anybody here?
  • Hermitcraft? Seems hard seeing as the subreddit is about as official as it can get short of being literally, officially run by the Hermits. I can't imagine a Lemmy community would see any significant amount of participation except for some number of people double-posting in both. I'd be happy to be wrong though.

  • A proposal for java's "throws" in python: Extend type hints to cover exceptions
  • Hey, I like checked exceptions too! I honestly think it's one of Javas's best features but it's hindered by the fact that try-catch is so verbose, libraries aren't always sensible about what exceptions they throw, and methods aren't exception-polymorphic for stuff like the Stream API. Which is to say, checked exceptions are a pain but that's the fault of the rest of the language around them and not the checked exceptions per se.

  • Epic Games says its titular store remains unprofitable
  • I might buy more from Epic if their launcher weren't So. Freaking. Slow. Even claiming the free game is such a chore that I can't be bothered to do it. It takes several minutes to load, responds sluggishly, and lags everything else on my computer the whole time it's running. The only game I play from them anymore is Celeste because I can start it without ever going through the launcher.

  • HermitCraft S9#15: Decked Out - Phase 2: Loot & Scoot'n
  • I love the way Etho parkours through that hole in the crypt lava room, and over the fence and off the ledge in level 2 instead of sticking to the obvious path. Not sure if Tango intended for those to be doable but the extra pathing options seem to help a lot.

  • [DISCUSS] Pros/cons of videos for technical documentation?
  • The one case where I prefer video is when I know next to nothing about the topic and the other choice is mediocre to low-quality writing. Most people aren't great technical writers, and it's easy to skip over steps either because the writer assumes too much prior knowledge or simply because it takes effort to put that information in. On the other hand, videos are the opposite where it takes effort to cut stuff out, so you usually get all the steps which is what I need when I don't know anything.

    If I have the option of a well-written, step-by-step tutorial though, or if I already know the topic and have a vague idea of what I'm looking for, then text is much better for being able to search/skim/go back and forth at my own pace.

  • How weird it feels to call holoEN members by their nickname vs real name tier list
  • I consider YabaIRyS more of an epithet than a nickname. I can't imagine anyone using it to replace her name like "I wonder what YabaIRyS (IRyS) is doing", only as a description replacing yabai like "Bruh, YabaIRyS (yabai)" in response to something she did/said.

    Forgetting Faufau is pretty indefensible. It's been a long time, but that puts it in the same boat as Kronini and Sanana which I did remember.

    I wasn't sure if Fuwa-chan and Moco-chan count as nicknames or if they're just how you say their names in Japanese. I guess dropping the last syllable is what makes it a nickname as opposed to just their real name + Japanese honorific?

  • I Don't Use Exceptions in C++ Anymore
  • At a library level, couldn't you have an opaque sum type where the only thing you can do with it is call a match method that requires a function pointer for each possible variant of the sum type? It'd be pretty cursed to use but at least it wouldn't require compiler plugins.

  • C and C++ Prioritize Performance over Correctness
  • The behavior is defined; the behavior is whatever the processor does when you read memory from address 0.

    If that were true, there would be no problem. Unfortunately, what actually happens is that compilers use the undefined behavior as an excuse to mangle your program far beyond what mere variation in processor behavior could cause, in the name of optimization. In the kernel bug, the issue wasn't that the null pointer dereference was undefined per se, the real issue was that the subsequent null check got optimized out because of the previous undefined behavior.

  • Programming.Dev Feature Requests
  • No idea how hard it would be but it would be nice to have code blocks with syntax highlighting like on Github, so you could write something like

    ```python
    def f(x):
        return x
    ```
    

    and get syntax highlighted code def f(x): return x

    What is the best memory model for a Tic Tac Toe grid? (References and ownership)
  • Do you care about modeling the cells? If not, you could represent each row with just a number. When X plays, add 1 to all the rows that include the position they played, and when O plays, subtract 1. If any row reaches +3 or -3, that player wins.

    As for rotation/reflection invariance, that seems more like a math problem than a Rust problem.

  • Connect the World archive expires in a little over 24 hours

    Apparently there's a recut version of the archive with some extra footage. If you watched the original version, you might have missed it. Bae is hosting a watchalong which will be the perfect excuse to rewatch the concert VOD before it goes away.

    I tried to post this before and I don't think it went through, but maybe it did so sorry if this is a duplicate post.
