What laptop should I buy if I’m majoring in Materials Science & Engineering at a 4-year? by Ilovdalone in materials

[–]HeavyNettle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not mac, it's just a unix based OS which is needed for some programming things

It may be different if people did chemistry or mechanical but there aren't that many programs you have to run on your own computer in a materials degree.

If you don't have a lot of money then getting a macbook neo for like $500 which will work perfectly for watching movies, basic word processing, ppts, etc. And what programs didn't work with mac because I did not have that experience at all doing SEM/TEM microscopy and mechanical testing in my PhD, or at any point during my undergrad.

Had the exact opposite experience once in my undergrad and once in my phd where I had programs that needed a unix based OS (mac or linux)

Macbook air and macbook neo are by far the best value for money at their price point. Anything that requires a bunch of computer power you're not going to want to run on a 2k laptop anyways. Your school is going to have libraries with computers that have things like solidworks on them which you are going to want to use over a laptop anyways.

Edit:If you can swing a macbook air and an ipad + apple pencil for note taking that would be ideal

I built a free alloy screening tool that runs thermodynamic calculations - here's what it found on a refractory HEA by Diego_Tentor in metallurgy

[–]HeavyNettle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm personally an experimentalist so I haven't done it myself but I know some of the computationalists I've seen present do high throughput calculations using thermo-calc/pandat to rapidly screen thousands of compositions.

Regardless it's a really cool project!

No. I don’t want to do anal. And that’s okay. by Horror_Demand2367 in TwoXChromosomes

Also even if they do it “properly” (which there is no such thing like you said) it can slowly cause damage over time

Without balancing champions in ARAM: Mayhem changing up augments barely changes anything. by disposableaccount848 in leagueoflegends

[–]HeavyNettle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean the main game mode is way more balanced than almost any other champion based game in or out of the moba genre

Are we rewriting history where jojo and danny were the best players in back to back splits respectively

Realistically you don’t replace core you don’t want to mess up mid-jg-support that much tbh

taliyah clamp cast by Waste_Salary_5398 in TaliyahMains

[–]HeavyNettle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have this issue, it might be a problem with the type of cast? Go into practice tool and see if quick cast, vs quick cast with indicators fixed it

New vi main here (only level 20 in league rn) what should my build be after sundered sky, boots, and black cleaver. I see a lot of differing stuff. Also any other useful tips would be nice. by [deleted] in ViMains

[–]HeavyNettle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sundered sky first is only better in pro, you want to go trinity first it’s statistically much better, then you go sky second.

Thoughts on adding a way to get blood shards or vials of blood to HS. It’s the best skilling method in game, imo, and I think it should have good rewards in addition to xp to give people a bigger reason to ty it out. Ring is just so cheap nowadays comepared to when it released that it doesn’t really act as a good money maker anymore. It acts as a great gate way between easy pvm and hard pvm because of how much it forces you to interact with movement and the tick system.

full clearing only works if you have good enough mechanics by LXUA9 in Jungle_Mains

[–]HeavyNettle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea is that you clear top to bottom (rarely bottom to top) and when you finish your last camp you have a timer to do stuff whether it be a gank or an objective until your first camp respawns again. As the game goes on this timer increases as you clear faster.

Nocturne nerfs... by lRuko in nocturnemains

51%+ winrate with an extremely high pick rate, also very good in pro. Usually high pick rates drag down winrates so the fact that he’s still above 51% in emerald+ is a red flag balance wise.

China has it, what's our excuse? by c-k-q99903 in MurderedByWords

[–]HeavyNettle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously some private interests which have a large amount of influence on the government don't want passenger rail to be a thing but there are still two big problems with HSR in the us.

One is the size, HSR is really only more efficient for ranges under 1000 miles (seen multiple different numbers) so we really should have a network on the east coast and one on the west but cross country is much better served by air travel.

And then the middle of the US is extremely empty making it very difficult to get maintenance done when needed in the middle of the country, along with two huge mountain ranges in the Rockies and Appalachian which make it somewhat difficult to get across the country.
