| Yellow 11/29/18 12:39:47 AM #49 | shadowsword87 posted... Yellow posted...Base x^2 is the language of computers The more you can factor something into something that resembles a pattern, the more resources your mind has to solve problems. There is no pattern to the number 10 and it shouldn't be at the base of every math equation we do. The only real example I can come up with right now is dividing a number in half (multiple times), which is objectively easier in hex. jramirez23 posted... Have you ever heard of a nibble? Yes. I had to Google it a year ago when writing my NES emulator because the documentation referenced something as "the first nibble of the byte" --- |
| Topic | What is your opinion of "Common Core" Math? |
| Yellow 11/29/18 12:15:33 AM #47 | And to be fair, I don't even like the term byte. What's the significance of 2^8? Why did it jump from 1 to 8? What happened to 2^2? Or 2^4? It's all made way too confusing. Why is it bit -> byte -> kilobyte? 1, 8, 3E8??? --- |
| Topic | What is your opinion of "Common Core" Math? |
| Yellow 11/29/18 12:04:42 AM #45 | Judgmenl posted... Yellow posted...If math was Hex or base 8 it would be easier. 3A,000,000 = 3.A * 10^7 A CPU converts it to binary anyway. A CPU doesn't need or want base-10 for anything, why should we? Literally everything would be just fine and carry over. The binary representation of 30 is exactly the same as 1E. Everything you do on a computer is constantly made harder due to the fact that you have to take into account the conversion between the arbitrary human base-10 and sensible hex math. Convert 432543 to binary. You have to divide it in half and shit. Now convert F54DE2. 2 0010 E 1110 D 1101 4 0100 5 0101 F 1111 How many bytes long is F54DE2? 3. How many bytes long is 432543? Google it. How many bytes are in a gigabyte? Again, Google it. Someone mixed in decimal for marketing reasons. If humanity could switch on a dime from old habits, I would enforce hexadecimal metric. Hexidecimal is real, base-10 is an imaginary human invention. Why wouldn't you want a base you can divide by two without getting 25, 12.5, 6.25 and ugly numbers like that? If I could change it, maybe we could just go by the alphabet. ABCD EFGH IJKL MNOP Base x^2 is the language of computers and music. Quarter note, 8th note. Because humans are flawed they get accustomed to the first thing they come up with. --- |

The one time I tried to watch that show I was able to verify the thing he was talking about was wrong, so now I don't trust any of the info on it. I've heard you argue that global warming is a non-problem because plants absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, so now I don't trust any info from you. --- |

| Yellow 11/28/18 12:01:35 AM #5 | If this guy or Donald Trump didn't have auto-correct they would post as coherently as a Yahoo commenter. He still makes mistakes anyway. I don't think he gets to call other people r's. Do you agree with Hillary now when she said 2 years ago that Half of Trump Supporters are "Deplorable"? That's actually true. Half of them are. The other half hated her because she was genuinely a terrible candidate. --- |

| Topic | When did you start posting on PotD and why have you stuck around? |
| Yellow 11/27/18 4:58:25 AM #19 | I left the pokemon boards because I was modded for asking what people's favorite pokemon was. (off topic, "not relevant specifically to Pokemon X") I was also annoyed with all the certain posters making topics about pokemon girls' feet every day, just most topics being troll topics. I stayed here because there weren't any off topic rules and I just wanted to shoot the shit. --- |

| Yellow 11/27/18 3:04:09 AM #23 | "The average guy is unfuckable." Yes... that's how the majority of human beings get fucked male and female in mostly monogamous relationships. The average guy is unfuckable. Men are unfuckable to you because you're not gay. You won't get fucked because your social skills suck, your reasoning skills suck, and you're probably unattractive on top of it. --- |

