Batteries included backend frameworks exists in the JS ecosystem, just look at https://adonisjs.com/ . The problem is that the nodejs ecosystem started off with micro-frameworks as the antithesis to what they believed were “overbearing” frameworks, like rails and Django, at the time. I remember express’s selling point was to build quick and dirty.
Even from the POV of micro-frameworks, the JS ecosystem sucks. There's just so many competing half-baked libraries doing the same thing slightly differently and incompatible ways.
Compare this to the Ruby ecosystem, where every framework (including Rails) uses Rack, which means that all the frameworks compose together, if that's how you'd like to modularize your monolith. Or the other ecosystem known for its preference for libraries over frameworks, Go, where everything is standardized around http.Handler, so whatever you pick is basically guaranteed to compose.
And it's not just the lack of good overall frameworks, it's the general lack of good defaults for libraries in Node-land. Among the most popular ORMs/query builders over the years there are some surprising omissions, with Knex not supporting connection pinning or Prism not doing database joins by default for a long time.
Everyone who works with the web is forced to use it, each coming in with their own opinions of how things should be done.. thus we have the fragmentation
Ruby grew in a large part due to Rails, so everyone that's in—and stayed in—that community has been self selected to share similar ideas of how to build web apps
My reasoning for not using ember was it’s steep learning curve and easier libs(angular 1, backbone, react) to work with at the time(~2012 to 2014). Honestly, react wasn’t very big during this period, it was Angular that truly dominated.
I work at a startup that may be affected by this situation and even I agree with your sentiment. If the startups affected by this ordeal are bailed out, then at the bare minimum we the public should get 10% equity for every startup saved. Let's go the VC route and get something for our tax dollars(socialize those gains).
Try Hansa Teutonic or Tigris & Euphrates. Basically two different takes on area control and route building. Definitely has a lot of player interaction, of the good and bad.
I think it really depends on the game, you can have your game with little interaction, and then the clashing of players type of euro.
I like the theming, making wine. I get that the game starts off a bit slow due to the build up, but that's what I like. There are so many choices, and I like that. Kinda, choose your own engine building path style of game.
I have the Tuscany expansion, playing with 4 seasons and the unique workers makes the game even better in my opinion. I can see why some wouldn't like it, as it's a choice salad style game, and on first play through can seem like you're really doing nothing expect putting meeples down.
I actually wish they made a beer themed version of the game, call Bavaria or something.
I agree with on the basegame. It was fun the first few games, becomes kinda boring when you don't play with a large group as the bird cards don't change often.
The expansions changed the game completely for me, it's more strategic and you're interacting with other player more (i.e. in-between round activation, end of round powers, more steal resource from other players, etc).
I personally love that the game play is very fast, as you have limited number of moves every round.
The Oceania expansion with the nectar tokens and new board really let you do more in the game.
I would give it another try with the expansions, it's truly a different game.
"Zhengzhou, China. The facility is currently operating at significantly reduced capacity. As we have done throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we are prioritizing the health and safety of the workers in our supply chain."
From different news outlets and youtube channels that cover china's zero covid policy I feel the statement above referring to the health and safety of the Foxconn workers is pure PR puff.
I really like this youtube channel call China Insights witch gives some decent information on this exact Foxconn issues and how the workers are fleeing the lock-down.
