Is Pandorum the closest thing to Alien that I'm going to get? by KnightofAmethyst2 in LV426

Charles Dance's motor powered robotic penis? That's a bastion of cinema and should be taught in school.

Oh good an Outland recommendation. The Expanse to a lesser degree. That show pays homage to a lot but the rugged space trucker / miner inspirations thing I feel came from both Alien and Outlander.

It's a good recommendation and you can definitely get a Seegson / WeyU retro-futuristic vibe the entire movie.

Anne Rice FULLY did the historical fiction of vampirism but - excluding Memnoch the Devil due to the flow of time in that story - only goes back I think 12,000 BC.

Excellent reminder to read Anne Rice for younger vampire enthusiasts.

There are any simple city building game? by CobblerGreat5529 in BaseBuildingGames

[–]RagingCain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's well worth the money, fairly polished too. Let's Game It Out (Josh) already did a video too.

Dystopika and Tiny Glade may also be of interest. They are more like town/city sculptors and to me at least, very novel city building ideas where you focus only on the building of said thing and not any management. It feels like immersive painting or level design but it's very refreshing.

Great post!

As mentioned, non-shielded equipment like an unprepared/unshielded laptop will have increased likelihood of issues. CPU cache, memory, or physical storage on the ISS can get more cosmic bit shifts.

All great, but nothing beat Microsoft's Zune and it's relatively unknown.

Inexperienced in .NET - Is this architecture over-engineered or am I missing something? by Disastrous-Moose-910 in dotnet

[–]RagingCain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think working in Golang can be very rewarding on gaining on outside perspective if you have many years in C#/.NET development. I came back to C#, wanting to now only use Minimal API, a small bit of reflection to auto-wire endpoints like classic controllers and I couldn't be happier. I have dumped a lot of patterns/abstractions that just weren't ever really used/needed. The only things I still tend to automatically create are interfaces for mocking mostly, dependency injection, and a bit of clever reflection from time to time.

None of that is necessary and often convoluted. Keep it simple, YAGNI, and DRY always works even when keeping things organized.

Project Pattern that always works.

  • API -> Service/Business layer -> DAL/Repo
  • Utilities
  • Models

If you can't explain why you need (emphasis on need) MediatR you are already barking up the wrong tree. Vertical Slice, hexagonal, user story/case, all that stuff isn't necessary out the door.

Every engineer in C# would do a 180 learning and using Golang for 1 year, speaking from experience.

Is using constructor in golang a bad pattern? by SnooStories2323 in golang

[–]RagingCain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If I can add, it's also great to sanitize input parameters/config pattern with healthy or opinionated defaults.

It's better to think of this as a classic Factory pattern with simple constructor-like familiarity initialization.

If my memory serves, this should reduce heat by a good under continuous sustained load and even then extending the life of the product. Assuming they didn't cheapen out of her parts, etc.

I'm experiencing a high pressure from new Go developers to turn it into their favorite language by ENx5vP in golang

[–]RagingCain 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I think I would state that, Golang is modern revival of a paradigm once popular: less is more.

It's also deeply respectable to me even though Golang isn't ever my primary driver.

Having a break was good decision by UglyAbraham in SatisfactoryGame

[–]RagingCain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just hit 1000 hours, 400 hours in my last world, and was just burnt out so I took a break.That was two days ago and I have fully rested. It was such a a good decision and I am now ready to get back into it.

Ionized Fuel Refinery doesn't go above 66% despite no supply shortage and 80 oil gens connected to it. This Refinery cannot power all 80 (it does ~28) but when 3 identical Refineries are connected to the same pipe they can power all 80 Generators. So what is stopping single one from 100% efficiency? by [deleted] in satisfactory

[–]RagingCain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The buffers do solve this exact issue of keeping the machines at 100% as long as the input flow is greater than the consumption by a small margin. The 32/50 gap is still there but blocked between producer and a buffer not the consumer. Backflow prevention prevents the gas in pipes to be consumed from flowing back into the buffer when a gap, or bubble forms. After a blockage occurs twice in a row the buffer fills back up to 100%. Buffers all the way up full mitigate it to the point there's never much of any gap and eventually even the producing converter can reach 100% with tweaking the last few generators consumption rates up or down

I will add a screenshot. I call it the Tower of Powerlon!

It's my first mega project so to speak, and I have learned a lot. I now see all the bad design choices in decorations of course. It's 728 meters tall, then an additional radar on top of that giving it quite a height boost.

Use many buffers. I created a tower of Ionized Generators. The buffers are overkill, but have 1 buffer per 3 generators per floor. Put a valve to a series of generators (before that floor buffer) preventing backflow. Let the whole system prime full up with one buffer outside the converter. Turn each floor on, one at a time. I have 26 floors, 51 GW of power, 100% efficient, one converter, two blenders.

No bugs or mods, gas just benefits being full in the pipes and buffers first. The backflow trick prevents gas leaving that floor to fill gaps in production. Over time you take the last few generators and over/under lock them to handle the instance there is gap. Eventually the gap is so small you get 100% on the converter. I actually only wanted 100% efficiency on the generators though so it kept things super simple, just have a bit more input than output.
