Pathfinder also has fairly detailed difficulty settings panel, you can tailor the difficulty to your liking. Story mode difficulty and auto level up presets makes the game beatable for even your grandma, so you can ease into the system.

There are also some great guides out there for different builds for both companions and main character.

Graphics and voice acting, but only because they randomly stop speaking and go to pure text during dialogue. BG3 also doesn’t have Blackwater…

100% agree with the rest. I really hope Owlcat gets inspired by the more dynamic elements/environments from Larian’s games though.

Weird, they used the latest version of C++ at my university. Had to use Assembly and C in embedded though.

Which in turn reposted it from a Roman source

I don’t want to get into an Internet argument over pedantry. Linter is often used as a catch-all term for static analysis tools.

Wikipedia defines it as

Lint is the computer science term for a static code analysis tool used to flag programming errors, bugs, stylistic errors and suspicious constructs.

Catching type errors and attribute errors would fit under this description, if you use a different, more precise definition at your workplace, cool, then we just have different definitions for it. The point is that your IDE should automatically detect the errors regardless of what you call it.

OP suggested that linters for python won’t catch attribute errors, which they 100% will if you use type hints, as you should.

What happens at runtime is really relevant in this case.

class MyClass:
    def __init__(self, x: int):
        self.whatever: int = x

def foo(x: MyClass) -> int:
    return x.whatevr

Any decent IDE would give you an error for unresolved attribute. Likewise it would warn you of type error if the type of x.whatever didn’t match the return type of foo()

Once operational, the energy generated is cheap and will still be in demand

And then the other half of the Internet cries about how all they do are lazy remasters.

No. Different genre at this point

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.

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.

I don’t think you become the best tech CEO in the world by having a healthy approach to work. He is just wired differently, some people are just all about work.

Children probably

It’s just a research paper, not a product. It’s about discovering and learning new possible methods and applications.

You could always ask someone to vouch for you. It could also be that you have open communities and closed communities. So you would build up trust in an open community before being trusted by someone to be allowed to interact with the closed communities. Open communities could be communities less interesting/harder for the bots to spam and closed communities could be the high risk ones, such as news and politics.

Would this greatly reduce the user friendliness of the site? Yes. But it would be an option if bots turn into a serious problem.

I haven’t really thought through the details and I’m not sure how well it would work for a decentralised network though. Would each instance run their own trust tree, or would trusted instances share a single trust database 🤷‍♂️

A chain/tree of trust. If a particular parent node has trusted a lot of users that proves to be malicious bots, you break the chain of trust by removing the parent node. Orphaned real users would then need to find a new account that is willing to trust them, while the bots are left out hanging.

Not sure how well it would work on federated platforms though.

• 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.
