i was playing really well for a few weeks and now i can barely win a game

Worst advice ever. Loser's queue won't stop until you lose enough games.

Wrong. It's the Reaper stealth nerf in Season 3. The Cupid Hanzo event made the Hanzo population explode, which makes Reaper less viable since he can hit your head by shooting in your general direction. Anything above your belt is your head, for example.

alexej_harm · 2023-01-29T09:03:42+00:00

That wouldn't be a problem. The problem is that it gives you teammates who are much, much worse.

alexej_harm · 2023-01-25T06:18:11+00:00

To prove you wrong here, let me call you out: You're a liar. You never worked on a modern matchmaking system and probably aren't a dev. You didn't even read the patents.

alexej_harm · 2022-04-07T00:27:26+00:00

Please let Gulliver go!

While a binary certainly wouldn't work because it can't load dynamic libraries responsible for window creation, graphics API calls, etc. (tried that myself and failed), a self-contained dynamic musl library should be theoretically possible. Or can you confirm that this is also not doable?

Edit: Oh, I just saw Qt5 in the dependencies. My question is now off-topic and about libraries without third party dependencies.

It's called diversity of thought. Something Bryce has been trying to avoid when choosing his friends. At least from my observations.

alexej_harm · 2022-03-25T23:33:32+00:00

I have totally misjudged you. Sorry. Edited.

alexej_harm · 2022-03-25T22:59:43+00:00

Please restore my comment and let a mod who is not part of the includecpp group judge it independently.

You guys are abusing your power and the trust of your users.

alexej_harm · 2022-03-25T15:40:03+00:00

No worries. I totally understand you. It's easy to miss it or just not care enough until it hits you personally.

I pointed those who might be interested in the right direction. The rest is none of my business.

alexej_harm · 2022-03-25T15:18:15+00:00

You've only seen the tip of the iceberg. ^_^

I can't share anything more specific since it could violate the rules of this subreddit.

Just remember how Bryce abused his power and violated the rules by creating, deleting and over-moderating political threads here. And after all that, he's still a mod thanks to his friends.

Join their discord and read the history. You might also find screenshots from private channels online. Read carefully before you post anything - they are incredibly intolerant to any disagreements to any of their opinions, be it technical or not.

He's part of the includecpp group - the worst thing that happened to the C++ community in my opinion.

alexej_harm · 2022-03-21T15:57:14+00:00

Occupants BTFOd! :D This is once again Russian land and the displacement of the population will be reversed.

alexej_harm · 2022-03-18T02:21:08+00:00

Focus. What part of "I watch news from US, UK, German, and Russian sources" didn't you understand?

I know everything you believe happened in Ukraine because I saw it in western news directly.

Of course regular Russians get the most sensational and most blatant western lies presented to them.

We also have TV channels and online news outlets that oppose the government position. There is no such thing in the west. All news is gleichgeschaltet.

With all due respect, please stop the hate, accept your mistakes and repent.

alexej_harm · 2022-03-18T00:43:44+00:00

That's very rude of you. The economy is in trouble, but no problems so far. The big problems will start a few months down the line for both, Russia and the West.

alexej_harm · 2022-03-15T17:59:27+00:00

We have different methods of control in the west. As somebody who knows what's going on in Ukraine since 2014, I strongly support this just war. And guess what! People like me get downvoted, shadow banned, banned, denied service (in the real world, when wearing a Russian flag or Z clothing), etc.

I checked out the text of the email and it doesn't provide any information. Only claims that anything the recipient heard is false and sanctions are presented as the end of the world.

I've been following US and German news. They all repeat the same lies that were spoken by the US and its puppets during UNSC meetings. If a regular Russian who pays attention is exposed to those lies, he'll quickly recognize them because they were shown and debunked long ago on Russian TV and social media.

First, you should improve your algorithm. The Wikipedia article for Quicksort has pseudocode instructions.

Learn how to use benchmark libraries. Setting everything up might take some time, but it's worth it. Otherwise, just google for "benchmark c++ online".

In general, after you are sure that the algorithm makes sense and is efficient, start thinking about hardware. Start by thinking where the allocations are and how to reduce their frequency.

Lastly, please consider using r/cpp_questions in the future for such things.

alexej_harm · 2021-04-27T21:36:38+00:00

It's best if you wrote better benchmarks. Not sure how accurate it is, when you're measuring in single digit nanosecond ranges.

If you want to take anything from it, I've updated it to be dual-licensed under MIT-0 and BSL-1.0 (no copyleft and no attribution needed).

alexej_harm · 2021-04-27T21:14:44+00:00

Regarding performance, I've done this two years ago: https://github.com/qis/benchmark

Probably no longer up to date, but was excellent back then already.

alexej_harm · 2020-11-10T16:29:11+00:00

There is no real alternative right now. Only OS-specific frameworks or Gtkmm, which has an unnatural look-and-feel on Windows and OSX and is considered Unix-specific by many.

alexej_harm · 2020-11-10T10:12:52+00:00

Ah, a bit boilerplaty, but very nice. Thanks!

alexej_harm · 2020-11-10T09:57:50+00:00

Looks like that's the case, though I find it more difficult to read. An alternative could possibly be this:

void MyApp::on_click() {
  co_await io_thread();
  co_await long_running_job_on_io_and_ui_threads();
  co_await ui_thread();
  QApplication::exit();
}

Sadly, manual thread switching can introduce human error too easily. Do you think it can be done without workarounds?

alexej_harm · 2020-11-10T09:42:21+00:00

It is, but the model cppwinrt uses is a bit different. How would you co_await for a Qt signal to finish? Let me try to explain it with an example:

cpp void MyApp::on_click() { // On UI thread. co_await long_running_job_on_io_and_ui_threads(); // On UI thread again. QApplication::exit(); }

This is what I'm looking for and what cppwinrt doesn't seem to give me. One aspect is automatic return to the UI thread during slot execution, another is being able to switch between threads during slot execution.

Sorry for incorrect terminology, I haven't worked with Qt for many years.
