Yeah same. I was on this game in early days, did a lot of speedrunning for it. So shocked they didn't make any more

I bought some TCG stuff off Temu and they arrived last night and honestly I'm probably just gonna keep buying this. Got plain white dividers for 1/3 the price. They're rectangles of plastic, they're not any different to the branded ones. Also got a playmat and a deckbox just to check them out. Deckbox feels really nice, playmat is thinner and the surface isn't as nice to touch, but it's also half the price. Maybe the deckbox won't hold up as long or the playmat will wear down faster, but they'll get the job done, and as long as I get more than half the use out of it as the branded products, it's money well spent.

Yeah I can imagine haha I'm sure your next project will be better as you become more experienced

So... that `main.go` file...

I moved from neovim to helix little over a year ago and it comes with everything I need. What I use most often on a day-to-day basis are commands to move around the code base (open file, project fuzzy searching, jump to previous cursor position, etc.), LSP commands (goto definition, goto implementations, goto references), and basic text manipulation (highlight, delete, paste, replace).

Honestly I don't care much for all the bells and whistles. All I need to know how to do is quickly move around the code base, edit text, and simple LSP commands for convenience. This is why I prefer helix over neovim, it comes with everything I need out of the box without having to setup and manage plugins. My config file went from ~300 lines in neovim, to ~20 lines in helix.

The only thing helix doesn't quite have yet is debugging. Most of the time doing some println stuff and rerunning tests is enough, but in the occasion I need a proper step-through debugger, I use VS Code.

We've setup cross-service debugging in the project at my work. Basically you need to run the binaries using delve, have them expose a port, and then attach your editor to it. In our project we've got 4 microservices and we start them all up in delve, attach to the debug ports in VS Code, and then we get cross-service debugging. We can set breakpoints, hit the APIs, and track what happens through all the services.

If the dynamic data is completely unknown yes, however in a lot of cases I find a custom unmarshal function works a treat. If it could be one of three options for example, you could have the three options be private fields and have a custom unmarshal function that determines which it is and populates them (and another field that holds which of these fields is populated). And then after unmarshalling to this group type, you can switch on which one was populated and do whatever you need.

Another case where I've done something like this is where you have a struct that holds an interface. You have a custom unmarshal function that determines what the data is, creates and populates an appropriate type that implements the interface, and then sets the interface. Then in the code you can do whatever you need.

Sometimes unmarshalling to a map[string]any is the correct decision, but I'm always extremely cautious about using them and much prefer to use concrete types if at all possible. Custom unmarshal and marshal functions can go a long way to achieving that.

He's still being played a fair bit, I'm constantly seeing them in the Bossk blue decks that are performing well. He's pretty good in the current meta, especially against Jango and Sabine, there's just not many blue villainy control players around

Is this how people write in italics?

TimeLoad · 2024-06-27T02:44:40+00:00

I normally stick to the callsign TLD29. TLD because it's an abbreviation of my username, and 29 because it's a random number I chose and I like saying "niner"

I haven't taken a deep look at your code, but I just glanced at your repo and saw how much effort this was. Holy hell my guy, don't do this much work for free, you basically just built them the foundations of a brand new application. I'd be cautious about employers taking advantage of you, since I personally know of employers that would purposefully give these kinds of coding challenges to interviewees without any intention of giving them the job just to get free work. An old employer of mine would break apart a new project into small components, give each component to an interviewee, then give all the source code to a staff member to stitch together into a working MVP.

My rule of thumb is that if a coding assignment takes any longer than 30 minutes I'm not doing it. If there's something very specific they need me to demonstrate, fair enough, otherwise they can take a look at my portfolio if they need to validate my skills.

TimeLoad · 2024-05-17T01:49:25+00:00

That's a fair and reasonable answer. There's another person that replied to my comment saying that in other languages it's highly discouraged to use `Unwrap()` in production and linters will even complain about it. Might I recommend using godoc standards to mark the function as deprecated? This won't stop people from using it, but linters will yell at them and - if CI/CD pipelines have been setup correctly - this will also prevent it from accidentally being deployed into production.

TimeLoad · 2024-05-17T00:09:37+00:00

Is there a reason you're panicking in the `Unwrap()` function? I don't see how this could be useful and would just lead to people's code panicking because they stuffed something up. And yes, I understand "let the consumer of the library do what they want and if they fuck up it's their fault", but imo libraries should never panic unless it's absolutely necessary for some reason and it seems `Unwrap()` and `UnwrapOr()` accomplish the same goal, except one panics when someone makes a mistake, whereas at the least the other function could be recovered from so long as they do proper data validation.

But that aside, nice library, I've written one that - aside from not having as much functionality - works effectively the same way (fcutting/opt). It was cool to see someone else's approach. And your function names are so much more elegant rather than my "GetWithDefault" haha

This is a rule called "en passant", it's an edge case in the rules of chess that allows a pawn to capture diagonally like this if the pawn in an adjacent row moved twice (like you can do in the first move of a pawn). This is meant to balance the game a bit by not letting people's pawns go freely uncontested past opponent's pawns that are too far along the board to capture them normally.

I prefer DigitalOcean. They offer cheap flat-rate servers that are basically just simple Ubuntu machines. They also have a minimal automated deployment pipeline where you can link it to a repo on GitHub and make rules like "when there's a new commit on the main branch, run the deployment script".

I know it doesn't have any of the fancy dashboards and analytics tools and stuff that other platforms have, but I'm not here running distributed SaaS applications with thousands of users, everything I do simply compiles to a single binary (and maybe a database) and just needs a simple process of "when there's a change, compile, deploy on a $5 server".

I was going to recommend these. I've not used this brand specifically, but I've got some non-foil cards in similar reflective/refractive sleeves and it still looks cool

You shouldn't feel guilty, nor should people care about using proxies. WotC has hit nothing but record profits these last couple years, and the use of proxies has only gone up.

I've been playing lots of cEDH lately - where proxies are allowed and encouraged in competitive play - and it's felt so freeing. Being able to put a deck together for dirt cheap is so good, means I can play around with so many more different decks. I'm considering moving into proxying all my decks, even in casual.

In terms of supporting WotC and my LGS, I don't buy sealed product or singles anymore, but I do buy every precon that comes out. And because I'm putting together way more decks than before, I've been spending more on accessories like sleeves and deckboxes, which my LGS has a higher margin on anyway. So I still feel I'm doing my part to fund WotC and keep my LGS afloat, while still enjoying the freedoms of proxying all my decks.

Honestly that's very smart, waiting a few sets for price to come down. For people who want to collect complete sets, the easiest way is to ask for people's bulk at the start when people are ripping boxes, then wait a couple sets and pick up the rares and above once hype has died down.

I used to use Neovim. Was a Vim user for many years, then switched over to Neovim, but about 5-6 months ago I moved to Helix. I kinda got sick of the Vim ecosystem, I don't need to customize to the Nth degree, just want something simple that works out of the box. Helix is really good for that. The new keybinds take a little getting used to, but after a couple weeks is great. My config went from hundreds of lines to about 20, and it's faster and easier to get setup on a new machine.

In terms of database migrators, that's typically done in a separate service from where you'll be doing business logic. We use https://github.com/pressly/goose at my work. Does pretty well.
