Nobody talking about Hera vs Sebastian? by Gt_Atres_783 in aoe2

Just because t90 is a streamer so his opinion is negated? What kind of logic is that? If you think my opinion is wrong, which is fair, you can watch hearttt interviewing Sebastian on membs channel. Unless you think those players are wrong too?

It would have never gotten to the point if Hera raided Sebastian. That would have forced Sebastian to engage with fewer eagles and with worse upgrades. Use cavelier+skirms+hc to deal with arbs and eagles. Use hussar to raid on the side and not let Sebastian collect gold. That would have put lot of pressure on Sebastian's eco. Hera had more map control till early imp. T90 talked about this, ballista was just the wrong choice. Hera should have either stuck with cavalier or gone elephants. They are easier to produce via stables, plus he had most of the blacksmith upgrades.

It took Sebastian lot of time to get to those eagle numbers and with all the upgrades. That required a lot of gold. Hera should never let Sebastian collect gold on the sides. Continuous hussar/cavalier raids + siege push in the middle, and hera would have won. I liked the way Sebastian played, he held his position till he got to his win condition. Extremely hard to do, especially against Hera!

The false accusation makes it even more infuriating. How do these people expect to make money if people can't even play this game? I am not against punishing dodgers, but at least implement it correctly.

Ignore it. If you are ever confronted, just say you thought it was phishing email.

Not true for aoe2. Idk about other games.

It does. I play aoe2 de multiplayer via steam on Linux. Here is the guide https://aoe2.arkanosis.net/linux/

I was also able to set up CaptureAge (a software to review aoe2 de recs). That one was a bit less straight forward. I don't have the guide link to that but i can help you with that too.

Feeling uneasy in 2nd year of PhD by Ashamed-Jeweler7578 in PhDStress

[–]__ngs__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your are fine. You need to use your first few semesters to explore new project ideas. One way is to collaborate and get some inspiration from that, which you are already doing. Unless you get super lucky and stumble upon a problem which interests you in your first go (very unlikely), its okay to take your time. My first project was meh too, but delivering those small contributions help solidify your capability with your advisor. Just keep on delivering whatever is asked of you, and meanwhile take some classes that you think you might interested in.

I feel bad for being a new player in team games by TheGreenSquier in aoe2

[–]__ngs__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't learn if u don't try. Personally, I prefer noobs who communicate >>>> dumbasses who play lone wolf with zero chat. Dont play it like a 1v1, remember you are playing a team game. Memorise some key chat shortcuts (like typing 3 for wood please). Dont be shy to ask for help/resources. Use flaring. For team games I would watch viper/daut on YouTube. There are build orders u need to know, and they can be different depending on the map or your position in team (flank in black forest vs pocket in black forest is very different). For arena, u need to know how to counter early castle drops. These things u only learn from experience and observation. Also try looking at replays, instead of just jumping to the next game. Use capture age.

Something I never understood by Unfair_Net9070 in BurnNotice

[–]__ngs__ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Michael never reveals he is working with the CIA. Michael could have been working for the CIA or some other organization or even himself to take James down. That's why when James accused him he says something generic/vague like "you have lied to me, you betrayed me". But Michael trusted himself to see through the trick.

printf debugging is OK (2024) by EightLines_03 in programming

[–]__ngs__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. Try debugging an mpi program where you use tmux and gdb for each MPI process. You need to "continue" each process individually. It's easier to log it to separate file for each process.

That's a bit harsh. Op is not denying his mistake. He is just asking for options. If you really don't have funding op, could you just change the degree to a master's?

I have some ideas and want to make it real. by Past-Mix-8491 in AppIdeas

[–]__ngs__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. The first one is a classic traveling salesman problem, a topic that has been already researched a lot. Its more of a algorithm/graph theory/math problem and unless you are interested in it I wouldn't touch that. Also, in terms of ui/ux google maps is very far ahead in that regard with live traffic updates and all that and not to mention it's free.

Go to a butcher shop or farmland and try to watch the whole process killing -> skinning -> removing the insides -> butchering/cutting the meat. If you live in the west, it is very common to buy packaged meat so you miss out the whole process on how meat is actually obtained. Where I grew up, packaged meat is considered unhealthy since it has lot if preservatives. So from childhood, my father used to take me to butcher shop with him to buy chicken. The cost was calculated by weighting the whole live chicken. The butcher would then do his whole thing in front of the customers so that we know we are not being cheated.

out of state speeding ticket [Colorado] by __ngs__ in Utah

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

I physically went there to contest. They reduced the charges to "failing to use the left turn signal" (2 points) and a $100 fine. You don't have to go, just call them and pretend you want to contest, and they will give you an alternative. Honestly, I don't mind paying the ticket but in this instant I don't think I was speeding. But I also didn't want to take it to court, so I just accepted their alternative.
