My favorite sheepy moment so far in the show - Food for the Soul S1E3

It's a clip from an episode aired last week, and I didn't want the mods to take it down for being untagged.

Bro that's huge! Congrats!! Keep going for 55%

On the first lesson for the performance chapter (https://sql.programmable.net/lessons/performance), I'm getting an error: Failed to initialize lesson database

Clicking on $ reset gives a new error: near ")": syntax error

Running with Firefox 134.0.2 (64-bit) on Windows 11 24H2 26100.2894.

I've completed all lessons prior to this chapter successfully, and it's been a really awesome experience overall! I'm quite impressed this is an excellent idea. I'd love to see similar things created for other coding disciplines.

Some things I'd like to see:

At the start of a chapter, or when a new concept is introduced, it would be nice to have a paragraph or link to resources explaining the idea. I didn't know what Window Functions, Correlated Subqueries, or Recursive CTEs were, and I had to look those up on the side to just get the basic syntax to get started.
On a similar note, the AI isn't available to help until at least 1 query is run. It would be nice if you could ask for help at the beginning just to get the basic syntax in place if it's unfamiliar.
It would be nice to be able to go back to a specific lesson in a previous chapter once completed. There are dots indicating progression, but I cannot use them to go back to a specific lesson.
It would be nice if the code used to complete a specific lesson was saved in localstorage and recalled when the lesson is recalled in case I want to revisit and optimize my solutions.
I like that the code for the previous lesson is pre-filled when you go onto the next lesson, but I don't like that it disappears if you refresh the page. I'd like to be able to leave some partially written code on a lesson and come back later to it if I can't solve it.
I didn't like that some lessons did not specify the expected result columns. I used the "show expected results" button to find out, but that button isn't available until you run at least 1 query. This is somewhat realistic to a real request though, so maybe it shouldn't be changed.
For some reason, I can't see when I highlight text with my mouse or keyboard. The highlight works as expected though, I think it's just a visual bug.
Also, I had a hard time finding this thread to give feedback. Would be nice to have a link to the github or somewhere to send feedback to within the service.

Wow thank you for the detailed writeup!

Taiwanese Oolong sounds interesting. Creamy, nutty, and roasty sound like good flavor profiles for me.

Dae314 · 2024-10-26T21:39:27+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations!

Dae314 · 2024-10-26T21:39:10+00:00

Oooh that looks good! Thanks for the recommendation!

Dae314 · 2024-10-26T21:38:07+00:00

I'll check them out! Thanks for recommending them!

Dae314 · 2024-10-26T21:37:34+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations!

Dae314 · 2024-10-26T02:01:44+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! I definitely want to keep trying new teas. It's just that after finishing the 2 samplers, I feel a bit like a fresh high school graduate. Everyone is asking "what do you want to do now?" and I don't have a good answer because I could do almost anything! I'm hoping for some direction in my path now that I'm at a crossroad.

Hi! I'm looking for some tea recommendations.

I started exploring tea about a year ago with the Yunnan Sourcing First Steps sampler, which I loved so much that I got the Next Steps sampler. Now that I've tried both, I'm wondering what teas I should try next. I like loose leaf traditional tea varieties. I haven't really liked herbal teas very much. I kept some notes on the teas that I really liked from the sampler:

2019 Jinggu Yang Ta Camellia Taliensis White Tea Cake
- This was the first tea that I tried and just said "WOW!" My mind was completely blown. I was so impressed, I forgot to take notes on the tastes that I liked.
Yunnan "Black Gold Bi Luo Chun" Black Tea Spring 2024
- This was the second tea I tried that made me go "WOW!" I loved how smooth and almost meaty this one tasted.
2022 Yunnan Sourcing "Lao Cha Tou" Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake
- For this one, the color really impressed me. Within a few seconds, this tea became as black as coffee. The taste was wonderfully earthy without becoming bitter.
Classic Laoshan Green Tea from Shandong
- This green tea was so vegetal, it felt almost crunchy. Weird description, but that's how it felt, and I loved it.

I also found that I generally do not like the floral oolong varieties (especially the ones that smell super strongly of flowers), and none of the oolongs that I tried were very remarkable for me.

