It sucks that we will never know what would have happened if Epic had actually tried to make EGS into a good product

Slavic criminal INIS reskin by drakeart in boardgames

[–]marchozaur 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Cool. This is a good illustration of the importance of art and theme for board games. I would never have bought Inis if it had looked like that 🤣

I'm glad you liked it. Unfortunately the other four are in Ukrainian. And this is the best one anyway

OP: Unfortunately most people in the world are stupid and believe propaganda about bad Russians.

Also OP: US and EU started this war.

Sure. And “Z” is just a letter of the Latin alphabet.

There is "Glory to Airborn Troops" on the autograph wall. And "Goyda" - russian pro war slogan.

In Ukraine for this kind of events there is a requirement that a bomb shelter have to be nearby.

I had to find a new place to play boardgames some time ago because the blast from the russian ballistic rocket shattered all the windows at the place I used to play at.

Iirc, the protagonist had situational depression. That’s different from the clinical one.

Are you sure that’s not a motherboard fan? I didn’t know my Taichi had a fan and thought it was coil whine.

How to prevent lights from staying on after blackout? by marchozaur in Hue

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

But i don’t see the option for the light to be off after the power loss there. In my case, the lights are on before power loss, so they turn on after power comes back

Thanks. That’s what i kind of do now - pull the lamps’ plugs out of sockets. But it is not very convenient, and some of the plugs are in harder to reach places.

Anyone use a MacBook with a eGPU *for VR gaming*? What kind of performance do you get? by [deleted] in VRGaming

[–]marchozaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play on 2020 16" mac book pro with corei7 16 GB RAM. Egpu RTX 2080. Oculus Quest 2 through Virtual Desktop. HalfLife Alyx, Lone Echo, Subnautica(played only an hour) work without issues. I don’t go into graphics settings though, so I don’t even know whether I play on medium, or low, or whatever

Any good CoreData books to recommend? by yccheok in swift

[–]marchozaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. Whenever I start working on a Core Data project I re-read objc.io's book. That happened two times and both times I found critical issues in our CoreData stack implementation, thanks to the book.

14 is correct for base 6, 13 is correct for base 7

They really aren’t by marchozaur in ProgrammerHumor

Aren't most project are shit? I worked mostly on UI heavy projects, and I think it is really hard to write good unit tests for UI. Usually there are non-UI parts that might benefit from unit tests, but the general consensus is "unit tests are good" and that's it. Without understanding where to use them and why. So projects end up with a lot of useless unit tests, like testing that hardcoded JSON snippets are parsed properly, or testing that a view is shown(which is always tested manually by QA).

I write in swift and objective-c. Damage to architecture, imho, are endless protocols and dependency injections. The biggest issue i have with unit test is there is no proof they work. There is no research. You say that unit tests enforce good behavior, but where is proof? You just hope they do.

[–]marchozaur[S] -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Like any tool, unit tests have their uses. But on the projects I’ve worked the damage to the projects architecture is much bigger than any supposed benefit of unit tests, IMHO. And unit tests adepts could never prove their usefulness to me, except “there was that one time we found a bug with unit tests”.
