  • 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.



  • 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.



  • 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.
