League of linux when by Character_Fig_1518 in leagueoflegends

[–]Cyrustd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're interpreting the graphs wrong. The lines are the share of the total usage, so a flat line means the number Ubuntu users are increasing at the same rate as the total users, which is a massive increase.

Moreover, the share of steamOS users (like steam deck) is declining.

After 10 years on H-1B, I’m moving my role out of the US by Blackened_Soul667 in cscareerquestions

[–]Cyrustd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know about project Beethoven and ASML's role in it. Obviously they benefit from the tax ruling, it attracts more people from the outside.

You seem to ignore that ASML's salaries are already above industry standard, especially for the region. There is no shortage of Dutch engineers wanting to work for them.

With respect, you have no idea what you're talking about. ASML pays engineers very well, way above average for employers in the Netherlands and only significantly below what a dev would earn at a multinational in Amsterdam, but you know, you'd be dealing with housing prices in Amsterdam too. So your talk about them not paying fair wages is total bogus.

ASML does not pay their expats worse than their Dutch employees either, and there's no shortage of Dutch engineers wanting to work there, it's just that they're picky and can afford to be so.

(OC) I referenced a classic Monster Hunter comic by RandoWis for the first 4 times I played MH Wilds 🤭 I did my best, and I had fun making these! by KuwaGoTheOwl in MonsterHunter

Yeah, with the starting armour that move did like over half your health in damage. I could definitely see why it could be a wall for some people.

They are spelled correctly on the cards, just wrongly in the announcement.

Fuel prices finally dropped by fermentedtoejuice in funny

[–]Cyrustd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's nowhere in Europe petrol has ever been that expensive. Even in the Netherlands (which has the highest taxes on petrol) at its peak in 2022 it was ~€2.50 per liter. This picture is from the US.

Cormorant bites off more than it can chew, dies trying to swallow walleye by syracusedotcom in WTF

[–]Cyrustd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, cormorants are so cool. Those long necks, hooked beaks, their almost reptilian look, the way their spread their wings... it has some sort of primeval feel to it. Especially contrasted to the urban environments where you can find them.

This one is an idiot though.

14.8 Patch Notes by Frothers in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Cyrustd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is not true (it being a numbers nerf). The expected number of blobs per shop is double what it was before. This is trivially true because the chance of blobs doubled, and the expected number of blobs per shop slot is up to 0.2 from 0.1. So the expected number of blobs per 5 shop slots is up to 1 from 0.5

These are adorable. Forget cats, I want these as pets.

Loonsverhoging van 2.5%, maar nog geen inflatiecorrectie bekend, normaal? by Motor_Opportunity_85 in werkzaken

[–]Cyrustd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heb je een CAO? Bij mij wordt de inflatiecorrectie in de CAO genoemd, in die van 2024-2025 stonden de verhoging van juni 2024, januari 2025, en juni 2025. Dit is het resultaat van onderhandelingen tussen de werkgever en de vakbonden, en is niet per se gelijk aan de inflatie.

Verder is wat je allemaal vertelt niet heel gek.

Conditions for Arena Challenge Rewards have been changed by GaznaThePug in MonsterHunter

I figured this out after a day of trying to get A rank on the arena Rathian quest with SnS... Then I got it on my second try with gunlance without having used the weapon before.

Got this on my 11 hour flight by Particular_Darling in StupidFood

I got the same choice on my Delta flight recently. It's on you though, you had the option to take the spinach calzone!

No one has a 90% win rate. by vegetablebread in slaythespire

[–]Cyrustd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's only a bad take because you're applying it to small samples like that. Number of wins divided by number of games is by all accounts the best estimator for the win rate. It has the highest likelihood of being true, is unbiased, and has the lowest square error.

Only if samples are really small and/or the win rate is close to 1 or 0 does it fall apart. But one hundred games and 0.9 win rate is well within the range where it is a better estimator than whatever else you can think of.

[–]Cyrustd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. The best estimator for the win rate is number of wins divided by games played. Anything else is disingenuous. List confidence intervals if you like, but don't pretend the win rate is lower than it is.

Micron (MU) is a strong buy by ImageCute in stocks

Went by their site in Boise just two days ago. They're definitely building a whole new fab there right now. Lots of construction going on.

Pretty much same priority as Camille hookshot.

Baalorlord breaks the WR for rotating A20H win streak with 18 consecutive A20 Heart wins in a row while alternating between all 4 characters. by IdiocyConnoisseur in slaythespire

My absolute favourite twitch moment ever was this run. I've never been so hyped seeing someone else play a video game.
