#open source poll script

[tarditzgrade]

hey hey hey

i ran a poll a little bit back asking when in the timeline did the elements that were being introduced get too ridiculous or nonsensical because its a criticism/complaint i see sometimes that a lot of the newer elements 'arent' elements' and i wanted to make sure i wasn't making stuff up and crowdsource opinions.

the time period that won was dr s2p2 or tournament of sources, with dr s1 coming in "second" and og s4 coming in "third". but the actual second place was the none/not concerned option.

however, now im curious about which specific element(s) was/were the tipping point for some people

unfortunately, i cant fit all of that onto a single tumblr poll, so ive made a google form where i can ask a more detailed question, as well as a few others

WHICH NINJAGO ELEMENTS WERE TOO RIDICULOUS OR 'WEREN'T ELEMENTS'?

in case there's confusion about what exactly im talking about, i explained things better in my first post

but to attract more attention to this post, there's enough space in a tumblr poll for the drs2p2 elements, including the three forbidden five elements we do know, so that's the poll below

take whatever you want into consideration when answering this one

there's also a space on the google form to share any nuance or other element-related opinions if you want to do that

even though the poll ends in a week, ill probably keep the google form open longer. i think ill edit or take down this post whenever i do close the google form.

idk exactly how long ill keep the google form open for tho. ig until i finish some of the other videos im working on or if i get my script to a point where i like it too much to add anything

and if ive made any glaring error in the form, please tell me and ill do my best to fix it

anyways, have a nice day :D

A Phoenix is NOT easily defeated!

So, I announced a few days ago that I was suspending MediaMiner posts of Phoenix: Reignited for two main reasons:

Their editor breaks formatting for things like italics

I get no notifications when I get a comment

Well, the other day I noticed Fanfiction.net was also breaking formatting, and I found a fix for it. I thought, what the hell, I'll see if that fixed formatting works on MediaMiner, and lo! It does! So, that solves one of the two issues that cost me the platform. But… what about the other? If I could solve that…

Well, it turns out MediaMiner doesn't have a true comment system; it backports comments to a forum. I found the URL to the actual forum. I then wrote a web scraper that sorts it by most recent, polls the first three pages (the 90 most recently-commented chapters, and currently Page 1 goes all the way back to August, so that should be plenty safe.) It parses every thread looking for Phoenix: Reignited and if it finds one, yanks out all the relevant data. It then dumps that into an RSS feed on ThePhoenixSaga.com, and then I set up a free RSS monitoring automation on Zapier to check that RSS feed and email me if any new items are detected.

Like. A. Bawss. EDIT: For any other fanfiction graybeards out there who still have stuff on MediaMiner, I open sourced the scraper script. Enjoy it! https://github.com/AnneIsOminous/mediaminermonitor

Six of Crows fan-written Script

Thanks to everyone who voted in the poll to see if you guys wanted to keep this going!! 🖤

Hi, so in true me style I still haven't got around to organising these posts into scene breakdowns so this is the next part of episode 1 scene 5, I'm hoping that I can get the end of scene 5 out in the next post and then from that point forwards I'll be able to post it scene by scene. I hope that makes sense.

Same reminder as usual: I'm trying to be as true to the books as possible whilst also matching Show!canon but I've also taken the occasional bit of artistic licence as to how I would imagine producing the show myself, for example inserting my personal headcanon about Anya in the opening scene of episode one. Also, I have never written a script before so the formatting is my own made-up method; if it doesn't make sense please let me know and I'll adapt it :)

Side note: Would it be helpful for me to make a masterlist with links to the parts I've already posted?

Recap since it's been a while - Kaz is with Van Eck at the Hoede house and is holding a knife to the merch's throat when Mika walks through the wall, frightening Kaz because he thinks he's hallucinating from a drug Van Eck has given him

EPISODE ONE SCENE FIVE (PART 2)

KAZ: What the hell is this?

VAN ECK: Let me go and I’ll explain

KAZ: You can explain right where you are

VAN ECK: What you’re seeing are the effects of jurda parem

KAZ: Jurda’s just a stimulant. It’s harmless

VAN ECK: Ordinary jurda, yes. Jurda parem is completely different - and most definitely not harmless

KAZ: So you did drug me?

VAN ECK: Not you, mister Brekker. Mika

[KAZ turns and looks at MIKA. The camera moves slowly up the Tidemaker’s figure; his hands are trembling, the dark circles beneath his eyes are pronounced, and his kefta is slightly ill-fitting as though he has lost a lot of weight since it was last altered]

VAN ECK: Jurda parem is a cousin to ordinary jurda - from the same plant. We aren’t sure of the production process, but a sample was sent to the Merchant Council by a scientist named Bo Yul-Bayurr

KAZ: Shu?

