I don't know how we did it, but we won tonight's game of Pandemic Legacy. Definitely the worst starting conditions we've had, and things were starting to snowball, but we pulled through.

And we did it in the first half of the month.

GodEmperorDune

MBraedley

We definitely got lucky in one respect.

And come to think of it, we may have cheated.

oops

No, we didn't cheat! Now I don't feel bad about it.

Unionhawk

Hmm...

Do I finish homework then play overwatch, or finish homework then go to trivia

MBraedley

Play Overwatch, then go to trivia

Homework is for suckers.

Unionhawk

I've been doing too much "play overwatch instead of being productive" this week

I'd do some comp if I didn't have a drink with dinner

And would rather not have my skill rating tank further than -200 points off season high/placement

Also I'd only have time for like a match before we'd need to leave for trivia

BUT HEY AT LEAST I'M PLATINUM FOREVER

(since realistically I probably won't get +500 on season high)

Kevin van der Velden

Since the Flood up to our epoch 2,326 years have passed, during which, if only five couples survived, they would have produced 2,213,867,610,000 children. If these calculations are extended up to the year 2000, the resulting number is 34,326,414,259,675,172,000 which, together with the 9,289,000, makes 34,326,414,259,684,461,000 offspring. ...

@KevinvanderVelden At that point your getting beyond the point of any sort of realistic. that number is way to fucking high.

Kevin van der Velden

Yup

I mean, we're talking about the flood, realistic got out way earlier in that book

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden going from ~2.2*10^9 to ~3.4*10^19 people in ~130 years is also kind of insane.

Kevin van der Velden

Yup

Arperum

You'd have to have 2*10^10 offspring in ~130 years per couple. (assumin monogamy for ease of calculation.

so assume every single person in 1877 is capable of producing offspring for the next 130 years. That's 1560 months. One child every 10 months. Let's also assume that at age 15 all kids join into this mad scheme of reproduction. They also stay alive for the full duration.

So first couple gets 156 kids. after 15 years the first generation also starts having kids. so they have 138 kids themselves. 10 months later second kid starts also reproducing -> 137 kids from those. ANd so on. so second generation results in 9591 kids.

That's a lot of grandchildren.

ANd I don't want to bother figuring out what math function I need to use to calculate the total. But I doubt you're going to end up with even remotely enough kids. Even if you somehow multiply by two because everyone always has twins.

GnomeSlice

Arperum

@GnomeSlice Mostly math and boredom.

GnomeSlice

I see

Arperum

10:23

Dammit. Still bored. I just calculated the number of third generation children (namely 295240). working on the function to calculate fourth generation.

ok, so that's 3469070 fourth generation kids.

although that somehow feels wrong and far from enough. So I probably made a mistake

goes of to check math

nope. math checks out.

hot damn. this goes all the way to a 9th generation.

arda

@Nzall yes

Arperum

Aha! Math was wrong. I knew it. Not as much as expected, but it's 4.78 million fourth generation

hmmm. wolfram alpha doesn't compute the next generation accurately anymore. It gives an estimation. somewhere close to 3.91758*10^7

And the next generation WOlfram just gives up and doesn want to calculate sum (sum (sum (sum a, a = 1 to q), q = 1 to k), k = 1 to j)*(67-j), j=1 to 66

To much sum nestings probably.

I give up. It's all based on insane premises anyway.

Wipqozn

@Ronan you're welcome

gotta share the misery

but yeah, something like that strikes me as the kind of thing you'd figure out just by going through someones code and seeing it, but then again if all te devs you run into just do "Ronan is a " . $ronan then you might not ever encounter it

Even less devs seem to realize HEREDOC syntaax is a thing

Knowing all the ways you can create strings in your language is super important imo, since you'll likely want to use whatever one makes your code more readable.

RedRiderX

12:42

@Wipqozn True but tbh Heredoc never really made my code more readable

But I guess I just default to escaping to html for a lot of stuff...

Wipqozn

@RedRiderX If I'm doing some fairly long multiline string it's my preferred way of doing so.

Either way it's good to know about it. Although the worst thing, is that I had heredoc syntax in code once, and a dev went through my code (the one I'd normally complain about) and then broke it all by indenting all my heredoc. He indented, pushed all the code live, and shit started breaking. Pissed me off so much. If you don't understand what you're seeing int hat code, don't touch it. Either ask or google.