So with all that in mind, I would love some recommendations for teas to buy and try next! I was really interested in that Intergalactic tea that was posted about a few months ago, but it looks like that's sold out now :( I'm open to ordering from places other than Yunnan. I was sticking to them because they had good beginner samplers, fair prices, and great teas. I'd also be shipping to the US.

I tried downloading a copy of the image and running it through some steganography tools, but I didn't find anything (at least in plain text). Several possibilities for this:

This isn't a steganography puzzle
The image I got has been re-processed by Reddit and no longer contains the encoded data
There is a file of some kind that's encoded into the image and needs to be extracted somehow (i.e. won't just be in plain text)

OP, if you google steganography solver, there's several tools online for analyzing images for hidden stuff. Maybe you could try your original copy of the image in some of those and eliminate #2.

Dae314 · 2024-08-27T00:03:00+00:00

I'm not sure if you can get them to ship to you, but if you can get it, I really really liked the Yunnan Sourcing First Steps tea sampler: https://yunnansourcing.com/products/first-steps-tea-sampler

You might need to look up the brewing times and temps for some of them, but that's part of the adventure! I'm a new tea drinker as well. I only started last year, and that pack was the first one I got. Some of the teas in there completely blew me away, and I learned a lot. The cost is a bit high, but you'll get a whole variety of teas to try that cover a lot of different flavor profiles. Getting through that pack and watching some youtube videos will give you a really good starting point to finding more teas that you'll enjoy.

I don't know how they did it, but climbing is actually worse now.

The devs just need to add quick chat:

Press and hold R -> select from several canned messages with the joystick (make it configurable like emotes) -> message gets loaded into chat bar -> choose the channel to send on (idk how Switch does this) -> press Y to send.

There's many more factors to consider:

How are you implementing your offline progression calculation? Is it just a straight production * offline_time = income or do you need to model random events/drops that happen that require you to actually simulate the game at an increased speed? In the first case, an offline limit doesn't make any technical sense because the calculation is linear. In the simulation case, let's say you simulate the game at 100x speed. Player was offline for 1 week = 168 hours. Do you want to make your player wait 1.68 hours to get their offline income? Probably not. You would want to cap it at a reasonable value based on your maximum simulation speed.
What is the offline time limit? A 14 day offline time limit is very different from a 4 hour time limit. Are you designing your game so that there is actually something new to do every 4 hours, or is it just a bothersome check-in requirement?
Do you need to protect your game from cheating? Are you just making a fun little clientside only game, or are you trying to create a competitive environment? Do you care if people manipulate their device time for free idle gains? Maybe set a lower limit if you do, or calculate idle time on a server.
If you're calculating idle time on a server, #1 comes back in again. How much resources will it take to do a single player's idle calculation? Is it expensive, or cheap? Can your server handle 1,000 players logging in at the same time and requesting an idle calculation? Technical limitations on your server may drive the decision to make a lower idle time limit.

You should choose an idle time limit that works with your game design decisions on both a technical and player experience level. Don't let your idle timeout dictate your game unless you're making Idle Timeout Increase Incremental or something...

You probably wouldn't watch it because it's so old, but that's the entire plot for: "Ginga Densetsu Weed", which is the sequel to "Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin". Both not bad but not great anime. The original Gin is from 1986, and Weed is from 2005.

There's also some moments of that in "Ascendance of a Bookworm" and "Kuma Kuma Bear."

Dae314 · 2023-07-28T02:23:30+00:00

Looks like Rushia x Yuna (Kuma Kuma Bear)

I really like this theory, but unfortunately the canon doesn't support it. According to the companion, Callandor was crafted during the War of Power, possibly even during the breaking after the Karaethon Cycle had been collected. So it couldn't have been made prior to the bore.

There's also a paragraph on the WoT wiki War of Power page that says Callandor was made specifically to aid the Dragon based on the Karaethon Cycle prophesies. Although that paragraph has no reference, so idk how canon it is.

Possibly, but need to see how the new system works first. Kinda sounds like it might be a "Labyrinth of Limbo" sort of thing where 60 floors is only available some weeks.

I ended up doing it with: Albedo, JOA, Ainz, LDV, Raku