VAN ECK: Yes. He wished to defect, so he sent the sample to prove his claims regarding the drug’s extraordinary effects - Please, mister Brekker, this is a most uncomfortable position. If you’d like, I can give you a pistol and we can sit and discuss this in a more civilised fashion

KAZ: A pistol and my cane

[VAN ECK gestures to one of the stadwatch guards by the door, who leaves briefly and returns with KAZ’s cane]

KAZ: Pistol first. Slowly

[The guard unholsters his own gun and hands it to KAZ by the grip. KAZ grabs the gun and cocks it in one swift movement, then releases VAN ECK and throws the letter opener onto the desk before snatching his cane from the guard’s hand. He is immediately more comfortable. VAN ECK paces backwards and KAZ moves slowly towards the window]

VAN ECK: That cane is quite a piece of hardware, Mr Brekker. Is it Fabrikator made?

KAZ: None of your business. Get talking, Van Eck

VAN ECK: When Bo Yul-Bayur sent us the sample of jurda parem, we tested it on three Grisha - one from each order. 

KAZ: Happy volunteers?

VAN ECK: Indentures. The first two were a Fabrikator and a Healer indentured to Councilman Hoede,

[KAZ frowns; he recalls hearing the name recently but cannot remember why]

and Mika is a Tidemaker. He’s mine. You’ve seen what he can do using the drug.

KAZ: I don’t know what I’ve seen.

[KAZ looks back at MIKA, and the camera follows his gaze. MIKA is focused intently on VAN ECK as though he is unaware of anything else in the room, his expression one of desperation]

VAN ECK: An ordinary Tidemaker can control currents, summon water or moisture from the air, or a nearby source. They manage the tides in our harbours. But under the influence of parem, a Tidemaker can alter their own state from solid, to liquid, to gas and back again and do the same with other objects - even a wall.

[KAZ frowns. He isn’t convinced, but he has no other explanation for what he’s seen]

KAZ: How?

VAN ECK: It’s hard to say. You’re aware of the amplifiers some Grisha wear?

KAZ: I’ve seen them - animal bones, and such. I hear they’re hard to come by.

VAN ECK: Very. But they only increase a Grisha’s power. Jurda parem alters a Grisha’s perception.

KAZ: So?

VAN ECK: Grisha manipulate matter at its most fundamental metals - they call it the Small Science. Under the influence of parem, those manipulations become faster and far more precise. In theory jurda parem is just a stimulant like its ordinary cousin, but it seems to sharpen and hone a Grisha’s senses. Things become possible that simply shouldn’t be. 

KAZ: What does it do to sorry sobs like you and me?

[VAN ECK is marginally offended to be aligned with KAZ]

VAN ECK: It’s lethal. An ordinary mind cannot tolerate parem in even the lowest doses.

KAZ: You said you gave it to three Grisha. What can the others do?

VAN ECK: Here

[He begins to open one of his desk drawers and KAZ raises his pistol slightly]

KAZ: Easy

[VAN ECK opens the drawer with exaggerated slowness and pulls out a lump of gold the size of his palm]

VAC ECK: This started as lead.

KAZ: Like hell it did.

[VAN ECK shrugs]

VAN ECK: I can only tell you what I saw. The Fabrikator took a piece of lead in his hands, and moments later we had this.

KAZ: How do you even know it's real?

VAN ECK: It was the same melting point as gold, the same weight, the same malleability. If it’s not identical to gold in every way the difference has eluded us.

[He holds it out for KAZ to take]

VAN ECK: Have it tested, if you like. 

[KAZ inspects the gold for a moment, then slips it into his pocket. He’s decided that even if it's an imitation, it's convincing enough for him to find it a purpose]

KAZ: You could’ve gotten that anywhere.

VAN ECK: I would bring you Hoede’s Fabrikator here to show you himself, but he isn’t well.

[KAZ glances at MIKA again, and the camera once more notes his sickly pallor and the dark circles beneath his eyes]

KAZ: Let’s say this is all real and not cheap coin trick magic. What does it have to do with me?

VAN ECK: Perhaps you heard of the Shu paying off the entirety of their debt to Kerch with a sudden influx of gold? The assassination of the trade ambassador from Novyi Zem? The theft of documents from a military base in Ravka?

[KAZ nods. He is glad to know the secret of the Zemeni Ambassador’s death and remembers JESPER talking about the three Shu ships filled with gold. Although he has heard nothing of the Ravkan documents, he doesn’t want VAN ECK to know that and so acts as if he is more than aware]

VAN ECK: We believe that all of these occurrences are the work of Grisha under the control of the Shu government and under the influence of jurda parem. Mr Brekker, I want you to think for a moment about what I’m telling you: Men who can walk through walls. No vault or fortress will ever be safe again. People who can make gold from lead - or anything else for that matter - who can alter the very material of the world. Financial markets will be thrown into chaos, the world economy would collapse.

KAZZ: Very exciting. What is it you want from me, Van Eck? To steal a shipment? The formula?

VAN ECK: No. I want you to steal the man.

KAZ: Kidnap Bo Yul-Bayur?

VAN ECK: Save him. A month ago we received a message from Yul-Bayur begging for asylum, he was concerned about his government’s plans for jurda parem, and we agreed to help him defect. We set up a rendez-vous, but there was a skirmish at the drop point.

