Days and days of refactoring are taking their toll on me

John McDonald

;( That sucks man. I've been there

Noctrine

At least it's not super slow anymore. Still not at the point of rebuilding features though.

hasherr

Case and GPU showed up today. HDD tomorrow.

Thinking about buying PSU for Saturday.

After that, though, I have no more money to finish the build

M Davies

Sell your body on the streets. ;D

hasherr

Looks like that's the only way to go

Or organs, you can get a couple of million for certain ones on the black market.

Lasse

couple of million for organs :O

where do I apply

I don't need some of my stuff

M Davies

Like I'd know. >.>

I think a person is worth 6 million in body parts.

Lasse

doesn't it depend on blood type too?

If you are going to downvote a answer, it just might be helpful if you actually told me why you downvoted. Just sayin'.

But no.

A: Single or multiple inheritance for game world objects

Multiple inheritance In C++, you generally want to avoid multiple inheritance. It can really add complexity to your code. Especially when you include two objects that have the same base class. Alternative to multiple inheritance In Java, you can use interfaces in most of the cases were you may...

M Davies

I don't think so?

Aidan Mueller

9:21 PM

Just downvote and leave me without the slightest clue as to why my information is incorrect.

@Lasse Do you think that my information is invalid? I mainly touched on why you generally want to avoid multiple inheritance.

I just do not understand this.

Lasse

I don't know

M Davies

The internet is a fickle place. Where even the friendliest of people have enemies.

Aidan Mueller

OK. I think I see how I could improve it.

I once saw a youtube comment: "X people thought that the dislike button said 'dis I like' "

Lasse

I like the "more classes" solution better, but only if it fits

generally I just want some entity class that can take in a name and some properties like model and maybe scripts

and load them from file

for example in my block renderer, I got BufferObject class, and then I have VertexBufferObject class that inherits the BufferObject, and ElementBufferObject that also inherits the BufferObject

But that's because they share some common things, but work very differently

Pip

heyo

@Lasse yep

this is so fucking frusterating

Aidan Mueller

@Pip What is malware tycoon about?

Pip

think game dev tycoon but making malware

no story yet tho

Aidan Mueller

@Pip But does it contain malware?

Alex M.

who the fuck is david

Lasse

what is that glove

I wouldn't want to wear a glove like that

Alex M.

it's one of those PowerFap(tm) tools

Pip

9:41 PM

@AidanMueller nope

Lasse

also I've tried using the SE app on android, and it was crap then

I wonder if they have updated it

Aidan Mueller

@AlexM. David after the dentist?

Lasse

it seems they have updated it

oh, it wasn't that app at all

no wonder then

^ rule of thumb for my avatars: if character is looking left to the viewer or slightly left, it gets placed slightly to the right

analogous for right

if it's a direct look, it gets placed in the center

sometimes I waste 20+ mins on positioning :'(

@AidanMueller Your opening statement is potentially misleading, implying that polymorphism in general is bad. You also fail to discuss virtual inheritance which address the "deadly diamond" I presume you are referring to in your opening statement. It also sounds like you are advocating pushing functionality up the inheritance tree, creating god objects, which is generally a bad design.

Aidan Mueller

9:46 PM

I am already fixing it.

I realize this.

user4704

Those are the big issues that stand out to me on first glance, they might be why you got downvoted.

Aidan Mueller

@JoshPetrie Still, I was mainly concerned with the fact that they didn't bother to leave a message.

@AlexM. @Lasse And I agreed that we are starting to see you as an anime character.

Alex M.

I don't mind

user4704

@AidanMueller It happens.

user4704

Gotta get used to it.

Alex M.

9:53 PM

half of my dev lately has been about extending unity's editor

feels so meta

Aidan Mueller

People say Java is repetitive. Maybe.
JavaObject javaObject = JavaObjectProvider.getNewJavaObject(javaObjectProperties.getJavaObjectProperties());

Michael Myers

@AlexM. A guy who has a PowerGlove. Also the VP of engineering at Stack Exchange. But mostly a guy with a PowerGlove.

I was so close :O

Lasse

what is a powerglove

I found only this

Power Glove

The Power Glove is a controller accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The Power Glove was not popular and was criticized for its imprecise and difficult-to-use controls. Development The Power Glove was originally released in 1989. Though it was an officially licensed product, Nintendo was not involved in the design or release of this accessory. Rather, it was designed by Grant Goddard and Samuel Cooper Davis for Abrams Gentile Entertainment (AGE), made by Mattel in the United States who had made a failed attempt at a similar design for Nintendo earlier. Mattel brought in H...

Aidan Mueller

@Lasse I believe the power glove is just something that most people see as a thingy that lets you punch stuff hard and has all sorts of batman-utility belt stuff on it and is attached to your arm.

Alex M.

10:06 PM

like a mobile phone?

Aidan Mueller

OK. I need to edit XD

Lasse

ah, something like that

Aidan Mueller

Kind of like a hoverboard: exactly what it sounds like.

Lasse

it sounds like broken bones

Aidan Mueller

Like the power glove in tekkit, really.

There is a power glove oven mitt on indiegogo.

A: Just found out my 13 year old girl is Bi and dating a 17 year old girl in an "open" relationship. Huh? Now what?

17 is way too old for a 13 year old to be dating, and 13 is far to young for a 17 year old - the rule of thumb is: min_age = (your_age / 2) + 7 where your_age > min_age so for a 17yo that's 8.5 + 7 = 15.5. Reversing the formula for a 13yo gives a smaller result (<13), so max_age for 13 is 13....

lol

Aidan Mueller

@Lasse I guess like this:

Lasse

yeah I got the idea

Aidan Mueller

@AlexM. Uhh? Okay......

Confused a bit on that formula.

Lasse

as an engineer I approve the formula

though I want some tweakable parameters I can use for my own preferences

someone should write a c++ function as a comment for that

My Nephew is doing 5th standard schooling and is a 10 year old boy. He is normally doesn't do too much, mostly playing video games and watching movies. He's education progress is also good. Yesterday, I heard about his embarrassing behavior from my sister and she really worried about it. When I...
