What discussion you know you are on the wrong side of?
  • The vast majority of games these days handle difficulty levels by simply tweaking the numbers of how much damage you take and deal. They build the game around a “recommended” difficulty and then add hard/easy modes after the fact by tweaking the stats.

    Other games simply turn off the ability to die, or something along those lines.

    In both of these cases the game is clearly built around the “normal” mode first. I’d be curious to see a clear cut example of that not being the case.

  • Is it possible to conceive of a universe macroscopically similar to ours in which matter is NOT fundamentally composed of oscillating waves, or would any such universe be logically contradictory?
  • It would be pretty hard. There’s a reason quantum mechanics is the current explanation, and it doesn’t start with the Bell entanglement experiments.

    Black body radiation would have some bizarre behavior without quantum mechanics.

    The radiation spectrums of stars are also very dependent on quantum mechanics.

    Some related phenomena such as transistors and phosphorescence are hard to explain without quantum mechanics.

    A big one is chemistry is highly dependent on quantum mechanics. You could have a limited understanding of ionic compounds with just the Columbic force, but covalent bonds require quantum mechanics to explain.

    Most of physics history is studying the edge cases and gaps in the current understanding, and filling those in. Quantum mechanics didn’t just appear suddenly; it was derived as an explanation for many previously unexplained phenomena in pieces my many different people over time.

  • xkcd #3015: D&D Combinatorics
  • Absolutely!

    The rules are a base framework for the DM to build upon.

    Also the scenario in the comic isn’t actual DnD it’s really a math problem phrased in a DnD setting using standard DnD dice. In a real game the DM would probably do something like what you described.

  • Ever bought a programmable robot for a child?
  • As a kid I had Lego Mindstorms and I liked how it was able to interface with other Lego parts. I did find it kinda hard to program, but the Mindstorms coding was based on LabView, and it looks like both of these have coding options based on Scratch, which is how I first learned to code and would 100% recommend.

    Idk much about the new Spike thing but if you have or would consider buying more legos I’d go for that one just for the extensibility.

  • Microsoft Please Fix
  • You may be confusing git with GitHub.

    git is a version control tool that lets you keep and manage a history of the files you are editing

    GitHub is a website (not directly affiliated with the group maintaining git) that lets you upload, backup, and share your code using the format used by the git tool.

    source control just refers to software to manage your source code in some form. git is the most popular tool of its kind, but there are others, for example mercurial.