KAZ: With the Shu?

VAN ECK: With Fjerdans.

[KAZ raises an eyebrow - the Fjerdans must have spies deep in Shu Han or Kerch, or both]

VAN ECK: The diplomatic situation is somewhat delicate, and it is essential that our government not be tied to Yul-Bayur in any way.

KAZ: You have to know he’s probably dead. Fjerdans hate Grisha; there’s no way they’d let knowledge of this drug get out.

VAN ECK: Our sources say he’s very much alive and that he’s awaiting trial.

[VAN ECK clears his throat]

VAN ECK: At the Ice Court.

[KAZ stares at him for a moment, then bursts out laughing]

KAZ: Well, it’s been a pleasure being knocked unconscious and taken caprice by you Van Eck - you can assure your hospitality will be repaid when the time is right. Have one of your lackeys show me to the door.

VAN ECK: We’re prepared to offer you five million kruge.

[KAZ pockets the stadwatch officer’s pistol. He is no longer afraid for his life, but he’s furious to have had his time wasted so tremendously]

KAZ: This may come as a surprise to you, Van Eck, but we canal rats value our lives just as much as you do yours.

VAN ECK: Ten million.

KAZ: There’s no point to a fortune I won’t be alive to spend. Where’s my hat? Did your Tidemaker leave it behind in the alley?

[KAZ begins to walk towards the door and the camera follows behind him]

VAN ECK: Twenty.

[KAZ pauses, and slowly lifts his head - an image mimicking that of season one of Shadow and Bone when he heard the offer of one million kruge. He turns slowly to face VAN ECK]

INEJ voiceover, a reminder of what she told him in Scene Three: Greed is your god, Kaz.

KAZ: Twenty million kruge?

KAz voicover from Scene Three: Greed bows to me. 

[VAN ECK nods, but he doesn’t look happy about having raised the offer so much higher]

KAZ: I’d need to convince a team to walk into a suicide mission - that doesn’t come cheap.

VAN ECK: Twenty million kruge is hardly cheap.

KAZ: The Ice Court has never been breached. 

VAN ECK: That’s why we need you, Mr Brekker. It’s possible Bo Yul-Bayur is already dead, or that he’s given up his secrets to Fjerdans, but we think we have at least a little time to act before jurda parem is put into play. 

KAZ: If the Shu have the formula-

VAN ECK: Yul-Bayur claimed he’d managed to keep the specifics secret - we believe they’re limiting from whatever limited supply he left behind. 

[KAZ has already started thinking about the job, and who he’ll need on his team - and what he’ll be able to do with the money. He pauses, and frowns]

KAZ: Why me? Why the Dregs? There are more experienced crews out there.

[MIKA has a sudden coughing fit, and VAN ECK helps him into a chai and offers him his handkerchief. He snaps his fingers at one of the guards]

VAN ECK: Some water

[The guard exits]

[cavydude]

Lol I just realized that poll is under the "expand" in a text post... might he why it didn't get too many responses lol

Either way, seems like there's enough interest in a limited randomizer with what we can edit that I think I'll get started on that.

That said, we're inching very close to figuring out how to hack these scripts that if we figure out how to modify them it blows a whole bunch of the game wide open. Or at least we'll be able to do treasure chests and possibly quest magnus sources.

[thefeyreblogs]

Hello lovelies. I'm sick and going to ramble. And it most likely won't make sense!

Hello and welcome, it has been awhile!

I want to start off and just open the doors wide open, if.. IF You catch the summer bug of 2025, DO NOT PLAY AROUND. Go to the Dr/Clinic/ER before you get severely dehydrated like I did!

That being said. Let's continue with something I have been noticing, at least with myself, and I suspect with the fandom in general, although I could be, so very, very wrong here.

The Stages of Simping:

Level One. Introduction.

Oh hey, Sans/Papyrus/Ect is an awesome character that I relate to well and I adore their character design, moral code (or lack there of), and ect.

You are fine here. This is the realm of the classic timeline. You are safe here, everyone has a script and they follow it.

It does not last.

Level Two: Introductions to AUs

Oh wow! You mean there are more stories?! How many more? Infinite?! Wowie Zowie Batman! What about one where they swap personalities? Really?! Oh oh, what if everyone was a massive edgelord? OH SPIKEY! And what if..

Sit back and enjoy the ride, start trying to pick a favorite now. It will change, frequently.

Danger LV: -1

Level Three: The Darker AUs

Sometimes, people skip straight to Level three and don't look back. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE.

Unless you like murder hobos, then go for it.

Here we find the Killer fans, Horror Fans, ect.

It's getting bumpy, folks.

Danger LV: 5

Level Four: Where are your gods now?

This is the point of no return. Welcome to the realm of the gods. Where you find Reaper, Nightmare, Dream, Ink, Error, and so forth.

The shipping wars have begun.

Everyone has a favorite OTP and NTP and they shall be VERY vocal about it.

