Trying to. I improved performance alot. Went from about 13 fps to 23 fps. Removed a few extra cameras, that, although helped with a cool visual effect, were not essential
They were generating a huge bottleneck perse in rendering.
@AlexandreVaillancourt outside of that, i am trying to get my ideas and head together, and add a new equipment tier.
@TomTsagk They are not. That's the problem. Besides the problem of being unenforceable.
@AlexandreVaillancourt Funny you say that. You are allowed to forget and use the wrong one again. Since you're a smurf you get to decide who forgot and who misgendered. Fun :D
@nwp I guess because she would not be able to enforce the CoC, and she would not ban herself... now the banning of the user will be the job of another mod.
@TomTsagk That's a grey zone. If that's your usual writing style it's fine. If you do it to avoid weird pronouns it's a bannable offense. Good luck having moderators figure out which one applies in which case.
@nwp It's my usual writing style to strangers on the internet :P Like even my avatar is a cartoon picture, I don't expect people to know my gender, or any more details about me
@AlexandreVaillancourt Is it really? Nobody has shared anything like that. I only see people saying that in their whole life they had not once had a situation where someone cared about their pronoun. Especially not on SE.
@nwp I will admit I've heard stories of people (in real life) getting really offended when someone uses the wrong pronoun, but I've met plenty of people from all sorts of life, and I've never met anyone like that
@nwp I don't know; I live in gamedev's cave and I have not witnessed that here, and I have not seen examples of what occurs elsewhere. I only know that being purposefully misgendered is not nice and they try to address that.
I'm not active enough here to comment on GDSE, but I have seen it across the network. The thing is that it wasn't very common but it was hurtful. However, by addressing it (especially by how heavy-handed it was addressed) the pushback has been far more nasty than the actual problem ever was.
@bruglesco it was definitly handled poorly. But people who don't want to use peoples gender pronouns will always be a thing so it will always be reacted to badly
@Elva Unfortunately by handling Monica the way they did SE sent the message that maybe mistakes will be handled harshly. I don't blame people for not believing that honest mistakes are safe
@Elva So much fear, uncertainty and doubt was caused. People have no clue if not caring about people and concentrating on Q&A is acceptable anymore. Nobody knows how the rulings will go. It's just arbitrary "maybe we'll ban you" all around.
@nwp Yeah, but I don't think this was caused by the content of the changes to CoC. This is related to the handling of Monica's case, which, I agree, was very bad.
"You must use people's pronouns, otherwise you get banned. But only when they use official pronouns, but we don't tell you which ones are official. Also you are allowed to forget, but you are not allowed to disengage because of pronoun issues." Even trying to write a summary makes it very confusing.
That's the old "be nice" policy. That has been replaced by this new abomination which no longer assumes good intent and instead enforces grammar rules on the sites.
You can probably get away with not being a jerk. Until some troll gets you banned for removing fluff that happens to contain a gender pronoun. Those are not allowed to be removed anymore by the way.
Or alternatively, it was noticed that a mere "be nice" isn't enough because bigots will refuse to accept non-binary or trans people and they needed to spell it out
@nwp They asked that you don't remove it yet. While they educated people how to express their gender appropriately. I got the impression that that is not a permanent request
The most reasonable approach in my opinion is to say that people don't matter and if you happen do be a black jewish trans dog then nobody cares. It's sad that SE didn't go that route.
Honestly, I don't understand why gender is so important when speaking to complete strangers. Why can't we all use gender-neutral language and focus on actually helping others?
@bruglesco That's my premise for focusing more on process (how mistakes & bad intentions handled & determining the distinctions between them) than on a list of rules (thou shalt do this and not that)
@trollingchar It's not about addressing, it's about talking about you. "trollingcha said X. He/she/it/xe/they/... meant it as a joke." Using "you" in that place really screws with the meaning of the sentence.
@TomTsagk Just write as before, and if a user asks you to "please address me as 'him/he' instead of 'they'", then use that pronoun in the future with that user; that's all :)
@TomTsagk Yes, unfortunately. The changes to the CoC are there to spell out rules for those who are unaware that it's a thing, and for those who are dumbasses, and "justifications" for consequences to apply to dumbasses. It does not affect most users.
That almost sounds like an accusation. As stated above I'm too lazy to troll and my profile still doesn't state "attack helicopter" as my preferred pronoun.
@nwp I'm sorry, didn't mean to say that you specifically are a troll. Just that some of the people causing the drama are trolls only in it for causing drama
I kinda like "yo" from the list of pronouns as an analogue to "you". Just gotta go through the pain of forcing a couple of generations to change their language and then it might be less of a problem.
I don't know. It feels like good people are seriously concerned about it and consider no longer contributing. If it was only trolls it would be fine.
@trollingchar "Yo" would be a replacement for "he/she/they", not for "you". It's weird because we are not used to it, but would probably ultimately be better.
Sometimes, people are nearly ready to move on (because of some external factors), and an event causes them to actually move on. So the proportions of people quitting just because of that situation might not be that big, IMHO.
I don't think people quit just because of one thing. It's always multiple things. But SE itself has delivered multiple things in a short time. Eventually it's critcal mass.
So i'm trying to get the smallest number in an array. The user has to enter the number of elements. so the highest number of elements that i want is 10.
I tried writing if condition but i don't think i'm doing it right
int main(){
int x, e;
int arr[10];
cout<< "Enter nu...

No, but it interacts with some posts based on the votes. If they are fiddling with the vote counts, does Community♦ use the count as seen or the actual, unmodified values?
It's not a big deal I suppose. I forget the system Community♦ uses & have to look it up whenever I get curious about it.
Does the test extend to GDSE? I've come to assume these things are usually restricted to SO where they get enough traffic to produce statistically meaningful data...
Also, recent debates have renewed by envy of Community♦'s profile.
