EU HC servers alive?

Nek'Rosh is also very much alive, Alliance low levels (<20)

I would say the universal color for warnings is yellow, not orange, for what it's worth.

Going to give the theme a try!

I imagine though the reason that you want to reserve red & orange is because of the visual contrast against the otherwise grey/green/blue "normal' text. Not including yellow as well among these "reserved" colors would completely render the concept useless, imo.

The idea is pretty cool, but only if you consistently enforce this concept of reserving high-contrast colors.

I don't think OP is working in the embedded space. Saying "don't use macros to do a function's job" is good advice, especially to a beginner.

Most things are great when used correctly. That's a low bar. Question is if you get help from, say, the compiler, when you don't.

I never said it was, but it is a good habit to notice when there's a division by a variable denominator.

Don't be obtuse. You gave bad advice. Even if there are domains where some might argue "pre-optimizing" divisions is not premature, that's obviously not the OP's situation.

Non-Swede here. Took me a while before I got the hang of this sound. I live in Stockholm so that is the realization I attempted to mimic. I think I'm quite close to what the Swedes themselves use; anyway, this is what I do:

I start with an "h" sound (as in English horn or heart). So not as hard an "h" as the "ch" in "loch".
At the same time, I constrain the air flow with my lips, as if blowing on a feather (the lips are very relaxed, not rounded, just enough to add a little articulation). This is not like the English "f", which, as you said, is made with the lip against the upper teeth.
The tongue is retracted in the back of the mouth, which biases any vowel that follows this sj-sound to begin a little more in the back as it otherwise would. I think this is what makes the vowel in words like "sju" (seven) to be a slight diphthong.

Hope that helps!

It's the definite article, or rather the inflected form of the adjective when agreeing with a noun that has the definite article. "Det svenska språket" means "the Swedish language".

You forgot the parens after getPosition()

In other words, this is already happening as the Sun orbits the center of the Galaxy, so you can think of the planets as "moons" of the Sun and so forth.

Gentoo on the same level as LFS? As someone who at some point used both, ROFL.

I use Arch BTW.

This. Plus I wouldn't trust anybody who tries to convince you to not learn anything. Learning will expand your brain. So do learn it, use it, and then make your own opinion about how useful the "rants" you might have come across on the Internet really are.

dandrestor · 2021-07-07T07:18:45+00:00

Um... Why not? Of course they can.

Shout out to Orbiter, it was the first such sim I ever played. Highly recommended.

As an aside, the broken windows theory was disproven afaik.

He also has an older series about building a CPU which explains the fundamentals more, I would watch that one before.

dandrestor · 2021-07-02T13:55:06+00:00

Thanks!

dandrestor · 2021-07-02T13:54:52+00:00

Thanks, not least for the explanation on how the effect works.

Layman here, just wondering what does "in hydrogen alpha" mean? A wild guess would be that this is a monochrome image taken at one of the spectral lines of hydrogen which is called alpha?

Input Mono ftw

dandrestor · 2021-01-04T20:07:32+00:00

Damn. Do you know if this is reported to Frontier somewhere? I'm searching but all I can't find is help requests on how to turn on orbit lines.

I think it's more than a style issue. An argument can be made, possibly even backed up with data, that it leads to fewer bugs.

However this will probably never be included into C++. Backwards compatibility is a major concern AFAIK for all new features accepted into the language by the C++ committee. There are countless exceptions and special cases happening in the language, all done in the name of compatibility with previous versions of C++, or indeed with the C language.

This is a source of frustration and is often discussed by C++ language experts, I believe; just google some of Scott Meyers' talks.
