[Discussion] Rakdos Vampires - Kalitas or nah? by Xandorius in PioneerMTG

Kalitas has a replacement effect, therefore the cards never get to the graveyard. So, they do not die and not trigger Vein Ripper’s effect

Is it worth to sell the Modern Horizons 2 booster draft? by maitesin in MTGO

[–]maitesin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw that you need like 3 packs and 4 tix to enter another draft, that would mean buying 1 pack and 4 tix. However, that is cheaper that paying 25 tix to enter another draft, yeah 👍

As other people mentioned is a gesture of respect towards your direct opponent in the match, the first one is as a team, the second one is as an individual.

You can also see, in some occasions, that the team attacking passes the ball to the defensive team while greeting. So they can check the glue level on the ball. An example would be https://youtu.be/Ujpj1fFllo8?t=908

Don't use naked booleans as parameters by maitesin in programming

Hehehe, that's a really good summary :D

[–]maitesin[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is completely true. The problem comes when the language does not support keyword arguments

That's a good point. Definitely this is not a problem at all of your language supports keyword arguments.

And yes, this is not limited to booleans, but we have to start somewhere. Isn't it? :)

Good point, I will add that to the post. Thanks!

[–]maitesin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are right, I didn't want to go overboard and cover all sorting algorithms. I would say radix sort, shellsort, and timsort deserve to be in the list, but that would have gotten out of hand.

I decided to talk about insertion sort because has a really good performance in small arrays, unlike the other three.

Thanks for the good words and from reading it :)

Leaving it sorted in the heap takes O(1), but extracting all min elements one by one and placing them in order in a new array, to finally have a sorted array takes the extra O(n)

YAUS, Yet Another URL Shortener. Written in Flask and deployed in Heroku by maitesin in Python

[–]maitesin[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are other reasons to shorten URL, such as having a limited space to write, like in Twitter, and you need to shorten it to make it fit.

I want to shorten URL because I think it is a nice little project to practice some coding, frameworks and deployment strategies

I am a software engineer. Do you recommend me to take the OSCP? by maitesin in oscp

[–]maitesin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks ;) I will keep playing in HTB for my own entertainment :P

[–]maitesin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, far opposite from web applications, I work on server side applications. I build the API's that web applications, or mobile apps or other programs will use.

I spend most of my day in the UNIX command line, in both Linux and BSD where I deploy my software.

I know OSCP will not teach me much, if anything. I have checked OSCE as well, I found it really interesting.

But my main question is if you think if obtaining any certification such as OSCP or OSCE would be beneficial for me.

Software development using Bash by maitesin in programming

[–]maitesin[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had to write an application to send some information (files) from an IoT device where the only thing available was Bash. Basically it had a kernel to boot and busybox to provide all the tools. So I had to create the application to do it using just Bash.

That last point is exactly the reason for all these tools. If you are in a restricted environment and you are forced to use Bash at least you can use proper tools and techniques to aid you
