TechieDamien@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Luigi Mangione makes first public statement since arrest2·5 months agoThat was my point. They were commending maths that was incorrect where an exact calculation is trivial, even for someone like me who is somewhat poor at mental arithmetic.

You can do it quickly in your head by using 4*4=16 and then adding on the last .4%.
Yeah, but how many eggs do you eat? /s
It is not a space game. It is a detective game were the narrative comes from your inner voices. Highly recommend, especially if you are looking for some political commentary!
TechieDamien@lemmy.mlto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What skills are needed to self host without too many headaches?English3·6 months agoUnraid is not a backup. It is good, but if your data goes wrong for different reasons or you lose the entire device, you can’t restore it. Dedicated backups are a must for anything serious!
I just couldn’t get into Last Epoch. Can’t really put a finger on why, since other ARPGs grabbed me that are not that dissimilar…
TechieDamien@lemmy.mlto Science@beehaw.org•New type of battery could outlast EVs and still be used for grid energy storage4·7 months agoThe paper that this references is well worth a read as it goes into quite a bit more detail and highlights the difficulty they had with XRD, which there article glosses over. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1149/1945-7111/ad88a8/pdf
Chunky could also mean using curdled milk
TechieDamien@lemmy.mlto Games@lemmy.world•Other than Smite, what are some other games with a large amount of mythological pantheons as playable characters?English1·9 months agoThat explains a lot. I played Grim Dawn and thought that it took a lot of inspiration from Titan Quest, especially the levelling system. Never put 2 and 2 together though.
TechieDamien@lemmy.mlto Programming@programming.dev•How Good at Math Does a Programmer Need to Be?21·9 months agoIt really depends on the role you are looking for. If working with data and doing analysis, you need some knowledge in stats and probability. If you are working on simulations, you will need basic calculus and algebra. If you are looking at game development, you will need basic trigonometry and vector arithmetic. The one thing you don’t need is mental arithmetic because you have a computer.
That being said, you can get by without these skills, it just becomes harder to see what you need to do, even if you would know how to implement it. This is alleviated if you are working in a team however.
TechieDamien@lemmy.mlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•A 7 day workweek becomes the global standard. How do you cope?4·9 months agoI mean they should be using rfc3339 as it is an open standard unlike the iso.
Depends how much time you spend in a text editor. If it is just for a few config edits and stuff, honestly there is little reason to learn. The real benefit is if you spend a lot of time editing text due to the time saved using more powerful commands. There is the additional benefit that vi/vim is installed on practically any Linux box, so you will almost always have a familiar editor to hand in an unfamiliar environment.
Go through the tutorial. It is quite good and teaches things incrementally with real world examples. Just run vimtutor to start.

TechieDamien@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People of Lemmy, what games have you been playing lately?3·9 months agoIf you don’t want to help the slavers, here is a tip: you can destroy ladders.
To be fair, sometimes it is right to take the code from the questions. Eg if you want behaviour x and the question is “how do I do y, my code is only doing x?” Then the code you want is from the question.
