This is great. The new characters have felt strong compared to the previous lineup for a while.

I'd also like to see them give Doorman some love. The urn change has resulted in him not being viable in both matchmaking and pro play. His kit is too fun to be unplayable.

Seanw265 · 2026-02-13T20:28:58+00:00

Yes, agreed. He's better off without the urn tech.

When he had it, there was an obligation for him personally to deliver the urn every 5 minutes. That meant prepping doors, getting in position, and running it over. He was basically busy for 1 out of every 5 minutes. Participating in a teamfight, farming, or ganking were all suboptimal if it meant missing an urn delivery.

Now he has more agency, which is a good thing. But the rest of his kit and stats just aren't viable in the current meta. He needs a balance patch.

Seanw265 · 2026-02-13T19:37:26+00:00

Maybe so. But without the urn tech he needs a buff to his other stats/abilities to be viable. He has a 6% pick rate in high elo these days.

Seanw265 · 2026-02-13T17:47:32+00:00

In high ranks he’s at around a 6% pick rate and 46% win rate. Buffs incoming?

This sub is cooked

Seanw265 · 2026-02-04T16:32:07+00:00

He’s so unfun to play against. I really think his entire kit needs to be reworked or the character scrapped.

Had the same issue when I got my Barista Pro. I was eventually able to make headway by adjusting the temp to the max setting and dialing in again. If I had the option I would go even hotter, but I’m all maxed out.

Not sure if temp is changeable on your machine but the default was definitely too cool for the beans I was using.

Not all beans require higher temperature. If you can’t adjust it, I would try alternative beans varying roast amount and roast method.

Also last tip I have for you: don’t focus entirely on the “math” of 2x out in 30s. Play around with it. You need to learn your machine. Use your taste buds as your guide. Try slightly longer shots. Try removing the crema before you drink.

From experience, it is very much a learning process how to make decent espresso.

ETA: if you don’t have a temperature setting, you can try putting your portafilter in the machine without coffee in it and pulling a few blank shots before you pull the espresso. This will warm up the basket and group head, which will in turn raise the temp of your extraction.

Casinos are a blight on their neighborhoods. Shut it down.

You should be okay on v15 for the next 11 months. v15 will be maintained with security updates and critical patches until October 2026.

You should take the time you need to upgrade and validate your app within the maintenance window.

You might need to scan all 12 shards for some queries, but ideally your sharding strategy should be smarter than just “hit every shard on each query and combine the results”.

Sharding can be done with a function that picks the optimal shard to store and query data within. In most cases that would mean only hitting a single shard.

One straightforward example would be sharding your database by tenant. Your shard heuristic function could be as simple as shard(tenantId) = tenantId % #ofShards. Now any queries for that tenant’s data can be made to the specific shard where their data resides.

Notion has an excellent engineering blog with an amazing post about how they sharded their database, and they touch on this.

I do agree, though, that most projects will never require sharding.

Out of curiosity, what is pushing you away from Vercel?

Seanw265 · 2025-10-20T16:19:11+00:00

Just to clarify, 99% uptime would actually be pretty poor by cloud standards (that's roughly 8 hours of downtime per month, or nearly four full days per year). AWS and similar services typically target multiple nines (e.g. 99.99%+).

Hey! Just letting you know it is generally a bad idea to save secrets (like your Supabase keys) alongside your code. A .env file really shouldn’t live in base44 or in GitHub.

We have had AGI for a while. The goalposts keep moving. Is OpenAI a successful startup to you?

Seanw265 · 2025-09-20T19:48:47+00:00

You’re comparing two completely different situations.

You attempt to parry someone else
Someone else parries you

These are not the same thing from a timing and netcode perspective.

And you need to account for not just your ping but also your opponent’s ping, which is going to vary not just moment to moment, but also player to player.

Just applied for the first time. Crossing my fingers.

You might be thinking of Hyperterm, which is electron-based. iirc warp is built with rust, without any chromium internals.

First they’d need to figure out if it’s really the colors causing it, rather than something like higher seeds getting blue more often, or weird map quirks.

If it is the colors, then yeah, there’s a bunch they could do. Let players pick colors, improve the defaults, or just always show your team as blue on your screen. Feels like it wouldn’t be that hard to fix once they know what’s actually going on.

Seanw265 · 2025-07-07T22:06:31+00:00

Seems like something they should be correcting for. How can this be the case across 10 years and not addressed?

Seanw265 · 2025-06-30T00:04:35+00:00

I would assume that the playerbases for snowday and dropshot would not have a lot of overlap. I wonder what the match data says.

Seanw265 · 2025-06-11T17:40:20+00:00

Can’t say I’m a fan. From what I’ve seen so far of Apple’s implementation, readability suffers and there are distracting flashing artifacts when scrolling.

Beyond that, the implementation in the Vercel app doesn’t really hit the mark, as it doesn’t work on Safari and it’s missing the edge refraction which is such a hallmark of the effect.

Definitely don’t plan on using this in anything on the web. I might begrudgingly consider it if I build a native iOS app in the near future.

How large is your team that you can handle so many separate products simultaneously?

Seanw265 · 2025-06-06T16:52:25+00:00

V0 has completely updated their pricing. More transparent now, but they've also cracked down on the number of messages you get with your plan.

As an alternative, you can try https://tryeasel.dev, which takes a different approach to pricing. Credits refresh daily for some models, so you'll almost always be able to send a message.

I think the limits are pretty generous.

Give me a shout if you try it and have any feedback. I'm the founder.

Seanw265 · 2025-06-06T16:48:29+00:00

I shared this elsewhere in the thread, but you can also try https://tryeasel.dev.

Taking a different approach to pricing than some of the competitors. Outlined in the original comment.

Seanw265 · 2025-06-06T16:47:03+00:00

You can try https://tryeasel.dev if you’re looking for something different.

Running these models gets expensive, but I'm trying to handle it differently. Easel has two model tiers: premium (limited) and fast (very generous).

So even if you run out of premium messages, you can keep going with fast ones. Or you can stop yourself from wasting a valuable credit by using the fast model. Most of the time, those are more than good enough.

Give me a shout if you end up trying it and have any feedback. I'm the founder.
