Hey, folks! I finally took control of this old Twitter account that I have started back in 2013. I have since made a new Twitter, and I am active with it.

The new account is @seanballais, the same username that I used in this account before tonight. See you all!

(Me taking a break from studying)

Expectation: Takes a break for 5 minutes.

Reality: Consumes almost an hour chatting with friends.

@lynjacasassin How old na is your iPhone? iOS reduces the percentage it will charge the phone to as the phone ages to extend battery life as much as it can.

One C++ 20 feature I'd like to use once C++ 20 compiler support matures is the `contains()` method of the STL unordered set. It conveys the intended message more effectively than using `.find()` for checking for the existence of an object in a container.

My sister is so bored that she is now currently reading the Holy Bible.

You know what would be nice to have? A machine learning-based application that can translate a doctor's handwriting in prescriptions to something more readable.

That moment when you're in the flow of studying, but then your ballpen ran out of ink.

Effect of VSync on Your FPS

(Note: The computation for the FPS is basic, and the formula is from Lesson 24 of Lazy Foo's SDL 2 tutorial.)

Left: VSync On
Right: VSync Off

In SDL 2, scan codes return the actual key being pressed, modeled after the QWERTY keyboard. On the other hand, key codes return the key values themselves.

Example: Pressing 'O' in a Dvorak keyboard gives a scan code of 'S', and a key code of 'O'.

I find it so amusing that, here in Tacloban, the relief goods are not your typical canned goods and noodles. Rather, it's raw unprocessed food like whole chicken (yes, seriously) and fish.

This is actually a good move from the city government.

Linking a library to your code? Make sure that the compilers used to compile the library and your code are ABI-compatible with one another.

@peacheshonestly Haha. I have long lost interest in watching mainstream Filipino movies. If the quality of mainstream movies start becoming on par with Goyo and Heneral Luna, then I might start watching them again.

@sadiazazk_ @MrFrankBaraan Indeed! There are wonderful fresh stories that are still waiting to be told. We have an unlimited pool of stories, yet our entertainment industry dare not take risks. Parehos lang nung time na ayaw mong umamin kay crush, kasi takot ka sa risk.

@peacheshonestly Hahaha.

I have my qualms with Ang Probinsyano's quality. The show relies too heavily on zoom-in effects for dramatic effects. There are portions of acting that I find cringy. Framing and perhaps lighting as well could have been done better. Lastly, the plot is already too long.

I'm following this comment thread in an ABS-CBN News regarding Duterte's statement asking what those who criticize him have done to the country. I am disappointed that, in this particular thread, many Filipinos are using ad hominems over actual arguments.
