Tried this board game called Wingspan and it's actually really fun if you're into birds! Easy to learn and it plays like a deckbuilder where you collect birds and they all have different bonuses that help you throughout the game. You play against others for points but there aren't really any places you can screw over your opponents. Played two quick rounds last night, greatly recommended!
@msokolov unfortunately lucene-core is 4 MB which is a bit much to import for a single type where we already have an implementation. Although I suppose we could just copy the literal source file over.
@ahelwer agree it's silly to import if you don't need it, the suggestion was more in the spirit of copy paste, although it's probably tied into some abstraction that wouldn't be useful out of context
I'm at the Linux Foundation OSSNA conference in Seattle right now, which has quite a weird vibe. It is like the very corporate end of open source. Really enjoying the embedded open source sub-conference though! I've been wanting to help with Pine64 development for a long time and now I'm learning a ton about how to do that. I guess this is all because of Internet of Things gizmos but it seems like open source software for embedded platforms is really well developed these days.
In the category of "use tools like a fuckin hominid" instead of painstakingly typing all 101*5 infix operator parser test cases by hand I am writing a python script to generate them for me. I should do this more! Why write code at all? Write code to write your code!
Simple tool but I recently learned about Zeal, a FOSS offline documentation browser, and it will surely decimate the number of internet searches I run per day https://zealdocs.org/
Intro post for discuss.systems: hi, I'm Andrew! TLA+ is my main thing these days, both on-contract (writing specs, reviewing specs) and personal projects (working on test infra to safely open up the TLA+ tools to changes). Other than that I'm learning/using nix and hoping to get into verified low-level development this year!
I moved here from fosstodon because so many of you are working on & writing about interesting things, and I like scrolling the local feed!
