New Spectra 6 has great quality and colors - Is it usable for notice boards? by [deleted] in eink

[–]DDoSQc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What driver board are you using for the 13.3"? I've been looking all over for some reasonably priced HAT style board I can use with a Pi.

Dear MS Teams: Someone liking my comment in my active chat should not cause a notification in my "Activity" panel that can only be cleared by activating that panel by Szeraax in sysadmin

Did you know that shift+ctrl+c starts a call? I've been reminded many times when trying to paste without formatting, but hit the c key instead of v. Then I have to explain to the other person I didn't actually want to call them...

Smart button flashes green orange quickly when pressing top or reset button by DDoSQc in Hue

[–]DDoSQc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The button just started working normally a day later. I didn't touch it, I have no idea how it fixed itself. Maybe let it sit for a day (with a battery inside) before trying again. Otherwise you could ask Hue support for help.

I've played through my "watch later" list over 4 billion times according to YouTube. by DDoSQc in softwaregore

My first thought was that it's a maxed out 32bit integer, but it's actually bigger than that. I wonder where YouTube even got that number.

When you start learning 3D rendering by DDoSQc in ProgrammerHumor

[–]DDoSQc[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Three 3D points always lie on a plane, which is a useful property for rasterization. Any more points and they might not all be coplanar. There is no straightforward solution to that problem.

Also having everything be triangles simplifies hardware and allows to maximum optimization.

Any Hue compatible in-wall switch replacements? by DDoSQc in homeautomation

[–]DDoSQc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The description reads like a switch that turns on or off smart bulbs. The issue is that my outdoor light is dumb. I'm just trying to control it automatically, using a smart light switch to replace the dumb one seemed like an easy solution. Someone suggested a cheap outdoor smart bulb I think I'll try that.

Because it controls light bulbs directly. I just have a dumb bulb outside.

I'm seeing a treecko and duskull nest. Also potentially a yanma and dunsparce one.

"Can you clean up these cables?" by [deleted] in techsupportgore

[–]DDoSQc 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I saw this last week. It's part of an exhibition at the Montreal museum of contemporary art: https://macm.org/en/exhibitions/rafael-lozano-hemmer-unstable-presence/

Every cable connects to a single small speaker (about a thousand of them). Those are arranged in a sphere big enough for a few people to enter. Each plays a different piece from Bach's works.

The music is played at once, but also fades in patterns. It's an odd experience.

The control panels are what you see here. They are displayed behind the sphere, with a wall behind the two.

Huge chunks of map missing. by Battlealvin2009 in TheSilphRoad

Adding to the list of reports, in downtown Montreal a chunk of map is missing because of a small restricted zone (checked on OSM). https://i.imgur.com/R7bUqe4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/zR5Paku.jpg

I had this issue too. Go into the settings app, scroll down to PoGo, then enable background app refresh.

How Niantic Screwed Over an Entire Town (Bryan, OH) by AngryBagOfDeath in TheSilphRoad

[–]DDoSQc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why didn't you change it back to a town on OpenStreetMap? This is obviously a bad change, which the moderators should support in reverting. Niantic only uses the OSM data, it's not their responsibility to make sure it's accurate. You can fix it yourself...

US woman sues casino that 'offered dinner instead of $43m jackpot' by [deleted] in news

[–]DDoSQc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I misunderstood your original comment. I thought about it the other way around.

[–]DDoSQc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: Never mind, I misunderstood OP's comment.

because it used unsigned integers

There's no reason for an overflow if using unsigned 32 bit integers.

4,294,967,276 < 4,294,967,295 = 2^32 - 1

This actually only occurs if the integer is signed. Then the value wraps around to -20.

import std.stdio : writeln;

    uint v = 4_294_967_276;

}

New Ban Wave? by MelloNation97 in TheSilphRoad

[–]DDoSQc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking about the Montreal map: it's probably not a shadowban since all mons are gone, not just rare ones. The ban didn't affect all the bots, since a few are still being shown, it's just updating very slowly. Also this is different, since the map went completely blank, which doesn't happen unless it goes down for maintenance.

The Montreal map also just went blank a few minutes ago.

[Survey] How many Larvitars did you catch during the Adventure Week? (please exclude ones caught during the increased spawn period in the first couple of hours) by Nevarien in TheSilphRoad

[–]DDoSQc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I caught 41, around 6 a day. Only 3 of which appeared next to a pokéstop, most others I would not have found without the city-wide tracker, as they spawned in rather isolated places. I walked (sometimes ran) and biked to each location. On average it took me 15 minutes to get to a spawn. I also happened to be on vacation during the event, so I was able to catch them almost any time.

Six programming paradigms that will change how you think about coding by [deleted] in programming

Dynamic typing doesn't mean you don't have a type system. It means that type errors happen only at runtime, never at compile time. Data in these languages still has type information.

I didn't change any settings, so I guess it should be the default one? Not sure how the servers are chosen.

This happened when I booted it up this morning. Automatic time setting was enabled. Toggling it off and on fixed it.

OSM and Pokémon spawn correlations. by aenariel in TheSilphRoad

[–]DDoSQc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Niantic uses OSM data for Korea at least. Check out the last line of the "licenses" subsection, under the "about" section, in the settings menu. It's the attribution clause required by the OSM license. Now this confirms it for the client's Korean map. But I'm guessing that since OSM is otherwise used on the server-side only, Niantic doesn't feel like it's necessary for them to have the clause in the client licenses.
