    Life Advice
    I have survived for 35 years already. And I have some wisdom to share with you, dear sisters.
    1. Never invest into anything long-term, unless it is an absolute requirement. I.e. if you came to Ukraine in hope of getting political asylum and consider investing your time into learning Ukrainian language - just don't. The chances are high you will be denied asylum and anything you've learned won't be useful. Same applies to job opportunities - don't learn any unique skills in order to gain a job, because it is possible the vacancy will be closed or they will fire or mistreat you, knowing your skills are very niche and you won't find another employment. Back in Ukraine I invested into learning Ukrainian - got no value from that. Here in NL I began learning Dutch before they kicked me out of the lessons when I began cross-dressing and calling myself Nancy. So just don't waste time learning anything, unless it immediately pays, like you're already granted political asylum, and learning Dutch is the condition for it.
    2. Don't depend on anything, especially on your smartphone or internet access or notebooks being present. My phones were confiscated by FSB and cops and broken by gopniks so many times I have lost count, and cops also confiscate notebooks to get passwords to your account and find any incriminating evidence. So don't write anything into your phone or notebooks, unless you're a master of steganography, but even then you won't be able to access your hidden notes, since the device and your notes were confiscated. If you need to have something stored in digital form, like it is your personal project, then make backups and store them on different devices, stashed at different places. That is how I was able to preserve Spell of Mastery and Symta source code: despite a large portion of my devices being confiscated, I had stashed backup USB flashes, which FSB hadn't found. And if Russians confiscate anything, you will never see it back, even if the court acquits you, which Russian courts never do (once there is a crime case, you are as good as convicted).
    3. Don't make plans, especially long-term plans. All plans will go wrong, and not because plans are bad, but because everything around you changes unpredictably. Don't have backup plans either. Learn to improvise and look for immediate opportunities to use. I.e. no bullshit like "I will go to college, gain this useful specialty, get a nice job, get married, will stash enough money to buy a house." Just don't. It never works. And instead of a house, you will have debt plus wasted time. Better learn shoplifting. You don't need college for that, and lifting stuff will save you money immediately. Any nigger in this refugee camp can confirm my words.
    4. Don't be afraid to lie, especially when your personal gain depends on you lying or not. Forget all this brainwashing about "being honest." Telling the truth never pays. Had I been telling the truth about my education and previous work experience at the job interviews, I would have missed every single one of them. No. HR are not interested in the fact that you spent the last 10 years in a mental asylum, and what brands of anti-psychotics shrinks fed you with. Others are dishonest, so you must be double dishonest to get anywhere. Almost all refugees here lie about their hardships, and those getting residency permits, instead of deportation, are the ones who lie the most.
    5. Don't be afraid to follow your dreams. If you hate your country, then leave it, maybe backstabbing it first. If you want to be a girl, then go for it and order hormones from darknet, or your local Moroccan drug dealer. Stop respecting your despotic parents and following the dumb social rules and government laws, which are here to oppress you and impede your progress towards your personal happiness.
    6. Never blame yourself. Most your troubles are the result of literal human garbage surrounding you and trying to mold to be part of their soulless fecal mass.

    That is pretty much all.

    Wish you a beautiful day, sisters.

    Converting Voxel Model to Polygonal Mesh
    Doing it properly turned out to be a much harder problem, than I have anticipated.
    Creating a mesh is easy and can be done using different approaches.
    Yet texturing it afterwards is anything but trivial and requires mesh unwrapping.
    Proper mesh unwrapping implementation takes 500k of C/C++ code and does really crazy stuff:

    That is 3 times more than all my code processing voxels.
    Up until recently, artists did mesh unwrapping manually, because there were no automate solutions at all.
    Because the problem is just that hard.

    Mesh Unwrapping
    Apparently the technical term for UV generation is "surface mesh parameterization".
    And there is some code stolen from Inria's OpenNL, which for some reason was taken offline:
    https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/blob/master/Surface_mesh_parameterization/examples/Surface_mesh_parameterization/lscm.cpp

    No idea what was the OpenNL license, but I don't plan open sourcing my code, so I can just take anything, without caring about the license. And after it gets compiled it is impossible to prove the source code theft, unless the algorithm itself is patented. Then again, 3DCoat uses this exact algorithm, and I doubt Ukrainians license anything beside Russian gas. The hardest part is downloading that repository on my unstable connection, and then isolating the algorithm from this stinking garbage pile.
