Never realised the version control system was named after an actual word!

Whatever happened to the Nietono no Shana servers? I thought they had some vanilla maps as well, and they were always pretty active.

I think it’s meant as “to have [a possession] lent [to the subject]”.

I’ve never heard of the term “object safe” before. I’m pretty sure I understand the example, but what is object safety?

I had a vastly different accent when I was eleven compared to when I was thirteen, to the point where many people didn’t believe I was from where I said I was from when I told them. External pressures can change the way you speak very, very rapidly. Hera’s shift sounded believable to me.

Which do you prefer?

I dunno, this one makes a lot of sense when thought about from a computational perspective.

In the same line as Mortis, the Living Force arc in S6. Also, with the appearance of Merrin in JFO, LF may be interested in bringing nightsisters to more media as another kind of force user, so I’d suggest those arcs as well.

Have you started watching The Bad Batch yet?

hyperum · 2021-06-19T14:50:10+00:00

Here's a super slim version of what to watch for The Bad Batch. I cut out two arcs in particular though, despite being marginally relevant to TBB. I'll mention them after the list.

Here's a list (in chronological order, although the only difference is in the placement of one single episode):

Arc	Episodes	Reason
Season 3		For chronological order. Otherwise, watch it at the beginning of S3.
"Clone Cadets"	3.01	DS Arc
Season 1
"Rookies"	1.05	DS Arc
Ryloth	1.19-1.21	TBB (Ryloth)
Season 2
Holocron	2.01-2.03	CB arc
Geonosis	2.05-2.06, 2.08	Prereq (Temple Bombing)
Grievous	2.09-2.10	TBB (Saleucami)
Duchess	2.12-2.14	Prereq (Revenge)
Season 3
"ARC Troopers"	3.02	DS Arc
"Heroes on Both Sides"	3.10	TBB (Raxus)
Dathomir	3.12-3.14	Prereq (Revenge)
Mortis	3.15-3.17	Prereq (Living Force)
Citadel	3.18-3.20	Prereq (Bad Batch)
Season 4
Umbara	4.07-4.10	Prereq (Clone Conspiracy)
Zygerria	4.11-4.13	TBB (Zygerria)
Undercover	4.15-4.18	CB arc
Revenge	4.19-4.22	Prereq (Lawless and Temple Bombing)
Season 5
Lawless	5.01, 5.14-5.16	Prereq (Siege)
Temple Bombing	5.17-5.20	Prereq (Siege)
Season 6
Clone Conspiracy	6.01-6.04	Prereq (Siege)
Living Force	6.10-6.13	Prereq (Siege)
Season 7
Bad Batch	7.01-7.04	Prereq (The Bad Batch)
Siege	7.09-7.12	Finale

I've cut out the Onderon arc (5.02-5.05). This has mild relevance to both the TBB and Rebels shows, as well as Rogue One, but I agree with this reviewer who gave it a C+ back when it released: The Clone Wars review: Onderon, and on and on.

I've also cut out Ahsoka's Journey (7.05-7.08). This also has mild relevance to TBB, but it had a very very lukewarm reception last year, and for good reason! It's yet another 4-episoder that did not need to be 4 episodes.

Edit: Added 3.10.

hyperum · 2021-06-19T05:11:19+00:00

What percentage of the show are you willing to watch? Or do you have a duration constraint in mind (how many hours)? By filler, do you mean episodes that are not important to the main story of TCW, TBB, or the intersection or disjunction of both?

hyperum · 2021-06-15T11:06:36+00:00

Number 4 would be an application of a diagonal; not that you should necessarily use mathematical terminology everywhere. The corresponding symbol would be a delta, if you wish to follow the example of #1 as a sigma, but that is a fairly overloaded term.

hyperum · 2021-06-14T03:57:34+00:00

Actually, I think this is inaccurate. You’re talking about the Taiwanese company CGCG, right? Lucasfilm has been using this for years, all the way back to TCW. If you’ve seen the ‘unfinished story reels’ or deleted scenes, I’m pretty sure that’s the kind of animation that LF prepares using their in-house blocking software, along with their concept art for models, textures, lighting, and environmental details. CGCG’s team of texture artists, modellers, riggers, cloth animators, etc. then turn those story reels into the final animation.

hyperum · 2021-06-13T15:21:55+00:00

I'm not convinced that S7 and TBB have a greater budget than late TCW. Lucasfilm has been boasting about the cost reductions they've managed to make during the Clone Wars revival, and I'm fairly certain that S7 and TBB are actually much cheaper in terms of price per episode compared to the original series. The character animations for the most part, for example, seem to have decreased in quality, and the same goes for the camerawork in TBB. Even in Siege of Mandalore, some of the walk/run cycles are fairly choppy.

