You seem to know what you are talking about but the other guy skimmed a wiki article after a brief web search, so I’m not sure whom to trust.

Games@lemmy.world•GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam”English
3·1 year agoDo you have a source for this? People like to repeat this rumour but I’ve never found out where he promises anything like that.
People hide this pattern called “loss” in unrelated context to confuse people. And people who recognize it feel smart, or angry, or disappointed. It’s a form of mild trolling, there is not much more to it. The meme originates from a comic but this is completely irrelevant.
I agree with your core message, that the issue is caused by bad notation. However I don’t really see why you consider implicit multiplication to be the sole reason. In my mind, a/bc is equally as ambiguous as a/b*c. The symbols are not important.
You don’t even consider this in your article, instead you seem to take the position that the operations are resolved from left to right. This idea probably comes from programming languages, as they commonly use this convention, but I haven’t seen this defined in mathematics anywhere. I’m open to being wrong here, so if you can show me such a definition from an authoritative source (maybe ISO) I’d be thankful.
As it stands, you basically claim “the original notation is ambiguous, but with explicit × the answer is obviously nine, because my two calculators agree”, even though you just discounted calculator proofs. By the way, both calculators explicitly define this left-to-right order in their documentation.
The ISO section 7.1.3 you quoted is very reasonable and succinct, and contradicts your claim that explicit multiplication sign removes ambiguity. There would be no need for this section if a left-to-right rule existed.

Baldur's Gate 3@lemmy.world•What can you ACTUALLY use Mage Hand for?English
21·2 years agoI remember using it only once to a great effect, it’s similar to your example with the gem. There was an item in the nest of big birds and we couldn’t deal with them, so we hid behind a corner and used a hand to throw the item towards another hand who was able to throw it to a safe spot.

Programming@programming.dev•This comic was published less than ten years ago, and it's wild how obsolete it is
251·2 years agoWhy do you think it’s obsolete? I suppose nowadays we can use AI generative models to explain the difference between the easy and the virtually impossible, but it still can be hard.

Baldur's Gate 3@lemmy.world•Baldur's Gate 3 Final Q&A - Larian on Origin vs Custom Characters, Rule Changes, Crossplay and More
1·2 years agoYou don’t need to take the same number of levels in both classes, it’s common to take a single level from another class to get some proficiencies or class features.
The biggest negative is that you postpone cool class abilities, and you cannot get the best ones from higher levels. This also means that you could mess up the character if you don’t plan the build before starting, but this isn’t a big problem in this game as you can change everything later.
In the interview they mention a specific case of taking two spellcasting classes, that’s what I was wondering about.

Baldur's Gate 3@lemmy.world•Baldur's Gate 3: Do You Need to Play Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 Before?
2·2 years agoRtwp wasn’t the norm as far as I remember, but manuals were. So the systems are explained in the manual, but not too well so there were a lot of online guides.
Anyway you are hardly the only person who dislikes rtwp, it’s a crutch system that tries to give you some control over a full party but ends up in a chaotic mess which is slower than a turn based game would be because you have to pause quite a lot.
I loved BG1/2 in spite of its systems, but I can’t play them today.
If you want to play them, I would suggest a low difficulty, and a lower game speed which both lessen the need to pause all the time. Also most of the party should be melee and archers, assign them the basic combat script so they can fight without too much babysitting.

2·2 years agoWhy not? If you don’t understand a meme it’s perfectly fine to ask for a context or explanation.
Can you elaborate on this? Rules of D:OS games don’t resemble DND at all. They are classless systems.
I could play Loopy everyday. This puzzle pack has been on every device I owned since I discovered it around 2003. including on Nintendo switch.



A and B are also programming languages. A is an APL implementation and B is a precursor of C.
