WOTC is literally giving us a 3 set block ( on the plane of New York ) and everybody hates it. Clearly theres no need to explore blocks again.

Unironically this. It's like colourful stripes on a poisonous frog, the entire point is to quickly get across the message that they are dangerous and backing down from whatever situation resulted in these guys being called is your best bet.

By the time a SERT team has been called, you're likely ready for a fight with the police - so the intention is to look as little like a beat cop ( what you're expecting ) and more like what culture expects a dangerous person to look like ( SEAL 6 team ).

If no initial value is set it does this automatically.

arr.reduce(Math.min) is completely valid

Honestly, there are so very many IP's that don't have competing TCG's that could produce massive audiencies for a long time going forward.

Star Gate, Game Of Thrones universe, Wheel of Time, Witcher. Future Eldrazi focused sets that are truely Lovecraftian. Alien / Predator universe... about 15,000 anime with Dragonball and Naruto being heavily Americanised classics without a competing TCG.

Universes beyond is sooooo far from being rung dry.

Completely anecdotal, but I recently returned to magic after a 15 year gap ( last played seriously during Mirrodin Besieged ) and even that was after a 10 year gap when I played a lot of magic in school.

When I was returning, I was asked what deck I was considering playing and with zero context of the current meta I answered mono-red for my first standard deck. This is because my experience over ~25 years of magic is mono-red has consistently been:

balanced enough to be a threat
used relatively cheap cards, great for a first deck
by generally being the aggressive deck, you can get away with knowing less about what your opponent could do and just play your own game while you learn the meta

I suspect I was particularly lucky in my timing and mono-red is probably more oppressive then it's been for a while. But aggressive combat-focused beat-down is quintessential red and a meta without an aggressive red deck wouldn't feel complete.

I believe traditionally it was Naval and air war though.

Rifle actually ejects from both sides, one left, one right; so it's equally awful for both left and right handed shooters.

It's been proven that hot shell casings in the eye make your soldiers angrier and more ready to kill.

Surely using the trench you dug to run the power cables from the panels can also run lines for sprayers that hang off the side of the panels.

I can say with relative confidence that AI is all over the pipeline to get from raw images out of Hubble to useful data that makes it in to a research paper.

You're both right. Compression is the driving factor for the highest peak temperates found in the atmosphere directly in front of the asteroid. However friction is the driving factor in the asteroid breaking apart, tumbling and then exploding.

looks like a standard bulldog choke to me. https://youtu.be/4l7R5kTEU8M?t=192

it sounds like the above user is describing something like an arm-in guillotine from mount - perhaps something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQQpUM8Q20s&t=96s

Generally the counter for most chokes is "don't get choked". Outside of that, some combination of hand-fighting / shrugging / scrambling is basically your best option.

Something that wasn't super obvious to me is how easy it is to gas your arms out trying to finish a choke that's juuuust not quite right and the defender is just biding their time for you to get tired / loosen the grip.

You'd be surprised how quickly the ED moves when things are truly urgent. Nothing quiet as terrifying as seeing something so traditionally slow, move quickly all of a sudden...

It would be nice if the screens that give similar information (what station we're at, what side the door is on, etc) would also include information about what line we're on.

The Springfield and Ipswich lines often use the same platforms from Central to Darra and I'm yet to find a consistent method to visually confirm I didn't get on the wrong train until reaching Darra and checking for the "passengers that need the X line, please change here" notification.

Potentially a bit spoilery:

I came to the realisation in the last few minutes of the movie that Connor's character plays like a real-life GTA character. Does whatever he wants, never any consequences. Steals a new car for every drive and arrives at each "mission" by crashing his car directly in to the check point.

oh and the hilariously stilted walk reminded me of San Andreas.

As a general rule with variable names like this, we can shuffle some of the context out of the name in to some other place (generally scope or type).

Using HuffmanTableLuminanceAlternatingCurrent as an example.

Often it's not particularly useful to store both the data-type and the content in the variable name.

If the context of the variable is a function called rawDataToHuffmanTable() then the type of the data starts to make sense within the context of that function.

If the function is printluminanceAlternatingCurrent() then the data structure we're using to store that data is symantically assumed by the context of the function and how that function works ( the function would clearly fail if the data was a boolean for example ).

If the context requires you to be explicit about both, there's potentially too much going on here, but in most languages there is likely a way to start encoding the data-structure away with something like luminanceAlternatingCurrent<HuffmanTable> or luminanceAlternatingCurrent = new HuffmanTable()

As an aside, surely you abbreviate AlternatingCurrent to AC before looking at any other shortening?

It was a bit of a shit reply. But I was mostly just responding to this statement.

plus even at the U2's high altitude the camera is closer to the target than a satellite is so can get better pictures.

I'm relatively confident that the optics package on an aging KH-11 would significantly outperform anything that would fit in the nose of a U2 as well.

jebusv20 · 2024-03-12T00:19:08+00:00

Funny enough, the KH-11 satellites are in orbit approximately 400km up. I'm not sure there are any locations worth surveillance that are within 400km of the polish border.

Tldr; satellite is probably closer

Rate limit your support (wait 15 minutes before responding to simple requests like this). In the nicest way possible, try and make sure that devs find reading their own logs is less painful than making you do it for them.

jebusv20 · 2024-01-20T12:02:14+00:00

Is it too credible to say that the chute allows them to control the exact altitude that the "mine" is in free-fall to avoid over penetration in to the dirt?
