They both have their place. I just recently discovered a bug in lemmy bot I wrote where the lemmy API module will raise an Exception if login fails (response status code != 200), which feels extremely out of place, as the error/status code do matter in that case.
Other times exceptions make more sense as Phillip pointed out.
It’s easier faster to ask for forgiveness than permission after all.
I can’t remember ever having used meta critic to guide a purchase. There is so much content both from forums and YouTube/Twitch that gives you much more accurate impressions of games. Meta critic seems rather pointless nowadays.
Children probably
Ubisoft are
- The format works for both lossy and lossless compression, depending on the use case and need. Photographs can be encoded in a lossy way much more efficiently than JPEG and things like screenshots can be losslessly encoded more efficiently than PNG.
Someone made a fair point that having a format being both lossy and lossless is not necessarily a great idea. If you download a jpeg file you know it will be compressed, if you download png it will be lossless. Shifting through jxl files to check if it’s lossy or not doesn’t sound very fun.
All in all I’m a big supporter of jxl though, it’s one of the only github repos I actively follow.
The amount of bots, spam and other problematic content would be overwhelming for admins to moderate, most instances would just defederate on day 0.
Just a heads up that I think you replied to the wrong comment in the chain
It started long before that, I think ubisoft in general was hugely influential in that trend.
I think Spyro was the first mainstream game to standardise achievements, you could do random stuff in-game and it gave you a little pop up
Which one did that?
It’s lemmy.world blocking the API calls when you use VPN. Bring it up with the admins, nothing boost can do.
Just don’t buy/play on launch day, that goes for almost every AAA open world game.
dare I say Arch is easier and users friendly than Ubuntu
No, please stop trying to fool Linux beginners into starting out with Arch.
PS5 is way better at decompression, so the textures are likely less compressed for better performance. Most likely the PC version will ship with higher resolution textures which would play a bigger role though.
What about websites providing CSAM, hosting livestreams of animals being tortured for payment, selling drugs, etc…
Blocking a website is the only way for a country to stop these kind of illegal activists, short of shutting down the physical servers.
This exaggeration gets tiresome, there are some great uses for LLM. The copilot autocomplete got to be one of the greatest QoL functions in a modern IDE.
It also generally work great for tech support, and lowers the skill requirement for installing and maintaining a Linux distro. Nowadays I will usually just redirect tech support questions from family members to an LLM.
Just because it won’t solve cancer in 10 years like the tech bros preach doesn’t mean the tech is without uses.
I’m somewhat insensitive to it myself but shader compilation stutter is something that is measurable and reproducible so there aren’t any room for arguments around it.
Other problems, yeah they may be system dependent although something like animation rubber banding I suspect would be the same across systems, though hard to identify if you aren’t experienced.
Some stranger’s 5600x doesn’t randomly have the hardware to compile shaders at 10x the speed of top of the line CPUs. A game that suffers from shader compilation stutters will do so on all systems. To say it didn’t stutter for you means either that:
It’s impossible to avoid for games that suffer from it.
The author pointed out how exceptions are often faster than checking every value. If your functions throws an error often enough that Exception handling noticeably slow down your program, surely you got to take a second look at what you’re doing.
