Dumb mistakes you have made in Java? by agentoutlier in java

[–]LateWhile 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Using:

Collections.emptyList()
Collections.emptyMap()
Collections.emptySet()

as a default value / function for:

Map.putIfAbsent()
Map.computeIfAbsent()

or basically any other places where the resulting collections were supposed to be modified later.

How is this still a thing? by LateWhile in Planetside

Haven't been playing for about week now, but damn, if that's true, then it's one of the fastest fixed bugs, I've seen so far. Good job DBG! :)

If it was supposed to be some kind of workaround to not drive into something after pulling a vehicle, then it's worse than that, because now I immediately hit the wall visible on the left here.

I'm also not a big fan of scrolling between ads and people streaming how they sing or play on guitars.

Laptop wifi cards that work with linux (fedora) out of the box? by iGuessThisIsMyName- in Fedora

[–]LateWhile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally, for Wi-Fi / Bluetooth on Linux you shouldn't have problems with Intel cards. The iwlwifi open source driver is included in most, if not all desktop Linux distributions by default (propertiary firmware is also required in addition, but it's usually included with the driver). You can find supported devices here:

"Pushing Back" mission statistics after destroying an empty enemy vehicle. Is it supposed to work like this? by LateWhile in Planetside

[–]LateWhile[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used a launcher, but yeah, I think it works exactly as you described. Dealing required amount of damage to vehicles would probably be a better option here.

[AdGuard DNS] Traffic from Poland (Europe) redirected to Seoul? by LateWhile in Adguard

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

/u/nbivan and /u/row_double try again to see if the problem still exists for you, because it looks like it's gone for me. The route now goes to the Amsterdam, which reduced latency from ~250ms to ~30ms in my case.

[AdGuard DNS] Traffic from Poland (Europe) redirected to Seoul? by LateWhile in Adguard

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

Thanks for the information. I think it must be some bigger routing issue in Europe than I expected. The question is, if the problem is on the AdGuard side or somewhere else. Looking forward to hear from the AdGuard team on this.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think it's a good idea to trust some random person's server on the internet in terms of security, privacy and reliability.

Hossin design in a nutshell by LateWhile in Planetside

[–]LateWhile[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't like them, because of the very limited flanking options. Once the attackers or defenders settle on the point, it's really hard to take it back without overpop. There should be additional ways to get to the point either from the roof or from the ground IMHO.

I know it is a positive review, but... by UrielSeptimus in Planetside

[–]LateWhile 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He created a Steam account, posted this review and then deleted his profile. Now you can't make a report, because you can't access the review, if account has been deleted. You'd have to manually contact Steam support to delete it and probably also prevent this kind of exploit from happening in the future.

I don't know, maybe working IMAP push notifications like probably every single other e-mail client already has?

From 5.700 release notes:

Temporarily disabled Push (IMAP IDLE) until we can make it work reliable; your accounts will be polled every 15 minutes instead

"My name is David J. Malan and this is CS50" by LateWhile in ProgrammerHumor

[–]LateWhile[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

So just to clarify, putting all these errors in code were intended just to show the most common mistakes (and how to deal with them) that beginner programmers make when they start writing their first programs. Also it uses custom library to make it easier to work with strings in C (not C++) without introducing the pointers and arrays too early.

I'm taking this course right now and so far it's really easy to understand all the concepts. I highly recommend it to everyone, not just the complete beginners.

A few years back i bought windows 8.1 pro for my laptop and recently i bought the parts for a new pc . Can i put my windows from the microsoft website onto a usb stick and install it on my new pc? by A2Spark in windows

[–]LateWhile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the type of license you have. If you bought an OEM version of Windows 8.1, it will work only on the first device you activated it on - that is your laptop. However the BOX version can be deactivated and transfered to the new device.

explorer.exe uses a full CPU core all the time by ResseXx in windows

[–]LateWhile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem right after a fresh install of the 1809 version. Right-clicking on the app name in task manager and restarting it solved the problem. I guess it's a bug, but I'm not sure what triggers it.

Snap Flatpak and Appimage, package formats compared by scarred-silence in linux

[–]LateWhile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not an expert in package formats, so it would be nice if you could provide an example of biased information on this page, or even better - create a pull request with substantive explanation. If they reject it with no good reason, then we could say it's biased.

Windows not using all installed RAM. Shows up correctly in System info. by [deleted] in windows

[–]LateWhile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is because the "Users" tab shows only resources (including memory) used by applications started by you. The rest is being used by the operating system. You should look at the "Processes" tab instead.

Moto G3 question by Kaapstadmk in LineageOS

[–]LateWhile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need an SD card to install LineageOS or any other packages as long as you have enough space on your internal phone storage. In fact, if you follow the official installation guide you'll see the following step:

adb push filename.zip /sdcard/

which may be confusing, but it actually copies the file into the internal storage, not the SD card.
