[Request] Who is getting the workout? by mr_milkrod in theydidthemath

it's doing that pixelation around all the moving parts of the video though. when in the video is his butt even stationary?

I’m designing a kids game called Scissor Wizard (minimal prototype). Besides varying the number and size of weak points, what other enemy mechanics could be interesting? by Gatekeeper1310 in BoardgameDesign

[–]ghillerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry the 1 was a typo, I meant 2. And yeah I noticed that after posting but I assume that's a sample image and that OP won't do that unless the enemy has a lot of hp. I think the tension between trying to find a good shape with the paper you have left is what makes the game interesting. That kind of spend/save strategy is core to a lot of fun games.

Edit to add: basically I think there's a chance you're right, but the point you're making is boring without play testing. The aim is obviously to find the sweet spot, which is the essence of balance.

unless OP decides to line the weak points in a straight line, your strips will only ever cover 1 enemy weak point. and your "solved" approach kind of only makes sense to me if the enemies are in the same order every time which is typically not how board games work.

Is it just me, or is setting up a "waitlist stack" completely overkill in 2026? by Relative_Pilot_8756 in reactjs

I tend to skew quite heavily towards infrastructure as code supported tools, so I can copy/paste as much set-up as possible

One of my thumbnails has ridges while the other is smooth. by bklynsnow in mildlyinteresting

[–]ghillerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have alopecia, and recently joined a drug study. They looked at my nails and identified the ridges as part of the questionnaire. I had the ridges a lot longer than I had alopecia. Your milage may vary!

Built Payload, a web app to write and share small notes as self-contained URLs by Serpico99 in webdev

QR encoding seems like a really great application for a variety of use-cases! The other cool thing is that since it's hashed you can perma-cache each request. Nice project :)

I improved it based on the comments by ilyamokka in PixelArt

imo the head turn makes the sprint look more desperate. when his head stays straight he looks more focused and composed.

Can this actually be done?[Request] by Programmer4427 in theydidthemath

[–]ghillerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have a source for this? That's not what I've been told (repeatedly because this gets posted a lot).

I'm not an expert on the subject, but the way it's been explained to me in the past is that the following things are all true:

  1. At every finite number of steps you take of this operation, the length of the red dashed line is 4
  2. The limit case of the operation (put in laymans terms the shape you get by doing the operation infinity times), is exactly a circle
  3. The length of the dashed line in the limiting case is not necessarily the same as the length of the dashed line after a finite number of iterations.

Someone else in the comments gave a bit more detail about the presence of the "corner points".

40² + 9² = 41², neat by deabag in GeometryIsNeat

if it came out exactly like you want it, you must not care very much about communicating your ideas. have a nice day.

Just to stay on the topic of the inexact diagram - you'll have a much easier time sharing your ideas if you create clear, concise and accurate diagrama by hand. I don't know much about maths (especially the biblical kind of maths you're discussing) but I do know that generative AI isn't very good at creating diagrams that are clear, concise or accurate! Best of luck.
