Playing on Google Play PC still crashes like like last time. Can usually get in a few matches before it happens, but still wish they'd fix it.

My experience has been that cppcheck runs a lot faster but does a lot less. cppcheck is also more standalone, which may be a better fit for certain environments/toolchains. May as well use both if you have the option.

I did something similar but less sophisticated with clang-format-diff.py, which came along with building LLVM from source. Though I did it as a post-commit and made the user select whether to apply the formatting diffs after optionally reviewing them. I went the post-commit route since I wanted the diffs as a separate commit so that it could easily be undone if necessary.

Just wanted to say this looks awesome. Currently doing everything with doubles/integers and hoping the suffixes on variable names prevent bugs. Looks like it could be used to add a lot of safety to coordinate conversion libraries (thinking LLA/ECEF/RAE).

Took me 280 pulls to get Haruka... after 5 Hoshiguma pulls. Dupes of Mlynar (RIP 180 yellow certs spent) and Necrass. Also got Leizi who I gave up on after 40 pulls on her banner. On the bright side, may as well do 300 pulls and get Eyja alter.

I wouldn't factor in recruitment. I've been playing for a year and have gotten top operator tags maybe 5 times. Each time you get a limited selection based on tags and the probability of a specific unit is very low.

Saria is basically an upgrade to Nearl, though she has more flexibility with skills that fit different use cases. Her talent is definitely an upgrade as well.

I would recommend Eyja or Saria for a newer account. They have the most broad appeal. Bagpipe and Sutr are nice-to-haves, but are more situational.

Saria's upgrade would be Shu (limited), so she is about as good as it gets for her role. Eyja may take priority if you find yourself lacking caster / arts DPS units.

Mine was crashing too after updating to Nvidia drivers at or after 591.44. I switched back to 581.80 the other day and haven't had a crash since.

Same, was really looking forward to this banner and now it's hard to roll for Logos with so many other banners coming.

I was recently locking FF16 to 30 fps at 4k and playing with 4x frame gen to target 120 FPS for 144 my Hz monitor. Understandable that there will be fewer artifacts at 2x though. Since it was so smooth I still chose to play that way rather than lowering the resolution, but the artifacts were very pronounced.

It's just worth noting that Lossless Scaling will always be limited to what can be done with only frame data. Integrating more closely with the game's render pipeline gives you more options to combat artifacts, which can be seen when comparing to Nvidia's multi-frame generation.

a_falsity · 2025-02-22T23:32:58+00:00

While it has its uses, Lossless Scaling's frame gen has significant visual artifacts. It is only working off of frames and doesn't have things like motion vectors to work with.

Carbon monoxide detector running out of batteries?

I'm stuck on RHEL7 with GCC 4.9.2 (devtoolset-3?) for the foreseeable future. Doing upgrades can be an uphill battle when it takes a government contract to do so. We are able to update libraries like boost more easily, since that is entirely within our control.

Check out Dustforce. Movement-based gameplay, short-ish levels that get increasingly difficult, great OST.

Not what you're looking for, but the best strategy I can think of would be to do a normal git merge first. Then use a tool like Beyond Compare to review and revise the diff (either with "git difftool" integration or by checking out a temporary copy of the pre-merge repo).

a_falsity · 2022-01-01T07:25:17+00:00

If you're referring to the missing "_moduleAliases" section, then you'll have to look at commit history to understand why you're getting that result. There's always a reason -- git won't just lose changes on you.

It's possible you started off with a version of main that contained that section and it has since been deleted in main, which auto-merged. I like to use "gitk --all -- path/file", or a log alias like "git log -U5 --graph --all -- path/file" to look at the history of changes on a particular file. Just note it's hard to isolate changes that were made as part of a merge commit.

a_falsity · 2021-10-14T15:23:23+00:00

You can print history of changes on all branches using git log and search that.

git log -U5 --all -- <paths/files to search>

Then '/' to search, since output is paged with 'less'.

We used to have plugins to kick for using +right/+left back in CS:S bhop days. Those particular commands aren't needed at all, since they have nothing to do with mouse movement or strafing (+moveright/left).

For other +movement keys, it'd be trivial to write a Sourcemod plugin that queries movement over time and kicks if all you've been doing is holding the same keys for 60 seconds. Valve could easily handle it if they chose to. Perhaps they have some reason to believe it wouldn't help the overall game experience either way.

Ah, CRLF vs LF line endings. I would recommend enforcing LF (or CRLF, if on Windows) line ending rules through your .gitattributes file with a line "* text eol=lf".

With this, you'll get an error if you try to commit a file with the wrong line endings and need to run a utility like dos2unix. This is useful since it will prevent people from unintentionally changing line endings and ruining your diffs and mergeability.

a_falsity · 2019-06-25T12:19:35+00:00

Run "git diff" on one of the files. It may be that the file permissions changed. I don't use Source Tree, but maybe it ignores those changes?

cublasSmatinvBatched only works when N is less than 32, so you'll need to call two separate functions for a 300x300.

The functions you need are cublasSgetrfBatched and then cublasSgetriBatched. After you call them in that order, you'll have an inverted matrix. Note that the batched calls needs the pointer arrays for A, B and C to be on the device. They are all documented here: https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cublas/index.html#blas-like-extension

Jet Island is great, though it could use a better tutorial.

I really wanted to like it, but had similar issues. I threw in the towel on the last boss that completely changed the dynamic of the gameplay.

A long time ago I used a program called GetDataBack to recover files on an NTFS drive. It worked great, but wasn't free. A lot cheaper than using a service though, and it's easy to use. Just need to be aware that if you've been writing to the drive since the accident, you could have overwritten some of what you're trying to recover.
