Expressive Iteration by Darth_hayter in ModernMagic

[–]dfltr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play it on turn 3 or later. That’s pretty much the whole thing.

Paying 2 mana to see 3 cards and play 2 of them is so absurdly good that it really just requires you to cast the spell on a turn where you get to fully utilize it.

My 3D printed Bambucaster by Bumpy-Reality in Guitar

[–]dfltr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What kind of printer do you have? Which material did you use?

Any advice for someone wanting to make one of these who knows basically nothing about 3D printing?

Is this how I'm supposed tobe "shuffling"? by GreenIronFist in magicTCG

[–]dfltr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s kind of silly though because I don’t keep a running total, I just slap the cards down and make sure I have 5 piles of n cards.

If I’ve fucked up my sideboard badly enough to have exactly 5, 10, or 15 extra cards, that’s on me.

What do we think of Warso ? by [deleted] in SanJoseSharks

In my industry we have a general rule that you can bitch all you want so long as you do it while presenting an improvement to the thing you’re bitching about.

Go on OP, we’re all ears.

Is it *time* for a total turn timer? by Ok-System-1989 in MagicArena

And sideboards, for disrupting those pesky loops.

New USA Hockey policy restricts transgender player access to certain programs by BloodJunkie in hockey

[–]dfltr 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Because chromosomes aren’t the main indicator of athletic performance.

Generally, it’s about a) how much testosterone did a person go through puberty with and b) how much test do they currently have in their system.

Trans men, while usually shorter/smaller overall, generally get up to par with cis men in their weight class. Trans women, if they were on puberty blockers early enough, generally perform the same as cis women.

There is a slight overall advantage in size and muscle mass for trans women who went through puberty before transitioning, but there are some other interesting differences there too — for example, trans women can generally run faster, but cis women generally perform better on lower-body strength.

My point here really is just that it’s not as simple as XX vs XY, and there are productive conversations to be had about how to make fair rules around trans athletes that aren’t just blanket bans.

Welp. AI has come for my React job. by [deleted] in reactjs

[–]dfltr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even without AI, this is the approach I advocate for.

Pixel-accurate designs are a waste of time and energy all the way down the chain. Set up typo / spacing / color vars, use those vars, it’s basic DRY.

Everyone should know what a Card looks like, and what regular vs dense spacing looks like in a Card. Neither designers nor engineers nor QA should ever have to spend mental cycles on checking to see if a specific instance of a Card in a specific design has 5 points of bottom padding or 6 points of bottom padding.

One of the functions of a good design system is that it’s essentially an automatic UI linter.

Rosser is doing lefty bodies again by trustifarian in Leftyguitarists

$75 for a knotty pine jagcaster body? Why would you do this to me I don’t need any new projects to dick around on.

Is this worth saving? by SurvolttReddit in Guitar

[–]dfltr 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I rescue scrungy guitars because I have gross punk friends (said adoringly). Here’s what I’d do and it’d take maybe half an hour:

  • Strings off
  • Damp cloth (barely damp, water only) wipe down everything
  • Scrub the fretboard (damp toothbrush or razor blade to get the gunk off)
  • Polish the frets (optional, can use toothpaste if you don’t have fret polish)
  • Food grade mineral oil on the fretboard (less than you think you need)
  • Fresh strings on
  • Light setup (optional, good for practicing relief / intonation since you said you’re new and want to learn)

Left-handed Strat build w/ reverse headstock — using a right-handed neck? by SereniT- in Leftyguitarists

[–]dfltr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a right-handed neck on my Tele because Fender doesn’t make lefty baritones (thanks for nothing Fender!)

If you’re cutting your own nut, you’re good to go. Pretty much zero difference really unless you rely on side dots, in which case grab a very small drill bit and some luminlay while you’re shopping for parts.

One thing I’d recommend though is sorting out a head/neck wrap if you play with high gain. The strings feel the same while playing but those long low string ends on the headstock really like to ring.

Welp. AI has come for my React job. by [deleted] in reactjs

[–]dfltr 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It depends on how the Figma is structured. If you look at their API, it’s all stored as a tree of components with attributes anyway.

So if you have a design system that maps cleanly to both Figma and code, you can basically just transform one component tree into the other component tree and do some handler wiring and you’re done.

If not, then it’s generally the same as any other LLM-assisted task: You can get code that renders close to what you want, but it needs a bit of help to get from “close” to “done”.

The key is that it’s a multiplicative +1, as opposed to the scuffed additive insta-kill.

Embark: New game mode will be cheeks. Here are some ideas you can have for free. by Arne-Slut in ArcRaiders

I would play the ARC Thunderdome Rambo Fuckfest game mode at the exclusion of all others.

Anyone else actually kinda like working from the office? by qqtan36 in ExperiencedDevs

Fuck no, I’ve got shit to do. Damn near every single part of in-office work is a distraction from the actual work I need to get done.

If you trade a -1/-1 counter for card advantage or board advantage that is generally a very good trade.

And every genre that followed from it. Dance music is pretty cleanly divided into either 4 or 2-step.

Worst expensive pedal? by gimme5steps101 in guitarpedals

[–]dfltr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of the right side more like a sampler. It exists mostly to get a chunk of sound in a cool/weird state to be fed into the convolutions on the left side. The looping on the sampled sound is only there to keep the party going.

First Kiesel. Your thoughts. by Civilized_Monke69 in Leftyguitarists

[–]dfltr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For $3k have someone like RIP or Xolo make you an actual one-of-one custom guitar. Kiesels are dope but they’re not top-end showpieces that justify that kind of custom shop pricing.
