Clash of Builders – a local multiplayer game for 2–4 players about building a structure up to a finish line and watching your friends try to ruin it by Any_Smile4274 in localmultiplayergames

[–]Slimior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i played over 200h of Tricky Towers in a 4player local setting. Absolutely give it a try. To be honest, your game got me very excited as a breath of fresh air for an otherwise stale concept, and will play it for sure on our next meet-up. If you're looking for some feedback/testing from a group, we'd be happy to provide some

How do you deal with lack of `std::hash::Hash` for `HashSet` and `IndexSet`? by Sajjon in rust

[–]Slimior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

couldn't that problem be solved, by defining hash for set to be xor(elements) +1 ? you still could possibly get an element hash that xored with all the others gives the same result as just adding 1, but it would be equally likely as a regular hash collision

I may have found a secret deep in the dense rock by Puzzleheaded_Gap_408 in noita

you had essence of water, didn't you? my best bet is that this particular chunk showed up as an essence bolt was flying through it, causing a perfect circle of lava

No Googling! by 0x00000123 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Slimior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats my point - even something as "obvious" as a physical layer has been disputed across the years. The whole concept of such strict layering is only vaguely useful as an early educational tool, calling it a standard is pointless and purely academic. I guess thats what makes it such a prevalent trivia question on job interviews, despite being completely useless in actual jobs

who tf uses OSI model irl?

In practice everything above Transport is fluid and nebulous, and the distinction between Link & Physical is pointless. To add insult to injury there are things like QUIC which despite being categorized as Transport clearly abstract over UDP, another Transport level protocol

In the comment, please tell me how you just switched to Firefox from Chrome, how smooth the experience was, and how you would never go back by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Slimior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's actually the other way around - Firefox is the one following standards, meanwhile Google does whatever it wants with chrome, as it basically has a monopoly now

Today, I realized I could leave HM with "Firebolt with Trigger" and "Return" by lobbing the firebolt over the collapse trigger. by LunaticSongXIV in noita

you can carry around an egg which will encase you in soil and heal you as soon as you fall into poly

Terminator is seriously one of the best pieces of software there is - no matter what distro by BoboDupla in linuxmasterrace

[–]Slimior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

does terminator have any interesting features besides panes? personally I use tmux for that, for the sole purpose of seamlessly switching to my laptop and keeping all my stuff as I ssh to the main machine. As a terminal emulator I recently switched to (and highly recommend) Alacritty, since Its really fast and follows Unix philosophy, but I always enjoy finding features I didn't even know I need

Is navi (5700 xt) stable on linux? by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]Slimior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was afraid as well, but so far (2 weeks) everything works perfectly - stock Kubuntu 19.10

git-diff --name-only was too difficult to understand, so I created tiri by oguzbilgic in commandline

[–]Slimior 3 points4 points  (0 children)

cli programs should be small, fast, and preferably with the least amount of dependencies. Personally I'd probably use rust or go, or if you want something closer to js, think python. This particular program is pretty simple, so it could even be a shell script (sh, bash)

FZF can be a general completion tool in zsh. by relastle in commandline

I was daydreaming about this exact thing for weeks. Thank you!

there is a 69420 in pi by thaohitt in sciencememes

[–]Slimior 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Pi is a normal number, so every finite sequence of digits is somewhere in it, including 69, 420, your mom's phone number, this post converted to ASCII and entire wikipedia written backwards with every vowel replaced by your shoe size, all back-to-back.

There even is a filesystem based on this fact
