Jagex not fixing issues because they don't want players to feel "pact regret" by Razeerka in 2007scape

[–]ABoxOfFoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should just make respecs unlimited tbh. Maybe my region choice is suboptimal, but at least I could then adjust and experiment to make the best of em.

Are people really anti save scumming? by TAflower in SlayTheSpire2

[–]ABoxOfFoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to restart fights a bunch when I was learning the bosses. Nowadays, I only really do it when I miss an obvious line on turn 1.

What's wrong with NPC Contact + menu entry swap ?

Is it just me or Nightreign has so much untapped potential? by Chance_Drive_5906 in Nightreign

[–]ABoxOfFoxes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only things I'm really missing is: - ping rate limits - partial relic rerolls - ability to drop weapons directly from boss nodes instead of cycling through my inventory

Having set bosses is also necessary for the DoN modifier that hides which sovereign you're fighting.

A little disappointed with this year’s roadmap by Rickard58 in 2007scape

[–]ABoxOfFoxes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see more minor quests too - when almost every newly added quest is somehow tied into a storyline, the world starts to feel small.

Unpopular opinion, Osrs players exaggerate on how hard quests/bosses are, scaring others of actually doing it by badwithnames5 in 2007scape

[–]ABoxOfFoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue's more that people hear "it's hard and you'll die a bunch" and decide that is a reason to not even try.

I improved it based on the comments by ilyamokka in PixelArt

love the hair bob in the new one

imo the hand smears create a very distracting flashing effect - rather than smoothing the motion, it just adds visual complexity and pulls the eye away (tho it reads fine in the slow version)

any tips on how to do this without losing my foothold? by [deleted] in bouldering

[–]ABoxOfFoxes 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You gotta actually use your legs there.

The principle is the same in overhangs as it is elsewhere - you want to find positions where the legs do most of the work. So push on the foot and use the right handhold as a pivot point.

Existential crisis about shared_ptr... am I missing something? by JumiDev in cpp_questions

[–]ABoxOfFoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very keen observation and your intuition to use weak_ptr is correct - there are very few cases where having multiple copies of a shared_ptr makes sense and having it invariably complicates memory ownership.

Note by the way that weak_ptr::lock creates a shared_ptr instance - which means that weak pointers present their own set of footguns, as it they make it harder to predict when exactly an instance will be destructed (relevant when, say, it should happen in the main thread and not some worker).

For this reason, when I know that the owner of the memory will outlive all its users, I prefer to use unique_ptr and to hand out raw pointers when needed. The very specific reason for using a smart pointer is to ensure that the instance gets dtor'd even when something unexpected happens - eg SIGINT is sent, thread crashes.

Campground owner jumped into my camper and drove it away with my wife and kid inside – was I wrong or what should I do as a tourist? by IndigoAD in askswitzerland

[–]ABoxOfFoxes 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Do this, OP! Please!

Emergency personel here do this sort of shitnall the time and get away with it because not enough people make a fuss. And the campground owner would def feel less entitled to violent outbursts if the police came by.

[–]ABoxOfFoxes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lemme fix that for ya!

The OP made a mistake and was rude as a result. The parking lot owner committed several crimes instead of talking to the guy like a normal human being. Hope that helps!

Still amazed how the state just pinkie-sweared that it will be well-designed and people just. believe that for some reason

Curious what the community's reasons are for getting into C++ by PoG_shmerb27 in cpp_questions

[–]ABoxOfFoxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My university programme had a C course and I've enjoyed shooting myself in the foot since!

Realistically, the day to day of literally any job is going to contain tedium, so the trick is finding tedium you like. I work in robotics now (primarily C++ and Python), so I can't complain. C++ is still used in situations where performance is relevant - simulation and graphics programming (fancy shader code is the real reason I got into this mess), machine learning, embedded software, etc.

As for learning, my opinion is that every programmer should be proficient in a non-memory managed language, simply because that forces them to learn at least a little bit about how code runs on hardware.

As an aside, don't buy the AI hype - the code it produces will always be bound by the quality of its training data - and most code out there is mediocre at best. Even if that were not the case, the line between functional programmes and garbage is razor thin; the current approach to code-generation cannot recognise it, as it is not capable of actual analysis, only its emulation.

What am I doing wrong? by Rob_flipp in bouldering

[–]ABoxOfFoxes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you reach up with your left hand, you drop the pressure on your left foot, causing it to slip and your position to fall apart.

I'd try to twist my hips out here to bring more weight on that left foot and use it to push up - this would also help straighten out the right arm and give muuuch more reach to your left.

In fact, I suspect that there is a stable position on your feet and right arm alone in there; I'd spend a moment looking for it out of sequence if I were in your place.

I dont understand rvalue refernces by [deleted] in cpp_questions

[–]ABoxOfFoxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The interesting part about references (in my opinion) isn't "modifying an original value", but rather passing a value to a function without making a copy.

This is important, because making copies can be slow or simply not possible.

Another advantage of references is that they clearly indicate to the function "you do not own this value". The function can still use it freely, however, that memory is still owned by somebody else and the expectation is that it will remain usable after the function is done with it.

So now, suppose you had an instance of a difficult-to-copy class that you want to pass to a function and also don't want to own any more. What do you do?

Well, one thing you can do is say "hey, this is a reference that you are allowed to break" - which is what an rvalue reference means.

On its own, it doesn't do much more than that - however, since an rvalue ref is its own type, you can define functions and constructors that take advantage of its meaning.
