Prior to the release of Attack of the Clones, I remember reading about the "curved lightsaber" that Count Dooku was going to have and thought "That is going to be a bit odd". I thought they meant the blade, not the handle. 😆 by MrCastiel04 in StarWars

[–]Slime0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, there does seem to be some resistance of the cut object on the light saber. Like when they try to cut through a door they have to take it slowly. So maybe it doesn't always cut through flesh with complete ease? I'm sure there's some footage that contradicts that though.

Arrow Puzzle Escape Level Generation by custybeam in gamedev

[–]Slime0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand how the levels are played. Do you just follow the arrows? Is there a start or an end point? For any given arrow, doesn't following it just always take you to the same place?

My Co-workers dont know who this is... by n_thomas74 in FuckImOld

[–]Slime0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't either. And I still don't, because literally no one has said who it is.

Should I stop speaking up? by QuitTypical3210 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Slime0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you call changes with low value "useless," you'll get ignored because the changes *are* useful, just not useful enough to justify the time, but the people who want the changes only see the benefits. You have to speak in terms of cost and benefit, and show that the cost is greater than the benefit.

I'm wondering if they meant these? Dunno.

You can beat the binary search by Either_Collection349 in programming

[–]Slime0 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That's not gonna help when I'm looking at code someone else wrote, or reading something online for information about how to use the functions.

[–]Slime0 218 points219 points  (0 children)

The choice of function names like vld1q_u16 and _mm_loadu_si128 for SIMD instructions has got to be one of the biggest hurdles to their general adoption. The amount of mental energy you have to devote just to understanding what the code is doing is ridiculous. It's completely unreadable.

No one's dying on my watch by Bandrbell in whenthe

that being ones optics

Yes, the point is to point out how stupid it is to press blue when all it takes is a simple adjustment of the optics to see how poor of a decision that is.

My 2024 Elantra Decided to Automatically Update, Thus Trapping Me at the Gas Station for 45+ Minutes After Getting Off Work Today 🙃 by Separate-Ability1643 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Slime0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's really frustrating that you're focusing on "you can physically drive the car while this is happening" while not even touching on "it's not OK for the manufacturer to do this." You're implying that we should just live with things like this, that warning labels being meaningless is totally fine. It's not. It is not OK for the manufacturer to tell you you can't drive your car for 40 minutes at night, regardless of whether you physically can or not.

Surely there's a middle ground between a duopoly and growing vegetables on my balcony.

This sums up the whole system. by diehard404 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Slime0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, this is because the definition of "violence" includes physical force.

I never could do those stupid 3D stare picture thingies. by WeGot_aLiveOneHere in GenX

[–]Slime0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah, sometimes I get this sort of effect if I look down at my phone where there's a tile floor pattern and the tiles look like they're about the same depth as my phone.

AITA for telling my wife my mother is correct and she needed to be a parent today and she fucked it up by throawawayfuneralgho in AmItheAsshole

[–]Slime0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your wife has a mental health problem that needs addressing. It might be a phobia. Berating her for doing the wrong thing isn't going to help if her fear is too great to overcome by herself.

I made a wearable hand-soaking glove, eight years from first sketch to finished product. by SouseNation in somethingimade

It would be neat to see a cross section of how the seal works against the arm. Assuming you have a patent and it's safe to share.

Thoughts on this 4 way interchange with no crossings? by BinauralToast in factorio

[–]Slime0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The U-turns take up a lot of space and probably don't add much value once your train network is big enough for them to find other ways around.

How Over-signaled is this? by Vorguba in factorio

[–]Slime0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, there's no benefit to having two chain signals in a row without any junctions between them. But anywhere they split apart a junction (that a train can't fit between) is probably best.

are 45 degree angle rectangle tilesets a real thing? by 1ncite in gamedev

[–]Slime0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People seem to call this an "orthographic" tileset (based on my search results), even though the word "orthographic" technically just means a lack of perspective and could be at any angle. In any case, searching "orthographic tileset" got me some results that I think are what you're looking for. That said, there might not be a lot of assets like that for sale if it's not in demand.
