In my experience here, if something is considered only marginally bad by most people here it signifies that's very good for everyone else

I am a gamer, I've played the game and loved it. Different people, different opinions

I've finished the game this week and found it thoroughly amazing. It's definitely one of the best games I've played, and lives up to the first one. The first hours were pretty hard since the controls are weird, and the pace of the game is different than the current games, but after that... My god, what an experience! Even the chores, which are designed on purpose to be annoying, are fun to do because it makes you soak in the character, in their lives.

But to me the outdoor experience was the best of all: most of the times I would set the cinematic camera, put my horse on auto mode and just enjoy the trip, and get consistently mesmerized by graphics and the overall ambient. I've played more than the estimated 65 hours and still have stuff to do to complete everything, and there are times where I would just stop to look at the place.

That being said, I think that the story is... good, I like Arthur, but to be fair the last arc was better paced, I think. There are some inconsistencies in overall but nothing major. The first RDR also has a ok-ish story to me too so I think this is fine. There are some flaws on some game mechanics too, like the camp you can build which is a bit useless IMO, and of course the controls which are sometimes hard to grasp.

Nonetheless, a fantastic game

"which are designed on purpose to be annoying"

why?

You get a reward for doing the chores, so they have to slow down how fast you can do them so you don’t buff forever super quickly. The chores are repetitive: chop wood, carry hay, carry water. So they could be perceived as annoying or as peaceful and relaxing, depending on who is playing.

I think that the series is more about what is to cook food, not how to cook it. It's a different lens over the same matter.

I'ts not an company per se, but the rust community is fairly big and full of awesome, well mannered and cheerful leaders.

Wat. I been there and it's a fairly small community.

They do have awesome and well mannered leaders but most are connected to Mozilla.

50 > years of pollution that will maybe take millenia to clean up by themselves?

Hi, lifelong python developer here. Is OCaml a good fit to do REST application servers? I've took a look a year ago but couldn't find well maintained libraries and it seems that the community is not so focused in general development. Am I wrong? OCaml seems really nice, I've been dabbling with rust for a while, and it feels great working with it but I'd like to try some purer functional languages too. My needs are basically a web container, some way to interface with SQL (ORM or a query builder, with support to PostGIS), some redis, some elasticsearch, nothing too fancy.

Not particularly imo, no.

A great (albeit maybe not as great as OCaml ;) alternative for web usage would be F# with .NET Core, which has become a joy to work with over the past year or so on macos.

You could look at these:

https://github.com/rgrinberg/opium https://github.com/inhabitedtype/ocaml-webmachine https://github.com/inhabitedtype/ocaml-session https://github.com/arenadotio/pgx (there are a few other as well, not sure which one would support PostGIS) https://github.com/Leonidas-from-XIV/slacko

When in doubt head over to https://discuss.ocaml.org/ and show an example if you run into any trouble.

You can look at https://ocsigen.org and more particularly at https://ocsigen.org/tuto/6.2/manual/rest .

this is pretty neat! I was wondering, are there any projects to transpile python to js, but targeting the server side? It would be interesting to port a flask application, for example, to run on node and benefit from the jit, or maybe use express and call flask through its wsgi interface.

You're better off running it on the original version of PyPy, which already uses a JIT.

Why not just run these in their native environment?

I guess as he mentioned on the blog it was a POC, if you just ignored the fact it's using the bitcoin api to track transactions it implements DB access, interaction with the event bus, websockets. I fail to see why it's not interesting.

I'm asking for other (IMO more interesting) POCs, and I do find in interesting.
