I found Double Toil and Double Trouble, which cut cooldowns in half and double my damage, respectively. They also cause me to take double damage each, for a grand total of x4 damage taken.

I made it to 1-3 and got two shot by Atlas the earth boss. (One hit alone did 200 damage to me out of 300 max health.)

I beat the chaos trials (literally "beat" using massive hard hitting fists of earth magic) and became the Wizard of Legend.

My extremely slow moving machine gun wizard was blasted to death by Flame Empress Zeal's meteor storm.

Sucked a TNT barrel into my face with a wind spell, which exploded and killed me.

Dreamed I was in my old high school. It was transition time between classes (normally five minutes long but in the dream it was infinitely longer) and the hallways were full of people. I was lost and everyone I'd recognize in the crowd would stare at me.

Dreamed I was in a futuristic mega-city. Lots of skyscrapers and metal and glass and technology.

Then a flood came, combined with a big temperature drop and an air conditioning system malfunction that turned the insides of buildings into freezers. Flooded buildings would have frozen over pools of water that would be flooding multiple floors. Everything was ruined.

Dreamed there was some kind of invasion from hell. There'd be "hell gates" scattered around the world and monsters and demons would come out from the gates and spread to the surrounding areas. As a side effect the hell gates caused this creeping black fungus like thing that would spread over the ground as the monster population increased. Somehow over the course of the dream there were also zombies.

I think I woke up from that one, then fell back asleep. Had another dream after that. It was a dream where there was a suicide epidemic where kids would walk in on suicide scenes, record them, and put them up on the internet for other people to see. And doing so spread this "ghost" through the internet which would haunt and possess other people who saw the online videos and drive them to suicide.

I guess it was spooky dream night.

What if it was an endangered bird?
It was a dove, they're common like pigeons around here.

Was driving on the highway this morning. It's a holiday so the roads are relatively empty. There was a bird sitting in the middle of a lane, presumably because it's early in the morning and the birds are out and the roads were empty enough that the bird could sit in the road like an idiot.

I thought it was a rock I could pass over harmlessly until I was too close to avoid it and I saw its little bird eyes. Pretty sure I killed it. :c

First time I've hit an animal while driving. Why would you sit in the road, bird.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What's going on in your fort?
« on: May 23, 2018, 06:56:18 pm »
Haven't played df in a while. Have yet to play 44.xx either. Read about how 44.10 has stress issues, so I figured I'd make a fort in a terrifying biome for fun. Just embarked to start the fortress of Inkveils. The site looks promising, it's between a terrifying forest and normal mountains, we've seen tetrahedrite and hematite poking out of the mountain, there's a brook at the top of the mountain to be tapped for an easy water source, and it rains ELF BLOOD.

No zombies yet, which is both promising and disappointing. I brought two hammerdwarves fully expecting to deal with zombies. The site is pretty close to the only goblin civ in the world though, so I can go harass them for fun.

yeah, and btw totally not a dating site, it's basically social media for various flavors of (often geeky) real-life meetups.

e.g. if you run some sort of club or get-together, you can also set it up on meetup.com as additional free advertising, or just so you don't have to invest time in your own website, with the nice touch that people don't have to be on facebook to join.
Yeah, it looks neat. Seems like a good way to try and meet other people in real life who share hobbies or interests.

And here we are all very good looking from what I heard ;) grwwww
Internet communities just don't scratch that social need anymore. I wish I could just talk to people and make some friends. I don't try reaching out to people though and I'm afraid I'm just going to be alone with no friends or anything for the rest of my life. This is the one thing I just can't seem to change or improve.

I know it depends on the context of "lonely" but meetup.com or similar is good way to get some random social stuff going.
Huh. Never heard of it. Meetup.com is something to look at.

I think I used the wrong term earlier. I said database but I suppose really it's an issue of ADT design. Database sounded fitting at the time because the ADT I'm stuck on in the program would be a big container of data. As far as data persistency goes I figured I'd use files stored on the computer hard drive with the program reloading all past records form the files upon booting up.

Are you working in C++? Possibilities are expansive but if its for your own purposes and you dont want to learn mysql you could just go on and store everything in vectors indexed by sequential ids. Write routines to dump them in bulk into a file, and routines to read them all from a file into vectors again. Write your own search query functins that loop through the vectors.
Yeah, c++. Everything you described sounds almost exactly like what I was planning on doing, actually.

With the speed of even a raspberry pi these days efficiency wont be noticeable until you are dealing with many thousands of rows of transactions.
True. I feel like this kind of thinking would lead to sloppy design though. Then again when I'm doing this for a learning exercise the program is gonna be a sloppy work-in-progress anyway.

Anyone got experience working on databases?

I'm working on a program that's supposed to be a basic budget keeping program, where the user inputs records which hold a value for how much money was spent or earned, as well as the date of the transaction and a comment string describing the transaction. Based on the records the program makes changes to an accumulator which represents the user's account of money.

I'm stuck on how to store and manage the records. Ideally I want the program to have no limit to how many records can be kept, and there can be multiple records for each day in a calendar year. I also want to have search functions where the user can search the database of records for all records that contain what they are looking for. Most of those searches would then have o(n) efficiency because they have to search each element in the database.

So the requirements for a method of storing the records are:
-unlimited storage
-don't need to be sorted (I would think sorting could make more efficient search algorithms possible though)
-good for o(n) efficiency searches
-most frequently used operations are o(n) searches and adding new elements to the database

I was thinking I could use a table and a hash function, I never did it before and figured it would be good for learning, but I don't think it would work all that well given my goal of having an unlimited potential number of records to store. Also coming up with the hash function seems tricky.

Other than that I'm familiar with arrays/vectors, linked lists, and trees.

Efficiency doesn't need to be a priority but I want to try to keep things efficient and use what would work best.