Unless they're cool like you, you are cool aren't you? Yeah you're cool. Good on you, Broski. (I mentioned I am sick while writing this and a cold comfort has been fics where Fresh has been popping up a lot, get used to it)

Self ship fan art and fanfiction is in full swing, no harm no foul.

You are deep into the fandom however, you have merch, you are part of a social media or seven, devoted to this fandom, you are reading this post, you are hearing it in your favorite character's voice, you are one with the AUs and the Balance must be kept.

Danger LV: 50

Level Five: Creation Begins Again.

Ink loves you. Error Hates you.

How many AUs do you have sitting in your brain, or a folder, waiting to be finished?

How many polls have you voted in? Did your favorite win or are you hoping for next year?

You start to question why certain things are just accepted in the fandom as canon or if there is a key root back to the source material.

How many times have you played the game? Do you start a new one on each device, and picture it as a new AU so you can give the monsters in that particular AU a happy ending?

Have you created an imaginary Parlor or Lounge for people to request spicy or comfort time with their favorite characters?

Do you have a rotating background of SO MUCH DAMN FANART so you can always minimize anything and get that dopamine fix?

You are in too deep now.

You are reading into histories and lore dumps. You know more about Nightmare's crew than you do about your best friend. You dream of having that damn Isekai moment and waking up in a world where all this is real.

And you are a massive simp.

Welcome. to Undertale (nearly typed that tell) Hell. You are here, you are one of us.

Alllllsssoo..

Yeah a big part of this fandom is toxic as HELL, but there are a lot of awesome people here. Sit back, stay out of flame wars, enjoy the art and stories, and have a good time.

You're not going anywhere for a good long ti.. Is that the Fnaf Daycare them? I'll... brb!

Danger LV: How do I make a damn infinity symbol?!

This was all one massive joke, please do not take me seriously. Ever.

Choosing the Right Tools for Test Automation Framework

Choosing the Right Tools for Test Automation Framework Selecting the right tools is pivotal for the success of your test automation framework. 

Here are key considerations and recommendations: 

Technology Stack Compatibility Ensure the tool aligns with the technologies used in your application. 

For example: Web Applications: Selenium, Cypress, Playwright. Mobile 

Applications: Appium, Espresso, XCUITest. 

API Testing: Postman, SoapUI, RestAssured. 

If your stack involves multiple platforms (e.g., web, mobile, APIs), consider a hybrid tool like Katalon Studio. 

2. Ease of Integration Choose tools that integrate seamlessly with your CI/CD pipeline and version control systems like Git. 

Tools with plugins for Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps are highly recommended. 

3. Community Support and Documentation Open-source tools like Selenium and Appium have large communities and abundant resources, making troubleshooting easier. 

Commercial tools like TestComplete or Ranorex often come with robust customer support. 

4. Budget Considerations Open-source tools (e.g., Selenium, Cypress) are cost-effective but require more customization. Licensed tools (e.g., TestComplete, Tosca) offer ready-made solutions and support but come at a higher cost. 

5. Future-Readiness Opt for tools with AI/ML capabilities for predictive analytics and self-healing scripts, such as Testim or Tricentis Tosca. Cloud-based tools like BrowserStack and LambdaTest are excellent for scaling and remote testing. 

Integrating CI/CD for Continuous Testing CI/CD integration ensures your test automation framework delivers fast feedback and supports continuous testing in agile environments. 

Setting Up the Pipeline Use tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or CircleCI to create automated pipelines for build, test, and deployment. 

Define stages in the pipeline: 

Build: Compile the code and dependencies.

 Test: Execute automated tests (unit, integration, functional). Deploy: Deploy to a staging or production environment. 

2. Triggering Automated Tests Trigger test executions on specific events such as code commits, pull requests, or scheduled intervals. 

Use webhooks or polling mechanisms to integrate the test framework with the CI/CD server. 

3. Parallel and Cross-Browser Testing Configure parallel test execution to reduce overall runtime. Use tools like Selenium Grid, BrowserStack, or LambdaTest for cross-browser and cross-device compatibility testing. 

4. Reporting and Notifications Integrate reporting tools like Allure, Extent Reports, or native CI/CD plugins for detailed test results. Configure notifications through Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email to alert teams about test outcomes. 

5. Version Control Integration Store test scripts, test data, and configuration files in a version control system (e.g., Git). Use branching strategies (e.g., GitFlow) to manage test framework updates in sync with application development. 

6. Scalability and Reliability Leverage containerization tools like Docker to create consistent test environments. 

Use Kubernetes for managing test workloads at scale in large projects. By choosing the right tools and integrating CI/CD effectively, your test automation framework can deliver reliable, scalable, and efficient testing across the development lifecycle.

