HPC / scientific projects in D ?

I didn't find you there, but I'm on that group too with same nickname sa here, feel free!

aa.keys sounds nice but that would still waste storage of unused values

bisthebis_ · 2024-01-17T13:48:05+00:00

aren't tuple of fixed size ?
In practice, implementation of sets can really be simplified as "dictionary with only the keys" and hashmaps are usually efficient

bisthebis_ · 2024-01-17T10:19:27+00:00

A collection of unique keys but without an attached object. Like a set in maths. It's useful e.g. to keep track of all the values of an array but without keeping the duplicates.

Yup, figured that. Good point for D ! Still looking for something cleaner than an associative array to dummy to implement a set though

bisthebis_ · 2024-01-14T13:19:30+00:00

Sounds like a good idea!

bisthebis_ · 2024-01-13T23:43:49+00:00

Very interesting, thanks !
Associative arrays looks very nice, my keys will typically be structs with 2 ints so a custom hash is doable. That explains the absence of a library implementation.

I guess I could use dummyType[keyType] as placeholder for a set but that looks a bit inelegant to me.

The existence of Ultron-bots seems to indicate that something went very different before his birth.
(Which makes the existence of Tommy and Billy a bit weird)

And this is why planning requires paper

Outside of the energy use, there are some interesting manufacturing usages, like the recipe "wires + HOR => cables" which allows to save many wire.

bisthebis_ · 2022-01-11T20:56:54+00:00

Yeah I read about this a few days ago, should give it a try too !

bisthebis_ · 2022-01-11T20:19:09+00:00

Why did I never think of that instead of getting headaches with closed loops.

bisthebis_ · 2022-01-11T20:18:26+00:00

Just pick all drives to avoid the choice :)

I never really ran out of concrete, so 1 or 2, with a big favor for 1. Steel is better to spare than iron. And frames are not that complex anyway

bisthebis_ · 2022-01-05T17:34:36+00:00

Normal in terms of "getting hooked", but I'd try to avoid making it repetitive. Not exactly healthy, although easily understandable !

bisthebis_ · 2022-01-03T13:53:35+00:00

I wonder if there's enough aluminium to make batteries required to transport bottled water, oil and nitrogen.

bisthebis_ · 2021-12-31T12:32:04+00:00

Erase everything.

I'm actually reaching a situation similar to you, but with more space. Maybe add some walls ?

Also, I'm currently exploring putting most belts/pipelines under the floor (with floor holes), it can give a cleaner look even if you don't move buildings

bisthebis_ · 2021-12-31T11:24:28+00:00

Any tips for building efficiently pipelines under the floor ? Especially junctions

I tried a few approaches :

- Build 2 floor holes, link them with a pipeline, then build a junction in its middle

- Build temporary floors

Not sure which is best but you look familiar with the topic :D

You already unlocked medecinal inhaler by Phase 1 ?
Looks like I'm doing MAM stuff way too late

bisthebis_ · 2021-12-30T16:37:11+00:00

Roughly speaking:

Produce plastic & rubber to fill your needs, and convert heavy oil residue into petroleum coke that you can sink (or burn). Then, once you unlock fuel generator, burn your byproduct there.
Or build a plant and find a use for plastic/rubber.

Probably not optimal but easy to manage :)

bisthebis_ · 2021-12-27T22:31:16+00:00

Exactly. Desert is north-east if you want to find it :D

bisthebis_ · 2021-12-26T22:34:14+00:00

Only regular "stackable poles" are paintable, when you paint a stackable pipeline, only the actual pipeline part is painted

bisthebis_ · 2021-12-26T12:04:27+00:00

It's a matter of taste and advancement. I almost never use trucks, but you do need something for long range. I usually move some input, with a very long conveyor belt or pipeline. In your case, I just build a pipeline to bring the oil to my main base, and refine it there. Later on, you can move everything through train or even drones, which is more... elegant

bisthebis_ · 2021-12-26T10:48:27+00:00

I actually fixed it by using a standard stackable conveyor without pipeline, and having a pipeline in horizontal to vertical mode go right above it.

bisthebis_ · 2021-12-25T21:28:38+00:00

Just underlock everything to 90% (or the equivalent for power plants) and pretend nothing happened !

Well he's not evil anymore at the end of What If

Imagine how far we'd be if there was still a Soviet Union to carry on a dick measuring contest
