- Comment on Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are? 4 hours ago:
Maybe because we don’t get the psyop that putin is not an evil bastard, so we do not feel wronged when we hear about him.

- Comment on Anon thinks the French are posers 2 days ago:
Is sugar an ingredient though and not a condiment, more like salt & pepper?
- Comment on Anon thinks the French are posers 2 days ago:
The most elegant and refined food, fries.
- Comment on Anon thinks the French are posers 2 days ago:
Or just ‘frites’
- Comment on Anon thinks the French are posers 2 days ago:
Also here we call it “cafetière à piston” not french press.
- Comment on Anon thinks the French are posers 2 days ago:
Like the espresso, invented by the French (express or exprés? nobody knows which one it was, but making 1 little cup at a time was new and fast), then the Italians improved it, especially with gruppo 61, group head 61. Now they have the best coffee 😔
- Comment on Anon thinks the French are posers 2 days ago:
A full revolution takes you back to where you started.
Also, cinema was invented by the French. Kind of cool IMO.

“Where is this study you talk about?”

- Comment on Can't install app because it isn't "certified" by the government 5 days ago:
Well today it’s maybe a bad idea (I havent really digged through it all recently but it seems to be a not good idea), but back in the day Xiaomi was the beast phone for cheap, with all the bells & whistles like swappable battery, sd card, good CPU & RAM etc. for a fraction of the cost of an iPhone or Samsung.
So well, time changes!
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 5 days ago:
Isn’t nuclear energy like super safe and have killed incredibly few people compared to all the other energy sources?
Or are you talking about destilling the magic rocks very much and putting them in a bomb?
- Comment on [Thread] Mental Math 5 days ago:
IIRC the imaging was just a black & white camera with the ball being black.
Detecting what is a ball is of course a whole other game, that I think was not the question. But if was then yes, that is more complicated.
- Comment on [Thread] Mental Math 6 days ago:
No, IIRC it was just : film the ball and repetedly do: “is the ball to the left, go left. Is it a little to the left, go little to the left” etc.
Like a PID but with only the P part. I don’t know if it makes any sense :-)
- Comment on I've got a double peen AMA 6 days ago:
Same for Soft face & double peen.
- Comment on [Thread] Mental Math 6 days ago:
Read somewhere that catching is actually dead simple, just “move towards the image of the incoming target” (I’m not talking about the arm kinematics).
There were a robot paper bin that zoomed under stuff you threw up in the air using no complicated algorithms for example.
Funnily many algos are calked on physical and chemical effects in the real workld, like splines for example were made with a thin metal bar and lead weight bending it to get the lines used in boat hull construction.
- Comment on What your coffee preparation method says about you 6 days ago:
270€ on Amazon here, but you sure got a chuckle out of me 😁
1 litre of delicious coffee in 5 minutes is hard to beat though.

- Comment on What your coffee preparation method says about you 1 week ago:
Linux Mint (Moccamaster) it just chugs along and makes the best coffee possible. Fast and reliable.
- Comment on Warcraft 1 and 2 Remastered and the long-awaited 2.0 patch update for Warcraft 3: Reforged have just launched on PC for Warcraft's 30th anniversary 1 week ago:
Ya but it was sort of an algorithmic bug, induced by this very efficient and low memory path finder, so good luck finding someone coding that today…
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 1 week ago:
System.base.stuff.output.out.printfunctions.println
Or so it felt every time you wanted to dump something into the console…

- Comment on Warcraft 1 and 2 Remastered and the long-awaited 2.0 patch update for Warcraft 3: Reforged have just launched on PC for Warcraft's 30th anniversary 1 week ago:
I wonder if they fixed the pathfinder in warcraft1. It was a really smart wallfollower, but it could go in circles in the tunnel levels.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 1 week ago:
C# is just M$ java IMO. What a crap language too.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 1 week ago:
They have sort of pointers, like references, that can be null…
You just “new” stuff to it and let the “garbage” collector deal with freeing stuff up. When it feels like it.
