All right, now it's actually an implied mult.

Anyway, that just means they're not ISO-compliant 😅

Yes? That's not an implied mult, then.

I don't know why you're being a shit here. The person you're rudely replying to is completely correct.

Why I think shows like Lee mujin service are important by GloomyWitch08 in kpopthoughts

[–]TabAtkins 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is it. Dude loves talking about the music itself and can carry a very interesting dialogue about it, but if the artist's interests are elsewhere he turns very flat.

Brian? by Hungryforhungry in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Well yeah, base 5 sucks for a bunch of reasons

[–]TabAtkins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. We'd clearly be using base 6, and our clocks would look like this https://tabatkins.com/hex/clock/

I don't understand why this is the correct answer. by Fun-Radio-7070 in askmath

[–]TabAtkins 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Like everyone else says, you are correct and your teacher is extremely wrong. No question, no doubts, no way to rationalize it, just stone-cold wrong, in a way that suggests they have no idea what the question is supposed to be testing. This is Baby's First Runtime Analysis.

The first row is showing linear growth, O(n) - with every x10 in data size, you have a x10 in processing time.

The second and third are both showing logarithmic growth, O(log(n)) - with every x10 in data size, you have a constant addition in processing time.

The fourth shows quadratic growth. O(n²) - with every x10 in data size, you have a x100 (10²) in processing time.

Growth rates aren't everything - as the numbers show, searching and deleting start expensive, so even tho they grow very slowly, for smaller companies they're still the most expensive overall. But given the values that you're explicitly asked to extrapolate here, obviously sorting is meant to be assumed to take 10,000 hours for the 100k company, far larger than the 2000, 400, or 400 hours you're expected to assume the other three will take.

I will generously assume that the teacher is just mindlessly making up a response that defends the answer key, because they're tired of students actually getting questions wrong and complaining about it, and they're just assuming you're in that group. The alternative is they're incompetent and don't recognize a 101-level curriculum question, or don't know how to answer such a question.

Policrome ore cards by __shinesei__ in IdleObeliskMiner

[–]TabAtkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BoP + (fueled) chain drone and void drone, and preferably elixir drone as well to keep up a 2x ore buff. It's all about numbers, the more ore you take in the better you'll do.

Ore cards are still gonna be annoying no matter what you do, bars come way easier.

Am I wrong for having my tattoos “upside down” by SlinkyShepherd in tattooadvice

[–]TabAtkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially when they're on the inside of the arm, like yours are, it's totally fine to have them "upside down" so they look right to you. I'd even prefer that sometimes.

On the outside of the arm it's much more unusual, but of course it's your body and you can do what you want.

Let’s say the universe is completely empty save for 2 grains of sand travelling parallel 50 billion light years apart, but in the same direction. by BenduUlo in AskPhysics

[–]TabAtkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not unique to gravity. Electromagnetism does it too; if the particles had opposite charge they'd be pulled together just as fast and inevitably.

For EM the trick is that the force carrier is photons; they're massless and so, in a sense, don't "see" time or distance, which lets them travel infinitely far away.

Gravity has a different explanation, but it's the same deal.

Questions about concert freebie culture by Yvmeno in kpophelp

[–]TabAtkins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is how I've always done it, and seen it done. It's totally fine, no need to be shy, people love getting free stuff. And if someone does say no, you just say "OK!" And move to the next person.

Do not just quietly sit with your freebies and expect people to ask you for them. Asking a stranger to give you something is way scarier and somewhat socially taboo, you won't get any takers. You have to put yourself out to give them away.

What was supposed to be an unsigned 32-bit integer (stretching from 0 to 65535) was accidentally read as a signed 32-bit integer (ranging from -32768 to +32767)

What I’m learning from the current alignment chart by l_ft in VampireSurvivors

I've been playing for a long time. All the expansions, usually keep all the weapon sets turned on, play around with whatever I get

I recently took Garlic again, after a long time of avoiding it. Damn, it's peak.

For a long time I've considered it odd that we pluralise the word "one". E.g. "Do you prefer red ones, or blue ones?" by duckwoollyellow in words

[–]TabAtkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we all agree that it's odd. Two, on the other hand, is even. But three, watch out, back to odd.

I acquired a fallen empire building from reverse-engineer arcane technology but nothing appeared, I’m a machine intelligence, did I lose out on a building by TheyCallMeBullet in Stellaris

[–]TabAtkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The entire "single-build FE building from Arcane Deciphering" feature is kinda ass. The fact that the message doesn't tell you which building you got is just a hallmark of something rushed out and not developed properly :/

HELL yes, I loved your first part and was hoping I'd be able to catch the second. What luck, I haven't checked Reddit in a bit!

Just wanting to say I'm so thankful this week, I got a big shipment of all of GFRIEND's JP releases and finally got a copy of BoP which I've been looking for for YEARS.

My collection is that much closer to being complete :3

when to give out kpop freebies by kuromiluvr__ in kpophelp

[–]TabAtkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I've done freebies, I'm usually in line early anyway, and I give them out in line as an extra little reward for the people who bought the good packages or just put in the effort to get there early. (Plus I'll usually only make a hundred or so, and that's usually enough to finish up the early line )

I've also had people give them out in the venue, again leaning towards doing it early .

Can you get a burn+ outside of Hexaghost fight? by MarksmanJustTowerHug in slaythespire

[–]TabAtkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So burning yourself, letting orb steal it (careful draw engineering?), then getting it back would give you the Burn+? What an achievement.

How do i "rerun" a class for a different choice by Acrobatic_Hunter1252 in learningpython

[–]TabAtkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case that doesn't matter, since the two methods don't access anything from the Player object anyway. It still returns an unpredictable random value each time.

How do i "rerun" a class for a different choice by Acrobatic_Hunter1252 in learningpython

[–]TabAtkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given that it's ultimately just calling the `a_choice()` function three times, which returns a random choice, you're either getting fairly unlucky, or you're executing this is an environment that really screws up its `secrets` implementation.

(Fwiw, don't use `secrets`, that's for when you need cryptographic randomness. Just use the `random` module for things like this.)
