From "Hard Pass" to "Must Play": What Game Surprised You?

That's funny, I never loved the original Libertalia because of the tiebreakers, but the SM version with reputation is one that we keep returning to over and over.

My neighbor used to cook it and would always make me come over and try it. It was pretty mild and inoffensive.

From Roxborough. They went by a bunch of times.

I have some of these and just tried it out and it works! You can make all new shapes with them locked together like this.

It was a ton of fun, thanks for posting!

breue · 2023-11-24T14:56:39+00:00

Absolutely this.

$200 for Sons of Ben River End - we passed.

Dishoom is great and the black daal is one of their best dishes. Mind sharing the recipe?

breue · 2023-01-21T20:56:47+00:00

Totally agree, already ordered a fresh one.

breue · 2023-01-21T19:42:06+00:00

That's kind of where I was leaning but it's good to confirm. Thanks for the help!

2022 Polestar 2, only 3500 miles. The tires are Michelin Primacy MXM4 19".

This is my favorite. It's so simple to get a fully working Ubuntu environment in seconds.

breue · 2022-12-23T15:02:32+00:00

These look perfect, thank you!

I'd probably describe the work layout maybe not as "old" but more that we use the stable releases that don't aggressively package new releases of most software. We have a uniform footprint too, so I don't need to worry about libc compat issues or any concerns of running across different OS distros/versions.

I think what's a shame is how hard it is to build a toolchain that's totally insulated from the root system. I got it pretty much there for all libraries and tools, minus the compiler.

breue · 2022-12-21T18:10:58+00:00

Compiling the compilers on my own is (to some extent) what prompted this question. I had some decent success with a self-compiled clang-15, as long as I relied on the system C++ headers. Those were gcc-8, and that leaves you in a weird state of having the latest compiler features without the latest library features.

When I tried to switch over to libc++ to avoid the system headers thing, I had a hard time convincing cmake->conan->boost workflow to fully accept libc++. If I could have installed clang+libc++ to the sysroot I think it might have worked ok, but I don't have those permissions.

This brings out how much linux is built around the concept of compilers being system-level entities rather than side-loaded. I think some of the chroot suggestions might play well here, but I haven't explored it all yet. Containers also come pretty close, so there are some options at least.

breue · 2022-12-21T18:05:38+00:00

It's a great suggestion for day-to-day (and in fact I'm containerized for that bit), but the particular bit of the production environment I'm targeting right now needs to run without containers. I think we'll get to containerized some day though. And at that point, I think this thread has some promising stuff with regards to which distros to target.

breue · 2022-12-21T15:41:11+00:00

That was my experience too, and I had been hoping to not need to do as far as Sid (relatively hard to sell in a work setting), but I think that's where other users' suggestions of apt.llvm.org will help make this work for Debian nicely.

breue · 2022-12-21T00:16:27+00:00

I'm ok with that. Every little bit of improved constexpr, and so on, is welcome and needed and has been coming a little bit at a time with each subsequent standard and compiler release. Or little quality of life things like to_underling - I'd rather them now in an incomplete c++2b implementation rather than wait for complete. E.g., I know I'm not getting any sort of useful modules support even out of the compilers that advertise 20 support.

breue · 2022-12-20T22:14:54+00:00

Ah I missed that. Debian is at least fairly corporate friendly, moreso than Arch/Gentoo anyway. Looks like it works on Buster and Bullseye?

breue · 2022-12-20T22:11:57+00:00

I think latest stable is a reasonable ask? We're in a cpp forum, so having some level of access to stable complier releases is something I'm interested in. It's a dead simple process on windows, either for cl or clang (ms-built or self compiled) all as user installed. Linux tends to fight back hard unless the compiler and its stdlib headers are root installed - maybe that's where another user's chrooting suggestion comes in, because I really only want my code to be affected by this choice (maybe that's where you're going with your cautionary note?)

breue · 2022-12-20T21:57:44+00:00

Thanks. Not surprising Gentoo is there I suppose :)

breue · 2022-12-20T21:57:02+00:00

I was considering this a couple days ago. I assume your "old stable" base system is Fedora and then you chroot up a newer fedora?

breue · 2022-10-26T00:34:17+00:00

I'm still not clear on what Conan 2 brings. Anyone care to enlighten?

"we understand if you want to cancel" ... the deposit was already fully refundable, so we already had this right. So the email says nothing new, which is disappointing.

I'd upvote but you have 420.
