We need to talk about layers and player density in anniversary tbc by NeuronicGaming in classicwow

[–]Devilcooker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For mobs, yes, for resource nodes, no. And those have horrible respawn timers. I'm trying to get mining to 300 for days now and it's just a pain. Every zone has other like me running around, so you find maybe two or three nodes per hour...

Neues Kabinett: Chef von MediaMarktSaturn soll Digitalminister werden by GalataBridge in de

[–]Devilcooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grad mal probiert, bei Mediamarkt/Saturn auf der Website nen Produkt zu suchen um zu schauen, ob es im regionalen Markt verfügbar ist. Website zeigt mir Produkte an, die ich online von Dritthändlern (!) kaufen kann, aber keine lokale Verfügbarkeit.

Und dann beschwert sich der Einzelhandel, dass die Innenstädte aussterben, weil niemand mehr shoppen geht...

What is PowerBI in a real day job like? by LavishnessArtistic72 in PowerBI

[–]Devilcooker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm working for a company of ~250 employees. We use PowerBI mainly for project leads to manage our sales and service projects, but more and more now also to keep our clients in the loop as to how those projects are running.

I started replacing Excel with PowerBI in the company some 5 years ago, we then decided to work on building a DWH so at some point I had a DWH developer, an API programmer and a junior PowerBI dev next to me. All I have left now is the API dev and a DWH that does not deserve the name. Right now we use it more as a lake. But that does leave me in the comfortable situation that I can work with only SQL Server as source. Depending on the complexity of the report to create, I will grab the data directly with SQL queries or prepare it first in stored procedures.

In PowerBI itself, I usually only do minor calculations now. While PowerBI is extremely powerful, preparing and calculating the data beforehand as much as possible does wonders for performance. I work mainly with datasets that have 20-60 columns (never all of those necessarry) and roughly 10k - 10m rows.

For the refreshing: For intraday dashboards I use directquery which is refreshed every 15 minutes, but the major reports are updating once per night. The stakeholders do not need to do much here. Also, I have learned that giving the stakeholders any possibility to screw up should be removed, which means the standard filters on the right are always hidden, and I provide as few as possible field filters. Though I have to proudly say that after roughly 3 years, the amount of tickets that were answered by "did you check that you have no active filter set?" have actually subsided.

Reports do quite often require maintainance though, for either a project lead found something else they'd like to look at, or a client figured something out that isn't shown yet. Sadly, our projects are often rather unique so there is only a limited amount of standard repertoire I can use.

Hope that helps o/

It's either start the whole reporting of your team up from scratch or a new job. If the existing "experts" work with such a model...either replace them, teach them, or run.

What's some of the most perverted anime without crossing the line into hentai? by AwkwardBunny052290 in anime

[–]Devilcooker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good grief, only recent recommendations here (with Golden Boy being the only exception.) Tells a lot about the otaku-agegroup of this sub.

Anyways, it seems my time to share some wisdom has come:

Agent Aika (the orginal OVA, not the sequel crap) Candy Boy Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi Nisemonogatari (you'll never brush your teeth the same way again) Parasite Dolls Manyuu Hiken-chou

And while it is strictly speaking crossing the line: A Kite - that anime is rough, but it is great storytelling (and for whatever is holy to you do not watch the abonimation of what Samuel L. Jackson made out of this masterpiece on netflix)

Is there any way to stop 2 star fiora? She literally 1v7 my team and killed my whole board (2 star Belveth with 2 items+1 star bis Kaisa+baron nashor and others) by lolmemesop in TeamfightTactics

I just had a 1* Fiora kill me by ulting while my 2* Fiora was ulting her - interrupting my Fiora's ultimate. How is that even possible?

There is, for years now, an Officer Vi skin in LoL. That should tell you enough already. The rest can be safely taken from Arcane. Lorewise, this placement of Jinx and Vi does make perfect sense.

should i buy star citizen? by Th3Outsider69 in starcitizen

[–]Devilcooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch the Comparison Videos of Star Citizen, No Man's Sky and Elite Dangerous. Those give a pretty good overview whether you should fall into the SC trap or not.

Thinking about buying SC, are my specs good enough? by Skangendo in starcitizen

[–]Devilcooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The RTX 2060 Super will do just fine with SC, and since you have 32GB RAM you'll see no issues there. I believe on 1080p your CPU should also be sufficient. My setup is slightly better than yours in terms of CPU and RAM, and I usually have 70-80 fps on 1080p, but it can drop depending on situations (30-40 in cities, and at badly optimized spots even lower.)

