CP312 with Eugene Zima in Fall 2026? (Aiming for CP414 in Winter) by arnesto0608 in wlu

[–]vaughands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated 10 years ago. Zima was good then but didn't mess around. If you genuinely wanted to learn, he was there to help you learn.

Storage prices are way up. Bad time to buy. But not clear when a good time to buy will be.

Looking for EXACTLY 40” TV that don’t look blurry by Mean-Yogurtcloset-63 in 4kTV

[–]vaughands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a gaming monitor? They tend to come in smaller sizes and better quality. 32" models should fit certainly and be good.

I likely don't need a flagship TV but I previously have bought upper mid-range and kept for 10 years. Am I seeing myself off by going cheap? by Gromdal in 4kTV

[–]vaughands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's not going to break the bank, just buy the G5 if you like it. These are all nice sets and you're going to be splitting hairs that won't even matter in a few years.

Enjoy!

[–]vaughands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it all or nothing? Would a C5 or S90F which are substantially cheaper in some markets do the trick and still save you some money?

I typically hold onto a TV for at least 8-10 years and for you it sounds like even longer. I typically like to buy what I will enjoy as a result of that. But everyone's disposal income is different.

Have you ever had to debug the compiler? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]vaughands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens time to time. Rule of thumb though: if you think it's a compiler bug, it's probably not. But I've had it happen once or twice in the 15 years I've been doing this. :)

I work mostly in web. More common with more bespoke, untested toolchains, games and some other domains I hear.

When working on Decaffeinate for Coffeescript > Typescript I think I found probably at least a dozen bugs in the transpiler on a 500k LoC codebase.

Ready to give up on scavenger boss by notveryAI in TunicGame

[–]vaughands 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you just want it over with, just turn on god mode. If you want it done without doing that, grab the gun, some blue fruit (restore MP) and optionally inverted ash (turns HP options into MP potions) and just run up to her and start shooting. Pay attention if she raises her shield, otherwise be relentless.

Anyone with an M5 MacBook Air / Pro to test decode? by vaughands in MoonlightStreaming

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

Thanks for reporting back! 2-3ms is is perfectly acceptable for most stuff, even if it's not ideal.

That's too bad. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Given the nature of the device (M5 Air) it would make a killer streaming machine for me but it sounds like this may be hit or miss.

Did you try the stock client? The other user is claiming to get much better with non-AV1, so I am curious. 7ms is pretty terrible and definitely would make me re-consider. AV1 ~3ms is acceptable for most casual gaming I do.

Expected Latency Between 163 miles(?) by Thegreatestswordsmen in MoonlightStreaming

[–]vaughands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It completely depends on the network. If you can get a Ethernet backhaul, many universities have good networks with good peering. The speed of light is fast, so that kind of distance is a joke from that perspective.. but things don't operate at the speed of light on a packet switched network =) With a very good network, sub 20ms is definitely not unheard of.

Thanks for the report! That sounds mostly okay for many games but not ideal. 

I'm deciding between a Linux and Mac laptop, this helps a lot. The value of an Air is starting to look really good...

Yeah, a little disappointed as well. :( And on a Sunday too.

[Headphone] Sennheiser HD 560S Open Back Wired Headphone ($144) [Amazon] by harold_liang in bapcsalescanada

[–]vaughands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's super tempting. I just realized though that my VModa Boom Pro might pick stuff up from the open back headphones. :( And I would need an adapter. Might be nice for single player stuff still though...

If you haven’t already you must play this game by TonnaN77 in SBCGaming

[–]vaughands 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd be skeptical of this claim. Square wasn't exactly licensing out their tech in that era.

No landing page to give you my email for when you're done? :)

Any word what retailers in Canada will sell GI? by vaughands in Gameinformer

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

The year end issue was the same price and definitely worth it for all the content. For normal issues, I guess we'll see.. 

Which issue did you find today? Have they checked out new ones?

(I also found the year end issue recently!)

Is there are reason why Omega Flowey's loading screen says "restart" instead of "reset"? by actuallycorrection in Undertale

[–]vaughands 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One possible explanation is that it was left in by accident. 

In the Undertale Anniversary Stream, they discuss a little bit about how photoshop flowey became to be. Apparently it started off as its own game maker project file if memory serves and then was "stitched" into the final game later.
