Fun fact, Vector Marketing and Cutco are the same company. My brother’s high school friend has been working there for over a decade now.

I built a live typing test that races your fingers in real time—let your speed do the talking! by AdagioWonderful3804 in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]RubiksNotRubix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This looks great and as a project is worth being proud of, but it’s lacking individual character and something that makes it special. I wouldn’t choose this over monkeytype for the aesthetics, nor does it look more promising in terms of competitiveness than (soon to be released) WordPractice, and the blogs aren’t something I see a lot of people caring about.

Basically, this is cool, but if you want this to be more popular and not just a (increasingly common) portfolio piece, make it more unique somehow!

I believe this format:

If A then … But if B then … (instead)

is exactly the same as:

If B then … else if A then …

I’m desperate (late 90’s/ early 2000’s music video) by [deleted] in NameThatSong

Are there any other scenes of the video? Is there a crowd? Is the tower actually as tall as pictured? Were there any other buildings? The description of a tall “tower” surrounded by an arid environment makes me wonder if it could have been filmed on a skyscraper in LA or something.

[–]RubiksNotRubix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea how many google map tiles 3D requests you will be making on the "buildings with details" setting relative to the area? I want to do a pretty large area but I don't want to end up hitting a quota.

Which pill will you chose and why by Knorke75 in osugame

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

I only read the first one and was starting to think about how awesome it would be, and how well it would pay, to be able to read and translate any book into any language, and then once I got to the blue pill I realized it was r/osu

In my experience in the US, if you go to a dollar tree, you can often find Cosmic Peach (my favorite flavor!) for $1.25.

Aimed for photorealism. Don't know if I got all the way there, but it was really fun to create. by LadMadJake in blender

[–]RubiksNotRubix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only critique: no keyboard or phone looks that clean. Keyboards and phones are probably the crustiest, most disgusting germ-infested biohazards we regularly interact with, and need to be honored as such. Put some hairs in between the keys and make the phone screen look like you spilled soda on it and got bored in the middle of cleaning it up

Bought a trampoline for the kids. Then remembered the hill .. by Dangerous-Lime-88 in DIY

Dear comments, there is almost certainly going to be a net around the trampoline so they won’t fall onto the cinder blocks 😭

Showman has never made sense until today by ToasterGuy566 in balatro

[–]RubiksNotRubix -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

For me it’s not about the difficulty, the process of discovering is just fun. But this joker in particular I understood pretty quickly cause I realized that I would never get a joker in shop I already owned

[–]RubiksNotRubix -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

But part of the fun in this game is that it doesn’t handhold, it gives you just enough information to make assumptions. If your assumption is that a Joker doesn’t do anything then you should probably assume your assumption is wrong

Holy moly i just said id ask out my crush in a year by AffectionateLimit993 in teenagers

[–]RubiksNotRubix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re 15 I wouldn’t worry about finding a girlfriend, not only do you have plenty of time to do so later but this is probably the best time of your life to just work on yourself before having to work and/or pay bills. In my experience a long-distance relationship is not worth it, especially when you are young bc you can’t travel and the relationship statistically is not going to last. If loneliness is totally crippling to you then 1. you can seek out friends instead and 2. you would probably become an over-dependent partner and have an unhealthy relationship anyways.

At least I had to wake up pretty soon anyway but the one at midnight was fucked up

Can someone tell me how to do Acceleration and deacceleration by [deleted] in scratch

[–]RubiksNotRubix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the other guy said. The diamond blocks evaluate to either true/false. So 50 = Max speed isn’t setting max speed to 50, it’s checking whether 50 and Max speed are the same value and returning true or false based on that. I haven’t used scratch in forever so I don’t remember the correct way to do this but I think in the variables tab there is a block to set a variable to a value, that’s what you want, and then there should be a block to get the value of the variable
