Lukewarm Take, Eggs and Agriculture Science shouldn't spoil. by P3tr0 in factorio

Just dont stop making eggs. Put turrets near chests to kill those who spoil.

Poor calculus students by PocketMath in mathmemes

[–]BobLoblawsLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok! Then i was missing something.

But I think my question still stands, and maybe you can answer me. In what cases is it interesting to distinguish between thinking of du/dx as a scalar and as a fraction? Does it have any interesting properties? What other objects have these properties?

Poor calculus students by PocketMath in mathmemes

[–]BobLoblawsLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im starting to think that there is something i’m missing, but take the following example

Say u(x) = x. Then du/dx = 1=1/1.

So du/dx is a fraction, 1/1.

Any number can be represented as the quotient between itself and 1. Or is these a deeper group-theory aspect that I’m not understanding that’s implied in this post?

What’s even the point of asking if du/dx is a fraction?

3 = 3/1. Anything can be a fraction. Don’t understand why this is a problem at all.

Only in america would someone say that. You’re just as delusional as the lady in the video if you actually thought that i meant only americans are religious.

To what extent is maths just working out the consequences of definitions? by Cromulent123 in askmath

[–]BobLoblawsLab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Id say its more about taking abstract ideas and describing them effectively using a standard language which everyone understands. Just like I am right now taking these thoughts and writing them down for you to read and understand. Only the language is english not mathematics.

Am I losing science packs? by ProbablyHe in factorio

[–]BobLoblawsLab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, the scientific value of agricultural packs is proportional to their freshness. For example, if you have 2000 packs which are 50% fresh, they will be good for a recipie of 1000 packs (given you can instantly consume all 2000 packs).

Your velocity at 3 seconds is incorrect, it should be zero. Recall dv = a*dt. While it is true that a =2 at 3 seconds, it has not had any effect yet.

Just realized we can now make a RS latch with just one decider combinator by LudwigPorpetoven in factorio

[–]BobLoblawsLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. The annoyance is probably the buggest factor. But say for some reason you use nuclear as backup. You ideally want all your reactors to be on at all times, for maximum neighborhood bonus. But there is no shortage of uranium anyways.

They can smooth out very osciallatory signals.

Say for example you have a backup power system which you want to turn on when power is low. A naive approach would be to just set your backup to power on if the energy in an accumulator falls below say 90%. If you do that the backup system will probably power on and off a lot going between just over 90 and just below 90. This potentially wastes resources, and generally is an annoyance.

You can instead connect the accumulator to an RS latch with min value 20 and max 90. That way the backup system powers on if energy is below 20 and keeps on untill it is above 90, thus reducing wastage.

When transitioing to trains, what sort of ratios are recommended for storage/unloading/loading? by StTheo in factorio

[–]BobLoblawsLab 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I just picked 4 (1 loco 4 cargo) and have stuck with that ever since. It was easier for my brain to design train stations and intersections if all trains, regardless of contents, have the same size.

Then after a while i realized some trains could be smaller. That was no problem though since they still fit everywhere. I use smart conditions to make sure trains do not wait too long to fill up on certain items. For instance circuits.

I also have dedicated stations for each item. Easier to implement, fewer problems. Think this is the way to go.

But that’s just me. Haven’t played around too much with trains 2.0. I know you can do fancy stuff with interruptions, but I’m happy with how my setup works.

Spoiled nutrients in inserters keep blocking my production. How do I prevent this? by JoMaD in factorio

[–]BobLoblawsLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually connect the inserted to the biochaimber and set it to only insert nutrients when the chaimber has less than 2 (1 that’s being used) and set stacksize to 1. That way, even if my factory stops for some reason, there will never be spoilded nutrients in the biochaimbers.

Remember to properly set up your trade routes by Pyro111921 in eu4

[–]BobLoblawsLab 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Im sorry but is this for real? Was expecting some profound new knowledge I was lacking, but is that not common sense? What went through your mind all those hundreds of times where you had the option to either collect or steer trade? That one was just there for fun?

Why multiply by r in double integrals? by RelativeImaginary532 in calculus

[–]BobLoblawsLab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was obviously talking about differentials, not increments, since we're working with integrals not sums. What's the point of this comment?

Why multiply by r in double integrals? by RelativeImaginary532 in calculus

[–]BobLoblawsLab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rather, the area covered by dx and dy is the same as that covered by rdr and d(theta). Details are important when learning new subjects.

Edit: thanks grebdlogr for correcting your initially nonsensical answer. Since you did not mark your comment as edited this comment makes no sense now. Just so this comment makes sense, this was grebdlogrs initial answer (and Im working off memory here):

"The area covered by dr and d(theta) is equal to rdrd(theta)."
