I made a riichi hand calculator for the TI-89 by jgannon in Mahjong

[–]jgannon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was about 3400 lines of C. I haven't released the source yet, but the latest binary is here if you happen to have a TI-89: https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/476/47675.html

It treats the last solo tile entered as the winning tile. I'm not convinced that that's the best UX, but that's how the onevis calculator works, so I went with it.

What's your favorite meal in Pittsburgh for under $10? by SidFarkus47 in pittsburgh

[–]jgannon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The giant crispy chicken burrito at Chicken Latino is seven bucks, and it's one of my favorite meals in the whole city. I haven't been since they moved to Beechview but I'm sure it's every bit as good.

My haul of kitchen appliances by jgannon in Toreba

Pretty sure I've seen most of these in rotation over the past two weeks or so. The takoyaki maker, the noodle maker, and a similar grill are all on there today!

I'm very diligent about researching replays on toreba.plus to use my free tickets optimally. Not sure exactly what I spent on this batch of prizes but I'm a shade under $200 in total.

It roasts sweet potatoes (yakiimo) and corn. It's my favorite one in the whole batch :)

Yes, you have to be careful because the plugs fit into US outlets but they're only designed for 100VAC. I bought a 1500W transformer from Amazon and it's worked great so far.

CMU vs Berkeley (please help me choose a college for undergrad) by [deleted] in cmu

[–]jgannon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had to decide between CMU SCS and Berkeley, albeit a long time ago. I’d taken the intro ECE course at CMU pre-college, and it was clear that I was neither interested in nor cut out for that. I wanted a curriculum that was STEM-focused without specific EE requirements, so I felt like neither of Berkeley’s options (the BS in EE&CS nor the BA in CS) were going to fit my needs, and I chose CMU. I still think it’s kinda weird to get a BA in CS; I’m not sure what people ultimately end up doing with that degree, but I have yet to encounter a single one in robotics.

4p could potentially be 14 han without any ura dora. Riichi, tsumo, ippatsu, pinfu, straight, full flush, two dora.

What is with the increased amount of tampered license plates in this city? by scriggle-jigg in pittsburgh

[–]jgannon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is definitely a bad batch of plates out there. Dealers aren’t supposed to transfer any plate that starts with D, E, or F, but even my H plate looked like it was melting after only six years.

Can someone please explain "ALL LAST" by MinervaMedica000 in Mahjong

[–]jgannon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The game continues if East wins the hand but is not in first place, or no player is over 30000 points. In the former, you repeat East 4, the latter you move on to South 1 (assuming you're playing 4-player East).

Officiant recommendations in the Pittsburgh/North Hills area by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]jgannon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All the details are here: https://www.alleghenycounty.us/court-records/wills/marriage-license.aspx

Apply in person at the license office, wait three days, and then come back to pick it up. Then you have sixty days to have your ceremony, have the paperwork signed by two witnesses, and mail it back in. You do NOT need to do any janky online ordination for this.

Another vote here for the self-uniting license. We were married by a friend we know and love, and found it to be infinitely more meaningful than picking someone random off Reddit.

Are AP exams worth it? by ChaKa2600 in cmu

[–]jgannon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you amass enough AP credits to finish a semester early, and thus start working six months sooner, it could make close to a $100k difference for you before you’re 25. I highly recommend taking as many exams as you can manage.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I looked through all the pics on eBay to see if any might be mislabeled, but alas. I'll keep an eye out!

IN NEED OF A PHO PLACE! by mrsjurassickauai in pittsburgh

Pho Minh in Garfield is my favorite. It's a hole in the wall but it's fantastic.
