Turns out in Elden Ring, you’re supposed to go left when you leave the initial starting area so you can pick up the ability of teleportation to bonfires.

Well, imagine my surprise learning that from friends 10 play hours later after going right and opening up a teleporting treasure chest to some crystal cave…

Here is a thread where someone asked this question a month or so back and a lot of people weighed in, myself included.

I am a kinesis advantage 2 enjoyer, myself.

Banger of an article and this paragraph especially made me feel like the author personally knew me

Mark’s pyramid illustrates how fundamentally different the role of architect compares to developer. Developers spend their whole career honing expertise, and transitioning to the architect role means a shift in that perspective, which many architects find difficult. This in turn leads to two common dysfunctions: first, an architect tries to maintain expertise in a wide variety of areas, succeeding in none of them and working themselves ragged in the process. Second, it manifests as stale expertise—the mistaken sensation that your outdated information is still cutting edge. I see this often in large companies where the developers who founded the company have moved into leadership roles yet still make technology decisions using ancient criteria (I refer to this as the Frozen Caveman Antipattern).

To the first point, I was already thinking that maybe I too am an accidental architect but that note about burnout trying to stay on top of everything within your breadth of knowledge I completely understand. I’ve also done a lot of work over the past 4 years to offload and socialize a lot of knowledge because there was a point I couldn’t get my own work done in any meaningful way because I was getting interrupted multiple times a day with questions, and in meetings I kept hearing similar phrases to “I don’t get it but if anyone does, <me> knows”. It’s not like I wanted to be the bus factor of one, but sometimes you don’t realize how high the silo walls got until they start filling it with grain.

To the second point, I’ve often had the idea with some enterprise architects I’ve encountered that they are idiots. I guess it’s not that they’re stupid, it’s that they are working too closely on outdated knowledge and tools so it looks like they’re dumb. It’s helpful that there’s been a big push in the enterprise architecture community to follow TOGAF recommendations for company technical maturity in the modern age with so many new frameworks and tech stacks popping up every 5 years.

Runner minutes from runners on gitlab online are limited to some certain amount according to some calculations… I dunno. But if you self-host your own runners, wherever they may exist (your own home lab in shell, in containers, in a k8s cluster, really a lotta options ) then you don’t pay anything to use your own runner minutes. I can tell you from experience they aren’t that difficult to get going and registered to your online gitlab workspace or self-hosted gitlab platform, simple matter of registering the runner with a token key given to you in the runner panel on gitlab, and providing it a TLS cert especially if you intend for the runners to interact with self-hosted container registries because then it will stop yelling at you.

I have adjusted my mindset instead of adjusting the terms themselves, for me. While completely getting everything that exists was and is still to “100%” a game, I have adjusted “to beat” a game to no longer be nearly synonymous with 100% because I ain’t got time for that anymore.

Instead I believe to have beaten a game if I get the main sequence credit roll and have completed as much non-main scenario content as I want to before I feel it’s tedious or stupid. Sometimes beating the game is strictly completing the main sequence because no extra content exists, are only achievements, or are so difficult that I simply don’t feel like investing the time into it (unless I want to. Shout out to God of War ps3 with the hardest difficulty + Valkyrie Queen side quest! Now THAT was a hard but fair and fun fight!).

I recently played through BotW finally so I can move onto TotK and I did all shrines, about 320 korok seeds, and some side quests and chains (like terry town) but I decided against doing the trial of the sword deep dungeon. I kept playing and doing things and didn’t get all shrines because I wanted to but instead had such a fun time that I got all of them because I just happened to continue enjoying the journey to all shrines. That subtle distinction means I keep playing games as content still exists and while I’m still having a good time.

When the good time ends, then I feel I have beat the game. And that’s good by me.

Sorry for the late response to my other comment - I also was reading through the documentation for the first time and it looks like you got the answer ahead of me, nice!

I whipped up some sample code that does exactly the same thing you ended up doing, so no further additions here except that in the Lemmy API is expecting requests to be sent to <instance domain>/api/v3/... .

I used my code that is basically the same to what you have above here, but when I switched it to v1 the server throws an 400 error (malformed request). So if you haven’t ran this code already you’ve got my sanity check that it will work except for making sure you change the api version. You can then carry that auth token with you when making requests by including it in the header like so

headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  'auth': '<jwt goes here>'
}

Very jank response because I’m on my phone!

Looks like you’ll need to POST the header Auth with the token you receive as a LoginResponse https://join-lemmy.org/api/interfaces/LoginResponse.html

(Brb for an edit)

I felt this thread in my soul, as I’m never more hyper aware about bugs in my code as I am after I’ve already submitted the PR.

Garth continues to have friends in low places!*

Glad to hear such a forward stance on his bar. I haven’t kept up with country music for a while but I believe he still draws quite the crowd and maintained their respect as a country music legend. Anyone on the out about this won’t be missed.

*(This is a reference to one of his songs! It’s one of my favorites to drunk karaoke. )

I followed this tutorial which cuts the jeans to the proper length and then uses a sewing machine with a zig zag pattern to create the new hem. I had to go this way instead of reusing the original hem because I needed to shorten the leg by 4 inches and would have way too much fabric at the bottom of the leg if I kept the original hem or did one of those non-sewing tricks.

I used a marker to create the lines of interest as described in the video but uh… those lines didn’t wash out. Thankfully they’re hidden unless you really go looking for them but I’d suggest a quick trip to the craft store for tailoring chalk!

This has the fantastic parallel to Kintsugi. I also repair my own clothing like OP, but I just yesterday created a big horizontal tear in a pair of shorts I enjoy wearing and will try repairing them like you’ve linked here, it looks really nice!

I also have a rather difficult time finding decent jeans in my correct waist and length, so I’ve taken to hemming my own pants and while the first time was terrifying (I’m cutting off the bottom of a perfectly good pair of jeans what if I mess up!?) it turned out amazing and I look and feel SUPER confident in the altered pants. So I recoimmend to anyone to give hemming their own clothes a try, maybe starting with a pair of pants that you’ll repair like OP’s anyway, you can’t screw it up much worse anyway!

Just going off of a quick stroll through the iOS app store (as of time of this post)

• Apollo is the highest rated 3rd party reddit app at #11 in the News category (for comparison, the next highest was Narwhal at #75 within this same category)
• Apollo does not however breach the top 200 apps app-store-wide. The official reddit app does at #52 overall. and enjoys the company of other ubiquitous apps like Hulu, Duolingo, Google Drive, and Disney+, all within 10 ranks of it on the overall list.
• It does seem that reddit has crunched their numbers and gambled that 3rd party app users and the uproar they are in is a calculable loss against the groundswell of desktop and official reddit app users.
