I sincerely hope that I can choose something like IBM cloud to host my app, rather than blockchain contact.

But if you have to deal with zero-trust things, then I guess that's the only way to go. At least you have to trust IBM before you order their super expensive hyper secured server. But for blockchain, you can only trust the math (and a reliable network).

Neo N3 is the most developer friendly blockchain, but it still has a long way to go.

Making a real world blockchain application is much harder than get a excellence award in Hackathon.

Scent of a woman

Last time, also the first time I watched it is 4 years ago, I was 17 and not expect that much of unexpected words, but the end of the movie still makes me excited.

4 years later I watched it again, but still not understanding too much. I can get the story, a story about two men. There are rich detials in this movie, like the change of Slade's react to his grandchildren, those are making this movie vivid.

But for some detials, like after they drove the Ferrari, Slade across the street, i didn't quite understand why he must do that.

Maybe I'd watch again after another 4 years.

Also I don't know why the second pic is reversed, weird.

Finally get through OpenCL's Hello World in Kotlin. Computing 3 million times sin and cos using GPU, total time is 456ms, 105ms is used to compute and read result back to CPU. On the other hand, CPU takes whole 891ms to compute cos and sin. Which I guess it's more convinced for me to just say "GPU is good for parallel computing". The result is more vivid than sentences.

After doing this, I though LWJGL's document on OpenCL is really bad. What all I referenced are Java test codes and C++ codes. And I rely on my experience a lot to debug it. It looks like JOCL's binding is more object oriented and more user friendly. But LWJGL is offering a integrated package of OpenGL, GLFW and OpenCL binding, which I guess I have to stick with it for now.

Besides auto converting Java bytecode to OpenCL kernel, Aparapi seems much easier to get start with. Without dealing a lot of data copying and buffer creating things, life is much simpler.

I might write a blog(in Chinese of course, since I'm a Chinese, maybe I'll commit this program to LWJGL as a OpenCL HelloWorld) to describe where you should take a good care with LWJGL's OpenCL binding, where I actually crash the JVM by doing it wrong. (BTW, using println to locate the crash point is way faster than step through XD)

Now I achieved 11+ fps with GLSL shaders to draw a colored circle. This circle has been sliced into 30e5 segments and CPU only give a index of each segment, then shader computes each vertex's coordinate and give them color.

I think that is a nice try for a OpenGL beginner.

Encountered a mind-blowing problem with OpenGL.

When I finally drew a circle using LWJGL with OpenGL, I tried moving my code from glBegin/glEnd calls to VBOs, and today I tried to make my code using shaders. And problem is here.

I draw a circle by slicing it into some segments and calculate the coordinates of points on the edge, then I can use GL_TRIANGLE_FAN or GL_LINE_LOOP to draw a circle. I randomly choose a color by assigning red equals cos(theta), where the i th theta is 2 * pi * i divided by total segments.

If I draw the circle using GL_LINE_LOOP, the color on the edge is correct, where only theta in mines pi to pi is positive number, thus given the red color, which should be the right hand side of the circle. Picture 1 is a compare that on the left I used GL_COLOR_ARRAY client state to draw color, on the right side I use shader but calculated cos before fragment shader(both in CPU part and vertex shader, they are same in result). In picture 2, I calculate cos value in the fragment shader by the theta passed by vertex shader. And it shows on the right of the picture, which is pretty odd.

I knew there other stages between vertex shader and fragment shader, but how they effect those color or theta value? Also on the left side of picture, color gradient given by fixed pipeline also seems a little bit weird.

BTW I have no ideas about where to find those documents. LWJGL doesn't have a detailed document on OpenGL(which I guess they of course not have one), and on the OpenGL side, the documents are just overwhelmed me...

Medicine always amazing

As soon as I take the first pill, my nose feels much better.

I want to draw a circle using lwjgl (with OpenGL as underlying library) as a hello world program

...and the jvm just keep crashing

Fine.

Anything related to C++ is hard.

Dual screen works fine for me.

Another use of dual screen is laptop for gaming guides, monitor for switch XD
