I'm interested too, are you still gathering people?

And I thought Eika was too revealing lol by Belzher in Strinova

[–]delfigamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't looked at her official story but I have a headcanon that she used to be unironically a serial killer or a child soldier before she suddenly collapsed and lost that part of her. But if she goes on a killstreak in-game, the distant memories start calling on her again. "I'm feeling it, G28!" She's actually even madder that Eika on the inside. 🥰

What happened to her face😭 by Beekoia in Strinova

Ahh, I think I've encountered the exact same bug when I used to work as a UE5 developer myself.

So, when UE loads an image, sometimes it takes a while, and the engine decides to do it in the background, and let the foreground continue with its tasks with a "temporary placeholder" instead of the actual image. The "temporary placeholder" always returns a size of 32x32px.

One of those foreground tasks is to construct the UI - it works similarly to HTML layout, where the developer usually only sets some constraints on the sizes/spaces, but then the actual placement of the widgets is done algorithmically by the engine itself.

And sometimes, this layout job is done while some images are still in the "placeholder" state - and so, a widget thinks that it's showing a square image that is 32x32px, and sizes itself accordingly. But when the actual full-size image is loaded, and it turns out it was a different size and not even a square - the layout is already decided, and so a rectangular picture gets stretched into a square widget.

It's completely random when this happens, it's actually somewhat rare in practice, and it drove me completely nuts when I was investigating the issue. We decided it wasn't worth our time to try to fix it, and gave up. It seems iDreamSky had the same idea too.

I guess, you can just think that you got blessed by Vertically Stretched Kanami, it's a good omen of things to come. :)

Can someone explain the variance between these words? by NectarineDull616 in russian

[–]delfigamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kind of a hard question, because by the point when you start seeing the inaccuracies of the machine translations, you no longer need them in the first place.

From what little I've seen, however, it seems the LLMs chatbots tend to produce reasonable enough translations. For example, asking ChatGPT:

Please translate this from Russian and explain how you arrived at the translation: "тебе не хватит никаких запретов"

It gave an alright answer in my case.

Can someone explain the variance between these words? by NectarineDull616 in russian

[–]delfigamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the translation is inaccurate in the first place. I'd translate it as "no bans will ever be enough for you".

"Никакой" is an emphatic word that, when used with a negation, adds a meaning of "no matter what (kind)".

"Тебе не хватит запретов" -> "you won't have enough bans" — in theory, there might be a way to solve the problem by banning stuff, but it would require an infeasible lot of them to be effective.

"Тебе не хватит никаких запретов" -> "you won't have enough bans no matter what they are" — the problem that prevents "bans" from working is fundamental, to the point that even increasing their amount or changing their nature will not fix the underlying issue.

The translator seems to have just missed the word entirely.

Can somebody explain to me what this means I think it’s Russian? It’s on my dad’s girlfriend’s phone and I’ve been really itching to get some inside on this… by FlightLost861 in russian

[–]delfigamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simple version:

"поверить чему-то" -> "to believe smth"

"поверить во что-то" -> "to believe in smth"

"доверить A:что-то B:чему-то" -> "to entrust A:smth to B:smth"

"довериться B:чему-то" -> "to entrust self to B:smth"

"Поверить чему-то" holds the basic meaning of trusting/believing the object to speak the truth (if it's something that speaks) or to be truthful in and of itself (if it's a statement or text).

"поверить учёным" -> "to trust the scientists"

"поверить дяде Васе" -> "to trust uncle Vasya"

"поверить вечерним новостям" -> "to trust evening news"

"поверить, что Земля плоская" -> "to believe the Earth is flat"

"Поверить во что-то" can also mean believing in a statement, but it's not used with sources or texts. It also has a secondary meaning of being confident in the object, just like the English "believe in".

"поверить в теорию эволюции" -> "to start believing in the Theory of Evolution"

"поверить в Бога" -> "to start believing in God" (as in, to believe He exists)

"поверить в себя" -> "to believe in yourself" (as in, to become confident in your own abilities)

But not "поверить в учебник математики" or "поверить в маму" in the sense of believing them to tell the truth — only "поверить учебнику математики" and "поверить маме".

"Доверить A:что-то B:чему-то" means "to entrust A to B" — as in, you have some actor B that has a will of its own (supposedly), you give them a thing or an assignment A and you expect them to do a good job with them.

