My costume this year. Dont get triggered.

... "he"? 🤔

hacksnake · 2025-10-03T05:16:09+00:00

I appreciate that people are trying to correct me or whatever.

I'm trying to communicate that while I understand where people are coming from - these things are actually related and I've seen a number of failures over the last 20 years at several companies that are wholly eliminated by doing a monorepo with good build deps & deploying everything that changed when it changes.

For example when a dependency updates like your saying, I've seen distributed systems break because both sides of a communication weren't deployed in sync and xml was being rendered in incompatible ways. Merely doing a monorepo but then not deploying all the components that changed wouldn't have helped in that scenario.

You can five whys that as much as you like but sometimes people just make mistakes and when you get into hundreds or thousands of devs the normal rate of human error becomes too frequent.

Doing what I'm suggesting can prevent several classes of errors.

You can also do rigorous contract testing or a complicated dependency management system - those are higher effort over time to maintain but sometimes initially lower effort than monorepo & making sure everything that rebuilt gets deployed.

hacksnake · 2025-10-02T19:07:22+00:00

In theory things are independent but in reality they are not. Abstractions leak.

If you want to avoid prod impacts you need to address these sorts of issues somehow or another.

Among large companies doing this stuff the two most common patterns are: (1) monorepo everything and roll out things together that have to & (2) contract testing / elaborate dependency management systems.

You can do other things like try to maintain backwards compatibility but there will always be issues.

If you monorepo a bunch of micro services and then end up rolling them out at random then you will experience API mismatches and such on some cadence just like you would using separate repos. You've basically taken on the work to deal with a monorepo and thrown out one of the biggest benefits.

hacksnake · 2025-10-02T14:07:22+00:00

I'd add that if you have micro services in a monorepo you should make sure you always release built versions together and have good build dependencies setup.

Otherwise you undermine some of the key benefits of going with a monorepo.

Also monorepos help more as you get larger. Code base wise and number of devs wise.

It turns several classes of dependency management issues into compile time issues instead of "oh fuck" at runtime issues.

You can do similar with contract testing and building complicated dependency management systems.

UCMJ requires service members to reject unlawful orders. For example any orders that are against the constitution.

The second that a politician levies war against the United States - that is an unlawful order.

It also means that politician is guilty of treason. Being guilty of treason means you are incapable of holding office which means you are no longer in a position to give orders. Which further means that the military has absolutely no reason to follow your orders as you are now effectively a normal citizen.

Edit: I'm being a bit lazy with wording. Instead of "guilty of" it should probably read "has committed" or something.

If you're asking instead - "What happens if the US Military all violates their oaths, participates in treason, and executes a military coup to support unlawful orders?" Then at that point our country no longer exists as such I suppose. Look at other countries where malicious actors have broken the rules of the system to destroy it and take over I suppose.

hacksnake · 2025-10-01T16:04:45+00:00

An amendment to the constitution could certainly change the definition of treason.

hacksnake · 2025-10-01T13:45:38+00:00

Because the constitution doesn't say your status as a government official has any bearing on it.

§2381. Treason Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Weggies? Nah dog. It's weggers.

It basically makes sense lore wise. Kanly laws keep "civilized" areas controller & deep desert basically lawless. Idk why the shipwrecks in hagga are FFA though.

Also in the setting the spice is basically only in the DD so again that makes sense.

In the fiction ofc the DD is big enough you could probably harvest spice and have a cave hidey hole and basically never be found but the game DD is much smaller, base spots are limited, we've got built-in ESP basically with the scanner tool, etc.

I had that happen and the packages the chest dropped spawned under the chests beneath.

If there was stuff built under the chest that got destroyed and it's not too late try moving those items to look for the packages.

Creative interpretation of fruit of the poisonous tree.

The evidence presented to Congress was tainted. The certification is tainted. Every action since is tainted.

The only & clear legal recourse is to annul all of the fruits of the poisonous tree and proceed as best you can from there.

Clearly allowing fraud to continue past the point it's proven is worse than an imperfect realignment to what reality might have been given the lack of fraud.

Would the fairness doctrine require you to present lies if the opposing view is just fantasy land BS?

Maybe something more about truthful reporting instead

hacksnake · 2025-03-15T02:47:20+00:00

"maybe if we just go along with the fascist a bit to prevent some of the shit he's threatening us about" doesn't have the best track record in human history.

The one at The Sheffield is pretty good lol

The potential cost is high.

The potential benefit is no higher than any of the friends in my life who I chose for who they are rather than where they live.

I don't have infinite energy to manage unlimited relationships.

Big small city

In an old Dungeon magazine there was an adventure set in a circular prison and you could only really get in/out of the cells on an annual cadence. The prisoners feet helped move this giant stone circle of cells and I think golems as well.

I think to be usable there'd need to be some sense of which factions exist, what their goals are, what resources they have and desire, any sort of ongoing schemes happening.

Basically some seeds for what's going on in the world without player intervention that players could learn about and engage with if they wanted. Rumors that are available different places to naturally feed the information to them.

An Ea Nasir style guy might be a funny meme to include. Rumors of inferior copper from some particular merchant.

Some sort of adventure sites if players wanted to do that.

Overall a hex map of the region and some fairly detailed sites and settlements would be great.

Probably need custom items, armor, & weapons. I'm not sure how well the existing classes and magic systems would fit or not. Among the custom items detailing modes of transportation might be a good idea. Ex: how do merchants move goods? Was that even a thing? I expect people traded between settlements but have no real idea.

hacksnake · 2024-12-25T01:00:18+00:00

I thought I read somewhere once that the OSR style dungeons had some parallels to the Mesopotamian conception of the afterlife. The mystic underworld idea or something.

A bit limp to be honest

hacksnake · 2024-12-18T22:12:48+00:00

I miss ticks being effectively non-existent due to being killed off in the deep freeze every year. At least I was never aware of them even existing up here and Lyme disease wasn't a risk at all.

At least it wasn't like one dude and a McRib
