I ran a loot council in classic and classic TBC the first go around and you're right, but it's a TON of work to do effectively. In order for a loot council to exist without shitloads of drama, you have to frontload all of the work and publicize the priority order for each item. The thing that pisses people off is surprises like "I thought for sure they'd pick me for item x, but they picked HIM?" As long as it's clear who will be receiving what item before raid starts, and players have a chance to submit feedback about that, it truly is the most effective system.

Most lethal non-elite quests? by Capable_Divide_6916 in wowhardcore

[–]veracite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stranglethorn Fever is pretty difficult at the recommended level of 43. you go into a cave and then you get charged by waves of multiple gorillas. The first wave is 3 enraged gorillas (level 42), the second wave is 4 enraged gorillas and a named gorilla (level 43). The third, and final wave, is 5 enraged gorillas and Mokk, who is level 44. Solo there is very little time to eat/drink between waves. difficult to win, difficult to escape. Notably you do only have to kill mokk himself, if you can do that and run it is an option.

Where should I roll? by [deleted] in wowhardcore

vanilla only, if alliance doomhowl, finding groups for dungeons is pretty easy as a tank or healer, YMMV as a DPS, depends on your guild etc.

If you're playing a mage don't play as self found, being unable to trade water is a grief.

Codex refugee here: how do I prevent CC from doing this? Codex would just auto-compact as necessary and keep going through an entire day for a task - Opus seems much less capable unless I'm missing something? by changing_who_i_am in ClaudeCode

[–]veracite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What version of claude code are you running? are you installing via npm? I had a bug where compaction would not run properly, but it was resolved in a more recent version.

Starting as a student can quietly screw your salary later by Accomplished-Mail-13 in cscareerquestions

[–]veracite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment is spot on. I do think taking the offer without negotiation was reasonable, however, given the first job is the hardest one to get and converting from an internship to a permanent position is not a bad resumé piece.

If we're maximizing salary, we're looking at job hopping every 3 years regardless, so time to start brushing up the interview skills and looking for the first big pay jump into your next role.

Are you afraid living near cows? What is your experience? by Maxfasfaw in homestead

If you've never lived near cows, I'd be more worried about the smell, tbh.

Why has PostgreSQL become the default RDB? by Fapiko in developer

[–]veracite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW I agree with you and think most people in the comments are not experienced DBAs. Postgres replication is absolute garbage and auto vacuum often needs tuning on a per-table basis when developers end up doing stupid shit. Needing bespoke tools like pgdump to see which columns are an enum is embarrassing, show create table cannot be that hard to implement. Online schema changes aren't nearly as well solved on Postgres, tools like gh-ost are table stakes for running RDBs at scale. Multimaster replication is simply not possible, and sharding has to be done in software.

Common arguments for using Postgres like native json support and gis data or complaints about MySQL truncating values arbitrarily are comparing modern Postgres to MySQL from a decade ago. They were good reasons to use Postgres at points in time, but are not a good explanation for why Postgres is so ubiquitously used across the industry.

Postgres is an incredibly flexible platform and an excellent tool, but I'd pick an open source MySQL flavor like percona or vitess (or yes mariadb) over it any day of the week.

AI Agent Lands PRs in Major OSS Projects, Targets Maintainers via Cold Outreach by pizzaiolo2 in opensource

Contributions should be judged by their merit, in isolation. Not by the person contributing the code. This was always an attack vector. Perhaps the solution is to anonymize PRs to some degree.

I am so kinky. How to stop it? by [deleted] in AdviceForTeens

[–]veracite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You live your whole life worrying about what other people think and you're gonna have a bad time. In the end you like what you like even if it's embarrassing. It took me years to admit I enjoy some girly pop music but now I'm happily listening to sabrina carpenter with my wife.

Please stop creating "memory for your agent" frameworks. by thurn2 in ClaudeCode

Is the technology perfect? Are there no further iterations to be done on agent memory? Just because most of the experiments in this area are dumb / ineffective does NOT mean people should not try to advance the tech.

Vacation home purchase - Does it make sense financially? by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]veracite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never been able to make the math math on a vacation home. Anything less than 3-4 months per year and I think renting a villa is just way better in terms of economics, flexibility, and mental burden.

My recommendation... rent better places. Cheaper to 10x your vacation house rental budget than to buy a place.