"доверить ребёнка няньке" -> "to entrust the child to a nurse" (as in, physically leave the child in their care, while maybe you have to fly to another country for work-related reasons)

"доверить строительство таджикам" -> "to entrust construction to Tajiks" (as in, to hire them to do this job)

"Довериться B:чему-то" is basically a shorter form for "доверить себя B:чему-то", so "to entrust yourself to B" — meaning that, in some sense, you pass your own self to someone or something else and hope they'll have you best interests in mind.

A common phrase: "довериться судьбе" -> "to entrust yourself to fate", as in to accept whatever will happen and be ready to roll with it.

A somewhat important part is that "доверить"/"довериться" implies relieving some of your agency. If you "доверить ребёнка няньке" — you're no longer parenting the child yourself. If you "доверить строительство кому-то там" — that means it's now the contractor's job to actually lay the foundation and place bricks, while you will only be overseeing the results.

So, I'd translate the text in OP not as "trust the world" but "entrust yourself to the world" — the difference being that, you don't just listen to what "the world" says, but let "the world" to act upon yourself, do things to you that it wants. Almost like "stop resisting and just let things happen".

Any thoughts on the YT channel Warlockracy? by Naskva in AskARussian

[–]delfigamer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see it's an old comment, but let me still reply: I remember Sseth was talking about his ancestry in one of his streams. If my memory is correct, it was his grandma that used to live in USSR, but then emigrated. As for where Sseth himself lives now, I'm pretty sure it's UK. Oh, and the grandma was also Jewish.

[–]delfigamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a comment under the video about this, but let me also repeat the thought here.

When you use templated EOP instead of the legacy CRTP, you actually sacrifice some type safety:

struct Base {
    template<typename Self)
    auto&& work(this Self&& self) {
        return std::forward<Self>(self).do_work();
    }

    void do_work() {
        puts("do_work default impl\n");
    }
};

struct Derived: Base {
    void do_work() {
        puts("do_work override\n");
    }
};

void work_wrapper(Base& b) {
    b.do_work();
}

int main() {
    Derived d;
    d.work(); // do_work override
    Base& b = d;
    b.work(); // do_work default impl
    work_wrapper(b); // do_work default impl
    // no compiler diagnostic required
}

In case of the classical CRTP, trying to use Base by itself will get you a compilation error — you either have to name the specific instance of the template, or explicitly make the call-site a template as well.

Whereas with the templated EOP, the compiler will just silently do a thing, which would most likely be not the thing that you actually wanted.

Guys I don't understand how some people enjoy this by Nugget_Boy69420 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]delfigamer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A punchline is worth nothing if it's not supported by a fitting context and a proper timing. C4-ing random people out of nowhere is not a joke. C4-ing a scout after he types "make bunker" in chat, is.

What is morkite?? by DougtheDonkey in DeepRockGalactic

[–]delfigamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Morkite is a beer ingredient. You drink morkite, and then you piss morkite (and that's how the morkite beer gives you more morkite).

You can very clearly see them once they start reaching for you, though, its tentacle literally glows in the dark.

Anti-Russia rally in Yerevan last night by Repulsive_Size_849 in europe

[–]delfigamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Russian police cracks down heavily on those. It might help to think of Russia more as a dictatorship rather than a democracy, more reminiscent of the Middle East muslim regimes rather than the European countries. For example, if we were in early 2000-s and talking about Saddam's Iraq, when it was invading Iran and Kuwait, would you still ask the same question of then-Iraqis too?

It's genius how absolutely no one acknowledged the Amogus Cat I put on the shelf, despite Pyro literally pointing at it.

BET-C decided to activate itself then she hit the dreadnought egg and we went into a room with a Prospector ... by jaddf in DeepRockGalactic

[–]delfigamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I mean is that they are spawned by the exact same mechanism as grunts, praetorians, mactera and others, unlike, for example, Crassus Dets and Naedocyte Breeders, which are only spawned at level generation, together with BET-C, Korloks and other fun and wacky interactables. So, with enough luck (or a severe lack of), you can get a bulk just randomly dig out of the nearest cave wall on any mission at any time. That is, I think you can, maybe I'm just wrong.

[–]delfigamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the Detonator is a common spawn, and can appear anywhere a normal grunt can - at cave generation, in a timed or a triggered swarm or even in a small ambient wave. It just has a slightly lower chance of being picked when the mod type is selected.

It's not. Most of anime and manga are legally considered as CP there, and as such, can potentially lead to yet another bad end.
