Soiled it!

Also the name of one of the best sci fi novels ever written, which has references to the phenomenon

I wept.

My favorite feature is how currying is applied literally everywhere. You can take any function that accepts 2 args, pass in a single arg and return a new function that accepts one arg and produces the result. In Haskell, this is handled automatically. Once you wrap your head around using partially applied and fully saturated functions you can really start to see the power behind languages like Haskell

I’ve been learning Haskell, and now I won’t shut up about Haskell

Okay clearly weezer is not post rock, but there is an overwhelming presence of the genre in this list.

I also love Radiohead, weezer, BCNR, Swans and joy division… soooo

Damn, Post-Rock is in shambles

Never seen this before. It’s incredible!

They hated him, for he spoke the truth.

To each their own, but I am having fun. I definitely understand more about them than I have before now

Just picked it up for myself after bouncing off fighting games my entire life and this one finally feels like it bridges that gap of being incredibly accessible for absolute trash while maintaining an incredibly impenetrable upper echelon of performance. And it just looks so incredible

The volume of cars is a scale factor that determines the impact of traffic causing behaviors and conditions for free flowing highways (no traffic lights, stop signs, etc.). Following too closely and improper lane changing are two specific behaviors that actually create slow downs. There are numerous models that simulate this.

I came here to point this out and love the way you stated it. Confusion, hesitation and unnecessary lane changes are what create traffic. There has never been a major highway development in history that didn’t cause at least some short term issues. We should give city planners a bit more credit than that

You’re right, doesn’t change the point though. I have never encouraged anyone to try Lemmy because of how prominent some of this stuff is in the front page, even with nsfw toggled off

51% yiff and fucking degenerate kink content, 48% memes, 1% other

Energy weapons help a lot, you just have to keep applying pressure on him to quickly break the shield. The trick with the missiles is to dodge forward when the missiles are closing in at you at around a 45 degree angle. That way you get behind them without them having enough space to turn around be hind you.

You’ve probably beat him by now but double shot gun double grenade launcher. Stay very close to him in phase one and fire all your weapons at once. At close range you will almost guarantee a stagger. Follow up with another shot then wait for your weapons to be fully reloaded and do it again.

Using this strat you can enter phase 2 with 20-40% of his hp left. Then just clean up the rest

Just finished it and checked Lemmy and saw your reply.

Overall:

This is among the best world building I have ever read. Saying that PSS subverts expectations is a huge understatement. I won’t spoil the ending, but anyone going into the hook probably should know that it is a very polarizing conclusion. I personally loved how Mieville was willing to take this chance with such a long book. I put down the hunger games after book one because I hated that an oppressive government willing to sacrifice people for entertainment suddenly allowed Pita(sp?) and Katniss to survive. PSS respects that stories don’t have to be all tied up and neat at conclusion and that sacrifices should have meaning. Truly an outstanding experience in my opinion.
