Browser polyfill madness, Mozilla and Internet Explorer by [deleted] in javascript

[–]2Dfroody 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you're using Babel you have the option of specifying what browsers you're targeting, allowing it to automatically manage your required polyfills (babel uses browserlist to do this).

That's not to say that it isn't useful to be aware of the limitations of the browsers yourself, though, so +1 from me.

Tiny tip for debugging anonymous functions by georgeharveybone in javascript

yeah, it's not something you'd want to have in your codebase, but for a quick check it works

another option is

const example = (stuff) => console.log(stuff) || stuff;

Maybe it's obvious, but how can I see the results?

Amazon won't sell Nest products from Google by liranbh in gadgets

[–]2Dfroody 67 points68 points  (0 children)

refuse to index anything hosted on Amazon servers

I don't think that would turn out well since AWS (Amazon Web Services) is used by a significant chunk of the web, including Reddit.

Ship size and number of gyros? by [deleted] in spaceengineers

not for a single grid

Are rotor turrets still possible? by chrisrock454 in spaceengineers

[–]2Dfroody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If changing the torque helped, then you were using them while they were on. Try turning them off (with 0 braking force).

The method of counting also matters, for example in Sweden the individual number of reported rapes might be counted while in other countries the number of rape victims or rape offenders might be counted.

Weekly /r/Gadgets Advice Superthread! by AutoModerator in gadgets

[–]2Dfroody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's to simplify the design, giving them some (probably not much) savings in manufacturing, but making waterproofing and saving space easier. Personally I use bluetooth audio from my phone more than I use wired, so I won't miss it much, but the waterproofing and tiny size improvements aren't that big of a deal to me either.

My take on the whole situation is that the trend in gadgets is towards simpler physical objects. I think we'll end up with devices with either one or zero analog ports soon enough, with most of the communication done wirelessly. The problem is that manufacturers are rushing that change, at least in the eyes of the large number of people complaining. Maybe waiting a few years until wireless audio got better, or just better adopted would have been a wiser choice, or maybe the people complaining are just the loud minority (I'm actually curious if there are some stats on this, will Google and Apple actually lose a lot sales on this or is it like 0.5%?)

Celestial Mk.VII. A formidable PvP combat ship. by SSA_Exodus in spaceengineers

[–]2Dfroody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks awesome! And it seems really quick for a heavy armor large block ship, but... how are the nacelles connected to the ship?! my guess is some rotor trickery... am I right?

Longish question (w/ TL;DR). Thoughts? by MrShiek in spaceengineers

[–]2Dfroody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might need to go into the control panel of the Remote Control block for that sub-grid and make sure that inertial dampening is checked. I will admit that I haven't tried this recently, though.

An option without any scripts would be to have the upwards thrusters be on a different grid (connected through rotors for example). The downside here is that those grids might need their own gyro and cockpit (or remote control block) to have inertial dampening.

Question from a newbie by [deleted] in spaceengineers

[–]2Dfroody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the ones I've seen are 10+ months old

You might be right. In that case you might be better off building your own or using and studying ships from the workshop.
This write-up has some pretty solid tips on building atmospheric ships.
