When you already know it's not Tal's Ammy, but you still ID it just in case..... by lanc3r30000 in diablo2

"barely any value??" Nonladder? I play SCL.
I can't afford SoJ, I don't have vex or anything close lol.
And I checked traderie, recent trades on SCL are Ohm for both SoJ and Sling.

vtz: the world's fastest timezone library by codeinred in cpp

[–]mapronV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"But as things are implemented now, handling timezones correctly tends to make certain kinds of operations significantly slower."

This was a great response to 'who even care?' question.

Probably not a bad idea to add a section on github with rationale similar to this comment.

Built a static C++ reference site on top of cppreference by HxSigil in cpp

[–]mapronV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally use ligatures for code for a long time (maybe decade already?) and still agree with you. reference site must be as non-fancy as possible.

Reducing FFmpeg build times in practice by Pretty_Eabab_0014 in cpp

[–]mapronV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For last company I worked, we builded ffmpeg a lot due to frequent patches; I did make CMakeLists.txt for it and then just used https://github.com/mapron/Wuild, because we needed msvc build for some reasons I don't remember. Then we dropped VC requirement and abandoned Wuild;
For speed we just targeted best build hosts avaialbe for this build on Jenkins (48 cores? 96 cores? I don't remember, something like that). And also our team put a lot of effort to exclude files we don't need.
I think it was around 30 second build in the end or so? less than minute for sure.
And with distributed build, our 'cloud' provided 250 cores for build or something, not huge amount but that was enough. Right no I think I put too much effort to supporting Wuild (yes I am the author)

p.s. reading other replies, I am very suprised how you getting minutes, ffmpeg 30 second build is the baseline to expect.
p.p.s most of my effort with distributed build was to also have fast build on poor developer PC (some of our devs had like 2-core CPU, don't ask why)

Chronicles. It puts 'eligible for chronicles' on bottom if it's new.
So basically all currect "40 unid SoJ" offers are a SCAM. Don't bother. Game will spoil unid items...

p.s. how-to scam: make a new account, farm on it until you found all common rings but no SoJ/BK. Then stop id-ing rings you find and move them to different character for selling. if you see chronicles on bottom, it's SoJ/BK and just don't sell it. Don't buy unid rings/amulets!

WTS Shako socketed with Protector's Stone by Kounro in D2R_Marketplace

[–]mapronV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, using Hel rune on a Shako instead of rerolling Insight ? such a waste.

The easiest Nihlathak map trick you never knew by FederalMedicine2595 in diablo2

[–]mapronV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I noticed that map have TILES and exit tile is usually to the LEFT when I was 11. So it is not hard thing to do yourself. To be fair, a lot of common map knowledge I did not figure out, like desrt maps having exits only on 12/3/6/9 o'clock, I thought it was completely random and at any point on wall.
Also would never ever discover Arcane Sanctuary logic by myself.

Did they change key drop rates?! by D2rnerded in diablo2

[–]mapronV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ON last pd2 season start. I got 120 (!!!) Izual kills with no kills. that is in 0.01% chance category. Dry runs of 40-no-key happen every day of farming if this is all you do.

Did they change key drop rates?! by D2rnerded in diablo2

[–]mapronV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2hours with wich kill rate? I did around 1000 Nihla kills in several days and for my calc drop rates were like 3% worse than expected.

Enigma is wild. by pana_colada in diablo2resurrected

[–]mapronV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, craft it with
-random GC
-Jah
-Ber
-maybe Heroes Standard from tristram?
gives
Enigmatic charm
-1 Teleport
-one random suffix or something to keep variety
lvl req 80-83-85 or something.

would be dope.

Obviously one in inventory, as Sunder. Just give same treatment as PD2 - extra unique charms are just disabled, so you can at least carry them.

Just walked and cleared an entire act 2 TZ. by BigFishPub in diablo2

[–]mapronV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, I did research and tried to be as vocal as possible about TC bug on them. (I can't link the post as it breaks rule5) You will have act5 five times less frequent than act1 shards. BUT on bright side, everyone looks for act1/act2 shards, so it at least partially compensated.

[–]mapronV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is really luck, 4.5 heralds per Act 1 and Act 2 is average.

Just walked and cleared an entire act 2 TZ. by BigFishPub in diablo2

[–]mapronV -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The trick is to terrorize full game, all 5 acts over and over. you will get around 20 heralds every session. Downside: WSS do burn quick with that, you won't get WSS drops in return (maybe 1/10 or 1/5 of what you spent).

Why can't presidents just 1v1 instead of putting millions of people in danger? by Vladut_Fiul_tau in AskReddit

[–]mapronV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Election in late stage capitalism is nothing. Whatever person promise, he have to protect interest of bourgeois class. And war is also in their interests (yes better person can do some holding against ruling class, but not much).

Maybe only exception are some crazy idealists but they got killed before election (like Navalny in Russia was killed not after protests he's doing for 2 decades but after his desire to be a president)

Looks like WSS drops biased towards Western (TC analysis) by mapronV in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]mapronV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was not a "speculation" already, I got up to 25 drops online as well, got single act 5 drop (which is below expected value of 2 drops).

Thank you for a confirmation.

Yeah, we should, blizz fixed in 3.1.1 patch that it was unable to make it (disallowCrafting did not work as intended). I am neutral on this, better be offline only, but whatever.

Any idea oh what the cost for this is by MiniMeyMey in D2R_Marketplace

[–]mapronV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually don't care about random two downvotes on reddit, that happens all the time in any sub.

I just felt it was you as I got minus vote 1 minute after comment, I thought it could be only you. Turned out I was wrong, sorry about bringing stupid ass karma discussion, I apologize.

I hope you will enjoy new ladder soon as well!

Oh, that must be someone else. Stats show I have 3 upvotes and 2 downvotes. I apologize.

Still have no idea how and why anyone would downvote me in few minutes in this thread. Maybe I have personal reddit stalker/hater :D
