Q: What determines how long my train is?

I am playing Train Taxi, and the train gets longer as you pick up passengers (it is a snake-style mobile game). It doesn't seem to add a new train car for every passenger I pick up, but I can't really figure out how it decides when to add a new car. When does Train Taxi add a new car to my train?

@Wipqozn Nice to know it then. Btw, did you get Cadence of Hyrule?

12:12 PM

TIL what nautical miles are

Just use normal units

Problem solved

@Kevin tbf a unit of measurement that's one arc-minute is a pretty cool unit of measurement

One arc-minute of what though? The site you linked doesn't say

I mean, it does say... but it's wrong because the earth isn't spherical

@Kevin Of the earth circumference as measured around the equator

@Kevin RTFA M8

"you could pick up one of the halves and look at the equator as a circle. You could divide that circle into 360 degrees. You could then divide a degree into 60 minutes. A minute of arc on the planet Earth is 1 nautical mile."

It's not a circle

12:16 PM

This is heptowhateverseconds all over again

@Memor-X Robot Lives Matter.

Do they mean they then wrap a circle around it that fits the biggest extreme?

@Kevin It's circular enough.

Or do they measure it as if the length of a rope wrapped around it, what about the coastline paradox

Regardless, it's now defined as everything else is. Some amount of meters (which are defined based on the laws of physics)

@Kevin I don't think that's how the coastline paradox works.

12:20 PM

@Yuuki I meant coastline paradox as a third option, my bad

@Ash Given the context of this revelation, it's "our people".

@Kevin You hate gamemaker, but is the only engine I actually know how to build. If I were to learn a language to make bots, automations, api, with database connections, which language would you suggest? Python?

Python probably

@Moacir Python

And I don't know gamemaker it's just a thing that is useful in a very few limited circumstances

@fredley Ok, this link you sent has the best argument for me to do something: "Update and format data in Excel spreadsheets of any size"

@Moacir I beat it on the weekend. It was very enjoyable.

Equator

An equator of a rotating spheroid (such as a planet) is its zeroth circle of latitude (parallel). It is the imaginary line on the spheroid, equidistant from its poles, dividing it into northern and southern hemispheres. In other words, it is the intersection of the spheroid with the plane perpendicular to its axis of rotation and midway between its geographical poles. On Earth, the Equator is about 40,075 km (24,901 mi) long, of which 78.8% lies across water and 21.3% over land. Indonesia is the country straddling the greatest length of the equatorial line across both land and sea. == Etymology... ==

12:24 PM

@Wipqozn How's replayability?

Hmm, does anyone have any books or websites for learning python when you've not learned any other programming language yet? A friend has 'automate the boring stuff' but it's too complex for her to start with

@Wipqozn I'm a little lost on what to do, honestly.

I managed to stumble my way into finding the first dungeon and beating the boss but I have no idea where to go.

@Moacir You may find pandas to be somewhat transformative to your ability to do things with Excel data, but it's a bit more advanced: dataquest.io/blog/excel-and-pandas

@Moacir I don't intend to replay it anytime soon, but the world is randomly generated, so there's definitely some replayabilty.

pandas is a python data processing library.

12:26 PM

@Yuuki You basically just wander around trying to find dungeons and items.

Hex Gambit is shutting down, not being completed

That sucks

@fredley That site is wrong btw. Nautical miles are defined based on latitude, not longitude

Nautical mile

A nautical mile is a unit of measurement used in both air and marine navigation, and for the definition of territorial waters. Historically, it was defined as one minute (1/60 of a degree) of latitude. Today the international nautical mile is defined as exactly 1852 metres. This converts to about 1.2 imperial/US miles. The derived unit of speed is the knot, one nautical mile per hour. == Unit symbol == There is no single internationally agreed symbol. M is used as the abbreviation for the nautical mile by the International Hydrographic Organization and by the International Bureau of Weights and...

