If you only need a turn of flash, then Emergence Zone gives all your spells flash this turn for 2 mana. Newer Arlinn can give creature spells flash and create blockers (though day/night makes this inconsistent), Borne Upon a Wind is like Emergence Zone but needs blue, and some other blue cards (including the leyline but also some creatures) can give creature spells flash.

Otherwise, outside of creatures with flash built onto them, you usually aren't playing creatures with flash, but using instants (Collected Company) or abilities (Aether Vial - not on Arena) to put creatures out at instant speed. You might find that uncounterable creatures are almost as effective, but much easier to find (or setup) and higher power than creatures with flash.

Edit: I should add that spirits as an archetype is largely a flash deck and might interest you.

She was played a little in standard, but suffers from a couple problems. On an empty board, she can't protect herself from attacks, and her -2 can miss (and you end up just exiling something random). Giving creatures flash is her most interesting ability in my opinion, but for 3 mana, she doesn't attack or block on her own, and you usually would rather just play a creature instead.

I like her design, but if she had a way to better defend herself, I think she'd see more play. The -2 and static are okay, but there are better things you can play on turn 3 in most decks.

For your goals, I would stick with Python unless you want to learn another language. There's not much value to switch away when all the tools you need are primarily designed for Python.

As far as functional programming goes, with AI stuff, my experience is that you generally are more interested in orchestrating services than FP. For example, run input through model #1, then based on the output, run one of these other 3 models (or multiple of them in parallel), then eventually pass it all back into another service/function to aggregate and format the outputs. You can think of each of these as being "functions", but they're much higher level than what you'd traditionally consider functions in FP and more along the lines of microservices.

You can't go out like that on a regular basis, though.

Absolutely not haha. I've only eaten there once, and while it was good, nothing really beats cooking at home, especially with regards to the budget. Canlis, similar to the other restaurants I mentioned, only really makes sense for very special occasions, and only if your budget allows for it. Everything there can be found for cheaper elsewhere in larger portions, just not all in one place.

I've eaten at 1, 2, and 3 star restaurants and they were all excellent. That being said, most of them were expensive, and I've eaten at plenty of restaurants not on the guide that were also really good.

I think the Michelin guide receives too much attention. I like that there exists a guide for good restaurants, but at the end of the day, that's only Michelin's list. Everyone has different preferences, and a 3-star $1k+ meal at the French Laundry is maybe not going to be as good as a $20 burger combo at a nearby diner for many people.

Since you brought up Canlis - it's good and I'd recommend, but again, it may not be for everyone. There's plenty of cheaper restaurants in the area that you can get just as much enjoyment from without paying as much for a meal. Still, it's a great restaurant for a nice date.

For anyone going through this, see if you can seal your name change. It's more of a pain in the ass, but only certain people can look up that you actually changed your name since it's not made public. This is easier in some places than in others of course, but should be safer.

And stay safe of course.

I'll be honest, I'm not really sure what you're trying to say, but it sounds like cross-compilation to me? The article mentions several different GUI libraries that require dynamic linking and complicated build scripts, so even if you setup rustc to cross-compile (which isn't that hard but is an extra unnecessary step for your run-of-the-mill dev who just wants to get paid), getting the build scripts to cross-compile C++ libraries or testing the cross-compiled binaries with dynamically linked libraries is a pain, assuming your build scripts even let you do that.

All of this is avoidable by building from Windows. Or I guess you can not target Windows. That works too, but most businesses won't see that as an option.

It's a GUI framework evaluation. I would imagine most users of a desktop application with a GUI would be Windows users. It would generally be a little weird to develop a professional product that does not work on Windows (or at least Mac). It's a lot easier to develop that natively than to cross-compile.

Space, apparently.

“We had a pretty great setup for Trump,” Coronado said in an interview with POLITICO Magazine, paraphrasing the thinking on the Street. “Why would he mess with that?”

Who would have seen this coming? Nobody would have guessed he'd go nuts with tariffs. It's completely unpredictable. If only he had said he'd go nuts with tariffs during his campaign. Only then could we have possibly known.

Seriously, are these people that stupid? It really amazes me that someone would be surprised at this point that he'd take a dump on the economy and wipe himself with the constitution.

Have you considered doing it in Rust instead? You can even do the frontend in Rust for extra internet points.

Unexpected Keyboard lets you adjust the vibration when pressing keys, but I don't see any settings for the sound. Otherwise, I got nothing.

These jokes are getting corny. I think it's time to stop horsing around with unicorn jokes.

I hope that school has uni-sex bathrooms to accomodate.

Some of these key findings seem a bit overblown. The number of domains persistently connected to shouldn't really matter - one is enough. Update checks are standard for software. Unique IDs/device fingerprinting are so common that browsers build in ways to try to prevent it at scale. JWTs are standard authentication tools - who's the security concern for? ByteDance? Or are you saying the JWTs are from the local machine? And MessagePack isn't exactly a secret format either.

The TL;DR of this seems to be that ByteDance's AI IDE collects a crazy amount of data and offers free AI services in exchange. I'm not really sure why you'd want those services, especially at the cost of all your code potentially being stolen or other data being collected, but it should be obvious that nothing in this world is truly free.

Nani the fuck?

I'm not sure I agree with their assessment of Standard, but I think what bothers me the most about it is the explosive powercreep in it over the past few years. Current day standard feels a lot like old (pre-MH1) modern, and I guess that was a fun format as well, but it's so high power compared to what standard used to be. There are some cards that contribute a lot to the explosiveness (Monsterous Rage for example), but every card that sees play these days does so many things that it's not even comparable to old standard anymore.

I guess I just wish we could have a lower power format again. It's wild to think today that Divide by Zero got banned in standard just a few years ago.

I'm trying to read up on the differences, but is git switch basically just a newer version of git checkout for changing branches? I haven't had any issues with git checkout before so I'm not sure why it would be an issue.

Doctors can be some of the most discriminatory people, I swear. Diagnosed with anxiety? It's anxiety. Diagnosed with Autism? You wouldn't understand what it is. Are you a woman? It's nothing big.

It took us years of doctor visits until we finally found a doctor outside of our insurance network who spent the time of day to come to the conclusion that my partner's pain and medical issues was most likely a severe case of endometriosis.

Our favorite doctor during that period was one who said they were "in the prime of their womanhood" and that pain is normal. Dang, if it only goes downhill from here, then might as well end it now.

Anyway, I wish all doctors could be like the one who actually spent time to take us seriously and investigate what was going on. It would have saved a lot of money, stress, and pain.

I guess this means FLS is the official spec now? Does that mean people can stop complaining about there being no official spec?

(As far as I'm aware, while FLS was developed to mirror rustc, rustc does not guarantee that it follows FLS, though they might change that after adoption)
