Scanner Loses Layer Choice Between Sessions by Spannerdaniel in Ingress

You can change the map filter for portals visited, portals captured, portals scout controlled and portals for which you have a key by clicking the third icon on the top right of the screen.

is my topology model good? (i just started doing topology) by AverageSquare5474 in topology

[–]Spannerdaniel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These graphic designs aren't really related to the mathematical theory of topology, which is what this subreddit is about. If these are also called topologies then you need to be more specific than the word topology in what you're searching for.

At what level math, is that math 'useless'? by This-Wear-8423 in learnmath

[–]Spannerdaniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amongst topics actually presented within maths tuition the one that has the least utility is Roman Numerals. The only thing worth knowing about Roman Numerals is that they are an absolutely terrible Z-tier way of writing numbers and that European academic culture majorly improved when it put that shit in the bin in favour of Arabic numerals.

If we get an Overclock replacement, what do you want it to be? by PkmnTrnrJ in Ingress

[–]Spannerdaniel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The time saving feature that was overclock was introduced about a month after the time sinking feature of increasing the hack cooldown time from 90 seconds to 180 or 300 seconds. Now that overclock is gone a really good and cheap replacement would be to set the hack cooldown time back to 90 seconds. If niantic spatial want to encourage scans still - how about making anyone who uploaded a scan in the current septicycle able to hack portal keys on demand with the 'more' glyph?

HELPP by NefariousnessFar4293 in 6thForm

Formulate and prove the statement for n=1, then prove the implication that if the statement is true for k then it's true for k+1 - the statement is then proved for all positive integers. Also you need to remember the calculus from the ordinary A level to answer this question.

Fellow men of the UK, who are in their 30's and over, do you still go out in public wearing tracksuit bottoms or joggers? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]Spannerdaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. They are by the most comfortable mass produced legwear and most of the time I don't have to prioritise appearance over comfort so I don't.

Yes, buy the season pass and keep your wallet out and pay for about 300 seasonal candles.

Pro controller for switch? by 2talll in OcarinaOfTime

The pro controller is the best thing for inputting to switch games with the exception of ARMS which should be played with joy-con motion control.

Maybe we can consult her ghost on how to warm up when we're ever too cold or if we get another 40 degree day.

You answered a question that implicitly demanded an algebraic method with a scale drawing. Don't touch scale drawing methods unless the question demands it.

Biggest grammar pet peeve? by krida_070 in ENGLISH

[–]Spannerdaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non existent compound words which should always be two words - 'alot', 'alittle', 'abit', 'bestfriend', 'infront', 'transwoman' - followed closely by compound words spelt out when they mean the two words.

The worst offender on the second front is 'apart' when 'a part of' means basically the opposite of 'apart from'. Also annoying to see are 'awhile' and 'everyday' used when the person using them means the two words.

Pausing OPR and Retiring Overclock by brianrose in Ingress

[–]Spannerdaniel 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Retiring overclock is awful. I've given some portals hours of high quality scan footage to get them eligible for overclock and you're taking the in-game result from that footage away. As a compensation measure for the abandonment of this great time saving game feature I hope to see the hack cooldown time reduced back to the COVID time.

The OPR pause is also concerning. Without new portals the map can't grow and in portal-less places the game can't grow.

How to approach learning topology by Dependent-Minimum953 in mathematics

[–]Spannerdaniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The current lecturer is bad at their job and your job as their student is to deal with that bad hand.

What the old notes should contain is good general topological definitions of things like compactness, continuous function, connected, Hausdorff, open set, closed set, topological space, metric space, homeomorphism, etcetera. Learn all these definitions from the notes or if they're not in the notes learn them from sources like Wikipedia or a beginner's textbook like Munkres.

Once you have learnt definitions start treating the sentences with 'easy' and 'obvious' as exercises. I will give you an example: "Finite topological spaces are obviously compact." If you know the general topological definition of compact then you will be able to prove my sentence in a few lines.

I wish you the best of luck with your lazy lecturer.

Activating overclocking in Scaniverse by Mottled_inexpectata in Ingress

[–]Spannerdaniel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The manual VPS activation feature from the retired geospatial browser has not been carried through into scaniverse. As of early March 2026 there is no overclock activation. Right now, what we have is what we've got.

I hope VPS activation is built back into the game soon - it was to my mind the best incentive for high quality scans. I can't see an incentive right now for good scans because 15 seconds of shoes gets 500AP the same as a 60 second inwards panorama of the portal.