Unveiling the Trials of Excelling in Selenium Automation

In the domain of software testing and quality assurance, automation has emerged as a pivotal force, ensuring efficiency, precision, and agility throughout the development cycle. Among the myriad of automation tools at our disposal, Selenium stands as a beacon for web application testing. Nevertheless, mastering Selenium automation presents its own array of hurdles, necessitating unwavering commitment, expertise, and a profound comprehension of both the tool and the underlying technologies. If you aspire to conquer Selenium for automated testing and web scraping, enrolling in a Selenium Course in Pune can furnish you with the indispensable skills to confront its inherent challenges. In this discourse, we embark on an exploration of the intricacies involved in mastering Selenium automation, shedding light on the obstacles encountered by testers and developers along this expedition.

Understanding Selenium:

Before delving into the challenges, let’s first gain a concise understanding of Selenium and elucidate why it garners widespread adoption within the industry. Selenium serves as an open-source tool employed for automating web browsers across diverse platforms. It furnishes a suite of tools and libraries tailored for automating web applications for testing purposes. With its support for multiple programming languages including Java, Python, C#, and more, Selenium offers flexibility and adaptability, catering to a myriad of project requirements.

Challenges Encountered:

Dynamic Element Locators:

A fundamental challenge in Selenium automation pertains to navigating dynamic element locators. Web applications frequently encompass elements whose attributes such as ID, name, or XPath may undergo dynamic alterations upon page reloads or interactions. Devising robust and dependable locators capable of withstanding such alterations necessitates meticulous deliberation and comprehension of the application’s structure and behavior.

Synchronization Issues:

Synchronization dilemmas arise when the automation script executes actions at a pace exceeding the responsiveness of the web application, resulting in erratic and unreliable test outcomes. Exercising patience for elements to become visible, clickable, or for specific events to transpire is imperative for synchronizing automation scripts with the application’s behavior. Implementing efficacious synchronization strategies such as implicit and explicit waits is imperative for mitigating these issues.

Cross-Browser Compatibility:

Ensuring the compatibility and consistency of web applications across different browsers and versions is paramount. However, each browser may interpret and render web elements disparately, engendering disparities in test results. Mastering Selenium automation entails crafting scripts that are robust and adaptable enough to seamlessly execute across multiple browsers, warranting thorough testing and debugging.

Handling Asynchronous Behavior:

Modern web applications heavily rely on asynchronous JavaScript to augment interactivity and responsiveness. Grappling with asynchronous behavior poses a significant challenge for Selenium testers as it mandates waiting for AJAX requests, animations, or dynamic content to load before executing actions or assertions. Employing techniques such as polling, explicit waits, or leveraging Selenium’s built-in features like WebDriverWait is imperative for effectively managing asynchronous behavior.

Maintenance of Test Suites:

As applications evolve and undergo alterations, maintaining and updating existing test suites becomes an arduous endeavor. Test scripts may succumb to breakages owing to UI modifications, functionality enhancements, or code refactoring, necessitating vigilant monitoring and upkeep. Embracing a modular and maintainable test architecture, implementing version control, and periodically reviewing and refining test code are indispensable practices for ensuring the durability and sustainability of Selenium test suites.

Limited Support for Non-Web Elements:

While Selenium excels in automating web-based interactions, its efficacy diminishes when tasked with automating non-web elements such as desktop applications, mobile apps, or APIs. Integrating Selenium with other tools or frameworks such as Appium for mobile automation or REST-assured for API testing may be imperative for attaining end-to-end test coverage within intricate software ecosystems.

Test Data Management:

Effective management of test data is pivotal for executing comprehensive test scenarios and ensuring adequate coverage. However, generating and maintaining test data sets, particularly for large-scale applications, can prove to be a formidable challenge. Test data may necessitate randomization, parameterization, or extraction from external databases, warranting sophisticated data management strategies and frameworks to streamline the testing process.

Overcoming the Challenges:

Mastering Selenium automation is undeniably an uphill journey, yet with the right approach and resources, these challenges can be surmounted:

Continuous Learning and Skill Development: Remaining abreast of the latest advancements in Selenium and associated technologies through Selenium Online Course, tutorials, and community forums is imperative for augmenting proficiency and staying ahead in the field.

Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing: Engaging with peers, participating in online communities, and attending industry conferences foster knowledge sharing and impart valuable insights into best practices and emerging trends in Selenium automation.

Robust Test Design and Architecture: Devoting time to designing scalable, maintainable, and reusable test frameworks tailored to the specific needs of the project minimizes maintenance overhead and amplifies the reliability and efficiency of automation scripts.

Comprehensive Testing Strategy: Integrating Selenium automation with other testing approaches such as unit testing, API testing, and performance testing facilitates comprehensive test coverage, enabling the identification of defects early in the development lifecycle and ensuring the overall quality of the software product.

Automation Infrastructure Setup: Establishing a robust automation infrastructure encompassing CI/CD pipelines, version control systems, and test management tools streamlines the execution and management of automated tests, fostering collaboration and efficiency within the development team.

Conclusion:

Mastering Selenium automation epitomizes a voyage that demands resilience, dedication, and a readiness to confront challenges and glean insights from setbacks. By comprehending the nuances of Selenium, embracing best practices, and harnessing the abundant resources available within the testing community, testers and developers can transcend obstacles and harness the full potential of automation to deliver high-quality software products that resonate with the exigencies of today’s dynamic and competitive market landscape.

