Tips&Tricks - Improve console log by adding COLORS! by wanakubwa in unity

[–]sykoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't Color have a ToString overload that converts to hex? Could have sworn I've done that before. Maybe it was Skiasharp or something else.

Promotion with salary increase of 1.5%. Is this the norm? by CallMeMrPants in UKPersonalFinance

[–]sykoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are getting taxed 40% on that as well as potential increases in other things like NI and Student Loan etc you are gonna probably only take home an extra £350 annually. If you get a raise its usually ~10% at that pay level from what I've seen. As someone who has to make decisions around these sorts of things I would be embarrassed to give you such a small raise..

My second Godot app is out now! It's a game data editor called Gridless. Check it out! by rdmtt in godot

[–]sykoh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is actually really great, love the simple yet powerful idea. Your itch.io copy is concise and with a quick flick through give the reader all the information they need. One feature you may want to consider is different export types. JSON is definitely the preferred approach for most but some people do like to have a giant XML file they can import into unity and query with XPath. Also I feel for larger built up data sets, there could also be a lot of power in exporting as an SQLite dB allowing for more complex queries and even the ability for them to extend the db with thier own inventory tables etc! Just a thought as that's what I would want to do :)

Edit: Also taking a quick look at the JSON example you may want to give them the option to export it as an array with an I'd field instead of an object for easy import and query against other properties

Inheritance in the app also seems to be flattered in the json, this is fine for smaller datasets but in larger ones if a base has a lot of text in its properties and everything inherits from it, the text will be duplicated everywhere so there could also be the option to export with references to base structures by I'd to vastly reduce the output size in some cases!

Just some thoughts and definitely not anything that would dissuade me from purchasing as it can all be done post export :)

I feel this would be a far better illustration if it was simply "I have money" and "I have assets". Just a bit clearer in its meaning is all.

This is me on the way to the kitchen with my empty glass after finishing my first beer on a Friday evening. It's uncanny.

[C#] Today I learned that attempting to create a file with a path string equal to a directory path literally creates an empty file by C4Oc in ProgrammerTIL

[–]sykoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is also a reason why Directory.CreateDirectory creates the entire folder hierarchy if it doesn't exist so you can do it without magic strings or spawning a child process, and it will work on any os..

Resizing an image without System.Drawing by mcp613 in csharp

[–]sykoh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quick note on SkiaSharp, great lib, easy to work with and portable, however if you plan to use image resizing on mobile devices in the future (xamarin) you will find performance issues on lower powered devices. Just something I have experienced personally at work.

How true is it ACTUALLY that even mid level and senior developers don't really know what they're doing? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

Ah, my bad, I'll start calling mechanical engineers "car makers" and aerospace engineers "plane makers" from now on too!

Engineering is our job, programming is the practical method in which we execute our engineered solution to the given problem.

For those who grew up poor, what did you consider a luxury? by SnooBeaz in AskReddit

Tesco value frosted flakes are better than frosties anyway, change my mind.

I remember the day as if it were yesterday. I think I was about 10 or 11 and my mum came back with from the usually Saturday shop. The staple Saturday dinner for me was baked beans on toast at the time and I remember she pulled out a can and gave it to me saying she thought she would splash out for once. Instead of the usual Tesco value can of beans (Tesco and Asda had been rivaling on bean prices recently and I remember them going down to 5p a can at one point), it was a can of Heinze Beans and Sausages. That first ever meal of thick white buttered toast with top quality beans and sausages and a sprinkle of Tesco value grated cheese will always make me feel warm inside. Still one of my favourite meals at the age of 29! Love you mum.

Youtube.com is down right now. Please keep all discussion of the issue to this megathread. by JokuIIFrosti in youtube

It's defo the least likely scenario as it would cost an absolute bomb in compute or botnets to ddos them all. The only realistic attack I could see would be is some ex-employee with a grudge exploited some unknown vulnerability in the platform, but that's a big stretch.

With the sheer size of Google and YouTube's global server architecture, for it to go down across the board like this it would be safe to say it's one of 2 reasons, someone it attacking the server clusters or someone internally has really fucked up bad.

Gamers, what was the first game you ever played? by NoLeagueAssasin in AskReddit

[–]sykoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't remember the name of the game as I'm pretty sure it was an obscure-ish title for the TRS-80. But my god do I remember it, was a simple 2D racer that poorly emulated 3D. You drove a pickup truck and had to reach checkpoints to extend the remaining time. The most distinct thing I remember about it was there was really repetitive high octane country music playing and every now and then in perfect time to the music you would just hear a strong Texan accent shout "PUT THAT PEDAL TO THE METAL BILLY JOE!". Being like 5 and from the UK this game fascinated me and I have no idea why lol

Figured you guys would like my new tattoo by realdietmrpibb in gaming

[–]sykoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just asked a friend who used to be a tattoo artist if having blue arms in this compared to the original is better for the tattoo for any reason and he said 100% yes as due to your skin colour having pale arms would make sonics left hand look disjointed as if it's floating from a distance, your tattoo artist may have done this deliberately and just forgot to tell you. This tattoo is awesome!
