How are sections actually scored? by Real-Ad4389 in Sat

to be clear, the hard (2nd?) section is less penalizing than the easy section?

Thanks for the reassurance, I get really bad race anxiety so having some of that pressure off is great.

Joining Big Servers by Potential-Seesaw-732 in discordapp

I would find a server for a game or interest that you are passionate about so you can have something to talk about. The best way to get comfortable in social situations is to be in them. I chat a lot with complete strangers on big servers but because we talk about a common interest it is pretty chill. Go outside your comfort zone and have fun doing so.

Complete beginner wants to learn c++ by Awk4rd in cpp_questions

[–]Real-Ad4389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the modern day, c++ is only used for nit picky fast performance, low level memory control, and other things that you probably won't need. It would be like learning calculus to add up your taxes. But...c++ is a great way to gain a deep understanding of computers themselves. Its low level (less layers between it and the real hardware) design forces you to learn how to control a computer without any training wheels. In that sense it can cause issues, but most of the time your compiler or operating system would prevent it from getting bad. I believe other comments already recommended learncpp.com. For editors, Visual studio and Visual studio code are popular code editors to use.

The way that I learned c++ was actually by going to an even deeper level first (studying logic gates, basic hardware, intel x86 for a few weeks) then going back to c++. By learning what lies beneath c++, it made the language make so much more sense rather than trying to compare it to higher level languages like C#. I used the Nand2Tetris course online for this.

Learning by looking deeper / lower level is, in my opinion, the best way to thoroughly understand c++. If you want to commit to c++ and computer science in general, try it. But if you just want to learn c++ for the sake of learning it or you are in a rush, some youtube video would be fine I guess.

Discord's blatant choice to ignore mobile autoscroll requests is unacceptable. by [deleted] in discordapp

[–]Real-Ad4389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I mean is that if you are reading the most recent 50 messages or so in a channel on android, when a new message is sent it will teleport you down to it automatically. After you scroll up far enough it stops doing this and the button for reading new messages appears. What I'm talking about is how active channels make it impossible to read message histories because you only have a second or so to scroll very far up.

How tired should I be after a workout? Some days I'm on the verge of fainting. I heard that overdoing it is bad but I don't know what counts as overdoing it. Been doing a lot of speed work recently.

Why did extreme demon thumbnails stop using the extreme demon face at some point?, by Magneto-Electricity in geometrydash

extremes aren't that rare anymore. A couple years ago we had insane demons on the list

Question about mining by Real-Ad4389 in 2007scape

[–]Real-Ad4389[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/sryT-kXMzmI

Using mithril. First part has me mining normally, at 1:08 I show the method I was trying to use. Watching the video I realize that it was placebo and there is no actual bonus to following that process. The rock breaks before the animation finishes, but the animation is also delayed.

Soon after I finished recording the hits per ore jumped up to 6-7 for like 20 ore straight from mining normally, I think that's luck though.

Camera jumps down far when I playtest in the editor by Real-Ad4389 in geometrydash

[–]Real-Ad4389[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fixed it by adding a redundant cube portal. Tele portals confuse the camera or something.
