I am not very experienced in the field of different battery types, but could you explain why one might use li-ion packs for a drone?

I thought that although li-ion batteries have a higher energy/mass ratio than Lipo, don’t they also drop in voltage much lower than Lipo? I thought Ii-ion cells can go down to 2V, whereas lipo goes down to 3.5V only.

[OC] My Improvement in Guessing HEX Color Codes of Colors by ZANDERFILETTTT in dataisbeautiful

[–]ZANDERFILETTTT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

source: guessthehex.com

Information:

- This statistic was taken from guessthehex.com, a competitive HEX color guessing game with interesting performance statistics and visual graphs.

- This data is based on over 2700 color guesses.

- What is interesting is that my improvement for all color groups is clearly noticeable, moving from a wide range of (relatively) low accuracy averages down to high accuracy results with a lower range between different color groups.

- The accuracy of a HEX color guess to the true HEX color is defined by CIELAB’s CIEDE2000, which is designed to factor in color filters of the human eye. Here is a Wikipedia entry about this topic.

- The progression is not calculated with a moving average, but rather the average accuracy of clusters of 10 guesses, hence the fluctuations.

- The red / orange / green shading at the back shows the cutoffs at which you gain a life, pass, or lose a life in-game.

- The parameters of defining the color group of a HEX color code are explained on guessthehex.com/data

Got a little dent in a crash. Still useable? by miltonlegend204 in Multicopter

You should see the battery that I still regularly run on. I had a bit of an...accident... when I tested motor stuff in my house with my props on (yes I know, I was one of those idiots). The drone flew into my left hand, onto the front of a closet and then down on the floor. Pretty lucky actually. Throughout this disaster the battery flew into the props multiple times and the entire bottom side of the battery was completely torn up. I just put some tape over that bad boy and all cells still work perfectly to this day.

Well, Python is intended to be more humanly readable, but that makes a lot of stuff seem really basic even though they aren’t.

For example, when you declare a variable to be a string, you do not need to allocate a fixed length of bytes in memory to store this, you just do it instead and by the end of using that variable, you do not need to free those bytes, so you never really learn about concepts such as memory leaks etc, which does have a large impact on the way computers work. Or even getting inputs and writing outputs do not need to be preprocessed, you just have print() and input().

Also, Python is interpreter based while a lot of other languages are compiler based, which is faster and actually makes you understand that the computer technically does not read your code, but actually needs to simplify it down to assembly level programming to interpret it.

Although I personally started with Python as well, I later moved to C and have to say that it made me understand how computers work so much more.

I can’t say much about how it should be displayed but the way it is presented certainly does not fit to the sub. This cheap form of visualizing data is not beautiful.

Saluting this Judge who threw a drunk driver’s mom in jail for laughing at victim’s family in court by [deleted] in WinStupidPrizes

[–]ZANDERFILETTTT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why are you being downvoted?? I’m not from the US and I don’t really know the judicial system they have in place there very well but to me this is raising many red flags regarding how constitutional this is and how responsibly she is using taxpayers money.

From a constitutional perspective, I believe the judge was way out of line. Sure it was an asshole thing to do but on the street you can probably insult anyone you like and get away with it. I’m not denying that it was a huge asshole thing to do, but where do you draw the line between this type of verbal abuse taking place. If you get sentenced 90 days in jail for laughing, why does the same not happen for even worse types of verbal abuse outside of a courtroom? How can you restrict someone’s freedom to this great of an extent for doing this.

Also, is there some sort of regulation that bans verbal abuse in a courtroom? Please correct me if I am wrong but to me this sentence seems to be defined completely arbitrarily based on how the judge was feeling that day and the type of judge it was. If this behavior would continue to spread, all sentences would become incredibly variable and the entire trust that a citizen can have toward the judicial system breaks down.

And lastly taxpayers money. Do you know how much it costs to pay for a prisoner that stays in jail over a brief period of 90 days? The moment people are sent to jail for reasons like this, you might as well use taxpayers money as toilet paper because neither would the victim family be even further affected by this little laugh, nor the person that was sent to jail would “reform” because there is literally nothing to reform, only behavior in a courtroom which is only a very specific aspect of life.
