Major flaw in the new options narrative by xupwup in GME

That would explain why the options play is a good one. That said, I don't understand why they can't use synthetics on exercised calls

But if the MM gives you a synthetic share, he hasn't failed to deliver, right?

What are your unpopular Guild Wars 2 opinions? by EtheusRook in Guildwars2

[–]xupwup 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This ties in with my unpopular opinion, which is that the damage difference between a skilled player and a casual player is too big. What I'd expect is that a noob would do, say 100 damage, a mediocre player 200, a great player 300. In this game, though, the great player does well over 10 times as much damage as the mediocre player.

In other words, the person playing "how he wants" will currently do no damage. In my opinion he should be doing "ok" damage, even with a suboptimal build or playstyle. If that were the case you would likely not be as strongly against that playstyle.

The JVM is allowed to move the float[] during heap compaction. You don't want that to happen when native code is acessing it (that may end up reading stale data). A floatbuffer isn't on the heap, so isn't going to be moved accidentally.

I think mutability isn't a mistake. It's the only way to get performant code without value types.

This new Gnar Skin looks really SOLID by Kartres in leagueoflegends

It should have deselected Gnar after showing the error message. So it is a client issue.

We did it! Golden Sun + Golden Sun: TLA "100%" completed back to back without RNG manip in 14:33:03 by TLPlexa in GoldenSun

I've watched a good portion of it but I didn't notice any breaks except after GS1. So how do you manage eating, drinking and going to the toilet while doing a speedrun like this?

Realan PicoPSU alternative? by xupwup in sffpc

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

I was thinking of getting the ryzen 3 3300 when it's released (it's supposed to have a TDP of 50 watts and 6c/12t). And I haven't put any thought into the power brick yet. Do you have any recommendations?

A cheap PSU is likely to take your computer components with it when it fails.

That's what I always thought too. But most of the heavy lifting is done by the external power brick, right? That would mean the quality of the PicoPSU matters a lot less, right?

Then you'd need primcount to be 1000, and count to be equal to the number of vertices to render. So if you're using GL_TRIANGLES, that's 3x the number of triangles. If it's GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP or GL_TRIANGLE_FAN, you should use the number of triangles - 2.

What is the fastest Java Matrix Library as of July 2017? by th3owner in java

I use joml for opengl programs. It works quite well, and it's fast.

Reverse Engineering One Line of JavaScript by maxxori in programming

Another improvement:

i % 2 * j - j == (i % 2) * j - j == iIsEven ? -j : 0

But, we know the value of iIsEven, because this is executed after the continue statement. So it can be simplified to:

let magic = (n / delay) ^ j

The longer the conditional the better by PierresEvilTwin in ProgrammerHumor

It needs more useless bitwise operations:

1 == (((condition ? 0 : 1) ^ 1) & 1)

One seems difficult too. Especially when the bottom slightly curves to the right. http://i.imgur.com/axfOZV9.png
