Queueing an activity to begin after travel ends is one of my most anticipated “nice to haves”. Looks like a lot of other QoL here too, awesome!

It’s because of the ability to trade items with other players. Any exploit that affected item drops or crafting creates the potential to upend the entire global market in the game, affecting the experience of many other players who might play mostly alone but will often look to the market to trade for items they need.

The video game that taught me how good video games could be. I still replay it every few years.

The words you said aren’t wrong, but in this context it seems like you’re suggesting that the honey in tea might have a similar effect when consumed. That’s not at all supported by this study. Much of honey’s antimicrobial effects are (1) due to its high sugar concentration, and (2) in reference to topical applications. Those conditions don’t exist here.

Can we talk about how utterly absurd it is that there isn’t an obvious answer to this question yet? Feels like we’ve gone backwards from the AIM Direct Connect of old.

There are feeler gauges in loads of these pictures.

Looks like that config info might be defined in this script

RE your edit: I also support that conclusion and I’m glad you’ll give it a shot yourself. A mindset that helps me is this: commenting is part of the iterative code writing process. When I’m struggling to put a concise and understandable comment above some code, it almost universally means that there’s something about the code itself I should arrange more clearly. This is your chance to do some rubber ducking, it’s valuable to both you and the next person to read your code!

I never put that together!

I had a similar trajectory to you in my early languages. Then I decided I wanted to have at least one more performant language under my belt so that I didn’t have to hit everything at work with the good old Python hammer. I also wanted to be able to easily ship binary packages for multiple platforms, so I wanted something compiled.

I looked at C, in which tons of my favorite small but powerful utilities were written. But there are so many niceties you can get in more modern languages. I spent a few weeks each learning Rust & Go, and found the latter much easier to work with. I felt like I was able to “think in Go” and never quite got there with Rust. I’m sure many people feel just the opposite, but that’s kind of the point. There are so many choices out there and any “mainstream” language would be fine for you to learn.

As someone else mentioned, the best thing you can do are work on your programming fundamentals which often transcend language. But if you want to put yourself in a position to have some of those fundamentals enforced, consider a strongly typed, compiled language which gives good feedback during development.