| Topic | Games are literally 100 GB these days |
| Yellow 11/26/18 1:23:06 AM #18 | Kyuubi4269 posted... Get an SSD, you peasants. The longer load times would be due to the amount of time wasted by the PS4's calculator CPU decompressing the files, not the time spent reading the files from the SSD. File reading will also likely be bottlenecked overall by the PS4's CPU to not be able to take full advantage of an SSD. Decompression = longer load times bottlenecked by the CPU And I don't own a PS4. --- |
| Topic | Games are literally 100 GB these days |
| Yellow 11/26/18 1:15:31 AM #15 | @Hop103 posted... Developers need to start investing in game compression badly. 103 GB is too high of a filesize. That directly translates to longer load times. --- |

| Topic | Would you prefer to live in michigan or ohio? |
| Yellow 11/25/18 7:11:35 PM #32 | I live next to several amusement parks in Cincinnati Ohio. The drinking water is clean and the people are friendly. There is a bit of an upper class influence and they generally influence schools with their spoiled racist kids. Avoid snobby schools. The laws are annoyingly Conservative every now and then (the hours that you can buy booze, no marijuana). The you have to avoid areas where you could get shot for being white. Generally anywhere you can find a good mix of black and white people is pretty good. The price of living is generally ok, but decent medical care is out of the budget if you're lower class. If you're moving, consider Toronto Canada. --- |

| Topic | Dear python developers of PotD |
| Yellow 11/25/18 3:38:24 AM #2 | Are you doing a neural network sort of deal? Do they allow proxies? Why not write a program that actually hijacks your own "trusted" browser, then open multiple instances of that hijacked browser connected directly to individual proxies? If you find a good proxy you should be able to scape at a good rate. If you still fail at that point you should be able to spoof certain inputs to make your robot seem more "human" anyway. That's my "I don't use Python so I don't know what you're doing wrong" approach. The only scraper I wrote was in VB, and I didn't fight sites that didn't want me there. :P --- |

| Topic | Wait why can't vegans eat cheese? |
| Yellow 11/22/18 4:36:33 PM #20 | BloodWhen_iWipe posted... I know what vegan means but my cousin claims she's vegan to be "cruelty free" There is no cheese industry. When you buy cheese you support the meat industry. Yellow posted... their male calves are used for veal a day after they give birth, they're artificially inseminated and give birth every 10 months, infections are common, the list goes on because they are whiny nutjobs who think they are better than people who eat meat It's human nature to not care about things that don't affect you, especially when you're the one being blamed, so blaming people will not solve the problem. Meat eaters are absolutely not responsible for the animal cruelty done by the meat industry, and Vegan boycotting won't impact it in any way. Lack of regulations are the problem. Still, I respect Vegans for going over the top. --- |

| Topic | Wait why can't vegans eat cheese? |
| Yellow 11/22/18 3:51:34 PM #14 | Most vegans don't want to support the animal meat industry in any way. Sure they like being milked, but on top of that (typically) their male calves are used for veal a day after they give birth, they're artificially inseminated and give birth every 10 months, infections are common, the list goes on, they're not nice to the cows. BloodWhen_iWipe posted... What if I have free range cattle and milk them myself? That would depend on the person, obviously. They don't have a disease. --- |

| Yellow 11/21/18 11:01:15 AM #4 | Well the ocean is rising inches at a time, and it's miles deep, so the mass is relatively the same. It's surface area will also be roughly the same. I'd say that idea... Holds no water. --- |

Your average dog has 6.5 years left to live. It's a dog. I know the average person isn't very selfless, but seriously? Dogs die all the fucking time. --- |

| Topic | The problem with current VR controllers/setups. |
| Yellow 11/20/18 2:20:39 AM #2 | The problem with VR is very simple to me. I could do everything I do on my computer in VR, play all my Steam games, watch all my movies on an Imax screen. I don't do those things because the experience is worse. It's less comfortable on my face/eyes, it looks worse, I'm tethered by the wires, and everything I might want around me (keyboard, snacks) is invisible. If I would want to watch a movie in VR instead of a TV, that would mean VR is a better experience past the "lol wow VR" factor, and I would naturally want everything in VR. It's a worse experience than a TV because it's too early in its life. --- |