Rust Compiler Performance Triage

This week the good outweighed the bad. In particular, we had three different PRs that made improvements to a wide range of benchmarks. Special call out to PR #111026, which yielded 3% to 8% improvement for incremental compile times on a large set of benchmarks, by avoiding unnecessary caching in the type checker.

Triage done by @pnkfelix. Revision range: fdeef3ed..a368898d

Quote of the Week

Since it hasn't been said before, there is an important distinction that needs to be addressed. For anyone who has been doing embedded work for any length of time and hasn't yet been exposed to Rust, the only thing that can really be said is that the language is entirely unlike everything you've experienced before. There is just nothing comparable, and the only way to rationalize questions like why use Rust at all is to put some honest effort into learning and using it.

Hearing things like "it's a bit like C++ except it's memory safe and thread safe, and it's actually practical to build kernels with it" will not sound convincing. You have to see it to believe it.

It's as if you've spent an entire career writing assembly, and one day you hear something or other about a brand-new programming language claiming to be a "portable assembler" called C. It sounds too good to be true. And then the years pass, and all of the mystery and disbelief gives way to obviousness and precision engineering. That's sort of how it is when going from C to Rust.

– Jay Oster

[discordhelp]

hey, everyone! per request, @discordhelp​ is here to present another template, this time for multimuse discord groups. this particular layout is based on all the multimuse servers i’ve been in & kind of meshing them together. there are many channels copied over from our other group server template, but below the cut, you can read suggested usage for the categories & channels that were added!

you can access the template here or in the source link! please like or reblog this post if you plan on using the template. and of course, our inbox is always open if you have any questions or need help with anything we make.

ROLES: this template comes with two standard roles, admins & members. anyone assigned with the admin role automatically receives administrator permission & will be displayed separately from their members when online. other roles we suggest to add are as follows — bots, pronouns, timezones, character name/skeleton.

* ✶  WHERE TO START

welcome: a channel where new members automatically arrive in

announcements: this can be used for admin announcements, polls, & interest checks

introductions: a space for new members to introduce themselves, typically with the following — name, age, pronoun, timezone, muse

* ✶  ABOUT THE ROLEPLAY

premise: a brief summary of the roleplay can be placed here  

locations: providing a list of locations can broaden what type of interactions may happen in the roleplay, plus it adds to the lore & aesthetic if the setting is completely fictional

* ✶  CAST OF CHARACTERS

masterlist: given this particular layout, this channel is definitely optional. and i’d say that in order to make the best use out of it ( of course, depending on the rp ), you can split the muses up by neighborhood, coven, job, fandom, etc. otherwise, this is where you can list all the muses within the roleplay, as well as any npcs you may have

banned: a channel to list faceclaims that aren’t allowed in the roleplay

application: meant to be used for established members to apply for other muses, but alternatively, this can be used for new members to apply within the server

wanted: a place where members can submit wanted connections for their muses

established: a place where members can list / describe any current established connections

dropped: a place for announcing characters & faceclaims that have been dropped & reopened

* ✶  OUT OF CHARACTER

questions: an optional channel allowing members to ask admins questions without breaking up the flow of the regular chat

rp commentary: a place where members can talk about in character interactions, which helps rp engagement

mun updates: this is a channel where members can pop in & post a brief life status update, typically used for those who can’t get to replies that day

the funnies: a channel for memes, happy things, videos, etc

ROLE CALL: under this category, you can list all the muns in the roleplay & within their respective channel, they can post their muses’ stats / small bios & pin them for easy access.

THIS REMINDED ME OF YOU: under this category, you can list all the muses in the roleplay & within their respective channel, muns can post musings, songs, & headcanons related to their muses.

FLIP THE SCRIPT: this is where all threads will go! i suggest, for organizational purposes, to have your members alphabetize the muses’ names so it looks tidy & not out of place.

ONE WORD ANSWERS: same as above, but for text messages!

I am just wondering, what is going to happen if it gets revealed that Nick was really telling the truth? Because it means that Netflix + ST writers shat on an innocent man and tarnished his image... in order to stop the fans from getting scripts and Nick was attacked for no reason. I mean? It's a very bad thing to do to someone... and I honestly do not know if I can respect the writers after such a thing. Do not get me wrong, I like ST but it kinda would destroy things for me if Nick was treated like shit due to that tweet from the writers.

I don't really think Nick's scripts will be revealed to be true. I'm really on the fence about scriptgate and sometimes I believe that his source provided him early drafts, but I change my opinion a lot because there's so many things that don't add up. The craziest thing for me was Nick's behavior with his tweets after the writers' statement. He was insulting and blocking random people, but it didn't sound like himself at all. Maybe he was hacked?? Idrk.