@fredley I managed to go evolve inside VBA until Class Modules, but I think from now on things gets harder to do without that extra resources

Geographic miles, on the other hand, those ARE defined as based on the longitude

@Nzall In that case it seems like @Wipqozn was wrong

user15026

12:28 PM

@GnomeSlice that's a backer only post. I hope people get their money back

@Moacir Yeah, I'd do the ATBSWP spreadsheet module, then if you find that easy try pandas

Oh I thought that URL would work for others

@Ash I don't think they will, but I don't expect them to either

@fredley Nonsense. He cannot be wrong in his own year

12:30 PM

What's Hex Gambit?

@Moacir in fact, in his year he cannot be anything but wrong.

@Kevin Then it would just be a regular year

In a normal year there's the slimmest of hopes that he might be correct

@Ash I love the detours that the show takes.

@Unionhawk I literally only became a mod to expand my trolling power

12:36 PM

@fredley Best platform

@Kevin rimshot.mp3

I can recommend picking up a pro-tem site once you're a mod

All the trolling power, none of the responsibility

@Moacir Ronnie mod jokes are fine because as far as I know, not an active user and they actually ran for mod.

That reminds me, I should check for flags this month - oh there are none

I've been waiting for the full launch to play the PC game at all, maybe I should try it before the servers die

12:38 PM

@fredley Best advice. Really @Ash dropped the ball on that one.

Or just forget about it

@Wipqozn ikr

But maybe let's not call out specific people, especially if they aren't involved with the mod election.

@fredley We've got 3901 flags backlogged right now. @Robotnik and I decided to just not even bother once @Ash stepped down, and just save all the flags for the new mods.

@Yuuki Sorry

Can someone remove those messages please? It was uncalled for

(My messages)

12:39 PM

> If I (this is Adam, the artist) am able to learn enough about programming to finish another game or turn things around, I intend to get back in touch and give you guys whatever I can to try and make it right.

@Wipqozn Are you serious? Holy shit.

Can you imagine what would happen if that @Wipqozn guy became a mod

I never saw more than a dozen or so flags backed up when I was mod

@Wipqozn Truly we are in the year of Wipqozn

@fredley No hahaha. That be hilarious though.

@Unionhawk For one, we'd probably have 3901 flags in the backlog.

12:40 PM

@Wipqozn I was gonna say. Those are SO numbers

@fredley Yeah that be horrifying.

starts going on a flagging spree

@Wipqozn For the quarter ^^

@fredley My word

Also unrelated, I'm very close to Marshal finally :o

12:42 PM

@Wipqozn ikr

Clearly you should all recognize my brilliance and just give me mod-rights now

@Kevin unrelated because it requires helpful flags iirc

I'd say I've handled more flags today, but I thin the "day" just switched over 45 minutes ago.

@Unionhawk yeah

It's not just "flags cast" that'd be insane

Flags actually have slowed down a little bit, it seems, since @Ash stepped down. I'm pretty sure the whole site is just in mourning.

12:44 PM

Flagbolt! Flagbolt! Flagbolt!

user15026

@Yuuki it is so fun and also makes me hungry but makes me actually wanna cook.

user15026

@Wipqozn that must be it.

@Ash IT's either that or it's because all our biggest flaggers are too busy making themselves look fancy for the election

I love getting emails from kayak about a search after I already booked at a higher price :D (that low price flight probably doesn't fit with my time constraints it's fine)

We all just wanted our flags to be read by Ash, now that they're gone there's no reason to flag things anymore.

12:46 PM

@Ash was clearly playing both sides

user15026

@Wipqozn nah it's definitely the first thing you said

user15026

@Kevin aww <3

@Kevin That must be it

Turns out all the flags were raised by @Ash's socks

Starbait reminds me of the good ol' days, when stars were lucky to star on the list for more than 24 hours.

@Wipqozn Those were the days

The biggest troll would be that as soon as the election is over, @Robotnik and I both step down.

Heh

12:49 PM

@Wipqozn With immediate effect

That sounds like a @Wipqozn move

It's ok, I'd step up to the plate as pro tem mod

You have been warned

@fredley well shit, that makes me want to do it all the more.

I have just quit my job, so...

Although it's kind of wild when you realize that every mod from before @Robotnik and I election are stepping down.

