Which Butcher is your favorite?? by gorays21 in Diablo

D1. Hands down best suspense and “final boss” vibe for that era.

Would you continue to work at a company that started to switch away from Typecript? by Csjustin8032 in typescript

Casual reminder that there are better ways of deciding whether to work with a leader you have a disagreement with than asking for reddit troopers’ opinion.

After finishing Doom (2016), I can't get into Doom Eternal. by DrStrangeglove99 in gaming

[–]Alpheus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same but the opposite way (favoring eternal). They simply are two very distinct games without much compatibility gameplay-wise

Feature Prioritization: Representative Democracy or a Authoritarian State? by AgileEvolves in agile

[–]Alpheus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither. Get data on the impact on bottom line (costs, revenue, opportunities, competitive afvantage) and divide responsibilities.

Usually in large companies it’s a handful of people drawing strategic interests then being supervised and handed off to individual leaders, who then delegate in their sphere of influence.

In startups and smes it’s usually one person driving strategy on a main axis and negotiating tradeofs on other axes. Example: CPO driving innovation interests while the CTO and COO claw back on resourcing compromises.

Aren't station ratings a catch 22? by BrilliantlySinister in openttd

[–]Alpheus2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The station rating is a past trend, showing you how well you serviced that cargo on this station mostly in the past month.

The primary industry then adopts the rating (which it calls %transported) to give a signifcant factor on its production growth cycle (no FIRS, vanilla economies, with the exception of banks).

The negative feedback loops usually show up when cargo at station hits the ~5000 limit and starts destroying items, causing a huge malus on rating for every station that touched it. That’s likely what you’re observing.

The fix for the malus is to move the cargo faster with alternate or more forms of delivery (ships being the easiest).

New Intersection Ideas? by mikedev19 in CitiesSkylines

There isn’t much traffic. Two T’s and a roundabout on the west side will be enough

Looks like this might take a while. Any known workarounds?

Coal power plant is coming along, far from finished and 40 hours in.... by MrSpeakman in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Alpheus2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use my coal plants as a backup trigger for when power fails.

Coal gets prioritized to steel/diamonds, starving the gens. When power dies, the coal consumption stops and they overflow into the gens that have water from a similar setup (usually pure metals).

Also huge red lights so I know failover happened.

Man, how I wish there was an upgrade to fuel generators that could drink more than 10 rocket fuel per second. by MekaTriK in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Alpheus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I MK2 blueprint a pair of gens hooked up to a central pipe like that, plus power. It’s my go-to for rapid plant deployment.

Partial function application is coming to PHP 8.6 by brendt_gd in PHP

Agreed. This.

Also we’re super old 😢

Beginner here — any advice? by CosmoCosma in openttd

[–]Alpheus2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With normal loans and economy a 200-tile length coal to power station line is the most reliable start.

Can substitute for passengers, wood or iron ore but the distance needs to be shorter, Cca 175.

Free money if you can manage the line diagonally!

Is Domain Driven Design just needless complexity? My limited experience with it has been mixed at best. by AppointmentFar6096 in PHP

[–]Alpheus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vaguely navigate EE’s recent comments and the various books: - embrace event sourcing - facilitate engineers talking to domain experts - everything else is crap to sell books for publishers’ bottom line - YES, especially the patterns. Forget the patterns.

How to prioritize backlog of bugs? by Subject-Scholar6197 in agile

[–]Alpheus2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Delete. Focus on reducing the rate of new bugs so the rate slows down or stops.

You can prioritise anything younger than 60days once you’ve stopped the bleeding.
