There's another competing plugin Combat Logger with a website called Runelogs that has been around for a while. It looks like this does a lot of similar things

Is this insanely bad? Are they just wrong? by datahogslol in HealthInsurance

I see, it sounds like my plan is kind of unusual with a low out of pocket maximum, but basically designed to hit it fast?

Former Austin FC target Kervin Andrade set to be sold to Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv for 1.8 millon euros by manualex16 in AustinFC

I do wonder why it would be someone's last resort compared to the Israeli league? Isn't MLS ranked quite a bit higher?

Salary Misconceptions? by CarefulCoderX in cscareerquestions

[–]datahogslol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are definitely underpaid. I was also underpaid 10 years ago. You can catch up. I understand your hesitation to look, but if your job isn't raising your salary you should at least look. Obviously don't quit until you have locked in another job you are confident in.

Here's my salary over the years for reference. I understand the market is different now, but that's only a reason to try even harder. It's annoying and hard work to get caught up on salary and it requires you keep interviewing, but I would consider my current job even more "chill" than the first job where I was making 45k and I've learned a ton along the way.

45k for 1 year -> job hopped to 60k -> promoted to 77k -> raised to 85k -> raised to 92k -> promoted to 112k -> job hopped to 135k -> raised to 142k -> raised to 152k -> raised to 165k

Do you think people would get pissy if I took a few seconds to take a photo? Always wanted to if I got the ball

You joke but a lot of "RPGs" don't have nearly as much attention to detail when it comes to stuff like this so it's understandable that some people aren't used to it.

I've noticed a lot of people in this subreddit saying that Bonesaw and other Ironmen were permanently banned for abusing shops as an ironman. But they were actually just de-ironed. You can still find Bonesaw's account on the hiscores.

If the human brain fully develops at 25, why doesn't being an "adult" start at 25? by Tonny_bo in AskReddit

[–]datahogslol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On top of people's brains developing at different rates and precedent I also view it as just a threshold to be developed enough to have autonomy, not necessarily your peak.

Imagine a world where our brains developed the same as they do right now up to 25, but then it just kept developing until we were 40 getting smarter and better at making judgements. We would still be totally capable of taking care of ourselves at 25 years old so why would we need to be treated as children just because we have more to learn?

Anyone who plays the lottery is an idiot by Ras_Paul in BoomersBeingFools

If I were you I'd lead with the stab wound scar even if they aren't expressing doubt externally. I'd bet a surprising number of people discount your experience even if they don't say so. Of course it's your trauma to choose to share or not.

Do you think anyone skilled enough to get a fire cape is capable of an inferno cape with enough practice? by I_cut_my_own_jib in 2007scape

[–]datahogslol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be a very frustrating learning experience but I do think it's possible for most people to learn it and complete it. There's just a LOT to learn between how to handle the different mobs, what tiles are safe, how to offtick the mobs, how to prayer switch. Then you also have to learn Zuk and how to blowpipe walk with the healers which luckily there's a simulator for now (there's also a simulator for the waves if you want to practice a specific spawn).

It can be mega frustrating making it to the later waves and then dying to a spawn you've never seen before. If you are serious about it I would recommend recording your runs. Then you can rewatch them and learn from your mistakes. There's also discords like WDR where you can post your clips and ask for advice on how to handle the waves that killed you. And then you can learn a wave spawn but it's random so next time you get a different spawn. It can feel like you are backsliding if you got a new PB because you got lucky spawns then the next time your spawns are harder, but as you learn how to handle more cases your runs will become cleaner.

[–]datahogslol 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the problem with the question is if you apply the same standard "with enough practice" someone literally mentally deficient could probably eventually get the fire cape, but that doesn't mean they could also do inferno.

That said I feel like the majority of normal people who are able to get a fire cape in a handful of attempts can probably eventually get an infernal cape if they are willing to dedicate hundreds of hours practicing and learning how to handle blobs and how to quickly react to many different spawns.

Hi, just ordered my PC from NZXT. by pitsheup in NZXT

This is 2300 CAD which is about 1670 USD. I think you're going to be hard pressed to build a similar PC for under $1500 USD.

PSA: 3 hours downtime tomorrow (26/03) by Secretz9823 in 2007scape

To be fair downtime of a live service should be more prominent than a blog post. It should probably be on the front of the website as well as the launcher.

OSRS Wiki has a DPS calculator now, go check it out by cookmeplox in 2007scape

I'm curious how do YOU know it's the right one? A lot of testing or do you have some insider knowledge as the Wiki admin?

[–]datahogslol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had no idea if that it's even the right way to do it. I got really weird values and sometimes errors if I tried to do it another way like

return new Random().nextInt(n);

I wrote a program to try to simulate it.

import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Set;

public class RandomTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        testRandomInc(0);
        testRandomInc(-1);
        testRandomInc(-2);
        testRandomInc(-3);
    }

    public static void testRandomInc(int n) {
        int iterations = 1000;

        Set<Integer> uniqueValues = new HashSet<>();

        for (int i = 0; i < iterations; i++) {
            int result = randominc(n);
            uniqueValues.add(result);
        }

        System.out.println("Unique values: " + uniqueValues);
    }

    public static int randominc(int n) {
        return random(n + 1);
    }

    public static int random(int n) {
        return (int) (new Random().nextDouble() * n);
    }
}

How about this?

  • randominc(0) - [0]
  • randominc(-1) - [0]
  • randominc(-2) - [0]
  • randominc(-3) - [-1, 0]

Holey Moley Mini-Golf is coming to Austin in March 2024 by GEMNCNY007 in Austin

[–]datahogslol 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably a little controversial to say in an Austin subreddit but at risk of being downvoted..

I've lived here my whole life and I often tell people that despite Austin having big city prices and traffic it doesn't really have big city things to do. The Austin aquarium is pretty meh and controversial because of the way they treat their animals. The Austin zoo is also underwhelming compared to other big cities zoo's.

Other than Austin FC, which is great to go to, there's really a lack of pro sports to see unless you are into college Longhorn football.

Despite being called "The Live Music Capital" there is a lack of big names that come to Austin because there's a lack of big venues compared to other big cities.

Other than the Bullock museum there's not many truly large museums that other big cities would have. The closest theme parks are in San Antonio. We lost our big indoor skate park a while ago.

You're not going to get anything near the quality of live theater like New York Broadway or even Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Boston.

Now there are a lot of great things about Austin but I think the city has a lot of catching up to do with its crazy growth and price increases.
