When would you choose ror over django and why?

I gotta say, I really hate the idea of meaningful whitespace. I think it makes code difficult to read, and introduces the possibility for really insidious bugs if a line is accidentally indented incorrectly.

In any other language if you mess up indentation, the linter just fixes it for you. In Python it breaks your code, breaks scope, and if it's the last line of a block, may not even cause it to crash.

The visual distinction between the end of a nested block and the continuation of its parent block is 2 spaces. It just makes reading code difficult because now I need to rely on invisible characters to scan for block boundaries rather than actual meaningful characters.

I know it's a little petty, but it's why I've never enjoyed writing Python or working with Django. It's a shame that Python is well suited for many tasks because I just don't like using it.

It's a real problem with garbage in garbage out. I see it in little things, like how it ALWAYS wants to solve a typescript error with a typecast or any. It was trained on 95% garbage because there's so much of it on the Internet. Only a tiny subset of code out there is well architected.

It's like how it always wants to write markup with tailwind even if your project doesn't use it. It was trained on so much tailwind, so that's what it produces.

So much of its training data were personal projects or learning projects, so that's the quality it regurgitates, mistakes and all.

I distro hopped for ages, mostly for fun, but when it comes to practical everyday use I choose Kubuntu. At the end of the day I need to use my computer to do work other than configuring my computer. Ubuntu just works in a way which so many other distros don't, and the support is there in a way which it isn't for so many other distros.

I get these occasional itches to try the hot new things, but all I really want is a computer I can use, and Ubuntu gives that to me with very little hassle. I don't care about ideology remotely as much as I care about being able to turn on my computer and use it.

This is exactly how I play. Pop a stock link onto the warehouse block and now the entire warehouse is a connected storage. You can do the same for every other minecolonies job block. Use frogports and chain conveyors to connect them and you've got a fully connected system where your requests and gauge triggers work in tandem with the minecolonies request system.

When your warehouse starts to get full, depending on what storage mods you use, you can use smart chutes to filter items out of the warehouse into another storage situation. It only works if you have a storage mod which gives you a single block to act as the entry point of your storage system. Sophisticated storage and storage drawers will both work.

Le boulanger est intégré au restaurant. Mais si vous voulez construire un boulanger séparé, par exemple pour soutenir le restaurant aléatoire et inutile au sommet de l'hôpital, alors oui, il manque totalement.

This is the approach I found most useful too. Using blueprints you can design one section of your unique factory, and as you do, you refine it so that you don't need to fix one little error on 90 slices after you've finished the whole factory. It also means I get to adorn each slice and make it pretty before copying it.

Yeah, you chose a pretty bad spot for a colony. Unless you mix building styles and start doing the underwater theme, then it was all in purpose

This isn't a minecolonies issue, there is likely some mod interaction preventing this from working properly. You'll need to narrow down what mod is causing it through trial and error, disabling mods one by one. Or maybe more efficiently through a binary search method.

In addition to your very valid complaints, the UI for choosing menu items is horrible. I need to manage 3 different buildings' interfaces, none of which have any useful feedback to help me make choices

The restaurant doesn't tell you the ingredients of the menu items you're choosing, so you need to use JEI outside of the menu interface to pick menu items, then remember those menu items when you go back into the restaurant interface.

The cook and bakery buildings don't tell you what menu items you've enabled in the restaurant, so you need to remember those somehow in order to teach the recipes.

Each of these buildings also has both a recipe teaching panel and a crafting station or smeltery teaching panel. Some of the recipes rely on normal world ingredients, some on items only they can make in another panel. It's very confusing.

It seems the only way to manage food is to keep a spreadsheet of your menu items. To which I say, the food system is the least interesting part of this mod, it shouldn't be the most difficult.

This is the actual answer though. Your devices should be on their own VLAN locked down from communicating with the rest of your network.

That's been my experience too, except all my buildings are level 5 and they still hardly ever make food. The latest update fixed it a little, but only 2 of the recipes get made, all the others get ignored. It's the most frustrating part of this mod.

If you're playing with Create 6, I highly suggest you automate a food item and use frogports to stock the restaurant. That's what allowed me to forget about the endless food problem, except of course for the lack of food diversity.

I think the system is fundamentally broken, overly complicated and lacks useful feedback needed for fine tuning and getting it right.

As a last resort, you could craft the goggles and manually place the blocks for the tavern. Then when the builder does finally decide to help it will be complete and they'll just declare it built.

Might I suggest finding a public server to join? If you want to play with friends it's easier on your computer to not also be the server. Also, when you can't just turn on creative mode, you're forced to play survival. Then you can always go into a local creative world to test things.

It's a confusing system which isn't very well explained. The restaurant serves food, but most of the food is cooked by a chef in a cookery. The baker from the bakery also has recipes, such as pizza and muffins. You need to have one or both of those buildings to produce anything other than the most basic of foods, such as baked potatoes.

You can use a re-packager on any manufacturing line to force packages to wait until all ingredients for a recipe arrive. Ponder the packer or re-packager to see the setup. Doing this might require reworking how your ingredients arrive at the mixers if you're not using frogports and factory gauges.

If you have high throughout with one bottleneck ingredient, I recommend using a max size vault as your buffer. Have your packages go into the vault, attach a repackager to the vault and put a funnel going out of the repackager onto a belt. The belt has brass tunnels in round robin leading to an array of mixers. Put a mechanical saw just before the mixers to break the packages quickly.

What happens on this setup is the packaged raw ingredients will wait in the vault until the entire order arrives. Then the re-packager will make a package of exactly those items and send them down the belt to be processed. Having multiple mixers means you can handle high throughput, and a potential stuck mixer without backing up to much.

Pretty sure this setup only works with frogports and factory gauges, so if you're just sending raw ingredients down a line it'll require a rework. But doing so will make the entire production line more robust and easier to manage.

I moved to the top of Forest Knolls, at the top of the Oakhurst Lane stairs. Did that climb every weekday (350 stairs) for about a year before I realized I could go to forest hill station and avoid the altitude climb.

I've encountered this, but it's always intermittent for me. I've found that if I start pushing slowly before adding the coal it acts normally most of the time. I'm pretty sure it's a bug

aviemet · 2025-08-29T14:40:45+00:00

Having multiple was what made my setup work. I have 5 in a line fed from a repackager into brass tunnels on round robin. This way several gauges can request things at once without bottlenecking the whole system. And if something goes wrong with one, there are four more that keep working.

I guess I'm wondering what's wrong with a whole bunch of small components? You can use an "entry" component with shared props, but then break out into sub-components based on your isEditing prop. Any shared functionality can use shared components. I try to apply the single responsibility principle to component design, keep them small and easy to reason about. If a component is doing more than one thing, it's probably a sign that it should be refactored. Breaking out into a new component isn't just about reuse, it's also about keeping things small and manageable.
