The math, CS & physics crowd knows the superiority of IJK

Norway? More like Snoreway… Kenya’s where the giraffes are, and the zebra; Kenya believe it?

I used to develop code for reading barcodes, and dealing with pixel aspect ratio was always annoying. It was one of those cases where 99.9% of images were square, but that tail always made for weird cases that had to be accounted for. Good times.

I need to append /s to my future silly replies I think… that said, I’ll never pooh-pooh a well thought response, so thanks for the nice write-up!

But of course – It’s just flipping around the -= operator!

Looks almost like a sandhill crane, or other type of crane… wonder what bird it is.

I was just about to mention exactly these games!

Outer Wilds’ ending was, to me, a beautiful meditation on confronting loss, the ending of things, and coming to peace with it.

Shadowbringers was along a similar theme. It was interesting emphasizing with Emet, and yet still realizing he’s wrong (“cool motive, still interdimensional genocide”). It was a combination of feeling unbearably sad for him, and yet thankful for stopping him. Also, seeing Ardbert during the camera pan in the Crystarium at the end.

Endwalker’s final walk had to have been designed in a lab to generate waterworks. What an experience.

Man, I love this guy’s videos. He’s got the most pleasantly chill voice (think Australian Bob Ross) and shows a great mastery of the things he makes. Highly recommended channel.

So complex or quaternion I imagine? ‘i’ it is!

I wasn’t expecting to be sad in this thread but there it is. “I am the very model of a scientist Salarian…”

I can’t help but notice that the area with the largest 1 year change in housing prices in Florida is right where the hurricanes hit last year…

Typically for this I’ve done some wrapper type around a vector storage for the node data (a wish.com arena, if you will). Links are just some abstraction around indices.

It’s kind of annoying to write initially, but it was easier than learning unsafe stuff. To do it correctly & most efficiently though, one would likely need unsafe code.

Number 1 would have to be:

• Triosphere (prog/power?). Ida is utterly amazing.

Some others I didn’t see in this thread are:

• Ebony Ark (prog/power)
• To Mera (prog)
• Without Face (prog/goth metal?)
• Mystik (speed)

If an iron and coal mine love each other a whole lot…

I’m still crying because Martyr broke up ages ago, how can they do this to me now!

I’d argue lexicographically it would be 0000 and 0001 for the first two sets of 4 digits. If you’re looking for combinations w/o replacement, it would be 0123 and 0124.

I’ve definitely caught myself writing cumTotal += value; in my code before.

I don’t recall what the default behavior is with the linker, but it might also benefit from at least thin LTO.

I’m exceedingly loving the combat design in Dawntrail, so I guess they took some good lessons from EW. That said, I do think CoD P2 is a bit too difficult for what they were aiming for. Two phases of P1 difficulty (mostly personal responsibility & quick reactions) or even very slightly harder, would be absolutely perfect for PF.

Back in August '22, I weighed about 270 lbs @ 6’0 (122.5 kg, 183 cm). I realized this was dangerously unhealthy so I asked my doctor if there was any drug options for helping me change habits. As my insurance didn’t cover weight loss, the doc opted for Phentermine. It drastically cut my food cravings and with exercise I’ve been losing weight steadily since. Down to 215 lbs now and the physical benefits are great: no more constant GIRD, can bend over without discomfort, etc.

It is funny though, just finally barely breaking the obese barrier (30 bmi) and people say “and you still want to lose more weight??” My goal is 180.

Edit: As an aside, how fucked is it that insurance companies don’t cover weight loss; wouldn’t covering it reduce their costs over time?
