@lyon Since we’re talking about spatial data and I _think_ you’re trying to generalize this outside of storing the entire 2D grid, a quadtree is probably what you’re looking for: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadtree

Some other possible approaches here are B+ trees (for entity-relational data) or applying a Bloom filter to the entire set if it is very large. If your grid is very small, using a hash approach like you mention is also optimal.

Reminder to also appreciate all of the kobolds today. Their tireless work behind the scenes ensures your dragon is happy, fed, groomed, and well-polished to meet each day.

Hello, I’m oncall for work while the Do Not Call registry is down, and I just love receiving 5-7 robocalls every day from forged caller ID. I would like to place an order for a very large slingshot, so I can jettison both the people responsible and this administration into the sun. ☀️

@orrery Also, if this at all involves going to or from JIRA, my deepest condolences.

@orrery One of those cases in which I want godtributes to exist on Mastodon:

“Agile for the Agile god! More process for the process throne!”

@GlitterDisaster@snouts.online Twitter is in a difficult spot, because they can’t filter without tanking their stock or losing their business model. I have some sympathy for their plight, but firmly hope more folks escape to Masto.

@salameleon@snouts.online Thank you!

@qdot I’m impressed by how well their internal CAD tool works. Decomposing entire engine designs into trees rooted on the engine block, and making that user friendly, must have taken a ton of work to get right.

When I have enough spoons to set this up, I think I’m going to use a Discord server or Telegram group. I’m leaning towards the former, because it facilitates voice chat better (for TTS) and doesn’t do worrisome things with phone numbers. On the other hand, Telegram is better for notifications, I think?

I think I’m looking into how to bridge these two together later, if I can’t settle on just one.

I bought Auto Mechanic Simulator 2018, and it is everything I hoped it was: blasé, yet completely serviceable as a puzzle game to train the 3D art muscles when I’m too sleepy.

One of my favorite things is they left a few mock-up assets in the final game, assuming players wouldn’t think too hard about them. Which is why their arc welder appears to have the safety instructions for an electric tea kettle.

Bless these developers and the simulation genre in general.

I think this game is what happens when you combine a Bicycle deck of playing cards with Pathfinder, blend on low, and add extremely satisfying trinkets and baubles for flavor.

I'm thinking of setting up a weekly(?) board game night, and despite there being tons of tools to do the thing, I have no idea which way to do so.

Do people prefer Telegram groups for this kind of thing? Discord servers? Open-ended invitations via Masto or other social media? Trello? Google Calendar? Messages transmitted in rot13-encrypted Morse code from a number station?

I am not sure how to do the thing, but I'm picking at setting something up on TTS and our Copious Gaming Table™ here at home, should locals (and friends of locals) be interested.

@Soreth I think this is because we’re seeing an RTA route instead of a race?

The fact they used it on Draygon is kind of a tell — usually folks X-factor and shine spark in a race setting, but single RTA lets them gamble on spike suit.

@Soreth And walls are suggestions (more so in Prime, but gosh, the mock ball strats are so good)
