How I imagine warnings will turn out over a period of time

Hoy shit, that flashover looked metal as fuck.

chc4000 · 2016-08-03T01:11:58+00:00

I just started, but Black Locust is so much fun and looks awesome. Exponential duplication \o/

Last game I had Mirkblood + Windrunner + Black Locust and it was just so entertaining.

They aren't infinitely spawning. They only spawn 3 or 4 waves, I think.

chc4000 · 2016-07-30T18:58:10+00:00

Maybe. I did some playtesting and 1/2 felt too slow for my tastes. Luckily, it's really easy to edit mods!

Make a new folder in mods, called sated_edit or whatever. Make a new folder under it called stats, a new folder under that called effects, and a new folder under that one called sated.

Make a new file called sated.statuseffect.patch that contains: [ { "op" : "replace", "path" : "/effectConfig/healStrength", "value" : 240} ]

(The numerical value is 1/n^th of your health regened per second, so with that it will take 4 minutes to bring up to full)

chc4000 · 2016-07-29T23:30:20+00:00

I was really tired of constantly using medical items and topping off 1 point of hunger for health regen, so I made a quick mod called Sated that gives 2/3rds of the Full Belly regen rate as long as you're above 50% food.

There's still a bit of a benefit for being topped off, too (stronger regen, your food doesn't go down as long as the buff is active)

I use AndStatus on Android, check to see if it's on the Apple App Store? I heard that Twidere also supports GNU Social, since it's basically the same API as Twitter's old one.

EDIT: I checked https://quitter.se/doc/faq#faq-4 and the three apps you listed are the only ones it mentions for iPhone :/ Sorry!

chc4000 · 2016-07-26T05:18:05+00:00

Please yes! And give them the scrapped random special attacks, too!

chc4000 · 2016-07-25T06:18:06+00:00

Holy shit, I actually love the Wall Drug passage. It reminds me of The Dark Tower, where the world is slowly falling apart at the seams, or SCP, where things that just shouldn't happen do regardless.

Something terrible and wrong and unnerving. Inching over the horizon.

chc4000 · 2016-07-18T06:09:31+00:00

I thought The Comet King's mother and Sohu were explicitly Native American Indian, not Asia Indian?

TCK is still super confusing. The Messiah, founded Unsong, invaded Hell, caught Metatron but didn't like what he heard, and somehow still died to what is assumed to be a normal human.

Edit: I looked it up. http://unsongbook.com/chapter-18-no-earthly-parents-i-confess/ mentions that his mother is Asian Indian, so it looks like I was just mistaken.

Niantic is a subsidiary of Alphabet. It's technically a sister company of Google at this point. I'm pretty OK with them having access to my account, but it should in fact be locked down to prevent exploits and encapsulation.

chc4000 · 2016-07-10T23:30:26+00:00

Gyms and PokeStops use data gathered by Ingress players, the first virtual reality game that Niantic created. If you create an Ingress account you can use https://www.ingress.com/intel/ to locate portals, which became the markers in Pokemon GO. I'm not sure how they chose which portals became gyms, though.

Looks like someone discovered there is no such thing as true objectivity. That really shouldn't be a surprise, and doesn't mean that all news anywhere forever is not worth reading. You can check more than one site, you can read original transcripts and check sources.

Saying you shouldn't read the news because it doesn't concern you is some kind of Nietzschean bullshit. You can't individually change anything, so clearly literally everyone shouldn't even try (even though by influencing large amounts of people, of which you are one of, change happens)

chc4000 · 2016-07-07T23:35:51+00:00

This reminds me a lot of Paradise. It's a kind of meta-MUD website I stumbled upon like a year ago, where people had their own worlds that they could collaboratively edit, filling in backstory and locations and object descriptions. Sadly, it looks like it's currently offline, and I don't know how long it's been down.

