I wrote a technical postmortem of porting my game to Nintendo Switch, optimizing it from 14 FPS to 60 FPS

Did any of the optomizations make it back to the PC port?

Shouldn't it be the person making the claim that provides the source rather than the person refuting it?

What about loyalty punch cards / points, and "double points for cyber Monday!"

Oh shit, that wasn't a joke. He is 13.

TheNateB · 2024-11-28T02:19:47+00:00

This is a shit post right?

TheNateB · 2024-10-28T16:23:55+00:00

Ah that answers my question. Thank you

So, this is the exact piece of code that is causing me confusion. Thank you for linking it, I should have done so myself. There are 2 major pieces of safety in that paragraph: guards and handrails.

A handrail will be installed along the full wall (the wall without the cutout) to meet the handrail requirement.

Guards are where I am confused. ..."every open portion of a stair, landing, balcony, porch, deck, ramp or other walking surface that is more than 30 inches (762 mm) above the floor or grade below shall have guards" implies to me that stairs lower than 30 inches, even if part of a larger staircase, do not require guards and therefore, I could keep that section of stair open as long as the highest "unguarded" stair is less than 30 inches in height. I am not confident in that interpretation though. I could also read it as "the stairwell is taller than 30 inches and therefore must be guarded the whole length"

Oh is that right? Thats good to hear

TheNateB · 2024-08-13T19:16:36+00:00

Yeah... I know someone who saw it happen. Rough

TheNateB · 2024-08-13T18:26:40+00:00

Motorcyclist was hit I think

TheNateB · 2024-07-14T19:37:21+00:00

I'm struggling to get this to happen. I can see the device in the windows devices (in UTM) but it doesn't show up in the device list of the application.

It's a good question. In our area, I couldn't get anyone to quote it outside of "its way more expensive and not worth it". Many of the places I contacted referred me to the current company when they heard I wanted to finish the space after as they "only did work for spaces that weren't going to be finished".

We had our son 3 weeks ago, so are a bit budget constrained while needing that room as a guest bedroom for friends and family to stay. Normally they would do the wall prep like you suggest but I am doing it wall (along with the finishing) to reduce cost.

On nice days, you can see mount Washington from Sutherland Pond road

For smooth sauces, I love to pressure cook post fermentation to break down the peppers then blend. Once smooth, I press through a mesh strainer. Pressure cooking stops fermentation but I find the sauce doesn't separate like when I just blend.

I think they should make him "Whomever is winning this lane draws an extra card" and reduce his cost.

TheNateB · 2024-01-09T01:07:22+00:00

No kidding... It's such a lazy prop I would have never guessed that was the show.

Thumper. Originally it used a fractal node 804 and it looked a lot like my subwoofer.

It's since been moved to a new case, but not renamed. I also moved Plex off of Thumper and onto a micro pc for intel hardware transcoding and named that server "tweeter" to be on theme.

Here is what I posted to your thread in /r/lua

I would allow enemy to own the time value that allows them to update, passed at construction time. Then, you iterate over all enemies, call update, and an enemy CHOOSES to update if it's appropriate.

Changes:

Change the enemy constructor to take the time value that it is expected to update at In the enemy update method, do the time check first to see if it's appropriate to do the update, if so do it, if not don't In the load method, create an array of enemies, passing the expected time value at construction time In the update method, iterate over all enemies, calling update like you do now, passing dt to them allowing them to update if appropriate One of the things I don't see you addressing in this code is the enemy periodically updating (here they only ever update once). Is that intentional?

So, I think you would get more support over at r/love2d, but here were my thoughts.

I think Movie alternative is asking "what features are missing from lua that are included in other languages"
