    Not really a language you would write in but WebAssembly. I have this dream of a single WASM runtime environment across web, desktop, mobile with devs writing apps once, compiling them down to WASM, distributing them over the Internet, and users running them on any platform they like.

    Train gameplay was actually enjoyable for me (especially the way it got used in one of the end game fights was so cool). It was also nice that Zelda was an actual part of the game and helped solve puzzles instead of some princess locked away in a castle.

    I played Phantom Hourglass much later and Spirit Tracks honestly just felt much more polished and fun.

    I really hope so. Last code I reviewed was full of !! and companion objects trying to emulate Java static instead of top-level consts. Even I'm still trying to figure out what idiomatic Kotlin looks like. We got a ways to go...

  • treechicken treechicken 6 months ago 100%

    The interoperability is both a blessing and a curse imo since it let us half-ass the integration by leaving a bunch of Java code unconverted. I could start refactoring everything but then my team would stop reviewing my PRs due to the diff size (and then my manager would eventually find out that I've been using up work time doing this instead of shipping features during crunch week).

    I really much prefer Kotlin to Java. I just wish my team had actually had a commitment to it instead of just sorta using it with no migration plan.

  • treechicken treechicken 6 months ago 89%

    This is literally how this all started for us lol. Senior wanted to try to migrate everything to Kotlin in our project. Migration never finished. Now one of our major repos is just half Kotlin half Java. Devs on our team learn Kotlin by unexpectedly encountering it when they need to touch that code.

    Stability gives way to chaos which gives way to stability once again. While the state of a two-body system can be modeled via simple closed form equations, the mere introduction of a third body turns that which was once predictable into a chaotic mess whose behavior utterly escapes human understanding.

    These were the thoughts racing through Dr. Wang's mind as he prepared to enter his first VR threesome. That and why he had agreed to any of this at all in the first place.

    I got kinda obsessed with a security policy engine last year and am trying to build a visual novel around it.

    The story is supposed to take place in the near future where advancements in medicine and technology have created an implant that allows humans to program their cells' semipermeable membranes via software using this engine's policy language. The implant has the promise of preventing all disease since the right policy can regulate what enters your cells. However, in reality, many people suffer side-effects due to having implants with poorly-programmed policies. You play as a tuner who needs to save ailing patients by fixing their implants' buggy policies.

    I'm thinking of making something similar to Trauma Center where there will be these real-time policy tuning games interwoven with sections of VN plot. Of course it's all ideas and prototypes rn. Nothing ready to show :P

    Software people, how do you do releases?

    My team has this one shared component that gets involved in like every feature's development. This year, we're loading like 5 different features onto it, all with different timelines, and my head's about to explode trying to figure out how to make it all fly. How does everyone else do their software releases? Do you freeze prod and then do one big release later? Throw everything into prod during dev, hope no one sees the unreleased stuff, and just announce it later? Or something else entirely?

    At what age do you think is too old to be living with parents?

    Background+rant: I'm in my early to mid-20s and still living at home with my dad. I'm not a NEET and am employed at a normal office job. I enjoy the comfort of my home. I like being with family (and I believe they feel blessed to have their kid at home longer). I like not having to pay rent. However, I also keep feeling some nagging pressure to "grow up and leave the nest". Everything in my mind tells me that moving out is irrational. I would lose 1/3rd of my income to rent, go through a bunch of logistical hoops to find a new place, lose the last few moments I have with my family, just so I can prove to nobody that I'm independent, maybe discover new things, and also probably get in on some of that loneliness action that the rest of my generation is going through. Yet, the pressure is still there. No one looks down on me for it, but I feel a bit embarrassed to tell people I'm living at home, like I'm admitting failure or incompetency. My friends will occasionally ask when I'm planning on moving out and the question just lingers longer than it should in my head. I compare myself to my parents and grandparents and can't help but feel like a child compared to the people they were when they were at my age. Obviously quite conflicted on this, so I'm interested in seeing what others have to say.
