Just the other day I read an article pinning all the blame for the current tragedy in Venezuela on the west, which had been supposedly working to undermine Venezuela's sovereignty and bring down the Chavista revolution - all the usual tropes of the far-left conspiracy theorist were there, at one point it even called one of the Venezuelan opposition leaders a Zionist. It was all a pretty disgusting denial of the inconvenient truth.
In the strict sense, a well-defined function associates one, and only one, output to any particular input. The term "multivalued function" is, therefore, a misnomer because functions are single-valued.
We can treat arctan as a single-valued function by restricting the domain of tan x to −π/2 < x < π/2 – a domain over which tan x is monotonically increasing. Thus, the range of arctan(x) becomes −π/2 < y < π/2.
After all, what does "arctan(1)" mean? It means "what is the value for which the tan of that value gives 1?" There are infinitely many such values.
Likewise "0/0" means "what is the value which, when multiplied by 0, gives 0?" Likewise there are infinitely many such values.
After that, add the following line to /etc/portage/make.conf:Language: python# Copyright 1999-2017 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 EAPI=6 inherit eutils DESCRIPTION="Library for using System.Drawing with mono" HOMEPAGE="http://www.mono-project.com" LICENSE="MIT" SLOT="0" KEYWORDS="amd64 ~arm64 ppc ppc64 x86 ~amd64-linux ~x86-linux ~x86-solaris" SRC_URI="https://github.com/mono/libgdiplus/archive/5.4.tar.gz" IUSE="cairo" RDEPEND=">=dev-libs/glib-2.2.3:2 >=media-libs/freetype-2.3.7 >=media-libs/fontconfig-2.6 >=media-libs/libpng-1.4:0 x11-libs/libXrender x11-libs/libX11 x11-libs/libXt >=x11-libs/cairo-1.8.4[X] media-libs/libexif >=media-libs/giflib-5.1.2 virtual/jpeg:0 media-libs/tiff:0 !cairo?

About legal stuff, what is legal and what is not in creating an emulator ?
Warp, I find that shocking. Isn't the PS4 a modern piece of equipment? What browser engine is it using? What's the CPU arch? My 10 year old laptop can run the slowest test in <20 seconds. That's just mind boggling...
My feeling is that the game does this invalid save at the end whenever it is still your turn to play. Probably, when you issue an attack command, the game immediately changes to the opponent's turn, and if you win the match with an attack, this wrong save is avoided. However, by using a pokepower, it is still your turn, and the game performs the save.
EDIT 2: My theory should be correct. I managed to do it with Gengar!
The thing is, in order to use Gengar's Pokepower, the opponent needs to have more than one Pokemon, so the only thing we can do is get a duel with zero prizes. Is there any way to exploit this?
EDIT 3: I finished testing, and unfortunately I have to conclude that the only way to exploit this glitch should be with Zapdos. The bug occurs when the duel finishes midturn. the only way to do this is by using PokePowers. If the duel finishes by any player running out of cards, the state you get with Continue Duel is perfectly valid, and no corruption should be possible.
If the duel is finished by running out of prizes, the game handles correctly the case when zero prizes are on the field. Initially, I thought I could make the prize amount variable underflow to 255, but that's not possible, the game saves which prizes have been picked with a bitmask, and calculates the amount of prizes left by counting the number of 1's in the byte.
The pokepowers that cause damage are those of Zapdos, Gengar and Machamp. Machamp's is useless because it happens during the attack phase and the invalid save doesn't happen (I tested). Gengar's pokepower needs more than one active pokemon to be used, so it can only glitch the prize amount.
The final possibility without Zapdos is to lose the duel before the attack phase. Since running out of cards is no good, we need to KO one of our pokemon without an attack. Sadly, no Pokepower allows this. I even tried something very exotic, like putting Gengar against Machamp, and damaging it with Gengar's power to see if it would counter and kill me. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen. Machamp doesn't counter Pokepowers.
So, unless I am missing some key mechanics here, the only way to exploit this glitch would be with Zapdos. Maybe it works in Pokemon TCG2, where you get the card before the end of the game?
The idea is simple. A binary alloy with substitutional disorder maintains the crystal structure of the pure solids, the only disorder comes from different atomic species occupying random lattice sites.
The only macroscopic property of the alloy is its composition, in the example it could be the ratio of black atoms to the total number. The objective of any model is to find out how the alloy's other properties (like conductivity or optical absorption) depend on its composition.
For technical reasons, it is much more simple to calculate things in a system that is periodic, which the alloy clearly is not. So, in the example above, we would approximate it as a periodic system. For example, we could pick a 2x2 square, with black and white atoms at some positions, and repeat it indefinitely in both dimensions.
