@murgatroid99 this is why i dislike try catches. too many times i see people use them to work around errors. ie. Java XML a try catch where the programmer assumes an Element Object but when it's not they have the try catch worked it back into an element
 
@fredley excellent work
@fredley how did I never see this one
 
6:31 AM
@Memor-X I do use try/catch in my own code, but I try to always make it about either reporting the same error information in a different form, or automatically handling very specific failures.
 
@badp '15 was a good year

@Memor-X try catches have a lot of uses. It’s just when they are used wrong they cause a lot of problems.
 
Silent catch blocks are the dangerous thing. There are sometimes reasons to use them, but in most cases they're big mistakes and you'll regret it
 
@MadScientist I would agree. Probably like 99% of the time a silent catch is bad. At the very least it should be logging something
 
@Dragonrage even if it's logging, this will still get you if you don't know or don't remember that it is there. I'm speaking from experience here ;-)
This is especially annoying in JS, where you can't easily catch specific exceptions only
 
8:19 AM
@Dragonrage I just had a case where I did need a silent try/catch block. I had a single threaded function where i need to do an exponential backoff in case of failure. Easiest way to implement this is through a sleep(), but you need to catch an interruptedException then, which considering it's single threaded most likely won't happen

Q: Grounded on Xbox with keyboard

KerkI just saw this cool game came out recently and thinking of buying it for Xbox One, but I would prefer playing it with keyboard and mouse not with controller, but I don't know if it works with it. So I want to know if it works good with keyboard as well on Xbox One too. Thanks in advance.

Q: Can the Cow King's Set only drop in the Secret Cow Level?

Paul ErlenmeyerI'm looking to find my first Cow King's Set Item yet. According to Silospen Drop Calculator the set pieces can drop pretty much anywhere. I have already dropped super rare items like f.e. 'Griffon's Eye' or 'Immortal King's Soul Cage' but haven't found a single set piece from the Cow King's set. ...

Q: If you buy a gamepass from a group game, will it go to the owner of the group, or straight into the group funds?

AnthonyIf you buy a gamepass from a group game, will it go to the owner of the group, or straight into the group funds. I am the owner of the group and group game, so if I wanted to buy a gamepass for 100 robux, would 70 go back to me or into the group? I don't want to waste 30 robux! I did my best to r...

Q: Can I play my physical PS4 games on the PS5 digital edition?

MeanGreenThe PS5 will likely feature two different versions: with a disc drive and without. According to rumors (screenshot of leaked prices in a French store) the version without the disc drive will be cheaper. I wonder if I can keep playing my PS4 physical games on a PS5 without a disc drive.

1:40 PM
spent today uploading a single file. at work over wireless it takes about 15 minutes to upload about 5GB. here at home over wireless for the same appropriately same size file it's taken 12 hours and i still have 1 and 1/2 hours left. that is one hell of a difference between work and home
 
@Memor-X The internet is the same bandwidth at both places?
 
@Frank not entirely sure what you mean there. you mean how the wireless works?
 
@Memor-X I'm assuming your internet is through a local modem or something at home.
And the ISP bandwidth is the same at both places.
And assuming wireless = wifi
 
@Frank yeh, i assume work uses like a mesh network to cover the entire building but i have no idea where the routers are there and i know work uses the same ISP as what we have here at home, though not sure of what plan they use, we've had the same plan for like 8, 10 years? (though my mum will say we've had it longer because we never changed it when i got out of uni)
 
@Memor-X A mesh network can really help with stuff like that, yeah.
Something you can do with domestic grade routers is to move the device closer to it.
Read an article a while back that explained why wifi lags so bad with multiple devices.
 
1:53 PM
@Frank yeh i notice a slow down at home with downloads when my brother comes in and connects his phone and starts using my mum's laptop. but at the moment my laptop is the only thing on the network
 
It's something to do with duplexing; it's a one way communication, so anything that weakens the signal makes it slower.

Q: Why is Steam telling me to buy a game I've already purchased?

BradyAwhile back I bought Skyrim for my PC, and the other day when I pressed "Play" in Steam, it sent me to the page to buy it, and when I tried going to the button to see what happens if I buy it again, it says I already own the game.

Q: Why won't my Destruction skill go up?

A Concerned DragonbornI just made my Destruction skill legendary and entered Redwater Den to find telekinesis, and upon killing several vampires with Lightning Storm, I noticed that Destruction had ZERO progress toward 16. Is this a bug? Or does it just take longer to level up a skill after you've made it Legendary?

 
Ray tracing looks great but it literally cuts my framerate in half in Control

Q: Can’t find more small keys in key cavern (Links Awakening Remake)

BraydemI’ve been searching for keys in the 3rd dungeon of Links Awakening Remake, I can’t seem to find it! Can’t find any secret rooms and secret keys either, making me stuck and unable to progress, I looked EVERYWHERE! But still can’t find any secret rooms or a secret small key needed to get to the sta...

 
according to PCGamer benchmarks, it can easily double your framerate without real fidelity loss
 
@nzall went from 30-40 to pretty consistent 60! thanks
hmm something went wrong for a second after I changed the settings lol
the ceiling had a weird layer of purple on it
oh it's what happens if the render resolution is the same as the display with DLSS on...?
which is not supposed to happen
 
7:13 PM
@Stormblessed yeah, you're supposed to have a lower DLSS resolution than your game resolution
the Nvidia AI will upscale the resolution with remarkably little loss
 
7:28 PM
Just took on a two-man sloop by myself
Killed their crew twice, but I ran out of cannonballs and didn't manage to sink their ship :(
Killed one with the cannon barrage, finished off the other with a shot from my rifle
Then they respawned and sank my ship, so I hid in the water behind my dinghy til they got closer, then swam underwater towards them
One of them jumped off to swim over to the rowboat and was very surprised to find me still alive
Shot him in the water, landed a shot on his crewmate on the boat, then boarded the ship and finished him off with my cutlass
But then I realized I didn't know how to sink their ship from onboard and they respawned and killed me :(
