07:58:57 <peter1138> x23:04 < TrueBrain> now if Cloudflare R2 drops .. we can move our CDN to there
08:00:11 <peter1138> Heh, I remember the days when we ran random mirrors... and the one I had accounted for most of my employer's traffic at one point.
08:24:42 <NGC3982> i really admire you guys

09:37:39 <FLHerne> I edited my comment to make it a bit clearer
09:40:01 <FLHerne> If area-drag is removed and not hidden behind ctrl, ctrl-drag will still work and no-one will complain
09:40:12 <FLHerne> except the people who use area-drag
09:44:16 <LordAro> FLHerne: careful on those absolute statements ;)
09:45:01 <FLHerne> I like absolute statements, they make everything much clearer :p
10:06:20 <Eddi|zuHause> who ordered this weather?
10:19:05 <dP> my thought to leave "covered area" just in case and judge by the feedback whether it can be removed later
10:19:15 <dP> it's not like there is a better use of ctrl atm
10:22:56 <Eddi|zuHause> i kinda lean towards FLHerne on that argument
10:23:35 <Eddi|zuHause> better to just change the non-ctrl behaviour, and leave the ctrl-behaviour intact for people who already got used to it
10:28:00 <FLHerne> dP: The thing is that keeping it isn't a free "just in case" because switching it to ctrl breaks everyone's existing habit of using ctrl
10:28:58 <FLHerne> so it's a tradeoff between breaking something that 95% of players use all the time, vs. removing an obscure and rarely-used feature
10:29:20 <FLHerne> maybe not 95%, a surprising number of players seem to not get signals :p
10:29:26 <dP> safest option would be to make a setting and possibly remove it in the future depending on the feedback
10:30:05 <Eddi|zuHause> FLHerne: i'd say 5% is already an incredibly high number for a "hidden" ctrl-feature... more like 0.5%
10:30:12 <FLHerne> default full-drag-only, alternate as-before?
10:30:15 <Timberwolf> I'm one of those annoying people who does use the non-ctrl version of signal drag every once in a while.
10:30:29 <FLHerne> Timberwolf: what for?
10:31:20 <dP> FLHerne, as before, invert ctrl, autofill only
10:31:26 <Timberwolf> Sections where I want a short bit of increased density, or where I'm doing things with multiple types of signal.
10:31:46 <Timberwolf> It's not common, more of an occasional thing.
10:32:42 <Eddi|zuHause> the question at this point should be: is there actually any pressure on modifying this code at all?
10:33:35 <FLHerne> I've seen a handful of new-ish players who didn't know about the ctrl behaviour
10:33:58 <Eddi|zuHause> that's to be expected, yes
10:34:16 <FLHerne> If there's a willingness to change the UI to make it more beginner-friendly, this seems like a reasonable example
10:34:41 <FLHerne> it can't upset more people than hiding block signals :p
10:38:41 <Eddi|zuHause> presumably there'd be a lot of overlap between the two people groups :p
10:41:58 <Timberwolf> I'd be fine with the default flipping, muscle memory aside.

11:25:57 <andythenorth> also what is 'workflow'
11:26:08 <andythenorth> people always banging on about it in a mac forum I read
11:26:13 <andythenorth> 'this breaks workflow'
11:26:25 <andythenorth> 'if only Apple understood the workflow of true pros' etc
11:26:30 <andythenorth> I don't have a workflow
11:37:19 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai
11:44:11 *** tokai|noir has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
11:50:35 <Eddi|zuHause> there's two separate questions in there: "should you have a workflow", and "should you be able to write your workflow down"
11:51:48 <Eddi|zuHause> on the first question: anything you do more than 3 times probably automatically forms a workflow
11:52:24 <Eddi|zuHause> on the second question: only if you need to coordinate other people
11:56:55 <Timberwolf> My in-game workflow seems to infuriate some very vocal people.
11:58:07 <FLHerne> Not enough magic hotkeys?
12:01:03 <Timberwolf> Mainly the subset of players who like everything to be Big Design Up Front, and to go straight in with stations and junctions that can handle some theoretical maximum throughput.
12:06:40 <Eddi|zuHause> when i came here, whatever the coop people were doing, i was doing the opposite :p
12:11:51 <Timberwolf> IMO some of the PSG games aren't what currently gets called "coop style"
12:12:40 <Timberwolf> The ones I've looked at have pretty simple sidelines, and the hubs are evolved over time according to where traffic is flowing.
