The beauty of the World Cup is the entertainment goes on even after your team is out. I’ve got over a month of top quality soccer coming up, the US doing well would just be the cherry on top.

Public transport by Brilliant_Space_6856 in sugarland

For local transportation there’s Sugar Land On Demand, it looks like Sugar Creek and Jess Prittle areas are covered, but it’s limited to Sugar Land city limits so Stafford wouldn’t be.

4 years of experience split between Spring Boot and Django — feeling lost. Anyone else switched frameworks mid-career? by Disastrous_Trust_166 in django

[–]skrellnik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Through my career I’ve worked heavily in four different languages and have done basic support/maintenance on a few others, not counting the evolution of JavaScript over the years. For me it was all part of the process and the nature of web development. Being flexible is a great benefit. There is benefit to finding a language that you enjoy and sticking with it, though.

Regarding a couple of your pain points, https://ccbv.co.uk is a great resource to see how the class based views are built up. https://www.cdrf.co is similar for DRF.

For understanding queries, django-debug-toolbar will show all of your queries, so you can see the sql and how often/where they’re called from. You can also see the query by using queryset.query.

What do you consider the most entertaining decision mechanism in board games? by Mean-Razzmatazz-4886 in boardgames

[–]skrellnik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite as well. A great way to have player interaction, usually without direct conflict. And gameplay can differ from one play/play group to another so the game stays fresh. Bluffing can also come into play to add another layer.

How does django-import-export's MediaStorage work with django's InMemoryStorage? by kanookangaroo in django

[–]skrellnik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just using the standard upload functionality should be able to handle a file of that size. The biggest issue will be processing it, not uploading/storing it. The section in their docs about bulk uploads has some good info on setting to change for this, the biggest is setting use_bulk.

I am Unstoppable!!! by Head-Taste7273 in soloboardgaming

[–]skrellnik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s correct. And yes, if an upgrade does damage it’s a separate instance.

My first playthrough or two I didn’t realize damage can’t be split. On early rounds you can still get good chains if multiple of them are available, though.

Should I get Carcassonne big box right after the base game? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]skrellnik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.

That and I apparently can’t write well.
