If you’ve never played a CoD at all, I would recommend just playing the campaign (might be buggy atm though). It usually teaches all the necessary skills in order to be at least of some use in PvP, even when you aren’t a pro in shooters.

Other than that, the Zombies mode is nice.

I feel like that’s higher than the actual livable and free lifetimes the average person has.

I feel like that wouldn’t be within his criticism. The way I understood it, it was that he, and I agree, dislikes the i-frame dodging-centric design because it relies heavily on something invisible like the I-Frames.

If there was an animation, a flourish or some other visual marker it would help tremendously.

Iirc EA lost the exclusive game rights after Battlefront 2 (2017).

That’s also why Ubisoft is making an open-world star wars game

Federated means that any instance that is federated with them receives their content and can bee seen on that instance.

Defederated means they are not federated anymore, thus blocking both users and content.

It’s usually done to combat content you don’t want on your instance

You seem to have misinterpreted what I was calculating.

The 0.5 is the gender of the user, which is important to calculate whether a user gets their own gender as a driver or not.

It’s probably due to the saturation of how many male drivers Lyft has. It reports that only 23% are female. While it doesn’t say how many non-binary drivers there are, I doubt they make up more than a few percent. That puts men at ~75% driver share. So the chance of a a female rider, which according to Lyft are about half of their riders, being paired with is vastly smaller than a male rider getting a man.

0.5*0.75=0.375 chance for a man to get a male driver.

0.5*0.23=0.115 chance for a women to get a female driver.

While yes, you can abuse the system, you have to make a more conscious effort about being a “slimeball”. This isn’t necessarily a feature to prevent SH and SA, but more to make drivers and riders more comfortable.

Oh, and about the amount of code: it would be less code, as you do not need to filter and can just start a match-search.

Okay, so I dug in a bit deeper. Doubles are standardized as a 64 bit bundle that is divided into 1 signed bit, 11 exponetioal bits and 52 bits for decimal. It’s quite interesting. As to how it works indepth, I probably will try to analyze a bit conversion if I can try something

I would need to look into the exact difference of double vs integer to know, but a partially educated guess is that they are referring to Int32 vs double and not Int64, aka long. I did a small search and saw that double uses 32 bits for the whole numbers and the others for the decimal.

Please don’t call him the r word, that’s an insult to the mentally challenged