We do this for all 2^4=16 possible 2x2 squares (yes, some of those are actually equivalent to each other, and I once had to develop a code to reduce the number of possibilities to test, it is a very hard problem for realistic crystal structures, so we should ignore it now), and calculate whatever we want in each of these 16 configurations. In the end, we do an average to obtain the value in the mixture.
Let us denote the alloy composition (fraction of black atoms) by x. The property you have calculated in the i-th configuration has a value P_i. If we have the probability of occurrence x_i of the i-th configuration, which depends on x (that should be evident, if x is very close to 1, the probability of a configuration with lots of black atoms should be much higher than in the case where x is very close to 0), then we can calculate the average in the alloy at composition x as:
P(x) = sum_i x_i(x) P_i
The thing is, it is not so simple to calculate x_i(x). Some alloys really like mixing together, in this case the values of x_i would very close to random. Others are like water and oil and don't like to mix at all. In this case, the probability for mixed configurations would be very close to 0.
The paper I linked to in the beginning of the post tells you how to calculate x_i(x). The idea is the following: you need to provide some energy to create a given configuration, which we call the formation energy E_i. If this energy is very large, the probability of the configuration occurring is very low, if this energy is small, the probability is high. Alloys also have a growth temperature T. It varies a lot depending on the alloy, some are as high as 1000 K, others as low as 100 C (you can cook them). If the growth temperature is very large, differences in energy shouldn't matter at all and the alloy should be completely random.
Suppose the total number of atoms in any configuration is N (in the 2x2 square example, N=4), and consider that the i-th has n_i black atoms. The formula for calculating x_i(x) is (define b=1/kT, where k is Boltzmann's constant):
x_i = (a^n_i)*exp(-b*E_i)/ (sum_j (a^n_j)*exp(-b*E_j)) (1)
a is a positive non-dimensional constant. To find it, you must solve a polynomial equation (which is easy to do numerically), that you obtain by imposing the constraint
sum_i x_i*n_i = N*x, (2)
this just means that the average number of black atoms should equal the number specified in the composition x.
Now, to the actual challenge, which is something that helped me a lot when I figured out (I can tell the story if you guys want):
Using the system of equations (1) and (2), prove that, if you shift all energies by a linear function of the number of atoms, that is, E_i -> E_i + A + B*n_i, the probabilities x_i obtained from the equations are the same.

Right now I'm motivated by, as silly as it is, saving 10 seconds so that I beat your VBA real-time. If I have a better Water Club, better leaders, and save 1-2 deck edits, I think I can save that much.
It's all good, the horrid tutorial followed by menuing too fast for anyone to understand isn't cut out for moon I'm going to be doing another one actually, I'm writing a Lua script now that simulates RNG/shuffling to automatically check what frames might work much more thoroughly than I did manually, I'm hoping to go down to 4 deck edits
That will work if you extracted the files in a folder named BizHawk in your home folder. If not, change the path above. Give it execute permission by running chmod +x ~/BizHawk/EmuHawk Now, if you use GNOME, create a bizhawk.desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications with:Language: bash#!/bin/sh /usr/bin/mono ~/BizHawk/EmuHawk.exe "$@"
[Desktop Entry]
Name=BizHawk
Exec=/home/felipe/BizHawk/EmuHawk
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Based on the fact that you're still deciding what to do, I'll wait until you've found an approach that you like. :-)
Regarding other toolkit, this is why I mentioned the /BizHawk.Client.EtoHawk/ solution in my previous post. Eto Forms uses GTK on Linux. It provides a cross-platform UI API very similar to WinForms.
If you're interested in building a brand new cross platform UI, I'm willing to help. But the main reason I kept porting the WinForms one is because of all of the features. I just want to use BizHawk to play games and sometimes watch videos posted on the site, so I don't really have any personal interest in developing the TAS tools.
EDIT 2:
OK, here's a summary of what I have now. All input problems are solved. I can play games fine and watch movies.
All pure C# cores, including NESHawk, are working. Gambatte and QuickNES are also working. I think the other cores should work too, I just need to set up a build environment for them.
Some tools are not working. RAM Search, Cheats and Trace Logger don't work (call user32.dll, which doesn't exist in Linux), TAStudio and New Hex Editor don't work (need gdi32.dll). Lua doesn't work (the C# interface is Windows exclusive).
I have just finished replacing all code that calls this with message boxes explaining it's not implemented. I'll try to get more cores compiled and release a binary if there's any interest.
EDIT 3:
After talking to natt and adelikat, I think it makes more sense to port the cores using the new waterbox system. Since that will take a while, here is the compiled program. Let me know if you find something that's not working.
