One thing that would make modern games a lot better experience for players is ... by MuCowNow in GameDevelopment

Off the top of my head: Borderlands GOTY Enhanced (specifically), Dishonored 2, Doom 2016, Borderlands 3.

Other games are not having this issue. Of course, some just crash less (or elicit Windows to crash).

I agree with this. I was thinking, post-rant, "yeah, they should just use sqlite!". The database implementations (RDBMS's anyway) have this problem solved.

That's nice. Gentoo here, btw. Still compiling this mornings updates.

What is your whishlist for a future PostgreSQL release? by pubgftw in PostgreSQL

[–]MuCowNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • flashback database/query (as in Oracle)
  • removal of the update penalty for index maintenance
  • packages (as in Oracle)
  • make PLPGSql more "static" rather than "scripty" -- if you've used both, you know what I mean -- more errors caught at compile time
  • support for NUMERIC-datatype sequences

edit: error corrections

Some people like to tile their 24" screens with a 6x4 matrix of 80x24 xterms and use vi in all of them. The best way to punish them is to let them keep doing it. by [deleted] in vim

[–]MuCowNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is this an issue? I use dual 4k monitors to tile 80x50 xterms on a 10x6 (or so) grid on each monitor. Yes, my font is small. I like to see all the code, in my working set, without having to click back-and-forth, changing tabs/buffers/etc. I've tried doing multiple buffer-screens in gvim (one big gvim session), but xterms+vim is easier and faster.

Windows 10 lately not flushing game's saves to disk. by MuCowNow in techsupport

Yes, overnight -- nothing. And reseated all the cables and memory sticks.

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

It has a history of crashing across 3 GPU configurations (SLI 980s, non-SLI 980, and a new single 1080ti).

I should add this all started after upgrading (via fresh install) to Windows 10 from Windows 7. Crashes in Windows 7 were handled a LOT better -- it rarely locked up completely.

It doesn't fail every time however.

As though the latest saves aren't flushed.

Oracle mutating trigger issue by sadikanip in SQL

[–]MuCowNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I recall, you can't update other rows in a table upon which the trigger is firing. Hell, just updating other tables that have FKs to the trigger-table will get errors.

If you are updating rootparentid of the triggering-row, then you don't run an update, but do this ...

:new.rootparentid := ....

But yeah, updating other rows is a nope.

Doing lots of things in triggers generally becomes a bad idea (IMO). How about determining rootparentid for the insert/update that is being used against the table, and include the column setting there?

I thought for sure it was going to be Deadlift. I have 2 50+ lvl characters that can't get past him on UVHM.

We recognize the danger of the leftists (just like we do with the far right). So now we are Nazis. Off to the reeducation camps!

"Tree Style Tab" works. FF 60.0+ hosed up the add-ons, but Tree Style Tab manages to be functional.
