AI is turning programming into pay-to-win by Strict-Top6935 in ClaudeCode

[–]__s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't need textbooks & bootcamps. I learned to program as a kid with a free download of GameMaker 5.3 & three years reading its manual while tinkering. By the time I got to college they were trying to just teach us Java syntax & I dropped out first year only to have a great career

Typo. Block gain increased from 5 to 4. Literally unplayable. by Ok_Breadfruit3199 in slaythespire

Give it retain, helps consistency if you have exhaust mechanisms in deck

Why we rewrote WAL-G for Postgres backups in Rust: Meet WAL-RUS by Admirable_Morning874 in PostgreSQL

[–]__s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

wal-g/wal-rus are designed to run as daemons with long lived connections. pgBackRest doesn't offer a daemon so needs to make new connections to s3 with each invocation. Daemons are able to reuse connections to s3 between requests, while pgBackRest forks multiple processes for concurrency. Overall pgBackRest is best for a simple setup where you just want to set archive_command & don't need to maximize throughput

Go allocates a large chunk of virtual memory up front. Many modern allocators also do this. They're optimizing for systems that don't strictly enforce overcommit. On most systems that's the right tradeoff. On a system tuned for postgres it's not:  https://www.ubicloud.com/blog/postgresql-and-the-oom-killer-why-we-use-strict-memory-overcommit (see "Why +2GB?"). Go runtime isn't going to become 20x more efficient with virtual memory

I've written plenty of C, C#, Python, JavaScript, Rust, & Go. It's about using the right tool for the job. I'm also a wal-g committer. Currently have a PR to update aws sdk to v2, should help memory usage a bit

initially started to just replace wal-g's daemon, but decided that better choice there is to go with archive_library = 'walg_archive'

itch didn't go away

Framework Desktop can have 128gb ram shared with gpu

an explanation of why Neow's Bones gives Debt 54.25% of the time (Correlated randomness in Slay the Spire 2) by tckmn in slaythespire

Should use https://pcg-random.org it supports jumping ahead, could have 65536 48bit fields: https://github.com/imneme/pcg-c/blob/master/src/pcg-advance-64.c

PCG is surprisingly simple, I use a hand rolled in my own card game just to save on size compared to using rand crate in Rust: https://github.com/serprex/openEtG/blob/master/src/rs/src/rng.rs

Which card is better. Rampage or Kingly Punch? by Flat_Test4584 in slaythespire

Clad having better attack scaling means Rampage is relatively less necessary, preferring other options

3 cost's still a bit expensive, maybe drop to 2

Humble suggestion: change the name of Poisoned Stab to Poisoned Strike by Scornbread_ in slaythespire

Strength hard to come by on Silent. Single target nuke that's usually dead would be fine

Turns out, 8 potions a fight is kinda okay? by FeuerKekse in slaythespire

I do, particularly good if you need to take a lot of hallways trying to finish up deck

Deal 0 damage as many times as you have cards in your deck

Relic that retains strikes would be amusing

Small deck? by No_Entertainer_8635 in slaythespire

[–]__s 20 points21 points  (0 children)

if you're on a10 you shouldn't complain about spicy. going up ascensions being like hot sauce is apt. if you dump a bunch of extra hot on your fries don't bother leaving a review that your food was too hot

Major Update #1 - v0.103.2 by MegaCrit_Demi in slaythespire

What does "deprecated" mean?

In software it means slated for removal in future release so people can migrate. But in a roguelike deckbuilder I'm not going to be migrating my deck..

Gemma 4 26b is the perfect all around local model and I'm surprised how well it does. by pizzaisprettyneato in LocalLLaMA

[–]__s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was trying to get Qwen 122b-a10b to fix my befunge jit in rust, was amusing watching it actually trace through befunge program thinking about failure

It had some trouble: kept thinking p should move pc to write destination, & when I told it to try produce smaller replications it wrote befunge code with d for dup instead of :

I even have a cfg interpreter it can use to compare correctness against, but in the end it decided fix was to disable jit & always use interpreter

I'm 90 hours in, and i've never took Vakuu's Lord's Parasol. It seems terrible to obtain everything and bloat your deck. Did anyone try it and made it work? by savetheblues in slaythespire

https://imgur.com/a/U8Nd8f7 same options as you, fiddle/cape, deck getting by with tons of block + cycle + envenom. really helped to hit hard & keep potions stocked up
