Java and JavaScript are like car and carpet because despite the beginning of the names matching they serve different purposes. In the early web days Java applets were a thing and it failed which is why a new language was needed. It’s not a secret that there was pressure to make Javascript look like Java, that’s just not the point of the figure of speech.

I did speak for myself. I said “In my opinion”.

Working in a busy codebase for a long time when I have to spend time a non-trivial amount of time triaging through tickets I can’t reproduce that is taking time away from legitimate bug and request tickets I can be working on. It can seriously lead to burnout.

In my opinion that sounds like a plus. People that are too lazy to register an account to put in a code merge request or report a bug aren’t going to be writing quality code or quality bug reports.

And the site’s dark mode is fantastic…

It’s a well known term for when software and features are included for most common use cases and common users. Like when a Linux distro includes office and productivity suites pre-installed, or a code editor has several plugins bundled in. Not all users want that stuff pre-installed but enough do to merit these “batteries included” downloads and the term came up as a way to let you know who the intended users of the product are.

The blog and videos are great. His constant stream of thoughts from Mastodon might be too much Amos content in my life though.

Any of the “Pathfinder Adventure Card Game” base sets will do, ie “Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Skull & Shackles Base Set” or “Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Ride of the Runelords”. They come in a big square box and if you enjoy it you can expand gameplay with the smaller “Expansion Packs” which add more items/monsters/missions to the story.

Specifically they’re called “Pathfinder Adventure Card Game” and there are multiple base sets. https://www.amazon.com/Paizo-Publishing-Pathfinder-Adventure-Card/dp/1601256477

And if you enjoy if you can buy the smaller “Expansion Packs” which extend the arc out with more items and battles.

My base set is Rise of the Runelords which looks to be out of print but easy to find on ebay.

I personally had good experience playing the Pathfinder card game with my partner. You choose from one of the characters’ decks, taking on their unique items/stats then each game session you play lasts maybe half an hour to an hour. You may find loot along the way which your character keeps for the game next session. Your characters level up along the way, allow you to do things like, say, roll a D6 on attack instead of a D4. Of course the monsters get more difficult along the way as well. There’s a simple overworld map and story line to follow so you can track your progress along the way.

There’s also a pen and paper version of Pathfinder which I think makes a gentle introduction into the DnD world for those looking to explore that genre but don’t necessarily want to dive in head first.

Where on the radar dashboard can I see that exact graph?
