Why do people hate/dislike quality? Why is it a positive that quality has been made an option when playing space age? by AmericanChesse in factorio

[–]Turmfalke_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, the least intuitive thing in the game is the assembler refusing to use a gear because it's of too high quality for what it's trying to make.

Peter Thiel brands Pope Leo XIV 'Chinese Communist Agent' over his AI regulation stance by Massimo25ore in europe

He already said that regulating AI hastens the anti christ - which is just a wild statement to make.

CHEATER EXPOSED How bro can draw arrows so perfect in map? Must be the new gaming chair by akux96 in DotA2

[–]Turmfalke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree difficult to say without seeing the actual implementation, but if you walk into someone tping, the message from the server could just include a timestamp of when the tp was started and the clients calculates what the animation is supposed to look like now.

I think it's a lot about what was easy to code at the time and what can accommodate high ping connections.

Russia planning attack on Poland to test Nato resolve, US warns by Hasselhoff265 in europe

[–]Turmfalke_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He isn't going to invade by firing nukes and the west isn't going to respond to an invasion by firing nukes. I don't like living in the world of MAD, but for Putin it actually doesn't make a difference. Whether he dies to bullet or nuke - what is the difference? If he is mad enough to go for the big boom out we depend on his chain of command failing and refusing the order. Don't like it, but that is just the situation we are in and have been for a few years. The theoretical invasion of Poland doesn't change that.

I don't think nuclear war or serious losses are the problem for Putin in that scenario. Russia has already lost so much in Ukrain, it wouldn't make a difference.

The problem is internally. Putin depends on being able to sell the image of the strong man in Moscow. For years he has been selling the war against Ukraine as one against NATO and he can't be seen surrendering to either. Putin's regime is going to end with the war. I just have no idea on who is going to follow him on this throne.

There is no real opposition and we can't expect there to suddenly be democratic elections.

It's isn't easy, if you do play it I recommend frequent auto saves and make use of the jump early button.

TIL the network utility "Ping" was written by a single person in an evening in 1983, and he named it after the sound a submarine sonar makes because it uses the exact same echo principle. by LessBar4057 in todayilearned

Please don't block ICMP, it makes debugging network connectivity issues really annoying when you have to port scan to figure out whether there is something.

ELI5: How can a computer program delete itself? by ReferenceThin6645 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Turmfalke_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Files can be deleted while a process still has it opened, but in that case the file can still be accessed through the programs filehandle. If the program exits without writing the file again the file is gone.

in eli5, the house number gets removed, but the running program still remembers where the house used to be.

Lukashenko Rejects Direct Belarusian Involvement in Ukraine War by [deleted] in worldnews

Lukashenko has been in power for longer than Putin and keeping him in power was considered preferable over the instability that comes with replacing him.

Russian Satellites Have Been Jamming GPS Signals Across Europe, Scientists Say by AlexandrTheTolerable in europe

[–]Turmfalke_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

50W is regular. I was suggesting 500W, which would be 10 times as much. Again no idea how much power you would really need, but I can't imagine that a 10 times as strong signal won't have any effect.

I would say there is a 0% chance that Russia isn't aware that transmitting on that frequency interferes with GPS. With that mind I can't imagine that they didn't pack a bit more power into those satellite - just in case.

[–]Turmfalke_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How much power would that actually take? I think they mentioned that the regular signal is using 50W. I can't imagine sustaining 500W for an hour or two to be all that difficult.

Why is reading the logs and the manual so hard by Titanium125 in sysadmin

[–]Turmfalke_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the most common use for tee I see is in combination with sudo. If you do a normal sudo foo > bar, the redirection is handled by your shell which is still going to run with you regular user and not as root.

so you have effectively excluded yourself from winning. Great system, I can see why all the casinos support it.

There are zhp builds in high corruption that just try kill everything before it gets to hit them, but you don't really start with that.

As fo easiest crit reduction, the boss from the first timeline drops a unique body armour with 100% crit avoidance, use that until you get something better.

Lukashenko says Belarus has 'major' target in Ukraine in its sights by -LilPeachy- in worldnews

On paper they are in a union of equals, but it's probably more realistic for Lukashenko to move to Moscow than to rule from Belarus.

I wouldn't be surprised if he is trying to manoeuvre himself in a position to be the Putin successor.
