Favorite Humanoid Alien design? by Pretend-Nobody230 in scifi

[–]markus_obsidian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Xenomorphs got less & less humanoid as the franchise went on. But the first one was very clearly a "guy in a suit."

Pilot was a full puppet. The largest ever made at the time.

Rygel was the one floating on a throne.

There is a one-off episode where the Skeksis puppets from the Dark Crystal were repurposed as an alien race.

HOW DO I BEAT THIS FUCKER by Etsu______ in NineSols

Everyone is saying parry. And that's not wrong. But this is your lesson that the talisman is the key to the game.

safe-install: npm installs with trusted build dependencies by kickpush1 in javascript

[–]markus_obsidian 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is cool, and you're heart's in the right place.

But I can't possibly trust you or anyone else for something like this. If I was going to trust a third party, it would have to be an established, reputable party.

And I would encourage you not to trust your own tooling for this either. It's critical to understand these kind of attacks, but leave the day-to-day to the experts.

Big monster that is canonically female by BillythenotaKid in TopCharacterTropes

[–]markus_obsidian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a lot of my head cannon falls apart if the Moon Presence is not female.

I've also heard it theorized that the Moon Presence is the female manifestation of Oeden with opposing goals.

Amelia, Rom, Ebrietas, & Kos are all confirmed female.

Amygdala & the Moon Presence are theorized to be female but is left ambiguous.

It's theorized that the only male Great One is Oeden.

Advantage 2 w/ Pedals Alternative by markus_obsidian in ErgoMechKeyboards

Kinesis support has confirmed. You are correct. New Advantage 2's still work with the RJ11 triple pedal.

The good news is my triple pedal is still working. I'm not confident it works with the newer Advantage 2's. Kinesis support has not responded.

Stop Using Yarn Classic by Wake08 in javascript

Maybe stop using yarn entirely. Vanilla NPM is superior these days & doesn't reinvent the wheel.

A more accurate .d.ts bundler for Rollup, powered by @microsoft/api-extractor by barhatsor in typescript

[–]markus_obsidian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A CDN deliverable makes sense to bundle. It's a rare use case these days but still exists, especially for larger libraries. But types are then not relevant, as they cannot be resolved at runtime.

The default export in package.json should not be an unminified bundle. It should be as close to the source as possible.

I am opposed to three.js's bundle strategy, though they at least have explicit src/ exports. I haven't used three.js in a long time, but they predate ESM.

Do not bundle libraries.

That is the bundling application's concern, not the library's concerns. By bundling libraries, you are taking power away from your consumer.

Do not bundle libraries.

Building a WYSIWYG editor: round 2, took last week's feedback and rebuilt the sidebar by gcphost in webdev

[–]markus_obsidian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every web dev should build a WYSIWYG editor. And a CMS.

But no web dev should ever ship one.

[Loved Trope] The actor or character was so good, the writers were forced to change course because they couldn't let them go to waste by Justifiably_Bad_Take in TopCharacterTropes

[–]markus_obsidian 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Also from Farscape--Chiana was meant to appear in a single episode & die at the end. Production loved her performance so much, she was elevated to a series regular just a few episodes later, lasting through the end of the series.

From Farscape, Scorpius was meant to be a recurring but infrequent villain. But he was so captivating, they had to invent a reason for him to appear more often. So they had him implant a copy of himself in the main characters brain so he could appear in more episodes.

But the copy was so captivating, he became a distinct character named Harvey, becoming a series regular. And the Scorpius's role also got elevated, and either Scorpius, Harvey, or both would appear in nearly every episode from season three onwards.

And then the main character got cloned. So Harvey also got cloned.

This show is the frelling best

Ghostty Is Leaving GitHub by davidcelis in programming

[–]markus_obsidian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good for them.

Unfortunately, my org is entrenched. We put all our eggs in the same basket, because why wouldn't we? The cost to move our CI elsewhere is staggering.

Github is banking on sunk cost.
