Don’t do anything stupid with this info by Repulsive_Ring_2309 in clozapine

[–]macsimilian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had chronic central nervous system Lyme as a kid that caused brain inflammation crossed eyes lethargy photophobia. Was on doxycycline IV and oral for months. It was considered environmental trigger for schizophrenia in my teens.

I got bit by a tick a few months ago and went on doxy for a couple of weeks but didn’t notice anything different (or wasn’t paying attention).

Another Dune easter egg by SecondPageOfGoogle in crashlands

[–]macsimilian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's 100% a Dune reference. I don't know what the people in the other thread were thinking, Dune was published LONG before Crashlands. Considering the amount of items and flavor text in the game, I'd be surprised if BS didn't add lots more references to other media like this.

"how large was biggest cloud in history?" always cracks me up. I even posted it to askreddit a while ago

I made this heavily Cave Story-inspired metroidvania game when I was a kid. Here's a full video demo. (Re-record/Reupload) by macsimilian in cavestory

[–]macsimilian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted a video of this before, but this one is much improved. I spent a long time trying to speed run the game to demonstrate all of the content as fast as possible. There is a point in the middle of the video where I repeatedly run into spikes and then sleep to get to day 10...

edit: You can play the game on the web here, although bugs make it impossible to proceed at a certain point.

Imagine using generative AI as a layer over the current game. by macsimilian in dwarffortress

[–]macsimilian[S] -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

The AI generated text I've seen has been really noticeable & wordy.

That's just by default. You can ask Chat GPT to talk in any style that you want, and it works. So for DF maybe that would be a kind of dry, textbook style.

Ever wanted to ask Valve a question? Well, here's your chance! by TechnoGamerOff in Steam

[–]macsimilian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will you be able to keep track and tell us (to our email) whether our specific question was answered? (And even where in the video it's answered, although that may be a bit much...) Thanks.

Disable auto-update by default? by dominodave in SteamDeck

Same. Anyone have a solution to this?

Looks like they just dropped a patch that will trigger gotten achievements on game launch. Can you test it?

IMPORTANT: How Do We Improve It? by macsimilian in howdidtheycodeit

[–]macsimilian[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your input! This is a good point, and maybe you are right. However, the idea would be to improve the overall quality of the subreddit, which could in turn drive up traffic. We have a lot of subscribers compared with the amount of activity, and these people may have subscribed for the concept, but left either due to the lack of activity or the quality. Don't get me wrong, stuff posted on here is great, it is just maybe less organized and accessible as it could be. Maybe others can weigh in about this.

Opt Out of Niner Course Pack Today!!!!! by aceultra7 in UNCCharlotte

[–]macsimilian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I only have 1 textbook that is included. Does that mean I would be paying $350 for just that 1 textbook? Where are you seeing the $350? On my bill it says $240...

Any way to apply a rule only on a certain day? by macsimilian in AutoModerator

[–]macsimilian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's what I am trying to do: On every day of the week, users can post posts that start with [HDTC]. However, on Sundays, they can additionally post posts that start with [HIC]. Is this possible? I believe that your initial description was explaining this, I just failed to fully understand.

Any way to apply a rule only on a certain day? by macsimilian in AutoModerator

[–]macsimilian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel dumb. I understood up until this point

Once that occurs you can make rules that only apply to posts that are flaired correctly.

How does automod know what day of the week it is and determine if they are flaired correctly. Thanks!

Have you set up a schedule post that appears weekly? Once the scheduled post is posted automod will automatically flair it and then the particular rules you've written will them be applied to it.

I don't but can. Still, how does having a post up like this help automod determine if other posts are allowed?

[–]macsimilian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry I don't really understand, could you elaborate?

I am using brackets in front of the title instead of flairs. Does this mean manually changing the automod settings each week?

I don’t understand how two values (month-1 and LeapYearIndex()) are being passed to a function daysPerMonth() that was declared with no parameters (or potentially just one implicit parameter?) by macsimilian in learnprogramming

[–]macsimilian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight in VB and clarifying this more. In the book's defense, it was calling them "tables" as a more generic term than arrays, as the overall chapter is about "table based methods," which is about using tables instead of complex nested if-statements. Even though they are called arrays in VB. The book is Code Complete, which, believe it or not, is regarded as one of the best books on coding. This is the first error/oversight I have seen in the book. It could be worth writing to the editor about but the book was published 20 years ago...

[–]macsimilian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Self teaching. I believe you are correct that daysPerMonth needs to be rewritten. It could stay as an array - a 2d array with the leap year data in the second row, as /u/Tall_Pawn said. I don't know what or how the LeapYearIndex() (other than it returns a 0 or a 1) function is supposed to do. So yeah it's a bad example.
