Halo | Just Dustin Echoes

I was here before any of you guys (save for maybe Trey and JC). HaloENT was doomed from the start

By Poodlestrike Go To PostJumper is an unrepentant, ignorant ass.

That is the true true

By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostI don't know Dwells. The way people talk, I'm literally space Stalin.
No-one is higher on that list

Real talk: I like you, Dwells, and maybe even Proven Deadly more than Jumper.

Oh, the site is called Sports, Life, and Entertainment. SL&ENT, slaent. I get it. It's still SLAMPERSANDENT in my heart.

By dwells Go To PostI dunno, he invited me and I'm easily in the list of worst HaloGAF posters. Like right below Elzar.

Below porn gif tier confirmed.

the only true way to say it

It took me far too long to get that...

By dwells Go To PostSo this site was built from the ground-up, huh? It's damn nice - responsive, modern, nice layout, etc.

Anyone know what it's built off of? My guess would be Node.js and MongoDB.

I believe reilo mentioned that it was Django/Postgres.

By reilo Go To PostInspiration in what way? I consistently look to new trends and better programming standards and Sharp does it as well. He's really into Rust, which is like super cutting-edge.

For the backend we use Django (Python 3) and Postgres.

I'm honestly not entirely sure why I still care about Halo so much. MCC is pretty much dead, and unless 343 and Microsoft have a sudden change of heart and decide to offer a full refund for MCC to people who couldn't get a refund, I can't bring myself to buy Halo 5.

Guess I'm just here since I like y'all for some reason.

Oh, on a sidenote, I picked up some of those BoomCo guns that they're making Halo versions of. I thought they were just another cheap Nerf ripoff, but they're actually really cool. The $6 pistol I bought shoots strong, further, and more accurately than any Nerf gun I've ever used. Apparently it's a Mattel product, and they've got a whole three year business plan to take a real foothold in the market.

Also, the special polymer they developed that isn't sticky and only adheres to their surfaces is absolutely awesome. Honestly, I'm shocked they even brought it to market - I'd imagine it would've been worth more for various industrial purposes or just sold off to 3M.

See if your local Target carries the pistol - easily the most entertaining six bucks I've spent in a while.

This is amazing.

By Granadier Go To PostI believe reilo mentioned that it was Django/Postgres

Cool, thanks. I had thought about picking up Django a while back since I dig Python, but I ultimately decided on Node.js since the market seems to be trending in that direction.

Well for those of you who remember my junior member self i've just migrated over. Been lurking for a few days though, enjoying Frank's posts in particular

Whoa, what's that avatar from? Action figure?

Has RTX annouced any panels yet? Their site won't work on my work desktop for some reason.

By Wahrer Go To PostWhoa, what's that avatar from? Action figure?

Yeah, sideshow collectibles made up some MC, Red and Blue Leader Mark V figures. Dunno if they're still being sold though.

It's the little details on the armor like this, a subtle reach feel, which actually makes CEA Mark V one of my favorite armor sets.

Anyone else here heading to Gamescom on the 9th? If you guys want to know anything, post it here or send me a message and I will do my best to give you a proper write-up. Now hopefully the Halo 5 line isn't absurd.

By Wahrer Go To PostFuck me, I had a huge post on slipspace travel up but accidentally refreshed the page.

Thanks!

LOL. Never. Like, Sharp hates MongoDB and neither of us are too fond of Node.js. If anything, if time and money weren't a factor, we would re-write it from scratch in Rust and Postgres.

It's much appreciated. Let's just hope that second interval is set low enough; ReclaimerHub crew can confirm I type pretty fast.

Friendo! Welcome aboard!! No need to worry about junior status here :P

I really want that Needler. Looks so good.

Hah, yeah. It has to be something reasonable. I gotta look into what/how Google Docs and Gmail does it. They must have a smarter solution.

me in a nutshell

By reilo Go To PostHah, yeah. It has to be something reasonable. I gotta look into what/how Google Docs and Gmail does it. They must have a smarter solution.

Maybe they also base it partially off of word / character count or page breaks? Certain numbers of paragraphs could denote more importance.

