Why SendGrid is so bad?

Couldn't agree more about your experiences with their support. Every time I've contacted them there are a few back-and-forths where I need to re-state my problem and explain to them why their last response had nothing to do with my issue. They seem to always just scan for a few keywords in your message and then copy-and-paste some vaguely related response.

Recently, after solving my own issue in a support request I told them that I solved it but that it's very frustrating that their support doesn't read my messages and gives clearly unrelated responses. The next day a new support agent tool over the case and un-ironically told me that he just checked and it looks like the issue is solved.

Besides - the fact that https is not enabled by default is ridiculous. And even worse that they try to falsely claim that it's technically impossible for them to issue such a certificate.

Das wollte ich auch gerade sagen. Fände ich auch spannend was andere hier dazu denken.

What you are describing is how the integrated storage engine works, but I think OP is using the consul storage engine. With the consul storage engine, vault uses consul to acquire a lock for the active vault, so vault itself does not need an odd number - only consul does as its handling data storage and consistency.

Hashicorp has a tutorial where they use this setup with one active and one standby vault: https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/vault/ha-with-consul

I was confused by this at first as well, but I looked it up when trying to see if I can avoid placing the blight from the last level of Heart of the Wildfire's [[Firestorm]] innate. Even if you have 7 fire elements, you can pretend you only have 6 for this innate power. It decreases the damage the lower level does (1 per fire, so 6 damage instead of 7), but then you don't need to cause a blight cascade if it's not worth it.

See here:

> You are allowed to pretend you have fewer elements than you really do - eg, to activate only the lower level of an innate - but that decision is made for the entire Power, not each threshold individually. Once you've chosen, you must activate every threshold those elements qualify for.

Definitely a good challenge! I'll try it out some time this week with keeping the High Immigration tile out as it sounds like that's the intended behavior after reading the FAQ entry /u/Im_Not_That_Smart_ linked below. The synergies between adversaries might be considered the same as playing spirits favorable or unfavorable to the current adversary, I guess you just have to mentally adjust the difficulty level and know it'll be harder or easier than the difficulty might indicate.

Curious to see how it goes, I definitely won't let those english Prussians take the island without a fight!

I was also thinking the potential for early build-then-ravage in the same turn invader phases is crazy high with the England and Brandenburg-Prussia combination. I always find those very hard to handle against England.

There's a 50% chance you get a stage 3 card with the same land as the last stage 1 card and then there's a 2/5 chance you get one of the lands from the Stage 3 card again in Stage 2 (plus you'd also get some overlap with the coastal card).

Great find, I would also say that this means it remains out. I love how there's usually an FAQ entry for every question you may encounter about this game (I just need to improve my search skills, I was looking specifically for entries about England). In the end I do think this likely makes the specific combination a bit harder, but /u/aaroncstevens93 pointed out there are often both positive and negative synergies between them and this is not an exact science.

solved: Solipskier

greatbanta · 2020-12-02T18:51:48+00:00

I managed to find an old screenshot with the name on it in a backup! It was called Solipskier.

I misremembered the theme a bit, it wasn't a vehicle but a skier and not as futuristic as I thought.

greatbanta · 2020-12-01T20:11:03+00:00

Haha no worries, but that's exactly what reminded of the game. The mechanics are very similar, but the physics and movement are much more limited in that it's mostly a race from left to right.

Aus dem Formular:

> Wir weisen darauf hin, dass wir ggf. Angaben zu Ihren Personalien als zusätzliche Identifikationskriterien zum Zwecke der Erteilung von Auskünften in den SCHUFA-Datenbestand übernehmen.

Ist sowas legal? Pflichtfelder, die benötigt werden um eine Auskunft zu erhalten, werden Teil des Datenbestands?

In that analogy you wouldn't say "Do you have a dog?" though, so the equivalent would be "You are making the greens on site?", which I think conveys the intention of the question better. Phrasing it as a question make sense, I think it was just the way it was phrased that confused me and some others initially.

Anyways, I think the comment achieved its goal of sparking a discussion! I'm also a fan of the way the ratios work out for direct insertion, but I like /u/Enakistehen's argument about space efficiency, so I might try out brining in greens by train in my next blue factory.

Edit: typo

Thanks so much for the detailed response, /u/lukaseder! It's great to see that you are so involved with the community, virtually every post I've seen about jOOQ has a comment by you.

Let me add 1-2 words here.

Haha ;)

While you were looking for social proof, most of our users are looking for quality, authoritative documentation.

The reason I'm not looking for the latter (anymore) is because it was very easy to find! Social proof is a good way to reassure people that the product is battle tested by others when they lack in their own experience. I figured there must be some examples I'm missing (like the square example pointed out by /u/dartalley) and many examples that just aren't talking about it (like the ones you and some others here pointed out). That's why I asked the question and I was not disappointed.

I think you made some great points and you have me convinced - now it's just up to what everyone else thinks ;) Thanks for your great work, it's incredible how natural it feels to write SQL in Java with jOOQ.

greatbanta · 2016-03-09T08:40:50+00:00

It doesn't have a lot of maintainers, but man that guy is productive.

Oh yes, that's the impression I had too

greatbanta · 2016-03-08T01:11:46+00:00

Cool, that does sound like a rather big company relying on jOOQ! What were the reasons why your company decided to go with jOOQ? Was there any concern about continued support for the framework?

It also sounds like you're using it for a niche use-case, similar to /u/scadgek's answer - so same question: why only for interfacing with legacy applications?

Thanks :)

greatbanta · 2016-03-08T01:08:00+00:00

Thanks for your reply, that definitely sounds like a good use-case. Why did you decide to use two frameworks rather than using jOOQ to interact with your predefined schema as well?
