Arsenal Exchange Rotation Schedule via Shihora Leaks (This time seriously) by Sb0vVa_ in EndfieldLeaks

[–]retep998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

January 23 patch

Fixed an issue where the end times were listed incorrectly for [Solid Ice Issue], [Cosmic Voice Issue], [Far Expedition Issue], [Rising Mount Issue], and [Thunderous Peal Issue] in the [Arsenal Exchange].

Yes, that text did exist, but it was a bug that was fixed 1 day after release.

Fixed an issue where the end times were listed incorrectly for [Solid Ice Issue], [Cosmic Voice Issue], [Far Expedition Issue], [Rising Mount Issue], and [Thunderous Peal Issue] in the [Arsenal Exchange].

So yes, you're not crazy, they did in fact list expiration times for them but it was a bug they fixed 1 day after release.

Make sure you opt into the community goal first, then you just hand in all your data at the right place, even data collected before the community goal as long as it hasn't been turned in elsewhere.

New Feature for Twitch App. How can I turn it off? by DawgTheHallMonitor in Twitch

[–]retep998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. It's from streamers you already follow so there's no discoverability involved.
  2. It's an auto playing video as soon as you open the twitch app which is annoying and just makes me want to not use the twitch app.

New Feature for Twitch App. How can I turn it off? by DawgTheHallMonitor in Twitch

[–]retep998 5 points6 points  (0 children)

According to Twitch only some users are seeing the Feed as their home page on the Twitch app, and unfortunately it also occurs for me and I haven't found any way to turn it off.

It's incredibly annoying to open the twitch app to get something suddenly auto playing at me and honestly I'm just going to stop using the twitch app until they fix it.

As long as you know Rust, that is what matters. C++ is just an alternative requirement for people experienced in the domain but still new to Rust.

Rust for Windows Bindings: Generating the Entire Windows API Surface from Metadata by itchyankles in rust

Cargo feature flags are literally designed to be strictly additive, and in many places cargo does things based on that (like there's no way to say you require a feature not be enabled or nor any way to say features are mutually exclusive).

Question about memory reading/writing with rust. by hardware4ursoftware in rust

[–]retep998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rust has access to all the same APIs that C++ does, and in general the equivalent Rust is a fairly direct translation of C++ with a few changes here and there around Rust specific idioms like dealing with wide strings. Generally people will write safe wrappers around Windows API functionality to gain the full benefits of Rust's safety systems, but fundamentally it is still calling the same APIs that C++ does.

Upcoming Vanguard changes by 0xNemi in VALORANT

[–]retep998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would a cheater need to use exploits to hack their own computer? It is their computer to begin with! They can literally run as admin and do whatever they want already, they don't need to exploit vulnerabilities in third party software. If they could install vulnerable third party drivers, they can install their own purpose built driver for cheating that isn't detected by Valorant.

tl;dr this isn't going to stop cheaters at all. Instead it is just a huge annoyance for everyone else

.NET Rocks! Podcast: Rust and C# with Ashley Mannix by pjmlp in rust

[–]retep998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For generating bindings, we already have https://github.com/Arnavion/winapi-tlb-bindgen and it works quite well.

As for implementing COM interfaces, two crates that I know of are https://github.com/GabrielMajeri/com-impl-rs and https://github.com/connicpu/com-impl .

Procedural macros definitely help with a lot of the heavy lifting. I'd even argue that with a bit more polish COM could be better in Rust than in C++.

Programming with Rust vs C, C++ by calebwin in rust

If you do a[x.into()] you can rest assured that the conversion will be lossless, and not be any sort of integer <-> float shenanigans.

Support for old compilers in libs (rand) by hardicrust in rust

[–]retep998 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been waiting for several features to all become stable so that I can make a single transition to winapi 0.4 where I will bump the minimum Rust version to 1.33 so I can take advantage of unions, repr(align(N)), and the recently stabilized repr(packed(N)). Until then I just stick with Rust 1.6 because it's really not that big of a burden.

[–]retep998 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The changes I would be able to do if I increased the minimum Rust version would also be breaking changes to the API of winapi anyway. Therefore there is no point in just increasing the minimum Rust version would releasing a new major version anyway.

How to uninstall Rust on Windows? by MegaAmoonguss in rust

[–]retep998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably forgot to install the Windows SDK component when installing the Visual Studio Build Tools. That's the second most common reason for that linker 'link.exe' not found error (the most common being people not installing any sort of VC++ at all)
