    If you wanted an open-source streaming-economy RTS, I'd very quickly recommend Zero-K.

    I hadn't even heard of BAR before, so I got something to try in the next few days.

    I've watched a big Kaizo Mario streamer play through this, looked very enjoyable. Dev was in the chat.

    Looks very enjoyable, been on my wishlist since. Heard very good things.

    Callouts Map for Thera

    > cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/21382218 Two new community (competitive) maps released for CS2 today, and one has callouts in the map itself. Created by FMPONE and MF_Kitten, we have Thera. I decided to make a callouts map because it's the only way we will play for sure... although the new ranking system also helps, we won't be thrown in way over our heads when we play. Thera looks to be a smaller map, but there are a fair number of upper and lower parts. However, since I used the in game minimap to make this map, the lower parts are darkened and not obvious. ***If anyone knows how to get the base layout map (much higher res, used to be shown in loading screens), please let me know.*** The map underneath the writing is terrible and I added contrast and denoised it a bunch just to make it useable. As for the callouts, I changed a few parts. Here's the list of everything different (or could be different) about the in-map callouts: - "B Balcony" is just an unnamed balcony next to B site (which, btw, is slightly underground, under the "B platform") - I added "B" to "B platform", since "A platform" exists. - I added "B" to "B ramp". For the same reason above, I thought "Ramp" and "A ramp" would be poor choices. - I debated, but ultimately didn't add "B" to "Stairs". There is also "T stairs", which is underwhelming in comparison. - Same as above, I did not add "A" to "Arch", even though "Mid arch" also exists on the map. - I added "Bottom mid", as well as "T mid" to "Upper mid". "Upper Mid" is through the "Mid arch", which does make it a little disconnected from where I'd put "Upper mid". - I added "Long A" to "Long hall". That's just what I'd call it. - There are two callouts, "Upper catwalks" and "Lower catwalks", that are right above/below each other, so the callouts are just together on the map. - I think "CT bar" should just be "Bar", since there is only one.

    The rules are universal, only the mnemonics used to remember the rules are different

    The rules and the acronyms describe different things. If you have to make more rules to say M and D are the same, and that you go left to right when you do them, then the basic rules you followed were flawed. The universal conventions of mathematics don't need these acronyms confusing people.

    high school Maths textbooks

    I haven't seen anything since early elementary school, not middle school, and certainly not high school. Regardless, if a textbook has it, it doesn't make it right at all. If the acronyms are useless to learn, having them in a textbook doesn't validate them.

    and order of operations worksheet generators

    ...that's one of the two examples you used? Did you think about that before you typed it out?

    It’s always 2. #MathsIsNeverAmbiguous

    IT IS AMBIGUOUS IN THIS POST AND ALL EXAMPLES I HAVE SHOWN. That is the problem at hand.

    There is no real problem solving in trying to decipher poorly written shit. It's the equivalent if English classes took time out to give students worksheets with "foder" written on them, and expecting students to find out if the writer meant "folder" or "fodder"- no sentence context, just following a list of "rules". It is not difficult to write mathematical expressions with clear context to how numbers relate, even with the lazy shortcuts and shorthand that mathematicians love.

    If you have both multiplication and division then you do them left to right. PEMDAS doesn’t mean multiplication first, nor does BEDMAS mean division first. It’s PE(MD)(AS) and BE(DM)(AS) where the bracketed parts are done left to right.

    You are adding more rules to protect a convention that doesn't work and doesn't mention them to begin with. If all that matters is higher orders first, then why bother having an acronym? Just say "Brackets, then higher orders". Bam. Solved it with less words than any of the acronyms.

    Left associativity means it always operates on the following term. i.e. terms are associated with the sign on their left.

    As someone who studied mathematics, computer science, and engineering in university, I certainly don't you to tell me how to do bare bones arithmetic. I know operators apply to the numbers to their right. Everyone does. You jumped right on by the point.

    With 2/2*2, you don't know if it is 2*2/2, or 2/(2*2). When you are dividing by numbers, you put them all in the denominator. If I had to put it in a line, I would at least do 2/(2)*2, to show what is in the denominator. If it is ambiguous, you have done it incorrectly.

    By the rule of left associativity.

    BY CONVENTION, as I said. You don't have to repeat what I said a second time.

    No it doesn’t. How on Earth did you manage to get -2?

    wow. geez. I wonder.

    If you can't follow the steps guided for such a simple example, maybe we just shouldn't have this conversation. It's not like you could have tried in your head different orders to combine 3 numbers.

    Yes, the fundamentals the same, higher orders come first. BUT...

