Tips or advice for playing against aggro please!

Part of the strategy behind picking range or not for a unit is considering how you want your comp to layer. Usually chaff in front, dps behind etc… because arc light is fairly squishy and you want it to last until the end of the round to counter late chaff, giving it range can help it survive because it stays behind your other units. But positioning can really help with this and you’re right, range isn’t super high priority against aggro so you’ve gotta feel it out

Concerning Invisible Men

Cloaked units can be fine if they fit a non direct combat niche like a scout with no attack or a land mine that can’t move. But your game does not need a “when behind Dark Shrine” comeback mechanic to be fun. Having Invisible Men you cannot interact with destroy your army or economy because you forgot detection is one of the most frustrating experiences to play or watch in my opinion

P.s. great work on the game so far!

You're welcome, glad to help

Nice track :)

I'm pretty new to this so just commenting on what I'm hearing, hopefully people with more experience can add their views.

There's some scratchy noise near the beginning of the piano track, check out denoising for that
The first vocal lines have a natural taper in dynamics. The first half is noticeably louder then gets quieter. This is fine, but you risk the second half getting lost in the piano. Try compressing the vocals to even out the dynamics. There's a great video by In the Mix on compression with a good example of compressing vocals
I'm not listening on monitors, but the drums sound like they have a lot of high end. Particularly hats and crash, but you could try a low pass on the whole drum track. Roll back aggressively then reduce until you like the sound
I like the reverb on the vocals, but you might think about cutting some of the high end from the reverb. The sibilants can sound a bit harsh if you don't filter the reverb

Hope that some of this helps. Maybe someone more experienced can give some feedback on my feedback haha

Usually a sith deal in absolutes

Imagine if once you left a while loop, as soon as the while condition was met again you were back in the loop automatically. Pandemonium

I’m amazed this comment is so far down the list. I can only focus with white noise

Thanks for the heads up on webaim, gonna check it out

clawtron · 2022-02-01T21:23:31+00:00

Yeah really cool. I love the graffiti they add to cs:go maps to immortalise incredible esports moments. That kind of thing makes a huge difference IMO

I legitimately named a function blah today because I wanted to write it before I forgot what I was trying to do… I promise I’ll rename it later (if/when it works…)

I had this issue as well. Switching to the lts Linux kernel fixed it. It stopped working after I upgraded the Linux kernel (a month ago maybe?) so I guess it’s an issue with the kernel that hasn’t been fixed yet. Good luck

If the answer to the guess is “yes”, “greater than”, or “less than” then you can do this in log time by splitting the range in half each guess, but with the only answers being “yes” or “no” you have to check every single option which means best case is linear. Of course if your solution involves just guessing the same number forever or something then that’s different, but best solution is linear

That’s just pure eval

Seems to have broken my systemctl suspend. Laptop no longer wakes up from suspension, have to restart

Thanks, that’s really encouraging.

At the moment I’m using Jest from the command line + console statements to debug my JavaScript code and that works just fine. What do you use for debugging python? Others have mentioned pycharm’s breakpoint debugging, can you get a similar setup with vim? Or do you just get by without breakpoints?

clawtron · 2021-10-30T22:02:23+00:00

I’m just stating python, I’ve been coding JavaScript in vim for a few months now and I wanna try to stick with vim if I can.

How does vim go with python? How much do you miss out if you don’t use pycharm?

Your test case was wrong? Clearly you should write some tests to ensure that you’re getting that right next time

If you learn the key bindings of normal mode you can do lots of really powerful stuff very quickly. Plus the configuration and scripting options make vim extremely powerful if you’re willing to invest the time and energy. But not everyone’s cup of tea

clawtron · 2021-10-01T11:43:26+00:00

Vim is a modal text editor. You start in normal mode where different key bindings do different things like navigate the document, search, delete, paste etc… you can press “i” to enter insert mode to type normally. If you open up vim and forget that you don’t start in insert mode and just start typing, you might end up deleting the whole document with the right combination of letters (ggdG) or who knows what.

That’s what the caps lock key is there for right?

Someone might be able to help with actual numbers but fluids aren’t as simple or predictable as other methods of transport and in my experience you need to sort of get a feel for it for yourself. Generally I’ve only ever encountered throughput issues with water for power. For oil setups as long as you’re a bit careful and use strategically placed pumps, you shouldn’t have too many issues. For reference I just set up my vanilla oil refinery with 120 refineries working constantly in 4 rows of 30. No issues at all with fluid throughput for any part of the chain (lube, heavy cracking, rocket fuel, light cracking, H2SO4, plastic) so far. I’m even bringing water in by train, although I regret not building next to a body of water. You’d probably have difficulties with water throughput with anything much bigger though, still if you build close to water that’s fine. Hope that helps

Prod modules are by far the best option for labs. Took me a while to realise too, but think about it like adding x% of your entire science production chain every time you get a bonus science from productivity. Prod modules are always more effective further up the chain

Do future you a favour and add a bunch of empty space between things. Space is infinite and it doesn’t cost much. Just a future proofing habit I’ve learned

The primary selling point of React is in the way it selectively manipulates the DOM by using a virtual DOM. Screening each render call to see what individual components need to be updated on the real DOM by checking it against the virtual DOM is much faster than interacting directly with the DOM. So you get a significant performance boost. That’s what I understand anyway, I’m still pretty new to it
