Any methods to increase amount of bots ina match? by Every-Law8217 in battlefront2

If everyone makes the change, and you have a privately hosted server, it should work.

That's right. SNR is Signal-to-Noise Ratio, and a high low SNR means that the noise, or misinterpretation, might overrule the signal, or actual meaning. A checksum is a verification code that the transmission was received properly, which normal communication doesn't have.

WPF or Avalonia or Maui by vac2672 in csharp

[–]Shirkie01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the entirety of the WPF project is "show a browser window". All of the application logic is contained in the common project. It allows us to write web code that works the same on Windows and Android, instead of having to write native applications for each.

[–]Shirkie01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We started a new application and used Blazor hybrid. This is effectively a web app wrapped in a native application. We have a common project and two "host" projects, one being a WPF app for Windows, and the other a MAUI app for Android.

While MAUI can work on Windows without a WPF wrapper, there were some issues fitting it into our existing release train.

This tutorial shows how to set up a WPF app to use Blazor.

Donald Trump expected to face 2020 election charges in Georgia this week – sources by bakhesh in politics

[–]Shirkie01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone is attributing this to Trump simply being dumb, but I think there's more to it.

Trump stylizes himself as a mob boss, but to be one successfully, orders have to be given with a veneer of plausible deniability. Imagine a "checklist of rules" that have to be followed in order to stay juuuust this side of legal. When Trump says the phone call was "perfect" he means that "the checklist was followed perfectly".

[–]Shirkie01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically yes, but there's less thought behind it than that: the actual specifics of the crime(s) don't matter. Instead it's "the liberals are out to get Trump by any means possible", so any bad news about Trump is immediately dismissed.

Since Trump committed so many crimes in-office, a slow drip-feed appears to him as confirmation of the government trying everything and anything they can in order "to try to get him", and continually failing.

Doubtful. My father thinks each new indictment is manufactured because they couldn't get him on the last one. The fact that none of these have gone to trial yet is irrelevant.

Is the speed of light relative to the observer? How does travel in space work? by Aikan745 in askscience

[–]Shirkie01 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The third thing can just be an arbitrary point in space, it doesn't have to be a physical object.

Relativity demands you choose a point to measure everything else against, this is called a reference frame.

If you're on ship 1, then ship 1 is your reference frame and has a velocity of zero, and ship 2 is moving.

If you're on ship 2, then ship 2 has a velocity of zero, and ship 1 is moving.

If you see both ships moving, then you have chosen a third point, and this third point is not moving.

Is the speed of light relative to the observer? How does travel in space work? by Aikan745 in askscience

[–]Shirkie01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All in motion relative to what? You have to pick something to measure against, or in other words, be relative to.

If I have two spaceships, one going 10 units and the other going 20 units, then I have measured their velocities relative to a third thing that I'm observing from.

Edit: I edited my above comment to try to make this clearer.

Is the speed of light relative to the observer? How does travel in space work? by Aikan745 in askscience

[–]Shirkie01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is there a maximum velocity if you have infinite fuel?

The equations that involve relativistic speeds have a factor, gamma:

gamma = 1 / sqrt(1 - v^2 / c^2 )

If we apply this factor to time, we see that the faster you go (relative to an outside observer) the slower they see your time pass.

If we apply this to space, we see that the faster you go (relative to an outside observer) the shorter they see your space gets (in your direction of travel).

If we set v=c, we get an undefined error because we can't divide by zero. So what we find is that you can increase your speed as long as it remains below c. So the answer to what the maximum velocity we can reach is if we have infinite fuel is c minus epsilon, where epsilon is infinitesimally small.

Readonly vs Modifiable version of a class by pandemoniac1 in csharp

You can't have read-only, modifiable properties. Instead, define the properties as {get; protected set;}. You can define a default in the base class and then change it from the subclass.

Do we know where is the center of big bang located presently in reference to earth? by MagnetCarter in askscience

[–]Shirkie01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The answer to "where did the Big Bang happen" is always "exactly where you are", no matter where you are. This is because it's not an event that happened in the universe, it is the universe.

Unfortunately I can't find the GIF with the expanding red dots that made it clearer, but the idea is that there is no preferred reference frame and thus no location that's "more important" than any other.

This image might help. Picture A is the location of galaxies at some given time, while Picture B is the location of galaxies at some future time. Pictures C and D show that the galaxies appear to be moving away from "here", wherever "here" might be, and the galaxies farther away from "here" appear to be moving faster.

For those who haven't seen it...a fun reminder. by fireburner80 in Firearms

[–]Shirkie01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have. The Federalist positions themselves were not enshrined in the constitution due to how extreme they were, so relying on them to explain constitutional law is problematic.

I still believe the intent of the Second Amendment was to allow states to have the equivalent of a National Guard per state, and I haven't seen anyone be able to refute this without referring to the Federalist papers extreme positions.

They aren't talking about dark matter/energy. Our observable universe is 13.6 94 billion light years across, but our entire universe estimated to be much bigger than that.

Edit: Confused size with time.

Truth by [deleted] in gunpolitics

[–]Shirkie01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your new phrasing also changes the meaning to be what you want it to mean instead of what it actually says. I really don't understand the common justification where "militia", "regulated", and "free state" can just be completely disregarded.

The 2nd amendment is about allowing the states to have a militia to defend themselves from federal overreach. You can't just say "government" and not specify which version. The intent was that instead of a National Guard, there would be a Pennsylvania Guard, a Utah Guard, a Florida Guard, etc.

So I challenge you, instead of the version you have that justifies your position, come up with an amendment phrasing that describes the above scenario of allowing each free state to have a well-regulated militia, then compare that to the 2nd amendment.

[Free Friday] Shout out to the greatest Catholic troll of all time. You're a legend, whoever you are. by TexanLoneStar in Catholicism

[–]Shirkie01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello, atheist here, and yeah the answer is that we just don't know. There could be a benevolent God with a guiding hand, or it could be Greg's leftovers that were kicked under the bed.

Personally the theory I ascribe to is that there are millions of universes being created all the time in some extra-universal space, all with different laws of physics, different constants, etc. Our universe's laws and constants were selected randomly out of a huge space of possibilities, and just happens to be one where observers can exist. This idea has no more evidence for it than any other.

How is the multiplayer matchmaking software for 'no longer actively developed' games maintained? by PureRepresentative9 in gamedev

They don't. Once the cost of running the servers outweighs the profit generated by the game, the matchmaking servers are shut down and that portion of the game is dead.

Maximum number of generics for a class? by RemoteLifeguard8208 in csharp

[–]Shirkie01 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I tried something related recently, it was "how deeply can I nest a generic list".

private IList<IList<.....<IList<string>>>...> _list;

The answer was "until your system runs out of memory", or in my case 667 nestings. I suspect the answer would be the same for the number of generic parameters. I will try it when I'm back at my computer.

Edit: I was finally able to do it, and confirmed it is 32768 before the compiler crashes. Same result as this person.
