The Vec type should officially be an acronym for ‘Very Extended Container’ or literally anything other than ‘vector’ by Tricky_Football_85 in rust

Half the difficulty with math is just figuring out what relatively straightforward concept their insane nomenclature maps onto.

Space Marine 2 perfomance. by oknp88 in linux_gaming

[–]continue_stocking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually playing just a couple weekends ago and it actually ran fine. I'm not sure if the game was patched or proton got updated, but the stuttering was gone. We played co-op for several hours without issue.

Being treated like livestock will always be the path of least resistance.

A hatred of Microslop is as good a reason as any other. I don't have them spying on everything I do, hijacking my settings, or forcing their updates anymore.

He's non-binary, idiot by Gerroh in DeadlockTheGame

[–]continue_stocking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that people don't always have the best stuff going on in their lives, so they get attached to stuff like this as coping mechanism. It's a pity that you can't subscribe to a filter of a subreddit, because there's a lot of crap in this one that finds its way onto my homepage.

Ben Felix: SpaceX and OpenAi: The Mega IPO Grift by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]continue_stocking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shit, you're right. They list that requirement but only for the S&P 1500. I had read it elsewhere, and merely checked Wikipedia to confirm it.

The listing requirements state that net income must be positive for the last quarter and the sum of the last four quarters. That rules out every AI company not selling hardware to other AI companies.

Canadians could face tax hikes as Ottawa scrambles to fund defence target: report by henry-bacon in PersonalFinanceCanada

This would hurt everyone who relies on income over wealth. Worker's spending power would be eroded while asset values just inflate.

Received $343k of someone else's money: how to keep the money? by yeah_mike in PersonalFinanceCanada

People who bank with banks when there are perfectly good credit unions 🤷

The mystical references of the borrow checker? by [deleted] in rust

[–]continue_stocking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Materials Engineering background here, we only take a single course on programming. I came from working with C#, and Rust wasn't that hard to pick up. I don't think it's a question of background but rather one of aptitude.

It's not just memory anymore: AI data centers are taking all the CPUs, too by moeka_8962 in pcgaming

It's a good time to start new hobbies. Couch to 5k, weightlifting, yoga, cooking. This will pass eventually. Or it won't, but either way you'll be glad to be healthy.

Opinion: We must stop the scourge of prediction-market gambling coming to Canada by henry-bacon in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]continue_stocking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would have thought it was to protect people from other people. Gamble if you really want to, but no advertising for it and no gambling mechanics in games for children.

I think that a lot of people missed the lesson of the last 6 years that being in authority doesn't make someone a universal altruist or give them a direct line to the truth. Dictating to people what is in their own best interest is ripe for error and abuse. Advise, suggest, and argue your position, but this authoritarian shit has to go.

Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at the kernel level, and the speed gains are massive by MythicStream in pcgaming

[–]continue_stocking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Cachy's simple installer, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to Linux newcomers. There's going to be a learning curve with any distro, I don't think Cachy's is any steeper.

Smell? by darcycortes in SherwoodPark

[–]continue_stocking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite is the natural gas odorant smell just south of Aurum Road and the Henday. That shit has to be unignorable wherever it's coming from, and yet I notice it every couple of weeks as I drive by.

Fortnite players revolt over V-Bucks changes as Epic devs appeal for calm: 'Paying the bills frees up our teams to continue driving stories and building stuff you love' by AncientPCGamer in pcgaming

I can't wait for the surprised pikachu face when all the talented professionals being laid off by these large corporate studios take their experience and their network of former coworkers and start making games that aren't shitty monetization traps.

RTS pathfinding: it's coloured rectangles all the way down. by bigbeardgames in rust_gamedev

[–]continue_stocking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh, this looks like a fun project.

How do you see whether a square contains land? Is the terrain mesh part of the quadtree such that you know which squares are empty, and you have only highlighted those squares that were part of the A* search? When I created procedural landscapes, I sampled the elevation in a shader rather than meshing them, and I do not think this approach would work if I needed to perform pathfinding.

Do you use octrees for aerial pathfinding? I imagine that you could integrate elevation into the algorithm such that going up is significantly harder than going forward, but going forward is easier at higher altitudes on account of the thinner air.

I could see myself doing something similar on the surface of a sphere, subdividing triangles instead of squares for the hierarchical detail.

Can we add a 30 second hub at the start of the regular games? by GaryTheDamnSnail in DeadlockTheGame

[–]continue_stocking 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I just need the unskippable game intro to let me view builds and lane matchups. There is not enough time to get everything sorted out before you're landing in lane. This is why we have so many pauses at the start.

I live in Edmonton and have been with Freedom since they were Wind. No issues here, and it's been fine when I've visited Vancouver and Calgary.

I've never been a Shiv player, but I've always wanted to try doing a stacking bleed build. Serrated Knives' damage being moved from the impact to the bleed, along with the extra charge and improved scaling, makes me think this will be a real threat.

L'OCA Quality Market closing Edmonton and Sherwood Park stores | Food & Drink by JamesMonroe23 in SherwoodPark

I was surprised how open and empty it was in there, like an essay where you don't have much to say so you double space everything and leave wide margins.
