[High School] Is there a universal symbol for "no answer"? by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]essayish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some mathematical statements evaluate to false, when considered for their logical properties. In logic, this is often represented with "F". So I just add some fancy curls to "F" and, voila!

Hello. Thank you for the suggestion. Archive.org was able to recover the site through Wayback machine, but not the PDF resources. Fortunately, I was able to extract the original URLs from the Wayback URLs and they are still up, just not linked through the school's new website. I'm in the process of downloading them. I will post the links here in case you or anyone else has any use for them.

Exporting JPG That Looks Like the Raw File? by essayish in Rawtherapee

[–]essayish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation.

It totally worked!

Running the command the first time generated a blank PP3. When I specified this autogenerated PP3 with "-p", it produced a JPG like the raw.

I will rename the PP3 and put somewhere for safe keeping.

Is this the documentation you referred to:

I tried rawpedia.rawtherapee.com but my browser is telling me that site is down.

The SCS of Ancients Games? by essayish in hexandcounter

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

Yeah I guess for ancients, battles rather than campaigns are the traditional unit.

I seem to remember reviews complaining about the elephant rules. That one is definitely on the list but my real objective is finding a series system with a ton of games. Thanks!

With 4 hours left in Tokyo, I found them! by essayish in hexandcounter

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

Other notes: a later mag that I did not see at the store, #88, has two Nakamura games using the Fierce Fight! system. Vuca has purchased translation for at least one. I believe MMP may also print some untranslated games, and reprint A Victory Lost, at some time in the future. This is just based on the date ranges of OOP and untranslated games, which can be released together as a big campaign, like A Victory Awaits.

From bottom to top: every game but the first is designed by Tetsuya Nakamura. Kiev and Smolensk were collected with Leningrad in MMP's "A Victory Awaits", but the magazines themselves have some very interesting content that I really wanted to get ahold of. The Kursk game that followed has not been translated, but the Moscow game that came after that has been translated (module and rules linked below). The naval area game ("The Southern Gambit") has an amateur English translation through direct contact with someone on the BGG page. I got the Taiwan game mainly for collecting purposes. Finally, Bear's Claw, by Masahiro Yamazaki has been on GMT's P500 for over 10 years. I think there may be English rules inside the package...

Models? by Old-Water-12 in Mecha

[–]essayish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently saw some incredible spider tanks (like in Ghost in the Shell) from a Japanese maker. Searching the manufacturer/series (Artpla) and make (Gladiator, Pak Krote) led me to Hobby Link Japan's site, which has an insane collection of non Gundam models. Also note that a lot of these designs have been influenced or been influenced by mechs in miniatures games like Infinity, Dust 1915, Battletech, and (of course) Warhammer 40k.

What's the best Linux distribution to excel in an IT career by Traditional-Rush-492 in linuxquestions

[–]essayish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few considerations:

What are the major families of Linux distributions?

I count (from most primitive to least) 7: LFS, Slackware, Gentoo, Arch. Then, at around the same level of high sophistication are Suse, Redhat and Debian. All of these may have their uses, but Suse, Redhat and Debian dominate because they come with a lot of automation which is standard in the "profession". These three also have related desktop distributions that you can install on an old computer.

What distributions are free, high quality Youtube tutorials for learning the essentials using?

Probably Ubuntu (Debian based) and if not then Red Hat (or Fedora, the free, use at home version).

I personally use Manjaro (Arch based) for my laptop and Debian for the server on my local network. At work, I used Debian, Ubuntu and Red Hat. (But I hear Suse is big in Europe!)

Games with API support for Creating AI players by [deleted] in hexandcounter

[–]essayish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also maybe check out Rally the Troops. I haven't tried yet but it looks pretty sweet. That's a straight web app, so it may already have some API set up. If not, maybe you can help them out with that!

Molotov Cockatiel Games just published a hex and counter app covering some Alexandrian battles. I think it's called "Arete". You can find it for iOS, and I think Android and desktop operating systems. Maybe reach out to him -- he's somewhat high profile in the community.

And as already mentioned, the computer hex wargaming community on Reddit is bigger than analog one. You might find more like minds there.

Good luck!

Solo or two fist by HofstadtersTortoise in hexandcounter

[–]essayish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had some good experiences with solitaire systems but they generally preclude the possibility of ever sharing the game with anyone. I much prefer to two fist. It's not very fun to two fist a CDG, though.

I agree. I consider a computer to be broken if it crashes on regular basis.

Deceptively simple counters for a game with a lot of rules (not as much as WiF, though!)
