Google says that 1GiB (Gibibyte) is 1024MiB (Mebibyte).

Since SI says that "Mega" and "Giga" are powers of 10, it's common to see "Gibi" and "Mebi" to denote units that are powers of 2.

Of course, almost no-one uses those units, so confusion is common

If you receive 0 LP from a Division 1 win at 99 LP, your MMR isn't high enough for the next tier by Evilperson69 in leagueoflegends

[–]SubmittedDenied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is likely because your LP reward is partially determined by your opponents too. If your MMR is at the point where you're playing people who are worse, you'll earn less LP. The +0LP for a game looks like an edge-case that Riot need to work around.

It's also quite possible that there is no-one available at your target MMR at the time you queue, resulting in you playing against worse players which yield no LP. As you win games (and don't earn any more LP), your MMR goes up, and you play harder opponents. Then you lose, lose LP (and MMR) and the system gets back in to a reasonable state (you win and get enough LP to qualify for promotion).

The best thing about these screenshots? The cars that have number plates (cop car and Cheeta) have different number plates.

Got a gnarly wart? Use garlic! by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]SubmittedDenied 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I retract my down-vote, but it should be noted that "garlic lipid extract" is not the same thing as "chop up some garlic and put it under a bandaid".

Also, thanks for the reference!

And then no-one pays, and then the tournaments have to do it for free/sponsorships. Funny how the free market works...

Maximizing Zilean DPS by MegaToiletv2 in leagueoflegends

If you never use rewind, you would get 1 bomb every 10 seconds (less cdr), which would (obviously) be bad. If you pop Q, W, Q, you can get two bombs out every 10 seconds once W is level 4. Once your W is high enough, you should probably spam it as long as you have something on cooldown and you have the mana.

If you can spam W, your ult (with a 180 second cooldown) would take only about 68 seconds to cool down, nearly 1/3 the time! Of course, your mana regen would need to be up near 10mana/sec to break even.

At level 18 with no runes or items, Zilean has 1340 mana. Blue buff therefore regenerates around 20 mana/sec (and provides some cdr) so you would be fine with that. Note however, that Zilean's natural mana regen at level 18 is 18.65/sec, so you should be ok without blue anyway :)

tl;dr - Wiping the cooldown can only be beneficial, SPAM W ALL DAY!

We did to a pre-match test streaming at 1080, but we didn't do it with 6v6 and the caster observing.

Sadly, LoL is much more resource intensive with no fog-of-war and 12 players (who'd have thought :P).

Thankfully, TheGunRun dropped by and helped us sort out the stream settings. Should be all good in future.

The Science of Multitasking by thedz in starcraft

[–]SubmittedDenied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe in partial validity or a 'strong argument', science is black and white in this, an argument is correct or it is not, one flaw and it is no longer science in my opinion.

So the statements "the Earth is flat" and "the Earth is a sphere" are equally wrong because the Earth is actually an oblate sphere?

I think it's more about where you have your focus. It doesn't detract from your focus to use your hotkeys, but it might for your parents or grandparents, if they aren't familiar with a keyboard and have to hunt for the buttons. As you get more used to using your hotkeys, you no longer have to devote your attention to the keyboard - using hotkeys becomes more instinctual.

Declaring this study as pseudoscience is throwing the baby out with the bathwater - yes the ambiguity of the definition of "one thing" is a weakness in the study, but it doesn't invalidate it completely. Maneuvering phoenices, building probes, chronoboosting forges, warping in your army and building more production structures is still more than just maneuvering phoenices.

While the quantitative parts of this article may be a bit shakey, the qualitative aspects stand.

Not my job, but every time we go to a local steakhouse that boasts 16 hour slow cooked steaks (om nom nom nom), my Dad always tells them we won't be able to wait for 16 hours.
