MonoGame is stable and still receiving updates.

I would strongly suggest that for quick code-first prototypes. The boiler-plate of "load a texture and render to screen" is quite minimal - you could perhaps make a small library for yourself?

It also has no opinions about how you structure your game data. This means you can represent things like a Flappy Bird clone as just a `Vector2`, rather than having to bash a graph of entities in the shape you want.


CodeWars has a nice Kata grading system that features many intermediate level problems.

> The real answer to all this is to use a provider that supports idempotency keys. Then when you can retry the action repeatedly without it actually happening again. My favorite article on this subject: https://brandur.org/idempotency-keys

Turtles all the way down?

Let's say you are the provider that must support idempotency keys? How should it be done?


Offer 99.something% guaranteed exactly-once-delivery. Compete on number of nines. Charge appropriately.


Is the real Mark Shinwell on here?

Buck 1 used Python directly and it had lots of issues compared to Starlark.


There are. The rhetorical strategy is to argue that Brexit was a good idea, but it has not been implemented properly. Look for the phrases "Brexit means Brexit" and "proper Brexit".


Sounds similar to the things I hear about Communism. It's purportedly the best system… just that no one yet has done it right.


How would you measure these?

- making associations

- generating original ideas

- more perceptive

...

"spatial awareness" I can see though


This is how Debezium works.

It is probably best to use that unless there is a strong reason against.


Concur on this. I always thought that Debezium only supported MySQL binlog since that is the world I operate in. I did not know that it was also an option for Postgres CDC via the WAL. Now that I know, I would recommend defaulting to it.

Even with Debezium I have run into myriad issues. It blows my mind that someone would want to roll their own logic to set up replicas. IMHO this post should be advertised more as a fun intellectual exercise.


The EA / Rationalist / AI Safety crowd tend to think they can overcome these impulses


Smaller is better, of course, but I've never found the size of .NET binaries to be an issue.

What problems does this cause?


If you're trying to pack hundreds of microservices into a cluster, having containers using 80MB of ram minimum instead of 500KB can become a big deal.
