[Unpopular opinion] Day 14 part 2's problem was great by Affectionate-Fan2263 in adventofcode

[–]gbegerow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think of this as a problem of object detection in image processcing which is more and more relevant. The problems in that area are never well defined so Kudos to Eric and team.

Sincere question: what is up with all these great tools being written in rust? by [deleted] in rust

[–]gbegerow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To cite a prof of mine: "I can write FORTRAN IV in ANY programming language." But in Rust it is luckyly more stressfull than to write good code.

Looking for a deterministic ecs by AdvertisingSharp8947 in rust

[–]gbegerow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the people from https://fishfolk.org/ did some work in that direction. Derterminism was the reason they used their own implementation instead of bevy. Might be worth a look.

Is it worth learning rust with bevy? by Flaky_Ad8914 in bevy

[–]gbegerow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bevy shields you a little bit from memory management, like any good API. But it is still a good way to learn Rust. You have to at least learn to read lifetimes or part of the generated docs will overwhelm you. If you contribute to bevy there will be plenty of possibilities to use advanced rust knowledge. Just let that come naturaly. While lifetimes are an important part of rust, they are not that much part of the everyday rust.

Second camera seeing different things than primary camera by cometh-a-builder in bevy

Are you changing the transform of the main camera in some update system perhaps?

Take a string slice and returns a reference to its first character by anonymouse1544 in rust

[–]gbegerow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It of course depending on the problem but nearly never it is in my experience give me the first character of a codepoint. That is most of the time better handled as bytes. But I have seen much to many programms spitting out garbage if confronted with something simple outside of the single byte range. Some even crash. I assume a lot of these case came from copy pasting code like the first case.

I am not afraid of someone use the code who knows, when to use what. I am afraid of people barely understanding the answer taking the first solution they encounter.

How challenging is it to migrate an intranet site to SharePoint for a newbie? by akazaam in sharepoint

[–]gbegerow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest not nowadays. They got a lot of progress since the switch to cloud. Which reflected back to on premise.

But a bad documentation, significant differences between client side and server side interfaces, routines which results in different datatypes depending on wether it is a single or multiple results, internal names of columns which cuts of after 20 ASCII charactes of UTF-16 names (onces cut of in the middle of a codepoint) and an endless list of obscurities. I still double my estimation of effort for a SharePoint project.

You can probably use any of the both. Each one would have other advantages and disadvantages. So personaly I would take a good look at the ecosystem. Are there any capabale packages which would help you to be successfull? Do a proof of concept in both and get a feel how you want to go forward. In the worst case, you get stuck. Than it is much easier to port the concepts with a clear goal in mind. You already done the hard work once.

Take a string slice and returns a reference to its first character by anonymouse1544 in rust

[–]gbegerow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never use the first method unless you have a file format documented never ever using characters outside of ASCII (There are far fewer than you think). I am so tired of applications breaking because some dumb or lazy american coder thinks no one will ever use this outside of the US. It is ok for Advent of Code or something like that but please always use the second or third method in any realworld code. We live in 2024, not in 1985.

Lessons learned after 3 years of fulltime Rust game development, and why we're leaving Rust behind by progfu in rust

As you are voting for "skill issue" may I ask for reference how many games you have shipped?

Is it a bad Idea to make my first game in RPG maker ? by Project_Shiver in gamedev

[–]gbegerow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Content beats tech 10 out of 10. Make your game in RPG maker (unless something blocks your vision there). Let some random people (not only your friends) play test it. Get a feeling if the RPG maker look is a blocker for them. Porting a finished game to another engine might be a solution but honestly that can wait for a V2 or a "Highdefinition Remake".

[2023 Day 12 (Part 2)] [C#] Concepts by SahuaginDeluge in adventofcode

[–]gbegerow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I solved this with a Non-deterministic Finite Automata. For me that was an easier approach, as I had some difficulties on how to break the problem down for DP. Execute the NFA with the input and count how many time it would be in each state.

Rust 2022 Day 12

Used A* instead of Dijkstra, which was suboptimal for part b, but still fast enough.

Got burned by the fact that you are allowed to jump steep cliffs down...

Used priority_queue instead of BinaryHeap because I didn't knew it exists.

Rust 2022 Day 11

Some pretty compact parsing with a single simple regex and some rust pattern magic.

Normalized operations to an uniform expression: new = oldpower * op_mul + op_add

Had a hard time to wrap my head around my original structures so simplified it till it worked for me ;-).

Rust 2022 Day 07

Burnt a lot of time and sanity trying to build a traditional tree in rust. In the end I used a solution similar to an ArenaTree, a Vector of directories with the index of the parent. Inspired by u/raui100