So while I don't believe they are completely true scripts, I'm not totally closed off to the possibility of them being kind of real. This is partly because when the writers posted snippets of their scripts, they did polls on Wednesdays and then waited 2 whole days to post the scripts. That always made me wonder why would they need so much time if they needed to just post them? Maybe they were modifying things to avoid spoilers but we'll never know.

As for what I think would happen if Nick's scripts turned out to be true, I hope that in that case what happened was that the writers contacted Nick in private and then posted their statement claiming all scripts were fake. They never addressed 8flix specifically on their tweet, they said every script online, so it seems to me like a very calculated strategy to avoid spoilers while at the same time trying to not trash on his site on the open. So maybe they asked Nick to take them down in private, but since everyone associated the tweet with Nick they started coming at him and after the blacklash he decided to take down 8flix.

So I really hope that there was a private agreement between Netflix and Nick, because if it's like you said and they trashed on him only to avoid spoilers, then yeah, that would be a pretty shitty thing to do

[supercorp-hosie]

Thank you for answering my question, and I noticed how you said the writers are still going with Handon but in my personal opinion I think that ship has wrecked because apparently Julie Plec left the show and the writing the script for it, now for Hosie I actually do believe that at some point they will start to date just to give the Hosie shippers some desert for that, but I don’t think they’ll be endgame in the end like how Damon and Elena were. I loved how you described Holarke and how you said they can really balance each other out it makes sense. I also have a deep feeling that Holarke will eventually be endgame in the end of the show but who knows I could be wrong. :)

Thank you for asking and enjoying it♥️ oh you’ve no idea how much I wish that I’m wrong about the Handon thing. I’ll gladly receive that prove 🤣

Yes, they’re wrecked but the writers always are able to miraculously bring back Landon, having those big mistakes he did conveniently justified where other characters just have to suck it up, and bear the consequences (like ripper MG and Dark Josie). As you can see, they even undo the seemingly irredeemable breakup, and everything MaliLandon did here, cannot be accountable by Landon, because while ripper MG and Dark Josie is part of who they are, MaliLandon isn’t. Even Hope doesn’t have such privileges, you know? Like what she did in 308, as events unveiled now, her actions are totally not justifiable. Whereas can you think of any big mistakes that Landon made are not justifiable? I can’t. There’s someone saying that on Twitter that Brett confirmed that Landon is his self-insert....I don’t go on Twitter I couldn’t verify the source, so I may be very wrong about that. Who knows? From what I saw in 316, it’s the whole Legacies telling us Handon is totally rebooting. I have my two ships telling me that Landon is the one for Hope, very deliberately.

Who knows, maybe you’re right? Anyway, I just don’t trust the writers to be professional enough to set up two relationships starting and breaking up in the time span of nearly end of 4b and the whole season 5.

In the professional perspective, I have to say that Matt Davis is more professional than the writers. As we can see just how much the writers hate Alaric, his characters is all over the place and a joke, my bet that’s because their hate for Matt make such writing results to Alaric. On the other hand, while Matt is totally one who deserves the hate from the public, he does his work professionally, he did what he got from the script with respect. Alaric deserves better writing regardless of the how unpopular the actor is to the public. And here we thought the writers out of all people would know the differences between actors and characters.

All in all, I just don’t think that the writers and the producers themselves are professional and open-minded enough to do the right thing for the majority of the fandom. They are proven to be stubborn and unprofessional, so no expectations at all. (Buzzfeed poll does reveal that only 7% of the fandom actually love Handon)

Blue Host and Fantastico go so well together that they lend themselves to all sorts of timeless comparisons: Burns and Allen, Astaire and Rogers, Peanut Butter and Jelly or, more relevantly, MySQL and PHP. Blue Host is the web host, Fantastico is the feature; together, they can help you make your website do all sorts of incredible things. Fantastico (full name: Fantastico Deluxe) is the leading auto-installer for servers using the cPanel control panel. Blue Host uses the cPanel control panel and therefore BlueHost servers support the Fantastico auto-installer. With Fantastico, you can install scripts onto your Blue Host website even if you’re a total novice — no setting up of a MySQL database necessary, and no downloading files or changing permissions. By logging in to your Blue host cPanel and clicking on the big blue smiley-face Fantastico icon (no kidding), you will be able to instantly install any number of useful scripts onto your website by simply clicking on the script, and then clicking Install. With Fantastico, you can install multiple instances of scripts in add-on domains, sub-domains, and top-level directories of your BlueHost-hosted website. When logged in to your Blue Host cPanel, with the Fantastico window opened you can also learn in an instant whenever an update has been released for a script you have installed onto your website. What do we mean by scripts? Scripts enable you to add functionality, versatility, and interactivity to your Bluehost-hosted websites, right down to your Customer Support Services. Some of the most common and popular Fantastico scripts include: – Blogs (b2evolution, Nucleus, PMachine Free, WordPress) – Customer Support (Crafty Syntax Live Help, Help Center Live, osTicket, PHP Support Tickets, Support Logic Helpdesk, Support Services Manager) – Discussion boards (phpBB2, SMF) – eCommerce (CubeCart, OS Commerce, Zen Cart) – FAQs (FAQMasterFlex) – Image Galleries (4Images Gallery, Coppermine Photo Gallery, Gallery 2.0) – Mailing Lists (PHPlist) – Portals/CMA (Drupal, Geeklog, Joomla, Mambo Open Source, PHP-Nuke, phpWCMS, phpWebSite, Post-Nuke, Siteframe, Typo3, Xoops) – Project Management (dotProject, PHProjekt) – Site Builders (Templates Express) – Surveys/Polls (Advanced Poll, phpESP, PHPSurveyor), Wiki (PhpWiki, TikiWiki) – Miscellaneous (Dew-NewPHPLinks, Moodle, Noah’s Classifieds, Open-Realty, PhpAdsNew, PHPauction, phpCOIN, phpFormGenerator, WebCalendar) It is important to keep in mind that while BlueHost supports Fantastico, and even has a sizable section on Fantastico in the Bluehost knowledgebase, Blue Host does not offer support for the individual scripts available using Fantastico. Therefore, once you install the scripts onto your Bluehost account, you should make note of the official website associated with each script you’re using so you can refer to it for specific script-related questions, issues, and tips.

