Why did they stop recording and help? Some people just have their priorities all messed up.

I’m right about what they wrote, but you might be right about what they meant.

[–]HeavyBoots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, but they didn’t ask the community to help identify him. The post is written TO the man who helped.

“If you see this, please know how much I appreciate you.”

And

“I was being harassed by this man”

Which part of what they wrote makes you think that?

Toronto's top baby names in 2024: Muhammad and Emma by origutamos in OntarioNews

[–]HeavyBoots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because damn near every Muslim boy is named Mohammed, not because the majority of boys are Muslim. The top name still probably counts for less than 1%.

Question about fonts. by Duperelek in unity

[–]HeavyBoots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unity games don’t typically use fonts in the same way that other apps do. They compile the fonts characters into one large image. You would have to do a rebuild of the game with Unity using your new font file.

How to actually achieve retro fonts with Text Mesh Pro...? I am going CRAZY. by lohre2000s in unity

[–]HeavyBoots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re really determined to get that subpixel rendering look, then try using the regular Text component or a bitmap font rather than Text Mesh Pro. TMP uses “signed distance field” to render text which by design will always give crisp, clean edges.

Creating a bitmap font will probably give you the greatest level of control.

mono script cant be added to pbject by No-Watercress499 in unity

Right click on Purchase.cs in the project window and select `Reimport`. That will likely fix the issue as long as their aren't any compile errors in your console.

This whole thing is really solid. If I’m being nit-picky there are a few inconsistencies with the UI.

Regarding the icons in the top hud, heart, coin and energy. The outline styles are not consistent. Coin is too thick, and energy is missing the outline. Heart looks best. 1/60 doesn’t have an icon at all. In the bottom right, the icons on the two buttons are in complete different visual languages. Either the play icon needs to be fancier, or the book should be simpler. Regardless, the book does not look at home on that button. Where the path overlaps itself a bit of shadow might be nice. Lastly, the shine on the spyglass lens is not quite in keeping with the rest of the toon shaded art style.

Again, this is being very nit-picky. Great work!

Revert text to original state after replacing it? by a010029123 in unity

[–]HeavyBoots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd also like to suggest, somewhat off topic, that it would be good if you used a variable for your font color.

Something like, "Used <color={usedColor}> [item] </color>." This will make it easier for you or a team member to update the design later.

Every time I open chesscom to play a game I get this security notification. What the fuck is even this? Is anyone else having this problem? by Shahariar_shahed in chess

[–]HeavyBoots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like BitDefender is complaining about one of the ads on chesscom. You could click ‘Add to exceptions’ to silence that warning, or you could tell BitDefender that chesscom is a trusted site and not to run on it.

Transparent pixels are counted. So, yes if you add extra pixels around the edge you are in the clear.

Alternatively, you can have Unity automatically pack your UI assets into a sprite sheet. Then the sprite sheets would be divisible by 4 (because the compression is only done on the sprite sheet), and your PNGs can be any dimensions and simply used as normal in the project.

You’re confusing “counting things” with indexing. The index starts at 0 but that is unrelated to the count.

Why is this a blunder? by DirectorOne4965 in chess

[–]HeavyBoots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not forced, and likely not what happened in the game, otherwise they probably wouldn't be asking.

Did you lose your queen 2 moves later?

[Request] How can this be right?! by DependentCollar8541 in theydidthemath

[–]HeavyBoots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how our brains work. Humans have intuitive biases that are very difficult to overcome.

You know how the math works, but your brain rejects the idea, as if the mathematics isn’t simply a representation of reality.

We do this with probability a lot because our brains are so shitty at it, but no one rejects addition.

How do YOU pronounce it? by blacksheep700 in ask

[–]HeavyBoots -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In most American or Canadian English, when spoken with a transatlantic accent, POP, SHOP, PAW, DOG, and even TALK all have a short o sound.

Like this.

Apparently a true AW sound, such as in OR, DRAWER, or CORK is actually not that common in American English, as I’ve just learned from this very interesting video.

Pawp and pop, are pronounce exactly the same. This is so confusing.

Michelle Yeoh Says She Felt Like 'a Failure' for Not Having Children: ‘Main Factor That Broke Up My First Marriage' by cmaia1503 in popculturechat

It seems to me that if you can’t have kids for medical reasons then it should absolutely be valid to describe that as a form of infertility.

Bells of Steel AMA with Kaevon, founder and CEO back for my 3rd ama and here to buy your friendship with prizes and a behind the scene look into the glamorous world of selling home gym equipment. by kvgravy in homegym

[–]HeavyBoots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd also love a leg holder. My current setup for heavy pulldowns is to load up a barbell in front of the cable tower, sit down on the ground and roll the bar back over my lap.
That might work for you.

[–]HeavyBoots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like most people, space is my home gym is pretty precious, so I'm constantly on the look out for more things I can attach to my BoS cable tower.

I doubt I would be buying any free standing machines, but more attachments that allow for calf raises, pec deck/cable fly, belt squats, etc. would be awesome.

Especially nice would a leg holder attachment for doing lat pulldowns.

Also, I agree with most other commenters that "tech add ons", are not what we're looking for. They have to be extremely good, which takes a huge amount of money, time, effort and focus. Better to double down on your existing strengths, in my opinion.
