Yeah, but that's a different project than this one :D This is just about building the framework for now and then putting it loose into the world. I have a big refactor in mind to further decouple the client/server from the game en

I grew up coding MUDs (in college) and every year I try to recreate that glory, so I start a fresh MUD code base from scratch. This year, I am creating a nodejs MUD, well closer to a MUSH actually. * Everything is an Entity with Attributes

I've always been into MUDs since the mid-90s and every now and then I get this idea to write one from scratch (again) and I get pretty far and then I lose interest. The new one is browser based. The mud engine runs in a web worker and

After some research, mostly in /r/GermanCitizenship, I recently applied for and received my German passport, based on my mother being German at the time I was born. There are a lot of subreddits with a lot of useful information. S

One of the "perks" of my Walmart+ membership is scan-as-you-go. I think I've used it twice. Both times, I only had a few things and the store was packed solid with spring breakers. It was a decent experience but I still like

I'm pretty introspective and I've got my strengths and weaknesses down. They're also the same things, but in different directions and degrees. Example: I am super focused and stay on something until it is done. I am also supe

I had the same problem with these questions. Then one day a recruiter said to me, "kageneko, your engineering skills are on top, but your question answering is really bad. I think it would help if you wrote down some questions and answ

Screen readers often read things in particular ways that non-screen readers would interpret differently. One example that I've run into is using all caps to label something, like "ACCOUNT NAME". Screen readers will typically

Ah, such memories. MUDs were the first reason I almost flunked out of college. Especially when I started running my own. Gonna read this so much. Especially since I'm building a MUD again, but using Discord and Slack as the clients.

It depends. For drawing, diagramming, and writing things out, I often use an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, with the Paper app [0]. I find that writing with a pencil-type thing works better for me than typing. I also do Rubber Duck brainstormin

I've bought a few non-smart TVs from Wal-mart: Sceptre brand. They were cheap and functional. I use them with Fire TV sticks, XBox, and this NUC that I've got sitting around.

They don't have direct access. You need to assign the secret in your workflow file. Example: steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v2 - uses: sfdx-actions/setup-sfdx@v1 with: sfdx-auth-url: ${{ secrets.SFD

I picked up a 41 inch Sceptre earlier this year and I loooove the lack of smart features. For watching TV in my office, it works amazingly well.

I wouldn't bet on the availability of a data plan. I regularly drive through Alabama on the way to Florida (from Atlanta). One time, I took a wrong turn and ended up in a small town with absolutely no cell signal and closed roads every

I've had a few fakes or knockoffs -- mostly low-cost electronics that I didn't care too much about. But one of them was an AC adapter for my laptop :| After I plugged it in, my laptop smoked. Well, more like sizzled. The manufact

You can do this. I have mine set up to use Todoist. You need to add the appropriate skill and then link the account.

Uggh. Yeah. We've been required to use it at work, if we want real-time chat. We were using Slack before, but it was taken off the authorization list. I made a long list of things that was wrong with it while we were with it. The n

While there is an ISO standard for pet chips, there are several competing versions that are also in use. I think my vet said there were 3 or 4 different kinds and each had a different kind of reader.

I seem to recall seeing a 2 second thing where they had a pencil and keyboard attached at the same time. And I'm pretty sure they mentioned 192 magnets built into the edges of the Pro. I'm hoping this leads to a future where 3rd

About 6 years ago, we bought a 2007 Kia Sorento EX with about 90k miles on it. It's held up well (now up to 160k miles) and only needed basic maintenance. Based on my previous experience,I would have no problems buying another Kia So

I don't remember the site offhand, but I was going to one recently where example.com didn't even work, it was some weird error page -- you had to use www.example.com. If it comes to me, I'll post it.
