At that size, for that speed, I wonder why wifi was discarded. Depends on the components connecting, I guess, but if each component is custom I imagine adding a small wifi chip to each could be smaller overall?

I put off Factorio for years, because I knew I’d like it a lot. Had some free time in my life recently, so I went for it.

Send help.

My dude, no need to be such a dick about it.

Sounds like somebody needs to go restore a train…

I feel for people putting on events like this. Ticket sales used to get you halfway to covering costs, but that’s ok, you’ve got bar sales to make up the shortfall.

If everyone is taking drugs though, you either double the ticket price, charge for water, or not put on the gig.

I’ll need a source for that claim buddy

As someone who is only trek-curious, the problem I often have in this sub is finding fucking amazing shit like this but not knowing which episode it is! How the fuck do I even massage that animorph broken family story into a search query?

And I am certainly not going to put ‘Doctor fucks candle ghost’ into Google.

Update: I guess I lied, because I certainly did put it into Google. Should I buy this scented candle? https://files.catbox.moe/fpq4i8.png

In my comment elsewhere in the thread I talk about how, as a complete software noob, I like to design programs by making a flowchart first, and how I wish the flowchart itself was the code.

It sounds like what I’m doing might be (super basic) programming architecture? Where can I go to learn more about this?

As someone who’s had a bit of exposure to PLCs and ladder logic, and dabbled in some more ‘programming’ type languages, I would love to find some sort of ‘language’ that fits together like ladder logic, but for more computery type applications.

I like systems, not programs. Most of my software design is done by building a flowchart, then stumbling around trying to figure out how to write that into code. I feel it would be so much easier if I could just make the flowchart be the code.

I want a grown up Scratch.

It’s like, gotta be just one line of code, right?

Some of that is similar in more rural areas here. Property addresses will often be the number of meters their driveway is from the start of the road.

Genuine question - why would the house numbers be different?

In urban areas, I’m used to house numbers starting at 1 at one end of the street, then incrementing as you go along. Usually odds and evens are on the opposite sides of the street. So the house on the corner will be 1, the house opposite it will be 2, the house next to 1 will be 3, and so on.

Each street starts the numbers again.

Is this not the case where you are?

As a millennial, I agree with that.

I’m just happy to be doing my part to make copilot worse.

Wanna talk about poisoning LLMs? Just assume the coffee in my repo is in any way good.

I don’t know if I would consider Voyager to be ‘dead’ if it stops transmitting.

If I put a message in a bottle, with a blinky light on it, then throw it into the ocean, the message is still there even if the blinky light goes out.

I’ve got the R3, love it.

What always gets me when I see paper like this, is just how much manpower, engineering time, experimentation, materials science, and just sheer concerted effort went into making paper this fucking thin and useless.

Do you have a source for that? I’ve only ever known integrated graphics to be part of the CPU.

640KB of memory is enough for anybody.

It’s a very good lesson- to the point where I wouldn’t be surprised if the teacher is deliberately putting an arbitrary restriction on the assignment.

If you want to have a career, the people that pay you are going to make you do things that you consider to be ridiculous. That’s work, that’s life. You’ve got three options- Just smile and nod and do it their way, get huffy and tell them that you don’t like their yapping and you’ll do their project your own way, or politely suggest there may be an alternative way, and ask if they are willing to be flexible with some requirements.
