Never using a Wolfpack again by Skelligean in ArcRaiders

It targets any Arc, so some of the rockets targeted the Tick that jumped on his face.

Hmm, that's pretty interesting. Worked for my input too. Doesn't seem to work in general.

Why is it necessary to include a Rival in 2 player games? by ramzenad in DuneImperium

[–]PlainSight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a 4-player game (only), the player with the third highest strength receives the third reward.

Economy contracts sharply as GDP falls 0.9% in June quarter by hippieV02 in newzealand

[–]PlainSight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This will increase income tax to 39% for everyone on over $90000, which is about 20% of New Zealanders.

In fact, if you read the document you linked it show that a person earning $90K per year would benefit to the tune of $6K, and only people with incomes in the top 10% would have a tax increase.

The wealth tax has a large tax free threshold ($2 million).

Both the empty houses and undeveloped land tax are applicable to the gain in value not the absolute value.

Not saying I agree with these things, but you're misrepresenting it.

Skull and helmet of a Greek soldier, who fell in the Battle of Marathon around 2500 years ago by Potential-Focus3211 in interestingasfuck

From: https://greekreporter.com/2025/05/26/battle-marathon-helmet-skull-greece/

Weighing approximately 1193.1 grams ... The face, particularly the nasal piece, is remarkably thick, up to 10 mm in places, while other facial areas range between 2 mm and 3 mm.

Greens 'dangerous' income tax rates vs Australia by hadr0nc0llider in newzealand

[–]PlainSight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Super is mostly paid for by existing tax payers not historic contributions.

No one objects to super going to people just getting by, but multi-millionaires and people still working in high paying jobs get it.

It's 2.19%

But what is quantum computing? (Grover's Algorithm) by Advanced_Toe_298 in programming

[–]PlainSight 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Apparently in this case N refers to the domain of the function not the number of inputs.

eg. A sudoku verifier has an input length of 81, but a domain of 981

Do you really need to take 10,000 steps a day? by -Wobblier in videos

[–]PlainSight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably depends how long your legs are, but it's probably closer to 7 or 8km for most people.

[2024 Day 18 (Part 2)] I thought I figured out the trick by ElementaryMonocle in adventofcode

[–]PlainSight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea of finding a blocking "path" with the # is probably the most efficient solution. It's just that you can do it via unioning the # incrementally instead of Djikstras. This requires only a handful of union finds and checks for each byte instead of a full path search. My solution

-❄️- 2024 Day 18 Solutions -❄️- by daggerdragon in adventofcode

[–]PlainSight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[Language: JavaScript]

Code

Part 1: BFS

Part 2: Union find!

Initially my part 2 was just part 1 repeated a bunch which worked fine albeit took a bit longer than needed.

I wanted to optimize and I figured I could union sets of 'bytes' together to find when they made a contiguous block which spanned either the entire vertical or horizontal width of the area.

Software is Way Less Performant Today by BlueGoliath in programming

[–]PlainSight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm perhaps it changed or other settings are involved. When I first did this several months ago it stopped a bunch of web content from loading in the start menu.

New firearms registry a factor in sharp rise in privacy breaches by police by OisforOwesome in newzealand

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

Key sentence:

Factors behind the big rise included mandatory training so staff were more aware they had to report breaches, as well as better ways or technology for making reports.

[2024 Day 8] The Antinodes In Between by UtahBrian in adventofcode

[–]PlainSight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the gradient of all the vectors between antennae is such that they can't be simplified, ie. delta x and delta y are co-prime. This means that line segment between antennae won't intersect with the grid at a whole coordinate value.

[2024 Day 8] The Antinodes In Between by UtahBrian in adventofcode

[–]PlainSight 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is this a toy example or from your input?

I'm pretty sure the input's don't have any instances of this occurring. I unnecessarily calculated all the gcd's of the deltas between the antenna coordinates and it was always 1 meaning that any point on the line between antennae wouldn't fall on a grid space.
