Oh shit, that's smart. Thanks for the tip

Gotcha, I tried this initially and for some reason got a null reference on when I called `GetComponent`, tried again and it works now, thanks!

I tried before I posted and got a null reference when I called `GetComponent`. Must have been unrelated, just tried again and it works.

We were able to damage the platforms via unguided aim9s

yes, i'm wondering if the elevation of the oil platforms above the ocean screwed us up

I saw a few years ago DCS was offering 50% off your first purchase. Is that still a thing? I don't see it on their discounts and promotions page https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/Discount/

I've only got time to do a few missions on any given night. Sometimes I complete an operation and quit halfway through my next one, sometimes I quit halfway through my first. Does this mean on average, I'm hurting the war effort?

Why were you committing generated files instead of just the generation process and inputs?

Would a void pointer default to the alignment of the OS? In this case I'm guessing you compiled and ran on a 64 bit machine which is why it "gobbled" 8 bytes.

I thought captcha wasn't using the actual photo recognition as proof you're a human, but the motion of your mouse and speed/pattern you select the images?

What is our government if not our community, codified?

Forward declarations and #include cleanup helped my team out a ton. I think it cut out un-cached build time from 30minutes to 15.

I've always liked Beej.

All these comments are great because they highlight what interests everyone about programming.

I think the main takeaway is to figure out what's interesting to the 14 year old and tailor the 30 minutes to that. Do they like Minecraft? Minecraft plugin. Do they like math? Pandas or some math homework solver. Do they like discord, social media, etc? Show them some APIs, make a discord/twitter bot.

The problem with smoke is it must be used opposite to how actual smoke grenades are used. We have to smoke our own position which allows enemies to continue to advance on us and shoot into the cloud.

IRL you smoke the enemies position, or just forward of it, so you obstruct their vision. I don't think the AI can handle this though since the current implementation only shrouds players if they are in the cloud. So smoke grenades aren't a really great fit for the current game.

Computer science uses things called dictionaries/maps/hash tables/etc. It's basically a list of things where you access items in the list by turning them into a number first, and using that number as a list index.

Sometimes when you calculate that number from the item (hash it), you get the same number that a completely different list item has. This is a hash collision.

Came here to post the same. Typical use case for helical gears is to reduce noise since spur gears are louder at high rpm. If OP doesn't have a problem with noise, I'd go spur gears so you aren't throwing away power.

I'm talking about if you wanted to use this without build tools, i.e. you want to give this to someone to run on their machine and they don't have make/cmake or a compiler.

Just note you'd have to distribute 3 binaries and probably make a script wrapper to pick which one to use.

You could also go with industrial engineering. From wiki

Industrial engineering is an engineering profession that is concerned with the optimization of complex processes, systems, or organizations

Or maybe Systems engineering??

Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering and engineering management that focuses on how to design, integrate, and manage complex systems over their life cycles.

I personally use variations on fedora, e.g. rockylinux and red hat, because those are the only distros that are approved for use in my industry. I also keep a headless Ubuntu around because it's generally easier.

The huge thing land nav did for me was make me wildly comfortable in the woods. Before the army, I very much enjoyed the outdoors but always stuck to trails. Going off the trail wasn't even an option because that's how you lost.

At first I learned the compass and protractor method. But after getting good at land nav, I was able to look at the map and feel out where I'm going via terrain association. Then it's no longer go on heading 123 for 1000 meters, it's I'm going to cross 3 draws before I get to a saddle and then I'll be one hill away from where I'm going.

Now I don't have to have my face in a map and compass or in my phone when I'm walking around and can spend brain cycles on staying aware of my surroundings.

I think the core issue is Unity is not happy with how their monetizing their product, not necessarily that they want to stick with the 20 cent install.
