It took me too long to learn to wear safety glasses when working under a vehicle. But for an older, dirtier vehicle, you may need this: Bonus: It would have protected you from the puppy licks: Spoiler But yeah, if someone is doing some work for me, I introduce my dog, then lock her in a room until she settles down.

Delay Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) I could complain that calculating a 16384x16384 image of the Mandelbrot set with 63000 iterations takes a ridiculously long amount of time. I could complain about my ludicrously inefficient code (literally just iterating long doubles without any optimizations) , or that I'm using bmp as an output format (768MB) because it is the simplest. And I do know that there is much better software that does the exact same thing a lot faster. I just wanted my own. Instead, I'm just going complain about myself wanting such an image without any sane reason behind it. Why am I doing this to myself poor computer? Edit: the image is done. After 10 HOURS and 28 minutes. I need to learn how to write better code! Edited July 16, 2021 by Delay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
