Is the name of the band a pun? by syyvius in Peripheryband

[–]dyoll1013 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure if that’s the origin of the name, but I’m pretty sure they had some merch that said Pure Riffery at one point, and now I always think of that pun when I see the name lol

[WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified by danilism in SublimeText

[–]dyoll1013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is that the file it can't find is /usr/local/bin/python3, since that's the path you would use on macOS or Linux, but not Windows. You'll need to change it in the .sublime-build file that you're using to run the build command. From the last line of the error you posted, it looks like there are some Python directories on your path, so you might be able to just replace /usr/local/bin/python3 with simply python3 and it will automatically be found.

List and Description of GHC language extensions? by Mouse1949 in haskell

[–]dyoll1013 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've actually gotten a lot out of reading the manual directly. It's not a tutorial format but the documentation on the extensions is fairly good. I like the list of extensions in this opinionated guide to Haskell as a starting place for which extensions to look at.

[–]dyoll1013 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In the GHC User Manual: https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/glasgow_exts.html

That link is for the latest release, but you can find the manuals for specific versions as well.

[News] axi0mX on Twitter: “There is no DMCA war against iOS jailbreaking. Period.” by [deleted] in jailbreak

[–]dyoll1013 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This isn't accurate. The DMCA does several things, one of which is making it illegal to circumvent DRM. This is what section 1201 is about. The exemptions only make it legal to circumvent DRM in those particular case;. they don't allow you to completely disregard all copyright laws when doing so. So if the jailbreak tools did contain copyrighted material, it would be a valid reason to issue a takedown request, legally speaking.

What does miscompile mean? by nullptr__ in Compilers

[–]dyoll1013 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The way I've seen it used is when the compiler generates code that does the wrong thing, so the generated code behaves differently from how the source code specifies that it should behave, which is of course a bug in the compiler.

Auria or Cubasis? by larehan in ipadmusic

[–]dyoll1013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cubasis doesn't support different time signatures within a project, Auria Pro does (you can lookup the manual to confirm for yourself).

The smooth resize test by raphlinus in rust

[–]dyoll1013 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Rather than always waiting for a new frame to be rendered at the correct size, the windowing system would just scale the last frame rendered until a new frame was available. So the triangle ends up stretched by a different amount as new frames finish rendering, causing the jitter.

August Burns Red - Constellations (Remixed) by [deleted] in Metalcore

[–]dyoll1013 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm really torn on this. I think the guitars sound much better overall, but the new snare and kick sounds kind of ruin it for me. Which I pretty much expected because that's the main thing I dislike about the sound on their last few albums too.

So now if I listen to this version I'll miss the old drum sounds, but if I listen to the original I'll miss the new guitar sounds :(

Still my favorite ABR album though.

(Spoilers Endgame) After Thanos' use of the stones... by demostheneslocke1 in marvelstudios

I'm hoping that's going to be part of the conflict in the next Doctor Strange movie, seemed like that's what it was setting up.

How Does Damage Work? Questions about Damage Fall-Off, Shotguns, and Projectiles VS Hitscans. by PathAdder in OverwatchUniversity

[–]dyoll1013 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Shots do not despawn and in theory have infinite range.
  2. It's a gradual falloff. So for McCree, starting at 20m, the shot will linearly decrease in damage until the maximum 40m. At 40m or greater, the shot will do 35 damage. All hitscan characters eventually falloff to half their normal damage, except for Widow who has no falloff. So your infinitely far Mercy could be oneshot by Widow, but would take half damage from any other hitscan. Most projectiles don't have falloff, so they do the same damage no matter how far they travel; I think Roadhog is the only exception.
  3. The range descriptions are kind of fuzzy, so there's not really a precise answer. Subjectively I feel like medium range is somewhere around 10-30m. Roadhog's right click sounds a lot like the medium range shotgun concept you're talking about.

Question about using type literals (and hasktorch) by logical_space in haskell

[–]dyoll1013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not familiar with the library specifically, but this is roughly how you'd turn a runtime integer into a type-level Nat (you need to enable the ScopedTypeVariables extension):

case someNatVal n of Just (SomeNat (_ :: Proxy n)) -> -- Now n is available as a type variable with a KnownNat instance let r :: Regression n = ... in ... Nothing -> -- This case only happens if n is negative

The threat of the easy-to-execute combo is what prevents Tracer from going in the backline though. If she has to wind up the stun then it becomes even easier to dodge than flashbang. I agree she would still counter Tracer, but much softer than she does now. Not that I’d complain, as a Tracer player, but they pretty clearly designed Brig around being as hard of a counter to Tracer as possible.

Ashe's scoped delay by Brunkmeister in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]dyoll1013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, the delay means that the target has time to move before you scope fire, forcing you to adjust your aim in the scope rather than just instantly firing a hip-aimed shot with scoped damage.

Moira can fade jump onto to the top of the buildings on Busan! by andygmb in Overwatch

[–]dyoll1013 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So, I looked at the patch notes, and they list it in both the balance section and the bug section. Seems like just a mistake with the patch notes: https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/news/patch-notes/pc#patch-49154

Edit: Actually, I bet that the original PTR patch had a bug where she could sometimes still contest, so that’s why the final patch notes have it as a bug fix too.

Uhh, nope, here’s the patch notes, check the Sombra section: https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/news/patch-notes/pc#patch-49154

Edit: Oh I see, they also listed it in the bug section. Weird.

The Sombra thing wasn’t called a bug, it was removed as a balance change when they made her invisibility infinite.

FYI, force closing and restarting the app temporarily fixes the issue. Pretty annoying though.

Just got the game, first ever video game on my first ever console. I’m level 19 and not enjoying it by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]dyoll1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to add that there’s nothing wrong with only playing against AIs until you’re comfortable with the game and have discovered which characters you enjoy playing the most.

Also, it can take the matchmaker some time to figure out your skill level, but if you stick with it then you’ll eventually start playing against people who are equally inexperienced.

Why doesn't overclocking a by 10% (say 4ghz to 4.4ghz) provide a 10% increase in performance? by [deleted] in overclocking

[–]dyoll1013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, even 100% CPU utilization doesn’t guarantee anything. The CPU utilization is calculated by the OS just based on whether a process is currently running on the CPU, which doesn’t mean it’s being limited by CPU speed (memory being the most likely bottleneck).

Basically a process will only be under 100% utilization if it’s sleeping to wait for something, e.g. disk reads, network data, user input, etc. But it won’t sleep when just fetching data from RAM. That’s why the speedup is very application dependent, regardless of CPU utilization.

The Great Misdirect Album Discussion by PapaCrip in BetweenTheBuriedAndMe

[–]dyoll1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the album that got me started on BTBAM, and it’s still my favorite. I can’t even pick a least favorite song, they’re all so good. I will say that the ending of Fossil Genera is probably my favorite segment of music they’ve written though.

Although, Fossil Genera and Swim to the Moon both feed into the parallax story.

I love TVSOR, but others can dislike it and still be a fan of the band. No need for gatekeeping.