Hello! I super appreciate this blog! Also so like. If I could ask for some advice if you have time. There’s a lady I know (she’s progressive leaning so like ???). She was like ‘Bernie always makes excuses for his losses’ and it’s like. How does she believe supporting sanitation workers, fuck billionaires, etc but also milquetoast conservadems? Like she honestly doesn’t think Bernie can beat Trump? I have literally zero clue what to think or how to respond to that? Thanks! S

Whew boy. I kinda sorta wanna outsource this for someone else to answer, like maybe @politicalsci or maybe @politijohn

BUT.....

Before I do that, I just want to say that when the 2016 primaries rolled around, my aunts were initially going to vote for Clinton, but I talked to them for about 15min outside of the polling place just telling them about Sanders. I even showed them a youtube video of all the stuff Bernie has been right about for the last 30 plus years. My aunts aren’t dumb, and they aren’t easily swayed once they’ve made up their minds ...... but at that point in time, they hadn’t even heard of Bernie Sanders. And I was able to convince them that Sanders was a stronger candidate against Trump and they cast their primary ballots for him.

I’m hesitant to dole out advice here because if you want to convince your friend on a personal level, there’s things about your friend and her personality that only you know - so the convo that you’re going to have might need to take on a whole different flavor than me talking to my black, over 50yrs old aunties.

I’ll be 36 this year and two things stood out to me back in 2016: all of my family and friends who were roughly 35 and under were already Sanders supporters, and they didn’t watch a lot of MSNBC. As that age gap increased, so did their support for “establishment” (aka corporate) Democrats and they were more likely to ... not be news/politics junkies like me, but they definitely were also heavier watchers of MSNBC for their source of news.

(hint: MSNBC is the neoliberal/centrist arm of the DNC, if you don’t know)

Anyway, please forgive me for not taking a minute to scoure through your blog to answer this question, but Idk if you’re white or a NBPoC. If you are, that conversation might look much more different than mine went four years ago. And if your friend is over 35 and financially well off, then there’s another variation. iMho, older people generally seem to have had the hope beaten out of them? And now they’re just happy to “pragmatically” conform to the status quo?

If I could give you one or two pieces of advice, it would be this:

1) try phone banking for Sanders. I did it for the last Democratic primaries, and it gave me sooo much practice for talking extemporaneously to a wide assortment of people from different backgrounds than mine. They give you a script to work from, but after the 30th or 40th call, you basically have it memorized and can start riffing. You need to hear the “No” people without interrupting bc it helps you overall in refuting anti-Sanders arguments you will hear again. Once you’re really comfortable with the calls, maybe let your friend watch you make some calls? It might be an eye opener for her.

2) listen to news sources other than CNN, WNYC and MSNBC. And get them to listen to other outlets. Actual progressive outlets are out there, but they’re a bit harder to find because they aren’t as well funded as their (neo)liberal counterparts. I don’t always agree with them, but I’m currently listening to Brie Joy on Twitter, AOC, Nina Turner, Thom Hartmann, Tim Black, David Packman, and Ben Dixon. (I know I’m leaving out many others, but your ask caught me off guard. Just be sure to include balance - the sources shouldn’t be all male, nor should they be all white). If your friend is like a lot of “progressives,” then she probably watches a ton of MSNBC. If you can’t turn her off from that bad habit, then maybe you can watch with her and point out their constant anti-Sanders bias?

3) make it personal and keep it personal. I don’t mean that you should start name calling or anything, but what I dO mean is this: if you have a personal connection with this person, then you have a better chance of convincing them.

4) Finally, you might just have to accept that you may not be able to change her mind. And that’s okay too. Free country ‘nshit right? Sometimes we need to know when to cut bait.

Anyway, good luck. Please get back with me and let me know how it goes.

Sorry to be so long winded.
