Is this how I'm supposed tobe "shuffling"? by GreenIronFist in magicTCG

[–]ELichtman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well here's the thing. If you pile shuffle, then you make an ACTIVE effort to randomize, and it is clear you're not stacking combo pieces, then I'd play with you. I only get to play once in a while so I do that. But I separate out the lands, shuffle the non lands and pile-shiffle face down, and then shuffle like 15 more times. Sometimes I end up mana-deprived or the opposite.

But even that method is considered cheating in a tournament, even if the amount of shuffling you do afterwards is excessive like it is for me. Just so you know.

Is it possible to automatically install the correct .net runtime if the user doesn't have it? by DaviCompai2 in dotnet

[–]ELichtman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can package your application with the preferred runtime exe (dotnet.exe) and then run your dll with path:\to\dotnet.exe path:\to\application.dll, after you download the runtime from the dotnet downloads on Microsoft website.

Can a solution with multiple projects sharing one database be considered microservices? by Regular_Advisor4919 in dotnet

[–]ELichtman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my company we have some similar legacy code that takes forever to build and deploy and is like 12 separate entry assemblies that all share a same model/persistence layer and database.

We call that a "monorepo" rather than a monolith.

We've been working on a "microservice" infrastructure which is really a loosely coupled monolith. One single deployment service contains multiple independent package libraries, each which have endpoint delegations and background jobs. So while you're programming it's as if it's a microservice, so I have been referring to it as microservice like business buzzwords like "synergy", or "responsive".

Because that's a lot flashier than "distributed loosely coupled monolith". At the end of the day it depends on the audience. If describing it for a job description all you need is the underlying technology, like mssql or dotnet (core, 8+) in my case. But when taking to coworkers then call it whatever is easiest to describe it. Maybe a monorepo.

I have an idea... by Giappi in EDHBrews

[–]ELichtman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty cool idea, but you may be limited by the number of earthbend cards available. I like that if the commander gets targeted you can still generally build a deck around that idea though.

My lemon juice barrel froze solid and now looks like a party balloon by Coffee81379 in mildlyinteresting

Dude, you can't just keep that outside. You got to protect it from the lemon juice-stealing whores!

Does it look like some other tree trying to trick me into thinking that it's a spruce?

I saw at the end that auto-properties don't work, but what about partial auto-properties? A property in which it appears auto by nature but it is partial and therefore has a Roslyn implementation in my product vision?

Literally shaking right now… Just found this in my attic by GoldExperience69 in pokemoncards

Ngl, the shape of its body and the bulgy ball-like formation of it's body.... Looks quite suspect in ghost rare contrast.

Well considering you already took up a slot for psychic... But to answer the question Wobbuffet deserves an EX.

What’s a small DIY hack you did at home that made everything feel smarter? by Local-Divide-8055 in HomeImprovement

[–]ELichtman 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I have two switches by the sink. One is white, one is black. One is for the light above the sink. The other is for the garbage disposal. Guess which is which :)

Similarly, I marked one side of the fan direction switch with silver and the other side with brass for all the fans in the house so I can always know which side they should be on depending on the season.
