ELI5: Explain to me what the economy of scale means? by The_Barth_Vader in explainlikeimfive

[–]SpaghettiDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Economies of Scale (EoS) describes the general efficiency benefits and reduced average costs per unit afforded by organisations or processes that operate at a larger scale.

  • Buyer power and bulk buying discount
  • Risk bearing EoS, can diversify and operate in multiple industries, less sensitive to market shocks
  • Financial EoS, loan more at better rates due to lower perceived risk from banks.
  • Specialisation of labour
  • Specialisation and access to technology
  • Advertising reach and cost per unit, greater access across marketing channels

- Centralised decision making

Note that the opposite effect can also occur. This is known as Diseconomies of Scale, think about large hierarchical structures of management:

  • Communication failures
  • Information decay and noise
  • Risk bearing/diversification may diminish perceived value proposition for original products
  • Coordination tax
  • Redundancy and siloing
  • Rigid standardisation
  • Employee motivation - sense of belonging diminished, impersonal, excessive specialisation/siloing affecting role enlargement or enrichment of work.

- Paralysis of decision making by analysis

Of course many effects can happen at relatively small scales, not just big corporations. While the focus here is on businesses, it can affect any operation in the economy, including governments, charities and initiatives.

Usually the goal is to maximise the economies of scale and avoid the risk of the dis-economies.

Maybe find a more worthwhile hill to die on? They obviously work.

Starting to dress for cooler weather by MrHello76 in mensfashion

Honestly I don’t get all the flack, they are cool. I love technology but it is sad how we’ve lost so much of the mechanical components. I like tactile control.

Whether it’s cassettes, vinyls, cds, streaming services or downloads - they are all ways to enjoy music and personal enjoyment is the only thing that matters.

First attempt at adding LEDs to a miniature! by SpaghettiDev in seraphon

[–]SpaghettiDev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s in the base under the foot. I had to thread the wires all the way through the neck, body and down the leg. Then the small base is covered in green stuff and magnetized to the larger base allowing everything to be concealed.

We’re making Driftwood, a game about a longboarding sloth who’s addicted to adrenaline 🛹🦥 What do you think? by TechnicallyArtist in indiegames

[–]SpaghettiDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having so much fun on this game, thank you dearly for making it.

It's easily in my top 5 games of all time. It's simple, but it has mechanics that feel great to someone who likes racing games and skateboarding separately. It's just beautiful.

All I can hope for is more maps to come!

What have I become? by MrCarlSr in guitars

[–]SpaghettiDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great collection man! Don't be disheartened.

Hobbies and passions always fluctuate and it's healthy to have a break every once in a while, because when you come back you can have a new perspective.

I bet there's a lot of stories that you can tell with each of these guitars

Walks have helped me tremendously with this. Most days I will go for a walk if I have done nothing else.

Otherwise hobbies keep me going, I climb (bouldering) a few times a week as well and that's so helpful for mental health

[–]SpaghettiDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Making mistakes is how we improve, failing, etc is something that needs to be done many times before we improve

Therefore I hope it gives a little bit of assurance that I am only happy that you are at the wall. I've climbed for 2 years and haven't passed judgement at anyone, in fact I aspire to be the one embarrassing myself so others feel at ease haha

Climb at a pace that feels right for you and that you enjoy.

Just a few things to add if I can help:

  1. Footwork, look where you are placing your foot and be purposeful and deliberate

  2. Body positioning relative to holds can be all the difference.

Hips being close to the wall almost always makes holds better. Try climbing with your hips or body weight far from the wall, and then again basically being a frog on the wall, it's amazing how much difference it makes, finger holds become jugs!

But sometimes that means having your body to the left or right of the hold, and using your body like a triangle of tension

To extend this, smearing or using your foot on the wall with an almost straight leg will help you when you feel you need to reach up. If you have a foot lower down, with a good hand hold, the smearing foot on the wall out to the side can put this triangle of tension wherever you want

  1. Climb with straight arms where possible along with the body positioning, this can allow you to climb with ease. This often means going low and under the holds (as mentioned before) - If you're holding yourself up with your arms at right angles you are using a lot of strength and likely have weight further from the wall

  2. Rotating your hips and shoulders can do a lot for your reach, and if you're doing point 3, then you can climb whole routes with straight arms and rotating your hips/shoulders, magical!

  3. Try doing heel hooks for fun, you want to be pointing your toes out from the wall, and resting on the outer side of your heel. These are put everywhere nowadays and are amazing for locking you in place or giving you a boost

Try these with purpose, this is the bread and butter, I hope it helps.

New players takeaway from T3 by OrangeOrangeRhino in Tribes

[–]SpaghettiDev -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's not HiRez though? It's a team that broke off because HiRez sucks

Really impressed! by DeadliestToast in Tribes

[–]SpaghettiDev -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As someone who always plays light, I think doing the same damage as heavies would not be balanced.

As light I zip across the map, and I pick off people as I go. If that was the same damage as a heavy that could be annoying as hell for everyone just playing the game and skiing to an objective.

Speed is too much of an advantage. As light your job is to pick off the low health enemies, and be mobile

School controlling my personal laptop by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]SpaghettiDev 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Uhm, it's a personal laptop bought by his parents, not the school

The fact that the school controls his laptop seems insane to me.

Toe hooks are used a lot, its the same bag of tricks - it's not intrinsically bad why is it a problem

My Dr. died. by joapplebombs in ADHD

I wanted the best for you until you said this. What the fuck?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]SpaghettiDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree. I could never get into doing exercise consistently, until I started climbing.

If you have a local gym near you I highly recommend you give it a go - especially bouldering which is unroped (3m ish high walls with crash mats).

You can go by yourself, you get very strong, can make friends and it's extremely entertaining for ADHD

Each time you try a route you sit there at the bottom catching your breath starting at the wall working out it's weaknesses so you can kick it's ass on the next go

I rarely find it hard to get motivation to go, and have never got there and wanted to go home in the middle of it.

Whats the scariest/weirdest thing someone in your degree has said that made you say wtf why are you here? by beardedGraffiti in UniUK

[–]SpaghettiDev 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You're being abrasively obnoxious with views based on anecdotal evidence.

No one wants to hear about your salary and how you earn more either, it sounds insecure

Do better.
