😢 where are my old friends now, I wonder.

I have some gripes against DateTime.diff argument order, but my biggest, and it's not #Elixir-specific is using word `filter` when one means `keep`.

In engineering, they say "filter" and specify *what particles it filters out*! Why do we speicfy which objects do we want to keep instead?!

Why not call it `keep`? :D

Oh hi, @dch! Loved your `ETOOJAVA`!

Why is it socially unacceptable to have certain set of meaningful activities one participates in with their dates / partners? For example, I love coworking dates or boardgame exchange dates. Gladly, most people I date understand that it's normal, but I have a strong setiment from many people which can be exemplified as follows:

— You do fun projects with all your dates! You're such a weirdo.

vs

— You go to restaurants with all your dates! You're so normal.

Opinions?

Remember #dungeon23?

I'm currently writing an OSE module that I plan to release some time this year. And sometimes I need new cool spells to make sure that a single "big-bad" can hold their ground against the party.

May I present you "dreamwoven image", the mirror image's big brother. Pair with #Dolmenwood's Dream Vapours for some TPK action.

Getting out of #magic24 slump by drafting everything except for white in #MKM.

I'm very happy that I've stumbled upon the idea of virtual card advantage before Alex and Sam have educated the masses about it.

Bombs don't matter, I was winning without bombs. The key is Vitu Ghazi Inspectors, a ton of self-mill from the leech, panthers, split card and even gorehound and edicts!
I only resolved Izani twice and didn't win both games 😄

Wasn't impressed with Hustle // Bustle in this deck at all, probably a Faerie would have been stronger. I think so even though I have attacked with Bustle for lethal once.

`tap` is one of my favorite #Elixir functions. I implemented it myself in my #Uptight functools, but then a colleague of mine told me that it's already in #Kernel.

Documentation: https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/1.12.3/Kernel.html#tap/2

Code: https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/blob/v1.12.3/lib/elixir/lib/kernel.ex#L1160

#Erlang #OTP is addictive! ❤️

PSA: #VintageCube on #MTGO is currently fake (single player).

#dialyzer is not stupid, you are stupid.

It's an absolute insanity to prototype code without types.

That includes #ElixirLang. Using #Dialyzer should be chapter 1 of any modern Elixir tutorial.

#magic24 got weird. I went 1-3 1-3 0-3 1-3 the some days ago, but today and yesterday got two 4-3 finishes. In gold league... But I again get placed against platinum players now. I think I have a solid grasp on the format.

One of the key gameplay outtakes is that not being greedy with strong unmasking triggers and making sure you're being mana-efficient is very important.

For example, if you're the beatdown, there is no reason not to, say, crack a clue and play Concealed Weapon turn 4 instead of playing the Weapon and wasting 1 mana.

Was one non-flooded game away from going 3-0 with this.

2-1 on the draw vs detectives (remove key threats, stall, win with Performer. In: Rage, out: Leech),
1-2 on the draw vs big Disguise (RG Performer, got flooded, so not representative. On the draw In: Macabre Reconstruction, Out: Informant. On the play: In: 2-drop, Out: Informant),
2-1 on the draw vs UW tempo (play around counterspells, force them to tap out, win with huge Robbery. No changes).

Notably, I probably misbuilt this and should've ran Alley Assailant main deck instead of the second copy of the Informant.
