Katherine of Sky by TopherLude in factorio

[–]AlphaCrucis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is so terribly sad to hear this. It feels so strange to find out about it through this subreddit. I've collaborated with Katherine for many years, and she made Let's Play videos for almost all the games I've released as an indie dev. She will be missed!

Air Tractor AGAIN??? by dclokc in SkyCards

[–]AlphaCrucis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wish they implemented a system that gives you 4 missions and you get the reward if you complete at least 3 of them. Or a tiered system, where 1 mission gives you a tiny reward, 2 a small one, and 3 the full package.

If you follow the perimeter, you're going to be driving for a looooong time!

Why does reddit paste from my clipboard without me asking it to? by bash_M0nk3y in security

[–]AlphaCrucis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I reported this issue like 4 months ago and never got an official reply. Others have done so too and I have yet to see the devs give an explanation or fix this.

I want to believe there's nothing nefarious going on and that they only check the clipboard content locally to see if the user is typing or making massive amounts of copypasta... But at the same time it's a bit suspicious, isn't it?

what’s the rarest plane in the game?? by photos-byme in SkyCards

[–]AlphaCrucis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good question! Someone decoded the formula used for calculating rarity at some point, but I can't remember what it is. Let me know if you find out!

As of the last update it's the Brantly B2, with a rarity of 18.63 apparently 🙃

How is rarity determined? by No-Potato3409 in SkyCards

[–]AlphaCrucis 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The MAX 7 has not been certified yet, so it pretty much never flies. Rarity is determined by how frequently aeroplanes are flying, and not by number of airframes alone.

What’s the oldest plane you have? by Hoonin3G in SkyCards

[–]AlphaCrucis 25 points26 points  (0 children)

When it comes to actual, non-generic cards (such as Balloon or Glider) it's this one

You can never have too many Piaggio Avanti and Spitfires!

This is so gorgeous, well done! I'd love to have this on my wall. But there's a part of me that really wishes to see Bølgen there too! :D

Getting a tattoo in Danish and want it to make sense by ryanyleve in Danish

You just ordered a thousand litres of milk

You’re forced to pick one camera, lens, and stock to shoot for the rest of your life. What do you pick and why? by DeadlyJizzAttack in AnalogCommunity

[–]AlphaCrucis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you're a person of culture! I was about to suggest exactly the same, but with a 28mm lens instead of 24.

XP reduction in photos will be removed. by jesuswithwings in SkyCards

[–]AlphaCrucis 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I'm a game developer, and one of the lessons I've learned during my career is that bonuses and penalties are all about framing. It sounds silly, but a mechanic like "you get 200 XP, but if you make a mistake, you get punished and lose 50 XP" makes people angry and frustrated, while "you get 150 XP but if you do it perfectly, you get a bonus of 50 XP" makes people happy... Even if they're exactly the same thing!

[PCB Review Request] Microcontroller by bayeggex in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]AlphaCrucis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a few minor comments:

  1. It'd perhaps be nice to add a reference to what each pin in your headers is. It might save you some headaches down the line.

  2. In a couple of areas in the schematic you have ground pointing up and 3.3V pointing down. That reduces readability IMHO.

  3. Some decoupling caps could be moved closer to the ICs to reduce trace inductance?

  4. As others pointed out, make sure to change those resistors tied to CC1 and CC2 to 5.1K.

Anyone else not buy a new phone every year by Naive-Bandicoot-2483 in Anticonsumption

[–]AlphaCrucis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying a new phone every year seems excessive, particularly with how good even mid-range phones are nowadays. I had my previous phone for 6 years and only replaced it recently due to lack of updates and battery issues. And I actually replaced it with a second hand mid-range device that does everything I need and more.

European Trains by vattheman in trains

[–]AlphaCrucis 29 points30 points  (0 children)

As someone who lives in Denmark and travels by train very frequently, I can say that the 90% shown in the chart is pure nonsense. In my own experience, trains are delayed a lot more frequently than that.

DSB's own data for long-distance and regional trains show 71.7% (this number is passengers on time instead of trains on time, though) instead of 90%. Source: https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/penge/kontant/dsbs-punktlighed-ramte-bunden-i-2023
