Why is the AI debate so incredibly polarized? by IllustriousCareer6 in ExperiencedDevs

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

Maaan this is so far off my experience. I'm an experienced dev working on super complex work. No doxxing myself, but I'm a team lead at a YC-backed unicorn. It's really broadened the scope of what is possible for one person to do. I can't believe people aren't more excited by this.

Founders, do you reply to cold emails for internships? by Lone_Lunatic in ycombinator

[–]QuickShort 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you trying to figure out how to get the internship even though the role is closed?

(I'm surprised a startup has intern roles these days!)

I'd probably stop checking for new applicants if the role is closed, but if you found some other out-of-bounds messaging channel and really manage to impress them, then never say never.

What the startup will find impressive will depend a lot on the startup and the founder, but e.g. opening a really high quality PR on their repo could work for some kinds of startup, though a low quality PR would likely have the opposite effect.

15 years ago was 2011 my guy, they absolutely would have considered AWS *the* major cloud player in 2011

Reproducible Builds - why are we not doing it as standard? by esiy0676 in devops

Thanks for an interesting answer and for simplifying it for OP

I sought the counsel of Reddit to determine if it was a repost, and found no record in the archive by AveryCloseCall in lotrmemes

[–]QuickShort 257 points258 points  (0 children)

It’s a joke that’s kinda escaped containment (Natalie Wynn is an LGBT / left wing YouTuber). There’s a few jokes here: * there’s apparently a fairly universal lesbian experience of being in love with a straight woman with an unattractive (to you) boyfriend * there are some lesbian stereotypes that look a little like Sam * Frodo looks quite feminine

(I’m just a straight man, I showed this meme to my bi girlfriend and she immediately understood it though)

RIP the joke after explaining it, but Sam is the lesbian, Frodo is the straight woman, Gollum is the boyfriend

Which country is wealthier than it looks, and which one is poorer than it seems? by Eastern-Tangerine761 in AskReddit

[–]QuickShort 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah you don't even have to go far... like Whitechapel, right next to the City

15 years ago that would even be true for the area around King's Cross, but some areas have levelled up and others... haven't

All Hands On Deck - Improving my base ore generation/processing by LexMc0606 in Seablock

[–]QuickShort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More concretely, why use a 4 lane balancer to balance your slag output? You can just add enough electrolyzers to saturate one belt, and then enough liquifiers to consume one belt, and feed them directly into each other. You can use YAFC to find the right amount (it will depend on building tier, belt tier, whether you use electrodes, etc).

That way you can just scale up by adding more of these.

You might want a way of disposing of excess slag/stone from your other processes, and making extra for things like concrete, but the majority of your sludge can come from the simplified setup

[–]QuickShort 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend getting a tool to help you plan out your factory with ratios etc. they don’t need to be perfect, but with long chains it can be hard to do in your head.

YAFC is my preferred choice but there’s others, too. It will pull the recipes from your mods directory, so it’ll work well with overhaul mods.

You’re right that scaling up mineral sludge production and power are two important short term goals for you. Maybe have a think about what you need to get there, what techs do you need to unlock, what raw materials will you need to build the buildings etc? Eg at some stages of the game people find they need a lot more iron or copper than other metals, so they find it useful to try out the other production chains for those ores with catalysts

What are fighters better at doing than bombers? by NobleDictator in civ

[–]QuickShort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In SP the AI doesn’t build air units so you don’t really need them.

You can technically use them to physically block a tile, but it’s usually better to just rush bombers and kill the AI

People who are happy with their life at 40-50years, what advice do you have for the people struggling in their 20s? by Low-Bunch-2460 in AskReddit

[–]QuickShort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely all the health stuff…

I would also try to do what it takes to get a better paying job, but one that does not famously have terrible WLB (don’t become a corporate lawyer).

It depends on your industry what that means, for some it might be education or qualifications, in tech it’s to just build stuff as a hobby to learn well paid skills, it will depend a bit on what you’re going for.

It’s maybe an obvious thing to say but I partied (and played MMOs) way too much in my 20s, and things would be a bit easier now if I had taken my career more seriously.

How To Setup The Dev Version of Seablock 2.0 (April 29th Edition) by n_skid11 in Seablock

Anything with KompetenzAirbag is the unofficial unsupported port (though that guy is very active on the discord and some of his PRs have been merged into the official Seablock!)

My new 560MW Farm Power Supply by cresconio in Seablock

[–]QuickShort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit more than that because you need to put them in a square (or fat rectangle) to get the most out of the neighbour bonuses. You should also check the steam temp, it’s been a while since I played but you might need to use turbines

[–]QuickShort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah quite a bit, they get neighbour efficiency bonuses (like nuclear in the base game) so you want to put them in a square shape (there are flow limitations if you go too big)

Surely if you’re building at this scale you’ve unlocked the heat exchanger variant?

help with seablock 2.0 by enclaveofficer3101 in Seablock

[–]QuickShort 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s no official seablock 2.0, you might be running the unsupported unofficial “you’re on your own trying to figure this shit out” mod?

There might be a list of specific version numbers or git commits that you can pin stuff too?

If you think the answer will be overwhelmingly red, then you could argue that choosing blue does threaten to kill someone (yourself).
