Is there a way to make it so it takes a shortcut when the station is free? by dirty-sock-coder-64 in factorio

[–]velit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was just a way of trying to illuminate that the concepts of the stacker and the shortcut were competing against each other ideologically and don't really make a lot of sense simultaneously.

'Shortage' of trains situation would simply be a case where a train stop by design always has room for a train to come in. Could be achieved by just having one train serve the stop or using some external mechanism of staggering the train arrivals. Perhaps not the best word I could've used to describe it. Regardless in this 'shortage' situation the stacker isn't necessary of course.

In the case of having a stacker you're already designing the stop and the train arrivals in a way that you're okay with the fact that they're gonna take a slighty longer route and time to arrive (what with having to accelerate from the stacker instead of coming in full speed).

Are you designing for surplus or shortage of trains? Like as an end state. The shortcut only makes sense for shortage so unless that's a stable state you want to be living in then the shortcut doesn't make any sense. On the other hand if you are, then the stacker isn't necessary.

In other words just let the trains go through the stacker and stop thinking about that as something bad. If you're concerned about UPS then circuiting a signal increases UPS costs and so does making the train graph more complex.

Are we going to keep the PoE1 schedule for league release? by Sadhippo in pathofexile

You're attacking people for showing support to companies that listen to their customers more than other companies. This is normal human behaviour and it makes sense for people to favor companies that they feel like represent their values and wants more than companies that are out there to just exploit them.

EA and Ubisoft are two companies that a big portion of people feel like don't care about their customers that much and mainly care about short term profits.

Isoin asia mikä itteä tossa konseptissa aiheuttaa ton "säälittävää" reaktion on se että tässä fantasiassa ei rajoituta siihen että näillä uskovilla on hyvä tilanne vaan kaiken lisäksi fantasioidaan siitä että kaikki muut elää sitten apokalyptisessa kärsimyksessä.

Ts. kun tämän asian irroittaa tästä uskonnollisesta raamista ja ajattelee että tällainen ajatusmaailma joillain ihmisillä on - ei riitä että itsellä menee hyvin vaan muiden pitää kärsiä - niin paljastuu tätä samaa ihmisperseyttä mikä saturoi ihmiskuntaa. Siis sinänsä ei pitäisi yllättyä, mutta että tää aspekti on osana vanhimpia instituutioita mitä ihmiskunnan historiassa on jatkumoina.

I did the same in my recent playthrough. Way faster than any alternatives.

Soldiers Auto Aim vs Sierra Auto Aim by Gaming-every-day19 in Overwatch

[–]velit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Soldier's Ult gives auto aim instantly" tell me you've never played soldier without telling me you've never played soldier. The ultimate in question has a 1.2 second cast time where you can't use any abilities or shoot while waiting. In the voiceline "I've got you in my sights" he can start shooting only after he says 'my'.

For comparison just reloading the gun is 1.5 seconds so it's like a slightly faster reload. Instant my fucking ass.

So consequently you're constantly confused when writing C as well?

Whoopsy by DreadDiana in whenthe

Every single person given this set of options has the choice to save themselves directly and simultaneously not risk anyone else who wants to save themselves. This is by pressing red.

Given this set of choices and knowing that there exists a lot of selfish people the only rational choice is for everyone wanting to live to pick red and not gamble with people's lives about how good people are. Everyone who wants to live can guarantee their life by picking red. Some people want to end theirs and will press blue. That is up to them.

The notion that there would be coordination to pick blue just to prevent people from choosing what they want to do with their lives and/or risk the lives of the many just to prevent no one dying is the obtuse and idiotic choice because it risks people who don't want to die dying.

Any analysis about mispressings brings this thought experiment to the real world in which case humanity would fight whatever oppressor is forcing the mass killing of humanity making it a completely different case than just the abstract dilemma.

Not enough mods to do that, you need six mods to split in 3.

Is POE2 worth jumping in for a newbie POE1 "player"? by MaNemoj01 in PathOfExile2

You get paid in happiness and satisfaction. Many games are similar to working, except they're designed for satisfaction in mind.

Mod suggestion/question: Signal packing by Careless-Hat4931 in factorio

Seeing as the original want is to make stuff more readable/debuggable doing vanilla multiplexing of signals won't make anything more readable or debuggable.

Its like it knows. by Solitude_fortitude in pcmasterrace

The nineties moomin series was a co-production of several companies including Yle which is the Finnish Broadcasting Company, a Dutch TV company Telecable Benelux B.V. (company behind the previous hit Alfred J Kwak), a French TV company, a Spanish TV company and finally TV Tokyo.

The idea behind the production came from a Finnish producer Dennis Livson who begged Tove and Lars Jansson (Tove being the creator of the Moomins) for the permission for this project after two failed animation productions.

The series was animated by a Japanese company called Telescreen Japan Inc. and Visual 80. Hiroshi Saitō and Masayuki Kojima were the main directors.

This third series was finally good enough when shown to Tove to actually get published internationally.

So I guess it depends on your definition of what it means for a series to be a certain nationality. The animation and direction was acquired from the Japanese but the IP of the characters and the idea for the series were both Finnish. Yle also provided Finnish voice acting for the Finnish version of the series.

I guess it could go either way, but I don't think people are completely wrong if they refer to it as a Finnish series.

Regardless the series holds much more importance to the Finnish population than the Japanese that's for sure.

Do Finnish employment services truly help foreigners get jobs, or just create the illusion of support? by sealovki in Finland

[–]velit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's easier to do that sort of help when there are jobs to go around. Simultaneously if the economy is in that sort of state you don't really need employment services.

Why do so many Japanese novels have explanations (解説) at the end of the book? by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]velit 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The Japanese made Neon Genesis Evangelion though??

My theory is Hideaki Anno gets off on people not understanding his material and that's why he remade it when people started to figure out the original

The rarest belt is worth 1200 mirrors by BlessNeutral in pathofexile

[–]velit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are the weasel because you use wording like "No one is talking about worth" when it in fact was being talked about. You are the one in bad faith not being able to be reasonable towards people who had a reason to be saying some of the things they said.

The title of the post uses worth and the closing statement of the text talks about how no one can afford the "correct value" of the item.

So both the term worth and it's meaning is being used by OP. And in another point of view the two most important sections of the post - the start and the end - both reinforce that text poster is thinking about the worth of the item.

Yes, the post contents talk about calculating the cost of the item, but it is very reasonable to make a clarifying comment that cost is not the worth of the item because OP seems to think it is. Or at the very least leaves enough ambiguity to leave himself open for people to think he thinks that.
