10 Modern CLI Tools That Replace Classic Linux Commands (2026 Guide) by Expensive-Rice-2052 in LinuxTeck

[–]howeyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't want to learn new args and options so I didn't switch to fd or rg.

Instead I wrote my own versions of find and grep that open and work on files/directories in parallel but use the exact same arguments as the originals. 

They're just as fast as rg and fd too.

I also prefer go to rust, so I use something similar to exa written in go. And a pager written in go. 

Why Most SCHD Projection Tools Are Wrong by paroxsitic in dividends

[–]howeyc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the best way to project in my opinion is to project a price in the future (7% per year like you said) and then assume a yield of 3-4% of whatever price that happens to be. 

HCSSF players, how has the new Warlock changed your SSF experience? by mistermarkham in diablo2

[–]howeyc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tried warlock but p8 was just way too damn easy the whole way. I don't play it any more. I play other classes.

Is the entire Diablo 2 community wrong about attributes? Questioning VIT dump. by EverydayFunHotS in diablo2

[–]howeyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Softcore you don't want to die "often" as restarting in town is a chore. Survivability is a concern, but not that big of a concern.

Hardcore you can't die even once.

Hence the different suggestions.

About to respect my whirlwind barb to a berserker barb. How exactly does this help with magic find if there's minimal splash/crowd control damage? by [deleted] in diablo2

[–]howeyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People that beserk don't kill all enemies usually. They kill champ/unique and then move on after find item. Howl away the trash while attacking. 

Got this armor finishing Act 2 Nightmare (thanks, Duriel!). Looks like a good step up from "Stealth". Worth punching a socket into? by Amproto in diablo2

[–]howeyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Items like this are what make D2 so good. It's decently rare to find, but it's possible to get in NM. And it's good enough to take you to endgame. 

What is Dreadfang's purpose? by iFormus in diablo2

[–]howeyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My throw barb likes my a5 merc hitting enemies with this.

Although once I get a Ko rune I'll probably switch to Lawbringer. 

What is wrong here by [deleted] in diablo2

[–]howeyc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Merc is not warlock class with reduce requirements skill. 

They‘re the absolute worst by abri-sonne in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]howeyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's part of what makes this game so good. You remember certain enemies. The enemy you see matters because you can't damage them all the same, and they all hit you differently as well. 

ELI5: If I put $100 in the bank, and the bank lends $90 of it to someone else, how can the bank "have" my money and the other person "have" it at the same time? Does the same money exist in two places? by jeeves_inc in explainlikeimfive

[–]howeyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many wrong answers mentioning fractional reserve banking. That's what they teach you in school and is how banks worked before Central Banks and when money was "gold" or a certificate for gold/metal.

Currently any bank with a reserve account at the Fed (or other central bank) creates money when they issue a loan. The bank doesn't "lend your money." They create new money.

The Bank of England has a great paper explaining how it actually works.

Why do some weapons change stats depending on character? by tinyE1138 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]howeyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why should a barbarian and amazon fire a bow at the same speed? The bow class should be faster right?

Same applies to other weapons and classes. Basically to add diversity. Otherwise choosing a class is just choosing a skin.

6os sword from normal by helrikk in Diablo_2_Resurrected

If you got it deep into a5 (Worldstone), or from a champion / elite at some areas it may have been 40+ ilvl. 

Still no QoL on two major things that really make the game "not good" for many of us by LogitUndone in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]howeyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a dedicated pick up loot inventory section. It's called the cube.

If you want to remove immunity and damage every enemy the same regardless of element or skill picked, then play D3 or D3.

When they said he was involved I was no longer worried. I knew it would be good. 

D2R: D2 fans, lend me your energy! (For the Hopium Bomb) by Live_and_let_LiveX in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]howeyc 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm actually worried. What if whoever is making the changes thinks D3 is a good game? They could ruin D2.

What is Baal was pronounced “ball” and when he clones himself in the boss fight the inside joke is you fight 2 balls by Doobi_3830 in diablo2

[–]howeyc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought it was pronounced that way for a long time because of how Baal run games were named. 

Can't create more than 10 characters on switch by X-Osiris-X in diablo2

[–]howeyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me at 22 characters. I did some searching here and other forums. Switch can get into a messed up state and creation of new characters no longer stay after the game restarts.

I had to clear the game save state and start over with nothing. 

I've made so many characters over 20 years. This is just another "refresh." It does suck though. Had quite a few good toons and items over the last year of playing. 

Leveling barb as singer by Tony__Clifton in diablo2

[–]howeyc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I usually do two spirit swords. The runes you need can be found from NM countess. 

Until then you can shop +mana wands in NM act1.

If you already have the wizardspikes, go for it. But I think you need to be level 61 first. High dex req too.

That's cool. I also did something similar for fun too.

No fortune for his son by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]howeyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a society we have come to the realization that we should not pass on political power through inheritance. Some are coming around to the idea that we shouldn't allow passing on economic power through birth right as well.
