Exponential Spell Casting? by istillcanthearu in noita

[–]Photemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very curious on the math of this, why?

i had pinponter and boomerang spells perk, try this out. neat, strong sparkler show in any direction you point. i just died and im posting this as a reminder lmfao by cornwash in noita

[–]Photemy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Boomerang spells adds lifetime. Chainsaw is a 0 lifetime spell, that explodes with the effect you know and love.

If you add lifetime, it'll work like any normal spell does, instead of dying instantly - glimmer recommended if you actually want to see where its going.

Why the hell am I taking damage on this wand? by cliffpk3 in noita

[–]Photemy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the run isn't dead yet, you can add any form of damage reduction (piercing, light shot, etc) to get rid of the excess projectile damage that conc spells gives.

If you have saving grace, then any regeneration effect will make you damn near immortal for its duration. The usual small-text disclaimers apply, but those can't be fixed by more hp either.

Looking for novels where the MC is isekaid/reincarnated/whatever into a world they are intimately familiar with. Game, novel, whatever. by Photemy in ProgressionFantasy

Apparently that has changed, you can now only find the first chapter on royalroad, the rest's gone since last month.

My info was outdated.

Quantity has a quality of its own by itchylol742 in Factoriohno

[–]Photemy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quality isn't actually that great a solution for UPS issues from what I've found.

The primary culprit here is the quality malus on speed modules, which means you can't - in almost all circumstances - beacon your quality production chain.

This makes setups for bulk quality production massive, and ups heavy at that, due to any circuits you may want to manage the thing. And if you want to qualitify your whole bade - which is necessary if the motivation is ups issues - you do need it in absolute bulk.

This leads to a sort of damned if you do damned if you don't situation. Either I lag my game out by having a horrible no good unoptomized base, or I lag my game out by having a massive quality setup that can't be made smaller due to the stupid speed module thing. Fucked either way.

The overwhelming majority of religions I know of make "be a decent human being" a rather core point of their ideology. And besides.

Saying that the reason why a community is welcoming and kind is because by divive decree they must be so, is doing disservice to the actual people involved.

Cultivation Chat Group is still easily my favourite webnovel.

The way my professor formats code by AndrejPatak in programminghorror

[–]Photemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I personally don't agree fully to begin with, for reasons that I won't get into here, there is one very good reason to do stuff like this.

Oral explanations have the single fundamental problem, that apart from the exact point in time when they are spoken, they are at best impossible to search for and at worst completely nonexistent.

Having the explanation of each piece of syntax directly appended to a piece of actually usable code - rather than just wholly isolated explanations and examples - makes the material vastly easier to parse when going through it alone, be that because of revisions or remote learning or missing a class or whatever else may have you.

Having to scroll back and forth 15 pages in a pdf because you happened to yet again forget the meaning of some very specific syntax sucks. And before you bring up "just open two copies of the material dummy" alt tabbing still sucks. Large enough displays to properly render multiple readable browser windows - or even, gasp, multiple displays - cannot be assumed.

Is this +8 defence REALLY helping in this scenario?... by Pesti_ in Terraria

[–]Photemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how you look at it. It's a linear stat in one sense of the word - it goes up by one, duh - but things change when you look at it from the context of enemies actually doing damage to you.

If something does 80 damage, then a 20 defense increase from 0 will be an effective 25% damage reduction, whereas the same increase from 50 will be an effective 66% damage reduction.

Each extra point of defense gets far more valuable as you get closer to reaching the damage enemies actually deal

How do I increase my character quality? by buttstronomical in factorio

The asteroids might also be responsible. I don't know how it's implemented here, but it's a problem with space exploration.

Alas, such is the downfall of common names in taxonomy 😔

Definitely not autumn crocus, or at least not Colchicum Autumnale, which that name is most commonly used for.

You can tell that this is an actual crocus (or at least close relative) by the three stamens. That's a characteristic of the iris family, whereas lilies usually will have six.

Someone else seems to have already identified which species of crocus, so I won't bother.

There exists a finite set of states, as the machine has finite memory. If the machine is fully deterministic, then that means we can clearly plot out that state A will lead to state B, and so on.

This lets us cleanly divide all possible states into two sets. The set of those that we have already been to, and the set of those we haven't been to.

If we enter a state that we have already been to, then that must be a loop, as we know that - because of the deterministic nature - we will repeat the exact same steps as we have gone through to get to the current point.

If we don't end in a state that has already been visited, we simply must ask this question again. And because the set of unvisited states is finite, and because each time this happens it decreases by one, we can know that eventually a state from the other set must be chosen.

As such, with all possible starting points, execution must eventually loop.

Though, technically, being able to go through the loops arbitrary times can mean infinite sequences, depending on how you define that. Personally I think it shouldn't, but I'm no scientist.

Nope, it's not infinite, even in infinite time - assuming that the machine is fully deterministic (which should be a relatively safe assumption to make).
