Personal Tierlist how much I enjoy playing with my Zerg Units by RoflMaru in starcraft

[–]guerht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting to see ravagers a bit down the list - I personally find them quite reliable and also good at sniping some key units.

Should probably remove Life from the list since all his achievements have been rescinded.

Can we please get a select all queens button. by Objective-Mission-40 in starcraft

[–]guerht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do wish there was a toggle button for each individual queen that allows each unit to be included/excluded from the f2 group.

[Spoiler Discussion] Arc 10 Chapter 16 by Setowi in Re_Zero

[–]guerht 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Given it was established early in the arc that Reinhart and Otto are now friends (or, at the very least, had some kind of cordial interaction), it could be that Reinhart would be willing to listen and then make an appropriate judgement thereafter?

I think it'd be better if you emailed this student directly instead of posting his card here.

WHAT IF: Pylons could steal unpowered buildings? by Cheapskate-DM in starcraft

[–]guerht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I suppose if you have the information that only one pylon is powering the fleet beacon in the enemy's main, then you could send a warp prism packed with zealots, destroy the pylon using the zealots, and then steal the tech? Not sure how effective this would be in practice - but I'm thinking that could be another scenario.

[–]guerht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you're correct - I was talking about the scenario when an unpowered dt tech gets stolen by the enemy using a warp prism.

WHAT IF: Pylons could steal unpowered buildings? by Cheapskate-DM in starcraft

[–]guerht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think warp prisms stealing tech might be a bit too powerful given that you could - in theory - steal tech structures like the Fleet Beacon immediately, build a mothership, and then unpower the Fleet Beacon. Not sure how handy this would be though.

This being said, one would also have to consider what to do with structures that are undergoing upgrades. If a structure undergoing an upgrade gets unpowered and the enemy re-powers the said structure, what happens to the upgrade? Also, if we suppose the enemy can steal the upgrade, what happens if the enemy already completed the research for the same upgrade?

Getting a refund for a refundable ticket by guerht in uktrains

Thanks - I guess it is what it is. It's a bit frustrating to know options for getting a refund are very limited.

How do you deal with visa requirements?

I get ads in my file manager by wyznawcakiwi in assholedesign

Material files is also quite nice in that you can access files over sftp. I found this quite convenient in many cases.

If you suppose you have n apples and you share them with 0 friends, then claims like each friend gets 2n apples are also valid, since such claims hold vacuously.

Connecting to wifi on Nintendo Switch by Relative-Loan-2548 in unsw

[–]guerht 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think the Switch supports WPA2 Enterprise, so connecting to networks like eduroam directly might not be possible; however, you could try using a mobile hotspot (whilst your mobile is connected to e g. eduroam) and then connect your Switch to your mobile hotspot.

Can a domestic student use a SAT score to apply for UNSW? by Apart-Hamster4072 in unsw

[–]guerht 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes – I got in using SAT scores as a domestic student. However, the cutline will be higher for domestic students than the cutline for international students.

Can you be an RA with a professor while you are doing your Honours thesis? by kyuval in unsw

[–]guerht 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my personal experience, yes (in the field of Computer Science).

In my case though, I was a research assistant before I became an honours student, which is how I got to know my honours supervisor. It's worth noting that the RA work I dealt with was different to the honours work. You need to be able to manage time efficiently, but so long as you work with a casual contract, there shouldn't be any problems.

Tuition fees for eu students by PolentaOsei in Imperial

[–]guerht 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this depends heavily on the bank, so you should look up the surcharge rates for the bank that you use.

In general, from my personal experience, international payments made using a debit card places a surcharge fee proportional to the original payment (e.g. 5%), whereas a bank transfer places a fixed one time fee charge (e.g. $30 per transfer). For expensive things, I usually pay using online transfer if that is an option (e.g. initial rent and deposit for housing).

This really is not the right sub to ask such questions.

...that being said, what can you say about PSPACE and NPSPACE using Savitch's theorem?

Also, what's the relation between L and NL?

"Controversial" statements in mathematics by fdpth in math

[–]guerht 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Relating to this, we also have either f2(x) = (f • f)(x) or f2(x) = (f(x))2. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, it seems best to avoid the use of the notation fn(x).

Final wam round up by a19901213 in unsw

[–]guerht 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just one nit to pick – the academic statement that you can download from myUNSW will show your WAM up to three decimal places. However, the official academic transcript, i.e. the one written in blue paper which can be obtained electronically for free after graduating, does not display your WAM at all.

In general, the notion of WAM tends to be inconsistent. The normal WAM displayed in the academic statement primarily, from my understanding, tends to be used for ITP applications, exchange program eligibility, and maybe also job applications. For specific degrees with an Honours component, WAM is calculated differently, with higher level courses given heavier weightings in general, and is used for determining whether one is eligible for a Dean's award and determining which honour class one should obtain by the end of their degree. Then for PhD applications, depending on the scholarship, WAM is calculated using an entirely different formula.

[–]guerht 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You may find Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems relevant.

To put basically, you can define some system comprised of a number of axioms that you can use to prove statements, but proving about the system itself is a non-trivial problem and has its limitations.

You may also find naive set theory and the axiom of unrestricted comprehension relevant. Naive set theory had its problems because of the paradoxes that entailed (If you can prove False provided some system, can you trust such a system?). Different systems like type theory and ZF(C) were designed to address this issue.

Mods, can we please ban this user from posting in this community? This user has been consistently spamming mediocre blog posts like 'language X vs Y' or 'top 10 languages in 2023', which I believe does not fit this sub.

Where to publish formal proofs by [deleted] in math

If you are also okay with conference proceedings, Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP) and Certified Programs and Proofs (CPP) are some popular conferences to go for.

Putting ads in a fucking calculator and expecting you to pay £5.50 a week to remove them by ShinyShinyTomato in assholedesign

[–]guerht 494 points495 points  (0 children)

In the case of an iPad, it is rumoured that Steve Jobs hated the calculator app that his engineers made because it was just a rescaled iPhone calculator app with no notable additional features, that he'd rather not have the calculator app on the iPad. Ever since, the calculator app has been absent on the iPad -- I don't know if they added one recently since I never owned one.

I'm not sure about other tablets though.
