That would not be a compile error, but these sorts of issues are why you should also run `go vet` and `golint` for a healthy codebase


Definitely. For example, I was quite disappointed to find that the Blu-ray releases of Neon Genesis Evangelion don’t include the various renditions of “Fly Me to the Moon” over the end credits, though they’re present on the platinum collection DVD release.


I’m sorry for your loss, that’s truly heartbreaking


thank you


Hmm, seems the author forgot to define the seventh flavour.


I think it was used in games like Doom where they tell you at the end of the level, how many secrets you could have found and you did not.


Frustrating. I wonder what it could be :)


And in 8: "A moment when we mentally rope something off forever, resolving not to try it again."


meta!


Clearly his clients believe otherwise, else he wouldn’t have a market


The sentiment is understandable, if you’re a young person just starting your adult life. Capitalism rewards early adopters, and we’re basically in the end-game globally, with most of the capital already concentrated in the upper echelons of power. It would be easy to see that as a fundamental disadvantage if you’re buried under student debt, with no hope of entering the over-inflated housing market, for example.

The advice of the older generations that have prospered under the current economic regime no longer seems to hold true for most young people, so can you blame them for their doubt?


Well, the "spending all my money" part hasn't changed at all, in fact depending on the format you're interested in, that may be the defining characteristic of your experience.

The wholesomeness of Friday Night Magic is highly dependent on what your LGS scene happens to be like though, that part hasn't changed too much.

Magic's player base is bigger and more vibrant than it's ever been, and I think by most metrics Limited (Draft, Sealed) and Casual (e.g. Commander) formats are more fun and accessible than they've ever been before. For older formats like Legacy and Vintage (even Modern to an extent), card availability can present an insurmountable financial obstacle to play, unfortunately.


Well, I've read that it's actually gone a bit down from it's peak (some sketchy estimates put the active player base at 12 million, down from a 20 million peak), as games such as Hearthstone and fatigue eroded the playerbase, but Dominaria did bring some people back and it's on the upswing again - and with the new Hearthstone-like client they might get back to 20 million again.


This Serial Experiments Lain fan site gets passed around a lot. Be careful, it's a bit of a rabbit hole. https://fauux.neocities.org/


Note: [SEIZURE WARNING] I suppose, for those for whom it may apply -- the linked page has a weird moire-like fast-blinking pattern, epileptics be careful.


Can confirm, works for Canadian numbers (same country code, and billed the same on the Twilio side of things afaics)
