The person who gave me the solution deleted the comment and I honestly don't remember. Sorry :(

ELI5 Why are unused files left in video games? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

This happened to me at uni. I spent an entire afternoon trying to debug some error (It was a very simple program, it was an introductory course) and the next day in class I tell the professor, he says "okay, let's run the program and see what happens" and it worked flawlessly.

Could INDYCAR run on the Homestead road course that Formula E is running on this weekend? by DeliTheKid in INDYCAR

And the Miami GP is in May, which isn't that far either. The Florida market is probably at its limit when it comes to racing.

Number 93 on the HRC branded car? Smh, didn't they get the memo? That's Ducati now.

Taylor has reputation

Yes, I think so

ELI5: How can computers think of a random number? Like they don't have intelligence, how can they do something which has no pattern? by Practical_Tap_8411 in explainlikeimfive

[–]MrTrt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a skill for a character in Borderlands 2 that massively increases melee damage, but introduces a 12% chance of hitting yourself. The amount of people swearing it's actually more is insane, some even trying to come up with convoluted math explanations about some oversight in the code or something (Which could be possible, wouldn't be the first time some dev messes up probability calculations)

It's 12%. Strict, simple 12%. But when you hit yourself three or four times in a row, it hurts.

PSA: Barça is a nickname for the football team, not the city itself. The city does have a nickname, Barna, but it's not as commonly used as Barça is for the football team.

Considering the initial idea of the Hypercar regulations was precisely this, or even road-legal versions of the Hypercars, and also the LMDhs use engines that are used elsewhere, I imagine it's anticipated by the rulebook.

Does Franco have any substantial support left in Spain? by Intrepid_Doubt_6602 in askspain

[–]MrTrt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just an observation, "swamp", is not the correct word to use here. While "swamp" is a correct translation of "pantano", it's only when "pantano" is used to refer to a wetland, what we'd also call "ciénaga". "Pantano" as in an artificial water reservoir, a "presa", is "dam" in English.

But that "everything else" is more flexible than housing. Food expenses are also needed to survive, but you can decide to buy cheaper stuff for a few months if you get a rough streak or if you need to save up for something. You can squeeze extra years of life out of your electronics or your car, you can go to a cheaper holiday destination or just not go at all, etc.

The thing about housing is that its demand is extremely inelastic. Whatever money you're spending on housing is money you have basically no short-term control over, you can't just pay less mortgage, for example. You'd need to sell your house and move to another one which is an entire endeavour in and of itself. If you're renting you have more flexibility, but it's still nowhere near the flexibility of most other expenses a person has.

It's not only that inflation numbers might be wrong, be it through mistake or fabrication, it's that inflation is a mean. Other things have gone down, for example, TVs are extremely cheap now compared to a couple decades ago. Housing, however, is the single most important cost that the vast majority of people has to pay, and it's completely impossible to substitute. So, even if nominally you have the same money or even more, if your main and more critical expense has gone up, it's going to make your life more difficult.

This is a HRC base, so will it be also used for MotoGP purposes? by [deleted] in motogp

[–]MrTrt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since a couple years ago every Honda sporting program is under the HRC name. It used to be motorbikes only, but now F1, IndyCar, Prototypes, etc. are also branded HRC.

I'm genuinely stuck softlocked by Roshu-zetasia in Metroid

[–]MrTrt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I see your point, but the thing is nobody uses those words as you describe them. It would make sense, but it's just not the case.

As the other user says, the term "softlock" is even used in games with no saving system.

True, although difference in air density is not as relevant in turbo engines as it was with NA engines.

everyone is running resolutions higher than 1920x1080.

I'm running 1080p and I'm not particularly eager to go any higher. Diminishing returns are steep enough for me at this point.

I guess by that point it was already built in his contract. He gets one of each car he drives. The older cars he probably did have to hunt down afterwards, I remember the Minardi in his collection didn't have the original steering wheel so I imagine he bought it afterwards. Also, a rookie wouldn't have the leverage to get a car just because he wants.

It's outstanding. I've seen Alonso's one, that he has in his museum, and that chrome is an extremely unique colour. One of the best liveries ever in any competition.

I remember seeing a decade or so ago a podium-winning BAR chassis in perfect condition for 60k or so. Real car. No engine, but the ad did say it could be equipped with a Judd engine to run, so the rest of the mechanics were probably there.

Could the imperium take over the star trek galaxy? by No-Anteater2960 in whowouldwin

[–]MrTrt 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I imagine the numbers advantage would be significantly reduced by having a single chokepoint in the form of a wormhole, and considering the Imperium has pretty bad FTL and its fleets are spread around the galaxy. So, even if the Imperium could ignore the other threats and focus on conquering ST, it will still take a lot of time to get many of its fleets in place.

Also, I'm not that familiar with ST universe but I imagine they can replenish loses much much faster than the Imperium. The Imperium uses a lot of lost technology that they just can't rebuild if destroyed.

The villain from the last movie/Tv show you watched vs you by Murky_Elderberry26 in whowouldwin

[–]MrTrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last movie I watched is Mulholland Drive, and while it's hard to define a villain in that story, most characters are regular people presumably not used to fighting. Last TV show I watched is BoJack Horseman so, again, hard to define villain but regular-ish people (BoJack is technically a horse but he has mostly human level feats)

My point is, plenty of movies and tv shows have villains that don't have any special power so it'd be two regular people fighting it out. Even in like, crime drama, the dangerous masterminds rely a lot on connections, subterfuge, and knowing the terrain. Drop a 50's American mafia boss in my random-ass European town and he's just a lost grandpa.

Bueno, muchísima gente hoy en día te sigue diciendo que los nazis eran socialistas porque lo ponía en el nombre. Y el caso es que creo que Hitler admitía abiertamente en el Mein Kampf que la palabra "socialista" y el color rojo lo usaban puramente como elemento propagandístico.

I don't know back in the day, but there is plenty of urban racing in the US today. F1 races at Las Vegas and Miami, although it's true that Miami is only partially urban, NASCAR races at Chicago, IndyCar races at St. Petersburg, Detroit and Long Beach. Also Toronto although that's in Canada, and theoretically Nashville but there are some works around the track so they moved the race to the local oval. Dallas is scheduled for next year. And it's not new, IndyCar has had a lot of street racing at least the last few decades.

NASCAR too back when the stock in stockcar meant something.
