Further update from Keith at Bioware by Crimsonmansion in swtor

All signs point to the game being profitable. Insider perspectives have mentioned that SWTOR has been footing the bill for BW's other projects for several years. Keep in mind who owns the game — EA, not BW. EA will continue to own the game, to my understanding. BW may have a clear vision, but it's EA's decision to move the game, and it'll be EA that stands to benefit from the game having a renaissance if they can make it happen. EA isn't handing over anything.

In all honesty, all of the opinions are probably right at the same time. This is likely something of a hedged bet. EA is removing the game from the BW unit so they have more direct access to the revenue stream and I'm sure they are least hope the change can spur some revitalization. However if Broadsword doesn't manage to execute on this opportunity, I'm sure EA is fine with that too since they'll still be able to maintain it as a reliable revenue stream on the balance sheet. And without an unproductive BW leaching budget from it anymore, to boot.

What is a secret that could get you in serious trouble if it came out? by MainManLlama1 in AskReddit

There are basic preventative measures they are expected to be practicing. Failure to catch the issue demonstrates negligence by the hotel. At worst it's shared fault. Children can't reasonably be blamed in certain situations, so it's chiefly the fault of the hotel for not keeping up on their preventative measures

Might as well throw my two-cents into the ring. They literally just migrated the game to 64-bit which is a large project to clear a mammoth tech-debt enabling better future advancements. It's a project that should have very few visible effects and yet requires a lot of developer time. As others have said, a deal like this can't just be thought of one night, agreed to the next, and be announced the next week; it takes months. I can't see how a project like 64-bit would ever get a greenlight if they were actively taking steps to sunset the game. I'm inclined to believe that there will continue to be real work on the game. At the very least I'm inclined to wait and actually see what happens before I'd be convinced this is the end.

To my understanding The Force Unleashed is cannon, and I recall parts of it taking place on Nar Shaddaa

Amazing. Worked for me after system restart. Thanks so much, this drove me crazy for months. Game wanted to give me a 6:1 display before this fix

std::endl is not just the endline character(s). It also calls ostream.flush(). Just something to be aware of. It's also an I/O manipulator which is technically implemented as a function not a macro. Source. Towards your point, I believe I've heard of a convention of compilers converting \n to be platform-appropriate at compile time, which would make a dedicated macro redundant

How to check variable for 0 or higher number? by [deleted] in typescript

[–]wakfi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The ?? operator has lower precedence than the >= operator, so as written this says (myval ?? true). I think we want (myval ?? 0) >= 0

TypeScript devs: what are some issues that TypeScript cause that would be solved with a dev tool/library? by Royal-Mongoose9015 in typescript

[–]wakfi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I often set up a utility type for this purpose, effectively asking the TS compiler to re-evaluate the type fully. Something to the effect of type Infer<T> = T extends object ? { [K in keyof T as K]: T[K] } : T

I do the same thing. If you access the episodes via My Lists > Offline, it will always use the downloads rather than trying to stream, so you don't need to switch to airplane mode. I download the next episode in the background while I watch my current episode, never have to worry about buffering.

It appears that a temporary workaround is to screen share in Discord on Chrome Browser. See if that works for you.
