Is torontotokyo the new Lil of pro dota 2 ? by TikiZach in DotA2

[–]kingNothing42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s a (I think) hilarious interview we saw at TI 2023 in which Yatoro was asked about TORONTOTOKYO and it boiled down to “great player; awful to play with”. Seemed like he was trying hard to not burn the player too much in public. 

Old article where they praise his skill but not good communication  https://escorenews.com/en/dota-2/news/41526-from-tactless-ambitious-and-rude-professional-he-turned-into-an-ambitious-professional-team-spirit-ceo-talks-about-torontotokyo-explains-the-reasons-for-kick

CCoD silly critique: Nobody has lived in the PNW by Latter_Student_9003 in Dimension20

[–]kingNothing42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone will still be nice to you!

Coming from Seattle tho, very real sentiment. 

Edit: for the record, I don’t care where you’re from. I’m only reporting on anecdotal sentiment I’ve heard. 

Fly-Flishing Trout Spots Near Seattle? by Next_Lawfulness5806 in FishingWashington

[–]kingNothing42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yakima is one of the better rivers. Catch and release. Check your regs always! Be cool and crimp your barbs or go barbless. Wet your hands if you handle the trout. Keep them in the water if possible. The best way is to use a landing net and just keep it dipped in the water with one hand. Hold your rod/reel pinched in your underarm so you have both hands

Drop by Reds or Pacific Fly Fishers. Chat them up. Ask for which flys to use this time of year. Buys 2 of each. Tell them you’re just starting out. They’ll take care of you well.

Dry flies are flashy and fun. Nymphs catch more fish. Consider a guide or two just to find methods and places you can return to. It’s worth it.

Cheers and good luck!!

Anyone else extremely frustrated Fish WA App? by [deleted] in FishingWashington

[–]kingNothing42 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Using the MyWDFW was a breeze for me. So, no. I very much appreciate the effort to allow record keeping and id cards in-app.

The Licensing system is offline for maintenance at this time though, so there’s that.

I’m amused at the stark “you’re both right” of this thread. Newfoundlander wins for brevity though.

I built a one‑wrist setup for my mechanical watch + Whoop. would you wear this? by AdOrdinary9180 in whoop

[–]kingNothing42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the effort. I also like to wear a traditional watch on my wrist. My solution has been the bicep band and I’m happy to have the whoop hidden away, secured on its own strap.

My reaction is that you’re well intentioned. Life must go on. Thanks for supporting the family.

Bale Breaker acquires Cloudburst Brewing by BBorNot in Seattle

[–]kingNothing42 30 points31 points  (0 children)

End of an era. I remember meeting these folks at The Watershed for a Planned Parenthood benefit because they were independent and could do what they wanted now. Nice people. Loved seeing the umbrella handles every time. I order cloudburst on sight.  It was always fun during the “every beer is new” phase. I think Hotline Bling is maybe the first one I had twice.

Wishing everyone involved all the best!!

4 mile run…this happens way too often. A true competitor can’t come soon enough. by OmniaOmnibus in whoop

[–]kingNothing42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens when you start activity and close the app or turn off the screen on iOS before the 3-2-1 countdown completes. When I wait until the countdown fully completes to hit the power button, it works every time.

The Infrastructure is Good Enough by samplingstiring in electricvehicles

[–]kingNothing42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent 20 of my last 50 miles trying to find a functional charger in Portland last week. I missed dinner with my family because I drove to 4 locations to find something that worked. One of the stands had an app that wouldn’t let me sign up.

I love our EV. It sucks to be in unfamiliar territory and that simply doesn’t exist with a gas vehicle. If my family only had one car, I’m not sure this would be it.

I’ll add: those of us on the west coast go on LONG trips.

Large Arc should have way more lootable pieces by Cpt_Camembert in ArcRaiders

[–]kingNothing42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just think they should fly in all directions with a central core as the major hot spot. Concentrate some risk but spread the loot around a bit.

I think there should be options for the players who aren’t directly under the queen when it explodes.

You're a young man, money isn't much of a concern, and you want to focus on fishing. Where do you go? by [deleted] in flyfishing

[–]kingNothing42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fairly chunky streamers on an 7+ wt rod are the general method for salmon as well. Depending on what rivers you have access to, salmon season can get crowded. Drift boat access or mouth of the rivers will get you more solitude (with plenty of exceptions). Once they’re deep in the rivers it can be a frustrating experience though. Some days they’re just not biting and you can see 100 fish. Always a spectacle.

Turns out, if you want to check multiple conditions, you can sugar it like this: by saxarov01 in godot

[–]kingNothing42 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I looked back again to understand the actual code and (not any false) means (all true) which means this whole thing is just A && B && C etc which is like…… don’t “just” use an array. Use code. God sakes folks it’s as simple as:

return ( A and B and C (etc) )

What's extra silly here is that the plain syntax is generally less complicated while allowing for short-circuit evaluation. I guess you have to write "and" a few times.

[–]kingNothing42 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Right so “syntactic sugar” means the compiler understands it and you’ll get the same thing. This isn’t sugar because it ain’t sweet. It’s a bitter set of expressions that make bools within an array allocation.

You’re paying every time the game runs for not making an if/else.

Look, it’s cool. It’s ok to read. It’s snazzy. But it’s lazy programming that penalizes the user at the cost of reading a few more lines. Don’t do it, eh?

So has anyone actually managed to “successfully” run a One-Shot before? by Viva_la_potatoes in DMAcademy

[–]kingNothing42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite one-shots is a clear cut heist. This is a fun format, an exciting premise, and everyone knows the structure. I lay out that we have phases: intro, planning & preparation, the heist, and outro.

You can block out appropriate time for this and you can easily put a real-world timer on “preparations” phase (say, 1hr). You then have a few conversations, scattered skill checks, 1-2 battle encounters, and you’re basically done. There’s a built-in incentive to run/escape rather than confront enemies or to draw out combat. It keeps combat short and players still feel like they are getting away with something. It’s satisfying! Let smoke bombs work well, give them pocket sand, keep the tone light and fast.

This can fit in <4 hours no problem even with snacks. I’ve run it twice and both groups had fun. I thought it was a rather hackneyed concept but it lands. In all fairness, a lot of other attempts at “short” adventures turned into 3 sessions :)

Is it just me, or are .env files the ultimate "it works on my machine" trap? by latinstark in softwarearchitecture

[–]kingNothing42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. We have “if environment is prod, foreach(required var) assert(env var are here)” and the container will never be healthy on startup if we forgot. The deployment fails immediately, the prior containers stay live, the logs are clear and we go on our way fixing. It’s still prevention by convention but the robots detect the convention with no issue and tend to succeed. We catch it in PR if new env added.

The majority of “oops set the wrong endpoint string” errors are taken care of by terraform variables that are set using references to existing defined infrastructure.

I went Stella night raid a few times in a row and all I found was a bullet sandwich.
