Game developer, software engineer, 3D artist, and an all-rounded geek in many other subjects. Contains traces of peanuts. I love peanuts.

I barely tweet, but I'm following a ton of cool people here. Glad to see that many of them have already moved. If Twitter goes down, you can find me here: @[email protected]

Hope to see you there!

Several key people have already left and it's likely our startup won't survive. If you need a generalist software engineer with experience in C# (Unity, ASP NET Core), C++ (IoT, OpenGL, Vulkan, Other Random Stuff), Python (Django), Java (Android) please contact me.

Spent the last year+ working for a VR startup. We were making VR training software for passenger aircraft ground handling. Our CEO told us that, thanks to COVID-19, our customers can't pay, our projects are on hold and that we must all take an unpaid vacation until AT LEAST May.

Do you know about Article 13? It's a proposed EU copyright rule that forces platforms to police all uploads just to be safe. You can help stop this from becoming reality. Find out how at https://t.co/Ta17UuBzw4

@MustafaKorkmazD Alright, thank you. By "when you want", you mean once I free up, right?

[Manvydas Šliamka @Manvis]

I'm still looking for a job and tweeting this again. My interests and experience:

• OpenGL and Vulkan dev using C++
• Android app dev using Java (recently started learning Flutter)
• Some Django dev.
• Some 3D modelling knowledge.

I'm from Lithuania and unable to relocate.

@VrDevBrad Thanks for the link.

[Manvydas Šliamka @Manvis]

I'm mostly interested in graphics/VR/gamedev jobs, with app development a close second. However, I'm open to other suggestions.

@aras_p Try Darktable (that's what I use) or RawTherapee. I've never used Lightroom, but I heard Darktable's UI is similar.

[Manvydas Šliamka @Manvis]

Clang does warn. Even without explicitly enabled warnings.

[Manvydas Šliamka @Manvis]

C++ PSA. Turns out, multiplying an integral std::duration by a float fraction (e.g. 0.8f) yields zero and (at least GCC) doesn't produce a warning despite having -Wall -Wextra -pedantic set. You need to enable -Wconversion as well to see it.

Sigh. What a waste of time.

[Manvydas Šliamka @Manvis]

Naturally, I had to sit though an hour of updates just to get to that point.

Moreover, Windows 10 re-enabled fast boot, which prevented me from booting into Ubuntu. Again.

Why does Windows 10 reset some settings after each bigger update?

[Manvydas Šliamka @Manvis]

Booted Windows for first time in months because I wanted to see if my thread pool and profiler compile with MSVC.

The profiler does (after some minor pain with macros).

Thread pool does not. I ran into a known MSVC bug: https://t.co/XiNw7BNR3P

[Manvydas Šliamka @Manvis]

After a ton of poking around, I'm now finally sure that if want to work in gamedev, I'll have to leave Lithuania, which I can't do for the time being.

Maybe I should just bite the bullet and look for something that would pay the bills.

[Manvydas Šliamka @Manvis]

There we go. My header only C++17 thread pool + thread profiler library is now live on GitHub: https://t.co/V8W5KwgMSV

I'd be grateful for any suggestions or constructive criticism.

[Manvydas Šliamka @Manvis]

I just need to fix a couple more warnings, make sure the documentation is complete and write an example.

I really hope that thing will be useful to more people than just me.

[Manvydas Šliamka @Manvis]

Over these past few days, I've been intermixing job hunting with coding.

Originally, I wanted to make a thread pool + a simple profiler for my engine. However, I realized a thing like that may be useful for other projects as well, which is why I'll put it on GitHub later today.

[Manvydas Šliamka @Manvis]

Oh. Well that's anticlimactic. I forgot to change the vertex input attribute descriptions...

[Manvydas Šliamka @Manvis]

After a lot of changes in the asset pipeline of my @VulkanAPI based hobby engine, it finally starts again. 🎉YAY🎉

I didn't have the massive gaping hole in the skybox before, though.

Oh well, since I DON'T HAVE A JOB (wink wink nudge nudge), I have a ton of free time to fix it.
