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 should be reproducible.

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 relatively seamlessly with htmx. If you don't want t

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 mean to say is that I don't know r

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 all; you can `(load "file.lisp&quot

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. ```suggestion my_change ``` if there's someone on y

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 does, and I use it for more simple setups

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. Many of the cosmetic items can sell for a lo

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 objective or a predefined

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 until 7PM or so). It would go to 10-ish instances of 2 apps duri

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 spawn an NPC of Thrall on the throne in stormwind.

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 integrate. I don't really know much about tha

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, since the entire game's database (items, que

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 one of the best things people can do to help - that&#x27

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 differences that come to mind between CMaNGOS and AC are AC'

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 actually impacts overall gameplay is the thread syst

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 are bugged and which aren't, but the real

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 it has a module system, where the game se

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 coming back.

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 overall fun and the majority of people who frequ

There may be 12 video players in the package repositories but I can't think of any distro that installs with 2 video players.

Yeah, weird for them to do that. Managing credentials like that sucks even from an ergonomics standpoint. In practice, it's pretty normal to use OIDC to authenticate Github Actions to AWS: https://docs.github.com/en&#x2
