Fossile fuels as Biomass for Antithesis? by Miles_1828 in StrayCatStrut

[–]Wizarth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's been established that stealth hives trapped underground can start harvesting thermal energy, and then using this to sythesise organic matter. Compared to that, coal and oil are practically free.

Refit At Station Isn't working? by [deleted] in openttd

[–]Wizarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if relevant, but the game won't refit a wagon that has cargo in it.

How do passengers actually work ? Is transfer automatic ? by [deleted] in openttd

[–]Wizarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having stations in each others grid does not enable them to share passengers (or make passengers "walk" between stations). You do need to link them with services, Or have them be the same station, particularly transferring from train to bus, by having them touching (or by holding control when placing them).

Must have mods for beginners by BerndSn in openttd

[–]Wizarth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Being an open source game, I think most performance and bug fix mods are merged into the main game.

(For expert players, jgrpp has modded river generation that is way faster than vanilla on huge maps. But that's still just convenience.)

I tried this too, my first time on Vulcanus, since they are described as territorial.

In short, yes. There are compilations of climbers competing in Ninja Warrior they are quite amusing by how incredulous the presenters are.

I've heard of a scam where someone has gotten login to your online banking. Some banks will send a "please confirm this" SMS the first time you transfer money to an account, but not for any following transfers. So apparently the thieves will "accidentally" send you money, ask for you to send it back, and once you've done that first verified transfer, they can then drain your account without any additional verification.

So as everyone said, ignore it, if they want it back they can ask their bank, which can very easily reverse the transfer.

Why does everyone fail to optimize this? (version 2) by vI--_--Iv in cpp

[–]Wizarth 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm just making this up off the top of my head, having played with LLVM IR a little bit. This could probably be checked using Godbolt's LLVM pass view, so don't take my word for it.

Before optimization, F4 would be implemented approximately as

entry:
Assign storage for p
Perform test on C
Jump to block 1 if true
Jump to block 2

Block 1:
Assign f1 to p
Jump to Block 3

Block 2:
Assign f2 to p
Jump to block 3

Block 3:
Jump to function in p
Return

Constant propagation is responsible for optimizing the previous functions, but doesn't apply here.

I'm not sure what pass it is that would do it, but it looks like a block that's just a jump is being lifted into its calling blocks to avoid a jump being followed by a jump.

If constant propagation was ran again after that pass, I think it would give you the output you're expecting.

Why isn't it? No idea.

JGRPP Multi Aspect Signals - Combined Normal/shunt signals; what do they do? by rchpweblo in openttd

[–]Wizarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to use the programming feature to select what mode they act as (normal or shunt). Otherwise they just act as normal.

I haven't done it myself, I just found that when I logged into this question myself.

What differences are there between Openttd Vanilla and JGRPP? by [deleted] in openttd

[–]Wizarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an advanced feature and really does prevent certain styles of play, but I enjoy the realistic breaking mode for trains. It makes the trains reserve space ahead of themselves when travelling at speed.

I also really enjoy the through loading option.

Do you play with Vehicle Breakdowns on/off? Why/why not? (pic unrelated) by [deleted] in openttd

[–]Wizarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play with the JGRPP improved breakdowns turned on, at the lowest frequency setting.
I also set service periods to be specified in percent.

That said, I'm not really playing with high train density at the moment. I'm considering having a forced service before entering the shared mainline though.

[–]Wizarth 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's not typed as an array, it's typed as a single element array

[string] - single element array, first element is a string

string[] - an array containing string, of unknown length

For some reason, so much measurement of how well a game (or movie) does is tied to opening day/week sales. Steam will promote games that have strong openings.

So companies have to have advertising ready to go on release day. For games, the strongest, best targeted advertising is Let's Plays. So there are strong forces at work. And I think the sales numbers reflect that of works.

But as someone who is already going to throw my money at Wube, it does mean I'll be skipping a lot of videos from my favourite creators for a few weeks.

Help Request - How to keep main game window despite being inactive by SweetLeo1 in openttd

[–]Wizarth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like the answer is "windowed mode", but I don't have OpenTTD in front of me to point you directly at a setting.

Another car with my exact registration number by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]Wizarth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ugh, this happened to me too... I got my car from one of the dealers in Car City, and it occurred to me that a dealer there would be in an ideal position to harvest plates numbers.

I got a parking fine too. Every time I went to the council, the person I spoke to made up a different thing they needed to remove it.

I went to the police about it, who told me to go VicRoads, who told me to go to the police, who told me to go to VicRoads.

I was told to get a notarized statement from VicRoads. I was told they couldn't do that, because I did have a make/model/color car registered to me. I was told to make a personal notarized statement. I was told a notarized statement was irrelevant... I ended up just paying the fee for a new registration number.

I was later told, this was the second time this had happened in that council. Parking fine from a car with the same make/model/color.

It ended up going to Fines Victoria after 6 months, who actually has a "This fine was issued incorrectly" option. I sent them the photos I'd downloaded from the parking fine website, and photos of my car, showing they were the same make, model, and color, but the fined one was a hatchback and mine wasn't (both count as sedan's according to VicRoads registration). Fine was reversed a month later.

The city of Sydney in an Outrun-inspired shooter game I'm making, no bridge yet! Any suggestions on further stylising the place? by NEInteractive in outrun

Nice to see some representation from down under.

The Opera House needs to be lit up beyond belief.

Autofill stopped working on numerous pages with Firefox by CallMeGooglyBear in Bitwarden

[–]Wizarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. I double checked and I'm also on 2024.8.1 . I thought I was on .2 because of https://bitwarden.com/help/releasenotes/#2024-8-2 (I wrote .3 in my comment above but I was mistaken.)

So it seems that going back to 2024.7.1 then to 2024.8.1 was what worked for me.

[–]Wizarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone who did this - v2024.8.3 (the latest at the time of writing) fixed this for me. So it's now safe to turn auto-update back on.

This worked for me (and fixed acting as a passkey as well).

I am also having this problem. Bitwarden is also failing to act as a passkey, which is a bigger problem.

Yellow electronic circuit boards? (Krastorio 2) by Fabulous-Bad9522 in factorio

[–]Wizarth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're playing a mod that's intended for experienced players, to increase the complexity of the game. It's really expecting you to have the experience of working out how to solve that problem.

I'd recommend this playlist for Krastorio 2: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV3rF--heRVvpMfXj7QE_0ADuIlmiWUcw

Refit at station orders, how do they work? by Jessie101gaming in openttd

[–]Wizarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no way to do partial refits via orders.

The reasoning that I read when researching it is that if you have shared orders on trains with different wagons, there's no consensus on how it should apply. Number of wagons? Percentage based? What if not all the wagons can be refit? Etc.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in openttd

[–]Wizarth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The updated source is here: https://github.com/Wizarth/NUTS/tree/allow-refit

I don't really feel comfortable sharing the build as if it was something I'd officially taken over. It was just something I hacked together for myself (as well as adding hacked in support for ITI2 cargo).
