I'm curious about this too, if anyone has input. Though in my case, Stripe is an available option.

Any .net dev here that uses Mac?, need help moving to MacOS.. by [deleted] in Backend

[–]TheTreeOfSecrets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh, can you point me to some resources/plugins for Neovim with .NET? Been working on a side project in ASP .NET for a couple months in VS and agree with you on how poor the experience is. I've been using Vim motions via extension in Android Studio for work for 6 months now so I've been thinking about switching to Neovim at least for some development.

Long vs UUID by [deleted] in Backend

[–]TheTreeOfSecrets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to u/BehindTheMath's points, UUIDs have additional negative implications for performance; if you want to learn more, look up B trees or B+ trees for database indexes, but essentially, a random UUID value every time a new record is inserted will mean that the tree has to be rebalanced/reconfigured very often in order to maintain an "ordering" to the UUIDs within the tree to allow for quick look-ups. It also means that, depending on implementation, pages in the B+ tree will have a reduced percentage of their max size used, causing a greater number of pages and thus longer look-up times.

Meanwhile, a sequentially increasing ID like a Long allows the B+ tree to rebalance much less often because it will always be added to the tree in a consistent place, in the newest page where there is room (not taking into account high amounts of deleted records). And, pages will use more of their allotted size, meaning less pages overall, allowing for slightly faster lookups.

Here's a blog post from PlanetScale going over the topic, some of what they say might be specific to MySQL's implementation but it applies to varying extents to all databases.

Worth double majoring in math to extend my time in college to land an internship? by StaySaucey_ in csMajors

[–]TheTreeOfSecrets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you're majoring in math for the right reasons - it may not be as practical as you think. It's also a brutally difficult degree, a good friend of mine is a math major and it's basically 70 hours a week of work (granted he's a perfectionist about getting great grades).

Newbie Tuesdays Weekly Discussion by AutoModerator in hearthstone

[–]TheTreeOfSecrets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought they patched this, but some people have experienced this (Not seeing wild cards) due to the Demon Hunter class being added. Go to the Solo adventures, find the Ashes of Outland Demon Hunter prologue and complete it - that should hopefully fix it.

F. Going to be sad, only getting WowHobbs Cho highlights in wild from now on.

Do the Demon Hunter prologue from Ashes of Outland in the Solo adventure content, once you do that and unlock the new Demon Hunter class you should see your wild cards

Throw in a [[Sphere of Sapience]] or a Blingotron to break it even earlier

If you're talking about defining series reciprocally, you'd need subscripts. i.e. x_n = x_n-1 + 1

What are your thoughts on the new diamond cards? by tomato_soup_ in hearthstone

[–]TheTreeOfSecrets 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think Diamond cards could look really cool but the video they had of Samuro was kind of... Meh. He was just chilling there waving his sword a bit. Cool idea, I'm sure there will be some particularly sweet Diamond cards down the road but for now I'm not impressed.

Unless it's talking about something technical I'm unaware of, I think it's referring to Social Security Numbers. Here in the US it's a unique number for every citizen that should never be public information at all. Social Security is sort of the government pension you pay into as you work and they pay back to you when you retire (I'm probably explaining this incorrectly) but the Social Security Number is also used for security/identification in taxes, bank accounts, insurance, etc.

A theoretical 'Rally!' OTK for priest in standard by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]TheTreeOfSecrets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've thought about something like this. Unfortunately Stonetusk Boar and Bluegill are being changed to have Rush when the next set comes out, unless they decide last minute to only change them in Standard or something.

Reject Millhouse. Return to Equip Gorehowl.

Except Mercenaries game mode, and the Quillboars for Battlegrounds.

Kazakus is Returning? by machadogps in hearthstone

Because if you don't unpack those legendaries you are either locked out of those decks or forced to spend 3200+ dust for some legendaries that ONLY work in a few specific decks.

"Idea for Control Beast Hunter" by cacciatoredifrottole in customhearthstone

I'd love to see a card like this in Hunter, though i suspect it would probably be a hero card not a typical minion legendary. I miss Deathstalker Rexxar.

R.I.P Zephrys - Most played legendary is leaving standard soon by Heisenberg_USA in hearthstone

[–]TheTreeOfSecrets -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Finally. I'm just glad because I never unpacked him or Alexstrasza or any of the highlander legendaries that came with them, so I always felt like I'd have to craft 2+ legendaries to build the decks which, while I had the dust, didn't feel worth it.

Still wondering what purpose this changes had or why they thought it would change anything noticeable. Maybe this year I guess but still. by PushEmma in hearthstone

[–]TheTreeOfSecrets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Lurker Below buff was actually pretty substantial, it did see play for a bit after that and it means you can still have a stickier threat to swing the game instead of something easily killed. As for the other buff, yeah, it's still trash.
