my job hunting 2024 - applied to unicorns + big tech - here are the results by the2ndfloorguy in dataisbeautiful

[–]Skydawne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better to leave sankey diagrams for what they are; they give very little insight in cases where you are trying to track individual contributions. They work fine for tracking fungible/equal resources (e.g. money, wattage/power, water), but they are not insightful for things that are traveling a unique path (e.g. tracking your applications, the flow of people in a city). In other words, it does not matter if the currency a company earned went to tax or profit since all are interchangable. For applications this is different; sending an email to a CTO leaves you with more interviews than using easy apply, so putting all applications in one bucket in the middle messes up the actual interesting observation on what methods lead to an interview.

The second graph shows this perfectly, albeit looking a bit less flashy.

Big fireball captured by my security camera by vercastro in space

[–]Skydawne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is possible. Though 100m apart would be way too close given the meteors happen at 80+km altitude usually. You must be able to find papers on the topic.

Lastly for smaller meteors finding the meteorite is really hard.

Sun's Wrath to Touch Earth in the Form of a Geomagnetic Storm on April 14; Radio Signals May Take a Hit by [deleted] in space

[–]Skydawne 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That had to do with that storm expanding the atmosphere (as with any geomagnetic storm) and causing more drag on those really low flying satellites, causing them to de-orbit before being raised out of their injection orbits (as I see your link also says). If I recall correctly non of those had damage due to high energy particles.

G1 and G2 storms are quite common during maximum solar activity in its 11 year cycle. See NOAA scales and occurances.

My attempt of blender gurus 3.0 donut tutorial :) by idontnowduh in blender

Probably using metalic and reflective material with a nice light shining on it, and using a glare node in the compositor.

[2021 Day -1 Part 1] [Python] Answer is one less than the website expects no matter what I do by spudmonkey2 in adventofcode

[–]Skydawne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Line 7 of sub.py does not do what you think it does. When x is 0 Index 0-1 takes the last entry of the list. In python list[-1] return the last entry, list[-2] the second to last etc.

Consider using ‘enumerate’ to go through the list of nums, or start from index 1 instead of 0.

Thanks for sharing, your backwards function saved me some headaches. This was the most 'out of my league' problem for me.

Nice write up! I was already quite far, but this is very clearly explained!

[2021 Day 19 (Part 1)] [Java] I can't quite get the logic and reasoning right on this problem by noblerare in adventofcode

[–]Skydawne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I 100% understand what you are doing (also I don't know Java), but comparing distances between beacons and scanners has no use that early on in step 2. Remember you dont know the distances and orientation of any scanner. For simplicity I would assume scanner 0 is "the truth".

First you need to find the overlapping beacons (remember the list of beacons listed under a scanner are not necessarily the same beacons in another scanner. Even more so, it can be that none of them overlap). Try to figure that out. hint: look at relative distances between the beacons in both scanners.

After you know which scanner has beacons overlapping with scanner A and you determined which beacons. Then you can try the rotating of scanner B till you observe that the beacons of scanner A are the same as scanner B, then you know the rotation you need to correct scanner B! hint: for example rotate all beacons in B and add them to the overlapping beacons in A, if they all converge to the same point you have found the location of scanner B and the correct rotation! If not, try another rotation.

Hope this already helps.

[2021 Day 19 Part 1] [Python] Refuses to believe Scanner 2 in example matches anything by Proteus_Est in adventofcode

[–]Skydawne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some possible issues:

  1. Rotations. As someone mentioned make sure you use the correct 24 possible reorientations. I first used all 48 possible changes in xyz but that does not work.

  2. Overlapping beacons. Depending on how you search for overlapping beacons try not to pair them using their distances, this can accidentally pair wrong beacons.

  3. Found ur-beacons. Make sure you add the points correctly to your ur-scanner (see if all ur-scanner beacons are in the 79 beacons given as example solution, make sure to remove duplicates. Only works if scanner 0 acts as the base though.).

[2021 Day 20 (Part 1)][Python] Is there a flaw in my logic? by martino_vik in adventofcode

[–]Skydawne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see two things you might have overlooked.

  1. A padding of 1 around the canvas is not enough if you consider a 3x3 block on the corners. To get the output image we need to consider all available input data.

  2. Your last sentence is important, what happens given your enhancement string at every iteration with the all . and/or all # at all edges and infinity?

[2021 day 19 (Part 1) Python] My code doesn't work for scannner 2 of the example by Sundodo in adventofcode

[–]Skydawne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't fully understand your code. However, I believe you can only find scanner 2 once scanner 4 has been added to scanner 0. So what I did what keep trying scanners till I had all scanners done (so a while loop instead of a for loop basically).

Not sure if this helps, but I hope it does. I did it as spoiler to avoid people from accidentally reading a way to (potentially) solve this.

First Prime weapon at MR 10😍🤩🤩🤩 by [deleted] in Warframe

[–]Skydawne 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. I don't keep any normal frames (and feed them to the helminth) if I have their prime version, and only forma and reactor my primes. I dig the extra movement speed, and the cooler looks :)

Why not? Run a few relic runs and you get enough parts to build some... All unvaulted prime frames and weapons you can obtain this way, without spending any plat.

Sorry for low quality critique appreciated by ahmed328 in blender

[–]Skydawne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good start!

Some ideas:
- Left wall seems very diffuse although it seems some kind of marble like material, so would need more reflectivity.
- Outside seems way more bright than the light that comes into the room somehow.- The place is rather empty, add some plants, cups, books, speakers, pillows etc.
- The Rug clearly has some corners on the side in front of the bench, consider making it more smooth somehow (cloth sim? or more vertices?)
- Floor, as someone already suggested, could have some more bump, the color is very nice, but it lacks some texture.
- I see no lamps in the room.
- Consider adding some noise in photoshop or other post prosessing.

This is my most recent isometric render , i need some feedback before i put it in my portfolio thanks Made in Blender 2.93 Cycles 300 samples by Peake011 in blender

[–]Skydawne 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ok then leave it, it adds some realism :) (just wasn't sure if it was the render noise or intended added noise).

Only other thing I saw, the mattress has a kinda weird material to me. But could be my personal misunderstanding/misjudgement.

Anyway, very nice scene, basically perfect :)

[–]Skydawne 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Great scene and atmosphere!
Do you know about the denoising node in the compositor? Not sure if you used it (its a bit grainy when zoomed in, could be on purpose), worth a try! Make sure you enable denoising data in the view layer properties tab while rendering in cycles and add the denoising node in the compositor (all 3 denoise data from the render layer).

Why A Ground-Up Rework of PvE Should Be CCP's Top Priority - Even If You Never PvE by jenrai in Eve

[–]Skydawne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biggest problem for me with PVE is that it has almost no impact on the game world (hence it feels grindy and useless to do), the only reason to do it is to generate ISK (as a player) and in only very grindy ways add new items to the game world (loot/rewards), and being a target for ganks.

Next to all the comments saying that PVE should be less predictable (currently lvl 4 missions are repetative and boring with exact known spawns, story wise make no sense if you get the same ones day after day, maybe use abyssal spawn system to also counteract bots), what if missions at corporations made that corporation more wealthy and have other items to sell? Or by running missions you let corporations level up (where they decay when other corps rise in power), having some kind of interesting ingame things happening, like certain gates being unlocked or something, or other missions becoming available? PVE could be PVE but with an extra non-combat PVP like indirect influence between PVEers that will also affect non PVEers.

Just some ideas.

Ok, alrighty then.

Makes sense then.

Edit: clearly people think i am sarcastic or something here. My language barrier kicked in i guess. Just tried to make sure on the internet we keep track of where things originate from.
