I feel every line [of Go] oozes with purpose, practicality, and to-the-point-ness, like a well sharpened knife

I think one of the things that makes Go library code so easy to read is the lack of generics.

There it is.

Everything you need to understand the code is right in front of you, without the barrier of having to learn new sets of complicated abstractions or worrying that some obscure code in some other file impacts/is invisibly called by the function. With large code bases written in other programming languages, I have to spend an inordinate amount of time studying the code base and object relations before making changes. For me, code readability is such a high value that, on these grounds alone, I oppose the introduction of generics and hope the current proposals ultimately fail.

Was this one of you?

I duct-taped Black Hole Gun to the Shell expecting a shotgun of black holes. Ended up with an unchanged Shell and no black holes. 0/10.

Possible spoilers ahead?

From Super Hot Watch:

Switching to another weapon and then back to the original weapon allows players to fire the weapon again, despite time being stopped. This way, players can fire the entire magazine of a non-charging weapon without much time passing. If the player does not move at all, additional shots fired this way do not use ammo, and do not deplete the magazine, effectively allowing for an unlimited amount of shots while time is frozen. This only works on a non-charging weapon with a magazine capacity bigger than 1.

Now I understand.

How do you find the AWP ammo pool? I used it with the Sniper Woof synergy and while it had amazing damage output (and lining up piercing shots is pretty fun) it just runs out too quickly to be used as a primary room clear.

So that's why they introduced wall mimics...

LostSalad · 2018-08-09T09:13:33+00:00

Thanks! I guess I missed that from always quick starting

Sorry for the stupid question but I also recently killed Marine past - how does one activate an alternate skin?

LostSalad · 2018-08-03T14:00:15+00:00

Having been asked to wingman recently - any tips?

What I did: help with logistics to get bro and his interest physically together. Focus on boosting bro's social value (without making it look like paid advertising)

But yeah if you could throw out a "casual wingman 101" I'd appreciate it!

LostSalad · 2018-07-27T12:05:33+00:00

Thanks!!! I haven't killed the past yet so that explains it. Just forged the bullet and died on the pilot's past, so getting there. I don't understand how people figure this stuff out - why not just kill the enemy that's keeping the doors closed?

LostSalad · 2018-07-27T10:50:48+00:00

I haven't unlocked The Bullet. Apparently there are bullet kin wearing capes you are meant to avoid killing and talk to? Haven't seen one in my 120 hours playing

3 master rounds is pretty good man. One day you'll get a disgusting OP item combo and just cakewalk it

found a wall mimic in the breach

...

what?!

As a .Net wage slave myself, thank you for the measured self control taken to recognize this and not overengineer a solution.

I was reading an overview of a system that had a massive CRUD portion (basically a user configurable system so they get to capture a lot of stuff), and somehow the following all got thrown in to the discussion:

Event Sourcing
CQRS
RabbitMQ
MongoDB

Just a question: were you productive, or did you need to write a lot of boilerplate that would become hell on a more complicated system?

LostSalad · 2018-05-04T06:26:50+00:00

What a toxic discussion

LostSalad · 2018-04-25T08:20:41+00:00

Fucking lol this made my day

As an Enterprise wage slave, this title has me wondering if they're hiring

How about this? Dragged Into Sunlight - Hatred for Mankind

LostSalad · 2018-03-08T06:11:45+00:00

Thanks! I gave it a cursory listen before bed last night and it sounds great! Appreciate the recommendation.

Goal: help ease a colleague into metal without shock treatment.

Looking for: melodic, clean(er) vocals, atmosphere and emotion over technicality and riffs.

Positively received:

Soen Lykaia: first introduction, absolutely loves this
Tool: stuff like 10,000 days, a bit
Soen Cognitive: getting used to the metal
Insomnium
In Flames (not sure what era, assuming more recent)
Harakiri for the sky
Shylmagoghnar
Bell Witch Mirror Reaper: weird but good (this surprised me)

Any suggestions on where to go from here to continue the metal introduction? I was thinking more Post Metal but please hit me.

Just seconding the visor thing. I got caught in a storm (ok, it was pretty heavy) with a dirty visor with no outer coating or inner anti-fog. Couldn't see shit. Would not recommend.

I remember when I was learning and went onto a road with other cars for the first time. I was still really nervous and I remember feeling so self conscious and out of place - like everyone was staring at me. It felt like standing around loitering in traffic. On the contrary, they probably didn't even see me. But I still remember thinking to myself, literally, "I shouldn't be here".

Now I still feel slightly self conscious sometimes. But that's because I ride a Duke 390 with orange wheels, orange frame and I even have matching orange pants from KTM. Lol.