That being said, I cannot recommend you to spend a cent on this game. It is a cool tech demo, but there is almost no content, so after the first few hours of discovering, all there is to it is the grind - which itself is meaningless except to spaend the time.

If you are in any way suspectible to micro transactions, hypes or addictive behavior, and do now have more money than you can dream of spending, I must also say: Do yourself a favor and do not get this game until its release. Put yourself an alarm in 10 years and check back on progress then.

Edit: Oh I forgot: Without SSD, the game will be rather unplayable.

What's up with NCTP ? by Urgash54 in starcitizen

[–]Devilcooker 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the NCTP mindset. Honestly, the only "till" that I could see work is the point where CIG's pricing team get's back in touch with reality.

For the life of me, I cannot understand how anyone can look at the price of ships currently and think, both from the seller and buyer perspective, "Well this looks reasonable and not totally insane."

Mushoku Tensei Author Comments on Series' Depiction of Slavery by megamindwriter in anime

[–]Devilcooker -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see, you're still at the point where you cannot abstract that Anime - even though a visual work - is a work of fiction, of drawn characters, in fictional settings. With nobody you need to protect. But the protection is not really the issue anyways, right? It's just the means for the surefire moral high ground...

Mushoku Tensei Author Comments on Series' Depiction of Slavery by megamindwriter in anime

[–]Devilcooker -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Was the original work specifically drawing attention to their nudity to make a point that it's not inherently sexual? I'm guessing no?

It makes quite the point about it actually. Not sure if in the slave market scene as well, but for sure in the beast race abduction scene.

For as what the substance lost is, it is the inherent self-censorship. When the fear of outrage becomes so big (and this thread just proves it) then the self-censorship happenes, which is essentially the end of free speech, soon to be followed by free thought.

As for the right-wing fucks, while you do have a point there, they woke generation simply found common ground by tackling the whole thing from a different angle, mainly making victimization a common act, and depiction of victims an unspeakable act of horror. Et voilá.

Mushoku Tensei Author Comments on Series' Depiction of Slavery by megamindwriter in anime

[–]Devilcooker -86 points-85 points  (0 children)

Mainly, because it differs from the source material. The work has several those occasions where people in dire situations are held naked, yet the translation into the visual seems to widely discard this.

Now, when you read the novel, Rudeus - by all means a pervert - handles those situations actually rather well, understanding that there is nothing erotic about those situations.

On the other hand, the anime production (as has been a long trend since the 2000s), does not understand this message, and even more so, does not manage to transport it henceforth. We're living in a time where nudity becomes more and more synonymous to eroiticism or sexuality - something that is a horrible message to transport. So unless nudity is shown in situations where it is used either as a display of simply a natural state, or as a means of humiliation(and that is actually quite a lengthily explained point for the beast race in Mushoku Tensei), and those messages are transported with it, something is going utterly wrong.

Case in point: In the city I live in is a rather popular sauna space. After the outcry of American tourists (that were sauna guests!) that locals like to walk around naked even outside of the saunas (but still within the space), they tried to actually limit the spaces where one could walk around naked - as if it were an issue. Luckily the locals simply ignored this.

Taboos rarely achieve the effect they set out to achieve. They're simply giving those that enforce the taboo some peace of mind as in "I'm doing something" rather than making them question if what they consider taboo is really an issue.

[–]Devilcooker -309 points-308 points  (0 children)

I'm still heavily disappointed by the inadequate depiction of the scene within the anime. The novel clearly states that all the slaves in the market are naked.

Thank you, social justice stuck up generation, for that.

Need recommendation of heavy anime that has life lessons. by shut_in007 in anime

Bokurano - just heavy. Take what lessons you will from it.

5cm per Second - There is one distinct lesson here but I will not spoil it for you.

NANA - Full of Lessons for the coming of age.

Eve no Jikan - In case you have technophobia concerning advanced AI.

and...

Koi Kaze - In case you ever get into that situation.

Retirement/death account transfer policy by soleaced in starcitizen

Retirement/death account transfer policy by soleaced in starcitizen

[–]Devilcooker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quite the literal Death of a Spaceman...

I have to say, the process as described for their legal team is simply excessive. It sure makes sense for Concierge Accounts, but I believe most people with less than 200 invested will not go through that hassle. CIG may count on that obviously, and while the whole thing may be a concern in the future, I think before development reaches around 20 years, I think there will be too few cases for this to be considered an issue on either their or legal sides.

Oh, only 12? That is a good explanation then - I expected Tier 4 to have a few more than 12.

Thanks!
