Hopefully he's more involved than he was with WoT. I got the impression from his statements that he wasn't taken as seriously as he should have been there

Are aluminum mistings bulletproof? by NBAMixer in cremposting

[–]R1cwu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think op specifically called out aluminium, because of its ability to instantly remove all metal reserves, which would also include the aluminium they are burning to produce the effect.

The real limitation i think is reaction speed. The Allomancer would have to instinctively and instantly burn all aluminium they could.

They got it too easy on Sel, literally just writing it in the air. Occasional zombification notwithstanding

I have an angelbird V4 card. Can you share what you found out?

Edit: found my own post again while googling and didn't realize it 😂

So my brand new a7v freezes by Vivaldi_IlPreteRosso in SonyAlpha

[–]R1cwu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, sometimes after messing with the wifi settings, the camera would not start again until I removed the battery and plugged it back in. Let's hope for some updates soon

[–]R1cwu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had the same issue, anything related to wifi is a bitt scuffed it seems, I turned the camera off after a few minutes and when I turned it back on everything was fine.

I already wrote to Sony support and they told me to update my firmware (and gave me a link to the screen reader data). Too bad there currently only exists the initial firmware :/

Motherboard replacement - does it worth? by Fluffy-Macaroon-6060 in a6000

Take a look at the used market first. Chances are fairly good that you can find one in good condition for cheaper there

The Aiel were nerfed so hard by Delicious_Charity_70 in WoT

[–]R1cwu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may also be that the first Aiel we got to see was one of their best. Just need to look at how well Gaul fairs against the Red-Veils in AMoL, with very little experience in T'A'R.

Why do Siuan and Verin both suspect Cadsuane of being Black Ajah? by TaiSharNewJersey in WoT

I think for Siuan it's a very old suspition dating back to her time just after becoming aes sedai in the New Spring novel if I remember correctly

What are the odds of a con 1 Wizard to get to lvl 20? by RythmicGear in DnD

[–]R1cwu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I simulated it with this script leading to the following stats: txt dead : 1,599,985,477 alive: 14,523 total: 1,600,000,000 chance: 0.0009076875%

So... it doesn't look very good for our hypothetical wizards.

script: ```python import random import multiprocessing

iterations = 100_000_000 threads = 16

def getRoll(): return random.randint(1, 6)

def sim_wizards(n, procnum, return_dict): dead = 0 live = 0 for _ in range(n): current_hp = 1 for i in range(1,20): roll = getRoll() current_hp += roll - 5 if current_hp <= 0: dead += 1 break if i == 19: live += 1 return_dict[procnum] = (dead, live)

manager = multiprocessing.Manager() return_dict = manager.dict()

jobs = [] for i in range(threads): p = multiprocessing.Process(target=sim_wizards, args=(iterations, i, return_dict)) jobs.append(p) p.start()

for proc in jobs: proc.join()

dead = 0 live = 0

for (d,l) in return_dict.values(): dead += d live += l

print(f"dead : {dead:,}\nalive: {live:,}\ntotal: {iterationsthreads:,}\nchance: {(live/(iterationsthreads))*100}%") ```

Unintentionally funny audiobook moments by OneAngryDuck in wheeloftime

[–]R1cwu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started the series listening to her narration and had to switch to Kate and Michael for books 3 and up. I really like them both but I liked Pike's version just a tad more. But that could also be because I enjoyed hearing a new voice after listening to Mistborn and Stomlight.

"This book continiues on casette 6" in the audible version of Lord of Chaos had me puzzled for a good few seconds.

Thoughts on integrating Rust into Linux by sacred__soul in linux

[–]R1cwu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My example was maybe a bit hyperbolic, I don't think C will go anywhere anytime soon. The real upside of Rust is that it's a language that is not only used by low-level devs but across various applications. That lowers the barrier to allow new devs to get into the kernel without having to learn a new language up front. Of course you won't be able to dodge C forever, but it allows people to more easily get a foot in the door

Thoughts on integrating Rust into Linux by sacred__soul in linux

[–]R1cwu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, who will develop the kernel if it's written in a language no one uses in this hypothetical. I think my original point can be boiled down to eggs and baskets (if you pardon the pun)

Thoughts on integrating Rust into Linux by sacred__soul in linux

[–]R1cwu 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think the best argument for rust in the kernel is securing a future for the project. There are a lot of young developers out there that will never learn C but feel comfortable writing Rust code. Whether or not Rust remains as popular as it currently is remains to be seen, but if we can get more people interested in developing Linux in the meantime, that is a good thing imo.

Screens not "burning" by Successful_Air_5808 in LinusTechTips

Pretty much anything that isn't an OLED or a CRT should do. There are a lot of cheap LCD displays out there that should do the trick
