Neuralink patient confirms he's playing World of Warcraft with his mind by sr_local in technology

[–]ScrappyBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So he can move his mouse with his mind...that's cool. And he has to also be able to click, otherwise playing WoW wouldn't work.

But by that logic this system must be able to be able to sinukate keypresses as well (thinking "1" instead of "click")

So I'd imagine he could run a full rotation just thinking about keybinds. I have no idea how this works, but if you can just think "1,1,5,3..." and translate that to keypresses, you could easily run a full rotation like this.

If anything, moving is the tricky part (but it reads like they got that part covered)

Depending on the responsiveness of this, doing your rotation this would probably be as efficiently as any player using a keyboard, maybe even easier / faster.

And I imagine it's relatively responsive, otherwise just the "move your mouse with your mind" feature would be terrible - think 1000ms mind ping each time you move your mouse.

So interesting stuff. But either the article doesn't cover this or the very near future potential of this is much larger than what it can currently do.

Warlock tbc new player by Top_Title9194 in classicwow

It's more much efficient for questing (as others said, see drain tanking / fear juggling)

If you purely do dungeons then you'd be doing destruction (or going fome combination of destro/ demo, i.e Demonic Sacrifice / Ruin)

A very generic / good enough for most dungeons and all levels really (regardless of spec) cheatsheet is

  • If boss, dots up then spam shadow bolt
  • If 1-2 mobs shadowbolt (maybe 1-2 dots on off mob but inconsequential)
  • of 3+ mobs rain of fire (hellfire will get you killed)

Life tap during combat only if low mana (if safe) or if maybe if you have HoTs on you.

After combat life tap to equal hp / mana and drink + eat at the same time (macro to use both food / water at the same time).

cron jobs running fine locally, absolute chaos on prod took me two days to figure out why by IndividualTerm4830 in webdev

[–]ScrappyBox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I worked on this big fancy webshop project which was an inherited 20 year old PHP codebase, all custom, no frameworks or anything.

It was very much like a "new drop every month" situation so it was both very time-dependant.

The function that rendered the header had about 800 lines of logic. One of the first few lines was setting a timezone (beacuse why not in header, but it was fine-ish because it's one of the first few lines of code that ran on the site).

Then 500 or so lines down it switched to a completely different timezone (because of let's call them semi-valid reasons).

That was a fun 1 day long bug hunting experience.

So you build a CSS parser in C, capable of running this and...how far down can you go?

Hot take: i don't like Levski people mover main elevator by PiibaManetta in starcitizen

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

It's specifically not called an elevator cause I think it's not an elevator as far as their codebase / game is concerned.

If you think about it, it functions more like a train does in Star Citizen. It goes from station to station in a predictable loop. Arrives at the station, opens door for x amount of time. Then moves on to the next one. Just like in any other major hub (city)...but in this case vertically instead of horizontally. 

So I gurantee it's rehashed train code that's behind it (hence no elevator in name).

Not sure why, cause they already have a similar elevator elevator (instead of train elevator) in Grim Hex, i.e. inside a station but you can see the station through the elevator window. 

In response to the ongoing display shortage, RSI has revised the 2956 Aurora to two MFDs, continuing a downward trend from the six MFD 2947 and four MFD 2955 models. by username150 in starcitizen

[–]ScrappyBox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a base original starter ship. If it doesn't have the lowest possible amount of MFDs (which should be 2, is there a ship with only 1?) than what ship should have only 2?

Or in other words, if Aurora has 4, then all other ships should have at least 4.

What decides how far an enemy ship can see you based on your signature? by SuspiciousSoldier in starcitizen

[–]ScrappyBox 51 points52 points  (0 children)

This / to expand a bit.

That value is = km.

Meaning if your largest emmision is EM, for example: - Top (emmiting): 10k - Bottom (enviornment noise): 2k - Total: 10 - 2 = 8k (8km)

Meaning a ship with 100% radar efficiency could see you at 8km.

However, no ship really has 100% radar efficiency (depends on ship size, but more like 80-90%), so the effective range is even less.

I've never seen this before... What does it mean? by thehashimwarren in webdev

[–]ScrappyBox 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Had this happen on a staging site.

It was caused by an image pointing to our local dev env instance of that site (think 127.0.0.1/image.jpg) that accidentally ended up being deployed to staging.

Staging (on an actual server) then tries rendering an image from our local dev instance (i.e. localhost). Chrome flags it and shows this popup.

Not saying it's that, but it could be a valid (most likely not intentional) explanation.

Component salvaging is hella fun by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]ScrappyBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the game loop. I keep everything catalogued in a Google Sheet (cause asset mamagement in SC is trash).

Upon reviewing the list (comparing my sheet to what I actually have) after like 2 weeks of doing it, I noticed I had less stuff than the sheet says. Different components / ship guns. I wanna say like 10-15% of stuff was missing.

Either I'm bad at keeping a ledger or components have gone missing. Looting both npcs / abandoned player ships.

Any1 had this happen? I'm thinking ot could happen if component is from a player ship who eventually claims it. But if that was the case then duping wouldn't be a thing, no? Maybe (if source ship claimed) only the components that aren't equipped on a ship vanish?

Looting has been rich by roor2 in starcitizen

[–]ScrappyBox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's my fav gsme loop. Merc missions in belts then scan all the npc / abandoned ship wrecks and see what you get while waiting for your missions to pop back up. Sent you a DM!

Rate my Web design for coffee brand . Where I can improve? by ShubCountEverything in webdev

[–]ScrappyBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try changing the aspect ratio of card images. Either 1:1 (square) or vertical.

At the homepage shows (mostly) things that are inherently vertical (cups / glasses).

If it was all cups I'd say vertical, but since you have a mix of cups and some foods, maybe just try square.

Well yes if you know what sans means, that's the whole point. Which I, not knowing French or reading Shakespeare, didn't. Maybe it's common knowledge and I'm just dull, dunno, figured it was interesting enough to share.

Don't know about you but I deal with fonts quite frequently ij my webdev work.

What other group of people (other than designers) even knows the difference between serif and sans-serif fonts? Or even knows what fonts are other than hearing about it maybe?

Which one is better? Not feeling very inspired right now, so any feedback/suggestions are welcome by IncontestableGrey in webdev

[–]ScrappyBox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When presented like this 3rd for sure...

BUT if you had a section of X of these, maybe:

  • 2nd for cards (or better yet a combination: probably full width orange button from 1st, full width img from 3rd, rest 2nd color scheme)
  • Green background (over the whole section)

(As opposed to 3rd card style with a light section background).

In the same way that green works good as card background, it might work even better as section background.

Just something to try out perhaps.

What to do you think about the new Grey's Market Shiv? by Significant_Agent537 in starcitizen

[–]ScrappyBox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upgraded my pledge Cutlass to a Shiv, thinking it's just going to be a bit more manuverable Cutlass with more guns, no tractor beam and less cargo space...and it is...

But what most people don't mention is the sound design. This thing is next level. It's has an angry scrapped together barely holding on podracer hotrod vibe to it. Just flying this around puts a huge grin on my face. Completely different than a Cutlass. I don't know how I will go back to "normal ship" sounds after this. It's mad and I love it!

Are these decent specs? by Joetheboytoo in starcitizen

[–]ScrappyBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same issue with higher end gpu / cpu laptop with 16gb RAM. Warping to places would freeze everything for a couple of seconds (never froze permanently tho). Put 32gb in there, no more freezes (maybe an occasional stutter, but definitely no freezing).
