The big news this month is that “conveyor belts have unlocked the Y axis” in Terraria 1.4.5, meaning that you can now send items up and down along with using them to transport goods horizontally. Not only will that make them a lot easier to use generally, making it easier to navigate across long distances, but the demonstration also shows them hooked up to a chest, allowing you to instantly store all your transported items. That’s a massive convenience improvement, and will almost certainly lead to some fascinating new creations.

Is that scale real?

For sure! It seems like a decent amount of work but all the modeling is done already. The problem is that he’d have to buy an Xbox controller and the mouse for the internals, the breakaway box, and the wires which is probably close to $200 right there

The amount of skills that came together to create this controller is incredible. It was so satisfying watching everything come together, I wish I could try it out.

Dividing by a fraction is the same as flipping one it on its head and multiplying it.

0.25/0.5 is (1/4)/(1/2)

To multiply it we’d flip one, either works but for this example I decided to flip the second one: (1/4) * (2/1)

The top half of the fractions (numerators) multiply together, then the bottoms (denominators) multiply together. (1*2)/(4*1) = 2/4 which reduces to 1/2

Your 1-1 relationship makes sense intuitively with a finite set but it breaks down with the mathematical concept of infinity. Here’s a good article explaining it, but DreamButt’s point of every set of countable infinite sets are equal holds true because you can map them. Take a set of all positive integers and a set of all positive, even integers. At first glance it seems like the second set is half as big right? But you can map them like this:

Set 1 | Set 2

1|2

2|4

3|6

4|8

5|10

6|12

If you added the numbers up on the two sets you would get 21 and 42 respectively. Set 2 isn’t bigger, the numbers just increased twice as fast because we had half as many to count. When you continue the series infinitely they’re the same size. The same applies for $1 vs $100 bills.

$1|$100

$2|$200

$3|$300

In this case the $1 bills are every integer while the $100 bills is the set of all 100’s instead of all even integers, but the same rule applies. Set two is increasing 100x faster but that’s because they’re skipping all the numbers in between.

It’s dangerous to go alone, take this

The video in the linked article does just that. The page takes 5 seconds to load the video, the user changes the UA, they refresh the page and suddenly the video loads instantly. I would have liked to see them change the UA back to Firefox to prove it’s not some weird caching issue though

I stayed in an apartment that was infested with roaches and they followed us when we moved out. They started to try and establish a colony in the new house we were renting but we waged a war on them. We bombed the house with bug spray, foggers, and diatomaceous earth but it was still a struggle getting rid of them all. At one point my computer was getting dusty so I decided to clean it out when I noticed that a pregnant roach had kamikaze’d head first through a case fan. Her upper body was completely torn to shreds but she had managed to make it inside and laid her egg which hatched and dozens of babies lived in my computer. I was equal parts horrified and impressed.

You can see her booking it at 2:07 in my video when the guards accidentally attack her. It’s interesting that you mentioned having to kill everyone else at camp for Orin to take Yenna, in my first playthrough I had a dark urge character and Orin killed Yenna. I had no idea there was a different outcome, guess I’ll get to see that on this character soon

Can’t you can get the new Pixel Buds instead?

Yep. I use a piece of software that lets me drag components onto a stage and will auto generate code in the back end. We can then add our own code to customize the components.

I ran into a super cryptic error message while working on a time sensitive project and I was ripping my hair out trying to figure out what the hell was wrong. Turns out someone had pasted some code in from an email and the custom code editor displays the straight quotes and angles quotes exactly the same but the back end code generation fortunately displays them differently. The program didn’t like the character set for the quotes used in Outlook but didn’t give me the proper line number, the error made zero sense, and looking at the code didn’t show that anything was wrong.
