In future, it's better to leave 2 for more signal info

@Adám it's a general logic error

An off by one from using greater than equal instead of plain greater than

If I had a penny for every off by one error I'd have one too few pennies to buy anything useful

Is there a quick algorithm for adding two NDos numerals?

The algorithm I came up relies on subtraction, so

@ATaco that's why you want to use the --> operator ;-)

Q: Visually arrange multi-day events on a calendar

The arrangement algorithm I think I've determined the algorithm that Google Calendar uses to visually arrange day-long and longer events at the top of the "Week" view (you may have an example here) and it seems to be: Sort all events by starting date (earlier first); if same starting date, sort ...

@lyxal oh, i thought the mistake was i >= 0 is always true because i is an uint

lyxal

I mean, that's probably actually more likely

@ATaco is it the off by 1 error or the uint always being > 0 infinite loop?

Added a basic pistol to my game and a recoil animation and it's so satisfying

@RydwolfPrograms A lot of these things are fixed now at least. We got git switch instead of checkout. You can configure git to use ff-only.

@RydwolfPrograms @TheEmptyStringPhotographer This is why git isn't good

Rydwolf Programs

Like it's fun just to run around and hide in the trees and peek around crates and shoot a non-functioning pistol so that's a promising sign the actual game will be fun lol

Just added a feature where holding shift makes you crouch. It makes your hitbox (for bullets/damage, not object collisions) 20% smaller, and halves your speed

@RydwolfPrograms the animation is so nice

git -h branch seems to open a pager while git branch -h and git branch --help do not. Odd

On the other hand, running git -h branch for me gives: unknown option: -h and the usage info.

What's your git version?

Petəíŕd The Spring Wizard

> git version 2.34.1

mousetail

I have 2.44. I built it from source because I need the auto remote

Petəíŕd The Spring Wizard

As far as I remember, it came pre-installed on my Linux Mint (and I installed it on December 2, 2022)

mousetail

For some reason git versions take a very long time to get added to the package repositories

I remember it being really difficult to make nice looking bullet trails, gonna try that now

I think they look pretty good

Okay USB power delivery is so cool...the fact I can charge my laptop with my phone charger is so futuristic

@mousetail For me (Git Bash and git version 2.44.0.windows.1), git -h branch and git branch --help open a help page in Chrome, while git branch -h prints a usage message on the command-line. o_o

Q: Tree with red |A| painted on trunk

I saw some trees with red A’s painted on the trunks, with vertical lines (or 1’s) painted on each side of the A. Location: Crown land in eastern Ontario. What do those markings mean?
