  • It’s getting tougher and tougher for the company to explain where all of them went.

    The price was the big one. It delivered at twice the initially advertised price. Took it from being very competitive with ICE trucks to costing much, much more.

  • I mathed that red ammo uses notably more iron per damage than yellow ammo, red manufacturing also takes up notably more space. On the spaceships, this was something that I found way easier to simplify and just go with yellow ammo for guns.

    As for running out of other asteroid types, remember you can change the type of the asteroid. I had a thing setup where asteroids would go into the appropriate manufacturing line, and if that line didn't need them, they would continue on and get turned into a different type. Really helped fix resource bottlenecks as I didn't have to worry about balancing resource use. Just had to make sure I had enough asteroid converters.

  • My strategy was a bunch of forward facing railguns set to shoot at everything that moves (priority on the big targets). They do a ton of AOE work clearing debris. Rockets and gun turrets for finishing off whatever the railguns don't get.

    I wasn't able to go 40, ended up setting mine to about half that primarily due to missile manufacturing speed limitations. On a v2 design, 40 probably would have been possible with beefier manufacturing lines. OP, 190 is absolutely too fast for getting to the shattered planet. I would start by aiming at 20-30 and see where that gets you. Just make your design speed adjustable and you can dial in whatever you need (I did it with pulsing fuel/lox pumps).

    Anyway, is velocity affecting asteroid density, or not?

    It absolutely does. From my experience it's a linear relationship. A quarter the speed gets you a quarter the asteroids. Just be careful when you start going slow as the ones coming in from the sides do start mattering, because you aren't just blowing past them anymore and them meandering sideways can get your tail chopped.

  • Russia is free to go home any day. There is no universe where what you mention is somehow a better play for Russia than simply going home.

    We must insure they do not win their war of conquest, otherwise there will simply be more.

  • Knowing the origins of the last worldwide pandemic is critical to preventing a repeat incident.

  • A recount requires a vote to be close, it wasn’t. Trump won every swing state. And with the margins he won by, every recount in the world would not overcome the 86 EVs she trailed by.

  • Every language does this. It isn’t colonialism, it’s convenience and practicality. Some sounds don’t exist or are awkward, so a different name is used instead.

  • Run it via the terminal, this will usually give you some more detailed error messages to work with. After doing that, post them here and we can help better.

  • Can we not have the lying bots teaching people how to run a nuclear plant?

  • Donald Trump wants Kyiv to hand over its natural resources as “payback” in return for weapons delivered

    We get our payback every time we send lethal aid. The soviet military inheritance is now smouldering wreckage, and a whole lot of invaders are no longer around to kill people.

    The more weapons and support we send Ukraine, the higher returns we receive.

  • Would someone smarter than me explain the article a bit? I'm getting lost on what things like a 'contained IP address' is.

  • it’s a super nice deed to kill capitalists.

    Its literally not possible to obtain capital … and be innocent.

    Obtaining capital, aka having a job, is somehow worthy of being shot for? You have fun with that idea. Tootles. ~~~

  • All I did for that one was search "Threadripper" and look at the pictures for ones with 4x x16 slots that were not hella expensive. There are technically filters for that, but, I don't trust people to list their things correctly.

    For which chipsets, ect to look for, check out this page. If you click on Learn More next to AM5 for example, it tells you how many PCIe lanes are on each chipset type which can give you some initial search criteria to look for. (That is what made me point out x670E as it has the most lanes, but is not newest gen, so you can find used versions.)

  • Yeah, adding to your post, Threadripper also has lots of PCIe lanes. Here is one that has 4 x16 slots. And, note, I am not endorsing that specific listing. I did very minimal research on that listing, just using it as an example.

    Edit: Marauding_gibberish, if you need/want AM5: x670E motherboards have a good number of PCIe lanes and can be bought used now (x870E are newest gen AM5 with lots of lanes as well, but both pale compared to what you can get with Epyc or Threadripper).

  • Basically no GPU needs a full PCIe x16 slot to run at full speed. There are motherboards out there which will give you 3 or 4 slots of PCIe x8 electrical (x16 physical). I would look into those.

    Edit: If you are willing to buy a board that supports AMD Epyc processors, you can get boards with basically as many PCIe slots as you could ever hope for. But that is almost certainly overkill for this task.

  • Yeah, it's a solved problem. I'm going to call the library's default sort and move on. If it somehow is a problem, I'll revisit later.

    Now, optimizing database calls, fixing (and avoiding!) security holes, writing tests that don't take forever to run, writing functions so they can be easily re-used later, and not duplicating code. Now there are some skills!

    "It's faster if we make a duplicate of this function and change this section, then we can move onto other things"

    "No it's much slower, because your code review just came back telling you to throw that idea in the garbage and do it right"

  • Don't fix things that aren't broken. There are plenty of broken things to actually work on instead.

    Bundeswehr No Longer Procuring Swiss Arms Due to 'Neutrality' in Ukraine War

    Title (auto translated):

    Germany no longer wants armament from Switzerland

    A letter from Germany makes a big wave. Swiss companies are excluded from applying for procurement by the Bundeswehr.


    ::: spoiler Article Contents (auto translated)

    A Swiss company wants to participate in a large German tender of 100,000 stationary multispectral camouflage equipment for the Bundeswehr. The catch: The company's production facility must be on the EU territory, it means the tender.

    The company thinks a mistake. The European free trade association Efta with Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway was probably forgotten. It is addressed to the Federal Office of Equipment, Information Technology and Use of the Bundeswehr.

    This is followed by the disillusionment: the Efta states had not been forgotten. They were deliberately decided in favour of a production facility in the EU. One will not deviate from that.
