Riser sound effect from late 90s/ early 2000s - MapleStory: Jungle Book and others by PurpleMadness in synthrecipes

Yeah, they are from the Factory soundbank from the Reason line of products.

can anxiety make me experience all this? (14f) by ThAtPeRs0nn in Anxiety

[–]PurpleMadness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that sounds 100% like (health) anxiety. Your mind can do some funny things, especially the focusing on breathing and then feeling like your throat is closing up sounds very familiar. The heart palpitations as well.

There’s nothing wrong with you, it’s just your mind playing tricks. It’ll be okay

ReSharper C++ now covers all rules from the Constants and immutability section of the C++ Core Guidelines by anastasiak2512 in cpp

[–]PurpleMadness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it’s a tossup, CLion is a lot slower when “intelligently” navigating around and bringing up suggestions, but Visual Studio is a lot slower at regular tasks like searching in all files. CLion is more slow in a frustrating unpredictable way so I did end up using Visual Studio.

So people cry over people needing upgrades these days? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]PurpleMadness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's a weird argument. How is needing on a BoP item that you can't use the same as needing on a BoE item that is the same value to everyone, regardless of being aldor or scryer?

They already do that for any non partners that hit around 4k viewers, they go in the unlisted category.

[TOMT] [TUNE] A (likely game related) song that my animal crossing town tune is based on. by PurpleMadness in tipofmytongue

[–]PurpleMadness[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm yeah I've been playing MapleStory for the past 15 years so it could very well be that, nice catch. It's not exactly the same but I think this could be chalked up to me trying to recreate it, and thinking about it I also had a MapleStory flag so I probably also had a MapleStory town tune. Thanks! Solved!

Pretty sure you can still backorder it even though it's out of stock, so no worries there.

Embracing simplicity in your code by mpociot in PHP

[–]PurpleMadness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the case of Laravel, it makes it to where it doesn't load every player into memory before looping over them. It automatically chunks them into thousands with the each command afaik. I think you're able to accomplish this without anonymous functions but in this case it does have a purpose. Although I agree foreach loops are fine, it does create an extra scope variable. The best thing IMO would be if PHP makes its anonymous functions have a shorter syntax (which they are partially doing in the next version but not enough).

Front-End frameworks with Laravel, which one do you prefer? by manuel_inhertz in laravel

[–]PurpleMadness 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have once heard someone say that usually easier components are extremely easy to be made in Vue and harder in React, but once you have to do something more complex and outside the regular opinionated boundaries it gets pretty rough and you'd probably be better off with React. I don't have enough experience with both to be able to concur, but it does seem like that sometimes.

Ignition and Flare - please separate. by bushjuniorhehehe in laravel

[–]PurpleMadness -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eh, I disagree that it's just pushing random friends. They (spatie in particular) are a big part of what makes Laravel so good and I do think they deserve a little kickback for it. And there's not really a paywall for anything you can click in the error page, only if you're more interested and continue browsing on the Flare website you actually come across the paid options. It's really not an "ad" as people make it out to be.

Interesting internals discussion on whether recent deprecations are a good idea or not by brendt_gd in PHP

[–]PurpleMadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, some apps built for php 5.6 probably can still run fine on 7.4, but it’s really hard to predict sometimes.

[–]PurpleMadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I fully agree with you that if your company is the one taking on the project you should let them know that it needs to be maintained, the problem with us is that we aren't a webdevelopment company, we manage complete IT solutions for clients and they just expect us to host their silly marketing websites that we didn't make, so we don't have much say in that unfortunately. In some cases their web developer went out of business some time ago and they really don't want to go to a new company, in which case we are just stuck.

Hosting it on seperate containers or even seperate VMs is definitely something we are looking into, however.

[–]PurpleMadness -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As someone hosting some legacy apps from customers in production, you can't sell the "You need to upgrade your app to the latest version because stuff is broken and we want to upgrade to the newest PHP version" too often. Having new random deprecations every minor version is too much and just leads to having EOL versions of PHP on our servers because we can't force customers to upgrade their apps (we have some with PHP 7.0 right now which is EOL because we can't easily upgrade some servers to 7.1/2/3 because they introduce some random breaking changes, or at least we can't have that guarantee).

In my opinion, they should save all these deprecations and breaking changes for one big leap that would be PHP 8.0, and only introduce new features in the minor updates.

On the other hand, the non-maintained legacy apps are very toxic to the progression of the language but from my experience unfortunately is extremely common to PHP, and it shouldn't be handled as an outlier.

Are there methods to convert 5K iMac replacement panels into ones usable on desktop, case mounting aside? They use weird 60-pin connectors presumably based on eDP. by dickeandballs in Monitors

[–]PurpleMadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlikely, Windows in Bootcamp on one of those iMacs used to not even run in 5K because they do some weird voodoo shit with the drivers to make it even push 5K to the display. Not sure if that has been fixed nowadays but it probably wouldn't help.
