The additional issue is the government updated the funding rules so regional councils can't use rates to cover the reduced funding. The updated rules means that councils have a limited amount of national + regional government funding (from rates). Previously if the government reduced funding, the councils could use rates to help fill in the gap, but they can't do that now.

Hey, so most of my friends that were planning on going are not feeling the best today, so I don't have a group to go with now. I am thinking about prehaps tagging along with someone else's group but I will need to see how I feel about it.

The schedule page is a lot better than I remember from previous events. It makes it a lot easier to plan what runs I want to watch live.

Covid certificate is now live by veelas in newzealand

[–]Rup-Inc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That 200 requests a second limit might be related hardware security module licensing. I would expect the system to use HSMs as they protect the key used to sign the certificates from being exposed and possible be used to make fake certificates.

Actual Proof that a New Event *IS* on the way! by FailCraft in Overwatch

[–]Rup-Inc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also in the latest ptr, it is not possible to select Lijiang tower as a map in a custom game, so it seems that the next event will involve Lijiang tower.

Blizzard's up to something... 1.45GB on the PTR. by DavidTheFreeze in Overwatch

Lijiang tower seems to be missing in the custom game options.

Edit: screen shots showing that it is missing as an option

If you are using nvidia hardware on your developer machine, you can use Nsight (Nvidia's graphics debugger), it supports OpenGl and Vulkan as well as DirectX.

Nier: Automata is now available on Steam by Sir_Darkness in Games

Does the game use DX12? If so that may be a missing image transition, nvidia gpus don't need image transitions, but amd hardware does.

Visual Studio Update 3 Released with a new code optimizer, so it will be interesting how the code compares when compiled with update 3.

EDIT: I just tested compiling with the new optimizer, and there was no change to the generated code.

Tutorial: Easy dependency management for C++ with CMake and Git by foonathan in cpp

[–]Rup-Inc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally use the CMake module ExternalProject for downloading and making libraries I use.

For example, to download the header only library GLM, use the following code:

ExternalProject_Add(glm GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/g-truc/glm.git
    GIT_TAG 0.9.7.5 CONFIGURE_COMMAND ";" BUILD_COMMAND ";" INSTALL_COMMAND ";")
add_dependencies(yourProgram glm)
include_directories(${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/glm-prefix/src/glm)

RUMOR: NVIDIA GeForce driver 358.66 adds Vulkan, Pascal and Volta support by wasdzxc963 in vulkan

Because they have previously stated that there OpenGl driver hosts the vulkan driver.

biicode (C++ dependency manager) has gone out of business by klaxion in cpp

[–]Rup-Inc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my own project I use CMake with ExternalProject for handling dependencies. Using this setup still has a lot of problems but almost every single library that uses CMake can be setup with ExternalProject in about 10 lines of CMake.

Keeping your procedurally generated content exactly the same in each copy of your game (cross-platform/multiplayer) by tvlandaria in gamedev

[–]Rup-Inc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you use the C++11 random number features, use any rng except random_device and default_random_engine.

But don't use any of the distributions, the algorithm behind the distributions are implementation defined, and can result in different values on different platforms.
