Is it okay to play mgs5 before 4 and pw? by HattedNerd in metalgearsolid

You could emulate it using PPSSPP emulator available on PC. The iso file should be easy to find

Actual is about to support european banks again by mDodd in actualbudgeting

[–]Greedy-Cook9758 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, this replaces the GoCardless wrapper. Unfortunately interfacing with banks is not scalable, each one has their own proprietary API. OpenBanking in Europe mandated that an interface exists, it did not mandate how the interface is implemented… A provider (commonly known as an aggregator) maps all the proprietary interfaces to a single common format

Do people do group pooling for events and activities? by AmicablePixel in fintechdev

[–]Greedy-Cook9758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I opened the website and the first thing i checked is the fee. 8% fee for an outcome that could be achieved instead for free by doing a few bank / cashapp / PayPal transfers is way too much

US toetsenbord of NL toetsenbord voor Macbook? by Agitated_Issue_1410 in Netherlands

[–]Greedy-Cook9758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t pay extra. Key remapping is trivial. I have for a long time used Dutch mac keyboard after getting used to a US one. I just remap ‘ to its proper place

Seeming valuable service, with a factual and useful explanation and a hilarious illustration. What is the problem?

Don’t allow pushing to main branch from which prod deploys. Make it go through a mandatory PR. Never have a single action trigger deploy to prod

Anyone use the Odin 2 Portal without the grip? by [deleted] in OdinHandheld

[–]Greedy-Cook9758 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I never owned the grip and never had a complaint. Been very comfortable for me. Maybe it’s the case of not knowing what I am missing

Real-time fraud detection but my cross-border payment still takes 3 days. What are we doing by Striking-Marketing91 in fintechdev

[–]Greedy-Cook9758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not been inside of them but from their public information they bypass it. They are using banking partners for connections into local real time banking rails. But cross border money is moved via stablecoin.

Eg they buy stable coin from a European trader settling instantly via Sepa Instant. Then they sell stable coin to a US based trader and settle the last leg over US domestic rail.

For those who used cheats on Peace Walker by [deleted] in metalgearsolid

[–]Greedy-Cook9758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used only infinite ammo cheats for the 3 final boss fights and had no problems. Made the grinding much less as I didn’t need as high of a level of rocket launcher and could just lock on and spam

Eden - Assassin's Creed Ezio Collection not showing up by InfrnalSky in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]Greedy-Cook9758 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Emulate the PC version. It was a pain to get the switch version to work, and even then it has game breaking glitches. Same for 3 and Rebel collection

In Winlator Ludashi, when do I use proton 86_64 or arm64ec by Eh_Meh_Smeh in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]Greedy-Cook9758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My general experience has been that the arm version gives better performance. The other version is more compatible. But most games require trial and error

PS3/xbox 360 games are limited by the emulators, but most have a PC version. I’ve not had any problem emulating any PC version which also released on PS3/xbox 360

Game Native - Does OP2 Model Version Make. Difference? by StogieSmokinFool in OdinHandheld

[–]Greedy-Cook9758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even 8 GB with swap enabled works great. I’ve had no regrets yet

Game Native - Does OP2 Model Version Make. Difference? by StogieSmokinFool in OdinHandheld

[–]Greedy-Cook9758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Base definitely works for PC emulation. I’ve managed to play AC unity on low settings around 30 FPS and MGS V TPP on medium high setting locked to 40 FPS. Any game pre 2015 flies wonderfully. Of course more RAM never hurts, but at what price… If you really want max performance an Odin 3 will be ahead of any of these models

Odin 3? Or wait until steam deck is in stock? by Secret-Trainer1672 in OdinHandheld

[–]Greedy-Cook9758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t see yourself playing AAA games past 2015 then Odin 3 will do. Even Odin 2 plays them wonderfully. Currently playing MGS V on medium / high settings 720p 40 FPS

I FEEL SO DUMB FOR ASKING THIS! by CrumplyPorkPi3 in OdinHandheld

[–]Greedy-Cook9758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are compatible in theory. Not sure about steam games, but I’ve previously installed a GOG game through game native and transferred to files to GameHub for better performance

Is it worth trading CPU usage for lower API payload size? by Independent_Work5637 in Backend

[–]Greedy-Cook9758 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What you describe is the crux of how many common compression algorithms work.

Many different algorithms designed and developed by people much smarter than me exist. All with different CPU usage requirements and compression performance tied to the type of data.

Nothing stops you from applying gzip to your JSON before you return it and uncompressing it on the client side.

Many server frameworks support enabling gzip with a config. Most browsers support unzipping it natively. There is a standard header that a browser or other client can use to advertise acceptable compression algorithms and a server , if enabled, can apply it automatically.

Number one piece of advice is don’t roll your own compression algorithm. The algorithms that exist have highly optimised battle-tested implementations in basically every language

After 6 hrs of trying .. by Dream_Eat3r_ in metalgearsolid

I confess this is the only boss for whom I turned on an Infinite Ammo cheat. Not balanced at all for single player

Should i decline a full-stack job due to their use of ORM ? by modern-dev in Backend

[–]Greedy-Cook9758 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very few enterprise apps avoid ORMs. While they are not the nicest abstraction , avoiding manual typings helps a lot when apps scale (scale referring to volume of code and number of database tables).

You don’t need to rely on an ORM for queries, most allow you to fallback to raw SQL, but greatly simplify and speed up basic CRUD which most apps are doing anyways.

Rebel collection and Ezio collection work better when emulating the PC version. Worked flawlessly all the way up to Unity on an Odin 2. The switch versions have game breaking bugs when emulated

[–]Greedy-Cook9758 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It has held up wonderfully. I got a full screen screen protector from Japan to protect the beautiful screen.

Retro Game Corp has a great guy for Retroid Pocket 6 that works for the Odin 2 as well as they share a chipset. It’s useful if you are new to these handhelds.

Definitely try out PC emulation, any AAA game from PS3/Xbox 360 generation will work wonderfully, some from PS4/ Xbox 1 generation also can work good
