward, which would almost certainly break/rotate/mirror a ton of existing projects/code
there was also the option to leave it as is lol
comment in response to
post
in terms of the algebra, the order of the basis doesn't actually matter at all, but in code and sometimes in math when converting from vector form to matrix form, it's pretty much always implied that
[0] = x
[1] = y
[2] = z
and you generally assume that order when reading/parsing buffers of data
