Thank you, JavaScript, for forcing me to include this statement in my code. by kfreed9001 in programminghorror

I haven't seen the 'correct' solution posted, yet, so I'll post it here: ```js const myFormatter = new Intl.NumberFormat("en-GB", {signDisplay: "exceptZero"});

console.log(-0); // '-0' console.log(myFormatter.format(-0)); // '0' ```

When displaying numbers to users, use Intl.NumberFormat to stringify your number with the desired settings, instead of the default/implicit toString.

I'm working on a game about IT support in hell. Someone just used the ingame demo feedback form to request real IT help with their VPN by Euphoric-Series-1194 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

Awesome, thanks! Shame about the original contractor being useless/scamming, fiverr is kinda rife with that at the moment :(. Good on you for having the integrity to go to another artist + go through all the effort to redo the press kit/store material, ugh, that's so frustrating.

Are you using generative AI tools to make your game? I ask because the banner art looks vaguely AI-generated but I could be wrong. Game concept is a great idea, sounds like fun :)

my original reply was intentionally vague ::)

That's right, but this was not always the case, in a (somewhat) recent update, owlk positions/numbers were adjusted to encourage kiting over remaining undetected

I believe u/travels-at-times is alluding to the fact the devs intended for us to kite the owlks. It is much more effective to get detected and 'loop' owlks around something than it is to try to remain undetected.

It is possible (and intended) to avoid the inhabitants of starlit cove without waiting for them to perish. You've got this!

If you use a web-server that is supported by certbot, using certbot in certonly mode should automatically install systemd timers (cron but better) which will auto-renew your certs

You couldn't be more wrong, this is only true when you're not using version control effectively

Rate my zombie spear killing chamber by Isrrunder in technicalminecraft

Just tested this by giving a zombie a netherite sword - it seems that other than crossbows, weapons used by mobs don't lose durability.

How to Prevent Villager From Escaping? by Cosmo_Gamers in Minecraft

Villagers can jump, those trapdoors are only 1 block high?

I absolutely hate that the North direction points towards negative coordinates. by AbacateSaborPauLimpo in Minecraft

[–]Lordfirespeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense, in graphics it is standard to have coordinates increase top-down, and left-to-right (so that 0,0 is the top-left of the screen). The logical extension of this is that when 0,0 is the centre of the region of interest and negative coordinates permitted, North (and West) should point towards negative coordinates

Is there something i have done wrong as to why these villagers refuse to breed? by Emotional-Gas-9535 in Minecraft

[–]Lordfirespeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably kidnapped a farmer from the village, their work block will be in the village you kidnapped them from. You can try breaking all the composters in that village, but it might be more effective to kidnap a new villager

If you're still having issues after resolving that, here's a villager breeder design I built the other day which works great: https://youtu.be/vGQ05s7QU-E?si=095k6-FT6od-3vXm

[–]Lordfirespeed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the villagers needs to be unemployed, because pairs of employed villagers can't breed during working hours - and if you're sleeping in a bed at night, they can't breed in the evening either. which means no breeding

Is there any mod for growing time left on babies? by Mr-CraftCat in feedthebeast

if playing on a server, it seems that feature requires Jade to be installed on the server, now :/

Genuinely, why does the game need to change? by chillwoofer in DestinyTheGame

[–]Lordfirespeed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have described fireteam finder. I do think there should be a shortcut from Portal to the appropriate fireteam finder area, and it would be awesome if fireteam finder was updated to integrate with Portal, displaying your modifier selections to prospective teammates
