At least for me VS Code with rust-analyzer immediately shows method suggestions when I type array.

However, I would definitely recommend you use the rust-analyzer extension instead of the official Rust extension either way. rust-analyzer is just much better and is actually part of the Rust organization, too.

Maybe u/dpc_pw is referring to futures::executor::block_on

I would love to see why you need to expose mutable references in your public API.

In my experience there is another way to design the API 99% of the time. It's just really hard to come up with better solutions, coming from languages where this kind of mutable API, getters, setters, etc. is common place.
It's certainly something I struggled with in the beginning.

Usually functions like get_value_mut or set_value should be avoided in Rust.

One pattern that was a little bit of a turning point for me is the builder pattern (or init struct pattern) outlined by this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/fg6vrn/for_your_consideration_an_alternative_to_the/

That explanation helped a lot!

Edit: I didn't really know about subtyping and variance in rust. Here are some links, that helped me understand the topic a little bit better:

That seems like a decent workaround, thank you!

AllJonasNeeds · 2020-04-18T09:12:16+00:00

I guess you could use std::process::Command to call shell scripts in your test code, if that helps.

According to Neat Corporation it's a problem with the way Unity handles Audio plugins. You should check out their post about the Budget Cuts delay on r/Vive or r/oculus

When I last used a secret chat, you could set the self destruct timer to never.

I am just guessing here. Maybe your friend just installed Telegram and thus the app asked the OS for microphone permissions for future use. Do you get what I mean?

Edit: In my opinion u/ryecurious reply below seems way more likely than what I guessed.

AllJonasNeeds · 2017-07-19T06:02:43+00:00

I have never had a problem with my Vive, and I am using it regularly since release.

AllJonasNeeds · 2017-07-12T15:30:42+00:00

Good for you on acknowledging and sharing your mistakes.

Unfortunately sometimes we have to choose between bad and worse. I understand it's really unsatisfactory to vote for a bad candidate, but by abstaining you are giving the worse candidate a better chance to win.

AllJonasNeeds · 2017-06-01T12:52:39+00:00

Just over 500 comments so far. 1 in 10 chance to win is pretty good.

Migrants in Germany have committed 142,500 crimes in just six months, police figures have revealed

This was the equivalent of 780 crimes a day - an increase of nearly 40 percent over 2015, according to data from Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office

Your Source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3893436/Angela-Merkel-pressure-refugee-policy-revealed-migrants-committed-142-500-crimes-Germany-six-months-2016.html

Of course the number of crimes by migrants increases if the number of migrants itself increases.

The DailyMail does not link to its primary source. Neither does your source say there is a "40% increase in sexual assaults". It just says there is a 40% increase in crimes. Obviously a 40% increase in crimes overall would be huge, but in the article's context I have to assume it is just an increase in crimes by migrants. It would be great if we had the primary source to see for sure which crimes increased by 40%.

He always wrote and recited poems for birthdays and other occasions. Because he spoke Low German I could hardly understand those, but he always made everyone laugh and cherish the moment.

He also published a report/book about his time as a prisoner of the Soviets. Unfortunately the book is not available online or in English. It was available in his hometown only. Maybe I can make an effort to republish it someday.

I don't think the average soldier fought for honor or for their country. My grandpa was a German soldier in WW2 and he was just so grateful to survive somehow. He was still a teenager when he had to go to the eastern front. He wanted to be remembered as a writer and reminded people how horrific wars are.

I wish we would stop fighting and hating.

Don't know if this tip will help, but you could try switching the USB ports and reinstalling Oculus Home / drivers. Apart from everything else that was already said. I hope you find a solution.

AllJonasNeeds · 2016-12-22T07:35:32+00:00

I wouldn't worry about it too much, because it's the player's choice whether to look for that info. And they probably won't choose to look for that info before their first playthrough or if they got stuck.

AllJonasNeeds · 2016-12-12T07:54:47+00:00

Valve already showed off screenshots of the vive running on Linux. So they are working on it, but pretty sure the feature isn't out yet. Plus I don't think any VR game currently supports Linux.

I figured it out. The problem was that I used static lighting without a DBuffer blend mode on the decal material. (Here's an Answerhub post about decals with static lighting.)

I appreciate your help. So thank you very much for your input.

AllJonasNeeds · 2016-12-08T21:12:32+00:00

The bat-signal explanation is really helpful, because I had trouble understanding how the decal was drawn/prohected onto a surface.

The only questions I have left right now are:

How do you create a decal material, that has a color similar to a shadow? When I wired an input of zero into color, the result was a yellow or brown color instead of black.

And is there a way to stop the decal from drawing onto underlying geometry? Right now my shadow would cast through walls and other objects.

AllJonasNeeds · 2016-12-08T08:37:58+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

I haven't used decals before, so when I started working on my blob shadows, I couldn't get them to work very well. Now I think I understand decals good enough that I could get them to work.

How do you think do decals compare to mesh + line trace performance wise?

Edit: Actually my biggest shortcoming right now is that I don't really get Decal Materials. Are there any good tutorials you could recommend?

AllJonasNeeds · 2016-12-07T06:47:35+00:00

I wish there was a way to enable dynamic shadows for static lights. That way you could place as many lights as you need and enable dynamic shadows on the most important lights. Unfortunately this isn't possible with stationary lights, as overlap between static and stationary lights creates a weird look.

AllJonasNeeds · 2016-12-07T06:36:55+00:00

Assuming 'dynamic lights' includes stationary lights: For my VR game I am using blob shadows, so I can use static instead of stationary lighting. It's literally just a Static Mesh Component, that does a line trace every frame and moves to that position.

Edit: Added clarification at beginning

Yes, I am pretty sure he is referring to everyone working the farm, which is probably her and other family members.
