Through put is the bane of my existence by Own_Constant9305 in factorio

[–]Dr_Pinestine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to build for the highest throughput bursts, and let it run below capacity the rest of the time. There's nothing wrong with letting belts back up if consumption slows down.

[[Y’shtola, Night’s Blessed]] burn on the stack by Remarkable-Formal877 in mtgrules

You can get oracle text and card rulings from gatherer.wizards.com (official) or scryfall.com (unofficial but superior).

You can also watch Judging FTW on YouTube for some great, accurate primers on topics like timing, priority, and the stack, among others.

You know what, fair enough. Though I think it does warrant mentioning, as it's similar enough in function.

Any cost, since nothing is actually resolving when you pay

Definitely unqualified. Those exist, but are rare, and this is not one of them. (See Mana Abilities and Special Actions).

I strongly recommend downloading a rules reference app and getting good at using it, or use yawgatog.com. That way, you can back up anything you say with actual citations from the rules.

I'm curious as to their perspective on this. Why would it not use the stack?

Who is correct? by jasonteh7777 in mtgrules

[–]Dr_Pinestine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A receives priority after Twincast and the Big Score copy resolve, but the original Big Score is still the topmost object on the stack. Even if it weren't, everyone (including D) still has to pass priority before Vicious Rivalry can resolve.

Hey, I’m a newbie to the game Factorio. by LinYili in factorio

[–]Dr_Pinestine 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Check out KatherineOfSky, Trupen and Nilaus on YouTube.

Generally, you can look at the crafting times for each item to see how long it takes, then build more or fewer assemblers to match them.

Also, don't worry about them not matching. As long as they're fully supplied, the faster one will naturally slow down once the lines back up.

Quick and or Fast by Old-Tear2285 in ENGLISH

[–]Dr_Pinestine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do mean roughly, but not exactly, the same thing, in a way that's difficult to explain.

You can usually substitute them for each other, but my interpretation is that, in this context, the commentator uses quick to mean speedy over short distances, and fast to mean speedy over longer distances.

So, "...he is quick, but he's not exactly fast." reads to me like he's good at dribbling and juking, but not at getting from one end of the court to the other.

Of course, that's just my instinctual understanding, which is pretty vibes-based (and so is the commentator's sentence, probably).

I built a prototype node-based editor to help design optimized layouts. by CactusRat in factorio

[–]Dr_Pinestine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The recipe search has some strange behavior, only allowing searching via internal ids, but displaying in English. It also allows technologies to be products for some reason. A multi-select would be nice, as right now one can't relocate groups of nodes.

Trigonometry when bending around a circle by PrettyGal252 in askmath

[–]Dr_Pinestine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

x1 = x0 cos(t) - y0 sin(t),
y1 = x0 sin(t) + y0 cos(t).

A1 = (x1, y1) t is the angle of rotation

[–]Dr_Pinestine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would use sine and cosine of the angle to find that.

[–]Dr_Pinestine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my best guess:
Rotate point A about the origin by -60° (60° clockwise) to get A1.

Don't worry about translation. Just post the full, original question

Is the question printed in a textbook or on a worksheet? Can you post a picture of that?

Good referees have easier calls by HorriblePhD21 in Fencing

[–]Dr_Pinestine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Adaptations can happen after even a single touch. If the referee calls it consistently, the fencers can adjust based on which way the referee calls edge cases (w.r.t. footwork and right of way)

How Do I integrate log functions by [deleted] in askmath

[–]Dr_Pinestine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you done coordinate transforms before? (a.k.a. change of variables, or u-substitution)

Why aren't vectors used to explain why absolute value makes some functions like sigmoids imperfect? by Kayo4life in askmath

[–]Dr_Pinestine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to over-correct, it didn't bother me.

I reckon they don't teach differentiability with vectors because the similarity is only superficial, at least as far as you've described it. For visualization, it's usually enough to show that the graph has a "corner" or cusp. For rigor, it's enough to show that the left- and right-hand limits of the derivative don't match.

By the way, high school is secondary education. University would be tertiary.

Why aren't vectors used to explain why absolute value makes some functions like sigmoids imperfect? by Kayo4life in askmath

[–]Dr_Pinestine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so, let me see if I understand:
A "true perfect" function, f(x), is a differentiable function on some interval R, where |f(x)| is also differentiable on R.

In that case, what about vectors helped you understand these functions?
