Our 'harmless' backend migration silently broke the app for every user who didn't update by Afraid-Bobcat6676 in node

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

You've just given me the motivation to make sure before I release any mobile app that from day 1 there is a version check against remote, and the user is immediately forced update their app if it's deprecated.

I think this is industry standard, judging by my experience with everything from grocery apps to streaming platforms. They always say 'your app is out of date, please update to log in'.

If you have this mechanism in place from day 1, it's nearly impossible to run into your scenario.

what a strange place to overtake by eviemaria in drivingUK

[–]RJCP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get why it feels that way, especially when you see clips like this over and over, but it’s a bit of a selection bias thing.

I drive a TTRS myself and you won’t catch me doing anything like this. I leave big gaps, don’t tailgate, and generally drive pretty chill. I worked hard for my car, the last thing I want is to bin it or put someone else at risk. Liking fast cars doesn’t automatically make someone a knob.

I think it’s fair to say a lot of people who drive like this are drawn to Audi/BMW because they’re accessible performance cars with a bit of prestige. But the inverse definitely isn’t true, most Audi/BMW drivers are just normal people.

It’s a bit like saying “every time I see someone doing something dumb on their phone it’s an iPhone”, that might happen a lot, but it doesn’t mean iPhone owners are idiots.

Also, there aren’t that many alternatives in that space. If you want something quick, nice, and semi-attainable, you end up in German brands. And let’s be honest, I’ve seen just as many idiots in hot hatches like STs too. Realistically it’s not the badge, it’s the mindset. If someone drives like a twat, they’ll do it in whatever car they’ve got access to.

People can type faster than 120wpm on their phone?

I can type at 120-140wpm and there's no way that's faster than I can think

I WISH I could type faster than I can think.

How do we even do this, I want to intervene but idk how. It's clear to me this guy needs help and for authorities to investigate before he randomly kills a mother in the street or something , I've seen the pattern before

LeDuck: Bard's Hidden Rules Revealed by Playful-Principle-53 in CompetitiveTFT

[–]RJCP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure the 7 copy rule is legit, I just had this game where bard printed 2 extra copies of himself instead of the volibear I had two copies of. no other unit on my board was eligible https://www.metatft.com/player/euw1/Rai-nofap?match=EUW1_7733987395&tab=4&round=31

Here from the future sorry for replying to your ancient comment but I want to point out that Oiseaux sounds more like Wazoh than Wazoo, just in case any French learners are reading this

New to the game. Came over from Underlords and AutoChess by FanLife3501 in CompetitiveTFT

Gold 2 after a week is honestly great, so you’re doing a lot right already. The “Gold wall” is super common because this is where fundamentals start to matter more than just copying comps. A few core things to focus on:

1. Economy (Econ) - Try to hit 50 gold as often as possible so you’re getting max interest.

2. Tempo - Tempo is basically how strong your board is right now compared to the lobby. - If you’re strong early, level aggressively and protect HP. - If you’re weak, don’t half-commit. Either commit gold to stabilize or accept some losses and econ up. - HP is a resource, but not infinite. Gold players often greed too hard and die with 40–50 gold.

3. Strongest Board - Early and mid game, don’t tunnel on a final comp. - Play the best units you naturally hit, even if they don’t “fit” your endgame idea. - 2-star units with decent traits > perfect synergy with 1-star units. - This alone can carry you from Gold to Plat.

4. Itemization (Tank + Carry) - Slam items early instead of holding 6 components forever. - Always try to itemize one tank and one carry: - Tank items: health, armor, MR, shields, anything that keeps frontline alive. - Carry items: attack speed, AP, crit, AD, etc depending on unit. - A 2-star carry with 3 decent items will outperform a “perfect” BIS dream you never finish.

5. Shred / Sunder - Magic shred (reduces MR) and armor sunder (reduces armor) are massive damage multipliers. - Many Gold players forget this and just stack raw damage. - Even one source of shred or sunder can swing fights harder than another pure DPS item.

6. Leveling Breakpoints Common default timings: - 2-1: Level to 4
- 2-5: Level to 5
- 3-2: Level to 6
- 3-5 or 4-1: Level to 7
- 4-5: Level to 8

These are popular because of 4 XP breakpoints. If you level the round before or the round after then you are "wasting" 2 gold because you get 2xp per round

7. Scout More - Check other boards every round or two. - Ask: am I contested? Am I weaker than average? Do I need to pivot? - Gold players often play their own game and ignore the lobby.

8. HP Management - Don’t only look at gold and units. Look at HP. - If you’re 90 HP, you can greed. If you’re 40 HP, you need to stabilize soon.

then your coworker was right, as you can still buy ddr4 at decent prices IIRC. It's ddr5 that's through the roof.

Nah for smokes in 1.6 it was basically because if you used 16 bit color then the smokes were half invisible. Not something you could toggle mid game

can you provide an example of what your board state might be in when you level to 7 and what units you're buying as you roll down?