    -Multiplication comes before division in some forms, like PEMDAS. In the example I use, this changes the answer.

    -When you apply an operation, you should specify what it is operating on. In all of these acronyms, addition comes before subtraction, but with a different example:

    2 - 2 + 2

    The minus sign only applies to the middle term, by convention. It is the equivalent of "adding negative two". You can quickly see that this expression is equal to 2.

    But if you use one of these acronyms, you end with this expression evaluating to -2. I would say it is almost universally accepted that 2 is the correct answer, and -2 is incorrect. Basically, all these acronyms end up being useless waste of time.

    I don't know if I conveyed this the first time, but, as a lover of pure mathematics, this is something that does not have application in life or in study. It's an utterly useless waste of time. There is never a case where someone give you numbers like this, where it is not clear what order the numbers should be applied in.

    Even your "BODMAS" isn't universal, lots of people learn "PEMDAS" or "BEDMAS"

    At any level of mathematics after elementary school, you never see terrible expressions like this. Well, except for facebook and twitter

    Take for example: 2/2*2 It is 0.5 or 2 depending on order. But if I were anything after high school (I was more complacent in high school, I guess) if someone gave me an arbitrarily solved equation or expression like this, I would be livid and raise hell at them for trying to do that.

    I dunno, looked like Queen Catherine? (Russian Queen).

    I actually thought about it, and almost didn't guess, because "shot until he was dead" is a line in the song multiple times, and I saw no sign of it. I forgot about the poison being in wine. The only thing that really made me think of the song was the woman.

    I have to say, that man is assumedly supposed to be Rasputin, and the AI really doesn't know what he looks like.

    But there was a level entry form. So he entered it, but then disqualified it? Or someone else entered it on his behalf?

    Ahoyo hosted, and lots of creators were invited to submit. When Ahoyo discovered TASing tools for WiiU, TTH was his way of showing it off. With a tendon issue, they couldn't make and play a hard kaizo level anymore. So, yes, Ahoyo entered TTH themselves, then made sure it was disqualified. The point was for people to see the playthrough and accuse it of being a TAS, which would be the reveal, as per Ahoyo's message. The viewing of the levels with the judges was live streamed, so the audience was supposed to see the levels and call it out, too.

    Then no one noticed, and the TAS tools seemed to have died out. <strikethrough is broken for me for some reason, just assume some nonsense here>

    Edit: My bad, I heard talk of TASBot trying to get their jank tools to work for WiiU, I didn't realize this but someone has already cleared TTH with TAS. Just those streamers going for last 7 days of RTA clear attempts.

    If he didn’t want to sabotage their task, he should have admitted it right away when he uploaded it.

    Admit it to whom? The 10-15 people that made up 0% way before Nintendo ceased allowing uploads, back when Team 0% was another meme team?

    You have strong negative opinions for someone who doesn't seem to have any grasp on this community or the timeline in which this took place. No one told Ahoyo that their level was the last until they asked them if it was TASed. Ahoyo isn't streaming nowadays, and isn't spending their days going to streamers who played a game he played to see if one of the millions of levels was theirs.

    Ahoyo "confessed" as soon as people contacted them and asked. They were also a very well known member of the community, it's not like 0% was discovering TTH, especially after we all saw bombs5.

    Besides, since when do we not allow TASes in the Mario community? It is "faked" at a stretch of the word "faked". There are plenty of faked SMM levels where the creator cheated the cleared for upload flag. TTH is completable.

    Am I understanding that he entered it into a competition, too?

    I feel like you aren't even half assing reading that paragraph and trying to take it in the most negative light.

    Ahoyo hosted a contest where people showed off levels, and TTH was disqualified by themselves.

    The Fahrenheit scale was built around human biology.

    Nope, it was built around the highest and lowest extremes some dude could create in his room. Not based on human biology in the slightest. Don't repeat this false information.

    0C isn’t even that cold, and 100C is literally instant death.

    Yeah, but counter argument, who gives a shit? The "meme" doesn't say anything remotely close to "from 0 to 100". I don't know why you are under the impression that these scales become inaccurate if you leave the 0-100 range. I live in a region that frequents -40C to +40C over a year- that's centered on zero, so it's already better for "how humans feel" than being centered on 32 and pretending there is some cosmic/celestial/god ordained reason for it.

    Kelvin is the most scientifically objective scale, but also the least intuitive for humans...

    Still no one giving a shit- the "meme" doesn't remotely even suggest anything related to this.

    Be forewarned that I am willing to die on this hill

    I don't know why you sign this off with "I'm an obnoxious twat", but I'm perfectly happy with using the block function if the threat is real.