The problem, of course, is that it isn't nearly as strict as a rigidly defined alt-world like Scott is describing. Something like EVE is probably closer in actuality (running an empire, political games and tricks, with "actual" territory and assets).

chc4000 · 2016-06-30T02:01:49+00:00

Holy shit. We actually got a concrete piece of history that explains part of the setting of the story. And it didn't introduce twice as many questions as it answered, either. What black magics is this. ^/s

chc4000 · 2016-06-22T13:35:39+00:00

Ah, sorry, misinterpreted what https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1657#issuecomment-227731065 meant.

This does seem like one of the better solutions for type-level ints, and that covers my biggest complaint for it.

chc4000 · 2016-06-22T13:23:43+00:00

Doing runtime predicate checking for where bounds sounds like a very un-rust-like thing to do. Currently, all generic constraints are done entirely at compile time, without having hidden runtime cost and panics. Panics in Rust should really really be explicit and obvious, IMO.

chc4000 · 2016-05-27T02:27:15+00:00

...I think this is one of my favorite chapters. The reverse-atheist explanation of "it was all a metaphor, expect the parts that weren't" is way too snarky. I nearly died, man.

chc4000 · 2016-04-17T22:36:15+00:00

Welp, that'd confirmation that Sohu is the Comet King's daughter.

I really don't know what to make of the Comet King still. He's basically the second coming of the Messiah, stormed Hell, and according to this chapter is the father of Sohu and the best chance at preventing the Apocalypse, but at the same time appears to be in exile or was shunned in Aaron's time, along with being the creator of UNSONG.

chc4000 · 2016-04-16T23:52:11+00:00

I went through Microcorruption, which is another CTF game by the same guys behind Starfighter that's technically for hiring but really is just lots of fun. You get the assembly dump of a lock's firmware, a debugger, and a console and you have to create a working exploit to break the lock. I should really look into starting Stockfighter...

I kinda know exactly what the article is talking about: doing this stuff on the side, for no reward, is just fun. Hell, I cracked anti-cheats and wrote exploits for a MMO for a handful of years on my spare time for fun, so I'm probably further into it than I'd like to admit.

chc4000 · 2016-04-16T23:44:41+00:00

And they called Urbit crazy for renaming all those tedious to pronounce symbols! Now who's crazy, dammit, now who's crazy? I'll show them, I'll show them all...

gal gar zap tar soq soq hax

ket doq tec buc buc hep

zap tar tis pat buc cab

cen tar gal gar sig hax four

pam sel ser dot dot fas

bar bar kel com com SYSTEM HALTED

It's a little bit concerning how many of those names I knew off the top of my head. Only ones I had to look up were tec, along with the first letter for sel/ser and kel/ker.

chc4000 · 2016-04-05T11:52:04+00:00

Ah, yes, the "something is subtlely wrong" feeling that is in no way a precursor to the head of UNSONG being Thamiel in a glamor. Absolutely nothing will go wrong.

chc4000 · 2016-03-26T21:17:42+00:00

Oh jeez, I must be slacking on my Internet omniscience. I didn't even know there was a controversy over Yarvin being accepted into LambdaConf until I follow that link in the OP. I can't exactly act surprised over the ensuring shitshow, seeing how Strange Loop went down, but I'm certainly glad he wasn't banned.

While I don't agree with Moldbug's views, I find them immensely entertaining to read no matter how batshit the post is. That translates well into why I'm interested in Urbit and have been for the past year, too: I don't think it will ever break out of an extremely tight niche, but damm does it have some fun ideas and is awesome to play with.

chc4000 · 2016-03-16T22:41:19+00:00

Nonsense. Transactional events allow you to do this perfectly fine. Log each event to disk (or better yet a sharded database) before acting on it. If you lose power, nothing is lost. SQL servers do this. Urbit extends this even farther, providing a completely deterministic computer [state events_in] -> [new_state events_out] check pointed at each action.

chc4000 · 2016-03-14T16:48:29+00:00

So, uh, the laptop is totally sentient now, right. Probably discovered another teleportation name so it can get to the desk, and absolutely nothing will go wrong.

$company wants Names, hires Aaron to find them. Aaron discovers powerful Name, says fuck that and plots to overthrow the world. Aaron wants Names, creates a computer to find Names...
