I was referring another comment in the thread, sorry for confusion. The OP attacks both Go and microservices, although it’s no Gos fault in the story.

Also I just hate Java too, and OOP in general.

According to votes, hating Java is bad, but hating microservices is good.

Well, that’s the architecture problem, not the language.

Swap Java and Go in text, then I buy it. Java is memory hungry monstrosity that runs on JVM and idiomatically uses piles of abstractions. I have exactly opposite experience, when rewriting a microservice from Java to Go reduced memory usage tenfold and sped up requests processing.

Hiding the complexity behind nice interfaces makes it actually more difficult to understand programming.

This is a very important point, that most of my colleagues with OOP background seem to miss. They build a bunch of abstractions and then say it’s easy, because we have one liner in calling code, pretending that the rest of the code doesn’t exist. Oh yes, it certainly exists! And needs to be maintained, too.

In Go, the recommended convention for variable name length is to be proportional to their scope. It is common to use one or few letters long variables if they are local to a few lines loop or a short function.

You might enjoy Martha is Dead game on Steam. That is my personally favourite game, which really stirred emotions. My wife tried to play it and got physically sick. Check it out.

There are videos on youtube that sum up main progression from stone to steel.

There are also other topics to learn, like prospecting for ore, leather making (for backpacks), animals handling, bee keeping (if you want lanterns), windmill building (to automate iron processing and as prerequisite for steel), and many more.

Survival hanbook (H key by default) have a lot of info and guides on game mechanics. Otherwise, google videos on certain topics.

It is fun to pass all these milestones and see how your small village grows.

P.S. As for storage, keep food and unprocessed animal hides in storage containers made from clay in cool cellar, bulk resurces (stone, ore nuggets, wood blocks) in crates and everything else in double chests that you can make as soon as you get access to copper (for nails and strips).

Some things like firewood, peat, bricks can be stockpiled right on the floor. Also you can lean tools to the wall or put them on tool racks for convenience. This also adds to an atmosphere of medieval building.

Surprised someone mentioned it. I’m playing it too. Quite captivating game.

When I turn on my PC and can’t decide what I want to play, I launch Balatro. Easy choice.

Rubber duck debugging often helps.

I don’t like being on this picture.

My first was Civ1 and I’ve played hell out of bith 1 and 3. Perhaps feel the same about 3 as you about 5.

I’ve recently convinced my daughter to try Mint on her system. She has GF 1650 and it worked out of the box with propietary Nvidia driver (nothing needed to install additionally, with the option to switch to open source driver). Really, it’s not worse than on Windows.

As hard as plugging in a USB with OS and follow instructions.

The fact that people HAD to learn to use Windows, too. It’s just in the past and appears easy because they already can. If a person used computers with Linux from the start, it would be as easy for them as for Windows users.

Arch heretic here (long time Mint user).

At least with OS you have a choice.
