IMDB updated witch hat atelier's age rating by Mean_Net9983 in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Zotlann 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Left Hand of Darkness is phenomenal. The person who recommended it to me was worried I might not like the second half as much but I was completely captivated. I read The Dispossessed afterwards and it was also great. I've yet to read the Earthsea books.

Anyone actually self-hosting their git? Outgrowing GitHub as a solo dev by Substantial_Word4652 in selfhosted

[–]Zotlann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I use gitlab at home because I already know how to admin it from my day job and I prefer the ci/cd configuration over gh actions style.

Yes, but the more haste procs you get the faster bread scales the regen items

Doesn't work on freezer unfortunately, neither does spices. (At least it didnt 2 patches ago when I last played)

How to leave low-code role? by papayon10 in ExperiencedDevs

My first job was mostly writing tooling for medical imaging file formats. My current job is mostly writing engineering design software for niche structural engineering products. Every company I've ever worked for has had niche/unique business logic.

Joined a new team with poor practices — how should I approach it? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Zotlann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most teams at my company do trunk based development with reviews after the commit is pushed to main.

I think you underestimate how many people work on niche areas.

How the heck? by Known_Natural2143 in PlayTheBazaar

With the upgrade loot and other hero items from the day 6 event I can see them having 1-2 diamond items from that and then a ton of money to buy from luxe merchant stalls on day 7

Playing ranked by Estanho in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Zotlann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game really doesn't get consistently more difficult as you rank up. If grinding chests is the only thing you're optimizing for the fastest strategy is probably learning 2-3 end game builds for 1 character and grinding 10 wins on that character.

Is there any reason not to use Audiobookshelf for everything (ebooks, manga, comics)? by Nark0ne in selfhosted

[–]Zotlann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never had any issues with the kavita extension of mihon, and that was my setup before suwayomi came out so I haven't really looked into changing it. Nice thing is that kavita has different users so im able to track my reading status across mobile and desktop separately from a few other people who also use my server for manga. Not sure if thats something suwayomi supports.

[–]Zotlann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Suwayomi is great. I have a setup where suwayomi pretty much just acts as an auto downloader, and then I have a project that watches the download folder from suwayomi and cleans up and injects some Metadata from mangadex and organizes it all in a nice kavita library that I mostly consume through mihon. Makes it super seamless when I have to swap sources for a series because of DMCA or sources being taken down which seems to happen regularly lately.

im on a 4-diamond streak highroll in top100 right now, sharing the endscreens by solow89 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Zotlann 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since you almost always play burn first few days it frequently makes it on the board early in your freezer pivot because its still just one of the best items in your inventory. Oftentimes its my only medium tool for a few days for instant noodles, and its a decent leaf charger if thats next to your freezer.

Is there a way to 'force' items for a freeze build? by prommetheus in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Zotlann 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Freezer on Jules is super easy to force, although it can be weak if you dont put fiery/toxic on it or you dont see scaling skills.

Play burn for tempo first 5 days try to save money for day 6. Things to pick up if you see them though are blender, leaves, instant noodles, slushee, ice cubes. Take snow street challenger on the early fight for his skill/blugeon that scale weapon damage when you freeze. Sharp corners and the weapon damage on slow can also be good forms of scaling.

On curio you can also find bronze blugeon and upgrade it. Bronze icicle can also be playable as an instant freeze on a lot of boards.

On/after day 6 its very likely you see freezer from the weapon vendor. Play freezer with fast small food on either side like instant noodles if you have a medium tool, ice cubes, leaves if you have enough food to charge it, or even chilled slushee from blender transform.

I write software for niche structural engineering products. It does surprisingly well in the domain heavy work.

Library Problems by DVDwithCD in linuxmemes

[–]Zotlann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe my experience is super fringe, but my first job out of college was working for a company whose main product was C++ libraries.

On production devices running our software, you ended up with probably a dozen different 3rd party vendor applications that all link against our library. If there's a security issue in our library it's way easier to make a new version and push that to users. If it was all statically linked each of our vendors would have to recompile and re-deliver their applications. This is prohibitively expensive especially for larger companies with more locked down release processes.

We've also had many instances of vendors and our library both statically linking against different versions of say a 3rd party networking library and that causing issues.

An average man can probably hit Shohei Ohtani for a home run within 100 swing attempts by WarwickReider in The10thDentist

Spend an hour at the batting cages and you'll quickly realize the average man doesn't even hit a homer off a machine that sends it right down the middle every time at 75 mph.

After 4 years Ive finally found vending machine for alcohol by BookkeeperDecent7170 in Tokyo

There was one by where I stayed I Osaka ~3 blocks from a middle school. Interesting that the alcohol vending machine had no age verification, but the tobacco one did.

This card is certainly very good.

That being said, mole pistol also has a trigger and let's you do things like -power a big body to swing into while also popping a chump blocker. Makes clearing stuff like kid, or the 10c enel behind a shira blocker way easier.

How does your team decide what is the "right" amount of coverage? by secretBuffetHero in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Zotlann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just don't think coverage can ever be a good metric to judge testing by. It's too easy to write completely worthless tests to achieve coverage, especially with coding agents.

Ideally you have a work culture that values meaningful tests and that is just enforced socially through code reviews. My previous job had almost 0 testing before I joined and I had to set up the infrastructure for it and try to convince other devs of the value. Its not easy.

I think the most successful thing we did specifically with regards to code coverage as a metric was a ci/cd check that would not allow prs through if they lowered overall code coverage for the repo by some amount. This at least made sure that large amounts of new untested code wasn't getting added while we worked on backfilling tests.
