It's pretty clear that Redeemed Durge Tav is the canonical Tav and the most interesting. All the other versions are bland in comparison.

But you can definitely get some of the interactions you're looking for by playing an Origin character. Playing as Karlach, I definitely created non-canonical interactions with the other Origin characters.

If the AI for the ghouls from Danse Macabre is any example, they make stupid choices. The ghouls can be standing next to an enemy and waste their turn with Dash to get to another enemy.

The "Sync Contacts" setting is weird. You can toggle it on, but it doesn't gain or ask for the OS permissions on Android. There's a brief message saying you have to give it the permission. No idea why they didn't just use the built in SDK to ask for the permission.

The go community is strongly opinionated in unique ways. For example, using libraries is generally frowned upon. You either use something included in the language itself (standard library) or copy/paste the code you wrote in another project. There's also advocacy for shorter variable names which generally seems counter to the normal "write descriptive variable name" mantra.

All in all, I hope the ideas / opinions came from a good place and then some people took them as black & white rules. But they also come off as one or two people's pet peeves who got to build a language around them.

I'm going to have to print out the Go version for all future "it's idiomatic" and "but the community!" debates at work

Just add them. You're a developer and automated testing is one of our tools. A woodworker wouldn't ask permission to sand.

It depends. This case is brought against Amazon because the plaintiff was specifically (allegedly) injured by a product sold by Amazon. The judge/jury might find that Amazon's safety practices were negligent, which might have a ripple effect on other retailers safety practices. Alternatively, the judge/jury might find the products themselves are illegal, which would impact the whole industry*.

* So technically only the court / circuit the litigation is being brought in, unless it's appealed to the Supreme Court. Then the verdict impacts the whole country.

The npm package has about 4000 weekly downloads. I don't know what that means in terms of popularity.

These people don't even read their own literature. The Catholic church's ban on alchemy is about falsely claiming something is a valuable metal in order to pay for debts. It has nothing to do with the occult -- the ban was because it's a sin to lie / cheat / steal. A saint is even on record saying that alchemical gold is ok if the end if product is real gold.

With that context, of course God doesn't give a shit if you use SQLAlchemy as long as you aren't using it to defraud people. If you were defrauding people, it wouldn't matter what tool you used.

I use Firefox full time but I'm bummed at the number of sites that break in odd ways when not using Chrome. As an engineer, I understand how appealing it is to only have to test in one browser, but this monopoly is the result.

He drove past the ... victim advocacy center ... and was captured on surveillance cameras throwing the can into the center's parking lot. One of the center's employees ... saw Blakeslee throw the can from his car and recovered it in the parking lot... [and] called police to report the incident and the attorney was eventually charged with misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and littering.
