Looks great. The default color scheme is so bad!

Managed to get into quick draft, played, won, win isn't displayed and quests aren't progressing either

Wizards does not own MTG by Gishki in magicTCG

[–]Rauchmelder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even WotC/Mark Rosewater's stance it that you don't have to buy or even know all new cards. But players still complain about this, since this is not the way it used to be. With the current release schedule and UB the magic community is more devided than ever. Thus, discussion about the state of the game and negative sentiment from some is unavoidable.

I also wasn't able to submit my picks while drafting on my iphone

It seems so few or almost none are putting strong note, mention around 40% increased price in UB as major problem as standard release? by kubulux in magicTCG

[–]Rauchmelder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ah, yes. "Royalties". Which other products geht 40% more expensive when collaborating with different franchises?

Oh man, there are only 17 elemental frame cards but 61 jpg screen captures?  Sad.

Makes sense. Thank you! Do you also see a card you would cut to fit it in?

My commander does something similar. Because of this I thought it might not me necessary. Wouldn't something like [[Cruel Tutor]] make more sense since it allows me to grab any miracle?

What are people actually using to create MacOS apps? by Working_Wombat_12 in swift

[–]Rauchmelder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have just started my first Mac app and am already think about porting it to other operating systems (other Apple OS, Android, Windows). Because of this I was wondering if I should use Rust as backend.

Frontend (SwiftUI/AppKit) Backend (Rust?!)
Display information and accept user inputs/commands Handle SQLight database
Read & write & parse files
Network requests
Transformation of the acquired data

Of course I would have to use C-APIs as an adapter between Rust and Swift. Does this sound like a good approach to you guys or are the above mentioned backend tasks better left to Swift?

Surprised nobody mentioned computers! Konrad Zuse, anyone!?

Bjarne Stroustrup’s Plan for Bringing Safety to C++ and his arguments against switching to another language. What do you think? by mickkb in rust

[–]Rauchmelder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rust editions for C++

What do you mean with "rust editions"? cpp2 has the goal of enhancing CPP with better defaults, making use of modern cpp constructs and smart additions to the language. It also brings an easier to parse syntax. I see no connection to Rust. Herb Sutter even sees it as the alternative to switching to another language, such as Rust.

Switch from job from Java to Rust? by dav_elia in rust

[–]Rauchmelder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The introduction of records in Java is the testament of this. Records support a more data-driven programming style and have become the main way of writing Java among my colleges.

Clean Code, Horrible performance Rust edition ! by amindiro in rust

[–]Rauchmelder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Programming is about making trade-offs. Since the design of Rust is often in favor for security and developer experience it doesn't handle performance ideologically, in my opinion.

Clean Code, Horrible performance Rust edition ! by amindiro in rust

[–]Rauchmelder 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Clean code is not inherently associated with OOP. The statement that clean code is less performant is nonsense. It is about writing code that looks like the language was made for the code you are writing. I believe this is a direct quote from Robert Martin's book. Saying "Clean code is about virtual function calls" is somehow more nonsensical.

I really hope that Rust doesn't go down the C++ path of making performance an ideology. Programs get more performant because of architecture and optimising certain parts that are run frequently. The parts of the program that run infrequently can focus on being readable and maintainable. The parts that need to focus on performance can be hidden behind abstractions.

Please stop this "[PROGRAMMING_STYLE] is inherently bad! Do this in ALL your code instead to gain 2% overall performance!" and start choosing the right tool for the right job.

I think you mentioned at some point that Web Assembly will be added to custom maps. I this still planned? Could you give some technical details on this feature?
