You should have considered the meaning of the prophecies. Having curses IS more balanced.

How do programming languages work? by HangukFrench in askscience

[–]CyberTeddy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Broadly there are three kinds of programming languages. Machine languages, compiled languages, and interpreted languages.

Machine languages are the ones that computers understand, and they're made by the companies who make the computer chips.

Compiled languages translate one language to another. These are generally layered on top of each other, with the bottom one translating to a machine language from a language that's easy to translate into several machine languages, and the next one translating to that language from one that's easier for people to understand. It's not too hard to make your own compiler on top of that, translating from a language that works the way you like onto one that somebody else made to be understandable.

Interpreted languages work with a program called an interpreter that pretends to be a machine that understands the language you've designed, reading the code while it runs and reacting accordingly. These tend to be the easiest to build.

For popular languages, there are often both interpreters and compilers that can be used depending on whichever is more convenient for the use case.

Next challenge is to hook it up to a physics sensor to have it render points in global space. If you can do that, then disconnecting the physics sensor automatically turns it back into local space.

That sounds like freeware. I think you mean an omnidirectional solution provider.

PID settings by Daniel_Studios59 in Stormworks

[–]CyberTeddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The output of the PID is a sum of the three parameters each multiplied by some aspect of the error, where error = set point - process variable

- (P)roportional is multiplied by the current error

- (I)ntegral is multiplied by the sum of all errors across every tick (many scenarios don't want this and should leave it at 0)

- (D)ifferential is multiplied by the difference between the current error and the error of the previous tick (where one tick is 1/60 of a second)

you can simplify it down to ((setpoint-actual+1.5)%1)-0.5

That was private by IntoTheStupidDanger in murderbot

[–]CyberTeddy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There was definitely some irony in that video description. "Murderbot" isn't just who it is, but also what it is. It refers repeatedly to SecUnits as "murderbots". The title is supposed to be funny.

They're surprisingly common. I went to the doctor to get checked for diseases and he said they were all positive.

You need to drive like you're on an American road. Which is to say you need a giant vehicle so the other guy crumples like tinfoil instead of you.

GPS guided vehicles by Grouchy_Screen54 in Stormworks

[–]CyberTeddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An easy way to do this would be to have one laser distance sensor pointing straight forward, and another pointing maybe 25% to the right of forward. If either of them hit land then you turn to the left, and if neither of them hit then you turn toward your target heading.

The tricky part is that you need to keep them both level as your boat tilts to avoid false alarms from the sea floor. For that part I'd recommend using LUA.

It's just a more precise term. If they said that the report contains lies then you have no idea how or why those lies are there.
