The location of objects in cosmoteer is actually vital. Ammo factories and reactors need to be near guns or they won't fire often. Engines are physics based. If you don't armour your ship well or space things out you'll get a

Cosmoteer is a really great game, I had lots of fun building railgun ships and trying to cut opponents in half, or killing people in a hail of missiles. It's good fun trying to design the optimal ship and I like how building a powerful

Another key difference is that you have a lot of control over your fleet in Cosmoteer.

I have found that running a twitter account is helping for this. I have <20 people following and their encouragement that my stuff is not total rubbish really helps.

What can help with this is to start building little systems and solve these problems in general. Dedicate a given day of the month or week for all your meetings so scheduling is simpler. Chase invoices on the same date every month, chase al

If (like me) you're bored by regular chess now, consider trying out the variant 16x16 "Four Kings one War." It has been turned into Steam game with a free demo : https://store.steampowered.com/app/883680&

Would it not be possible to do the image processing on the original image to create several pixel masks which then draw in the high resolution image data? For instance, you take the source image at resolution n*n and do all processing at n&

This is actually exactly what is going on in this example. The CPU is able to execute instructions from the various searches in whatever order the data arrives. You can learn more about the process here : https://en.wikipedia.org

Sure, x.append doesn't return a value. So x=x.append is None. You learn that one pretty quick. Perhaps use x = x + [1] instead? But yeah, surprises like this (unexpected return values) are actually a pretty strong case for using a lang

Relating to the "Python Tricks" you mention, remember that "is" means "these two pointers (x & y) point to the same place". You should never be to surprised when you create a bunch of new values and a langu

I think they were blindsided that this was even possible. So they hadn't thought to add a panel to the status page for this one. I bet they will now.

Perhaps these QA sites are interesting? https://superuser.com/ https://serverfault.com/ But yes, the content like this on HN is fascinating and I would also like more.

If you don't mind the sharing part, don't be embarrased about the quality of your source code. Quality will come from getting lots of eyes on it. You made it actually happen, that is very special even if the code is a huge mess.

Possibly a better phrasing would be "An open source ecosystem is worth investing in to hedge against the risk of license and source changes by the vendor"

You see that light pulse that they captured? Your camera synchronization signal in the wire is traveling about 2/3 of that speed. Can you imagine all the cameras in your array receiving and interpreting that signal at the same time?

I agree, at least when it comes to overspecialized roles in large companies. If you didn't get to actually Do anything, are you really a rocket scientist anymore? Does it feel the same? Does it make you excited to do your job? Your d

I think the point is that we 1. Keep making more electric cars 2. Rather than throwing away ICE cars, we give them better fuel to use.

Just bear in mind that large batteries have a couple more advantages 1. More battery banks so each one has to deliver less power during acceleration 2. More space to distribute any waste heat 3. Less waste heat for a given current since we

The entire design of Tesla's vehicles is based around no firewall, no exhaust system. They would have to put that all back in if they added an ICE.

If Toyota acted in "bad-faith" by suing a third party (say Nissan) then Tesla could act to revoke their patent licenses to Toyota. Once they had done so, it would be a standard patent infringement lawsuit between Tesla and Toyota.

Yes, this is also worded as "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast" - used for instance when following emergency checklists. It's a good mantra when under serious pressure.
