Some folks don't like shipping

I agree with your opinion. Reproducible can sometimes be a goal, but repeatable is always important. I do think for this case specifically (base images for a specific distro), they…

The beauty of it is that you don't _need_ Alpine at all, Alpine just comes up because it's popular, it solves the problem of lightweight inline scripting, and it integrates relativ…

I've shipped multiple projects running HTMX, and I generally like it. Grain of salt too, I'm typically a "DevOps engineer", and I generally lean towards backend development. What I…

ASDF - another system definition facility - is the de facto standard build system for common lisp. https://asdf.common-lisp.dev/ In common lisp, you don't need a build system at al…

In my case, my boss won't let me.

Github has a neat extension to its' markdown syntax where if you comment with a block for a specific line or lines, it will render to have a "commit suggestion" button. ```suggesti…

> much of what it does do could easily be replaced with a generative AI model that produces new space pictures for desktop backgrounds. Ok, you're obviously trolling here. This is …

I like tilt [ https://tilt.dev ] if the dev infra has any significant complexity to it. Docker compose also has a "watch" command that can do lots of the the things devcontainers d…

In team fortress 2, players can receive loot boxes/in game items during normal gameplay. The loot boxes can be unlocked by purchasing a "key" for ~$2.50, to receive cosmetic items.…

You probably don't play TF2. It's not just "human behind the kb/m using an aim assist cheat". It's literally bots/non-human players that stare at the sky and beeline to either the …

How does fp in clojure differ from fp on common lisp?

I worked on a project with an e-commerce company a few months back. They use autoscaling in their Kubernetes cluster to account for high load during peak hours (generally noon unti…

Yeah, this is essentially it. A whole bunch of state such as this is stored in the MySQL database rather than the client/client files, so it's definitely theoretically possible to …

nice name yeah, it's possible to create a new client. It'd be a lot of work, though. Some people make their own patches for the standard client if they have something they want to …

It's definitely not small. From a lines of code perspective, there's ~525K lines of c++, ~175K of C, and ~160K of headers for either language. There's ~4 million lines of SQL, sinc…

It can depend - some things, like content related issues may require triaging which can take some time to do. Testing PR's and confirming that the behavior is correct is actually o…

I'm not too familiar with CMaNGOS, but my understanding is that the original MaNGOS is the ancestor of AzerothCore (as well as most other C++ WoW emulators). The primary difference…

For what it's worth, most of the quests work fine. There's a _few_ that have issues, but the vast majority work just like they did in 2010. The largest issue I can think of that ac…

The repo represents a "BlizzLike" server in its' entirety. The 640MB of SQL actually does contain all of the quests for WoW 3.3.5a. A sibling commenter quipped about which quests a…

Hey, I'm on the contributor team for AzerothCore, mainly focusing on maintaining the docker images and linux build CI! Cool to see it here. AzerothCore's "killer feature" is that i…

I don't think it's your fault and I don't think you're using the wrong browser. > I should be working out the dependency story and compiling some driver from Github myself. no, nvi…

I'm also in wow emu world and I agree. Maintainers seem to be quite picky with accepting changes. there's also so many weird quirks to the projects, it's basically what keeps me co…

Cool, I didn't realize Runescape private servers were a thing still. I contribute to AzerothCore[0] pretty regularly. There's a lot of improvements that could be made, but it's ove…

My question to this is "why go through the trouble of doing this when there's operating systems where you don't need to do a debloat step" I realize the answer is that people use W…
