I’ve noticed that wine (and proton?) use a vulkan-based system to emulate DX/D3D, did you tweak any graphic settings or is this default settings “out of the box?”

It’s possible the Linux version is defaulting to OGL and the Windows version is using d3d-as-implemented-in-vulkan, (or a similar situation) which could cause some differences in rendering or capabilities.

Concerning indeed

I was wondering why HW3 was “controversial” and apparently I didn’t realize:

1. It’s been released.
2. It’s worse than the first 2
3. Because Gearbox is publishing it!

Thanks Randy! Fucking grease weasel ruins another great franchise.

Found a few things:

A carved and polished table, shows color and cross section well.

A wiki for a minecraft clone that already has baobob wood.

Following another poster’s advice, here’s a cross section of one cut down.

In other depictions it often has little holes in it, which seems like a thing that happens to some baobob wood, otherwise it kind of just looks like medium color wood with some dark bands.

I’m still trying to complete Satisfactory before I go back to old habits. Belt management is so unique in Factorio that I’m going to need a refresher anyway.

So they reworked the tech tree and added new planets?

I haven’t played Satisfactory (or any factory game) in MP either! Hopefully we’re finding a good balance.

Feeling emboldened by what you said, I went ahead and unlocked a few additional milestones we had the resources stocked for. Area Clearing gets solid fuel and the chainsaw which both help out with power until coal is unlocked. I updated the power plant to use the new fuel.

Field Research because I just really wanted the map, haha. I built a MAM but didn’t research anything. ADA’s commentary for most milestones is meh but I find the research comments pretty funny and wanted to leave them for others to enjoy.

And Assembly because I really wanted to build that reinforced plate factory! We already had mark 2 belts but you need so many plates for everything! So now we’ve got a plate factory slowly cranking them out.

I left some extra equipment in the Hub chest, save folks the build time. There’s most of tier 2 still to unlock. Lots of MAM research to do. Some iron nearby that could make a nice rotor factory. And the space elevator should be ready to build now! Make sure to clear a big spot for it!

Hello! I popped on for a few minutes today to check out the server! Looks like a good start.

I threw some extra portable miners up on the copper and limestone to the south (near the oasis) and set up a few storages and constructors to improve the power grid. Hopefully I can rejoin sometime soon when others are available.

Addition: Well I had some extra time so I played around in your (our?) world a little more. Upgraded the power plant, ran some spaghetti belts for copper and limestone to the main factory. I started on a plate factory when I realized assemblers weren’t unlocked yet and I didn’t want to attempt any milestones without other people on. So I gave up on that idea for now. Assuming the biofuel holds out, there ought to be enough materials to build the elevator after a little while!

It’s because they ruined Linux! Damn Linux users!

Turns out, the polandgon (polagon?) has an ideal shape with a perfect binary ratio of area to circumference.

I guess assembler is sumerien then, only still written and understood? And cobol or fortran? Linear a and b?

Wow, hadn’t thought about that one in a long time. I thought it was an old Scott Hanselman blog and I was correct! I’ll have to reread it, been years now.

I’m not sure there’s much why to it exactly. I feel like a small fraction of people I’ve met in life were truly passionate and excited about the work they did. Most had some passion for an art, or a hobby, or for their kids very commonly, but people who really want to grow and master their craft are somewhat rare generally. Most folks just want to do well enough to keep their jobs and then go home to whatever they actually care about.

Consider that to go on a site specifically for programming questions and then take a survey about it, you have to be the kind of person that cares about getting their code “right”. The majority of programmers I’ve met would only go there to copy-paste a quick answer, and those people have all moved to asking chat-gpt for code now.

I just have a human sized Dyson air blade. As I step out of the shower, hurricane force winds blow all the water back into it.

It’ll have no trouble meeting my expectations, because I expect that Bethesda today can’t make a good game so I expect it to be shiiiiiiit!

But also, fuck Bethesda and this “lower your expectations” bullshit. No Todd, it isn’t impossible to please your fans. No Todd, it isn’t impossible to make a good AAA game. No Todd, it isn’t a burden or a problem to have millions of fans who have high expectations for you.

If you can’t cut it, fucking quit and hand the reins over to someone with fresh ideas, someone who’s still hungry and still wants to make good things.

Why wait? Those horny, gym-rat twinks are out there waiting for you right now!

All these jokes about naming variables and yet no serious suggestions that if you have a turtle2, what you really need is a turtle array. I like to block out all the memory I’ll need for the whole program up front, put it all in one big array, and then I can use clean, easy to remember numbers for all my variables!

With a 20 year head start she might be able to actually do it, maybe by becoming president or head of the cdc or something?

The ability for a time traveler to prevent 9/11 with one day’s notice is… definitely going to be more difficult.

Angry driving can make one quite blunt

Enough to rage over a mundane stunt

At bicyclists abreast

a roar rose in his chest

SINGLE FILE YOU TWO-WHEELED CUN–

Skeleton Warriors!

Well, banned for having mild opinions on US politics and then getting defensive when someone called them a genocide enabler. Sounds like hexbear did them a favor. If only the right-wing loonies were so quick to ban people who disagreed with them instead of setting up a big slide to draw them further in.

It’s sad but i stopped writing answers or comments on SO years ago. I used to have all these optimistic ideas about people working together to collectively grow our shared knowledge. I guess Wikipedia and the Internet Archive keep barely hanging in there, but if anything those cases prove my point: without one extremely strong personality to hold the corruption in check, all these collaborative “digital commons” projects are a leadership change away from completely selling out all the work put into them. That can be feeding everything into AI but it’s also monetization schemes and EULA changes to claim ownership of user submitted content and locking the public out of your site without accounts and subscriptions.

And usually the public’s only recourse is to tear it all down and start again, waiting for the next con artist to come along and steal the village’s prosperity.
