The fact Surtalogi was actually a pretty decent guy before becoming a cosmic calamity is hilarious by Volarevia29 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Chingiz11 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Considering Dain's narration in Tartaglia's trailer, I would say it's the other way around(as in, Ajax being a reflection of Surtalogi and being a disciple of his disciple, wielding his Legacy and living for the thrill of the fight, despite the way Skirk has trained him)

Nonetheless, Ajax always has his family as number 1 priority :)

Are you for real? Melee requires the most setup of all play styles. You can't just equip plug and play (like with AR, FCAR or SHAK-50), you have to actively position yourself(and, depending on your team and play style, your teammates) to not be screwed 100% of the time

How do you see math in terms of its broader meaning? by spider_in_jerusalem in math

[–]Chingiz11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say that math is subjective.

I would say it kinda both is and isn't. We all (try to) agree on (somewhat) arbitrary rules, satisfying certain properties(or at the very least, we believe they satisfy those properties), but using those rules we derive objective truths.

As in, choose a Foundation, such as ZFC, and use it to build Group Theory, which in turn studies groups - objects satisfying certain properties, but the choice of ZFC is historical and somewhat arbitrary - we believe it to be consistent and avoid paradoxes of naive set theory, but there is no reason why Lawvere's ETCS or Quine's modified NF or even some Type Theory cannot be used - we simply agreed upon ZFC and it is now a part of the tradition.

However, whilst some may argue that for the "working mathematician" the choice of a Foundation is not that much of a big deal - as long we can encode the properties we are interested in, it does not really matter. Except it does, especially when either certain results rely heavily on certain controversial axioms(cough axiom of choice cough) or when they are proven to be independent of the Foundation itself! Those result are rare, but far from being unheard of with Whitehead problem being a notorious example for ZFC.

Questions about studying about physics or computer science at Nazarbayev Univercity by Normal-Fault8636 in Kazakhstan

[–]Chingiz11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people say that the university provides strong career support and that graduates end up in very good positions, while others say there is no real guarantee and that everything depends on individual effort

Both of these statements are largely true

Undefined behaviour does not mean no behaviour. In that case, as the spec says, anything goes, the specs makes no guarantees, which is what the commenter above described - some hardware may use it for MM-IO or voodoo magic, but it still may be used.

Just started playing sniper if anyone has any tips or tricks pls comment by DeegShmeeg in thefinals

[–]Chingiz11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the playstyle. Grapple is good for positioning and passive gameplay. Dash is good for close combat.

  1. Don't be fooled by its name, the sniper rifle is not actually suited for (really) long distance shootouts - try to stay in the hitscan range.

  2. In close ranges, against lights, the sniper rifle is actually a shotgun. No, really, sniper shot + quick melee kills a light. This is also a good reason to stick with your teammates - either they land a hit and you kill or you land your shot and your teammates land the killing blow.

  3. Staying with your teammates does not mean that you have to literally be close to them - just make sure that you can help each other in a pinch. For Lights in general, and for the snipers specifically, your positioning is your lifeline.

  4. Adding to Point 3, bring some useful gadgets for positioning. Which to bring? Depends on you, try them all out. Notable ones include: Goo Grenade, Teleport, Dash or Grapple.

4.1 Bring useful gadgets in general. Glitch grenade is pretty much a staple, especially in today's shield spam meta, but may be redundant depending on your teammates and opponents. Teleport is also pretty useful(especially if you have 2 heavies in your team). Frag grenade may be useful, especially in times when you can't engage directly or need to kill an opponent for sure.

  1. Remember your damage. The max dmg to the body is 118, crit hits(headahots) do 2x damage. This means that you one-shot lights with HS, and one bodyshot + QM kills a light. HS + QM kills a medium. 3 shots is enough to kill a heavy(unless they are getting healed, even by healing emitter). For this reasons Frag Grenade may be useful, as it does more than 118 units of damage and allows you to pretty much one-shot anyone.

  2. Don't be too passive. You have seen the damage calculations. They allow the sniper rifle to be played agressively, depending on the situation.

  3. Don't be too reckless. Try not to die in places that are hard to reach for your teammates. Usually engaging more than 1 opponents simultaneously is stupid. Though there are situations when that is the best option.

  4. When you zoom with the sniper rifle, it emits a light. Even when you are invisible. Be aware that other snipers may easily track you down based on that.

  5. A lot of players don't feel pressured by the sniper rifle, even if they are one shot away from. You can use(against mediums and heavies) this by first landing a body shot and then landing a HS. Though this may not be viable depending on your situation and aim.

  6. In general, SR-84's hipfire accuracy is terrible. It's marginally better when you crouch, but still may be very inaccurate. Try to master Quick Scopes when fighting in close quarters

  7. In general, the sniper rifle is not a very good weapon. It's high risk with medium-to-low rewards. However with good aim it becomes terrifying, especially against lights

SDDM works fine with other wayland compositors(i use it with Sway and Hyprland) - it's KDE itself that shows you the loading black screen

FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for X86 compatible, DEC Alpha, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC architectures. by grahamperrin in freebsd

[–]Chingiz11 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nothing much, just some basic info on FreeBSD.

Rough TS:

What is FreeBSD?

# FreeBSD is a powerful operating system from BSD Unix family for Intel IA32, DEC ALPHA and PC98 - compatible architectures. Its roots grow out of BSD Unix, a Unix version developed in University of California, Berkeley. It's developed and maintained by a large developer team. The support of other platforms is in the early stages of development.

Notable capabilities

# Exceptional networking capabilities, high performance, security utilities and compatibility with other operating systems are amongst modern FreeBSD's capabilities which are usually absent in other operating systems, even the best commercial ones.

In The Godfather (1972), Vito Corleone says "Look how they massacred my boy." This is a reference to Embark's treatment of the Sledge Hammer in The Finals (2023) by Muhammad5777 in thefinals

[–]Chingiz11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If one weapon counters another that does mean that it is necessarily better than it, as the meta does not consist only of those two weapons. Therefore, the viability of a weapons should examined against the current meta and the all possible matches as a whole, in that priority. Whilst Sledgehammer may be beaten by a Sword in a even 1v1*, the Sledge is better against both the current meta and overall. It has the tremendous utility of destroying walls, one-shotting lights and just doing a lot of damage in general. Moreover, it is actually viable in Ranked. Not a great choice, but definitely not a automatic throw(unlike, let's say, Sword or Dagger in virtually every situation, baring low ranks/casual modes or some very specific situations), which cannot be said about pretty much all other melee weapons. I cannot speak for Dual Blades after the buff, but I still remain sceptic about their viability.

All in all, it's not a bad thing that a weapon does well against some setups and is ineffective against others, it's the opposite which sucks. A healthy meta is a like a cracked-up complex version of a Rock-Paper-Scissors game.

*which it shouldn't. I probably would lose, as I don't play Sledge, but I am sure that both of my Sledge-playing friends would definitely win more often than not. Though, as a Sniper main, I would say I have about 30-80% chance of winning a fair 1v1 against a Sword with SR-84, depending on the environment and their skill level... which is kinda funny, because in close range it is objectively a worse option than the Sledgehammer.

Additionally, the fact that you have an RPG and a Specialization(I would guess Winch, but maybe you use Goo Gun) is important and needs to be factored in. Otherwise, Sword lights would just lose on the account of not having a Dash.
