I do not as this is not my expertise. In general though, reaching out to specialty academic/medical units are usually a great first step for pursuing something particularly esoteric.

A number of instances defederated from it because... well, the reason a number of people are here is to not be on Reddit and seeing a mass deluge of content ported from Reddit defeats that purpose. There other other reasons too, like the fact it makes a ton of submissions and each has very few if no comments leading to the impression of a very barren community.

If sandwiches aren't ideal, wraps are also a consideration. Kind of the same idea, but instead of using bread you'd wrap the filling in a whole wheat or flour tortilla.

Omg yes!

Stop asking all the trite personality questions that everyone in the conversation knows is a prepared answer to a prepared question. There is absolutely no sincerity and honesty involved, which absolutely defeats the purpose.

Unless you have a super compelling reason to get sequenced, do not use direct to consumer sequencing services or offerings. In general it's not so much the tech or whatnot that is bad, but rather without being in a position to determine if you have some genetic, prospective genetic screening isn't ideal.

If you feel you have a good reason to be sequenced (eg family history of a kind of cancer, particularly breast and colon), seek out a genetics consult with a genetic counsellor or geneticist at a major hospital or academic center.

This comment isn't to constitute any kind of medical advice. Rather, you are much better served getting sequenced done well.

It's inevitable that these situations would happen, which really exposes how small the tournament organization pool is for Dota2 :/

Yep lemmy.world is live (stress) testing in production. It has its benefits, like when a set of patches were committed to vastly improve performance that was a big problem on a huge instance like lemmy.world but not on the smaller ones, and its downsides with all the random issues that pop up which happen when testing live in production.

Before the looping strategies were functional (i.e. exploiting NP refund with Skadi), 2x Waver + Arash + 30% starting gauge was roughly the best way to 3-turn a lot of event nodes. Z!Fran did a ton of damage making her a great W3 clearer since back in that time there's no practical way to loop.

Wouldn't say favorite, but for a good chunk of time Zerker Frankenstein was a key character on my roster. They did so much damage with their NP and was crucial for so many farming events for their third wave damage when I had nothing else that would've come even close for clear consistency.

Less impactful now with Skadi/Castoria, but in the old days of overworked Waver, Fran was low-key indispensable.

Double check your sort options. For example, if you are a community page in Memmy, select "Top six hours" as your sort option, and there are no submissions in the last six hours, you will not see any submissions.

Since memmy mostly keeps your sort options through views, it's easy to miss this detail.

Yep, notwithstanding the poor tooling on Reddit's end. I don't even think the developer portal was fully functional and ready for production use when the pricing was announced. In fact, Christian had to implement his own API tracking back-end to get a good picture of how many API calls Apollo was making because this information wasn't readily and transparently available from Reddit's developer tools.

Imagine charging for an API but not making it easy for your collaborating developers to know how much of the API they are using and will therefore be billed for.

Generally speaking, responsible stewardship of a service involves a tail of wind-down and end of life support. It gives time for people to adjust to new services and/or set-ups, troubleshoot the transitions, and provide some lingering support while the service is deprecated.

As another example, Christian was willing to try to find a way to make Reddit's new API pricing work, but would likely need a good amount of time (say, maybe 6-8~ months of notice) to be able to refactor the application to minimize API calls, trial out new subscription tiers, and figure out what to do for the lifetime users. Instead, he got 30~ days of advance notice after repeated promises that the pricing would not be like Twitter (a lie) and/or no major changes to the API in 2023 (also a lie).

At the end of the day, the people leading these efforts want to end on a good note so they can point to their work as an example of their skills for future opportunities. It is not a good look, where in the face of a belligerent collaborator (i.e. Reddit leadership), one responds in a belligerent manner. Even if Reddit leadership is well deserving of scorn, responding in kind does not create a great professional image.

BotDefense (and many other third party tools) for Reddit were built for its community members, not for Reddit the corporation, which is to say the "client" here are Reddit moderators and community members. In that regard, the developers are adopting good practices for their primary clientele.