12:50 PM

Question: If I open IDLE(Python) and do the import commands, this does not mean all modules are kept imported forever, right?

I'm not saying that I'm responsible or anything, but you know, just do the math.

So I also picked up Slay the Spire.

@Moacir They're imported at runtime. Whenever you run the program again they'll be reimported.

@fredley How much time do you have remaining before the resignation actually comes into effect?

@Yuuki I didn't mean to star that but I'm gonna keep it because yeeeesssssss

12:51 PM

Can't remember off the top of my head if IDLE is a persistent kernel

Amazing game. Did you buy it on Switch or PC @Yuuki?

@Kevin 2 months

One run, I picked up the Ritual Dagger card followed by an event that let me duplicate any card I chose.

@Wipqozn Switch.

But you know what notice period is like

Yeah

12:52 PM

@Yuuki Just a heads up that the Switch version is currently really buggy, but there's a patch waiting on approval.

So I had two Ritual Dagger cards in my deck. Fun thing about that, the damage increase is applied to both cards.

It was pretty great that I could stack up the damage on it twice per combat.

Yeah I heard the switch version got framey with a bunch of cards on screen, but it's not terrible

Are the reasons you quit any better yet fredley? Or at least better to ignore

It's not "I did the wrong thing on accident because of the frames"

@Yuuki Sounds like a bug tbh, but I've never used Ritual dagger before, so who knows.

Have you unlocked Silent yet @Yuuki?

12:54 PM

@Wipqozn Makes sense in my opinion. But having a 1-cost 36 damage nuke twice per combat was pretty great.

@Wipqozn Doesn't sound familiar.

@Yuuki Basically have you beaten the game with Ironclad yet.

@Wipqozn Nope.

Also fun combo, that card that removes costs in return for no draws, multiple Blade Dances, and Finisher.

@Yuuki Those are silent cards. Did you buy the prismatic shard or do a daily?

Although it's possible another bug is you're getting cards from another class. WHO KNOOOOOWS.

No wait, I have the Silent.

But I don't remember beating the game.

I think I beat Act 1 and then died to the boss in Act 2.

@Yuuki You might just need to beat act 1

I thought it was beat the act 3, but I could be wrong

I just beat Act 1 on my first attempt on switch, sicne well, I've got 150 hours on PC.

so I didn't really notice the requirement.

1:06 PM

I just made a helloworld executable that is 10 mb somehow but it works

@Moacir executable? Are you turning your python code into an exe?

'cos normally you'd just have the .py file

Quijibo

@Moacir Heh i can make a 100mb hello world even if i try to make it in less than 100kb try to beat that

@fredley For my personal use, yes, I will keep it py. But most of the "automation of boring things" that I do it here is for people that have no programming knowledge

So I will probably need an exe for them to be able to use it

@Moacir So you're building stuff for other people to use?

@fredley Yep

1:12 PM

(the reason that it's 10mb is that the python executable is bundled along with your tiny file)

I already do this with excel, however due to cost reduction some people use libreoffice

pyfreeze and things like that aren't really compilers or anything, they just put a thin wrapper around the standard python executable and libraries and call it done

@Kevin Yeah this

Which to be honest wont be a problem, unless I manage to get it to GB's

And I think I wont

No, it won't.

If you write 1MB of code, your executable size will be 11MB

Unless you start bundling in tensorflow etc.

1:14 PM

Yeah, that will cause ballooning

I will MAYBE do a database system, but thats for the future

It's smart enough to only include what you use and nothing more

@Moacir Interfacing with a local sqlite db or connecting to something central?

@fredley Sqlite initially, something central if it works well

We already have multiple systems here, but the people from Dev are always flooded with work

Like, they need to fix so many things they cannot work on improving the QoL

So I focus on QoL on my downtime

And then when they get a demand for something I did, it is ready, so it is basically check + deploy

(I mostly do reports to be fair, not anything that changes the DB, just read from it)

After all, accounting is not about working with numbers. Its about working with information (However we convert information to numbers to be easily comparable)
