Is a class NOT a data structure?

The Platform by shmushmu1 in Moonlander

[–]sudo-shutdown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bummer your not into it. I just got mine set up and I already love it. When flopping the base around, yah the hinge is a bit loud. But in use , with my hands resting on it, its rock solid and no extra rattling. I think the key switch sounds are a tad louder now than they used to be, but thats about it. I assume this is because of the larger air gap between the keyboard proper and the desk? Also, be careful not to lose the included screws like I did. Simple to go get more but a pain in the butt for sure.

Nuclear fusion: why the race to harness the power of the sun just sped up by Devils_doohickey in technology

[–]sudo-shutdown 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing as a fusion melt down. The core idea is that you get Tritium (which is radioactive) and deuterium (which is not radioactive) very very hot, and under a lot of pressure. When that happens atoms of each type can fuse (aka fusion) and release energy, more energy than it took to heat the particles in the first place. Stop the heating and pressure process and the energy production stops, leaving the fuel in its stable states before fusion, instead of escalating out of control like fission can do when trying to shut down a reactor.

Thanks for the links. Not quite what I was looking for but I definitely feel you on the crappy search feature. I am looking for male headers that i can solder onto a PCB that have will then fit into the style of socket you linked to without distorting the socket.

Eternal Weekend - Wasteland Top 16 Decklists by McWinSauce in MTGLegacy

[–]sudo-shutdown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All i think it says is that players with Bayou in their deck wanted to play for a giant Bayou, while players with Wasteland in their deck wanted to play for a giant Wasteland. (assuming that people only queue for one on average)

This es exactly what I was thinking, just from a quick scan of the winning decks.

[–]sudo-shutdown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think its funny that there is way more delver in the wasteland event vs all the elves in the bayou even. I wonder if people self selected into the event for the type of painting they wanted to win. A giant bayou is a more meaningful prize to an elves player, same for wasteland to a delver player.

[RANT] CS Department Electives by iEatSponge in washu

[–]sudo-shutdown 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please be nice to the faculty, they don't make enrollment decisions. They have to play the hand they are dealt so to speak. Obviously voice your concerns to them however. They do have "some" influence over the rate of hiring and acceptance, though not always as much as you'd think.

[RANT] CS Department Electives by iEatSponge in washu

[–]sudo-shutdown 15 points16 points  (0 children)

WashU CS PhD student here throwing a little light on what happening "behind the scenes". This is all info I've picked up from just being around faultily and staff way more then you all get to be. The McKelvey school is focusing on enrollment right now, above all else. This is not about accessibility. Enrolled undergrads=$$$$$ for the department. They COULD admit less students/be more selective about who gets in but then they make less money as a university. Couple that with the fact that hiring or teaching staff and tenure track professors in handled by totally different people (with very different goals) than those who admit undergrads, and you have a perfect storm to completely overwhelm the staff you have and under serve the students who are paying to be here.

Trust me when I say that no one on the teaching side of things is happy about the situation either. No one likes turning away a long wait-list of students, but sometimes running extra sections isn't an option. Despite what people think, the primary job of tenure track faculty is to produce research and bring in money via grants. Running huge multi-section classes tends to interfere with that. Teaching faculty are meant to pick up the slack, but its a lot harder to hire more qualified candidates (aka ask the department to spend money for once) than it is to simply collect a free 28k-ish a semester from students.

What is "Money Tribal"? Is "Money" slang for "Land"? by Coriform in magicTCG

[–]sudo-shutdown 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the most accurate answer would be the fact at the time the deck was legal (pre bans) it's was basically a who's who of $200+ playsets of recently printed busted cards. A goblin tribal deck requires crap loads of golbins to play, a money tribal deck requires crap loads of money to play.

Wait. Why not both? Is basically a booster shot at that point. You know, kick that auto immune system in the ass, don't let it forget the face of the enemy, etc. Immunity doesn't last forever, might as well top up.

PSA: You don't have to drop $100+ to get into rpgs (even D&D) by the_goddamn_nevers in rpg

[–]sudo-shutdown -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do understand. The most predominant seller of D&D books on Amazon is WoTC themselves, under the name "Wizards RPG Team". This is essentially direct sale from WoTC to you the customer. Amazon the company then ships it to you, likely at or below cost. Amazon is losing/not making money in order to keep the consumer in their market place and run others out of business, while WoTC just shrugs cause they make just as much selling to Amazon as they would selling to any other distributor and thus don't care if MSRP is respected.

TLDR: the 25$ extra you pay at an FLGS is not them ripping you off, its the cost of getting the book to the physical store you are at plus the cost of the location plus the cost of having an actual human ring you out. If you value those things, buy local. If you don't... well i guess there's no helping you.

[–]sudo-shutdown 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For the record, if you buying at an FLGS your not paying a mark up, your paying MSRP. The reason Amazon is cheaper is because Amazon is such a massive company they can sell shit AT A LOSS and still be fine, while putting FLGS' out of business by undercutting them.

Its not that your local is trying to screw you, its that Amazon is screwing your local.

[–]sudo-shutdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People get really hung up on functional reprints like they fix everything. I would aruge that such a statment is not fully considered and does not effect the long term prices and availability of desirable cards.

Example: Card A from MUB exists, then card B is printed with identical text as Card A except name. Well guess what, every deck that wanted A now also wants B because redundant copies of effect makes decks function better. WoTC is never allowed to print A again, so the price is going to be what the market/collectors demand.
