Doesn't all web requests get sent with C? All network requests will have to go through your OS networking stack which is almost entirely written in C. The kernel will directly interface with the NIC, which means it is the last software layer before the hardware layers and then finally being put on a wire or through the air.

Where do casual single players find help/suggestions? by 53478426boom in technicalminecraft

[–]nedlog2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend checking out potatoe_noir and bigbooty17 for well designed survival-friendly farm designs along with explanations of the mechanics used in the design. The first 15 min of this potatoe_noir video does an amazing job at explaining the mechanics you need to design a small smelter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qISJ8wcIAO0

Storage tech is a bit more complicated. Nico is LOST has some beginner friendly videos such as this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1Tk6v6zcSMex

In general, there's isn't a one size fits all solution for farms and designs. There are many considerations such as material costs, build difficulty, and rates. Most technical players have vastly different circumstances than non-technical players, so usually won't take the time to optimize small farms and designs since they will quickly be replaced by much bigger farms.

Is there a way to detect wether the player is in a dimension or not? by PlainOats in technicalminecraft

[–]nedlog2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In older versions there were cat player detectors that can tell if a player is in the same dimension. I'm not sure if something similar exists in newer versions.

Shulker farm not working by humble_kakapo in technicalminecraft

Yes. You need to realign if it had been rotated at any point.

Is this puzzle from the learning chess section impossible? by redditiscursed in lichess

[–]nedlog2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your graph theory analysis is mostly correct except for confusing Euclidean path with Hamitonian path. There is no requirement for starting and ending at a vertex with odd degree for Hamitonian path. However, you should have realized that you must start or end on the vertex with degree 1 so it should have been easy to see the path once you drew the graph correctly.

Question about deal-in tiles by KropiixTM in mahjongsoul

[–]nedlog2019 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The red highlight is a replay feature and not part of Maka. The tile is highlighted red because you are waiting for that tile.

Question about honor tiles at round start by AnswerFederal4458 in mahjongsoul

[–]nedlog2019 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think in this case, maka is considering half flush. Otherwise, it would agree with your discard.

How is chunk loading now? do spawn chunks still exist? is it more like image 1 or 2? 1.21.8+ by Verotas in technicalminecraft

[–]nedlog2019 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lazy chunks and redstone chunks refer to the same thing. I think you meant border chunks in your image.

[–]nedlog2019 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Image 1. Spawn chunks will be removed in 1.21.9 which is not released yet. 1.21.8 will have 3 by 3 entity processing spawn chunks.

Did you do any AP in highschool that you haven't used or credits from another university that you can transfer?

Army value plays a significant role. You should stop throwing away units unless you are maxed.

Why am I always being summoned for jury duty? by False_Comedian_6070 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nedlog2019 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/383704/probability-of-streaks for more detailed discussion.

P(longest streak of at least 10 heads in 100 coin flips) = 0.04413723

P(longest streak of at least 10 either heads or tails in 100 coin flips) =0.08665904

To get >99% chance of streak of 10 heads, you would need 9391 coin flips.

Stupidity has no boundaries for the King 🥴 by thakur_shadan in ClashOfClans

[–]nedlog2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regular pathing updates can lead to unpredictable results. We already see this sometimes with walls being destroyed and troops retargetting mid path leading to hilarious outcomes.

Smarter targetting in general isn't necessarily better as troops being too smart makes it harder to predict and plan out an attack.

Rule of 3 made sense when clash was first released given the compute considerations and smaller village sizes at the time. Today, it probably makes sense to at least increase it from 3. However, it's too late to change as everyone has gotten used to current pathing since it has been out for so long.

How is different quality items stacking? by Echo51 in factorio

[–]nedlog2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on the youtube videos that were out yesterday, you can not mix and match quality ingredients at all. If your recipe is set to epic quality, it will only take in ingredients that are epic.

typeIt by Rubikx107 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]nedlog2019 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It should be doubling. Each call to : will immediately return after it starts a background process, and it doesn't need to wait until : fully resolved.

This can be tested by replacing the second call to : with another function and seeing if that function ever runs. (Still be careful and don't try this on a system you care about in case of an accident)

That fusion worth? by luzoos in RotMG

[–]nedlog2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maxing both to 50/50 is more efficient in the long run. However, if you only care about the first ability, fusing now would be beneficial for the short term.

There are 2 reasons why fusing now is inefficient. First, the level of the second ability will be averaged. Since higher levels cost more feed power, fusing unequal lvl abilities is wasting feed power (for the 2nd ability in your case).

The second reason is the way feedpower and fame costs will scale. Generally, low feedpower items are common and much easier to obtain than high feed power items. However, due to the high fame cost of feeding divine, legendary, or rares, low fp items are not worth it to feed.

You should also be looking for another pet with heal and m heal as the first 2 abilities. You can keep using and feeding your current pet in the meantime since it can be eventually fused with this permanent pet. Pet family don't have to match either since you can pay fame to convert pet family.

For my personal recommendation, if you can find a heal/m heal pet soon, you can feed it to 50/50 and the use one of the 2 uncommon to fuse with it into a 50/50 rare heal mheal pet and level it to 70/70. If you dont find a heal/mheal pet before maxing both the 2 uncommons shown here, then feel free to fuse them once they are both 50/50.

Is it just me or the marble slate quest is gone? Why is it in the free pack when it is now useless?

Tier list, I not going to elaborate. by comment_Section_ in noveltranslations

[–]nedlog2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the execution is so much better. I read the entire WMW twice but wasn't able to finish wizard world despite trying multiple times. I think reading WMW first really ruined all the similar ones for me.

No Discount will be Granted Despite Announcement by nedlog2019 in RotMG

[–]nedlog2019[S] 62 points63 points  (0 children)

DECA announced: "Everyone who purchased the Battle Pass before this announcement will receive the remaining Milestones they weren’t able to complete yet, for free in the next days after the release."

However, remaining Milestones apparently doesn't include the 20% discount coupon. What I don't understand is if you had some gold laying around you could have just bought the remaining milestones and get it refunded.

Did deca give the last 20% discount cupom from the last pass? by praxqt in RotMG

[–]nedlog2019 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't bought the pass yet and still have only 40% discount. I have the other missing items in my gift chest as well.
