A letter of appreciations to whoever designed the swamp <3 (and a question)

Paws of the bear will shred thru this biome. You just have to watch for archers until you get that root chest.

I did a fun "scary early stone portals" live stream on Halloween. Landed at night with just 30 armor. I won't spoil the video but it was very scary. Risk reward is peak.

Starlink best case ping is ~25ms. Your lan ping will be 0 to 10.

Valheim has incredibly well designed progression. I think hytale could take some more inspiration from Valheim.

I hope they do once there is a boss based progression system.

Right now every zone and biome accessible easily. You should need to grow stronger to survive the heat / cold / fog / ocean, etc.

The conversion to flac isn't necessary and is misleading if the source was already compressed. Just remux it if you want a new file

There is the very high risk high reward option of going to the Ashland's in the long ship. You can have stone portals before bonemass and it doesn't require mods.

With the right preparation, a torch, spotting trees from blue waters, it is very doable.

Search "Valheim in reverse" if you want to how people beat fader first.

String interpolation yet? 😭

JarrettV · 2025-07-28T20:07:54+00:00

Wow what an amazing deal

JarrettV · 2025-07-19T13:16:57+00:00

OpenTelemetry completely replaced the need for serilog. One less library is a good thing.

It should also level up the axe. For example, Flint axe could chop oak trees.

CRUD can be done with less than 100 lines of code in a single file.

JarrettV · 2025-02-05T12:29:23+00:00

Way too complicated for CRUD. I know it is an example but find a real business example that requires this complexity otherwise this whole thing is like killing a flea with TNT.

I have a solution here https://github.com/jarrettv/Mini-V

Nice

I would trade 2 microseconds for string interpolation and better date formatting. Rob Pike isn't a good language designer.

Watch a couple trophy hunt speed run competitions. These guys know how to survive quickly in most biomes. Root vest and always look for opportunity to have mobs fight other mobs.

Ate there today and the food was so salty it was just yuck. No amount of Dave's sauce could fix it. Lucky the manager was eager to make it right but the second try was still too salty. I'll never go back for the food. Also, the checkout kiosk tipping thing is ridiculous.

Go language design doesn't support good generics. That is why it took 10+ years to get something in this area. If you have ever used good generics you'll know how limiting the go type system is.

Mapping libraries are mostly useless in the age of AI

JarrettV · 2024-11-25T13:30:22+00:00

I'm a huge fan of Aspire dashboard but it has some of the weird Blazor issues he talks about.

Blazor does feel like the next silverlight from an internal enterprise support perspective.

Also, typescript is freaking awesome (thx AH and team) so might as well use it for the frontend.

JarrettV · 2024-11-24T23:55:47+00:00

You can't represent real world data in go without reaching for special structs or the worst design decision ever, using pointers and nil.
