1:35 AM
Overwhelmingly the room seems pro-union (and is understandably tense/passionate on the topic). But this discussion has not seemed at all helpful in walking through steps that would begin that process. The question about whether or not they're needed feels very obviously answered
lol get rekt the industry and your roundtable
 
1:57 AM
Wrong room?
 
As long as the games industry is considered on topic here, I'm going to say no
 
oh, I didn't realize the context was a game industry thing
 
Yeah, it's a GDC roundtable

2:42 AM
 
today i learned that in Javascript i can't use for(i = 0; i < array.length; i += 1) in 2 functions if one calls the other because the value of i is preserved
which seems odd since i thought a locally scoped variable like i would exists independent in 2 functions
 
2:59 AM
@Memor-X var i = 0 instead
 
@GodEmperorDune oh hey it worked
i guess without var variables do weird things?
 
without var you are not declaring a new variable
you are reusing any i in scope
 
oh
 
3:31 AM
Which actually means that if the name you use happens to be used in a global scope, you might be using that global
 
You should really use let though
if you can use ES6
 
Right, most modern browsers and other JS interpreters have ES6 support
 
or just use babel. it's ok as long as you do it Reluctantly
I assume babel just wraps it in an IIFE though
(dunno actually)
 
Or just compile conflicting variables to different names in different lexical scopes
 
that would assume that there isn't un-Babelfied code in the page that refers to the unmangled names
 
3:40 AM
How are you going to compile only part of the code within a single lexical context?

Q: How to get my old coc account back using play games

YonathanI've been playing coc for a long time and i connected it to play games. One day i accedentaly uninstalled it, so how do i get it back using play games. Please help me

 
To be clear, what I mean specifically is that I would compile function() { let x = 1; if (y) {let x = 2; }} to function() { var x_0 = 1; if (y) { var x_1 = 2; }}
You have to be careful of conflicts with other explicit var declarations within the same function scope, but those names won't escape that function scope anyway so it doesn't matter how you mangle them
 
4:50 AM
@Chippies so just double checking, if i download this i get Episode 1 and 2 and if i uninstall this they stay on my library and i can get the other episodes later, right?

Q: Disasters and no maintenance techs

If it helps, don't think of is as your 30th birthday. It's just a 24 hour break between your 10,927th unbirthday and your 10,928th unbirthday.
 
@Memor-X from what I saw, it seems like it gives you Episode 2, but not Episode 1, which is odd, so maybe I'm wrong. You don't even have to actually download it, just click on install game and it will ask you where to download/install it and you can just cancel then, because it is already added to your library forever

Most games I've played just come down to who has less feeders. The ones I've played (in order) are: dota, league of legen...

@Lazers2.0 they would but then you'd join it and you obviously can't read FAQs

It could be worse, you could be legitimately old, like me as a 24 now
wait
 
@Uni is being @Wrong again
 
no I was doing a thing where I say 24 is old to make 30 feel dinosaur
 
@Unionhawk Young whippersnapper.
 
@Unionhawk I know, and I'm saying that 24 is not old
 
@KevinvanderVelden I mean said the probably thousand year old dragon

I don't know which is why I'm just planning on having an extended midlife crisis
 
@Ronan I thought for a second that already had 24 stars
@Unionhawk a midlife crisis lasting forever

@KevinvanderVelden I'm very popular

now it has 224 stars
also holy heck nitw wr is now sub 2 game time

It's all your fault for getting a competitive time on it
 
eh
I still have my third place
that should hold I think
 
Clearly you need to try harder

resharper in my software center queue
@ASCII-only I don't think it's posted yet
I just saw the splits screenshot in discord
 
@Unionhawk Resharper is a bloody requirement for coding in Visual Studio.
 
@Arperum they finally gave me a license lol
 
@Arperum Lies
 
2017 isn't bad
there are some good extensions
 
1:08 PM
@Arperum :| but it's expensive
@Arperum uninstalling VS is a requirement for coding in VS
 
@ASCII-only get your company to get it for you.
 
Clearly Rider is way better
 
NOT IF YOU GET THE COMPANY TO PAY FOR IT
they already pay for an enterprise license for me that I don't need
which is like, thousands of dollars
 
@Arperum >_> i'm still at uni (i.e. not working yet)
 
JetBrains has a good education license program
You can get all of their products free with a verified university email
1 year licenses, but I think they'll renew them as long as that email remains valid
 
1:12 PM
applies that was quick
 
I lost my education license since I'm not that so :(
 
but if I have access to Rider shouldn't I just get Rider instead then
 
idk I just used my license for PyCharm
 
@Arperum What does Resharper do?
 
@MBraedley Mostly loads of convient hotkeys + better/faster search through solution. or that's the bit I've used most of it.
 
1:21 PM
It's some quality of life stuff, ctrl+click on an identifier does some stuff, there's some better refactoring tools,
 
That too.
 
The important thing is the company is giving me these things
which I think means I can install these things at home
 
ctrl + click is so bloody convenient.
 
I have the productivity power tools extension, but I don't like how they implemented it
they implemented it as a peek
 
@MBraedley IIRC what I used the most was refactoring/live code checking things/formatting
 
1:22 PM
Just looked at the C++ version. Looks like it does a lot of things that Visual Assist does.
 
@Unionhawk Yea, i've seen that with coworkers who have both, and it always annoys me.
 
And then some
 
> whole tomato software
 
ctrl +shift+n is very convenient to find files, especially the part where it will allow for search things like "gametest" and that will also find "GameDevTest, GateMediumTest"
And once you got your file, ctrl+shift + L to select in in the solution explorer.
or finding functions based on the function name. Even if you don't even know what file they are in.
 
:| does resharper not support C#7.2
 
1:35 PM
@ASCII-only Does support C#, but maybe not 7.2
 
@MBraedley <_< >_> of course R# supports C#
apparently no C#7.2 support yet though, rip

I am. Looks much nicer than it did on PS4.
 
Are you playing with KB+M or a controller? I've got the game on PS4 but I really dislike controllers but then again I hate bad ports (Darksouls1...)
 
@Jutschge You might want to stay away from Sea of Thieves until they do a bit of cleaning then.
And maybe fix up the dry docks.
 
@Yuuki That's the pirate sandbox thing right? Are there mostly problems with the PC controls or is it a shit port in general?
 
Playing it on controller. It's more or less designed for it.

@Jutschge Neither, I'm making a pun.

Q: Game design: why do so many PVP FPS implement respawn by design?

Mathias ConradtI'm a fan of tactical and stealth games, especially the Ubisoft Tom Clancy series including Rainbox Six Siege, Ghost Recon Wildlands, etc. With those, I like both the single player campaign as well as the PvP mode. It's tactical, and mainly because you don't endlessly respawn automatically. I al...

like, it could have been a book. it isn't getting a free pass on plot because it's a game. and conversely it being a game instead does actually improve the experience, it isn't just a small game tacked onto the story
