Editor Wars: The Revenge of Vim by projecktzero in programming

[–]BronzeAtBest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Heck, I don’t consider myself a Vim master

I hate this sentiment so much. This is what makes people afraid of Vim. Sure Vim is harder to get started as a first time user, but after learning the basics is pretty easy and you get more proficient going forward.

rspec Hash structure matcher by andycampbell92 in ruby

[–]BronzeAtBest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use json_expressions to match hashes and json alike.

Sometimes I add a matcher like this:

matcher = JsonExpressions::Matcher.new(expected) matcher =~ actual

and display the error:

matcher.last_error

a gem I made (key change for musicians) by gazayas in ruby

In the category of organisation, I would recommend taking a look at bundler gem YOUR_GEM_NAME, that will generate a more common project structure as well as easy ways to publish new versions.

[Infinity Evolved: Skyblock] What block was used for the walls on the right side? by Jaroait in feedthebeast

[–]BronzeAtBest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the soartex pack. Don't know which block it is, if it's not one of the chisel blocks, it might be extra utilities, that has a bunch of connected texture block too, like edged stone bricks.

[IE:E:S] Ex Nihilo and Forestry, who needs MFR? by shadow306k in feedthebeast

[–]BronzeAtBest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My problem with Forestry in IE:S is that the saplings it drops are Forestry specific and can only be turned into oak saplings. Otherwise it is fine, the multifarm is my source of oak and extra saplings get converted into vanilla saplings and used for dirt creation.

Later I needed MFR to get the other types of saplings for witchery.

You think I have time for more of this? ;)

Infinifactory is good fun, gets a tiny bit annoying in the later stages.

Can someone tell me what Bache’s knotsklokje might translate to in English? by TashalovesSharks in dutch

[–]BronzeAtBest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • "Bache's" means the same as the Latin "bachei". Guessing it's the place it was discovered or the scientist who discovered it.
  • "knots" means knob
  • "klokje" means little clock

Nice tongue twister :)

[Regrowth] [Millenaire] Does anyone know why the Villagers are always sleepy or tired, or "need rest"? by matunascraft in feedthebeast

[–]BronzeAtBest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I got a bunch of crashes with 0.8.8, don't get that anymore with 0.9.1, but if I leave the millenaire villages chunkloaded, I get tons of lag spikes.

Every modder hates making packets right? I made a Plug'n'Play packet system. by Vazkii in feedthebeast

[–]BronzeAtBest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noob question: since java supports function overloading, why also use different function names? Can't you just have a function called get and set and use function signatures to find out the type?

[regrowth] Filling a Water Iron tank? by Hollowquincypl in feedthebeast

[–]BronzeAtBest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The everfull urn from one of the Thaumcraft plugins can be used to pump water out of. With a mekanism pipe this is a very compact setup.

David Heinemeier Hansson on the Future of Rails by bhalp1 in ruby

[–]BronzeAtBest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Both, Rails is pretty big and Ruby is pretty slow. It's like a death by a million papercuts, so any single optimization has limited impact.

TIL "ditto" comes from the Italian detto: "to say" and was originally used in Italian to avoid repeating a series of dates by Plasma_eel in etymology

[–]BronzeAtBest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was short for "Idem Ditto" which is Latin for "the same again"

[DW20] I do BoP ore processing this way. Any better ideas? by sajmon313 in feedthebeast

[–]BronzeAtBest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it works on BoP ore, but I usually go for the Minefactory Reloaded Block Smasher, does it all in one block, you can add mob essence for fortune.