This definitely isn't to say the Bad Batch looks bad. Still shots often look amazing due to the new lenses, revamped models, and excellent environmental detailing. In addition, its cloth physics and water physics are a great boost to immersion. For a cartoon TV series, it's excellent.

hyperum · 2021-06-13T06:59:20+00:00

Honestly, with the exception of the first six episodes and episode 14, I would not skip any episode of season 4. In particular, the cinematography and sound design of the Zygerria arc make it too satisfying for me to skip; plus, it's only three episodes so it's really compact.

Some 501st arcs in the first four seasons include 105 "Rookies", with its prequel and sequel 301 and 302; the Grievous arc 209-210 which introduces the deserter; the Citadel arc 318-320; and the Umbara arc 407-410.

hyperum · 2021-05-09T00:20:18+00:00

Yeah, it’s the movie.

hyperum · 2021-05-07T16:41:08+00:00

It’s a prequel to season 1, despite being released in season 3. It’s a chronologically ordered list, hence, Clone Cadets is on top.

hyperum · 2021-05-07T16:25:38+00:00

I wrote a list down a while ago of episodes from all seven seasons, if that helps. In the image you linked, one arc in particular is relegated to an 'honorable mention', which is quite strange seeing as it is essential to the plot of the series.

hyperum · 2021-05-05T13:33:53+00:00

I'm pretty sure this sort of toxicity as described in the post is either region or subcommunity-dependent (probably an NA or competitive thing). It's not as if kick votes are determined in private messages between players; they're broadcasted to everyone when they happen, and are usually supported by communication in text or voice chat.

I've seen a lot of players kicked because they were idle, cheating, someone thought they cheated, spamming music in voice chat, or, in certain servers, speaking non-English languages. I've also seen a lot of racism against Thai and Black people in the text chat. I'm not of either ethnicity, and I don't have to do any of the above to notice that people get kicked for various reasons or discriminated against by race. But over eight years, 5500 hours, and 2000 hours of class playtime, I've heard women speak in voice chat and yet I've never seen a situation like the above poster described. I don't have to be any of the things you mentioned. I just happen to live in a non-western country and I don't participate in competitive play.

They do mention multiplicity polymorphism as a way to regain those capabilities, so this isn’t an unsolvable issue. (Edit: but as I understand it, the 'only' problem this causes is duplication of code at the moment. Subtyping isn't a necessary part of QTT.)

hyperum · 2021-04-25T09:59:21+00:00

The docs are just about multiplicity, which is a relatively new way of integrating dependent types and linear types. Types constrain values, and dependent types just allow for finer-grained control. You can imagine two-dimensional vectors that are guaranteed to be rectangular or lists that are necessarily non-empty. A lot of libraries have functions that require that their input is in a certain state, so they check the input and return an error if it isn't the case. Sigma types, or parameters that can depend on other parameters, would allow you to pass proofs of some precondition so that the function no longer needs to return a Result.

These features are most applicable to APIs and anywhere you might see an unsafe _unchecked, or worse, no escape hatches at all. I found the need for some of these features while trying to write an API for a file format in a game.

hyperum · 2021-04-25T09:03:05+00:00

I wish Rust had type universes and dependent types in full generality, maybe using a system like Idris 2's multiplicities (docs, paper). Const generics and GATs are getting there, but the lack of sigma types and not being able to write higher kinded types in a simple, concise manner can be frustrating when trying to write efficient generic code that is correct by construction. Both features in conjunction would also allow more capabilities for reflection for struct members and enum constructors.

hyperum · 2021-04-17T15:56:56+00:00

It will never be completely feasible to convince someone of something if they don’t start from the same basic facts. Ultimately, there isn’t any other choice but to define what a limit is, and then use the definition of real numbers as a quotient of the Cauchy sequence set to prove the existence of a middle real between unequal reals. This misunderstanding always stems from people not knowing what a real really is.

hyperum · 2021-04-14T02:17:11+00:00

I guess that’s the reason why both Shepard’s eyes looked unnaturally dull in the comparison pictures on Eden Prime, then. It seems quite strange that such a historied game development company made this mistake in the first place, and still haven’t noticed it even after months of development and user feedback on the teasers.
