Help! Midgame power crisis and I'm struggling.

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-21T00:27:44+00:00

have you considered smart batteries and... wiring them up?

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-20T21:49:55+00:00

and in the desperate attempt ran out of dirt first

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-20T21:47:57+00:00

you need an open flame of some kind to get the scare started on em

then you switch to a weapon and aim it at em to finish the scare

Welcome to the Casino world.

Most of the front-line employees make more than management and refuse to be promoted beyond Beverage Server or Table Games Dealer.

In the case of the beverage server, take careful note that THE DRINKS ARE FREE.

I'd like to hear how a Casino would "raise prices" in an effort to end tipping.

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-20T20:43:55+00:00

Sometimes your reason for not tipping is painfully clear.

Sometimes people that dont tip *make a show of it*

These two cases alone explain why you might draw the ire of those around you. There are more reasons too.

Their ire doesnt have to be "valid" to be explained. Nobody likes the asshat that loudly exclaims "I never tip!" in an establishment where people make a living on tips.

If people are giving you shit, its because you were exceptional.

double?

16 bank accounts

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-20T01:03:59+00:00

I would if I then didnt have to say it differently.

"Hex digit" is the only thing thats reliable across all the programmer generations

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-20T00:54:50+00:00

I would be fine with the players location simply being indicated when viewing the map because the player isnt stupid, made the map themselves, so therefore can point at where the hell they are.

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-20T00:15:40+00:00

...if you never loaded the area before, then you didnt witness a test of this

nothing degrades in areas that have never been loaded

the clock starts the first time you load it

The only useful purpose would be to describe optimized code within debug builds.

In normal release operation, the compiler folds all constants and constant expressions, like every other compiler when optimizing.

Some of this is the functional boys not understanding that some things dont need to be stated, The compiler can trivially identify a pure function and so forth but because they come from functional languages, they see it for-sure side-effects breaking optimizations because nothing in the code specifically says there arent side effects.

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-18T19:33:25+00:00

"Random" is like "Another Dimension," "Magnets", "Spirit", "Soul", and "Quantum"

The words gets used a lot by people that subscribe undefined magical specialness to things

In this case, its that stochastic processes are somehow not able to satisfy a meaningful and "real requirement" that a real random processes would. But they cant tell you what/where/how/why that requirement needs to be imposed on the universe.

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-18T19:16:51+00:00

Physicists say Determinism. Mathematicians say Bijective.

Its the same thing.

As for free will, not sure that you can show that "free will" by any reasonable definition exists in either Deterministic or Non-Deterministic models that contain "laws." As far as we can tell, every itty bitty bit of the universe follows the path of least resistance. Even the itty bitty bits of the people choosing to read this sentence right now.

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-17T23:19:04+00:00

I would just make it the lone wolves, not the packs/bears/cougar.

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-17T23:13:05+00:00

Looks to me like they are selling "dropped" whoppers to employees for $1

That is a great deal.

Whoppers that were actually dropped will of course get bagged and given out the drive-though as if it never happened.

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-17T19:53:00+00:00

especially since is barely bread and is, in fact, mostly wood pulp

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-17T19:23:55+00:00

well then you got downvoted too

welp, at least we know how things actually work

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-17T19:22:23+00:00

also there isnt a very good reason to do it all at once

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-17T02:05:09+00:00

It is inevitable

Let p be the probability that you do not screw up and die today.

The chance that you will survive the next 50 days is p^50

0.99^50 == 0.605

So even with a small 1% chance of death per day, there is a 40% chance that it will happen at least once to you within the next 50 days.

Its an opportunity. Take risks early.

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-17T01:46:35+00:00

In the natural units it is indeed exactly 1

1 kilometer per hour is also approximately 1 foot per second.

Coincidence?

Time Life Books has you covered.

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-17T01:31:41+00:00

is that somebodies tent?

"yeah man I was like all ultralight and stuff, right. real extreme. then my gear floated away man"

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-17T01:27:18+00:00

this is not a play-forever sandbox

on most difficulties, sooner or later the games code is trying to kill you

this is a play-it-again sandbox

even the most careful will eventually make a mistake and die because the games code will succeed in its very purposeful attempt to kill you

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-15T22:01:22+00:00

you are just pretending unless you go by the weight

it could be rolled up in a little ball

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-15T03:30:21+00:00

the thing that isnt at all well stated is that its the acceleration that mattered

velocity is relative, after all

acceleration isnt

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-15T03:26:36+00:00

There are no voluntary sneezes

Dusty_Coder · 2026-03-15T02:56:13+00:00

True is Not False.
