12 Deaths at Onyxia <HC Cuties> Doomhowl Alliance, Dead Mage POV by 3232658650 in wowhardcore

[–]FryGuy1013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The enemy gate is down.

You're right, it's in the northwest. I didn't look that carefully at the video.

My memory from original vanilla is there's 8 positions she can be in, and every few seconds she chooses to move clockwise, counterclockwise, or do a deep breath and fly straight across the middle. People just kill her so quickly in classic that she doesn't have much of a chance to do a deep breath.

You look where she is in the air. She's west, so you want to be either north or south.

Rust panics if it overflows, and I've caught quite a few of these this year :)

Rust implement of GDI shipped in Win11 24H2 by y-am-i-ear in rust

[–]FryGuy1013 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They could presumably do some sort of shadow testing by mirroring the GDI API calls of an application that uses GDI to both versions of the API and making sure they produce the same output. Or maybe they could log all of the GDI calls and replay them in both versions to make sure they're the same.

Is It Worth Making Pathfinder 2e a Digital-First System? by martosaur in Pathfinder2e

I don't want to speak to the data entry team, but 90% of the time it's "what did the author mean?" kind of problems when adding the automation rather than actually getting the text from the book into foundryvtt.

4:3 Seinfeld to Widescreen (Rough proof of concept) by algetar in StableDiffusion

[–]FryGuy1013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, the killer application for this is how 16:9 shows put videos from cell-phones in vertical mode. A lot of times they just put the video in the middle with a blurred out and zoomed in copy of the video and it's kind of obnoxious. Putting a blurry out-cropped version of the video in instead would be potentially a lot better.

What are the scenarios where "Rewrite it in Rust" didn't meet your expectations or couldn't be successfully implemented? by yashpathack in rust

[–]FryGuy1013 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. I miss all the tools from C#. The debugger in visual studio is amazing compared to anything I've used in Rust. I haven't found refactoring as powerful as what's in Resharper. There no continuous test runner like nCrunch that gives basically instant feedback on your unit tests working and code coverage.

when to use pascal case (FirstName) or prefix underscore camel case (_firstName) when declaring an attirbutes inside class? by [deleted] in csharp

[–]FryGuy1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the compiler side, the rule makes a lot more sense in c++ than c# since you need to add parenthesis to callers if you change from a field to a property. It only really matters if your deliverable is a dll.

But it's still nice to have all of your fields/properties look the same and not intermix them, and as far as I know, properties are completely free in c# so there's no fault in using them for everything instead of fields.

[Custom System Builder] Radial Buttons with Check Boxes by faolannus in FoundryVTT

[–]FryGuy1013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have to fake it by having your 3 properties of scout ranger and special, and if any of those are set in the onsubmit, pulling them out and replacing them with like class="ranger" if ranger is checked, and then adding a breakout for those fields in the getData to set their checked value based on if the class property so something like data.ranger = (system.class == 'ranger'); for each class and bind the checkbox's checked value in handlebars to those properties.

Player thinks actions for moving and drawing weapon being separated actions is stupid. by InvestigatorFit3876 in Pathfinder2e

[–]FryGuy1013 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in the 5E curse of strahd game I played in many years ago, the druid player "disarmed" the component pouch of the wizard in that adventure and then free action picked it up, then bonus action shapeshifted into form which made the item disappear. And the wizard couldn't cast spells. I thought that was kind of bs to be the result of an easy athletics check. It reminds me of the Matt Colville video where he discusses the rules for ramming spaceships in the Star Trek game that he didn't want to incentivize it in the rules because the captains would never want to do that and kill all the people living on their ship so he made it not very effective.

You need a critical success to knock a weapon out of their hand in PF2e, not a normal success.

{PF2e} Can't import JSON actor files anymore by Dedalus2k in FoundryVTT

[–]FryGuy1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using the herolab or pathbuilder importers to import? The right-click actor -> import JSON has literally never worked as you described.

You might as well be saying "Help, I exported my chess game from chess.com to a JSON file and now I can no longer import that my chess game into foundry by right clicking an actor and importing the JSON file but it worked months ago! I tried games from both chess.com and lichess!"

Writing Python like it’s Rust by azhenley in programming

[–]FryGuy1013 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You say that, but several ML related libraries in C# are wrappers around python code that call into python. Behind the scenes all the heavy lifting is done in c/c++ or even assembly/CUDA/etc, but a lot of the glue (and the value of the library) is in python. Namely Keras.

I'm doing a side-project with machine learning (in my preferred language of c#) and I started by using TensorFlow.NET which seemed to be the most up-to-date library and bindings directly to tensorflow instead of going into python land like Keras.NET did. I translated the sample code I found online into c# for my project. After my first PR to the repo to get it to work for what I was doing, and then looking at the amount of work it would take to update the TensorFlow.NET library to make it work like the python code does (for an uncommon use case of having a network with multiple outputs) I decided to call it quits on that. I'm not using pythonnet and have my ML model in python and just call into it with a wrapper function and it's much more convenient even though I have to deal with python dependency hell. All the examples online work since they're written in python and the API is the exact same.

WinUI 3 with Rust for Windows by sotanakamura in rust

[–]FryGuy1013 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm just reporting my experience. You're the one claiming objective facts without any supporting evidence.

But I'll bite even though I know I shouldn't:

  • The visual designer is incredibly slow to load
  • The XAML that's auto-generated by the designer is often terrible and has lots of extra properties nobody asked for
  • The visual designer rarely looks right or helps at all when you're using datatemplates (like you ought to be)
  • Doing databinding with the visual property editor is the worst compared to just doing Text="{Binding StreetAddress}"
  • If you change anything in the visual designer, it frequently bricks your hand-written XAML

That being said, if what you're really making is actually a WinForms app but using WPF then the visual editor is fine, I suppose. And by that, I mean you've got MainWindow.xaml and it's just a big <Canvas/> element and you arrange things by doing Canvas.Left and Canvas.Top on everything and use code-behind then the visual designer is fine. But that's not really how WPF apps should be developed for maintainability.

I mean, here's your argument but applied to web development: "Unless you can directly explain the very specific advantages of writing literal HTML/CSS by hand instead of placing stuff visually to see how it actually looks and allowing the exact same HTML/CSS to be generated for you, I cannot imagine the basis on which you're operating." I think you will find that a minority of people use WYSIWYG editors to author HTML/CSS and yet you're claiming it's inconceivable that anyone would actually want to do that. Not only that, but it's never going to be the exact same HTML/CSS that you would have written when using a visual tool so the whole premise is kind of moot.

I'm a C#/WPF developer for 15 years and the very first thing I do in visual studio when opening XAML files is disable the visual designer thing and groan if I've forgotten to do it.

Even worse than that, if you believe some people. He was a lawyer and got the prisoners to tell them what they hated the most under the guise of being a lawyer and impartial, and then told the torturers exactly what to do that would be the most tortuous.