By Wahrer Go To PostMaybe they also base it partially off of word / character count or page breaks? Certain numbers of paragraphs could denote more importance.

I think they also detect keylag and poll if you hadn't type a key in for x amount of seconds and then trigger the save, too. Their solution must be quite a bit more advanced since they have to do an entire database write as well, whereas my solution will just be per-browser.

By jem0208 Go To PostHow exactly does slip space work?

I've never heard of a slipspace budget before….

Some other users have adaquetly explained what slipspace travel is comprised of, but haven't seen a good explanation on why there's a "budget".

Einstein's Theory of General Relativity states that noting can bypass the speed of light. (Even today, the idea of a warp drive is contested as literally being unable to work, or will turn into a black hole because in some ways it breaks general relativity.) The Halo Universe gets around this by using particle guns that tear the fabric of space-time apart, allowing a 'safe' passage into slipstream space.

Now, while slipstream space is fine and dandy, it still manages to ignore the speed of light by tunneling through different dimensions. The universe doesn't like this at all as it it creates a paradox. Thankfully in Halo lore, the universe has a method of resolving paradoxes such as these known as casual reconciliation. In the current state of affairs, the universe is able to handle all the slipspace jumps just fine, and dissipates the paradoxes before they cause any noticeable effects.

Under the Forerunner Ecumene though, they had 3 million worlds and likely trillions of citizens. Slipspace travel of a monumental scale was happening literally every second. The bigger the object, the larger the paradox. In this scenario, the universe doesn't have enough time to resolve the paradoxes with casual reconciliation before more are created by simultaneous/sequential slip space travel all around the galaxy. At this point, reality literally limits access to slipspace, slowing it down, or shunting ships/objects in slipspace back into real space.

To prevent events like these from disrupting the Ecumene or causing negative effects on travel, the Forerunners created a slipspace budget, where every legal travel into slipspace was accounted for. With this budget, the Forerunners were able to adequately regulate access into slipspace, ensuring that "slipspace debt" never built up to a degree where it would be detrimental.

Of course, for what the Forerunners were doing in the late stages of their civilization, it totally did. =)

Yeah, no Jumper pls. I couldn't believe people were excited to have him on HaloGAF after years of him being annoying on Twitter.

If he came here and was like, "sorry for being a cunt" I'd accept that. But that would mean he would also have to amend his sins and actually stop being a cunt. Is cunt okay to use here? If it offends anyone I won't use it anymore. Is anyone offended? Pls respond.

i am

Noted ✌

I changed the post back because suddenly responses to it made no sense lol

I think the use of that word is allowed given the right context, and I think that context just might be the Football OT lol.

I think the discussed word is a great word because it's managed to retain some of its shock value by not being overused (in most communities at least). In the right context it's a good word.

It's also kinda satisfying to say when you're really pissed off. Good sound.

Thanks for the info dump on slip stream budget by the way! Makes a lot more sense now.

Word. Jumper elicits that kind of emotional response out of me.

Exasperation?

By Lord of Admirals Go To PostLore is love, lore is life.

Couldn't agree more. It's why I enjoy Halo as much as I do.

Holy crap. Frankie found the best joke account ever on Twitter.

By jem0208 Go To PostExasperation?

Kinda. It stems from his seemingly tone deaf attitude towards his own actions. He sees everyone attacking him for his "criticisms" when in reality we are attempting to point out the callous nature of his posts. You know what? Enough about jumper. Let him keep doing his thing. I know from personal experience that when my forum posting a few years ago was at its worst I was also dealing with the most shit in my life. I was externalizing internal issues I was having. I still do it time to time and have to work really friggin hard to not let it happen.

Hey, now, we have had some real discussion. There's just not a ton to talk about :P

I mean, other than how not-good Jumper is.

At least we still have the Halo Lore Thread to stay on topic. ;)

Just finished reading the preview for Saint's Testimony.

Wasn't expecting the Librarian to make a cameo.

I can't hear you and not quoting your comment to reply to :)

The struggle to wait is real

Hey. Its not my fault that the UNSC loaded their MA- weapon systems with too little gunpowder behind each round.
