THE NEW Miscellaneous Talk That Doesn't Deserve A New Thread Thread Thread (Part 1)

Akshuaaaalllyyyyyyyyy, I once made a Private Meme thread, but when @hhyyrylainen was invited, it was closed and he confirmed that rules also apply to DMs.

By the way, hhyyrylainen, got a question about C# programming.

Does implicit casting demand less power than explicit casting?

Also, does creating or calling an object demand more power than just creating or calling a function just as in C++ (where you don’t always have to rely on OOP)?

I’ve been in their server for about a year now according to my memory, however the developer has been radio silent in there and I don’t think they’ve posted anything on their channel for the past few years as well so unfortunately the game may or may not be dead now

Off topic question but since I don’t want to double post here:
Should I still include the Thrive Game Italia themes in my Chronological Thrive theme playlist? It’s not a official playlist at all and it was made for documenting purposes but it just feels wrong knowing that most if not all the themes made in the channel were probably stolen from another person.

I guess I’ll just remove them from my playlist in that case

I don’t actually know. But I much prefer implicit casting whenever it can be used, to reduce the amount of code someone who later reads the code needs to read.

Probably, but then again memory managed languages are optimized to create a lot of short living objects that are very quickly garbage collected. Many abstractions in programming actually cost performance, but how much clarity they add to designs is considered worth it basically everywhere except embedded programming.

Also the usual advice is to measure first to see if you even need to improve the performance and the second reason is that often the performance bottleneck is not where you expect so profiling points you to the slow code that you should be looking at.

If I remember right, it might be the Thrive Game Italia channel that had the stolen music on it. At least one Thrive music person just stole music, but I can’t 100% remember who it was.

If I remember correctly it was someone who was revealed to have been plagiarizing work from other musicians and then was kicked from the project
Edit: I’m pretty sure I remember who it was but I’m not going to say his name since I don’t think I should

I saw the notification from when you first posted, and after seeing that name, I’m more certain that that was the problematic musician and Thrive Game Italia’s problem was just that they disappeared a long time ago before their music could get accepted.

Also are you sure it’s not because you are essentially creating a private thread for memes that only a certain few of people can see?

This is exactly it. As a bonus memes uploaded to the forums take up a ton more space than even like a hundred normal messages.

May I ask how big the forum is (data wise)? 1TB?

It’s nowhere near that large, about a few gigabytes + all the uploads are a few gigabytes in total. But all of that storage permanently costs money each month based on the total amount of data + backups.

My bad.

What’s embedded programming?

When you write code that directly runs on microcontrollers. You often don’t even have an operating system. So literally the only thing running on that processor is the code you compiled and uploaded to it. Arduino is a popular development platform for embedded stuff.

I am stuck on the bridge between death and life. I want to return to the cold of the void, yet I long for the warmth of the light.

What happened to your profile picture?

wrong thread?

Oof. I’m dumb. Sorry about that, all.

The image size is 0 bytes for some reason. Even clearing CDN cache or loading it directly from this website, still doesn’t work. The image file just seems broken. I think this was the case also last time RoboRomb posted. I’ve been waiting for them to upload a new avatar to see if that would then work correctly.

to me it even show the broken file icon

Strange as I’ve seen his true pfp in @PositiveTower’s reply. Looks like some kind of boy with a hoodie. Drawn on a paper.

Different sizes for the avatars are actually different files. So seeing the small avatar icon working has no relation to the full size one not working.
