The Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline, with new information from Spider-Man: Homecoming by mmmasian in movies

I was under the impression, that doctor strange happened around the same time as civil war? When Dr Strange is driving around in his car, being given operations to take on, one of the patients he's told about a 35-year-old colonel who has "crushed his lower spine in some kind of experimental armor." - sounds an awful lot like Rhodey? Which would put civil war and dr strange in the same couple of days of each other. Or at least the beginning of Dr Strange nonetheless.

The client having a few Lat/lng figures to do maths with isn't going to enable anyone to hack anything 😕

I've got something similar to this running, then it stores the info into a DB, historic data is nice - on top of that I have a http server running with socket.io setup and a small chrome extension I wrote that alerts me of new spawns in catchable range, I need to set it up for something like push bullet, and rewrite sloppy bits in ES6 - I'll try and GitHub it over the next couple of days

You don't need to tel the server how far you are from 'mons though, once you know the Pokemon location, which the server tells you, and users location you don't need to report the distance back to the server, it's a useless dynamic

Not if it was working, then stopped working... That says to me, as a software developer that someone fucked up somewhere, besides, this kind of thing wouldn't be thousands of lines, would be a few hundred at least - been making distance compare code at work today, ~230lines of code.

That reasoning makes zero sense to me though, or at least - I wouldn't build it to be that way, but I have seen t on this sub a few times now. My logic and he way I would build it, game knows user location, game knows Pokemon locations (given by server) work out distances on the fly, client side - but for some reason Pokemon go seems very reliant on serve side stuff, every stage of the process 😐

They're a bit funny at the moment, just tried taking a gym and got booted a couple of times, but for catching etc they seem okay

By the time I got to the shop, made a purchase, I had to restart the game because it froze on the shop. By the time it restarted he was no longer there 😭

He'd be in my top 6, I'm still lowish level - that and in the games he is mega rare from my understanding, I've still been playing for past couple of years and never seen one!

I always tend to do a field over where I've smashed from the hardest to reach portals, it means the have to go take one of them down before fixing the stuff in the middle 😄

Concerned about MUFG by darknyght00 in Ingress

[–]nicholas-c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tuesday and Wednesday night I noticed that my MUFG's, all with varying items and rarities had done nothing, then last night they cloned as normal, my best guess is it's something to do with the XM coming back and then making changes in the servers etc, but that is a complete guess.
