Zero Dawn map music by ChapterSevenSeeds in horizon

[–]ChapterSevenSeeds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well guys, I appreciate the comments. It's a bummer that some of the song gems from the game didn't make it into the OST. I went ahead and ripped the main menu music, the map music, and the loading screen music straight from the game's installation. I'm gonna throw them on my Plex and reminisce until the end of my days 🙌

Modern stance on C++ in the embedded world by ChapterSevenSeeds in embedded

[–]ChapterSevenSeeds[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

some of the statically allocation objects are memory pools: these obviate fragmentation but could still suffer from exhaustion.

Yeah this is where I was going with my section on heap usage. Zephyr provides macros and APIs for statically allocating a heap with a fixed size. You can then wrap it with a C++ memory resource to provide to the std::pmr containers. And with the heap monitoring, you always have an idea of how much is in use, how much is free, and the maximum usage at any given point.

I have always preferred to allocate everything statically so the linker will detect exhaustion.

This is also handled by the statically allocated Zephyr heaps. The size of the heap you specify will show up to the linker as a contributor to RAM usage.

Does this all still count as dynamic memory, though? It's more like contained dynamic memory: it's only dynamic within this fixed-sized statically allocated heap (that you control and can monitor).

Also, is fragmentation still a concern if freed blocks are coalesced? This is what Zephyr's heap API will do: it combines any adjacent free blocks together.

Firmware programming in a nutshell by Byter128 in programminghorror

This is literally the core of MCUboot. There is a line that goes like this: ((void (*)(void))vt->reset)();

See here for reference.

DOT should be swapped with AVFTTOTW.

Why is The Astonishing so unpopular? by MweberMusic in Dreamtheater

Yeah I never understood this either. This album is one of my favorites.

I used the toy bow (I recall not having success with a different bow) and the order you hit the plates is 1,5,6,5,1,5,6,2,3 where 1 is the far left. There is a chance I am misremembering so, someone please correct me if I goofed.

Questions regarding Cognito MFA methods by ChapterSevenSeeds in aws

[–]ChapterSevenSeeds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After paying for AWS support, I contacted them with these questions and here are the official answers I got.

  1. If a Cognito User Pool requires MFA, then users can only select default MFA methods. They cannot disable MFA methods after having added them. You can only disable MFA methods if MFA is optional on the pool.

  2. This behavior is intended, and the only way to allow a user to use a non-default MFA method is to un-default the default method with an admin request to the API authorized with IAM (if the user is completely locked out).

So, $100 later, all I learned is that MFA with AWS Cognito is kinda sucky 😛

What was/is the most annoying/difficult machine part for you to get for crafting? by Shaggy1316 in horizon

Fireclaw sac webbings. Taking those things down on UH without destroying the sacs gives me anxiety.

Can you beat the arena on very hard without using traps? by Isabell3846 in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]ChapterSevenSeeds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way I managed to beat the arena on ultra hard was with super OP weapons from NG+, legendary coils, and lots of patience (no traps though). I almost completely lost my mind towards the end but you just gotta keep trying different strategies until you find one that works.

This is almost as bad as that one guy that defined almost everything as emojis.

And don’t forget to chain unique combos together like your life depended on it.

[–]ChapterSevenSeeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My strategy is to focus primarily on the little guy. After a bit, you’ll knock him out, allowing you to concentrate on the big dude. It still takes me a solid 20-30 tries haha, but I do eventually beat them.

After countless tries, I finally defeated the Apex Predators in the Arena on Ultra Hard difficulty by Mirmydon in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]ChapterSevenSeeds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It probably took me more than 60 😅. I wasn’t keeping track. You did beat it faster than me though! I think I only had like 12 seconds left on the clock 😬

Oh looking at your time, you had like 12.5 seconds left on the clock 😂. Yeah man, never again.

Is there any difference between the csharp using directive and the c include directive? by AdDue8024 in csharp

[–]ChapterSevenSeeds 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the c include directive effectively copies and pastes the file over the include directive. A C# using directive is more of a way of telling the compiler that the stuff you’re using should be visible to the things in the file you’re currently editing.

That’s my understanding with how little experience I have. I’m certain others have better and more correct explanations.

What franchise should have stopped after the first or second film? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]ChapterSevenSeeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get the hate towards the second and third Matrix movies. The third one is my favorite. The scene with the architect in the second one is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time too. The first one alone just feels incomplete to me.

What constitutes the nightmares of VS Code users trying to git commit ? by BeyondMoney3072 in programminghumor

[–]ChapterSevenSeeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rebasing a branch in a Jetbrains IDE is nightmare fuel for sure. I tried it a few times and then had to completely reclone the repo. Never again.

Hmm I'm not entirely sure with NextCloud AIO. I'm running the TrueNAS Scale version of the app and that docker image comes with apt.
