  • What should they do about it if it actually runs great on their systems though?

    A lot of games only play well if you take some time figuring out a certain combination of graphics settings for your own computer. Then there is bugs and stutters that really is only happening with certain settings. Particularly these days with the four common upscaling models, you never know which games are best optimized for which model, but none of them are optimized for running without upscaling.

    So for a regular reviewer to really give a game a fair score, should they run at the default settings? Would be unfair to expect them to know how every weird setting impacts the game. Should they try the game at 4+ different systems to make sure there are no performance issues and stutters dragging it down in certain cases? Leaving performance testing to dedicated performance reviewers and just focus on reviewing the game itself might be the best option.

  • Its doing pretty well when its doing a few words at a time under supervision. Also it does it better than newbies.

    Now if only those people below newbies, those who don’t even bother to learn, didn’t hope to use it to underpay average professionals… And if it wasn’t trained on copyrighted data. And didn’t take up already limited resources like power and water.

  • The way I see it, explaining others also helps me understand it better. If its so basic (or too advanced) that I get nothing out of explaining, then I leave it to better suited people to help them instead. Being on these kindsa forums, its supposed to be enjoyable for both the teacher and the student. I don’t see any shame in dropping it as soon as it turns frustrating.

  • Zeal got Net Framework. The download for it is huge. And not particularly good. Lot of just class definitions with no guidance. DevDocs has a request/voting thingy (somewhere, I dont remember where, just that I’ve seen it) which documentation we want them to include next.

    All these docs, both devdocs and zeal, is auto-generated from existing and publicly available docs. The doc apps only advantage is a single source and faster and easier search.

  • My doc is also googling stuff very often.

    Probably not bad. If I could have memorized the entire dotnet framework documentation, I would. Until then I will keep googling, and I will usually recognize if the solution is sound. Probably the same with doctors and health.
