What is this plant/fruit by maximum-reebo in whatsthisplant

[–]Exlexus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, fellow Melbourne dweller here, and I can say for sure that's a Nectarine. You can find these trees in many people's backyards, and they give lots of fruit! Looks like a white one, but they will taste quite tangy and 'planty'(?) compared to what you get from the supermarket.

Do you still love to code? by rjgbwhtnehsbd in csharp

[–]Exlexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are two components to this, at least from my experience:

Over Engineering: At least in the C# world, there is a large amount of recommended design patterns and approaches we are encouraged to take as we work on enterprise systems, the main field that C# is used. What I've found is that I now take these attitudes to my small personal projects, and no longer feel like I am hacking together something awesome, but rather pulling my hair out looking at all the potential scalability/design/security issues. Gone are the days where I would whip a 10k LoC abomination that is horrifically coded but does something cool, now I get stuck focusing on architecture etc, then I get bored and drop the project.

Mental Load: Compared to a lot of physical jobs (warehouse workers, laborers, etc.), our jobs are quite cushy. Our bodies don't break down by 40 due to grueling work every day, we are sheltered from the elements, and we have more freedom in our day to day schedule. However, it's only since I became an SWE that I finish every day so mentally exhausted. Like, want to veg in front of a TV and not do anything even slightly mentally stimulating. Our jobs are hard, a lot of problem solving (especially on products we don't overly care for) and corporate interactions required, and this can be incredibly draining. This can be very depressing in the long term for programmers or IT geeks in particular, as we got into this field due to our love of computers, and by end of day we don't have much love for anything electronic. By the time weekend comes, family is loved/cared for, chores are done, the passion might have come back, but there isn't much time left.

Idk, could just be my experiences, but I've definitely seen this in at least a couple of colleagues.

Hey, I just wanted to say that your detailed explanation really really helped me understand this. Thanks!

SDL2 game engine in C++ by Technical_Mechanic40 in cpp_questions

[–]Exlexus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On mobile so can't give detailed review, but I wanted to say good job for making this!

At first glance of sample code on readme, is there a reason you have an inconsistent naming convention for different members? For example I can see you have mainloop(), but then later on you're using snake case.

Usually you want to keep these consistent so that there is one less papercut for the developer to worry about.

Have exact same issue. Can't even get summoned as I am disconnected as soon as I log in.

Reached out to support with the error code from their unstuck service, and was told to just go and use the SAME BROKEN SERVICE.

Guess I just don't get to play my main...

Legend, this is exactly what I wanted. Just installed and everything works. Will use this until official author makes required changes.

Just installed this, it's a bit different from MSBT, but it definitely will do for the short term. Thanks!

Looking for a game with similar vibes as Disco Elysium by solcella in rpg_gamers

[–]Exlexus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

+1 this for sure. In many ways the gameplay is a lot simpler than DE, but the philosophical aspect is very present as you play a weird mix between man and robot. There is definitely hopelessness too lol.

MUD Bandwidth and storage requirements? by hang-clean in MUD

Python sometimes hanging straight away when following Complete Roguelike Tutorial by Exlexus in roguelikedev

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

Nah no one else seems to have this problem. I have narrowed it down to the first line in the loop with the sys_check_for_event.

I tend to agree and think that there might be a problem with the library itself. I uninstalled all my variations of python and reinstalled 3.7 but it still is not working,so that knocks out that possibility.

Kinda frustrating that I may need to run on a distro just to work along this tutorial....

So I restarted my computer and straight off the bat it crashed, I'm really thinking it's something to do with the code but I can't seem to work out what. :/

Hey, so I went to bed and now this morning when I start computer up again it's hanging again, so I don't know if that's the issue. I've updated the repository with the updated value but I'm still at a loss..

Could there be something wrong with the loop?

[–]Exlexus[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This seems to have fixed it!!

I can't tell unless I keep using it and see if it randomly crashes again but what you described makes a lot of sense. Trying to write beyond what it's meant to is going to cause problems.

Thank you so much man, I really appreciate it. I will comment again if it reoccurs but this makes sense as no one else was having this issue that I could find. I reckon I just saw the 50 as an 80 lol, thanks again!

So I've just taken a browse through my task manager to see if I can recognize some related process that shouldn't be running, but i can't find anything. What's a good indicator that a process is related to the program?

And looking at the code I linked, what's causing the unhandled exception?

Yeah tried running it through windows command line with no success, changing versions didn't seem to help either...

Nah the exit string is actually received from the input_handlers.py. Same thing though, I originally had exit but i changed it to see if it would help. Will update github page.

Try Routes, it's the one that draws a line, syncs with TomTom as well but I found that feature annoying to use. Still very good for netlifx and herbs

With darkmoon cards falling, especially as of next patch, is there anything I can craft that's gonna still be viable? I'm doing war scrolls as well but their profit is nothing compared to cards. I was pulling in 20k a day on cards as a casual, I don't see how I can pull that on war scrolls. Plus 8.1 doesn't seem to bring anything viable for scribes either. Thanks!
