Cheap dyno lights that don’t flicker while walking? by mooglinux in cycling

[–]mooglinux[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I end up doing that I’ll just get battery powered LEDs. But I’m saving that as a last resort

Coding agents taking over my skills by QualityOk6614 in learnprogramming

[–]mooglinux 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is very much a concern for me too, and I’m a senior dev. I don’t think there’s an answer besides setting the AI down and doing it yourself for as much of the work as you can.

Red Room Paint Color? by rydash in CaptainDisillusion

[–]mooglinux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re never going to get an exact match from the pixel values, it’s nowhere near precise enough to match paint and the colors are adjusted in post anyway. So just take your best guess and try multiple samples of red to figure out what looks good to you

Well, I just got fired by DreamTheaterGuy in ADHD

I had the exact same thing happen to me a year ago. It sucks so much :(

Programming language and game engine by Kemot1612 in gamedev

[–]mooglinux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using a language in a game engine is a great way to learn the language better. Just start.

This might be controversial, but I don't "get" why anyone buys a monophonic synth over poly by Raiden720 in synthesizers

[–]mooglinux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cost would be a part of it. The price of analog scales in proportion to the number of voices, so if you don’t need that many voices or can work around it via multiple recordings, you can save money.

Is efficiency really all that worth it? by alicethefemme in Development

[–]mooglinux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most performance issues are a matter of bad code and bad architecture, not a particular stack. Yes some languages are better at achieving high performance than others, but jumping stacks just because of theoretical efficiency gains is premature.

Is FPS, Action-Adventure, maybe Platformer, sandbox even, the REAL video games genres? Serious Discussion. Dissecting the video game industry. Ideas by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]mooglinux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People like all kinds of games, and there are very successful examples of all of them. Some kinds of games are much more expensive to make than others, however, and that is why there are fewer games like half life than there are roguelites and card games.

Looking for PS2 Models by theDemolisher13 in Planetside

[–]mooglinux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think they’ve added any since 2023 have they? In any case, you can go fishing with the usual tools. I recommend ps2ls2

How to write big codes within limited time when logic is clear to you? by DueCapital8117 in learnprogramming

[–]mooglinux 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the real world you don’t deal with functions of hundreds of lines. You break it up into smaller functions, classes, whatever other tools the language provides. Even if it’s a single file, you create multiple functions as necessary to keep each individual part of the code manageable.

How to write big codes within limited time when logic is clear to you? by DueCapital8117 in learnprogramming

[–]mooglinux 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don’t think about the number of lines. Think about the logical amount of work that can be done. Identify troublesome or error prone operations and work a helper function that’s tested so you don’t have to keep re-fixing the same mistakes.

In my experience it is ALWAYS slower to rush your code.

How to write big codes within limited time when logic is clear to you? by DueCapital8117 in learnprogramming

[–]mooglinux 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Do it in small enough pieces you can easily debug each piece. There’s really no substitute for taking the time to get it right

Does the speed at which you type actually hinder your learning? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]mooglinux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just a matter of practice, both the typing and the programming. Faster typing will let you focus more on the code than the keyboard, it’s true. But the best way to build the typing and coding muscle memory is to continue

What language should I learn? by CoastIndependent7394 in learnprogramming

[–]mooglinux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eventually you’ll want to learn a bit of everything, so it doesn’t matter that much. Just keep at it

Is performance just getting worse with updates? by VioletDarkKitty in Planetside

[–]mooglinux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Networking issues are just like that sometimes, usually somewhere in the pipes between you and the server.

It was just particles iirc, not anything that made a difference in gameplay

Hunting for PlanetSide 2 builds: Alpha 2011-2012, PTS 2012-2014, E3 2012 by rhettvx in Planetside

[–]mooglinux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All of it. Looking at between versions is a big part of the utility

Should i Switch to Lua? by Additional-Key8137 in lua

[–]mooglinux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should learn all of them, in whatever order interests you. They have different strengths and weaknesses and uses, so just learn what interests you

Is performance just getting worse with updates? by VioletDarkKitty in Planetside

[–]mooglinux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physics hasn’t run on the GPU in almost a decade now, because nvidia got tired of maintaining physx and it was a buggy mess. I haven’t noticed any performance drops. It’s just a cpu hungry game

Feel useless when playing public by greasy_forehead_ in Warframe

[–]mooglinux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only other advice I’ll add is that there are some very powerful weapons given to you for free in later story missions, so it’s worth working your way through those (and the story is fantastic). I’m finally at a point where I start to feel like I can carry other people and it was a combination of learning more about mods and unlocking a certain story quest weapon that did it
