  The trailer’s a pretty big nothing burger. The date is April 12th for the gameplay trailer. It’s not a release date.

  4 Sig figs vs 9 Sig figs is a big gap. If you need your resistors in a circuit to be precise to 9 Sig figs, seek a new career.

  It is almost always possible to take a system and make it more precise by using more precise parts (just gotta make sure you know what part you are changing to improve what tolerance). You do get diminishing returns with that, but it beats inventing a new system if the tolerances you need are just alittle ways away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Virgin Physicists⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A big aspect of good design is being able to solve an issue as succinctly as possible, with as wide an operating range as possible. Lower tolerance requirements = better.

  If you need that level of precision, you might want to reconsider your career in circuit design.

  In airsoft, the beebees can sting pretty bad when they hit you, but some people still choose to ignore getting hit and don’t call them. They assume no one can see them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video game characters should swear when they get hurt⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC this also happened in Insurgency. I seem to recall being fired upon while my character screamed “FUCK SHIT SHIT” while bullets were flying by. Great game prior to changing hands and being nuked.

  Recommendations: if you have any technical aptitude, get a vice, pliers, wirecutters, nylon cord, and several yards of fastener wire from a local hardware store. That can solve a very large number of minor accessory problems with ingenuity. Old-school prototyping can ween you Off buying smaller “specialized” products.

  Couldn’t boycott it for the moral reasons? Like, are you saying you’d still support the height of shitty companies destroying their industries if they just had good UI?

  It’s North America from an upside down perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sun God⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Trying to wrap my head around how incromprehensively large even just our sun is always makes me feel dizzy.

  We are not even a pale blue dot to most of the universe, and when we disappear nothing will know or remember us.

  Alright. Just a guess here, but the instructor put the hat on the gator. My thought is that they were attempting to use their hat as an impromptu blinder so they could wrangle it. Instead, however, the gator could still see, didn’t like what was going on, and bailed.

  I jumped over to logseq. It takes some getting used to, but overall logseq is working fine overall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Infinite Hotel Paradox⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s mostly just a way of communicating be bizarre nature of infinite series and other problems related to infinity. Just fun thought experiments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be honest. Your first thought was would this be an advantage or disadvantage during masturbation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So you know when people Mick a butterfly with their hands? Yeah, just that one-handed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be honest. Your first thought was would this be an advantage or disadvantage during masturbation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Call a tailor probably

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's just a Planck bro⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the best way to understand the Planck length is to understand how we came to Planck’s constant in the first place. Science girl has a good video on it (she shared today that she’s getting better, which is fantastic news)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need Lemmy.sdf.org to me SDF Member only⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a member myself, but I agree that this makes alot of sense, where proof of membership is a requirement to join this instance.

  On a seperate note, how does one become a member of SDF?

  Ah, this post explains the long pause in my account getting created. Glad you guys resolved it.
